In fact, the wish to help others can always be found among common people. On September 5, 2022, when an earthquake hit Luding, Sichuan, 28-year-old hydropower station (水电站) worker Gan Yu chose not to leave but stay at his workplace, saving villages downstream (下游的) from being flooded (被淹没). People think he is a hero like Lei Feng, but he doesn’t feel that he should be compared to the young hero. “Lei Feng is a role model to all Chinese young people. The things he did may seem small, but behind them was a nobility (高贵的品质) that we can all achieve,” he said. Zeng Qiangfei, 24, is also from Sichuan. In 2013, when an earthquake happened in his hometown, he was studying in a middle school. Zeng remembered seeing rescuers (救援者) and volunteers gather there to help. When he grew up, he became a volunteer himself. After a terrible quake hit Turkey and Syria this year, he flew there to help. During the rescue, he always saw local people bowing quietly to rescuers like them. “I grew up listening to Lei Feng’s stories. He is an excellent young man who tried his best to help others,” said Zeng. This view is shared by a 56-year-old British man named James Elroy Edginton, who lives in Hunan, the hometown of Lei Feng. Working at a local college, Edginton volunteers to help students from poor families, and is warmly regarded as a “foreign Lei Feng”. “I am honored to be connected with the spirit of Lei Feng. His qualities are timeless and borderless,” he said. 41. Which of the following words can best describe Gan Yu? A. Responsible (负责任的). B. Smart. C. Patient. D. Careful. 42. Why did Zeng Qiangfei become a volunteer when he grew up? A. Because he wanted local people to thank him. B. Because he was quite moved by Gan Yu’s story. C. Because he learned about volunteering at school. D. Because he was influenced greatly by volunteers. 43. Where is Lei Feng’s hometown according to the passage? A. In Sichuan. B. In Luding. C. In Hunan. D. In Turkey. 44. How does the writer support his idea? A. By listing numbers. B. By giving examples. C. By making surveys. D. By asking questions. 45. What’s the best title for the passage? A. The ways of helping others B. The spirit of Lei Feng never dies C. The stories of young heroes D. Chinese volunteers are everywhere 【答案】41. A 42. D 43. C 44. B 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了“雷锋精神”和一些代表人物。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据“On September 5, 2022, when an earthquake hit Luding, Sichuan, 28-year-old hydropower station (水电站) worker Gan Yu chose not to leave but stay at his workplace, saving villages downstream (下游的) from being flooded”可知水电站施工技术员甘宇在地震中依旧坚守水电站，可推知他是很负责任的。故选A。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Zeng remembered seeing rescuers (救援者) and volunteers gather there to help. When he grew up, he became a volunteer himself.”可知，是因为他深受志愿者的影响，长大以后自己也成了一名志愿者。故选D。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“This view is shared by a 56-year-old British man named James Elroy Edginton, who lives in Hunan, the hometown of Lei Feng.”可知，雷锋的故乡在湖南。故选C。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。本文通过例举三个人帮助他人的经历，介绍了“雷锋精神”。故选B。 【45题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了“雷锋精神”和一些代表人物，以选项B“雷锋精神永垂不朽”为标题最合适。故选B。 四、短文句子填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并将所选的答案工整填写在答题卡相应的位置上：选项中有一项为多余选项。 On Christmas Eve— the night before Christmas Day, children all over Britain put a stocking at the end of their beds before they go to sleep.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了圣诞老人在圣诞节前夜会来给孩子们送礼物，而圣诞老人实际上是不存在的，比如在吉姆和凯特家中，给孩子们送礼物的其实是他们的父亲。 【46题详解】 根据下文“He gets to the top of each house and climbs down the chimney (烟囱) into the fireplace. He fills each of the stockings with Christmas presents.”可知此处是说圣诞老人给大家送礼物，所以上句应该是在描述很善良和蔼。选项C“圣诞老人非常善良”符合语境，故选C。 【47题详解】 根据下文“In Jim and Kate’s house ‘Father Christmas’ is really Mr. Green”可知，圣诞老人不是真实存在的，选项A“当然，圣诞老人不是真实的”符合语境，故选A。 【48题详解】 根据下文“Then he quietly goes into their bedrooms and fills their stockings with small presents.”可知，格林先生肯定是在孩子们睡着后悄悄地走进他们的卧室，在他们的袜子里装满了小礼物，选项E“他通常等到孩子们都睡着了”符合语境，故选E。 【49题详解】 根据“When they were very young, Mr. Green sometimes wore a red coat.The children are no longer young and they know who ‘Father Christmas’ really is.”可知，以前孩子们小的时候，他会穿一件红色的外套，但孩子们现在已经不小了，他们知道“圣诞老人”到底是谁，他肯定就不会再特意穿红色外套给他们送礼物了，选项B“但他现在不这么做了”符合语境，故选B。 【50题详解】 根据下句“They look forward to their father’s presents and love”可知，孩子们虽然已经不小了，但他们期待爸爸的礼物和爱，所以上句应该提到他们将袜子放在床尾，选项D“但他们仍然把长筒袜放在床尾”符合语境，故选D。 第二部分（非选择题共30分） 五、短文语法填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。请将答案写在答题卡上指定的位置。 Mi was born in Sichuan Province.

Which can be the best title for the passage? A. The Importance of AI B. Mother’s Great Love C. A Heartwarming Story D. Ways of Saying Goodbye D It is more than sixty years since the death of Lei Feng, and yet his spirit of selflessness (无私) is still alive, inspiring Chinese young people. In fact, the wish to help others can always be found among common people. On September 5, 2022, when an earthquake hit Luding, Sichuan, 28-year-old hydropower station (水电站) worker Gan Yu chose not to leave but stay at his workplace, saving villages downstream (下游的) from being flooded (被淹没). People think he is a hero like Lei Feng, but he doesn’t feel that he should be compared to the young hero. “Lei Feng is a role model to all Chinese young people. The things he did may seem small, but behind them was a nobility (高贵的品质) that we can all achieve,” he said. Zeng Qiangfei, 24, is also from Sichuan. In 2013, when an earthquake happened in his hometown, he was studying in a middle school. Zeng remembered seeing rescuers (救援者) and volunteers gather there to help. When he grew up, he became a volunteer himself. After a terrible quake hit Turkey and Syria this year, he flew there to help. During the rescue, he always saw local people bowing quietly to rescuers like them. “I grew up listening to Lei Feng’s stories. He is an excellent young man who tried his best to help others,” said Zeng. This view is shared by a 56-year-old British man named James Elroy Edginton, who lives in Hunan, the hometown of Lei Feng. Working at a local college, Edginton volunteers to help students from poor families, and is warmly regarded as a “foreign Lei Feng”. “I am honored to be connected with the spirit of Lei Feng. His qualities are timeless and borderless,” he said. 41. Which of the following words can best describe Gan Yu? A. Responsible (负责任的). B. Smart. C. Patient. D. Careful. 42. Why did Zeng Qiangfei become a volunteer when he grew up? A. Because he wanted local people to thank him. B. Because he was quite moved by Gan Yu’s story. C. Because he learned about volunteering at school. D. Because he was influenced greatly by volunteers. 43. Where is Lei Feng’s hometown according to the passage? A. In Sichuan. B. In Luding. C. In Hunan. D. In Turkey. 44. How does the writer support his idea? A. By listing numbers. B. By giving examples. C. By making surveys. D. By asking questions. 45. What’s the best title for the passage? A. The ways of helping others B. The spirit of Lei Feng never dies C. The stories of young heroes D. Chinese volunteers are everywhere 四、短文句子填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并将所选的答案工整填写在答题卡相应的位置上：选项中有一项为多余选项。 On Christmas Eve— the night before Christmas Day, children all over Britain put a stocking at the end of their beds before they go to sleep.
