For me, nothing is more satisfying than discovering hidden precious stones in secondhand shops.After all, one person's garbage may be another person's treasure.I can spend hours sorting through boxes of old photography.
Two years ago, I came across a collection of loose, dusty photos.I looked to see if there were any names on the backs.I thought that if these were mine or my family's, I'd want someone to return them to me.So I made it my goal to do so for others.
Since then, I've visited secondhand shops weekly, and have collected more than 50,000 of these items.I organize them in big boxes all over my house in New York.
I've also set up a social media account to help reunite items with their owners or other family members.The first item I posted was a video tape of a family holiday and I digitized(数字化) it.It was a video of two parents and a son of university age on a trip in the 1990s—the son was wearing a T-shirt with the words “Wesleyan swimming” on it.
My fans on social media contacted the sports departments in universities across the US and asked swimming coaches from the 1990s if they recognized the student.At last, the family was found.They couldn't believe it and was overjoyed to be reunited with the tape.Then, the family revisited some of the memories together.
People are often quite emotional when seeing the items again—most of these items are lost after a house move or a family death, because they thought they would never see these items again.I have some rules, including not sharing sensitive photographs and removing posts if the family does not want their memories online.I want to encourage people to protect their own family history so that they don't get lost.

William Dunn is the founder of Take a Kid Fishing, Inc, a nonprofit organization in Lakeland, Florida, which teaches poor and fatherless kids through the sport of fishing.
A dozen years ago, inspired by his six-year-old fatherless neighbor, Cam ran, who got angry and shouted at his mom, William asked Cam ran's mom for permission to take Cam ran fishing.Cam ran was “hooked” from that first trip.The two fished together several times a week, and William saw positive changes in Cam ran's behavior.“That's when I realized that I had the duty to help fatherless kids,” he says.
On weekends, William and a few other volunteers take 20 to 25 kids out fishing on a rental boat, which was supported by the captain of the Double Eagle.Many have never been fishing or even on a boat, so William—or Big Will, as the kids call him—starts by teaching the basics.Then come the life lessons that fishing offers: patience, teamwork and the simple joy of relaxing in the outdoors.Take a Kid Fishing, Inc.has taken more than 600 fishing trips with almost 2,000 kids who don't have a father in their lives.
He wants to share his love of fishing with kids who don't have a father to take them.“I just want to show them that I care about them, that I'm there for them,” he says.Because many kids go on multiple trips, William is able to build relationships with them.He and Cam ran, now 20, still regularly fish together, and Cam ran sees Big Will as a father figure.
Take a Kid Fishing, Inc.has a huge impact, but it started because William wanted to help one kid.Do you know a child who might benefit from your friendship? Introduce them to fishing or another hobby you enjoy.You can make a great difference to their life.

Doing voluntary work is becoming more and more popular nowadays because it benefits the individual volunteer, people in need and our society.
When helping others, we are enriching our lives as well.First, doing voluntary work is our responsibility and duty.Second, we can enlarge our life circles so that we get more chances to learn deeper about the present situation of our society, which is very important to our future development.Last, when doing voluntary work with others, we are improving our ability to cooperate with different people and build up team spirit.As for us students, doing voluntary work is an effective way to participate in social activities.In other words, it gives us the chances to prepare to fit into the society in advance.
Through voluntary work, the living conditions of people in need are improved.For example, lots of children in remote areas don't have access to enough food and clothes, let alone education.Some people donate money and clothes while some volunteers go to these areas to teach these children, bringing them knowledge as well as the latest information of the world.In this way, these children's qualities of life are improved and they'll integrate into the society more easily and get a sense of belonging.
The more voluntary work we do, the more steady and harmonious our society will be.Volunteers spread warmth and care all over the world, strengthening union and trust among citizens.As Ban Ki-moon once said, “Volunteerism is a source of community strength.It can bring positive social change by promoting respect for diversity, equality and the participation of all.”
In conclusion, by doing voluntary work, both volunteers and people in need get the precious life experience, and it benefits our society to a large degree.We should keep on doing and appeal to more people to take part in this meaningful activity.

This is a really simple way to save money.Take an empty water bottle with you and fill it up at a water fountain at the airport. 37 You can get collapsible(可折叠的) water bottles that can be used over and again and fit neatly in your bag.Plus it's a great way to cut down water bottle waste.
38
Many airports have special offers and deals on products and meals, so remember to check the website of the airport you are travelling with to see what is available.
Get yourself prepared.
If you are going to a foreign airport, find out where everything is before you arrive. 39 Look up your airport's website and see what information it has about the buildings, shops and transport. 40
A.Book ahead for parking.
B.Take advantage of airport discount codes.
C.This way you can save your cash on pricey drinks.
D.Find a taxi that will take you where you need to go.
E.Locate the water fountains and find the cheap places to eat.
F.If you plan on eating at the airport, this way can work out cheaper.
G.The more prepared you are, the less likely you'll need to spend money unnecessarily.

语篇导读 主题语境:人与社会/历史事件。本文为记叙文,主要讲述了1886年5月,美国各地40万工人举行罢工,要求每天工作8小时的事件。
56.答案 peacefully
解析 考查词性转换。句意:罢工开始时是和平的,但在芝加哥抗议活动的第三天发生了一些暴力事件。此处用副词peacefully修饰动词started。
57.答案 killing
解析 考查非谓语动词。句意:警察向手无寸铁的工人开枪,造成数人死亡。该句的谓语是shot at,所以此处用非谓语形式。The police和kill为逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用现在分词表主动,作结果状语。
58.答案 who/that
解析 考查引导词。句意:投掷炸弹的人从未被确认身份,但八名工人被捕。此处引导定语从句,先行词The person在从句中作主语成分,指人,故填who/that。
59.答案 death
解析 考查词性转换。句意:其中七人被判处死刑,一人被判处15年监禁。be sentenced to sth被判处……,为固定搭配,故填名词death。
60.答案 as
解析 考查介词。句意:这一事件被称为干草市场事件,对把美国的劳动人民团结在一起非常重要。be known as被称为,以……知名,为固定搭配。
61.答案 guilty
解析 考查词性转换。句意:许多人不相信这些人是有罪的,审判被批评不公平。were是系动词,此处为系表结构,故用形容词guilty表示“有罪的”这一特性。
62.答案 was criticized
解析 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意参见上题解析。根据the trial和谓语动词criticize为逻辑上的动宾关系可知,此处用被动语态;主语the trial为单数,时态为一般过去时,故填was criticized。
63.答案 an
解析 考查冠词。句意:干草市场事件成为工人争取权利斗争的一种国际象征,5月1日被选为国际劳动节。symbol为单数名词,“不定冠词a/an+单数名词”可表示泛指一个概念。结合句意,此处为干草市场事件成为一种……的国际象征,为泛指一种概念。international的发音以元音音素开头,故填an。
64.答案 to demonstrate
解析 考查非谓语动词。句意:在这一天,社会主义政党和工会号召工人们进行一天八小时的示威,并支持和平抗议。call on sb to do sth号召某人做某事。
65.答案 have continued
解析 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:此后,世界各地的工人运动继续为争取和赢得这一权利而斗争。根据句意以及since then可知,本句为现在完成时;主语workers' movements为复数形式,所以谓语动词用复数,故填have continued。

One possible version:
Volunteering has always held a special place in my heart, and I'd like to share an unforgettable experience I had as a volunteer teacher.Last summer, I joined a non-profit organization that provided aid to migrant children in my community, hoping to spread positive energy and make a difference to the underprivileged.To create an educational and recreational experience, we planned various interactive activities, ranging from storytelling competitions to drama performances.The preparation process was boring and exhausting, but witnessing the smiles on the children's faces as they immersed themselves in the activities was truly heartwarming.
This volunteer activity has had profound impacts.Not only has it given new meaning to the children's life, but it has taught me a strong sense of empathy.Just as the saying goes, “A rose is in her hand, the fragrance in mine.” I strongly urge everyone to be compassionate and caring towards one another.Only through this can we create a brighter and more harmonious world.
第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As a sixth grader, I began noticing how other kids were separating into groups.I wasn't sure where I belonged.I found it hard to fit in.
Our teacher had assigned “secret friends” for the coming week.She wrote each kid's name on a piece of paper and threw them into a glass; then we each closed our eyes and drew the name of a classmate who we were to secretly befriend and support over the next five school days.By the middle of the week, everyone, including me, had turned this assignment into a contest to see whose secret friend could leave the best gift.We left cards, pens and even money.It seemed that everyone was getting cool presents from their friends except me.
On the last morning of our assignment, I walked into my classroom and noticed there was a package.I opened the wrapping paper and inside was a box of powder(胭脂粉).The girls sitting near me laughed at the gift I had received.To make matters worse, the powder had already been opened.
I tried to forget about the embarrassing gift, but when I was in the bathroom during the break, the girls who had seen me open the powder started speaking ill of my secret friend of giving it to me.I quickly joined in “How terrible!” I heard myself saying, “What could my friend be thinking by giving me such a stupid gift? My grandmother wouldn't even want it.”
The girls laughed at my remarks and rushed out of the bathroom.I stayed to wash my hands and let the water run through my fingers as I thought about what I had just said.It wasn't normal like me to say mean things like that about someone.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
One possible version:
Then I saw my classmate Janet come out of a bathroom booth (厕所隔间), tears streaming down her face.She shouted at me with anger, “If you don't want my gift you can just leave it instead of laughing at it.This is the best powder from my mom!” Before I could say a word, Janet dashed out, leaving me dumb with deep regret.But soon I clenched my fingers and made up my mind to find Janet and say sorry to her.There she was, sitting in a tree shadow wiping her eyes.
Along with my apologies, I explained the reason.I was not a mean girl by judging people's presents.The reason why I complained in front of the girls was that I wanted to fit in, having a sense of belonging in the group.Hearing my sincere words, Janet calmed herself down after constant sobs and said, “True friendship comes from genuine care and love for each other.I think that's our teacher's intention of this ‘secret friend’ assignment.” That day, I learned to cherish real friendship.
