Some people go to other countries and work as volunteers. Volunteers give their time to help people — for example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they help with environmental protection. Pauline Jones, 18, lives in Cardiff, Wales. Next year she wants to go to a university to study Spanish, but now she is living in Belize, a small country in Central America. Pauline says, “I'm working with other people here to protect the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) in the sea near Belize. The reefs here are beautiful, but if the sea water is polluted, the coral dies. I'm helping to study the coral and the fish that live around the reefs. All over the world, coral reefs are dying. We need to do something about the problem before it's too late. I'm staying with a family here. They are very friendly and I help with the cooking and the cleaning. I don't get any money, but that's OK. I love my work here, and I have learned a lot about the people of Belize — and myself. When I finish my work, I want to stay here for another three months. I plan to visit other countries in Central America too.” ( )44. From the passage, we can know that Pauline _______. A.comes from Belize B. is good at Spanish C. makes a lot of money D. is away from her family ( )45. Which of the following volunteer work does Pauline do? 1 helping in a hospital ② helping to study fish ③ protecting coral reefs ④ teaching in a school A. ①② B. ③④ C. ①④ D. ②③ ( )46. The passage is probably from a _______. A.diary B. guidebook C. magazine D. dictionary C As a child, whenever you have a problem, you are most likely to turn to your family members or friends. But as you grow up, you should learn how to do things by yourself, because a part of being an adult(成年人) is to master(掌握) some basic life skills. However, it seems that many kids, even adults are gradually(渐渐地) losing these skills. Whether they are learning to ride a bike or swim, they all have a bit of trouble in mastering some certain important life skills. Nowadays, some children don’t know what to do with the trouble they meet. When they are in trouble, they ask their parents for help right away. In this way, they can’t improve their own independence(独立). Why do children lose their ability of independence? One reason is that parents care about them too much. In fact, many parents often care more about children’s study, while they easily forget the importance of children’s independence. They try every way to help them and even don’t let them do any housework. Once these children leave the family, they won’t have the ability to take care of themselves. American researcher Tuimeng has spent more than 30 years researching 1,500 children and he found that excellent children have independent ability and persistent spirit(坚持不懈的精神) and they also have the desire (欲望) to tackle any difficulty by themselves. In fact, every child has a strong sense of independence. When they can finish something independently, they will be very proud and happy. So parents should give their children support and encouragement(鼓励). And schools can provide more chances for students to attend competitions, social activities or volunteer jobs. Parents and schools can also teach them some basic life skills according to their age, like cooking, washing and cleaning. Children are members of the family, and they should take the responsibility(责任) to do some housework. This can not only develop their independence, but also improve the sense of belonging(归属感). ( )47. What is a part of being an adult? A. To learn how to manage time. B. To have a clear plan about future. C. To know how to ask for help. D. To master some basic life skills. ( )48. According to the writer, why do children lose their ability of independence? A. They can’t take care of themselves. B. They spend much time on study. C. Their parents help them too much. D. Their parents don’t teach them life skills. ( )49. What does the underlined word “tackle” probably mean? A. Prepare. B. Solve. C. Ask. D. Believe. ( )50. What is the passage mainly about? A. The experts’ opinions on independence. B. The ways of dealing with difficulties. C. The results of a research about children. D. The importance of independence for children. D When Anne woke up the next morning, she could not remember where she was. Then, she remembered. This was Green Gables and they didn’t want her because she wasn’t a boy! She looked out of the window. It was such a beautiful place. She wished they would not send her away. During the drive back to the station, Marilla said, “It’s five miles, and since you enjoy talking so much, you can tell me what you know about yourself.” “I was eleven last March”, said Anne, “and I was born in Bolingbroke, Nova Scotia. My father and mother were teachers. They were very poor and lived in a small yellow house in Bolingbroke. My mother died from a fever soon after I was born, and my father died four days later from a fever, too.” “I lived with some people called Thomas until I was eight years old and helped look after their other children. Then, Mr. Thomas was killed when he fell under a train. Then, Mrs. Hammond took me, and I lived with her for two years and look after all her children. Then, she died. Nobody wanted me, so I was put in a children’s home.” Marilla asked no more questions. She felt sorry for Anne. The child had had a hard life, living with people who did not really want her. She began to think it was a pity the girl had to be sent back to the children’s home. Marilla thought long and hard about keeping Anne. She knew that her brother wanted to keep her, and she saw that the girl was clever, even if she liked to dream. The next afternoon, Marilla said to the little girl, “Sit down and listen. We have decided that you may stay here. You must go to school when it opens again in September.” “Oh, thank you,” Anne said happily. Anne had been at Green Gables a fortnight before Mrs. Lynde came to see what she was like. “You’re not much to look at,” Mrs. Lynde said. “You’re very thin and plain. And your face has freckles and your hair is the color of carrots.” “I hate you,” cried Anne. “I hate you! I hate you!” “What a temper!” cried Mrs. Lynde. “Anne, go to your room and stay there until I come up,” said Marilla. Anne ran to her room, crying. Afterward, Marilla went upstairs to talk to Anne. ( )51. Why didn’t Mattew and Marilla want Anne? A. Because they didn’t like her. B. Because she was talkative. C. Because she wasn’t a boy. D. Because she had a bad temper. ( )52. How did Marilla feel after hearing Anne’s past life? A. Happy. B. Lucky. C. Angry. D. Sorry. ( )53. How long had Anne been at Green Gables? A. A weekend. B. A month. C. A day. D. A fortnight. ( )54. Where must Anne go in September? A. To work. B. To school. C. To church. D. To her room. ( )55. Whom would Anne apologize（道歉） to? A. Mrs. Lynde. B. Marilla. C. Matthew. D. Mrs. Hammond. 五．六选五（（共5题，每题2分，计10分） Chen Xiaoyi used to travel four to five times a year. However, she has been at home for about two years because of COVID-19. “Life got quiet suddenly.
