Help a local food bank Food banks always welcome donations and new volunteers. They provide perfect volunteering opportunities for those who are interested in helping the homeless. Your teen would be involved in anything, from preparing meals to working behind the scenes to repack donated food items, serving food, and carrying boxes. Help at a soup kitchen A soup kitchen is one of the places where the hungry can get free or affordable meals (usually soup and bread). Most soup kitchens run mainly on donations and the generosity of people. As a soup kitchen volunteer, your child may be made to clean the tables and plates, help distribute food, cook food, and more. Volunteer for Meals on Wheels By volunteering for Meals on Wheels, your teen will deliver nutritious meals to the elderly or the disabled. It’s perfect for teens who have just received their driving license and love any reason to get behind the wheel! They can make a huge impact in a short amount of time. Similarly, your teen can also volunteer in their kitchen and prepare meals for delivery. With a simple gesture, your teen can bring millions of smiles to people’s lives. Work with Habitat for Humanity Habitat for Humanity’s mission is to build or improve a place that someone could call home. Besides helping the community, your teen will learn valuable skills such as repairing, fundraising, painting, and building. You can sign them up for long-term projects or a one-time program. 1. What do a local food bank and a soup kitchen have in common? A. Their sources of food. B. Free meals for volunteers. C. The price of the food. D. Approachable locations. 2. Who would be the most suitable for Meals on Wheels? A. Lucy, who prefers cooking. B. Linda, who likes drawing. C. Jack, who is fond of driving. D. Peter, who is good at playing football. 3. Which would you choose if you want to learn some skills? A. A local food bank. B. A soup kitchen. C. Meals on Wheels. D. Habitat for Humanity. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个志愿者机会。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Food banks always welcome donations and new volunteers.(食物银行总是欢迎捐款和新的志愿者)”以及第三段“Most soup kitchens run mainly on donations and the generosity of people.(大多数施粥所主要依靠捐赠和人们的慷慨来运作)”可知，当地的食物银行和汤厨房的共同之处在于食物来源都是捐赠所得。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“It’s perfect for teens who have just received their driving license and love any reason to get behind the wheel!(它非常适合刚刚获得驾照并喜欢任何理由开车的青少年！)”可知，喜欢开车的杰克最适合送餐上门服务。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Besides helping the community, your teen will learn valuable skills such as repairing, fundraising, painting, and building.(除了帮助社区，你的孩子还会学到一些有价值的技能，比如修理、筹款、油漆和建筑)”可知，如果你想学习一些技能，应该选择Habitat for Humanity。故选D。 B My senior year at Westfield High School was supposed to be the best year of my life. Instead, it turned into a lesson about friendship that I would never forget. My best friend, Emily, and I had been inseparable since middle school. But as graduation approached, the stress of exams and college applications began to weigh heavily on us. Emily and I became distant. I focused on getting into a top university, while Emily was more interested in enjoying our last year together. Our different goals led to disagreements, and soon enough, we started to argue over the smallest things. One day, things reached a boiling point. We had a huge fight over a group project. Days turned into weeks, and our friendship seemed beyond repair. We avoided each other at school and stopped sitting together at lunch. Our friends tried to help, but neither of us was willing to make the first move. The silence between us was deafening, and I missed her more than I wanted to admit. It wasn’t until our English teacher assigned us to work together on a final presentation that we were forced to confront each other. At first, we worked in tense silence. But as we spent more time together, the ice began to melt. One evening, as we were finishing up our project, Emily broke the silence. “I miss you, ” she said softly. “I miss you, too, ” I admitted, feeling a lump in my throat. “I’m sorry for being so hard on you. I just wanted everything to be perfect.” “I’m sorry too,” Emily replied. “I should have been more understanding. We’re both stressed, but we shouldn’t let it ruin our friendship.” We hugged, and at that moment, it felt like a weight had been lifted off my mind. On the graduation day, we stood side by side, proud of what we had accomplished and grateful to each other. The experience made our bond stronger, and we knew that no matter where life took us, we would always be there for each other. 4. What caused the initial tension between the author and Emily? A. Conflicts over college applications. B. Differences in academic performances. C. Different focus about their final year. D. Varied approaches to their group project. 5. What made them restore their friendship? A. Their friends’ assistance. B. A school teacher’s criticism. C. Taking a timely break from the quarrel. D. Working on a school project together. 6. How did the author feel after making up with Emily? A. Annoyed. B. Relieved. C. Stressed. D. Excited. 7. Which of the following suits the story best? A. A friend is easier lost than found. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. True friendship can stand the test of disagreements. D. Friendship, once broken, will never be the same again. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和好朋友因为最后一年的关注点不同导致了关系紧张，最后通过一起完成学校项目修复了友谊的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Emily and I became distant. I focused on getting into a top university, while Emily was more interested in enjoying our last year together. Our different goals led to disagreements, and soon enough, we started to argue over the smallest things.(艾米丽和我变得疏远了我专注于进入一所顶尖大学，而艾米丽更感兴趣的是享受我们在一起的最后一年。我们不同的目标导致了分歧，很快，我们开始为最小的事情争吵起来)”可知，最后一年的关注点不同导致了作者和艾米丽之间最初的紧张关系。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“But as we spent more time together, the ice began to melt. One evening, as we were finishing up our project, Emily broke the silence.(但随着我们在一起的时间越来越长，冰开始融化。一天晚上，当我们正在完成我们的项目时，艾米丽打破了沉默)”可知，一起完成学校的项目使他们恢复了友谊。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“We hugged, and at that moment, it felt like a weight had been lifted off my mind.(我们拥抱在一起，就在那一刻，我感觉好像卸下了心头的重担)”可知，作者和Emily和好后感觉松了一口气。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The experience made our bond stronger, and we knew that no matter where life took us, we would always be there for each other.(这次经历使我们的关系更加紧密，我们知道，无论生活把我们带到哪里，我们都会永远在一起)”结合文章主要讲述了作者和好朋友因为最后一年的关注点不同导致了关系紧张，最后通过一起完成学校项目修复了友谊的故事。可知，真正的友谊能经受分歧的考验。故选C。 C It’s a common belief that people behave in a fixed way due to their personalities and attitudes. They recycle their garbage because they attach importance to the environment. They pay RMB 30for a tiny cup of tea because they favor expensive tea drinks. It’s certain that behavior comes from our inner character, but in many cases we also draw inferences about who we are, as shown by the social psychologist Daryl, by observing our own behavior. We can be strangers to ourselves. If we knew our own minds, why would we need to guess whether our neighbors are animal lovers from the way they treat them? If our minds were an open book, why would we like to categorize (分类) our colleagues based on how they mix with others? Moreover, we don’t just use our behavior to know one particular type of character. We infer characters that weren’t there before. Our behavior is often moulded by little pressure around us, which we fail to recognize. Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disagree if we didn’t. Maybe we buy teas to impress the people around us. We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner character. Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make, people become what they do, though it may not be in complete line with their true desires. Therefore, we should remember Kurt Maple’s advice: “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be. ” 8. What is the general belief about personalities and attitudes? A. They usually result from one’s habits. B. They can influence one’s surroundings. C. They will reflect one’s tastes. D. They can determine one’s behaviors. 9. Why does the author raise two questions in Paragraph 2? A. To present an argument. B. To show an experiment. C. To make a comparison. D. To promote a lifestyle. 10. What does the underlined word “moulded” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Shaped. B. Destroyed. C. Cheated. D. Confused. 11. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Our character is predetermined. B. We are what we do. C. Mind and act go hand in hand. D. Pressure is a good book. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，虽然人们普遍认为性格和态度决定着一个人的行为，但很多时候一个人的行为也能反应出其性格，外界的压力也会塑造我们的某些行为，因此作者提醒人们要谨慎对待外界的压力，小心做事。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“It’s a common belief that people behave in a fixed way due to their personalities and attitudes.(人们普遍认为，由于性格和态度的不同，人们的行为方式是固定的)”可知，人们普遍认为，人们的行为方式取决于他们的性格和态度，也就是说性格和态度决定了一个人的行为，故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It’s certain that behavior comes from our inner character, but in many cases we also draw inferences about who we are, as shown by the social psychologist Daryl, by observing our own behavior.(毫无疑问，行为来自我们的内在性格，但在很多情况下，我们也会通过观察自己的行为来推断自己是谁，正如社会心理学家达里尔所表明的那样)”提到在很多情况下，我们也会通过观察行为来确定性格，由此推知下文“If we knew our own minds, why would we need to guess whether our neighbors are animal lovers from the way they treat them? If our minds were an open book, why would we like to categorize (分类) our colleagues based on how they mix with others?(如果我们知道自己的想法，为什么我们还要从邻居对待动物的方式来猜测他们是否是动物爱好者呢？如果我们的思想是一本打开的书，为什么我们要根据同事与他人相处的方式来给他们分类呢？)”为上文观点提供论据，故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disagree if we didn’t. Maybe we buy teas to impress the people around us.(也许我们回收利用是因为如果我们不这样做，我们的妻子和邻居会不同意。也许我们买茶是为了给周围的人留下深刻印象)”可知，我们迫于一些压力而做出某些行为，故划线词所在句意为“我们的行为往往是由我们周围的小压力塑造的”，moulded意为“塑造”，故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第二段“It’s certain that behavior comes from our inner character, but in many cases we also draw inferences about who we are, as shown by the social psychologist Daryl, by observing our own behavior.(毫无疑问，行为来自我们的内在性格，但在很多情况下，我们也会通过观察自己的行为来推断自己是谁，正如社会心理学家达里尔所表明的那样)”和最后一段中“Therefore, we should remember Kurt Maple’s advice: “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”(因此，我们应该记住Kurt Maple的建议：“我们是我们假装的样子，所以我们必须小心我们假装的样子。”)”可知，本文主要讲述虽然人们普遍认为性格和态度决定着一个人的行为，但很多时候一个人的行为也能反应出其性格，外界的压力也会塑造我们的某些行为，因此作者提醒人们要谨慎对待外界的压力，小心做事。即文章的主旨是“我们的行为决定我们是谁”。故选B。 D Recently a new study found that elephants in central African forests can encourage the growth of slow-growing trees and increase the ability of the forest to store carbon. “As a tree, there’s a so-called balance that you can’t have it all,” explained Fabio Berzaghi, who led the study. Elephants prefer to eat fast-growing trees in more open spaces. As they feed and walk, they cause damage to these species, knocking over trees or breaking off branches, which results in an ecosystem that favors large, slow-growing hardwood trees. “As the elephants thin the forest, they increase the number of slow-growing trees and the forest is capable of storing more carbon,” said Stephen Blake, one of the paper’s authors. Scientists collected field measurements in the Congo Basin and used a computer model to predict how elephants would affect forest structure, and carbon storage potential in the long term. The data confirmed that when elephants are present, the forest contains larger trees and higher abundances of species with high wood density. On the contrary, should forest elephants go extinct, leaving those slow-growing trees struggling to compete with fast-growing species, it would result in a 7 percent loss of above-ground biomass (生物总量). As a result, central African forests could lose up to three billion tons of carbon, potentially accelerating climate change. The sad reality is that humans are doing their best to rid the planet of elephants. lain Douglas Hamilton, founder of Save the Elephants said, “It is shocking that just as we are beginning to understand how elephants might have a key role in Africa in storing carbon, they are under real threat of extinction.” One limitation of the study, Mr. Berzaghi said, is that we do not know how much carbon has already been lost because of the elephants’ decline. But it does seem certain, he added, that putting a stop to illegal hunting and restoring forest elephant populations would bring climate benefits. 12. What can we infer about slow-growing trees in Paragraph 2? A. They are elephants’ favorite food. B. They are easily hurt by elephants. C. They may reduce elephant populations. D. They can help forests store carbon. 13. What would happen without elephants living in central African forests? A. Larger trees would defeat fast-growing species. B. The forest structure would remain unchanged. C. The forests would lose more fast-growing trees. D. Climate change would possibly be sped up. 14. What did Mr. Berzaghi suggest people do? A. Lead a low-carbon life. B. Protect forest elephants. C. Stop destroying forests. D. Evaluate the carbon loss. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Elephants Defend Against Climate Change B Elephants Disappear in Parts of Africa C. Climate Change Affects Forest Structure D. Humans and Nature Live in Harmony 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍中非森林的大象可以提高森林储存碳的能力从而延缓气候变化的速度。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段末句““As the elephants thin the forest, they increase the number of slow-growing trees and the forest is capable of storing more carbon,” said Stephen Blake, one of the paper’s authors. (该论文的作者之一斯蒂芬·布莱克说：“随着大象使森林不再那么茂盛，它们增加了生长缓慢的树木的数量，森林能够储存更多的碳。”)”可知，生长缓慢的树木的数量越多，森林能够储存的碳越多。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“On the contrary, should forest elephants go extinct, leaving those slow-growing trees struggling to compete with fast-growing species, it would result in a 7 percent loss of above-ground biomass (生物总量). As a result, central African forests could lose up to three billion tons of carbon, potentially accelerating climate change. (相反，如果森林象灭绝，使那些生长缓慢的树木与生长迅速的物种竞争，将导致地上生物量损失7%。因此，中非森林可能会释放多达30亿吨的碳，这可能会加速气候变化。)”可知，如果森林象灭绝，生长缓慢的树木竞争力变弱，因此，中非森林可能会多释放多达30亿吨的碳，这可能会加速气候变化。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据末段末句“But it does seem certain, he added, that putting a stop to illegal hunting and restoring forest elephant populations would bring climate benefits. (但他补充说，似乎可以肯定的是，停止非法狩猎和恢复森林大象数量将带来气候效益。)”可知，Mr. Berzaghi建议人们保护森林象，停止非法狩猎。故选B。 【15题详解】 标题判断题。通读全文，尤其是首段“Recently a new study found that elephants in central African forests can encourage the growth of slow-growing trees and increase the ability of the forest to store carbon. (最近一项新的研究发现，中非森林中的大象可以促进生长缓慢的树木的生长，提高森林储存碳的能力。)”可知，本文主要介绍森林大象可以提高森林储存碳的能力从而延缓气候变化的速度。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many of us were raised in the idea of hard work and max effort, and taught that what we put in was what we got out. Now, some coaches and business leaders have a new message. ___16___ The trick is to try for 85% rather than perfection. Aiming for perfection often makes us feel awful, burns us out and backfires. The benefits of doing less Constant comparison often means no end result ever feels good enough. Even searching for, say, the best umbrella to buy can become a time-consuming problem. If you make a decision with only 85% of the information in hand, what’s the result? ___17___ Just tough enough ___18___ In a 2019 paper, researchers used machine learning to try to find the ideal difficulty level to learn new things. The neural network learned best when it was faced with questions set to 85% difficulty. If a task is too hard, humans get less motivated, says Bob Wilson. ___19___ “If you never make any errors, you’re 100% accurate, well, you can’t learn from the mistakes.” Know when to stop Grace Ueng, a leadership coach and strategy consultant, learned the “80-20 rule”. ___20___ She practiced for hours for her music group. Before a performance, she read a book and went to church instead of putting in extra hours at the piano. When it was time to perform, she played well, and actually enjoyed it. “You have to have the wisdom to know when to stop,” she says. A. Neither should it be too easy. B. Sometimes, the harder we try, the better we get. C. You will win back some time for other things. D. To be at your best, dial it back a bit. E. Difficulty standard set at 85% is the sweet spot for us to grow. F. The idea was to stop once you were 80% complete on a project. G. Then she started doing more targeted exercises. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. E 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出做到85%而非追求完美效果更佳，阐述了降低努力程度的好处，以及如何实施这种新想法。 【16题详解】 前文“Many of us were raised in the idea of hard work and max effort, and taught that what we put in was what we got out. Now, some coaches and business leaders have a new message. (我们中的许多人都是在努力工作和尽最大努力的观念中长大的，并被教导我们付出的就是我们得到的。现在，一些教练和商业领袖有了新的想法)”提到现在出现了有别于努力工作和尽最大努力观念的新想法，后文“The trick is to try for 85% rather than perfection. (诀窍在于努力做到85%而不是完美)”指出诀窍并非做到完美，空处应该是说明新想法，与不尽全力有关，因此D项“To be at your best, dial it back a bit. (为了达到最好的状态，你需要稍微克制一下)”符合语境，承前启后。故选D。 【17题详解】 前文“Even searching for, say, the best umbrella to buy can become a time-consuming problem. If you make a decision with only 85% of the information in hand, what’s the result? (即使是寻找最好的雨伞也会成为一个耗时的问题。如果你只掌握了85%的信息就做出了决定，结果会是什么)”提到追求最好会很耗时，提出用85%的信息做决定的结果的问题，空处作为段末句，应该是回答这个问题，指出积极的结果，因此C项“You will win back some time for other things. (你会为其他事情赢回一些时间)”符合语境，承接前文。故选C。 【18题详解】 标题“Just tough enough (刚刚够难)”表明本段建议设置的难度应刚刚好，后文“In a 2019 paper, researchers used machine learning to try to find the ideal difficulty level to learn new things. The neural network learned best when it was faced with questions set to 85% difficulty. (在2019年的一篇论文中，研究人员利用机器学习试图找到学习新事物的理想难度水平。当面对难度为85%的问题时，神经网络的学习效果最好)”指出研究表明85%的难度下，学习新事物的效果最佳，空处作为段首句，应该是点明85%这个难度标准，因此E项“Difficulty standard set at 85% is the sweet spot for us to grow. (难度标准设定在85%是我们发展的最佳点)”符合语境，呼应标题，后文的研究是对其支撑。故选E。 【19题详解】 前文“If a task is too hard, humans get less motivated, says Bob Wilson. (Bob Wilson说，如果一项任务太难，人们就会缺乏动力)”提到任务难度大会削弱动力，后文“If you never make any errors, you’re 100% accurate, well, you can’t learn from the mistakes. (如果你从不犯任何错误，你是100%准确的，那么，你无法从错误中吸取教训)”表明难度太低导致不犯错，不利于吸取教训，空处应该是起到过渡作用，说明任务也不能太容易，因此A项“Neither should it be too easy. (它也不应该太容易)”符合语境，承前启后，其中的it指代前文提到的a task。故选A。 【20题详解】 前文“Grace Ueng, a leadership coach and strategy consultant, learned the “80-20 rule”. (领导力教练和战略顾问Grace Ueng学会了“二八法则”)”提到“二八法则”这个概念，后文“She practiced for hours for her music group. (她为她的音乐团体练习了好几个小时)”描述Grace如何践行这个法则，空处应该是介绍“二八法则”概念的含义，因此F项“The idea was to stop once you were 80% complete on a project. (这个想法是当你完成一个项目的80%时就停止)”符合语境，承接前文，其中的The idea指代前文的80-20 rule。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Run by Mei Ling, Jasmine Serenity in the heart of a busy city was not just a place for drinking tea.

After school,they would catch fish or swim in it,adding color and fun to their life. When they were in middle school,however,they started to lose the eagerness to play in the river. The once crystal-clear water was now dirty and smelly with garbage such as bottles and plastic bags floating on its surface, and the fish that once swam lively here seemed to be gone.They really got upset about it. Nothing changed until one day Alex attended a lecture on protecting the earth from being polluted in the school. He was shocked to see the terrible pollution caused by human's activities and got to appreciate the importance of protecting the earth. After the lecture,Alex walked home with a heavy heart, concerned about the huge amount of annoying rubbish in the river.Suddenly an idea flashed across his mind. He rushed to Ben's home and couldn't wait to share it with Ben. Later,they went to the riverbank together. “Our river is sick,” said Alex in a worried tone, “We need to find a way to heal it.” “Yes,”said Ben in agreement. “It's our responsibility to protect the hometown river. What can we do?” Alex suggested eagerly, “We should clean up the garbage from the riverbanks at weekends.” Ben nodded thoughtfully and said, “That is a good idea. But it is impossible for only two of us to remove so much garbage. Besides, the villagers may throw garbage into the river again and again.” “You're right! Maybe we need more helpers and also need to educate more people about the importance of keeping our river clean and encourage them to make a change.” Finally,they both decided that something must be done before it was too late. Quickly Alex and Ben went home and began planning. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, they put up the posters in and around the village. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Quickly Alex and Ben went home and began planning. They decided to make posters to raise awareness among the villagers about the pollution of the River Jade. They spent hours designing and creating eye-catching posters that depicted the once beautiful river and the current sad state it was in. They also wrote down some practical suggestions on how to keep the river clean, such as not throwing garbage into it and regularly organizing clean-up activities. The next day, they put up the posters in and around the village. At first, not many people paid attention. But Alex and Ben didn't give up. They went from door to door, explaining to the villagers the importance of a clean river. Gradually, some villagers started to show interest and agreed to join their efforts. On the weekend, a group of villagers, young and old, gathered by the riverbank. Together, they spent the whole day cleaning up the garbage. As time went by, more and more villagers joined in. The River Jade gradually regained its former cleanliness and the fish came back. Alex and Ben's efforts had made a huge difference to their hometown. 【解析】 【导语】本文以环保为主题，围绕小镇中一条河流的污染与治理展开，讲述了两位好友Alex和Ben为拯救河流所做出的努力。 【详解】段落续写： 由第一段首句“Alex和Ben很快回家开始计划”可知，第一段可描写他们为治理河流污染所做的计划，如制作海报等。 由第二段首句“第二天，他们在村子里面和周围张贴海报”可知，第二段可描写张贴海报后的情况，如村民们的反应以及最终取得的成果。 续写线索：回家计划——制作海报——张贴海报——村民反应——村民参与——河流恢复 词汇激活 行为类 ①计划：plan/scheme 张贴：put up/stick 参与：join in/participate in 情绪类 担心：be worried/be concerned ②感兴趣：show interest/be keen on 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Here are a few volunteer opportunities that you could encourage your teen to take up. Help a local food bank Food banks always welcome donations and new volunteers. They provide perfect volunteering opportunities for those who are interested in helping the homeless. Your teen would be involved in anything, from preparing meals to working behind the scenes to repack donated food items, serving food, and carrying boxes. Help at a soup kitchen A soup kitchen is one of the places where the hungry can get free or affordable meals (usually soup and bread). Most soup kitchens run mainly on donations and the generosity of people. As a soup kitchen volunteer, your child may be made to clean the tables and plates, help distribute food, cook food, and more. Volunteer for Meals on Wheels By volunteering for Meals on Wheels, your teen will deliver nutritious meals to the elderly or the disabled. It’s perfect for teens who have just received their driving license and love any reason to get behind the wheel! They can make a huge impact in a short amount of time. Similarly, your teen can also volunteer in their kitchen and prepare meals for delivery. With a simple gesture, your teen can bring millions of smiles to people’s lives. Work with Habitat for Humanity Habitat for Humanity’s mission is to build or improve a place that someone could call home.

B My senior year at Westfield High School was supposed to be the best year of my life. Instead, it turned into a lesson about friendship that I would never forget. My best friend, Emily, and I had been inseparable since middle school. But as graduation approached, the stress of exams and college applications began to weigh heavily on us. Emily and I became distant. I focused on getting into a top university, while Emily was more interested in enjoying our last year together. Our different goals led to disagreements, and soon enough, we started to argue over the smallest things. One day, things reached a boiling point. We had a huge fight over a group project. Days turned into weeks, and our friendship seemed beyond repair. We avoided each other at school and stopped sitting together at lunch. Our friends tried to help, but neither of us was willing to make the first move. The silence between us was deafening, and I missed her more than I wanted to admit. It wasn’t until our English teacher assigned us to work together on a final presentation that we were forced to confront each other. At first, we worked in tense silence. But as we spent more time together, the ice began to melt. One evening, as we were finishing up our project, Emily broke the silence. “I miss you, ” she said softly. “I miss you, too, ” I admitted, feeling a lump in my throat. “I’m sorry for being so hard on you. I just wanted everything to be perfect.” “I’m sorry too,” Emily replied. “I should have been more understanding. We’re both stressed, but we shouldn’t let it ruin our friendship.” We hugged, and at that moment, it felt like a weight had been lifted off my mind. On the graduation day, we stood side by side, proud of what we had accomplished and grateful to each other. The experience made our bond stronger, and we knew that no matter where life took us, we would always be there for each other. 4 What caused the initial tension between the author and Emily? A. Conflicts over college applications. B. Differences in academic performances. C. Different focus about their final year. D. Varied approaches to their group project. 5. What made them restore their friendship? A. Their friends’ assistance. B. A school teacher’s criticism. C. Taking a timely break from the quarrel. D. Working on a school project together. 6. How did the author feel after making up with Emily? A. Annoyed. B. Relieved. C. Stressed. D. Excited. 7. Which of the following suits the story best? A. A friend is easier lost than found. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. True friendship can stand the test of disagreements. D. Friendship, once broken, will never be the same again. C It’s a common belief that people behave in a fixed way due to their personalities and attitudes. They recycle their garbage because they attach importance to the environment. They pay RMB 30for a tiny cup of tea because they favor expensive tea drinks. It’s certain that behavior comes from our inner character, but in many cases we also draw inferences about who we are, as shown by the social psychologist Daryl, by observing our own behavior. We can be strangers to ourselves. If we knew our own minds, why would we need to guess whether our neighbors are animal lovers from the way they treat them? If our minds were an open book, why would we like to categorize (分类) our colleagues based on how they mix with others? Moreover, we don’t just use our behavior to know one particular type of character. We infer characters that weren’t there before. Our behavior is often moulded by little pressure around us, which we fail to recognize. Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disagree if we didn’t. Maybe we buy teas to impress the people around us. We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner character. Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make, people become what they do, though it may not be in complete line with their true desires. Therefore, we should remember Kurt Maple’s advice: “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be. ” 8 What is the general belief about personalities and attitudes? A. They usually result from one’s habits. B. They can influence one’s surroundings. C. They will reflect one’s tastes. D. They can determine one’s behaviors. 9. Why does the author raise two questions in Paragraph 2? A. To present an argument. B. To show an experiment. C. To make a comparison. D. To promote a lifestyle. 10 What does the underlined word “moulded” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Shaped. B. Destroyed. C. Cheated. D. Confused. 11. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Our character is predetermined. B. We are what we do. C. Mind and act go hand in hand. D. Pressure is a good book. D Recently a new study found that elephants in central African forests can encourage the growth of slow-growing trees and increase the ability of the forest to store carbon. “As a tree, there’s a so-called balance that you can’t have it all,” explained Fabio Berzaghi, who led the study. Elephants prefer to eat fast-growing trees in more open spaces. As they feed and walk, they cause damage to these species, knocking over trees or breaking off branches, which results in an ecosystem that favors large, slow-growing hardwood trees. “As the elephants thin the forest, they increase the number of slow-growing trees and the forest is capable of storing more carbon,” said Stephen Blake, one of the paper’s authors. Scientists collected field measurements in the Congo Basin and used a computer model to predict how elephants would affect forest structure, and carbon storage potential in the long term. The data confirmed that when elephants are present, the forest contains larger trees and higher abundances of species with high wood density. On the contrary, should forest elephants go extinct, leaving those slow-growing trees struggling to compete with fast-growing species, it would result in a 7 percent loss of above-ground biomass (生物总量). As a result, central African forests could lose up to three billion tons of carbon, potentially accelerating climate change. The sad reality is that humans are doing their best to rid the planet of elephants. lain Douglas Hamilton, founder of Save the Elephants said, “It is shocking that just as we are beginning to understand how elephants might have a key role in Africa in storing carbon, they are under real threat of extinction.” One limitation of the study, Mr. Berzaghi said, is that we do not know how much carbon has already been lost because of the elephants’ decline. But it does seem certain, he added, that putting a stop to illegal hunting and restoring forest elephant populations would bring climate benefits. 12. What can we infer about slow-growing trees in Paragraph 2? A. They are elephants’ favorite food. B. They are easily hurt by elephants. C. They may reduce elephant populations. D. They can help forests store carbon. 13. What would happen without elephants living in central African forests? A. Larger trees would defeat fast-growing species. B. The forest structure would remain unchanged. C. The forests would lose more fast-growing trees. D. Climate change would possibly be sped up. 14. What did Mr. Berzaghi suggest people do? A. Lead a low-carbon life. B. Protect forest elephants. C. Stop destroying forests. D. Evaluate the carbon loss. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Elephants Defend Against Climate Change B. Elephants Disappear in Parts of Africa C. Climate Change Affects Forest Structure D. Humans and Nature Live in Harmony 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many of us were raised in the idea of hard work and max effort, and taught that what we put in was what we got out. Now, some coaches and business leaders have a new message. ___16___ The trick is to try for 85% rather than perfection. Aiming for perfection often makes us feel awful, burns us out and backfires. The benefits of doing less Constant comparison often means no end result ever feels good enough. Even searching for, say, the best umbrella to buy can become a time-consuming problem.

After school,they would catch fish or swim in it,adding color and fun to their life. When they were in middle school,however,they started to lose the eagerness to play in the river. The once crystal-clear water was now dirty and smelly with garbage such as bottles and plastic bags floating on its surface, and the fish that once swam lively here seemed to be gone.They really got upset about it. Nothing changed until one day Alex attended a lecture on protecting the earth from being polluted in the school. He was shocked to see the terrible pollution caused by human's activities and got to appreciate the importance of protecting the earth. After the lecture,Alex walked home with a heavy heart, concerned about the huge amount of annoying rubbish in the river.Suddenly an idea flashed across his mind. He rushed to Ben's home and couldn't wait to share it with Ben. Later,they went to the riverbank together. “Our river is sick,” said Alex in a worried tone, “We need to find a way to heal it.” “Yes,”said Ben in agreement. “It's our responsibility to protect the hometown river. What can we do?” Alex suggested eagerly, “We should clean up the garbage from the riverbanks at weekends.” Ben nodded thoughtfully and said, “That is a good idea. But it is impossible for only two of us to remove so much garbage. Besides, the villagers may throw garbage into the river again and again.” “You're right! Maybe we need more helpers and also need to educate more people about the importance of keeping our river clean and encourage them to make a change.” Finally,they both decided that something must be done before it was too late. Quickly Alex and Ben went home and began planning. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, they put up the posters in and around the village. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1-5 AACBC 6-10 BACCB 11-15 ACBAC 16-20 ABCBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
