It was on my 14th birthday that my mother told me to join a volunteer service (志愿服务). Mum was happy, but for me, it was going to be a journey full of uncertainty.
I remember the day I first went to a community (社区) food bank. I was nervous, holding a box of canned food, not sure if I was doing it right. Everyone was busy and I felt like I was over my head. But I remembered my mum always said, “Jack, jump in with both feet,” so that was what I did.
The first few weeks were difficult. I had to learn how to sort donations (捐赠品), put food boxes, and most challenging, talk to the people who needed our help. Sometimes, I wanted to give up. But then I’d see the happiness in someone’s eyes when they received a box of food and I knew I had to keep going.
One day, I met Ms. Jenkins, a sweet old lady who came every week. She taught me how to make the best chocolate chip cookies and we’d chat when I worked. She became like a grandma to me and her stories made me realize (意识到) that everyone had a story worth (值得的) hearing.
The real test came when we had to organize (组织) a big dinner for the community. I was in charge of (负责) decoration, which was way out of my comfort zone. But I asked my friends and together, we turned the hall into a beautiful place. Seeing the smiles on people’s faces as they enjoyed the meal we prepared was the best feeling ever.
Volunteering has taught me that growing up isn’t just about getting taller or having a driver’s license. It’s about stepping up, even when you’re afraid. It’s about finding your voice and using it to make a difference. And I can’t wait to see where this journey will take me next.
24. How did Jack feel when he first went to the community food bank?
A. Nervous. B. Proud. C. Bored. D. Surprised.
25. What helped Jack keep going when he wanted to give up?
A. Learning to make chocolate cookies. B. Seeing happiness in people’s eyes.
C. Starting to talk with people. D. Organizing the big dinner.
26 What did Jack learn from his volunteer experience?
A. Volunteering is about having fun. B. Growing up means learning more skills.
C. Volunteering is a good way to make friends. D. Growing up means stepping up to realize self-worth.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了作者通过在社区食品银行做志愿者服务的经历,学会了面对挑战、克服困难,意识到成长意味着要努力实现自我价值。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据“I remember the day I first went to a community (社区) food bank. I was nervous”可知作者第一次去的时候很紧张。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据“But then I’d see the happiness in someone’s eyes when they received a box of food and I knew I had to keep going.”可知当别人收到一盒食物时,我看到了他们眼中的幸福,我知道我必须继续前进。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Volunteering has taught me that growing up isn’t just about getting taller or having a driver’s license. It’s about stepping up, even when you’re afraid. It’s about finding your voice and using it to make a difference”可知志愿工作教会了我,成长不仅仅是长高或有驾照,这是关于站起来,这是关于找到你的声音,并用它来改变,即成长意味着要努力实现自我价值。故选D。
C
Nowadays, hundreds of thousands of animals around the world are facing different kinds of threats (威胁). They are in danger and in need of protection and conservation efforts.
Among these threatened animals, one that needs special mention is the koala. It is close to being an endangered animal. Interestingly, the koala is partly to blame (承担责任) for its decline. Koalas are too stubborn (固执的) for their own good!
When you were younger, were you a picky eater? Did your parents have to ask you to eat things that were good for you? Hopefully you listened to what they taught you and ate your dinner.
Koalas are picky eaters. They live in tall eucalyptus (桉树) trees. Koalas eat the leaves of those trees. Since there are over 600 different kinds of eucalyptus trees, koalas should have no trouble finding food. But koalas are picky! They only want certain eucalyptus tree leaves to eat. Out of the 600 kinds of trees, koalas will only eat the leaves of about 120 kinds of eucalyptus trees. Some are even pickier than that. The koalas of a specific area will only eat about four or five kinds of eucalyptus leaves. They would rather starve (挨饿) than eat the other kinds. Now that’s stubborn!
At present, koalas also face many threats in the wild, from deforestation, drought, disease, habitat loss (丧失) to climate change. For example, the 2019-2020 Australian bushfire season was one of the most deadly wildfires ever experienced, leading to the big loss of the tree—hugging koalas. However, the biggest problem for koalas now is that the brush (灌木丛) land in Australia is being cut down. Towns and cities are pushing farther into the brush. Since many koalas live there, they are losing their tree homes and the tree leaves that feed them.
Today, scientists think that there are less than 100,000 koalas left in the wild. Luckily, governments have made laws (法律) to protect them. If we don’t act now, koalas on the east coast of Australia could disappear forever by 2050.
27. The word “decline” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A. movement B. drop C. appearance D. increase
28 What do you know about koalas from Paragraph 4?
A. Koalas have trouble finding eucalyptus leaves.
B. Koalas eat about 600 kinds of eucalyptus leaves.
C. Pickier koalas eat about four or five kinds of eucalyptus leaves.
D. Pickier koalas eat other kinds of eucalyptus leaves when hungry.
29. What is the main reason for koalas to be almost endangered?
A. Wildfires leads to the big loss of koalas. B. Human action causes homes and food loss.
C. Koalas only eat certain eucalyptus tree leaves. D. Governments don’t make laws to protect koalas.
【答案】27. B 28. C 29. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了考拉这种动物,介绍了它们的生活习性,以及目前面临的生存危机。
【27题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子“It is close to being an endangered animal. Interestingly, the koala is partly to blame for its decline.”可知,考拉接近成为一种濒危动物,有趣的是,考拉本身需要承担部分它数量减少的责任。因此可以推断出decline意为“减少”。故选B。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The koalas of a specific area will only eat about four or five kinds of eucalyptus leaves.”可知,更挑剔的考拉吃大约四种或五种桉树叶子。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“However, the biggest problem for koalas now is that the brush land in Australia is being cut down. Towns and cities are pushing farther into the brush. Since many koalas live there, they are losing their tree homes and the tree leaves that feed them.”可知,人类活动使考拉失去家园和食物,导致考拉数量减少。故选B。
D
Do you often have to try more than once before you fit a pair of shoes correctly into their box? How well can you catch a ball? Are you good at giving directions? All of these everyday activities need spatial thinking (空间思维). So, what is spatial thinking, and is it possible to become a good spatial thinker?
Spatial thinking allows us to control objects in our mind. When we imagine how to arrange (排列) our bedroom or find our way home, we are using spatial thinking. It is also important for learning maths. We use it to study and understand the relationships between shapes (形状), spaces and areas.
In fact, science shows that spatial ability plays an important part in many aspects of STEM learning. This connection makes sense. Just think about the skills needed for maths, physics and other STEM subjects. For example, the spatial layout of the periodic table (元素周期表) helps us to understand chemical relationships (化学关系). The good news is that spatial skills are not set in stone and can be improved.
One of the easiest ways is visualization. It means creating a mental picture of something in your mind. This has been connected to stronger science and math performance and can be improved through training. Younger children can practice visualization by imagining how to move jigsaw (拼图) pieces in their minds. Older children can use visualization when rearranging maths formulae (公式).
Small world play with dollhouses or toy farm sets, for example, can help children understand spatial scale (尺度) differences. Scientists have also found that using toys like building blocks (积木) is good for spatial skills.
As a final example, children who hear more spatial language may have stronger spatial skills. Words like “in”, “on” and “next to” help children understand the spatial relationships between objects. More difficult words include “parallel” and “separate”. Together with hand movements, they can help children learn difficult spatial concepts (概念).
Spatial abilities have a huge influence (影响) on how we get around in our day to day lives. What’s more, taking more chances to practice our spatial thinking might also improve our STEM learning. Let us make space to develop our spatial thinking!
30. You will most probably need spatial thinking when you ________.
A. study family relationships B. create a sad story in your mind
C. learn English by watching movies D. use a map to find the way to a museum
31. Why does the writer use the example in Paragraph 3?
A. To introduce STEM subjects. B. To describe some spatial skills.
C. To show the importance of spatial ability. D. To explain the relationships of chemicals.
32. What do you know about spatial thinking from the passage?
A. Imagining a picture in mind can improve spatial skills.
B. Moving bands may trouble children’s spatial thinking.
C. Hearing difficult words can help to learn spatial concepts.
D. Listing formulae helps understand spatial scale differences.
33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To show the influence of spatial skills. B. To advise people to train spatial thinking.
C. To discuss the advantages of spatial thinking. D. To compare different ways to improve spatial skills.
【答案】30. D 31. C 32. A 33. B
【解析】
【导语】本文围绕空间思维的重要性及其改善方式展开,并建议人们多练习空间思维。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Do you often have to try more than once before you fit a pair of shoes correctly into their box? How well can you catch a ball? Are you good at giving directions? All of these everyday activities need spatial thinking (空间思维).”可知,用地图找到去博物馆的路需要用到空间思维。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据“In fact, science shows that spatial ability plays an important part in many aspects of STEM learning”以及“For example, the spatial layout of the periodic table (元素周期表) helps us to understand chemical relationships (化学关系).”可知,作者通过举元素周期表作为例子说明空间能力的重要性,因此该段主要目的是说明空间能力的重要性,故选C。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据“One of the easiest ways is visualization. It means creating a mental picture of something in your mind.”可知,通过想象在头脑中创造图像能提高空间技能,故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,文章围绕空间思维的重要性及其改善方式展开,最后一段建议人们多练习空间思维。因此,文章主要目的是建议人们训练空间思维,故选B。

Get Lost in the Best Places
What’s your dream neighbourhood (街区) like? Recently, 40 communities have been chosen as the coolest neighbourhoods in the world in 2023. Time Out, the magazine that has been hosting this event for six years, considers factors (因素) like community projects (项目), green spaces and lively streets.
At the top of the list is Laureles from Colombia. There’s a famous street called La 70 where all the bars (酒吧) and restaurants turn into dance floors when the right music plays. It also has a big soccer field. You might think this community is quite noisy. But in fact, Laureles is known for being a relaxing neighbourhood. Outside of La 70, you can find peaceful parks, streets with lots of trees and many cafes. It has become a top choice for digital nomads (数字游民), who travel freely while working online on their computers.
If Laureles is a mix (混合体) of both noise and peace, then Sheung Wan in Hong Kong, China, is the perfect mix of the past and the present. Once known for its funeral (丧葬) services, Sheung Wan has become an exciting place. You’ll find old temples (寺庙), antique (古董) stores and dried seafood shops there. And right beside them, there are cool art canters, Melbourne—style cafes and stores for designer clothes. Here, you’ll see citywalkers hanging out with their pets in cafes, and older people visiting cheap markets.
As seen in Laureles and Sheung Wan, our communities are becoming more global (全球化的) than ever. The pandemic (流行病) has changed our lives, leading to the rise of digital nomadism. As a result, there’s a rise in multicultural centres, new community spaces and cafes. With all these changes, our neighbourhoods still feel like home because places like old farmers’ markets and stores stay. Looking ahead, we expect even more exciting neighbourhoods!
34. What factors does Time Out consider when choosing the coolest neighbourhoods?
__________________________________
35. What can people find outside of La 70?
__________________________________
36. Why do our neighbourhoods still feel like home with the changes?

36. Because places like old farmers’ markets and stores remain.
37. I would like to live in Laureles. First, it provides a good balance between noise and peace, making it relaxing. Second, it’s a top choice for digital nomads, offering convenience for people who work online.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了全世界最酷的40个社区中的两个社区。
【34题详解】
根据“considers factors (因素) like community projects (项目), green spaces and lively streets.”可知,评选最酷街区时,会考虑社区项目、绿色空间和活力街道等因素。故填Community projects, green spaces and lively streets.
【35题详解】
根据“Outside of La 70, you can find peaceful parks, streets with lots of trees and many cafes.”可知,在La 70的外面,人们可以发现宁静的公园、有许多树的街道以及许多咖啡馆。故填Peaceful parks, streets with lots of trees and many cafes.
【36题详解】
根据“With all these changes, our neighbourhoods still feel like home because places like old farmers’ markets and stores stay.”可知,由于传统的集市和商店依然存在,所以我们的社区尽管发生了变化,但仍然有家的感觉。故填Because places like old farmers’ markets and stores remain.
【37题详解】
开放性问题,言之有理即可。参考答案为:I would like to live in Laureles. First, it provides a good balance between noise and peace, making it relaxing. Second, it’s a top choice for digital nomads, offering convenience for people who work online.

【答案】例文
Dear Peter,
I’m so glad to hear that you’re coming to visit Beijing this winter vacation.
The weather in Beijing during winter is quite cold. It’s important to pack warm clothing, such as a heavy coat, gloves, and a hat. For your visit, I highly recommend you experience some of Beijing’s most famous cultural sites. The Palace Museum is a must-see. It was the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties and offers a glimpse into China’s rich history. You can take the subway to get there, which is convenient. You can also go to the Summer Palace. It is famous for its royal gardens. There you can see lots of ancient buildings and go boating on Kunming Lake. You can take a bus to get there.
I hope these suggestions can help you. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Yours,
Li Hua

It was on my 14th birthday that my mother told me to join a volunteer service (志愿服务). Mum was happy, but for me, it was going to be a journey full of uncertainty.
I remember the day I first went to a community (社区) food bank. I was nervous, holding a box of canned food, not sure if I was doing it right. Everyone was busy and I felt like I was over my head. But I remembered my mum always said, “Jack, jump in with both feet,” so that was what I did.
The first few weeks were difficult. I had to learn how to sort donations (捐赠品), put food boxes, and most challenging, talk to the people who needed our help. Sometimes, I wanted to give up. But then I’d see the happiness in someone’s eyes when they received a box of food and I knew I had to keep going.
One day, I met Ms. Jenkins, a sweet old lady who came every week. She taught me how to make the best chocolate chip cookies and we’d chat when I worked. She became like a grandma to me and her stories made me realize (意识到) that everyone had a story worth (值得的) hearing.
The real test came when we had to organize (组织) a big dinner for the community. I was in charge of (负责) decoration, which was way out of my comfort zone. But I asked my friends and together, we turned the hall into a beautiful place. Seeing the smiles on people’s faces as they enjoyed the meal we prepared was the best feeling ever.
Volunteering has taught me that growing up isn’t just about getting taller or having a driver’s license. It’s about stepping up, even when you’re afraid. It’s about finding your voice and using it to make a difference. And I can’t wait to see where this journey will take me next.
24. How did Jack feel when he first went to the community food bank?
A. Nervous. B. Proud. C. Bored. D. Surprised.
25. What helped Jack keep going when he wanted to give up?
A. Learning to make chocolate cookies. B. Seeing happiness in people’s eyes.
C. Starting to talk with people. D. Organizing the big dinner.
26. What did Jack learn from his volunteer experience?
A. Volunteering is about having fun. B. Growing up means learning more skills.
C. Volunteering is a good way to make friends. D. Growing up means stepping up to realize self-worth.
C
Nowadays, hundreds of thousands of animals around the world are facing different kinds of threats (威胁). They are in danger and in need of protection and conservation efforts.
Among these threatened animals, one that needs special mention is the koala. It is close to being an endangered animal. Interestingly, the koala is partly to blame (承担责任) for its decline. Koalas are too stubborn (固执的) for their own good!
When you were younger, were you a picky eater? Did your parents have to ask you to eat things that were good for you? Hopefully you listened to what they taught you and ate your dinner.
Koalas are picky eaters. They live in tall eucalyptus (桉树) trees. Koalas eat the leaves of those trees. Since there are over 600 different kinds of eucalyptus trees, koalas should have no trouble finding food. But koalas are picky! They only want certain eucalyptus tree leaves to eat. Out of the 600 kinds of trees, koalas will only eat the leaves of about 120 kinds of eucalyptus trees. Some are even pickier than that. The koalas of a specific area will only eat about four or five kinds of eucalyptus leaves. They would rather starve (挨饿) than eat the other kinds. Now that’s stubborn!
At present, koalas also face many threats in the wild, from deforestation, drought, disease, habitat loss (丧失) to climate change. For example, the 2019-2020 Australian bushfire season was one of the most deadly wildfires ever experienced, leading to the big loss of the tree—hugging koalas. However, the biggest problem for koalas now is that the brush (灌木丛) land in Australia is being cut down. Towns and cities are pushing farther into the brush. Since many koalas live there, they are losing their tree homes and the tree leaves that feed them.
Today, scientists think that there are less than 100,000 koalas left in the wild. Luckily, governments have made laws (法律) to protect them. If we don’t act now, koalas on the east coast of Australia could disappear forever by 2050.
27. The word “decline” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A. movement B. drop C. appearance D. increase
28. What do you know about koalas from Paragraph 4?
A. Koalas have trouble finding eucalyptus leaves.
B. Koalas eat about 600 kinds of eucalyptus leaves.
C. Pickier koalas eat about four or five kinds of eucalyptus leaves.
D. Pickier koalas eat other kinds of eucalyptus leaves when hungry.
29. What is the main reason for koalas to be almost endangered?
A. Wildfires leads to the big loss of koalas. B. Human action causes homes and food loss.
C. Koalas only eat certain eucalyptus tree leaves. D. Governments don’t make laws to protect koalas.

Do you often have to try more than once before you fit a pair of shoes correctly into their box? How well can you catch a ball? Are you good at giving directions? All of these everyday activities need spatial thinking (空间思维). So, what is spatial thinking, and is it possible to become a good spatial thinker?
Spatial thinking allows us to control objects in our mind. When we imagine how to arrange (排列) our bedroom or find our way home, we are using spatial thinking. It is also important for learning maths. We use it to study and understand the relationships between shapes (形状), spaces and areas.
In fact, science shows that spatial ability plays an important part in many aspects of STEM learning. This connection makes sense. Just think about the skills needed for maths, physics and other STEM subjects. For example, the spatial layout of the periodic table (元素周期表) helps us to understand chemical relationships (化学关系). The good news is that spatial skills are not set in stone and can be improved.
One of the easiest ways is visualization It means creating a mental picture of something in your mind. This has been connected to stronger science and math performance and can be improved through training. Younger children can practice visualization by imagining how to move jigsaw (拼图) pieces in their minds. Older children can use visualization when rearranging maths formulae (公式).
Small world play with dollhouses or toy farm sets, for example, can help children understand spatial scale (尺度) differences. Scientists have also found that using toys like building blocks (积木) is good for spatial skills.
As a final example, children who hear more spatial language may have stronger spatial skills. Words like “in”, “on” and “next to” help children understand the spatial relationships between objects. More difficult words include “parallel” and “separate”. Together with hand movements, they can help children learn difficult spatial concepts (概念).
Spatial abilities have a huge influence (影响) on how we get around in our day to day lives. What’s more, taking more chances to practice our spatial thinking might also improve our STEM learning. Let us make space to develop our spatial thinking!
30. You will most probably need spatial thinking when you ________.
A. study family relationships B. create a sad story in your mind
C. learn English by watching movies D. use a map to find the way to a museum
31. Why does the writer use the example in Paragraph 3?
A. To introduce STEM subjects. B. To describe some spatial skills.
C. To show the importance of spatial ability. D. To explain the relationships of chemicals.
32 What do you know about spatial thinking from the passage?
A. Imagining a picture in mind can improve spatial skills.
B. Moving bands may trouble children’s spatial thinking.
C. Hearing difficult words can help to learn spatial concepts.
D. Listing formulae helps understand spatial scale differences.
33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To show the influence of spatial skills. B. To advise people to train spatial thinking.
C. To discuss the advantages of spatial thinking. D. To compare different ways to improve spatial skills.

Get Lost in the Best Places
What’s your dream neighbourhood (街区) like? Recently, 40 communities have been chosen as the coolest neighbourhoods in the world in 2023. Time Out, the magazine that has been hosting this event for six years, considers factors (因素) like community projects (项目), green spaces and lively streets.
At the top of the list is Laureles from Colombia. There’s a famous street called La 70 where all the bars (酒吧) and restaurants turn into dance floors when the right music plays. It also has a big soccer field. You might think this community is quite noisy. But in fact, Laureles is known for being a relaxing neighbourhood. Outside of La 70, you can find peaceful parks, streets with lots of trees and many cafes. It has become a top choice for digital nomads (数字游民), who travel freely while working online on their computers.
If Laureles is a mix (混合体) of both noise and peace, then Sheung Wan in Hong Kong, China, is the perfect mix of the past and the present. Once known for its funeral (丧葬) services, Sheung Wan has become an exciting place. You’ll find old temples (寺庙), antique (古董) stores and dried seafood shops there. And right beside them, there are cool art canters, Melbourne—style cafes and stores for designer clothes. Here, you’ll see citywalkers hanging out with their pets in cafes, and older people visiting cheap markets.
As seen in Laureles and Sheung Wan, our communities are becoming more global (全球化的) than ever. The pandemic (流行病) has changed our lives, leading to the rise of digital nomadism. As a result, there’s a rise in multicultural centres, new community spaces and cafes. With all these changes, our neighbourhoods still feel like home because places like old farmers’ markets and stores stay. Looking ahead, we expect even more exciting neighbourhoods!
34. What factors does Time Out consider when choosing the coolest neighbourhoods?
__________________________________
35. What can people find outside of La 70?
__________________________________
36. Why do our neighbourhoods still feel like home with the changes?
