A Research has shown that when we volunteer—where we give ourselves and our time to help others—we actually end up benefiting too. Our happiness grows. We feel more satisfied with life. We even have more energy and creativity. Basically, we have more to give. I’ve noticed a pattern with my friends. Sometimes, they get into the habit of gossiping about others. They will constantly complain about their bosses or coworkers. It seems as if they get caught in this loop of complaining, and their frustration distracts them in other parts of their life. When this happens, they become uninterested in new events or become annoyed by their colleagues or things that happen at work. At the same time, I’ve also seen other friends go out of their way to help someone on their team or to help out on a project that had very little—or even nothing—to do with their main work. Although it seems like they won’t receive anything in return, my friends benefit from these interactions. My friends have told me about the stronger relationships they’ve built at work and the fun they’ve had working on new and interesting projects. They’ve told me about how the people they helped before have returned the favor later on. Not only that, but they have even talked about times where their boss recognized them for their work or when they were informed in advance about upcoming projects. We often think that when we help someone else, we aren’t doing anything for ourselves. But we actually often end up getting back just as much as we give. When we step in to help someone, we often turn out to be helping ourselves, as well. 36. The author’s friends have built strong relationships through________. A．gossiping B．working C．helping others D．complaining 37. What we get back is _________what we give when we help others. A．more than B．less than C．as much as D．no more than 38. What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Helping others is not interesting. B．Helping others is helping yourself. C．Helping others has little benefits. D．Don’t help others. B Do you want to be a volunteer? Maybe you need some ideas. Here is some advice. Help kids learn and grow. Be a big brother or sister at an after-school care center. You can help little kids to learn or play with them. Give back during the holidays. Serve dinner for the homeless, volunteer at an old people’s home, or give out toys to kids. Help at an animal shelter (庇护所). Most shelters depend on (依靠) volunteers to keep the cats and dogs happy and take them to exercise. And when you’re walking dogs, you get some exercise, too. Protect the environment. Take part in a park clean-up day. Plant a tree. Join a group to work together to protect a river. Help sick people. Helping others can make you feel good. When you cheer sick people up, you also feel happy. If you have several hobbies, find a way to do them all. For example, if you love kids and are good at painting and dancing, visit a children’s hospital and teach them these interesting things. 39. What can a volunteer do at an animal shelter? A．Feed animals. B．Help animals do exercise. C．Clean the shelter. D．Make workers there happy. 40. Which is NOT mentioned (提到) as a way to protect the environment? A．Planting trees. B．Protecting rivers. C．Setting up a green club. D．Cleaning up the park. 41. What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Who can be a volunteer? B．The reasons of being a volunteer. C．The time of being a volunteer. D．Ways of being a volunteer. 42. What can we learn from the passage? A．Volunteers can feel good when they help sick people.

C Terry Fox was only seventeen when he got cancer (癌症) . He must have felt hopeless when the doctor said his right leg would have to be cut off 6 inches (英寸) above the knee. But to everyone’s surprise, Terry Fox made up his mind to become a long-distance (长距离的) runner and do something about the cancer. What a dream! Although it seemed impossible, Terry decided to run across the whole country. He hoped to raise one million dollars for cancer research. Few people believed he would make it. Anyway, on April 12, 1980, Terry Fox began his Marathon of Hope. For the first few days of his marathon, Terry Fox was alone. He started running at 4: 30 am. Day by day, people began to realize that something big was happening on the lonely road. As people saw Terry, they stopped and donated (捐赠) money for cancer research. However, his health took a rapid turn for the worse several months later. He had to give up his marathon on September 1, 1980. Terry died three months later, at the age of 22. In his short life, he raised $24 million for cancer research—one dollar for each person in his motherland. Since his death, the yearly Terry Fox Run, first held in 1981, has grown to be the world’s largest one—day fundraiser (募捐活动) for cancer research. 43.

D Knowing about yourself means not only that you find out what you’re good at and what you like, it also means discovering what you’re not good at and what you don’t like. Both help you to see your aim(目标)in life. Although most students would be unhappy if they found that they had failed a very difficult physics course, they have in fact learned a lot about themselves. They know that they should not become engineers or physical scientists. .If he or she draws something out of the failing. They may then decide on their aim and choose the kind of work they would be fit for and they would like to do. It is impossible to decide whether or not you like something until you have tried it. If you decide that you would like to play the piano, you need to take more than one lesson before you can know whether you are really interested in it or you are able to do well. It is not enough to want to be a great pianist. You also have to like the hard practice and long training before you become one. If you would enjoy being a great pianist but hate the work, forget it. It’s a good plan to try as many ideas as possible when you are still young. And then you will be able to find out what your true interests are. 46. If you say you really know yourself,________. A．you know what you are good at B．you have got the whole picture of yourself C．you keep in mind your aim in life D．you have less you don’t like than what you like 47.

But they always made their parents very happy. Old Mr. Brown had a little son named Tom. He was ten years old. He was very glad when his father wanted him to buy something for him. One day at five o’clock in the afternoon, Mr. Brown gave him two dollars and let him buy some stamps(邮票) in the post office. Tom was very excited, because for a long time he did not have so much money. Mr. Brown told him clearly where the post office was. He expected that he would come back in twenty minutes.

She is good at telling stories.”（丽莎喜欢在周末帮忙照顾生病的孩子并让他们振作起来，她擅长讲故事），C选项“We need volunteers to help take care of sick children on Saturdays and Sundays. You are welcome to tell them interesting stories to cheer them up.”（我们需要志愿者在周六和周日帮忙照顾生病的孩子，欢迎给他们讲有趣的故事让他们振作起来）与之匹配，都是围绕照顾生病孩子以及讲故事让孩子开心这一内容，所以选C。 32. 答案：G 解析：文段提到“Lulu is interested in talking about history and some old things. She is free on Sunday.”（露露对谈论历史和一些古老的事物感兴趣，她周日有空），G选项“The City Museum needs guides on Sunday. You need to tell them how the old things worked and what life was like in the past.”（城市博物馆周日需要导游，你需要给游客讲述过去的老物件是如何工作以及过去的生活是什么样的）正好符合露露对历史和老物件感兴趣且周日有空这一情况，所以选G。 33. 答案：A 解析：文段指出“As an animal lover, Linda wants to be an animal doctor. She has worked at the Animal Research Base for half a year.”（作为一名动物爱好者，琳达想成为一名动物医生，她已经在动物研究基地工作了半年），A选项“Could you help at the animal hospital? We need volunteers to help us feed young animals and play with them. It’s better for you to know how to take care of animals.”（你能来动物医院帮忙吗？我们需要志愿者帮助我们喂养小动物并和它们玩耍，最好你懂得如何照顾动物）符合琳达喜欢动物且有相关经验这一特点，所以选A。 34. 答案：E 解析：文段说“Grace likes talking with old people. She can help those who feel lonely, but she is only free on Saturday.”（格蕾丝喜欢和老人聊天，她能帮助那些感到孤独的老人，但她只有周六有空），E选项“Can you help the old and lonely people in the Old People’s Home? You can talk with them or give performances to them. Come and cheer them up. Any day is OK.”（你能帮助养老院里孤独的老人吗？你可以和他们聊天或者给他们表演节目，来让他们振作起来，哪天都行）虽然说哪天都行，但格蕾丝只有周六有空也能满足部分需求，主要是活动内容是和老人相关，符合格蕾丝的情况，所以选E。 35. 答案：D 解析：文段提到“Bob likes traveling. He is interested in introducing some places of interest to people.”（鲍勃喜欢旅行，他对向人们介绍一些名胜古迹感兴趣），D选项“Can you introduce some interesting places in this city to travelers? We need volunteers to help the travelers in Blue Sky Travel Center.”（你能向游客介绍这座城市里有趣的地方吗？我们需要志愿者在蓝天旅游中心帮助游客）与之契合，都是关于向他人介绍景点相关内容，所以选D。 第二部分阅读（共两节, 满分40分） 四、阅读理解（共20 小题; 每小题2分, 满分40分） 第一节 阅读下列短文, 从每小题所给的A、B、C、 D四个选项中选出最佳选项. A Research has shown that when we volunteer—where we give ourselves and our time to help others—we actually end up benefiting too. Our happiness grows. We feel more satisfied with life. We even have more energy and creativity. Basically, we have more to give. I’ve noticed a pattern with my friends. Sometimes, they get into the habit of gossiping about others. They will constantly complain about their bosses or coworkers. It seems as if they get caught in this loop of complaining, and their frustration distracts them in other parts of their life. When this happens, they become uninterested in new events or become annoyed by their colleagues or things that happen at work. At the same time, I’ve also seen other friends go out of their way to help someone on their team or to help out on a project that had very little—or even nothing—to do with their main work. Although it seems like they won’t receive anything in return, my friends benefit from these interactions. My friends have told me about the stronger relationships they’ve built at work and the fun they’ve had working on new and interesting projects. They’ve told me about how the people they helped before have returned the favor later on. Not only that, but they have even talked about times where their boss recognized them for their work or when they were informed in advance about upcoming projects. We often think that when we help someone else, we aren’t doing anything for ourselves. But we actually often end up getting back just as much as we give. When we step in to help someone, we often turn out to be helping ourselves, as well. 36. The author’s friends have built strong relationships through________. A．gossiping B．working C．helping others D．complaining 37. What we get back is _________what we give when we help others. A．more than B．less than C．as much as D．no more than 38. What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Helping others is not interesting. B．Helping others is helping yourself. C．Helping others has little benefits. D．Don’t help others. 36. 答案：C 解析：文中提到“Although it seems like they won’t receive anything in return, my friends benefit from these interactions. My friends have told me about the stronger relationships they’ve built at work and the fun they’ve had working on new and interesting projects.”（尽管看起来他们不会得到任何回报，但我的朋友们从这些互动中受益。我的朋友们跟我讲过他们在工作中建立起的更牢固的关系以及参与新奇有趣项目时的乐趣），而这里的“interactions”指的就是前文提到的去帮助团队里的人或者参与与本职工作关联不大的项目等帮助他人的行为，所以是通过帮助他人建立起了牢固的关系，选C。A选项“gossiping”（闲聊、八卦）、D选项“complaining”（抱怨）都不符合能建立良好关系的描述；B选项“working”（工作）范围太宽泛，没有体现出是通过帮助他人这一关键行为来建立关系，所以不选。 37. 答案：C 解析：文章最后一段明确指出“We often think that when we help someone else, we aren’t doing anything for ourselves. But we actually often end up getting back just as much as we give.”（我们常常认为当我们帮助别人时，我们并没有为自己做任何事。但实际上我们最终往往得到的和我们付出的一样多），所以选C。A选项“more than”（多于）、B选项“less than”（少于）、D选项“no more than”（仅仅；只是）都不符合原文表达的意思。 38. 答案：B 解析：文章开篇指出做志愿服务帮助他人其实自己也会受益，接着通过作者朋友的不同行为及结果对比，有的陷入抱怨的不良状态，而有的通过帮助他人收获了良好的人际关系、工作上的认可等好处，最后再次强调帮助别人其实也是在帮助自己，整体都在传达“帮助他人就是帮助自己”这一主旨，所以选B。A选项“帮助他人没趣”与原文表达的帮助他人有诸多好处相悖；C选项“帮助他人没什么益处”不符合文意，文章重点在说帮助他人是有益的；D选项“不要帮助他人”也与文章所倡导的内容相反，所以都不选。 B Do you want to be a volunteer? Maybe you need some ideas. Here is some advice. Help kids learn and grow. Be a big brother or sister at an after-school care center. You can help little kids to learn or play with them. Give back during the holidays. Serve dinner for the homeless, volunteer at an old people’s home, or give out toys to kids. Help at an animal shelter (庇护所). Most shelters depend on (依靠) volunteers to keep the cats and dogs happy and take them to exercise. And when you’re walking dogs, you get some exercise, too. Protect the environment. Take part in a park clean-up day. Plant a tree. Join a group to work together to protect a river. Help sick people. Helping others can make you feel good. When you cheer sick people up, you also feel happy. If you have several hobbies, find a way to do them all. For example, if you love kids and are good at painting and dancing, visit a children’s hospital and teach them these interesting things. 39. What can a volunteer do at an animal shelter? A．Feed animals. B．Help animals do exercise. C．Clean the shelter. D．Make workers there happy. 40. Which is NOT mentioned (提到) as a way to protect the environment? A．Planting trees. B．Protecting rivers. C．Setting up a green club. D．Cleaning up the park. 41. What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Who can be a volunteer? B．The reasons of being a volunteer. C．The time of being a volunteer. D．Ways of being a volunteer. 42. What can we learn from the passage? A．Volunteers can feel good when they help sick people. B．Volunteering at a children’s hospital is meaningless. C．An after-school care center is a place for homeless kids. D．The old people’s home needs more volunteers than the children’s hospital. 39. 答案：B 解析：文中提到“Help at an animal shelter (庇护所). Most shelters depend on (依靠) volunteers to keep the cats and dogs happy and take them to exercise.”（在动物庇护所帮忙。大多数庇护所依靠志愿者让猫狗开心并带它们去锻炼），所以志愿者在动物庇护所可以帮助动物做锻炼，选B。A选项“Feed animals”（喂养动物）文中未明确提及志愿者在庇护所的此项工作；C选项“Clean the shelter”（打扫庇护所）也没有在对应部分提到；D选项“Make workers there happy”（让那里的工作人员开心）不符合原文描述志愿者在动物庇护所做的事，所以都不选。 40. 答案：C 解析：文中在“Protect the environment”部分提到“Take part in a park clean-up day. Plant a tree. Join a group to work together to protect a river.”（参加公园清洁日活动、种树、加入一个团队共同保护河流），而“Setting up a green club”（建立一个绿色俱乐部）并没有在提到的保护环境的方式中出现，所以选C。 41. 答案：D 解析：文章开头提出“Do you want to be a volunteer? Maybe you need some ideas. Here is some advice.”（你想成为一名志愿者吗？也许你需要一些想法，这里有一些建议），接着分别从帮助孩子学习成长、在节假日做志愿服务、在动物庇护所帮忙、保护环境、帮助病人等多个方面给出了成为志愿者可以去做的事情，也就是介绍了成为志愿者的途径，所以文章主要思想是成为志愿者的方式，选D。A选项“Who can be a volunteer?”（谁能成为志愿者）文章未着重讲述；B选项“The reasons of being a volunteer.”（成为志愿者的原因）文中虽有体现帮助他人能让自己感觉好等益处，但重点不是说原因；C选项“The time of being a volunteer.”（成为志愿者的时间）也不是文章主要阐述内容，所以都不选。 42. 答案：A 解析：文中提到“Help sick people. Helping others can make you feel good. When you cheer sick people up, you also feel happy.”（帮助病人，帮助别人能让你感觉良好，当你让病人振作起来时，你也会感到开心），说明志愿者帮助病人时能感觉良好，A选项符合文意。B选项“Volunteering at a children’s hospital is meaningless.”（在儿童医院做志愿者是没有意义的）与原文中提到去儿童医院教孩子们有趣的东西等有意义的志愿服务内容相悖；C选项“An after-school care center is a place for homeless kids.”（课后托管中心是无家可归孩子待的地方）文中只是说可以在课后托管中心帮助小孩子学习、玩耍，没说那是无家可归孩子待的地方；D选项“The old people’s home needs more volunteers than the children’s hospital.”（养老院比儿童医院更需要志愿者）文章并没有对两者所需志愿者数量进行比较，所以B、C、D选项都不符合文意，不选。 C Terry Fox was only seventeen when he got cancer (癌症) . He must have felt hopeless when the doctor said his right leg would have to be cut off 6 inches (英寸) above the knee. But to everyone’s surprise, Terry Fox made up his mind to become a long-distance (长距离的) runner and do something about the cancer. What a dream! Although it seemed impossible, Terry decided to run across the whole country. He hoped to raise one million dollars for cancer research. Few people believed he would make it. Anyway, on April 12, 1980, Terry Fox began his Marathon of Hope. For the first few days of his marathon, Terry Fox was alone. He started running at 4: 30 am. Day by day, people began to realize that something big was happening on the lonely road. As people saw Terry, they stopped and donated (捐赠) money for cancer research. However, his health took a rapid turn for the worse several months later. He had to give up his marathon on September 1, 1980. Terry died three months later, at the age of 22. In his short life, he raised $24 million for cancer research—one dollar for each person in his motherland. Since his death, the yearly Terry Fox Run, first held in 1981, has grown to be the world’s largest one—day fundraiser (募捐活动) for cancer research. 43. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean? A．The dream was very strange. B．It was such a silly dream. C．The dream was easy to achieve. D．It was almost an impossible dream. 44. How much money did Terry raise for cancer research in his short life? A．$2.4 million. B．$24 billion. C．$24 million. D．$2.4 billion. 45. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage? A．To tell us when Terry Fox Run was first held. B．To tell us not to give up when facing difficulties. C．To advise us to donate money for cancer research. D．To call on us to take part in Marathon of Hope. 43. 答案：D 解析：文中提到特里·福克斯（Terry Fox）被医生告知要截掉右腿膝盖上方6英寸的部分，在这种情况下他却决心成为一名长跑运动员并且为癌症做些事情，“What a dream!”这句话在此语境下表达的是这个梦想在常人看来几乎是不可能实现的，因为他身体遭受了这么严重的创伤却要去进行长距离跑步，所以选D。A选项“这个梦想很奇怪”，重点并非强调奇怪；B选项“这是个很愚蠢的梦想”，文中没有体现出愚蠢之意；C选项“这个梦想很容易实现”与原文表达的意思相悖，所以都不选。 44. 答案：C 解析：文中明确指出“In his short life, he raised $24 million for cancer research—one dollar for each person in his motherland.”（在他短暂的生命里，他为癌症研究筹集了2400万美元——相当于他祖国每人一美元），所以选C。A选项“240万美元”、B选项“240亿美元”、D选项“24亿美元”都不符合原文所提到的金额，所以不选。 45. 答案：B 解析：文章主要讲述了特里·福克斯（Terry Fox）在身患癌症且右腿被截肢的艰难情况下，依然下定决心要进行长距离跑步为癌症研究筹集资金，尽管后来因健康恶化没能完成马拉松，但他的行为却引发了后续大规模的募捐活动，作者通过讲述他的事迹，意在向读者传达面对困难时不要轻易放弃的精神，所以选B。A选项“告诉我们特里·福克斯跑步活动首次举办的时间”只是文章的一个细节信息，并非写作目的；C选项“建议我们为癌症研究捐款”文章重点不是在呼吁捐款这个行为本身；D选项“号召我们参加希望马拉松”也不是主要的写作意图，所以都不选。 D Knowing about yourself means not only that you find out what you’re good at and what you like, it also means discovering what you’re not good at and what you don’t like. Both help you to see your aim(目标)in life. Although most students would be unhappy if they found that they had failed a very difficult physics course, they have in fact learned a lot about themselves. They know that they should not become engineers or physical scientists. .If he or she draws something out of the failing. They may then decide on their aim and choose the kind of work they would be fit for and they would like to do. It is impossible to decide whether or not you like something until you have tried it. If you decide that you would like to play the piano, you need to take more than one lesson before you can know whether you are really interested in it or you are able to do well. It is not enough to want to be a great pianist. You also have to like the hard practice and long training before you become one. If you would enjoy being a great pianist but hate the work, forget it. It’s a good plan to try as many ideas as possible when you are still young. And then you will be able to find out what your true interests are. 46. If you say you really know yourself,________. A．you know what you are good at B．you have got the whole picture of yourself C．you keep in mind your aim in life D．you have less you don’t like than what you like 47. Failing can turn into something good________. A．if you have aim in life and get the job you wish to have B．if you lead a happier life C．if your decision is right D．if you learn something from it 48. The example of “playing the piano” in Paragraph 3 and 4 implies(意味)that________. A．if you don’t like music,don’t practice the piano B．it takes more than one lesson to learn to play the piano C．you can decide only after you have tried D．you can become a great pianist only after hard and long training 49. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A．You have enough time before you come to a wise decision. B．The more experiences you have,the better decision you will make. C．Test ideas,compare and then decide. D．People always make hasty(匆匆的)decisions. 46. 答案：B 解析：文章开头指出“Knowing about yourself means not only that you find out what you’re good at and what you like, it also means discovering what you’re not good at and what you don’t like.”（了解自己不仅意味着弄清楚自己擅长什么、喜欢什么，还意味着发现自己不擅长什么、不喜欢什么），也就是全面地了解自己，所以说如果真的了解自己，就是对自己有一个全面的认识，选B。A选项只提到了擅长的方面，不全面；C选项文中说了解自己的这些情况有助于看清人生目标，但这不是了解自己本身的含义；D选项关于喜欢和不喜欢的比较不是了解自己的关键所在，所以都不选。 47. 答案：D 解析：文中提到“If he or she draws something out of the failing. They may then decide on their aim and choose the kind of work they would be fit for and they would like to do.”（如果他或她能从失败中有所收获，那么他们就可以确定自己的目标，选择适合自己且愿意做的工作），说明失败能变成好事的前提是能从失败中学到东西，所以选D。A选项有人生目标并得到想要的工作不是失败变好的关键原因；B选项过上更幸福的生活与失败变好的关联不大；C选项决定正确与否不是此处重点强调的让失败转化的因素，所以都不选。 48. 答案：C 解析：第三、四段以弹钢琴为例，先是说“ It is impossible to decide whether or not you like something until you have tried it.”（在你尝试之前，不可能决定你是否喜欢某样东西），接着围绕弹钢琴进一步阐述只有试过之后才能知道自己是否真的感兴趣、是否能做好等，所以这个例子意味着只有尝试过后才能做决定，选C。A选项不喜欢音乐就不练钢琴不是例子要表达的核心意思；B选项学弹钢琴需要不止一节课只是描述中的一个点，不是主要寓意；D选项经过艰苦漫长的训练才能成为伟大的钢琴家也不是重点要体现的内容，所以都不选。 49. 答案：D 解析：文章最后提到“It’s a good plan to try as many ideas as possible when you are still young. And then you will be able to find out what your true interests are.”（在你还年轻的时候，尝试尽可能多的想法是个好计划，然后你就能发现自己真正的兴趣所在），这体现了要多经历、多尝试、多比较后再做决定，要有足够时间来做明智的决定，A、B、C选项都符合文章传达的这种理念。而D选项“People always make hasty(匆匆的)decisions.”（人们总是匆匆做决定）与文章倡导的谨慎做决定、多尝试后再决定的意思相悖，所以该选项不符合文章内容，选D。 E Children always did not do what their parents wanted them to do. They did the things in their own ways. But they always made their parents very happy. Old Mr. Brown had a little son named Tom. He was ten years old. He was very glad when his father wanted him to buy something for him. One day at five o’clock in the afternoon, Mr. Brown gave him two dollars and let him buy some stamps(邮票) in the post office. Tom was very excited, because for a long time he did not have so much money. Mr. Brown told him clearly where the post office was. He expected that he would come back in twenty minutes. But nearly two hours passed, Tom did not come back. Mr. Brown was surprised. “He lost his way?” he thought to himself. At seven in the evening, Tom came back with a box. He was very tired. When he saw his father, he said happily, “Daddy, I used all of your money to buy a box of chocolate. It was very sweet(甜的), but didn’t you think a box of chocolate was quite heavy for a little boy?” 50. Why was Tom glad when his father gave him two dollars? A．Because his father wanted him to buy some stamps. B．Because his father wanted him to buy a box of chocolate with the money. C．Because he didn’t have so much money for a long time. D．Because the money would not his. 51. It took Tom ______ to buy the “stamps”. A．two hours B．three hours C．six hours D．over seven hours 52. Which of the following is TRUE? A．The post office was very far from Mr. Brown’s house. B．Tom spent all the money. C．Tom often went to the post office to buy stamps. D．Tom’s father was very angry when Tom got home. 50. 答案：C 解析：文中提到“Tom was very excited, because for a long time he did not have so much money.”，说明汤姆高兴的原因是他已经很久没有这么多钱了，所以当爸爸给他两美元时他很兴奋，选C。A选项爸爸让他去买邮票不是他高兴的直接原因；B选项爸爸原本是让他买邮票，而不是用这钱买巧克力让他高兴的；D选项不符合文意，这笔钱是爸爸给他去买东西用的，所以A、B、D选项都不选。 51. 答案：A 解析：文中提到“One day at five o’clock in the afternoon, Mr. Brown gave him two dollars and let him buy some stamps(邮票) in the post office.”以及“At seven in the evening, Tom came back with a box.”，下午五点爸爸让他去买邮票，晚上七点他才回来，所以一共花费了两个小时，选A。B、C、D选项计算的时间都不符合原文描述，所以不选。 52. 答案：B 解析：根据文中汤姆说的话“Daddy, I used all of your money to buy a box of chocolate.”可知汤姆把所有的钱都用来买巧克力了，所以B选项正确。A选项文中没有体现出邮局离布朗先生家很远；C选项从汤姆连邮局在哪都没按要求找到可知他不常去邮局买邮票；D选项文中并没有提到汤姆回家后爸爸很生气，只说爸爸很惊讶，所以A、C、D选项不符合文意，不选。 第二节 阅读下面短文, 并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）.  F A poor boy sat on the road with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said, “I am blind. Please help.” But there were few coins in the hat. A man walked by. He took the sign, turned it back, and wrote some words. Then he gave the sign back to the boy. Soon the hat began to fill up. More people gave money to the blind boy. The hat was almost filled with money in the morning. That afternoon the man came again. The boy said, “Thanks a lot, sir. But what did you write?” The man replied, “I said what you said, but in a different way. I wrote, ‘Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it.’” Both signs said that the boy was blind. But the second one told people that they were so lucky that they were not blind. It made people stay in a good mood(心情). So try to be creative and think differently, and you may be on your way to success. 53. What did the man do to help the blind boy?(不超过5个词) ________________________________________________ 54. How did people feel when they saw the second sign?(不超过5个词) ________________________________________________ 55. What can we learn from the story?(不超过15个词) ________________________________________________ 53. Rewrote the sign. 解析：文中提到男子拿走牌子，在上面写了些字后又把牌子还给了男孩，也就是重写了牌子上的内容来帮助男孩，按照字数要求进行概括得出此答案。 54. In a good mood. 解析：根据文中“But the second one told people that they were so lucky that they were not blind. It made people stay in a good mood(心情).”可知人们看到第二个牌子后心情很好，按字数要求提炼答案即可。 55. Be creative and think differently. 解析：文章最后“So try to be creative and think differently, and you may be on your way to success.”点明了从这个故事中我们能学到的道理就是要有创意，换个角度思考问题，根据字数限制概括得出答案。 第三部分 写（共两大题, 满分25分） 五、单词拼写（共5小题; 每小题1分, 满分5分） 根据首字母及汉语提示, 完成下列单词的拼写, 使句意明确, 语言通顺. 56.

They bring warmth and hope to those in need and also enable volunteers to gain growth and happiness. In my opinion, volunteer activities have many meanings. Firstly, they can help others solve difficulties and improve their living conditions. Secondly, they enhance our sense of social responsibility and contribute to the harmonious development of the community. Moreover, through these activities, we can improve our abilities, such as communication and teamwork skills. Last weekend, I had a wonderful volunteer experience. I went to the local orphanage with my classmates. We took some books, toys and daily necessities to the children there. We played games, told stories and helped them with their homework. The smiles on the children's faces made me feel extremely happy and satisfied. I realized that my small actions could have a great impact on others. Therefore, I decided to participate in more volunteer activities in the future. In conclusion, volunteer activities are really meaningful and I will keep on doing them to make a difference. 1 / 14 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
