话题小故事 ——值得回忆的一天
A Day to Remember
A friend of mine told me on Friday that one of our friends, Mr. Clark, had passed away. On Saturday, there would be a memorial service for him. So I went to the Kingdom Hall to pay my respects to the man I had met a few times. Mr. Clark died of cancer at age 39.
Many people came to the service. The first floor was packed with people, so I was directed to the hall at the lower level. There were about one hundred people there. I took a seat in the front row.
When the memorial was about to begin, one person stepped on the stage and started using sign language. That's when I realized there were deaf people in the crowd. It was my first time sitting with deaf people. While we listened through a speaker connected to the first hall upstairs, they listened too–but with a sign language interpreter.
During the memorial, I learned that after college, Mr. Clark worked as a computer technician in the municipal government. Because he wanted to have more time for bible studies with his students, he quit his computer job and took a job as a janitor. He worked the night shift, which gave him free time in the day to do his bible study work with others.
A few years later, he went to Africa as a missionary. Though the drought and the medical conditions were a constant challenge, he was happy and content.
Two years after he came back to Canada, he got married. They had a baby girl one year later. Last year, he was diagnosed with a very bad type of cancer, but he remained optimistic and continued his service until his last day.
Everyone at the memorial was deeply touched by his selfless nature and his love and dedication to serving God.
At the end of the memorial, all the people stood to pray and sing. As the music and singing began, I realized that I could hear only a few voices singing. When I looked around, I saw the rest of the crowd was singing with hand gestures. Most of the crowd in this room was deaf!
Watching these people signing passionately in unison, I was amazed. It's a day I will never forget.
值得回忆的一天
周五,我的一个朋友告诉我,我们的一位朋友克拉克先生去世了。星期六,将为他举行追悼会。所以我去了王国大厅,向我见过几次面的那个人致敬。克拉克先生死于癌症,享年39岁。
很多人来参加服务。一楼挤满了人,所以我被引导到较低一层的大厅。那里大约有一百人。我坐在前排。
当纪念活动即将开始时,一个人走上舞台,开始使用手语。就在那时,我意识到人群中有聋哑人。这是我第一次和聋哑人坐在一起。当我们通过与楼上第一个大厅相连的扬声器收听时,他们也在收听——但有手语翻译。
在纪念活动中,我了解到大学毕业后,克拉克先生在市政府担任计算机技术员。因为他想有更多的时间和学生们一起学习圣经,他辞去了电脑工作,找了一份看门人的工作。他上夜班,这让他白天有空闲时间和其他人一起学习圣经。
几年后,他作为传教士去了非洲。尽管干旱和医疗条件是一个持续的挑战,但他感到高兴和满足。
他回到加拿大两年后结婚了。一年后,他们有了一个女婴。去年,他被诊断出患有一种非常严重的癌症,但他仍然保持乐观,并继续他的服务,直到他的最后一天。
纪念馆的每个人都被他无私的天性以及他对上帝的爱和奉献深深打动。
在纪念活动的最后,所有的人都站起来祈祷和唱歌。随着音乐和歌声的响起,我意识到我只能听到几个声音在唱歌。当我环顾四周时,我看到其他人都在用手势唱歌。
这个房间里的大多数人都是聋哑人!看着这些人热情地齐声歌唱,我很惊讶。这是我永远不会忘记的一天。

Passage C
I have returned to my hometown of Wilson Creek after an absence of 10 years. So many things have changed around here. When I left Wilson Creek, there was a small lake in the southeast of the town. They have filled in the lake and built a large shopping mall and a swimming pool there. They have also built a new post office just across from my old school. The baseball stadium in the northeast of Wilson Creek has also changed completely. They have a new stand where probably a few thousand people could sit. It looks really great.
The biggest changes have taken place in the town center. It has become a pedestrian area( 步行区) and you can't drive there anymore. They have built a large square and a cinema. There is also a new street cafe and a grassy area.
My street looks just the same as it always has been, but a public library has appeared on the next street. There used to be a park there but they have cut down all the trees, which is a pity. The library now has a large green area in front of it but it's not the same as when the park was there.
Another change is the new restaurants that have opened in Wilson Creek. A Chinese restaurant and an Italian restaurant have opened in the town center, and a Mexican restaurant has opened near my home, which is where I am going tonight!
26.Where is the baseball stadium in Wilson Creek?
A.In the southeast. B.In the northeast.
C.In the town center. D.Near the writer's home.
27.The writer thinks it is a pity that .
A.his street hasn't changed
B.the park isn't there anymore
C.his street doesn't have a library
D.the library doesn't have a green area
28.What will the writer do tonight?

B.Watch a baseball match at the stadium.
C.Go shopping in the shopping mall.
D.Go to a Mexican restaurant.
29.Which is the best title for the passage?
A.Great Changes in My Hometown B.Great Buildings in My Hometown
C.My Favorite Restaurants in Town D.My Hometown
Passage E
Do animals have a culture? What do we mean by "culture"? Lately social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans, or if some animals have a culture too. When wespeak of culture, we mean a way of life a group of people have in common. Culture includes the beliefs and attitudes we learn. It is the patterns of behavior that help people to live together. It is also the patterns of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.
Our culture lets us make up for having lost our strength, claws, long teeth» and other defenses. Instead we use tools, cooperate with one another, and communicate in language. But these aspects of human behavior, or "culture" can also be found in the lives of certain animals. Animals can make tools, for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and animals. Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees (黑猩猩)can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.
30.Which of the following statements is the main idea of the passage?
A.A chimpanzee can learn to use sign language to make sentences.
B.Animals can invent tools as human beings do.
C.Knowledge and communication are no longer signs of only human behavior.
D.The line dividing human culture from animal "culture" is not as clear as we might think.
31.Culture refers to ____________.
A.the languages we learn B.the patterns of behavior we learn
C.traditional ideas D.people's good habits
32.A chimpanzee s use of tools means "____________".
A.animals are the same as human beings
B.animals can be as clever as human beings
C.the dividing line between human beings and animals no longer exists
D.animals may have a culture like our own
Passage F
If there's one thing I've learned from my years of being a kid, it's that you have ZERO control over your own life.
Ever since school ended. I haven't had anything I've needed to do or anywhere I've needed to be. As long as the air conditioner was working and the TV remote had batteries in it, I was ready for a relaxing summer holiday.
But then, out of the blue, this happened "Pack your bags. We're going on a road trip!" Mom said excitedly.
This isn't the first time Mom has sprung a trip on us without any warning. Last year on the first day of summer, she said we were going to visit Aunt Loretta at the nursing home.
It wasn't my idea of a fun way to kick off the summer. One time when we visited Aunt Loretta, her roommate grasped me and wouldn't let me go until someone gave her a chocolate cookie. Mom kept talking about going to the nursing home for a whole day, which made me worry a lot. But at breakfast the next morning, she told us where we were really going—Disney World.
I was very happy, because I was really worried about spending the whole week at the nursing home. So was Dad. But when my little brother Danny heard about the change, he became very angry. Mom had talked up the Aunt Loretta trip so much that Danny was actually excited about going there.
We ended up putting off our trip to Disney so we could visit Aunt Loretta.
I tried to talk Mom into letting us do something normal, like going to a water park for the day, but she didn't want to hear it. She said that spending a lot of time together in the car would be a "bonding" experience for the whole family.
33.What did the writer prefer to do during his summer holidays?
A.Visit Aunt Loretta with the family.
B.Travel with his family anywhere.
C.Look after his little brother.
D.Watch TV comfortably at home.
34.From the passage, we can learn that the writer _______.
A.loved his aunt very much
B.got pretty excited about the road trip
C.felt helpless with his mother's surprise trips
D.hated Danny for not going to Disney World
35.Who makes the final decision in the family?
A.The writer. B.Mom. C.Dad. D.Aunt Loretta.
36.The writer wrote the passage to ___________.
A.remember his mother B.tell the story of his aunt
C.express his love for his brother D.share his childhood experiences
Passage G
Although I have grown up, I act like a child sometimes. I don't like growing up to be an adult. Things become more difficult in the world of adults.
One day, I went to buy a Christmas card. After I went into the store, the storekeeper showed me where to find the cards. I met a young mother and her baby there.
There were a lot of toys on the shelf. The young mother stood close by the shelf so that the little girl was able to pick a toy. However, it seemed too difficult for the little girl to pick a toy. Then the young mother stopped. She picked a toy for her child and made her happy.
The big smile on the face of the little girl made me think of my childhood. When I was a small child, my parents came along whenever I needed them. They solved every problem for me. I seemed to be immersed in happy memories. Suddenly, the young mother's words brought me back to the reality (现实) .
"Dear, one day, when you become an adult, I hope you can manage your own life," she said to the little girl.
The words woke me up. I was no longer a small child. I should learn to be independent and face problems bravely by myself. And my parents will certainly be proud of me.
37.Why doesn't the writer like growing up?
38.Why do you think it was difficult for the girl to pick a toy?
39.What did his parents do if the writer needed them when he was young?
40.What does the underlined sentence mean in Chinese?
41.What can we learn from the passage?

时文阅读 01—90岁老人的冲浪年华
In the early part of his life,Seiichi Sano was a busy business owner. Later in life,he took on other difficult activities.At the age of 80, he climbed Mount Fuji, Japan's highest mountain. Soon after, he started surfing.He was recognized by the Guinness World Records as the oldest male to surf.
Sano turns 90 later this year."I think it would be interesting to try to surf until I'm 100,"Sano said. "I think I will take better care of myself when I have goals like this.”
Sano lives in a place about 20 minutes from Yokohama.He gets out most weekends on the black- sand beach near Enoshima.It is the small island that held sailing competitions during the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games.
Sano said he got the idea to try surfing from a worker at a local bank. The man's skin was always tan(棕褐色)and he did not look like a usual banker.His secret, was surfing. So. Sano found a teacher.
Sano joined hundreds of other surfers recently at Enoshima.All the surfers were younger than him, of course. Several young students who also work with Sano's surf teacher, talked about Sano."I think age doesn't matter in surfing. To be honest. I was surprised by his age,”12-year-old Iroha Shimabukuro said. “I think he's amazing.I respect(尊重)him.”said another young surfer,Shua.“I was most worried that he would get injured(受伤的).”

参考答案:
一位即将90岁的老人最近被吉尼斯世界纪录认定为世界上最年长的男性冲浪者。他表示他会继续冲浪,直到100岁。
答案详析
1.C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I think it would be interesting to try to surf until I'm100”可知,Sano 认为试着冲浪到100 岁会很有意思。由此可推知,他目前不打算停止冲浪这项运动。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第四段前三句“Sano said he got the idea to try surfing from a worker at a local bank...was surfing.”可知,Sano产生冲浪的想法是受到了一位银行职员的启发,这位职员有着棕褐色的皮肤,看起来不像一位寻常的银行职员。而他(保持健康)的秘诀就是冲浪。故是这位银行职员的经历使Sano决定开始冲浪。
3.C细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“I was surprised by his age”以及“I think he's amazing.I respect him...”可知.年轻的冲浪者惊讶于Sano的年龄,认为他很了不起并且尊重他。由此可知,他们认为Sano很了不起。
4.B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中Shua 说的话“I was most worried that he would get injured.”可知,Shua最担心Sano会受伤。由此可知,他最担心的是Sano的健康。
5.A 推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了即将90岁的老人依然在冲浪,并表示要一直玩到100 岁的事情。由此可推知,从Sano的故事中我们可以学到“一切皆有可能”的道理。B项意为“时不我待”;C项意为“笨鸟先飞”;D项意为“人多力量大”。
时文阅读 02—不躺平的南丁格尔——章金媛
On July 2, 2023, Zhang Jinyuan, 94, received the Inter-national Achievement Award at the International Council l of Nurses Congress held in Canada. It is the first time that a Chinese nurse has
won the famous prize. However, it was not the first time that Zhang had been praised by the medical community.In 2003, Zhang was given the Florence Nightingale Medal.
Born in 1929 into a wealthy family in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, Zhang once led a rich life. By chance, she read about Florence Nightingale, who spent all her life on her beloved nursing work. Zhang then made the decision to leave her comfortable life behind for a job as a nurse.
In 1951, she began her decades-long work as a nurse. Even after her retirement(退休)in 1992,Zhang didn't stop thinking of those in need of care.
In 1999, she called upon her friends to help her set up a volunteer nursing service center in Jiangxi. It was named the Jiangxi Red Cross volunteer nursing service center in 2002. It provides care services in the communities for people in need of medical aid.
In 2010, Zhang started a volunteer group named after Nightingale in Nanchang, and four years later she built another volunteer group named after herself. Today, nearly 20,000 volunteers provide free care services under Zhang's guidance(指导).
Zhang's family supports the difficult and time-consuming(费时的)job she has chosen. “My grandma doesn't know how to cook or do housework at all.But she has put her whole heart into the work of helping others. She is my hero,"said Yu Qing, Zhang's granddaughter,who works at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.
Yu has chosen to focus her research on music therapy(疗法).This is the very same purpose as her grandmother:to help more people.

3.B细节理解题。根据第二段中的 Born in 1929和第三段第一句“In1951,she began her decades-long work as a nurse.”可知,章金媛生于1929年,1951年开始当护士,故她22岁时开始当护士。
4.A细节理解题。通读本文内容可知,1999年,章金媛在江西建立了一个志愿护理服务中心;2003年章金媛被授予弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔奖章;2010年,章金媛在南昌成立了一个以南丁格尔名字命名的志愿者团体;四年后,即2014年,她又成立了另一个以自己名字命名的志愿者团体。所以事情正确发展的顺序应该是②①③④。

My street looks just the same as it always has been, but a public library has appeared on the next street. There used to be a park there but they have cut down all the trees, which is a pity. The library now has a large green area in front of it but it's not the same as when the park was there.

Passage E
Do animals have a culture? What do we mean by "culture"? Lately social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans, or if some animals have a culture too. When wespeak of culture, we mean a way of life a group of people have in common. Culture includes the beliefs and attitudes we learn. It is the patterns of behavior that help people to live together. It is also the patterns of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.
Our culture lets us make up for having lost our strength, claws, long teeth» and other defenses. Instead we use tools, cooperate with one another, and communicate in language. But these aspects of human behavior, or "culture" can also be found in the lives of certain animals. Animals can make tools, for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and animals. Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees (黑猩猩)can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.
30.Which of the following statements is the main idea of the passage?
A.A chimpanzee can learn to use sign language to make sentences.
B.Animals can invent tools as human beings do.
C.Knowledge and communication are no longer signs of only human behavior.
D.The line dividing human culture from animal "culture" is not as clear as we might think.
31.Culture refers to ____________.
A.the languages we learn B.the patterns of behavior we learn
C.traditional ideas D.people's good habits
32.A chimpanzee s use of tools means "____________".
A.animals are the same as human beings
B.animals can be as clever as human beings
C.the dividing line between human beings and animals no longer exists
D.animals may have a culture like our own
参考答案: 30.D 31.B 32.D
【解析】【分析】主要讲了人们一直认为人类和其他动物的区别在于人类会制造工具,人类有自己的文化,这些文化包括人们的信仰、态度以及人们相处的行为方式。本文提出动物也有自己的文化,黑猩猩也会制造工具,或许人类和动物的界限并不像我们以前想的那样。
30.主旨大意归纳题。文章主要提出动物也有自己的文化,或许人类和动物的界限并不像我们以前想的那样。故选D。
31.推断题。根据短文第一段这句When we speak of culture, we mean a way of life that a group of people have in common.当我们谈到文化时,我们指的是一群人共同的生活方式,可知文化指的是我们学习的行为模式,故选B。
32.细节题。根据But these aspects of human behavior, or "culture" can also be found in the lives of certain animals.人类行为或“文化”的这些方面也可以在某些动物的生活中找到,即动物可能有着和我们一样的文化,故选D。
Passage F
If there's one thing I've learned from my years of being a kid, it's that you have ZERO control over your own life.
Ever since school ended. I haven't had anything I've needed to do or anywhere I've needed to be. As long as the air conditioner was working and the TV remote had batteries in it, I was ready for a relaxing summer holiday.
But then, out of the blue, this happened "Pack your bags. We're going on a road trip!" Mom said excitedly.
This isn't the first time Mom has sprung a trip on us without any warning. Last year on the first day of summer, she said we were going to visit Aunt Loretta at the nursing home.
It wasn't my idea of a fun way to kick off the summer. One time when we visited Aunt Loretta, her roommate grasped me and wouldn't let me go until someone gave her a chocolate cookie. Mom kept talking about going to the nursing home for a whole day, which made me worry a lot. But at breakfast the next morning, she told us where we were really going—Disney World.
I was very happy, because I was really worried about spending the whole week at the nursing home. So was Dad. But when my little brother Danny heard about the change, he became very angry. Mom had talked up the Aunt Loretta trip so much that Danny was actually excited about going there.
We ended up putting off our trip to Disney so we could visit Aunt Loretta.
I tried to talk Mom into letting us do something normal, like going to a water park for the day, but she didn't want to hear it. She said that spending a lot of time together in the car would be a "bonding" experience for the whole family.
33.What did the writer prefer to do during his summer holidays?
A.Visit Aunt Loretta with the family.
B.Travel with his family anywhere.
C.Look after his little brother.
D.Watch TV comfortably at home.
34.From the passage, we can learn that the writer _______.
A.loved his aunt very much
B.got pretty excited about the road trip
C.felt helpless with his mother's surprise trips
D.hated Danny for not going to Disney World
35.Who makes the final decision in the family?
A.The writer. B.Mom. C.Dad. D.Aunt Loretta.
36.The writer wrote the passage to ___________.
A.remember his mother B.tell the story of his aunt
C.express his love for his brother D.share his childhood experiences
参考答案:33.D 34.C 35.B 36.D

Passage G
Although I have grown up, I act like a child sometimes. I don't like growing up to be an adult. Things become more difficult in the world of adults.
One day, I went to buy a Christmas card. After I went into the store, the storekeeper showed me where to find the cards. I met a young mother and her baby there.
There were a lot of toys on the shelf. The young mother stood close by the shelf so that the little girl was able to pick a toy. However, it seemed too difficult for the little girl to pick a toy. Then the young mother stopped. She picked a toy for her child and made her happy.
The big smile on the face of the little girl made me think of my childhood. When I was a small child, my parents came along whenever I needed them. They solved every problem for me. I seemed to be immersed in happy memories. Suddenly, the young mother's words brought me back to the reality (现实) .
"Dear, one day, when you become an adult, I hope you can manage your own life," she said to the little girl.
The words woke me up. I was no longer a small child. I should learn to be independent and face problems bravely by myself. And my parents will certainly be proud of me.

Big families had to share small houses which were old and dirty. Children used to go to school by bicycle.
But now people can get information on the mobile phones or computers almost at any
place and at any time. They can buy things online at home. What's more, people can talk to others by e-mail WeChat or QQ, with which they can send and receive messages whenever they like.
