My parents often argued, and I found it hard to 1 with my studies. One day, while exploring the school library, I discovered a dusty old guitar in the corner. Though it had broken strings, I felt a sudden 2 to try playing it. My music teacher, Mr. Wilson, noticed my interest. “Why not 3 the music club?” he suggested. I hesitated — I had no 4 in myself. But he lent me a guitar and taught me basic 5 like rhythm and melody (旋律). At first, my fingers hurt, and the sounds were 6 . Yet, I kept practicing every lunch break. One month later, our club was asked to 7 in a school performance. I was terrified. “What if I make a mistake?” I asked Mr. Wilson. He smiled, “Every musician faces 8 . Just focus on the music, not the crowd.” On the big day, my hands shook as I stepped onto the 9 . But once I started playing, the nervousness faded. The audience clapped to the 10 of the song.

My parents always taught me that even 1 actions could make a difference when disasters struck. One summer, a severe hurricane warning was announced. While others rushed to buy supplies, my father 2 our neighbors’ yards to help move potted 3 indoors. I asked why he wasted time on such small things. He smiled, “These plants may seem 4 , but to Mrs. Johnson, they’re memories of her late husband.” The storm hit hard that night. The next morning, our street was 5 with fallen branches. To my surprise, Mrs. Johnson came out with homemade cookies, 6 everyone who helped. Her gratitude taught me that kindness 7 even in chaos. Years later, I became a meteorologist (气象学家). During a conference, I shared this story to explain why we should 8 not just weather data, but also how people 9 to disasters. A colleague sighed, “Scientists often focus on big 10 but it’s the personal stories that inspire action.” Now, I always include “small action tips” in my reports, like 11 a tree or checking on elderly neighbors. These suggestions seem minor, but they 12 a chain reaction of community care.

By Thanksgiving, she had collected only $49. I said, “You 2 have your pick from my bicycle 3 ” “Thanks, Daddy. But your bikes are so old.” She was right. All my girls’ bikes were 1950s models, not the kind a kid today would 4 choose. As Christmas 5 near, Emily and I went bike shopping. As we left one store, she 6 a Salvation Army volunteer standing next to a big pot. “Can we give something, Daddy?” she asked. “Sorry, Em, I’m out of change.” Throughout December, Emily continued to 7 hard. Then one day, she made a 8 announcement. “You know all the money I’ve been saving?” she said hesitantly. “I’m going to give it to the poor people.” So one cold morning before Christmas, Emily handed her total savings of $58 to a volunteer who was really very 9 . 10 by Emily’s selflessness, I decided to contribute 11 of my old bicycles to a car dealer who was collecting used bikes for poor children. 12 I selected a shiny model from my collection, however, it seemed as if a second bike took on a glow (发光). Should I contribute two? No, one would be enough. But I couldn’t 13 the feeling that I should give a second bike. When I later 14 the bikes, the car dealer said, “You’re making two kids very 15 , sir. Here are your tickets. For each bicycle contributed, we’re 16 away one chance to win a girls’ mountain bike.” Why wasn’t I surprised when that second ticket proved to be the 17 ?

Clarisse Le Guernic 1 a cultural company that has taken it as its 2 to help locals and foreigners better understand Shanghai by the concept of city walks. As an enthusiast of travelling, she 3 China as her first travelling 4 including the Great Wall, the Palace Museum, and the Summer Palace. Whenever she went, she was 5 by laughter and joy. The short journey deeply 6 her. “I longed for more opportunities to experience the 7 life,” she said. In 2020, she chose to stay in Shanghai and 8 her own business. With Shanghai’s friendly business environment for foreign entrepreneurs, she could 9 her company within two weeks. Le Guernic’s first challenge was to tell interesting stories about Shanghai so her 10 could better understand the city. In order to achieve this, she did extensive research, which 11 most offer time. She also attempted to 12 the routes with music and role-playing. What makes her company different from others is that it pays more attention to the 13 of Shanghai’s history and culture. “Born in France, made in China.” This is Le Guernic’s brief 14 on social media. “I can’t say I 15 know China because the country is so big,” she said. “But I hope I can help more people know about Chinese culture and history.” 1．A．runs B．rents C．settles D．stops 2．A．activity B．mission C．arrangement D．method 3．A．planned B．chose C．treated D．identified 4．A．aim B．destination C．opportunity D．approach 5．A．signaled B．confirmed C．represented D．accompanied 6．A．improved B．impressed C．admired D．praised 7．A．joyful B．local C．foreign D．domestic 8．A．set aside B．set down C．set up D．set off 9．A．register B．prepare C．possess D．restore 10．A．followers B．partners C．employees D．audiences 11．A．gave up B．took up C．put up D．looked up 12．A．combine B．supply C．equip D．deal 13．A．donation B．operation C．contribution D．promotion 14．A．introduction B．title C．purpose D．slogan 15．A．frequently B．hardly C．completely D．partially （6） Castillo wrote a letter to her father for his 50th birthday. Her father, who suffers from Down’s syndrome (唐氏综合征), had at one point been a(n) 1 in her life. But in her letter, she wanted the world to know how much she 2 and loves her father. Castillo said it took years before she had the courage to 3 the truth about her situation and her father. She got bullied (霸凌) at school because the other kids saw her father as “ 4 ”. She didn’t understand at the time why the kids were bullying her. Still, she thought of herself as a “cowardly (胆小的) daughter”. “You 5 love, understanding, patience and acceptance as any individual with Down’s syndrome should,” she wrote. Besides having Down’s syndrome, her father has a wide variety of health problems. 6 , her father has spent years in and out of the hospital getting all sorts of 7 . Castillo wrote that her father is the “most 8 person” because of what he 9 , yet he never complained. But there were times when he couldn’t 10 the pain and broke down in tears, which hurt her greatly and made her cry. But her dad kept holding on, which gave her 11 . “Dad, no words can describe how 12 I am for being a(n) 13 daughter.

My parents often argued, and I found it hard to 1 with my studies. One day, while exploring the school library, I discovered a dusty old guitar in the corner. Though it had broken strings, I felt a sudden 2 to try playing it. My music teacher, Mr. Wilson, noticed my interest. “Why not 3 the music club?” he suggested. I hesitated — I had no 4 in myself. But he lent me a guitar and taught me basic 5 like rhythm and melody (旋律). At first, my fingers hurt, and the sounds were 6 . Yet, I kept practicing every lunch break. One month later, our club was asked to 7 in a school performance. I was terrified. “What if I make a mistake?” I asked Mr. Wilson. He smiled, “Every musician faces 8 . Just focus on the music, not the crowd.” On the big day, my hands shook as I stepped onto the 9 . But once I started playing, the nervousness faded. The audience clapped to the 10 of the song. After the performance, a classmate said, “I never knew you could play like that!” For the first time, I felt 11 . Music didn’t solve all my problems, but it gave me a way to 12 my feelings. Now, when life gets tough, I play my guitar. The 13 of creating something beautiful reminds me that even small 14 can bring joy.

I 1 along my 8-year-old daughter, Chamber. One evening, near the end of the 2 , my daughter, the school group and I were on a platform in the London Underground. Just then, a train 3 to the platform. Suddenly, Chamber let go of my hand, jumped on the train, and the doors began to 4 . On the other side of the glass, I could see my daughter’s 5 face. The last thing I saw before the train pulled out of the station was Chambers crying and pounding her small fists against the glass. Behind her, a bearded man dressed in black leather with a spiked (带钉的) dog collar around his neck rose from his seat and started 6 to Chamber. In my opinion, such a person was by no means a good person. Thinking about this, I felt everything went 7 before my eyes. After what seemed centuries, suddenly one of my students appeared at my 8 , saying, “She’s back.” I turned and there was my little girl. Beside her stood the bearded man. Immediately, my previous idea that he was 9 was destroyed. He 10 in silence without leaving a word as I hugged my daughter and cried. It brought tears to my eyes to think how things could have turned out 11 . So I set out on a journey to 12 my unsung hero. I posted, “... When I find myself judging people by their 13 , his image was in my mind. I want him to 14 that he saved me from my worst days.” The second day I was pleasantly surprised to see a reply that said, “No 15 needed.

He sat motionless, the 1 look in his eyes showed he probably had no normal mental function. An advertisement banner (横幅) around his waist was his only 2 from the bad weather. It was quite obvious that he was in need of help. “There is no point in giving him 3 . Let’s buy him a loaf of bread instead,” I suggested. However, there was no 4 of him when we returned. Disappointed, we decided to go home, 5 what to do with the loaf of bread. We’d barely gone a hundred meters when we 6 him. Driven by 7 , he had crossed the road and was 8 with a family of migrant labourers (流动劳工) who had camped there. 9 , none of the family members seemed to mind his presence. In fact, he looked to be quite 10 . The lady roasting rotis (烤饼) on a pan 11 the stranger, making sure that his plate was not empty. She smiled as he 12 into the food awkwardly, dropping every other bite on to his chest and then to the ground. We watched for a while. Then, overcome with 13 , we placed the loaf of bread near the man and rode away, learning the true meaning of giving and sharing. That family was far from 14 , but they shared what they had, not something they had no use for, or something they could easily 15 , like a loaf of bread. 1．A．worried B．empty C．doubtful D．delighted 2．A．problem B．method C．protection D．escape 3．A．suggestion B．money C．support D．ability 4．A．sign B．idea C．way D．issue 5．A．assuming B．wondering C．predicting D．realizing 6．A．caught B．missed C．struck D．spotted 7．A．pride B．hunger C．tiredness D．curiosity 8．A．seated B．positioned C．settled D．associated 9．A．Usually B．Occasionally C．Surprisingly D．Eventually 10．A．ashamed B．confident C．strange D．welcome 11．A．watched over B．look into C．glare at D．look through 12．A．dive B．turn C．dig D．put 13．A．content B．shock C．guilt D．gratitude 14．A．wealthy B．honored C．reliable D．disadvantaged 15．A．quit B．believe C．gain D．afford （10） I like playing basketball though I'm not good at it. I’ve had a basketball since I was a 1 . At first, I could play 2 because no one cared when I was just a kid. But as I 3 it seemed harder for me to enjoy basketball. At school, boys always played basketball during PE classes, while girls were only 4 to play volleyball or badminton. My parents 5 me from playing basketball at home. “Basketball is not 6 for girls, ” they said. When I went to play basketball with my friends, boys stared at me on the court as if I were an alien. I was feeling down and had lost 7 of playing basketball. 8 , something changed on the first day of senior high. I made some friends who also shared the same interest. They 9 me to get back on the court. One of them told me with a smile, “Just 10 your heart!” This girl would always play basketball with me. Even the boy who sat next to me in class passionately (热情地) chatted with me about how to 11 and how to defend. I was so inspired by them that 12 and passion returned to my heart. Basketball now has become a(n) 13 part of my life. I’ve once heard the NBA star Tracy McGrady say, “Nothing is 14 . ” I have figured that life is just like playing basketball.

She immediately called 911, 6 the worst. But this time, a 7 in emergency response technology changed everything.

I asked the woman why she 4 that. She gave me a(n) 5 , saying that she just cleaned its shell to 6 algae and scum (水藻和浮垢), which can stop their heat absorption, swimming, and weaken the shell over time. “But don't most freshwater turtles live their whole lives with algae and scum hanging from their shells?” I asked. “Yes, they do,” she replied 7 , her mouth turning into a thin line. I was still 8 and asked further, “Well then, don't you think you are wasting time?” I continued, “I mean, I think your 9 are well-intentioned, but freshwater turtles are living in lakes all around the world. And not every turtle has 10 people like you to help clean off the shell. So, how exactly is your localized attempt here 11 ?” Finally, the woman 12 cleaning the turtle's shell.

Scott Thompson, a boater from Southern California, was out on his boat. After realizing the weather wasn't favorable, he turned the boat back towards land. Soon after, something 2 happened. The boat was rocked by the wavy water and Scott got 3 out of the boat. The engines continued to run, moving the boat farther and farther away from him, which made it 4 to swim back to it. He watched his boat 5 in the middle of the icy Santa Barbara Channel. Lost at sea, with no land in 6 , Thompson was sure these were his 7 moments on earth. However, thoughts of his family helped him find the 8 to survive. “Just keep 9 , and you will get home to your family,” Thompson kept telling himself. “Just imagining my girls and my son growing up without me, and my wife not having a husband to support her, I couldn't 10 .” All of a sudden, he heard a big splash (拍水声). It was a medium-sized harbor seal that Thompson described as “an angel” that came to help him. “The seal would come up and 11 me, like a dog comes up and pushes your leg.” Thompson said. It was a sense of 12 , Thompson recalled, knowing that he wasn't alone on this heroic journey. Being pushed along by the seal, Thompson felt 13 to swim to the nearest oil platform, which was far but closer than land. With the 14 of the seal, he swam through the dark, freezing water for five hours, until he managed to reach an oil platform. People aboard the oil platform offered aid. They rushed him to a hospital where Thompson was treated and recovered a few days later. While the thought of his 15 motivated him to keep going, Thompson said that he would not have endured through the pain if it hadn't been for the seal swimming alongside him. 1．A．encouragement B．recognition C．respect D．trust 2．A．common B．unexpected C．confusing D．funny 3．A．kicked B．locked C．knocked D．chased 4．A．easy B．unnecessary C．impossible D．safe 5．A．stop B．disappear C．ground D．sink 6．A．space B．mind C．sight D．line 7．A．final B．spare C．exciting D．private 8．A．tool B．way C．skill D．will 9．A．practicing B．calling C．watching D．swimming 10．A．break in B．show up C．give up D．slow down 11．A．push B．greet C．lift D．take 12．A．duty B．hope C．curiosity D．wonder 13．A．satisfied B．determined C．honored D．amused 14．A．task B．cost C．arrival D．company 15．A．family B．friends C．pets D．boat （15） When I was a kid, I really wanted to be a 1 . But I was 2 because in art class, my paintings were never the most beautiful. One time, a project was to create a portrait (肖像画). After we were done, we 3 our portraits. I remember looking at other portraits and thinking, “Why do others’ portraits look so 4 and mine looks so amateur (业余的)?” Despite this, I still really enjoyed painting because it’s a forgiving art. If I don’t like what I’ve put on paper, I can 5 it. I can free some creative juices and use what has inspired me to free myself in a way I may not have 6 .
