One day Wesley Autrey and his two young daughters were waiting for the underground. Suddenly a young man near them became sick and fell onto the rails. Autrey immediately jumped down from the platform and tried to pull the man to a safe place. However, a train was coming, so there was no time to climb onto the platform. Autrey quickly pushed the young man down between the rails. The train passed over them and they were both fine. Altogether five underground trains ran past when they were lying between the rails. Finally the workers turned off the power and stopped the trains. What he did was then reported in many newspapers. People were moved by him. “I don’t feel like I did something special,” Autrey said when he talked about the accident. “I just saw someone who needed help. I did what I felt was right. I had to make a quick decision.” (11—15 FFTFT) D. W: I like doing special things for people ... like trying to find out what gift will make each person happy. M: Well, I don’t have the time or money to go to do so. W: Some of the best gifts actually cost nothing. M: What are you talking about? W: Things like cooking meals for someone, taking a friend shopping or writing someone a poem are all great gifts. M: You might be surprised. Besides, you really need to be a giver so that you can be more thankful. W: How so? M: Givers are happier; they’re more thankful for what they have, and they experience less disappointment. W: That would be nice. Well, those are good things, but I still say receiving is more important. M: You are right. In fact, sometimes the greatest gift we can give someone is to be thankful for the carefully chosen gift. So go and buy me a nice gift, and I promise to like it.

Usually he would practice his skills till sunset all by himself. But today was different. Today Alex met Leo. Alex’s mom said that a couple and their son from Columbia were moving in next door. It had been a week. But Alex hadn’t seen the boy yet. Alex crossed the yard and knocked confidently at the door and almost immediately Leo appeared. “Hi, my name is Alex,” Alex said, holding out his hand. Leo smiled shyly and shook Alex’s hand. “Leo...my name is Leo,” said the dark-haired boy quietly. “I haven’t seen you around school yet, have you started? Do you play any sports? How do you like the neighborhood? ...” Alex kept asking questions at the wide-eyed Leo. Shaking his head, Leo looked rather uncomfortable and uneasy. “Oh,” thought Alex, “he doesn’t understand me.” Alex presented his football to Leo and said, “Do you want to play?” He wished Leo would understand his action, if not his words. The smile on Leo’s face was the answer. “Great!” responded Alex. Next moment they were passing the ball back and forth. Leo played well and they just hit it off so great. Hours sped by, and Alex’s mom called out that dinner was ready. Alex stopped playing and pantomimed putting a fork to his mouth and eating. “It’s time for dinner,” he said regretfully. Leo grinned and repeated, “It’s time for dinner.” “Exactly,” said Alex, “Can we play again tomorrow after school?” Alex asked, not sure if Leo would understand. Yet he could tell Leo didn’t get him. Suddenly Alex got a great idea. He pulled the confused boy toward his house. There he started searching his bookshelf. Moments later, he found an orange book---a Spanish dictionary! He fingered the pages to look up the words for tomorrow, after and school. Then Alex looked directly at Leo, held up the football, and said mañana, despué de, and la escuela, not sure if what he said really translated into what he wanted. His face brightened as Leo smiled and eagerly nodded his head. “Mañana!” Alex repeated. “Mañana!” agreed Leo. ( ) 59. Alex knocked at Leo’s door today to ________.

As Christmas drew nearer, she kept thinking about how she would not make her daughter d 71 . Finally, Helen had thought of having Luna send a letter to Santa Claus (圣诞老人) by balloon, saying Santa would catch the balloon during his flight through the air on his sled (雪橇). Helen helped Luna write down all the things she dreamed---candies, a Spider-Man ball, a doll, etc., and then put the p 72 into a red balloon. It was a cold morning. As they released the wishes to the sky, Luna whispered, “Dear Santa, please do find and take my balloon with you soon, will you?” The thing was, Helen herself hadn’t expected anyone to find the balloon. After a simple Christmas, the calendar turned to another year. One day in January, a friend called Helen e 73 , “Log onto (登录) Facebook! Guess what? A man called Alvin found Luna’s balloon! He wants to send Luna gifts!” In surprise, Helen logged onto Facebook and then she saw Alvin had posted (发布) the pictures of Luna’s red balloon and note, asking about Luna. Thousands of people from all over the country reposted them. Some commented in Alvin’s page, “Back then we were just like Luna. We had also hoped in our childhood that magic Santa would show up in front of us and realize our dream after hearing our pray. Why don’t we just act as Santa o 74 this time and bring magic to little Luna? Alvin, please count us in!” Helen went over all the posts in tears. Loneliness and helplessness had tailed her all the way, but they were g 75 for the first time. A stream of warmth flowed inside her. Helen contacted Alvin who had gone all the way to find her family for the past one month and told Luna, “Santa d 76 your balloon by accident. But how lucky you are! One of his elves (精灵) found it and will help realize your dream!” Who could have ever imagined that a balloon would bring the s 77 this close? In April, Alvin headed to Helen. That morning, just as chilly as the day Luna released her balloon, in front of Helen’s house, Alvin and his wife got out of the car with a box full of gifts in their hands. Luna ran out to meet them happily. “Is this what you wanted for Christmas, Luna?” Helen asked. “Absolutely!” Luna exclaimed. 71. d 72. p 73. e 74. o 75. g 76. d 77. s D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分) Teenage Female Pilot Set Flying Record Recently the 19-year-old teenager Zara set the world record as the youngest woman to fly alone around the world. Zara took the Guinness World Record (吉尼斯世界纪录) from the 30-year-old American flyer Shaesta Waiz since 2017. The youngest male to fly alone is Travis Ludlow, who set that record at the age of 18. Zara started her trip around the world on August 18, 2021. It covered over 51,000 kilometers, including 52 countries and five continents. The flight was supposed to take three months. But she got stuck either in bad weather or because of visa delays, which made her finish her journey with two more months than she had planned. Of all things, Zara thought that physical tiredness and loneliness were the toughest part. They were definitely big challenges on such long-distance flights. The teenager said the last part of her trip, from Germany, had been extremely difficult. She had to deal with the endless rain and snow. But she was happy to be accompanied by the local Air Force team before landing. "The people were warm-hearted, everywhere," she recalled. Zara’s plane had been modified carefully for the journey. It normally has two seats, but an extra fuel container then took up one of them. That made Zara more confident when flying on her own. Zara has long cherished a love for the sky and has been traveling in small planes with her pilot parents since she was six. Zara dreams of being an astronaut. She believes her trip will inspire girls and young women to get into aviation (航空) and encourage them to study science, technology, engineering and mathematics, also known as STEM. On her website, Zara wrote, “With my flight, I want to show young women that they can be__________ as well because __________________________________.” 78. Who was the female record holder of the youngest woman to fly alone around the world before Zara? ___________________________________________________________________ 79. How long did Zara’s around-the-world journey turn out to be? ___________________________________________________________________ 80. What difficulties did Zara have to overcome along her journey? (List at least two.) ___________________________________________________________________ 81. Zara finished her journey without receiving any help, didn’t she? ___________________________________________________________________ 82. How did Zara make changes for her plane to better fit for the long journey? ___________________________________________________________________ 83. What can be filled in the blanks? “With my flight, I want to show young women that they can be _________ as well because __________________________________________________________.” Ⅶ. Writing （作文）（共20分） 84. Write at least 60 words about the topic “________ can make a difference”. (以“……起重要作用”为题写一篇不少于60个词的短文，标点符号不占格。) 提示：在学习或生活中，我们有时候会遇到棘手的局面。什么因素(如confidence，encouragement, kindness, teamwork, courage, perseverance（坚持）等因素）帮助你度过了难关？这个因素对自身、他人或者周围环境产生了怎样的影响？请补全标题，并结合自身经历，谈谈你的体会。 （注意：短文中不得出现任何人名、校名及其它相关信息，否则不予评分。） 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
