In 1990, Hal Donaldson was 23 years old, fresh out of college and found himself in Calcutta, India, where he was asked to interview Mother Teresa.
Donaldson says about the great woman famed for feeding the hungry, “She wasn’t wearing shoes and her ankles were swollen (肿的). She sat down with me and was very polite. ”After the interview, Mother Teresa asked him, “What are you doing to help the poor?” Donaldson admitted that he was young and wasn’t focused on helping others. With a smile on her face, Mother Teresa said, “Everyone can do something.”
Those words deeply struck Donaldson and forced him to face some hard truths about himself
Hal Donaldson grew up in the San Francisco Bay area. When he was 12 years old, his parents were hit by a drunk driver; his father died, and his mother was seriously injured. To make ends met, they went on welfare. Donaldson says, “I had holes in my shoes and clothes. When you’re teased at school for that, you just want to escape.”
He managed to do just that. Donaldson got into college and turned his focus to making money for himself. He says, “I was just trying to find my way out of insignificance. However, it’s easy to overlook others along the way. I was the guy that would see a homeless person and cross the street; so I didn’t have to confront (面对) him. My focus was on climbing to the top instead of helping those trying to climb with me.”
Donaldson returned home from India with a different thought. He traveled to eight cities in America and stayed on the streets and listened to stories of the homeless. “My heart broke,” he says. “I knew I could no longer just live for myself.”
Inspired by Mother Teresa’s words and the stories he’d heard across America, Donaldson loaded a pick-up truck with $300 worth of groceries and handed them out to anyone who needed help. In1994, Donaldson created the nonprofit organization, Convoy for Hope, which works with communities across America and around the world. Their work focuses on feeding children, women’s empowerment, helping farmers and disaster services.
24. What did 23-year-old Hal Donaldson do in India?
A. He interviewed Mother Teresa. B. He fed the hungry with Mother Teresa,
C. He attended an interview for a college. D. He did something to help the poor.
25. What can we learn about Hal Donaldson from paragraph 4?
A. He was born with disability. B. He led a hard life as a child.
C. He was well treated at school D. He survived as a parentless boy.
26. How does Hal Donaldson describe himself in college?
A. Self-centered. B. Sympathetic. C. Popular. D. Casual.
27. How did Hal Donaldson change after he returned home from India?
A. He preferred traveling to volunteering. B. He suddenly fell in love with journalism.
C. He turned his focus to living for himself. D. He gradually devoted himself to helping others.

Scientists are urging that deep sea metal mining should be stopped temporarily. They warn in a report that it can cause severe and damaging effects on Pacific Ocean areas.
The recently-released report examined more than 250 published studies on deep Sea mining. The research was examined by the Deep Sea Mining Campaign- a collection of not-for profit organizations. The report centers on mining activities related to small metallic particles(金属颗粒),called nodules, found on the seabed. The material can contain different metals. Increasing demand for these metals has led to a rise in deep-sea mining operations. The metals are commonly used in battery manufacturing and other technology products.
However, the scientists warn that mining for these nodules will cause irreversible(不可逆的) damage to an ocean already under pressure. The operations will affect areas across the South Pacific, including the nations of Kiribati, the Cook Islands, Nauru, Tonga and Papua New Guinea.
The report notes that a moratorium is the only responsible way to move forward until certain conditions surrounding deep-sea mining can be met. The scientists are calling for additional study to fully understand the environmental, social and economic risks.
Andrew Chin is the report's lead researcher. He says in a statement that nodule mining will likely result in the loss of sea life and cause damage to deep seabeds for thousands of years. He adds that the operations can put people at risk who depend on the ocean and its continued health.
A company planning to be one of the first to carry out mining operations in the area is Canada's DeepGreen, which aims to begin by 2024. It seeks to mine metallic nodules to be used in power systems for electric vehicles. DeepGreen Chief Executive Officer Gerard Barron defended the company's plans in reaction to the report. He said deep-sea mining offered the best alternative to surface mining, which has & long history of pollution and destroying forests and wildlife.
28. Why are deep-sea mining operations on the rise?
A. More metals are needed. B. Surface mining is banned,
C. Battery industry is falling. D. The seabed is easy to find,
29. Which of the following best explains the word “moratorium" underlined in paragraph 4?
A. Loose measure. B. Thorough study. C. Permanent deal. D. Temporary stop.
30. What can we learn from Andrew Chin's words?
A. Conditions surrounding deep-sea mining are great.
B. The damage caused by nodule mining is reversible.
C. Nodule mining can cause harm in various aspects.
D. People sure less likely to be affected by nodule mining,
31. What's Gerard Barron's attitude towards deep-sea mining?
A. Opposed. B. Supportive. C. Ambiguous. D. Unconcerned.
D
When I was in primary school, sometimes I would meet a girl of the same age as me. Lisa was never active, but she was always very sweet and nice. In the 5th grade she came to my class. She was absent a lot, and one day I had the courage to ask why. She told me she was sick, and she explained she wore a wig (假发) because her medicine made her lose her hair. Since then, anytime Lisa came to class, I would hang around with her on the playground.
I received much ridicule (嘲笑) from my friends for this because they thought I was ignoring them for Lisa. My family education taught me to be nice, and I felt Lisa’s needs were much more important than others I knew.
It had been months since Lisa was in our class, and one day our teacher was crying. She explained Lisa died the day before and would no longer be our classmate. She told us Lisa had fought a battle (斗争) with cancer for years.
I was shocked. Lisa never spoke of her illness as if it could kill her. Well, all these years I have kept Lisa in my mind and heart. When I go through the important events in my life, I think of Lisa.
I’ve had a strong wish recently to find her mother and father. I’d like to tell them that though they never met me, their daughter had a sweet effect on my life. I have no idea what her parents’ first names are. I write to your column (专栏) and hope you can point me in the right direction.
Lisa was such a lovely girl. Maybe her parents would be comforted by the fact that after all these years they are not the only ones who remember her.
32. Why was the author being laughed at?
A. Because she wore a wig to school.
B. Because she always kept Lisa company.
C. Because she cried in the classroom.
D. Because she lost her friends because of Lisa.

B. To be nice to everyone everywhere.
C. To face challenges in life bravely.
D. To put others’ needs above yours.
35 The author wrote this passage mainly to ________.

I faced a tight budget when I was nine. On November Ist, I used up most of the money I saved. With a small amount of pocket money left before Christmas I didn’t have enough to buy presents for the family.
I was seriously considering going to my dad and asking for an advance on the next year’s pocket money, so I could at least buy gifts for my family members. But then, one evening, I was sitting in my room reading advertisements in the back of a magazine. Several greeting-card companies were telling us how people could make money by selling their cards and stationery (文具). Normally, I would have passed right over the ads, but this time my situation was so difficult that I felt I had nothing to lose.
The ad that attracted me most was one by a well-known greeting-card company in my nation, whose products were of high quality. With my parents’ help, I contacted the company, although they preferred adults or older kids to advertise their products. After my sincere request, they agreed to give me, a nine-year-old boy, a chance.
My sales materials arrived within the week. I had expected something small and neat, but the package looked like a dinosaur’s shoebox it was close to three feet long and nearly a foot wide, full of stuff. There was a thick binder (活页夹) containing a complete selection of the cards and some writing paper, which I would be selling for around $3 per box.
Although my parents supported my try to make money by myself, they had little confidence in my success; after all, instead of an outgoing kid, I was somewhat shy. However, I was determined to have a try to challenge myself.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Wasting no time, I set off and knocked on doors in my neighborhood.

Eventually, I earned over $20, a large sum of money for a 9-year-old kid in 1954.

In 1990, Hal Donaldson was 23 years old, fresh out of college and found himself in Calcutta, India, where he was asked to interview Mother Teresa.
Donaldson says about the great woman famed for feeding the hungry, “She wasn’t wearing shoes and her ankles were swollen (肿的). She sat down with me and was very polite. ”After the interview, Mother Teresa asked him, “What are you doing to help the poor?” Donaldson admitted that he was young and wasn’t focused on helping others. With a smile on her face, Mother Teresa said, “Everyone can do something.”
Those words deeply struck Donaldson and forced him to face some hard truths about himself.
Hal Donaldson grew up in the San Francisco Bay area. When he was 12 years old, his parents were hit by a drunk driver; his father died, and his mother was seriously injured. To make ends met, they went on welfare. Donaldson says, “I had holes in my shoes and clothes. When you’re teased at school for that, you just want to escape.”
He managed to do just that. Donaldson got into college and turned his focus to making money for himself. He says, “I was just trying to find my way out of insignificance. However, it’s easy to overlook others along the way. I was the guy that would see a homeless person and cross the street; so I didn’t have to confront (面对) him. My focus was on climbing to the top instead of helping those trying to climb with me.”
Donaldson returned home from India with a different thought. He traveled to eight cities in America and stayed on the streets and listened to stories of the homeless. “My heart broke,” he says. “I knew I could no longer just live for myself.”
Inspired by Mother Teresa’s words and the stories he’d heard across America, Donaldson loaded a pick-up truck with $300 worth of groceries and handed them out to anyone who needed help. In1994, Donaldson created the nonprofit organization, Convoy for Hope, which works with communities across America and around the world. Their work focuses on feeding children, women’s empowerment, helping farmers and disaster services.
24. What did 23-year-old Hal Donaldson do in India?
A. He interviewed Mother Teresa. B. He fed the hungry with Mother Teresa,
C. He attended an interview for a college. D. He did something to help the poor.
25. What can we learn about Hal Donaldson from paragraph 4?
A. He was born with disability. B. He led a hard life as a child.
C. He was well treated at school D. He survived as a parentless boy.
26. How does Hal Donaldson describe himself in college?
A. Self-centered. B. Sympathetic. C. Popular. D. Casual.
27. How did Hal Donaldson change after he returned home from India?
A. He preferred traveling to volunteering. B. He suddenly fell in love with journalism.

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In 1990, Hal Donaldson was 23 years old, fresh out of college and found himself in Calcutta, India, where he was asked to interview Mother Teresa.(1990年,哈尔·唐纳森23岁,大学刚毕业,来到印度加尔各答,在那里他被要求采访特蕾莎修女。)”可知,他在印度加尔各答采访了特蕾莎修女。故选A。

When you’re teased at school for that, you just want to escape.”(12岁时,他的父母被一名醉酒司机撞倒;他的父亲去世了,母亲受了重伤。为了维持生计,他们靠福利生活。唐纳森说:“我的鞋子和衣服上都有洞。当你在学校被嘲笑时,你只想逃跑。”)”可知,父亲出车祸去世后,他和母亲依靠福利生活,他的鞋子和衣服上都有洞,在学习被人嘲笑,由此可推测出,他小时候生活艰难。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中唐纳森的话“I was just trying to find my way out of insignificance. However, it’s easy to overlook others along the way.

【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Donaldson returned home from India with a different thought. He traveled to eight cities in America and stayed on the streets and listened to stories of the homeless.(唐纳森从印度回到家,有了不同的想法。他游历了美国的八个城市,在街头逗留,聆听无家可归者的故事。)”和最后一段“Inspired by Mother Teresa’s words and the stories he’d heard across America, Donaldson loaded a pick-up truck with $300 worth of groceries and handed them out to anyone who needed help. In1994, Donaldson created the nonprofit organization, Convoy for Hope, which works with communities across America and around the world. Their work focuses on feeding children, women’s empowerment, helping farmers and disaster services.(受到特蕾莎修女的话和他在美国各地听到的故事的启发,唐纳森把价值300美元的食品杂货装上一辆皮卡车,分发给任何需要帮助的人。1994年,唐纳森创建了非营利组织“希望车队”,与美国和世界各地的社区合作。他们的工作重点是给儿童提供食物、增强妇女权能、帮助农民和灾害服务。)”可推知,他从印度回来后,开始逐渐投入到帮助他人的事业中。故选D。
C
Scientists are urging that deep sea metal mining should be stopped temporarily. They warn in a report that it can cause severe and damaging effects on Pacific Ocean areas.
The recently-released report examined more than 250 published studies on deep Sea mining. The research was examined by the Deep Sea Mining Campaign- a collection of not-for profit organizations. The report centers on mining activities related to small metallic particles(金属颗粒),called nodules, found on the seabed. The material can contain different metals. Increasing demand for these metals has led to a rise in deep-sea mining operations. The metals are commonly used in battery manufacturing and other technology products.
However, the scientists warn that mining for these nodules will cause irreversible(不可逆的) damage to an ocean already under pressure. The operations will affect areas across the South Pacific, including the nations of Kiribati, the Cook Islands, Nauru, Tonga and Papua New Guinea.
The report notes that a moratorium is the only responsible way to move forward until certain conditions surrounding deep-sea mining can be met. The scientists are calling for additional study to fully understand the environmental, social and economic risks.
Andrew Chin is the report's lead researcher. He says in a statement that nodule mining will likely result in the loss of sea life and cause damage to deep seabeds for thousands of years. He adds that the operations can put people at risk who depend on the ocean and its continued health.
A company planning to be one of the first to carry out mining operations in the area is Canada's DeepGreen, which aims to begin by 2024. It seeks to mine metallic nodules to be used in power systems for electric vehicles. DeepGreen Chief Executive Officer Gerard Barron defended the company's plans in reaction to the report. He said deep-sea mining offered the best alternative to surface mining, which has & long history of pollution and destroying forests and wildlife.
28. Why are deep-sea mining operations on the rise?
A. More metals are needed. B. Surface mining is banned,
C. Battery industry is falling. D. The seabed is easy to find,
29. Which of the following best explains the word “moratorium" underlined in paragraph 4?
A. Loose measure. B. Thorough study. C. Permanent deal. D. Temporary stop.
30. What can we learn from Andrew Chin's words?
A. Conditions surrounding deep-sea mining are great.
B. The damage caused by nodule mining is reversible.
C. Nodule mining can cause harm in various aspects.
D. People sure less likely to be affected by nodule mining,
31. What's Gerard Barron's attitude towards deep-sea mining?
A. Opposed. B. Supportive. C. Ambiguous. D. Unconcerned.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. B
【解析】

She was absent a lot, and one day I had the courage to ask why. She told me she was sick, and she explained she wore a wig (假发) because her medicine made her lose her hair. Since then, anytime Lisa came to class, I would hang around with her on the playground.
I received much ridicule (嘲笑) from my friends for this because they thought I was ignoring them for Lisa. My family education taught me to be nice, and I felt Lisa’s needs were much more important than others I knew.
It had been months since Lisa was in our class, and one day our teacher was crying. She explained Lisa died the day before and would no longer be our classmate. She told us Lisa had fought a battle (斗争) with cancer for years.
I was shocked. Lisa never spoke of her illness as if it could kill her. Well, all these years I have kept Lisa in my mind and heart. When I go through the important events in my life, I think of Lisa.
I’ve had a strong wish recently to find her mother and father. I’d like to tell them that though they never met me, their daughter had a sweet effect on my life. I have no idea what her parents’ first names are. I write to your column (专栏) and hope you can point me in the right direction.

第四部分:语言运用(共一节,满分25分)
76. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I faced a tight budget when I was nine. On November Ist, I used up most of the money I saved. With a small amount of pocket money left before Christmas I didn’t have enough to buy presents for the family.
I was seriously considering going to my dad and asking for an advance on the next year’s pocket money, so I could at least buy gifts for my family members. But then, one evening, I was sitting in my room reading advertisements in the back of a magazine. Several greeting-card companies were telling us how people could make money by selling their cards and stationery (文具). Normally, I would have passed right over the ads, but this time my situation was so difficult that I felt I had nothing to lose.
The ad that attracted me most was one by a well-known greeting-card company in my nation, whose products were of high quality. With my parents’ help, I contacted the company, although they preferred adults or older kids to advertise their products. After my sincere request, they agreed to give me, a nine-year-old boy, a chance.
My sales materials arrived within the week. I had expected something small and neat, but the package looked like a dinosaur’s shoebox it was close to three feet long and nearly a foot wide, full of stuff. There was a thick binder (活页夹) containing a complete selection of the cards and some writing paper, which I would be selling for around $3 per box.
Although my parents supported my try to make money by myself, they had little confidence in my success; after all, instead of an outgoing kid, I was somewhat shy. However, I was determined to have a try to challenge myself.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Wasting no time, I set off and knocked on doors in my neighborhood.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Eventually, I earned over $20, a large sum of money for a 9-year-old kid in 1954.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Wasting no time, I set off and knocked on doors in my neighborhood. Gathering my courage, I introduced myself as the young representative of the well-known greeting-card company. The initial responses were mixed — some were hesitant, while others were fascinated by the idea of a child engaged in such a venture. As I showcased the high-quality cards and shared the story behind each design, the doubt began to fade away, replaced by genuine interest. Surprisingly, my shy character transformed into enthusiasm, and I found myself engaging in conversations that extended beyond the purpose of sales.
Eventually, I earned over $20, a large sum of money for a 9-year-old kid in 1954. The community’s response exceeded my expectations, and the support I received went beyond mere financial transactions. Neighbors were not just buying cards; they were encouraging a young entrepreneur. This unexpected journey into sales not only alleviated my financial concerns for Christmas but also instilled a sense of accomplishment and self-confidence. It broadened my horizons and laid the foundation for a newfound belief in the possibilities that determination and courage could unfold, regardless of age.
