Passage1
Dear Paul,
I haven’t seen you for a long time and I miss you very much. Now I’m writing to you to ask for your help. My doctor is a woman and I feel nervous about it, especially when I have to wear nothing at the doctor’s office. What should I do? I’m afraid to see the doctor even if I have a bad cold. Is there something wrong with me? Please help me. I’m looking forward to your reply.
Peter
Dear Peter,
I’m happy to hear from you and I miss you, too.
As for (关于) your trouble, there is no need to worry about it. Little kids often run around wearing nothing and feel natural about it. But as you get older, you care more about your body and want to have your own room. So it’s normal to feel shy when taking off your clothes at the doctor’s office. But your doctor does need to examine (检查) you to make sure if you are healthy.
To make you more comfortable, you can ask your mom or dad to come into the examine room with you. You can also ask for a gown (长袍). Most doctors’ offices have these gowns for patients. So just relax, and your doctor can examine you better to keep you in good health.
Paul

Passage2
That year, I was a Junior 2 student. Falling off the stairs hurt me in the head. Almost everyone thought I was dead. But they were wrong. However, it was difficult to get back to normal (正常的) life. I had to leave school and learn everything, walking, talking, and yes, maths.
To help me with that task, Mrs. Pillar volunteered to come to the hospital and later to my house once a week. We began with basic maths skills. As time passed by, I made progress.
I remembered very vividly how she came to my home on Sundays, sat with me at the kitchen table, and threw different coins on the table. She asked me to show her 38 cents, 17 cents, 63 cents. It was challenging, but she also made it fun.
After a year and a half, I had progressed a lot, both in body and mind, to return to school. Seven years later, I graduated from the University of Texas at the top of my class.
As years went by, I always kept in touch with Mrs. Pillar. Unluckily, one day my parents told me that Mrs. Pillar had been in hospital because she suffered a stroke (中风).
Now it was my turn to help her. Mrs. Pillar lay in bed, unable to speak and know anybody around. I pulled some coins out of my pocket, dropped them on her bed, and asked her to show me 12 cents. The nurse thought that my action was very strange until one day Mrs. Pillar smiled happily as I began working with her-just as she had worked with me years before. She made progress every day and was moved out of ICU and finally out of hospital.
One day, I called to wish her a happy New Year. She spoke into the phone excitedly, “Happy New Year to you and your family, Michael. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.” I quickly said, “Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.”
Mrs. Pillar was one of my Junior 2 teachers, but she taught me so much more about life than only maths.
20. Which of the following is the correct order of what happened in the story?
a. Mrs. Pillar suffered a stroke and was in hospital.
b. I fell off the stairs and had to leave school.
c I returned to school with Mrs. Pillar’s help.
d. Mrs. Pillar got better with my help.
A. b-c-d-a B. c-a-b-d C. b-c-a-d D. b-d-c-a
21. What does the underlined word “vividly” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. 模糊的 B. 清晰地 C. 彻底地 D. 感激地
22. What does the writer mean by saying “… I graduated from the University of Texas at the top of my class” in Paragraph 4?
A. He was clever than his classmates.
B. He worked very hard on maths.
C. His classmates failed to graduate.
D. Mrs. Pillar’s help greatly influenced him.
23. What is the best title for the passage?
A. A Great Teacher B. Always Have A Dream
C. Never Give up D. Kindness Makes Wonders
Passage3
In the world, there are lots of people who want to help out. Many join organizations (管理) run by their governments, for example, the Peace Corps in the United States and Voluntary Service Overseas in Britain. Since the terrible earthquake took place in Wenchuan, more than 200 thousand volunteers across China have been helping there! They do all kinds of work or come up with ways to help improve life. Some offer their professional skills for free. Others have no qualifications (资历), but they love to work hard to help.
One of the most famous volunteers in the world was Mother Teresa. She could be the best volunteer because she gave her life to helping the poorest people of Calcutta. She helped the homeless, cared for the sick, gave out food, and became the mother of those without families.
Now more and more teenagers actively look for volunteering opportunities (机会), too. They volunteer because they think it will be fun or they will learn something. They also like the idea of being helpful to others, even if it is just handing out books for the teacher. As they get older, these reasons are still the same, but there are other important reasons for volunteering such as learning on-the-job, getting work experience, and improving their social life.
All volunteers bring joy to the people they help in so many ways. They might read books to the blind, fix up broken homes, find ways to get water for villagers. Could you be a volunteer? What kind of volunteer work could you do? There is someone in the world who needs you.
24. The Peace Corps is ________ in the United States.
A. a city B. an organization C. a volunteer D. a school
25. The underlined word “those” refers to ________.
A the homeless B. the sick C. the poor D. the kids
26. Which is NOT the reason for teenagers to be volunteers according to the passage?
A. They want to make more friends. B. They want to be helpful.
C. It helps them get work experience. D. It can improve their social life.
27. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Volunteers do all kinds of work. B. Mother Teresa was a great volunteer.
C. The world needs volunteers. D. There are different ways of volunteering.
Passage4
Almost every Chinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem: “Every grain on the plate comes from hard work (谁知盘中餐,粒粒皆辛苦).” But sadly, many of us don’t actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don’t waste food.
A CCTV program, News One Plus One, reported that food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.
Do we have too much food? No, according to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2021, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.
Chinese people are well known for being generous (慷慨的). Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the fond on the table.
Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired (开除) because she took some leftover (剩余的) food home for her son. Many people stood by her side and agreed that it was not right to waste food.
What should we do in our daily life to waste less food? Here are some tips:
◆Do not order too much in a restaurant. Only order what you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home.
◆Don’t be too picky (挑剔的) about food. Some food may not taste great. But your body needs it.
◆Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much, especially for vegetables and fruit.
28. According to News One Plus One, Chinese people_________.
A. save enough food to feed 200 million people for a year
B. throw away lots of food every year
C. get enough food to feed millions of people every year
D. have to feed 200 million hungry people every year
29. From the third paragraph, we know that_________.
A. we have too much food to feed people in the world
B. there were 925 million people in developing countries
C. because of hunger, six million children die every year
D. there are only a few people getting hungry every year
30. What should we do to save food in our daily life?
A. When we order too much food in a restaurant, just take the leftover food home.
B. Eat more food that doesn’t taste great.
C. We should not buy vegetables and fruit.
D. We should keep an eye on the food we like.
31 What’s the main topic of the passage?
A. Don’t waste food. B. Many people die of hunger.
C. Don’t be picky about food. D. Eat all the food you order.

As years went by, I always kept in touch with Mrs. Pillar. Unluckily, one day my parents told me that Mrs. Pillar had been in hospital because she suffered a stroke (中风).
Now it was my turn to help her. Mrs. Pillar lay in bed, unable to speak and know anybody around. I pulled some coins out of my pocket, dropped them on her bed, and asked her to show me 12 cents. The nurse thought that my action was very strange until one day Mrs. Pillar smiled happily as I began working with her-just as she had worked with me years before. She made progress every day and was moved out of ICU and finally out of hospital.
One day, I called to wish her a happy New Year. She spoke into the phone excitedly, “Happy New Year to you and your family, Michael. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.” I quickly said, “Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.”
Mrs. Pillar was one of my Junior 2 teachers, but she taught me so much more about life than only maths.

a. Mrs. Pillar suffered a stroke and was in hospital.
b. I fell off the stairs and had to leave school.
c. I returned to school with Mrs. Pillar’s help.
d. Mrs. Pillar got better with my help.
A. b-c-d-a B. c-a-b-d C. b-c-a-d D. b-d-c-a
21. What does the underlined word “vividly” mean in Paragraph 3?

【分析】文章大意:文章主要讲了作者摔下楼梯伤到头,不得不离开学校,重新学习时,皮勒老师帮助作者学习数学,一种方法是数硬币,多年后作者用同样的方法帮助中风的皮勒老师恢复健康。
【20题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章内容,先是“Falling off the stairs hurt me in the head…. I had to leave school and learn everything”我从楼梯上摔下来头部受伤,……不得不离开学校;然后“To help me with that task, Mrs. Pillar volunteered to come to the hospital and later to my house once a week…After a year and a half, I had progressed a lot, both in body and mind, to return to school.”为了帮助我完成这一任务,皮勒老师自愿每周来医院一次,后来每周来我家一次。……一年半后,我在身体和精神上都有了很大的进步,回到了学校。接下来是“Mrs. Pillar had been in hospital because she suffered a stroke (中风).”皮勒老师中风住院了。最后是“Now it was my turn to help her…. She made progress every day and was moved out of ICU and finally out of hospital.”皮勒老师在我的帮助下逐渐好转出院了。因此正确的排列顺序应是b-c-a-d,故选C。
【21题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“I remembered very vividly how she came to my home on Sundays,”我……记得她是如何在星期天来到我家的,vividly修饰remember ,同时下文写的是皮勒老师到我家和我一起坐在厨房桌子旁,让我往桌子上扔不同的硬币,很有趣,作者对发生什么都记得,所以应该是“清晰地”记得,故选B。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据“I graduated from the University of Texas at the top of my class.”我以全班第一的成绩从德克萨斯大学毕业。结合上文语境,可知是由于皮勒老师的帮助,我在身心上面都取得了进步,返回学校,所以最后才能以优异的成绩大学毕业,因此可推知皮勒老师的帮助对我影响很深,故选D。
【23题详解】
标题归纳题。根据“After a year and a half, I had progressed a lot, both in body and mind, to return to school.”以及“She made progress every day and was moved out of ICU and finally out of hospital.”可知由于皮勒老师的好心帮助让作者最终康复返回学校,同时由于作者对皮勒老师的帮助也产生了奇迹恢复了健康;作者与皮勒老师互相帮助,一个重返学校,一个中风病愈,都是因为他们的善良创造了奇迹,故选D。
Passage3
In the world, there are lots of people who want to help out. Many join organizations (管理) run by their governments, for example, the Peace Corps in the United States and Voluntary Service Overseas in Britain. Since the terrible earthquake took place in Wenchuan, more than 200 thousand volunteers across China have been helping there! They do all kinds of work or come up with ways to help improve life. Some offer their professional skills for free. Others have no qualifications (资历), but they love to work hard to help.
One of the most famous volunteers in the world was Mother Teresa. She could be the best volunteer because she gave her life to helping the poorest people of Calcutta. She helped the homeless, cared for the sick, gave out food, and became the mother of those without families.
Now more and more teenagers actively look for volunteering opportunities (机会), too. They volunteer because they think it will be fun or they will learn something. They also like the idea of being helpful to others, even if it is just handing out books for the teacher. As they get older, these reasons are still the same, but there are other important reasons for volunteering such as learning on-the-job, getting work experience, and improving their social life.
All volunteers bring joy to the people they help in so many ways. They might read books to the blind, fix up broken homes, find ways to get water for villagers. Could you be a volunteer? What kind of volunteer work could you do? There is someone in the world who needs you.
24. The Peace Corps is ________ in the United States.
A. a city B. an organization C. a volunteer D. a school
25. The underlined word “those” refers to ________.
A the homeless B. the sick C. the poor D. the kids
26. Which is NOT the reason for teenagers to be volunteers according to the passage?
A. They want to make more friends. B. They want to be helpful.
C. It helps them get work experience. D. It can improve their social life.
27. What is the main idea of this passage?

C. The world needs volunteers. D. There are different ways of volunteering.

Almost every Chinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem: “Every grain on the plate comes from hard work (谁知盘中餐,粒粒皆辛苦).” But sadly, many of us don’t actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don’t waste food.
A CCTV program, News One Plus One, reported that food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.
Do we have too much food? No, according to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2021, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.
Chinese people are well known for being generous (慷慨). Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the fond on the table.
Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired (开除) because she took some leftover (剩余的) food home for her son. Many people stood by her side and agreed that it was not right to waste food.
What should we do in our daily life to waste less food? Here are some tips:
◆Do not order too much in a restaurant. Only order what you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home.
