As April 18 marks the International Day for Monuments and Sites, also known as World Heritage Day, we’ve selected four archaeological (考古的) sites in China that deserve exploration.

As one of the greatest archeological finds of the 20th century, the Sanxingdui Ruins are believed to be the remains of the Shu Kingdom, dating back at least 4,800 years and lasting over 2,000 years.
The ruins are located in Guanghan city in Southwest China’s Sichuan province, covering 12 square kilometers.

WHY DO WE CELEBRATE FESTIVALS?
Festivals are celebrated all around the world. They have a wide range of origins, such as the seasons of the year, religions, famous figures, and important events. Every festival has its different customs and unique charms. However, no matter how different they may seem, all over the world, the spirit of sharing joy, gratitude, love, or peace is common in all festivals.
Of all the traditional festivals, the harvest festival can be found in almost every culture. This important agricultural festival takes place after all the crops have been gathered in. People celebrate to show that they are grateful for the year’s supply of food. In ancient Egypt, the harvest festival was celebrated during the springtime — the Egyptian harvest season. It featured a parade and a great feast with music, dancing, and sports. Today, in some European countries, people decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and get together to celebrate over a meal. During the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, families gather to admire the shining moon and enjoy delicious mooncakes.
Customs play a significant role in festivals, but sometimes they can change over time. With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas, some traditions may fade away and others may be established. One example is the typical Chinese Spring Festival custom of lighting firecrackers to drive away the evil spirits and celebrate the new year. Nowadays, many big cities have given up this custom in order to avoid air pollution. Another example is Halloween, which slowly became an exciting festival for children, in spite of its religious origins.
Festivals are becoming more and more commercial, with businesses taking advantage of the celebrations. Online shopping websites and social media apps have made it much easier for the public to spend more on gifts for their loved ones. Although some believe festivals should not be commercialised, others believe the increase in spending is good for the economy and public happiness.
Festivals are an important part of society. They reflect people’s wishes, beliefs, faiths, and attitudes towards life. They are occasions that allow us to relax and enjoy life, and forget about our work for a little while. They help us understand where we came from, who we are, and what to appreciate. And if you study festivals carefully, you may be surprised to find that different cultures actually have a lot in common after all.
4. What do all festivals around the world have in common?
A. They all originated from religions.
B. Their celebration ways are exactly the same.
C. The spirit of sharing joy, gratitude, love, or peace.
D. They are all related to agricultural harvests.
5. Why do people celebrate the harvest festival?
A To show their sadness for the end of the harvest.
B. To show their gratitude for the year’s supply of food.
C. To drive away evil spirits.
D. To compete with each other in sports.
6. What has happened to some festival traditions according to the text?
A. Some traditions fade away and others are established.
B. They have remained completely unchanged.
C. They have all become more religious.
D. They have all become more popular.
7. Why have many big cities in China given up the Spring Festival custom of lighting firecrackers?
A. Because it is too expensive.
B. Because it is not fun anymore.
C. To follow foreign traditions.
D. To avoid air pollution.
C
To truly understand a place, reading books or listening to travelers’ stories about it is not enough. Only by standing on its land, using its language, and experiencing it firsthand can you truly say, “I know this place.”
London, for me, became more than just a city of kings and queens or a financial center of the world — it came alive in ways I could never have imagined. London’s life doesn’t only exist in its grand palaces. You can feel it on the streets, in the underground, and in the pubs. As you walk around, different smells greet your nose, showing the city’s history, variety and energy.
What struck me the most was London’s variety? Walking down the streets felt like wandering through a vibrant (充满活力的) market — you never know what kind of face, language, or culture you will come across next. On one street, you could travel the world, tasting food from every corner of the globe. The openness and freedom there are amazing. Despite this, London also felt isolated (孤立的) at times. The busy subway tunnels, filled with bright ads, seemed disconnected. And even though people could understand me perfectly, speaking not in my mother tongue felt a bit odd and made me feel like an outsider.
I also realized that life in London isn’t easy for everyone. Everything seems to come with a price — whether it’s getting good service at a restaurant or entering a museum exhibit. It felt like access to the “good life” was something you really had to pay for.
London is a city that attracts, inspires and sometimes deceives (欺骗). But after walking its streets and experiencing it firsthand, I can finally say I’ve seen London with my own eyes and felt it with my heart.
8. Where can you feel the life of London?
A. At the airport. B. At the restaurants.
C. In the museums. D. In everyday settings.
9. How did the author feel when speaking English in London?
A. Upset and scared. B. Strange, and distant.
C. Excited and confident. D. Natural and comfortable.
10. What can be inferred about London’s “good life”?
A. It provides quality service to all. B. It is accessible to locals for free.
C. It costs much to fully experience. D. It is limited to historical landmarks.
11. What message does the text mainly express?
A. London is the best city in the world to live in.
B. London’s history is its most attractive feature.
C. Experiencing a place personally leads to real understanding.
D. Mastering foreign language ensures meaningful travel experience.
D
Anyone who has ever been around a cat for any length of time well knows cats have great patience. Yikes! My cat changed a lot recently. In just a week or so, my calm, adorable, long-haired Rusty turned into the attack cat of the century! It was not what I needed at all! Wasn’t the rest of my life in enough chaos? Changes at work. Changes in relationships. I already felt as if my entire world was falling apart. Nothing calmed my cat down either. He ran and dove in every direction. He broke every single rule we had ever had to keep peace in the home we shared. He’d turned into a cat I’d never met before! Finally, I took Rusty to the vet. After careful examination, the vet shook his head, “Not a thing is wrong with him, Miss. He’s doing great.”
“No,” I argued with anger, “he’s not great. He’s absolutely awful.” I almost burst into tears.
Then the vet asked the most insightful question that anyone had ever asked me — at least, anytime recently. “So,” said my cat’s kindhearted vet, “how has your life been going lately?” Shock shot through me. “Me?” I stared at him, essentially speechless, ready to throw myself into his cat-cradling arms. I managed a relatively coherent response. “Not so good,” I admitted.
The kindly cat doctor nodded and replied, “Just what I suspected. Often, the human-to-cat bond is so powerful that a perfectly healthy cat will act out in response to his human’s emotional stresses.”
I nodded along, thinking. “Yes. yes. yes. yes. yes!”
“Do your best,” our doctor told us both, “to be calm, patient and kind. Once you’re doing better, then Rusty will do better, too.”
That day turned us around. I got some good, professional treatment for my super stressors.
Rusty got a kinder, gentler me with more ear touches and back petting.
12. Why did the author take Rusty to the vet?
A. He suffered heavy hair loss. B. He lost his sense of direction.
C. He became unusually wild. D. He showed temporary inactivity.
13. The author nearly cried because she thought ________.
A. the vet announced good news
B. the vet didn’t find the problem
C. the vet didn’t express sympathy
D. the vet drew an awful conclusion
14. What does the underlined sentence imply?
A. The author felt understood by the vet
B. The author was impatient with the vet.
C. The author favored the treatment for Rusty.
D. The author knew Rusty was to recover soon.
15. How did the author feel after visiting the vet?
A. Relieved and calm. B. Amused and proud.
C. Motivated and passionate. D. Grateful and determined.

In an age where screens dominate our lives, Read-A-Thon offers a unique way to combine the joy of reading with the power of collective action. ____16____ For instance, reading 10 books a month will bring funds to buy books for rural schools. Read on to successfully organize a read-a-thon.
Just as you need a destination before starting a journey, a read-a-thon requires clear goals. Prioritize setting a reading target: Will participants aim to collectively read 500 books in a week? Choosing a charitable purpose comes next, for example, to restore a community library. ____17____ Sharing these objectives upfront helps participants understand how their reading efforts create real-world impact.
____18____ For local groups like classmates or neighbors, host an in-person gathering at a community center where everyone reads together. For broader reach, use apps to track reading progress online. Many modern read-a-thons blend both approaches: using digital tools to monitor milestones while organizing offline book-sharing sessions to spark connections.
As the event concludes, ensure all donations are carefully verified (核实) and securely transferred to the chosen cause through trusted platforms. Also, celebrate achievements — award certificates to top readers, display infographics (信息图表) showing how funds will be used, and share photos of beneficiaries (like students holding new books). These steps turn abstract numbers into heartfelt stories. ____19____
From classroom reading clubs to city-wide reading relays, read-a-thons prove that when books meet compassion, reading transcends personal enjoyment. ____20____ Just like the slogan from a high school event last year, “Every page you read makes the world a little better.”
A. Turn efforts into action.
B. Tailor the event to your participants.
C. It becomes a torch that can light up others.
D. Donations are made with the amount of reading.
E It is a beneficial activity to improve reading skills.
F. They are equally important, like two wheels on a bicycle.
G. This inspiring shift reminds everyone that their pages turned truly count.

The rain poured down heavily, making a continuous drumming noise. I stared at the broken bicycle chain in despair. My hands trembled, not from the cold, but from the weight of Dad’s words echoing in my mind: “If you want independence, fix it yourself.”
Just a few hours earlier, I had stormed out of the house after a heated argument with Dad. “I’m seventeen! I’m not a little kid. I can deal with things by myself!” I shouted, slamming the door so hard that it seemed to shake the entire house. Now, I was stuck on the muddy path, my bike useless beside me. The rain kept falling hard, and the wind was blowing strongly, making it even harder to see. Pride and frustration were battling inside me like a wild storm. I had always prided myself on being independent, but now I felt helpless and alone.
Suddenly, through the heavy rain, I noticed an old man struggling to push his grocery cart up the steep hill. His umbrella was shaking dangerously in the strong wind, as if it was going to be torn away at any moment. I hesitated for a moment, but then something inside me clicked. I left my bike and ran towards him.
“Do you need some help?” I shouted over the noise of the rain. The old man looked up, surprise in his eyes, but he nodded gratefully. I grabbed the handle of the cart and helped him push it up the hill. The cart was heavy, but together we managed to make it stable. When we reached the top, he turned to me and smiled kindly. “Thank you, young man,” he said, his voice warm and sincere. Then he reached into his cart and handed me a slightly flattened apple. “Kindness is never wasted,” he added.
Those simple words struck me deeply It reminds me that true independence isn’t about just refusing help. It’s about knowing when to lend a hand and when to accept help gracefully.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After the old man left, I returned to my bike.

WHY DO WE CELEBRATE FESTIVALS?
Festivals are celebrated all around the world. They have a wide range of origins, such as the seasons of the year, religions, famous figures, and important events. Every festival has its different customs and unique charms. However, no matter how different they may seem, all over the world, the spirit of sharing joy, gratitude, love, or peace is common in all festivals.
Of all the traditional festivals, the harvest festival can be found in almost every culture. This important agricultural festival takes place after all the crops have been gathered in. People celebrate to show that they are grateful for the year’s supply of food. In ancient Egypt, the harvest festival was celebrated during the springtime — the Egyptian harvest season. It featured a parade and a great feast with music, dancing, and sports. Today, in some European countries, people decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and get together to celebrate over a meal. During the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, families gather to admire the shining moon and enjoy delicious mooncakes.
Customs play a significant role in festivals, but sometimes they can change over time. With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas, some traditions may fade away and others may be established. One example is the typical Chinese Spring Festival custom of lighting firecrackers to drive away the evil spirits and celebrate the new year. Nowadays, many big cities have given up this custom in order to avoid air pollution. Another example is Halloween, which slowly became an exciting festival for children, in spite of its religious origins.
Festivals are becoming more and more commercial, with businesses taking advantage of the celebrations. Online shopping websites and social media apps have made it much easier for the public to spend more on gifts for their loved ones. Although some believe festivals should not be commercialised, others believe the increase in spending is good for the economy and public happiness.
Festivals are an important part of society. They reflect people’s wishes, beliefs, faiths, and attitudes towards life. They are occasions that allow us to relax and enjoy life, and forget about our work for a little while. They help us understand where we came from, who we are, and what to appreciate. And if you study festivals carefully, you may be surprised to find that different cultures actually have a lot in common after all.

To truly understand a place, reading books or listening to travelers’ stories about it is not enough. Only by standing on its land, using its language, and experiencing it firsthand can you truly say, “I know this place.”
London, for me, became more than just a city of kings and queens or a financial center of the world — it came alive in ways I could never have imagined. London’s life doesn’t only exist in its grand palaces. You can feel it on the streets, in the underground, and in the pubs. As you walk around, different smells greet your nose, showing the city’s history, variety and energy.
What struck me the most was London’s variety? Walking down the streets felt like wandering through a vibrant (充满活力的) market — you never know what kind of face, language, or culture you will come across next. On one street, you could travel the world, tasting food from every corner of the globe. The openness and freedom there are amazing. Despite this, London also felt isolated (孤立的) at times. The busy subway tunnels, filled with bright ads, seemed disconnected. And even though people could understand me perfectly, speaking not in my mother tongue felt a bit odd and made me feel like an outsider.
I also realized that life in London isn’t easy for everyone. Everything seems to come with a price — whether it’s getting good service at a restaurant or entering a museum exhibit. It felt like access to the “good life” was something you really had to pay for.
London is a city that attracts, inspires and sometimes deceives (欺骗). But after walking its streets and experiencing it firsthand, I can finally say I’ve seen London with my own eyes and felt it with my heart.
8. Where can you feel the life of London?
A. At the airport. B. At the restaurants.
C. In the museums. D. In everyday settings.
9. How did the author feel when speaking English in London?
A. Upset and scared. B. Strange, and distant.
C. Excited and confident. D. Natural and comfortable.
10. What can be inferred about London’s “good life”?
A. It provides quality service to all. B. It is accessible to locals for free.
C. It costs much to fully experience. D. It is limited to historical landmarks.
11. What message does the text mainly express?
A. London is the best city in the world to live in.
B. London’s history is its most attractive feature.
C. Experiencing a place personally leads to real understanding.
D. Mastering foreign language ensures meaningful travel experience.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述自己在伦敦的亲身经历,说明了要真正了解一个地方,需要亲自站在那片土地上,使用当地的语言,并亲身体验。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“You can feel it on the streets, in the underground, and in the pubs. (你可以在街上、地铁里和酒吧里感受到它)”可知,在伦敦的日常环境中可以感受到伦敦的生活。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“And even though people could understand me perfectly, speaking not in my mother tongue felt a bit odd and made me feel like an outsider. (尽管人们能完全理解我,但不说母语让我感觉有点奇怪,觉得自己像个局外人)”可知,作者在伦敦说英语时感觉有点奇怪,像个局外人,即感觉陌生和疏远。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Everything seems to come with a price — whether it’s getting good service at a restaurant or entering a museum exhibit. It felt like access to the “good life” was something you really had to pay for. (似乎每件事都要付出代价 —— 无论是在餐馆得到良好的服务,还是进入博物馆的展览。感觉要想过上“美好的生活”,你真的得付出代价)”可推知,伦敦的“美好生活”需要付出很多代价才能完全体验。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段“To truly understand a place, reading books or listening to travelers’ stories about it is not enough. Only by standing on its land, using its language, and experiencing it firsthand can you truly say, “I know this place.” (要真正了解一个地方,仅仅阅读书籍或听旅行者的故事是不够的。只有站在那片土地上,使用当地的语言,并亲身体验,你才能真正地说,“我了解这个地方”)”可知,文章主要表达了作者通过亲身体验伦敦,对伦敦有了更深入的了解,从而传达了“亲身体验一个地方才能带来真正的理解”这一信息。故选C项。

Anyone who has ever been around a cat for any length of time well knows cats have great patience. Yikes! My cat changed a lot recently. In just a week or so, my calm, adorable, long-haired Rusty turned into the attack cat of the century! It was not what I needed at all! Wasn’t the rest of my life in enough chaos? Changes at work. Changes in relationships. I already felt as if my entire world was falling apart. Nothing calmed my cat down either. He ran and dove in every direction. He broke every single rule we had ever had to keep peace in the home we shared. He’d turned into a cat I’d never met before! Finally, I took Rusty to the vet. After careful examination, the vet shook his head, “Not a thing is wrong with him, Miss. He’s doing great.”
“No,” I argued with anger, “he’s not great. He’s absolutely awful.” I almost burst into tears.
Then the vet asked the most insightful question that anyone had ever asked me — at least, anytime recently. “So,” said my cat’s kindhearted vet, “how has your life been going lately?” Shock shot through me. “Me?” I stared at him, essentially speechless, ready to throw myself into his cat-cradling arms. I managed a relatively coherent response. “Not so good,” I admitted.
The kindly cat doctor nodded and replied, “Just what I suspected. Often, the human-to-cat bond is so powerful that a perfectly healthy cat will act out in response to his human’s emotional stresses.”
I nodded along, thinking. “Yes. yes. yes. yes. yes!”
“Do your best,” our doctor told us both, “to be calm, patient and kind. Once you’re doing better, then Rusty will do better, too.”
That day turned us around. I got some good, professional treatment for my super stressors.
Rusty got a kinder, gentler me with more ear touches and back petting.
12. Why did the author take Rusty to the vet?
A. He suffered heavy hair loss. B. He lost his sense of direction.
C. He became unusually wild. D. He showed temporary inactivity.
13. The author nearly cried because she thought ________.
A. the vet announced good news
B. the vet didn’t find the problem
C. the vet didn’t express sympathy
D. the vet drew an awful conclusion
14. What does the underlined sentence imply?
A. The author felt understood by the vet
B. The author was impatient with the vet.
C. The author favored the treatment for Rusty.
D. The author knew Rusty was to recover soon.
15. How did the author feel after visiting the vet?

细节理解题。根据第一段中“In just a week or so, my calm, adorable, long-haired Rusty turned into the attack cat of the century! (就在短短一周左右的时间里,我那温顺可爱的长毛猫Rusty变成了世纪攻击猫!)”及“Nothing calmed my cat down either. He ran and dove in every direction. He broke every single rule we had ever had to keep peace in the home we shared. He’d turned into a cat I’d never met before! Finally, I took Rusty to the vet.(而且什么都没法让我的猫安静下来。它四处狂奔乱扑,打破了我们为了维持家中和谐而制定的每一条规矩。它变成了一只我从未见过的猫!最后,我带Rusty去看了兽医)”可知,作者带Rusty去看兽医是因为它变得异常凶猛。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“After careful examination, the vet shook his head, “Not a thing wrong with him, Miss. He’s doing great.” (经过仔细检查,兽医摇了摇头说:“它一点问题都没有,小姐。它状态很好。”)”和第二段中““No,” I argued with anger, “he’s not great. He’s absolutely awful.” I almost burst into tears. (“不,”我生气地反驳道,“它不好。它糟糕透顶了。”我几乎要哭出来了)”可知,作者几乎哭出来是因为她认为兽医没有发现问题。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中““So,” said my cat’s kindhearted vet, “how has your life been going lately?” Shock shot through me. “Me?” I stared at him, essentially speechless, ready to throw myself into his cat-cradling arms. I managed a relatively coherent response. “Not so good,” I admitted. (我家猫咪那善良的兽医说:“那么,你最近生活过得怎么样?”我顿时感到震惊。“我?”我盯着他,几乎说不出话来,恨不得扑进他抱着猫的怀里。我好不容易组织出还算连贯的回答。“不太好,”我承认道。)”和第四段中“The kindly cat doctor nodded and replied, “Just what I suspected. Often, the human-to-cat bond is so powerful that a perfectly healthy cat will act out in response to his human’s emotional stresses.” (这位和蔼的猫医生点了点头,回答说:“正如我所料。人与猫之间的联系非常紧密,一只完全健康的猫常常会因为主人的情绪压力而表现失常。”)”可知,作者对兽医的问题感到震惊,并觉得兽医理解了自己的处境,即作者感到被兽医理解了。由此推知,划线句子暗示作者觉得被兽医理解了。故选A。
【15题详解】

第二节
In an age where screens dominate our lives, Read-A-Thon offers a unique way to combine the joy of reading with the power of collective action. ____16____ For instance, reading 10 books a month will bring funds to buy books for rural schools. Read on to successfully organize a read-a-thon.
Just as you need a destination before starting a journey, a read-a-thon requires clear goals. Prioritize setting a reading target: Will participants aim to collectively read 500 books in a week? Choosing a charitable purpose comes next, for example, to restore a community library. ____17____ Sharing these objectives upfront helps participants understand how their reading efforts create real-world impact.
____18____ For local groups like classmates or neighbors, host an in-person gathering at a community center where everyone reads together. For broader reach, use apps to track reading progress online. Many modern read-a-thons blend both approaches: using digital tools to monitor milestones while organizing offline book-sharing sessions to spark connections.
As the event concludes, ensure all donations are carefully verified (核实) and securely transferred to the chosen cause through trusted platforms. Also, celebrate achievements — award certificates to top readers, display infographics (信息图表) showing how funds will be used, and share photos of beneficiaries (like students holding new books). These steps turn abstract numbers into heartfelt stories. ____19____
From classroom reading clubs to city-wide reading relays, read-a-thons prove that when books meet compassion, reading transcends personal enjoyment. ____20____ Just like the slogan from a high school event last year, “Every page you read makes the world a little better.”
A Turn efforts into action.
B. Tailor the event to your participants.
C. It becomes a torch that can light up others.
D. Donations are made with the amount of reading.
E. It is a beneficial activity to improve reading skills.
F. They are equally important, like two wheels on a bicycle.
G. This inspiring shift reminds everyone that their pages turned truly count.
【答案】16. D 17. F 18. B 19. G 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了阅读马拉松(Read-A-Thon)这一活动,它结合了阅读的乐趣和集体行动的力量,旨在通过阅读为慈善事业筹集资金,并给出了成功组织阅读马拉松的建议。
【16题详解】
根据下文“For instance, reading 10 books a month will bring funds to buy books for rural schools. (例如,每月阅读10本书将为农村学校购买书籍带来资金)”可知,阅读的数量与捐赠的资金是挂钩的,D选项“Donations are made with the amount of reading. (捐赠是根据阅读量来定的)”,说明了阅读量与捐赠之间的关系。故选D项。

(就像在开始旅程之前你需要一个目的地一样,阅读马拉松也需要明确的目标。优先设定阅读目标:参与者是否打算在一周内共同阅读500本书?接下来是选择一个慈善目的,例如,重建一个社区图书馆)”可知,设定阅读目标和选择慈善目的是阅读马拉松的两个重要方面,F选项“They are equally important, like two wheels on a bicycle. (它们同样重要,就像自行车的两个轮子一样)”中的“They”指代上文的“setting a reading target”和“Choosing a charitable purpose”,且用自行车的两个轮子来比喻两者的同等重要性。故选F项。
【18题详解】
根据下文“For local groups like classmates or neighbors, host an in-person gathering at a community center where everyone reads together. For broader reach, use apps to track reading progress online.

(对于像同学或邻居这样的本地团体,可以在社区中心举办一次面对面的聚会,让大家一起阅读。为了扩大影响力,可以使用应用程序在线跟踪阅读进度。许多现代阅读马拉松都融合了这两种方法:使用数字工具来监控里程碑,同时组织线下书籍分享会来激发联系)”可知,本段主要讲述了如何根据参与者的不同来定制阅读马拉松活动,B选项“Tailor the event to your participants. (根据参与者定制活动)”,准确概括了本段的核心内容。故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“As the event concludes, ensure all donations are carefully verified (核实) and securely transferred to the chosen cause through trusted platforms. Also, celebrate achievements — award certificates to top readers, display infographics (信息图表) showing how funds will be used, and share photos of beneficiaries (like students holding new books). These steps turn abstract numbers into heartfelt stories. (随着活动的结束,确保所有捐赠都经过仔细核实,并通过可信平台安全地转移到选定的慈善事业中。此外,还要庆祝成就 —— 向优秀读者颁发证书,展示资金将如何使用的信息图表,并分享受益人的照片(如学生拿着新书)。这些步骤将抽象的数字变成了感人的故事)”可知,本段主要讲述了活动结束后的后续工作,包括核实捐赠、庆祝成就等,这些工作让人们意识到他们的阅读努力真正产生了影响,G选项“This inspiring shift reminds everyone that their pages turned truly count. (这种鼓舞人心的转变提醒着每个人,他们翻过的每一页都真正算数)”,总结了本段的核心意义,即人们的阅读努力得到了认可和回报。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“From classroom reading clubs to city-wide reading relays, read-a-thons prove that when books meet compassion, reading transcends personal enjoyment. (从课堂读书俱乐部到全市范围的读书接力赛,阅读马拉松证明了当书籍与同情心相遇时,阅读就超越了个人享受)”以及下文“Just like the slogan from a high school event last year, “Every page you read makes the world a little better.” (就像去年一所高中活动的口号一样,“你读的每一页都会让世界变得更美好一点”)”可知,阅读马拉松不仅让人们享受阅读的乐趣,还让他们意识到自己的阅读可以为社会做出贡献,C选项“It becomes a torch that can light up others. (它变成了一支可以照亮他人的火炬)”,将阅读比作火炬,照亮他人,即阅读可以产生积极的社会影响,与上下文逻辑一致。故选C项。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
The rain poured down heavily, making a continuous drumming noise. I stared at the broken bicycle chain in despair. My hands trembled, not from the cold, but from the weight of Dad’s words echoing in my mind: “If you want independence, fix it yourself.”
Just a few hours earlier, I had stormed out of the house after a heated argument with Dad. “I’m seventeen! I’m not a little kid. I can deal with things by myself!” I shouted, slamming the door so hard that it seemed to shake the entire house. Now, I was stuck on the muddy path, my bike useless beside me. The rain kept falling hard, and the wind was blowing strongly, making it even harder to see. Pride and frustration were battling inside me like a wild storm. I had always prided myself on being independent, but now I felt helpless and alone.
Suddenly, through the heavy rain, I noticed an old man struggling to push his grocery cart up the steep hill. His umbrella was shaking dangerously in the strong wind, as if it was going to be torn away at any moment. I hesitated for a moment, but then something inside me clicked. I left my bike and ran towards him.
“Do you need some help?” I shouted over the noise of the rain. The old man looked up, surprise in his eyes, but he nodded gratefully. I grabbed the handle of the cart and helped him push it up the hill. The cart was heavy, but together we managed to make it stable. When we reached the top, he turned to me and smiled kindly. “Thank you, young man,” he said, his voice warm and sincere. Then he reached into his cart and handed me a slightly flattened apple. “Kindness is never wasted,” he added.
Those simple words struck me deeply. It reminds me that true independence isn’t about just refusing help. It’s about knowing when to lend a hand and when to accept help gracefully.

After the old man left, I returned to my bike.

Back home, Dad was waiting at the doorstep, a toolbox in his hand.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】After the old man left, I returned to my bike. I suddenly realized the old man had taught me something special. He had taught me that it was necessary for a person to help those who were in trouble. The little bike had helped the old man get safely home. My aching muscles and wet clothes didn’t trouble me. I was surprised to discover that l was feeling better and the rain didn’t seem so heavy any more. I got home at about 7 o’clock and, as usual, I rushed to the kitchen to prepare my supper.
Back home, Dad was waiting at the doorstep, a tool box in his hand. I was feeling quite happy because I was able to ride home all by myself. Dad had changed so much that I could hardly recognize him when he was right in front of me! And I was so sorry because the last time I saw him, I said such terrible words to him. I felt so embarrassed. My tears were like pearls now. I was so regretful. “Dad,” I called, “do you need help with dinner?” “Oh, Mary, I ...”
