“Why?” It’s a simple question that people ask Angela Madeline frequently. After all she began a journey that very few people would ever attempt: walk around the world alone.
The thought of Madeline’s journey did not start from a place of loss or personal crisis. She said, “I was searching for a deeper interaction with nature and people.” Walking would minimize her carbon footprint, plus the slow pace meant that she could fully engage herself in nature, and gain insights into other cultures in a unique way.
She left her hometown of Bend, Oregon, on 2 May 2016 and headed into an adventure. Along the way, Madeline would suffer from heatstroke (中暑) in the Australian desert and hear gunshots while camping in Turkey. “Still,” she said, “I didn’t stop because I was more afraid of not following my heart than I was of losing everything I owned and loved.”
Apart from that, her slow pace allowed her to be drawn deeply into other cultures. She wandered the tiny seaside villages along Italy Tyrthenian Sea, enjoying the lively atmosphere. In Vietnam, she was offered food by an elderly woman and invited to rest in her wooden house at the peak for the night. She chose an experience of uncertainty and curiosity, in search of something she could never be certain to find: a sense of fulfillment and a deeper connection.
On16 December 2022, Madeline’s pilgrimage (朝圣之旅) ended right where it started. For now, she’s working on a book, planning future journeys and creating more effective ways for women to find and express courage in their lives.
Whether a walk leads halfway around the world or just down the road, Madeline has shown the true worth of embracing (拥抱) the unknown and giving more than we receive along the way.
4. Why did Madeline decide to start her journey?
A. To get rid of personal crisis. B. To get closer to the world.
C. To reduce carbon footprint. D. To slow down the pace of life.
5. What can we know about Madeline during the journey?
A. She was about to give up. B. She was helped by Italian locals.
C. She experienced various cultures. D. She enjoyed Australian coastal scenery.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Madeline?
A. Cautious and gentle. B. Tough and adventurous.
C. Outgoing and generous. D. Open-minded and humorous.
7. What’s this text mainly about?
A. A new way to slow down life. B. A closer connection with the wild.
C. An unforgettable memory of a trip. D. A woman walking around the world.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Angela Madeline徒步环游世界,寻求与自然和文化的深度交流,历经艰难仍坚持完成旅程,展现了探索未知的勇气与收获。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第二段“The thought of Madeline’s journey did not start from a place of loss or personal crisis. She said, “I was searching for a deeper interaction with nature and people.” Walking would minimize her carbon footprint, plus the slow pace meant that she could fully engage herself in nature, and gain insights into other cultures in a unique way. (想到玛德琳的旅程,并不是出于一种失落或个人危机。她说:“我一直在寻找一种与自然和人更深层次的互动。”步行可以最大限度地减少她的碳足迹,加上缓慢的步伐意味着她可以完全融入大自然,并以一种独特的方式了解其他文化。)”可知,玛德琳为了更接近这个世界,决定开始她的旅程。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段“Apart from that, her slow pace allowed her to be drawn deeply into other cultures. She wandered the tiny seaside villages along Italy Tyrthenian Sea, enjoying the lively atmosphere. In Vietnam, she was offered food by an elderly woman and invited to rest in her wooden house at the peak for the night. She chose an experience of uncertainty and curiosity, in search of something she could never be certain to find: a sense of fulfillment and a deeper connection. (除此之外,她缓慢的步伐使她深深地被其他文化所吸引。她漫步在意大利第勒尼安海沿岸的小海边村庄,享受着热闹的气氛。在越南,一位老妇人给了她食物,并邀请她在山顶的木屋里过夜。她选择了一种充满不确定性和好奇心的体验,去寻找一些她永远不确定能找到的东西:一种满足感和一种更深层次的联系。)”可知,在旅途中,玛德琳经历了多种文化。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“She left her hometown of Bend, Oregon, on 2 May 2016 and headed into an adventure. Along the way, Madeline would suffer from heatstroke (中暑) in the Australian desert and hear gunshots while camping in Turkey. “Still,” she said, “I didn’t stop because I was more afraid of not following my heart than I was of losing everything I owned and loved.” (2016年5月2日,她离开家乡俄勒冈州本德市,开始了一段冒险之旅。一路上,玛德琳在澳大利亚沙漠中暑,在土耳其露营时听到枪声。“尽管如此,”她说,“我没有停下来,因为比起失去我所拥有和所爱的一切,我更害怕不跟随自己的心。”)”可知,她面对旅途中的种种困难,如在澳大利亚沙漠中中暑、在土耳其露营时听到枪声,但她都没有放弃,这体现了她的坚韧。同时,独自环游世界的决定本身就是一种冒险。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第一段中“After all, she began a journey that very few people would ever attempt: walk around the world alone. (毕竟,她开始了一段很少有人会尝试的旅程:独自环游世界。)”可知,文章主要讲述了Angela Madeline徒步环游世界,寻求与自然和文化的深度交流,历经艰难仍坚持完成旅程,展现了探索未知的勇气与收获。选项D“A woman walking around the world. (一个女人环游世界)”符合题意。故选D。
C
For many kids, the Internet is at their fingertips. From computers to smartphones, a web of information is open to them. According to a new report from the Pew Research Centre, about three out of four kids aged 12 to 15 connect the Internet using a mobile device from time to time. Many younger kids are online too.
Julian Zeitlinger, 9, from New Jersey, uses his computer to watch videos and play games. To keep him safe online, his parents monitor his web use and discuss Internet safety with him. “I ask my parents if something is wrong.” Julian says. Mobile devices offer more ways than ever to share personal information. The information can be dangerous in the wrong hands. A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience.
Have you ever had to enter a parent’s e-mail address when signing up for a website? That safety measure is there because of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The law says sites for kids under 13 cannot collect personal information, such as a phone number or full name, without a parent’s permission.
This July, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will update COPPA for the first time since the law was created in 1998 when there were no smartphones. “The nature of the way kids get online has changed,” FTC lawyer Phyllis Marcus said. When the changes take effect,COPPA will apply to(适用于) mobile devices and newer forms of advertising. It will expand what falls under “personal information” to include videos, photographs and services that give out users’ location.
COPPA doesn’t cover everything that can go wrong online. That’s why kids and parents need to know what to look out for and to stop and think before sharing information online.
“There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA, it is totally safe,” says privacy expert Shai Samet. He runs KidSAFE, which checks if a site meets KidSAFE standards and is safe. “It’s important that kids know how useful the Internet is but that it can also be dangerous if you are not careful,” he adds.
8. Julian’s parents check his web use to make sure ________.
A. he doesn’t watch too many videos B. he doesn’t play computer games
C. he stays safe on the Internet D. he controls his online time
9. How does the author explain children’s unpleasant online experiences?
A. By describing his own experiences. B. By presenting scientific research.
C. By showing differences. D. By using examples.
10. People often hold the wrong idea that ________.
A. formal weteites are always safe B. the Internet is becoming safer and safer
C. COPPA can ensure their complete safety D. daily checks prevent future online problems
11. What’s the main purpose of the text?
A. To ask parents to look out for their kids. B. To tell people to be careful online.
C. To offer tips on online safety. D. To introduce an online law.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了儿童上网的安全问题以及COPPA的成因、发展等特征。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句话“To keep him safe online, his parents monitor his web use and discuss Internet safety with him. (为了保证他的网络安全,他的父母监视他的网络使用,并与他讨论网络安全问题)”可知,Julian的父母检测他上网情况是为了确保他的网络安全。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句话“A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience.(一项研究发现,62%的8至17岁的儿童有过不愉快的上网经历)”可知,作者主要是通过引用研究结果来说明孩子们不愉快的上网经历。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA, it is totally safe,” says privacy expert Shai Samet. He runs KidSAFE, which checks if a site meets KidSAFE standards and is safe. “It’s important that kids know how useful the Internet is but that it can also be dangerous if you are not careful,” he adds.(隐私专家Shai Samet表示:“有一种误解是,如果一个网站遵循COPPA,它是完全安全的。”。他经营着KidSAFE,负责检查网站是否符合KidSAFE标准并且是安全的。他补充道:“让孩子们知道互联网有多有用很重要,但如果你不小心,它也可能是危险的。”)”可推知,人们认为遵循COPPA法案的网站可以确保他们上网的绝对安全,然而事实表明, 这是错误的观点。故选C。
【11题详解】
目的意图题。通读全文可知,由于上网的方式在发生改变,因此相应的确保上网安全的法案也要进行更新调整,特别是文章最后一段最后一句话““It’s important that kids know how useful the Internet is but that it can also be dangerous if you are not careful,” he adds.(他补充道:“让孩子们知道互联网有多有用很重要,但如果你不小心,它也可能是危险的)”可知,本篇文章是为了告诫人们孩子们在上网时应该小心谨慎。故选B。
D
You may not realize it, but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. School is also the place where you learn to get on well with people. But this is not always easy. What can you do if you just don't like one of your classmates?
If you discover that you have problems getting on with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance. Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We cannot change the way that other people do, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.
Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. Getting to know someone may help you understand why he does things differently. Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance teaches us to keep a temperate and open mind.
You need to remember an old saying, “Treat others how you want to be treated.” If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in. Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change.
It is important to practice tolerance, because it will make everyone's life easier. Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests. The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference.
12. This passage is trying to tell us ________.
A. what's important for a student
B. what students should do at school
C. how to treat people different from us
D. how to get others to do things in the right way
13. From the first paragraph we know that at school ________.
A. it's easier for someone to hate others
B. getting along with others is not difficult
C. most students are getting on well with each other
D. students are learning other things besides studying
14. What is tolerance according to the passage?
A. Accept people as they are.
B. Believe you are always right.
C. Expect everybody to be the same.
D. Change yourself to please other people.
15. The last paragraph suggests that ________.
A. tolerance can only be learnt at school
B. living with people of the same interests is easier
C. practicing tolerance at school can help make a better world
D. people in different countries have different interests and abilities
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】

【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“ Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We cannot change the way that other people do, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.”(宽容是意识到并尊重他人差异的能力。我们不能改变别人的行为方式,所以学会与他们快乐地生活是很重要的)得知,宽容是接受别人本来的样子。故选A。

第二节: 七选五(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do you often listen to music at loud volumes? You should know that this habit is bad for your hearing according to the World Health Organization(WHO).
Over 1 billion young people are at risk of hearing loss due to listening to loud noises for long periods of time, WHO said.____16____
The United Nations has standards for safe listening. It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 decibels (dB,分贝) for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes. The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock concert can be about 100 dB.
____17____ Most of us are born with about 16,000 hair cells(听毛细胞)in our inner ears. These cells detect sounds. However, listening to loud noises for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die._____18_____
Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud. ____19____For example, if you are in a noisy place like the subway, you might turn up your music too loud without realizing it. Later, when you listen to it at the same volume in a quiet place, it may sound uncomfortably loud.
WHO said the “safe level” for most sound is below 80 decibels for up to 40 hours a week. ____20____.
A. This is what causes hearing loss.
B. But this can depend on where you are.
C. Loud noises are harmful to the inner ear.
D. There are different ways to protect your hearing.
E. A level of 80 decibels is roughly equal to the noise of a subway.
F. Young people are more sensitive to different sounds than elder people.
G. Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes can harm your hearing.
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. A 19. B 20. E
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了听大音量音乐的习惯对听力有害。世界卫生组织称超过10亿的年轻人在听力方面存在问题,因为他们长时间大音量听歌等。长时间聆听大音量的声音可能会造成某些细胞的死亡。这就是人们听力损失的原因。
【16题详解】
第一段第二句提到“You should know that this habit is bad for your hearing”(你应该知道这样的习惯对你的听力有害)第一段通过询问是否有听大音量的习惯展开下文,后文里应提到一些不好的习惯,同时第二段提到“Over 1 billion young people are at risk of hearing loss due to listening to loud noises for long periods of time”(超过10亿的年轻人由于长时间听大音量的噪音而面临听力损失的风险)由此判断后文中应提到具体的伤害听力的行为。G项“听大声的音乐或观看大声的电视节目会伤害你的听力”符合语境,其中的“Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes”都是损害听力的行为,符合第二段最后一句引起下文的作用,故选G。
【17题详解】
该空处需选择一句段首总起句。第四段第二句提到“Most of us are born with about 16,000 hair cells(听毛细胞)in our inner ears.”(我们大多数人出生时内耳中大约有16000个听毛细胞)可知,本段主要讲述大音量对内耳的伤害。C项“大噪音对内耳有伤害”符合语境,其中the inner ear与后文一致,故选C。
【18题详解】
该空处需选择一句段尾总结句。前文“listening to loud noises for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die.”(长时间听大噪音会使这些细胞工作过度,导致其中一些细胞死亡)提到了听毛细胞死亡的原因,A项“这就是造成听力损失的东西”复合语境,“hearing loss”是关键词,与上文构成明显的因果关系,故选A。
【19题详解】
该段段首句提到“Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud.”(有些人可能认为他们的音乐不是那么大声)并在后文中列举了两个地点“subway”(地铁)和“a quiet place”(一个安静的地方),由此判断在不同地方的音量给人的感觉有所不同。B项“但这取决你所在的地方”符合语境,其中的but与上下文是转折关系,且该选项中的“where you are”对应后文中的两个地点。故选B。
【20题详解】
最后一段第一句提到“WHO said the “safe level” for most sound is below 80 decibels for up to 40 hours a week.”(世界卫生组织表示,大多数声音的“安全水平”是低于80分贝,每周持续40小时)由此可知,E项“80分贝的音量大致相当于地铁的噪音。”符合语境,其中的“A level of 80 decibels”与前文中提到的“80 decibels”一致,且E项是对前文safe level的解释说明。故选E。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A funny thing happened to Arthur when he was on the way to work one day. As he walked along Park Avenue near the First National Bank, he heard the sound of someone trying to start a car. He tried again and again but couldn’t get the car moving. Arthur turned and looked inside at the face of a young man who looked worried.
Arthur stopped and said, “It looks like you’ve got a problem.”
“I’m afraid so. I’m in a big hurry but I can’t start my car.”
“Is there something I can do to help?” Arthur asked. The young man looked at the two suitcases in the back seat and then said, “Thanks. If you’re sure it wouldn’t be too much trouble, you could help me get these suitcases into a taxi.”
“No trouble at all. I’d be glad to help.”
The young man got out and took one of the suitcases from the back seat. After placing it on the ground, he turned to get the other one. Just as Arthur picked up the first suitcase and started walking, he heard the long loud noise of an alarm.
It was from the bank. There had been a robbery (抢劫)!
Park Avenue had been quiet a moment before. Now the air was filled with the sound of the alarm and the shouts of people running from all directions. Cars stopped and the passengers joined the crowd in front of the bank. People asked each other, “What happened?” But everyone had a different answer.
Arthur still carrying the suitcase, turned to look at the bank and walked right into a young woman in front of him.
She looked at the suitcase and then at him. Arthur was surprised. “Why is she looking at me like that?” he thought. “The suitcase! She thinks I’m the bank thief!”
Arthur looked around at the crowd of people. He became frightened, and without another thought, he started to run.
注意:续写的词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
As he was running, Arthur heard the young man shouting behind, “Stop! Stop!” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The taxi stopped in front of the police station. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 As he was running, Arthur heard the young man shouting behind, “Stop, stop!” “Give my suitcase back to me!” Hearing this, Arthur immediately realized that the young man was the bank thief. So he continued running until he stopped a taxi. Then he quickly got into it and sat in the back seat. Out of breath, Arthur said to the taxi driver, “Please go to the Police Station as soon as possible. I have a robbery to report to the policeman.” The moment the taxi driver got the request, he drove straight to the police station without hesitation.
The taxi stopped in front of the Police Station. Arthur ran into it, shouting, “There is a bank robbery and I know who the bank thief is.” On hearing Arthur’s story, the policeman decided to head for the bank to investigate the case. However, just at that moment, the young man came to the police station in a hurry. Out of breath, He told the whole story. As a matter of fact, he was not the bank thief and what in the suitcase were only some clothes. How embarrassed Arthur was when he learned the truth!
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Arthur在街上遇到一个司机发动车子有困难,他上前提供帮助,帮助司机拿箱子,这时正好碰到银行警报响起,有人在抢劫银行。Arthur拿着箱子的时候被一个女人盯着,因此Arthur认为别人误以为自己是抢劫犯,情急之下,他带着司机的箱子就开始跑起来。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“亚瑟跑着的时候,听到那个年轻人在后面大喊:“停下!停下!””和第二段首句“出租车停在警察局门口。”可知,第一段可描写亚瑟认为年轻人就是盗贼,于是乘坐出租车到警察局报案。
②由第二段首句内容“出租车停在警察局门口。”可知,第二段可描写亚瑟到警察局报案,年轻人也赶到讲述了整个过程,事实上,他不是银行窃贼,箱子里只有一些衣服。
2.续写线索:认为年轻人是盗贼——乘出租车到警察局——报案——年轻人赶到——讲述事实——尴尬
3.词汇激活行为类
①意识到:realize/be aware
②决定:decide/determine
③前往:head for/leave for
情绪类
①尴尬的:embarrassed/awkward
犹豫:hesitation/hesitate
【点睛】[高分句型1] Hearing this, Arthur immediately realized that the young man was the bank thief.(运用了非谓语动词作状语和that引导的宾语从句)

“Why?” It’s a simple question that people ask Angela Madeline frequently. After all, she began a journey that very few people would ever attempt: walk around the world alone.
The thought of Madeline’s journey did not start from a place of loss or personal crisis. She said, “I was searching for a deeper interaction with nature and people.” Walking would minimize her carbon footprint, plus the slow pace meant that she could fully engage herself in nature, and gain insights into other cultures in a unique way.
She left her hometown of Bend, Oregon, on 2 May 2016 and headed into an adventure. Along the way, Madeline would suffer from heatstroke (中暑) in the Australian desert and hear gunshots while camping in Turkey. “Still,” she said, “I didn’t stop because I was more afraid of not following my heart than I was of losing everything I owned and loved.”
Apart from that, her slow pace allowed her to be drawn deeply into other cultures. She wandered the tiny seaside villages along Italy Tyrthenian Sea, enjoying the lively atmosphere. In Vietnam, she was offered food by an elderly woman and invited to rest in her wooden house at the peak for the night. She chose an experience of uncertainty and curiosity, in search of something she could never be certain to find: a sense of fulfillment and a deeper connection.
On16 December 2022, Madeline’s pilgrimage (朝圣之旅) ended right where it started. For now, she’s working on a book, planning future journeys and creating more effective ways for women to find and express courage in their lives.
Whether a walk leads halfway around the world or just down the road, Madeline has shown the true worth of embracing (拥抱) the unknown and giving more than we receive along the way.
4. Why did Madeline decide to start her journey?
A. To get rid of personal crisis. B. To get closer to the world.
C. To reduce carbon footprint. D. To slow down the pace of life.
5. What can we know about Madeline during the journey?
A. She was about to give up. B. She was helped by Italian locals.
C. She experienced various cultures. D. She enjoyed Australian coastal scenery.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Madeline?
A. Cautious and gentle. B. Tough and adventurous.
C. Outgoing and generous. D. Open-minded and humorous.
7. What’s this text mainly about?
A. A new way to slow down life. B. A closer connection with the wild.
C. An unforgettable memory of a trip. D. A woman walking around the world.

For many kids, the Internet is at their fingertips. From computers to smartphones, a web of information is open to them. According to a new report from the Pew Research Centre, about three out of four kids aged 12 to 15 connect the Internet using a mobile device from time to time. Many younger kids are online too.
Julian Zeitlinger, 9, from New Jersey, uses his computer to watch videos and play games. To keep him safe online, his parents monitor his web use and discuss Internet safety with him. “I ask my parents if something is wrong.” Julian says. Mobile devices offer more ways than ever to share personal information. The information can be dangerous in the wrong hands. A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience.
Have you ever had to enter a parent’s e-mail address when signing up for a website? That safety measure is there because of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The law says sites for kids under 13 cannot collect personal information, such as a phone number or full name, without a parent’s permission.
This July, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will update COPPA for the first time since the law was created in 1998 when there were no smartphones. “The nature of the way kids get online has changed,” FTC lawyer Phyllis Marcus said. When the changes take effect,COPPA will apply to(适用于) mobile devices and newer forms of advertising. It will expand what falls under “personal information” to include videos, photographs and services that give out users’ location.
COPPA doesn’t cover everything that can go wrong online. That’s why kids and parents need to know what to look out for and to stop and think before sharing information online.
“There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA, it is totally safe,” says privacy expert Shai Samet. He runs KidSAFE, which checks if a site meets KidSAFE standards and is safe. “It’s important that kids know how useful the Internet is but that it can also be dangerous if you are not careful,” he adds.
8. Julian’s parents check his web use to make sure ________.
A. he doesn’t watch too many videos B. he doesn’t play computer games
C. he stays safe on the Internet D. he controls his online time
9. How does the author explain children’s unpleasant online experiences?
A. By describing his own experiences. B. By presenting scientific research.
C. By showing differences. D. By using examples.
10. People often hold the wrong idea that ________.
A. formal weteites are always safe B. the Internet is becoming safer and safer
C. COPPA can ensure their complete safety D. daily checks prevent future online problems
11. What’s the main purpose of the text?
A. To ask parents to look out for their kids. B. To tell people to be careful online.
C. To offer tips on online safety. D. To introduce an online law.
D
You may not realize it, but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. School is also the place where you learn to get on well with people. But this is not always easy. What can you do if you just don't like one of your classmates?
If you discover that you have problems getting on with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance. Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We cannot change the way that other people do, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.
Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. Getting to know someone may help you understand why he does things differently. Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance teaches us to keep a temperate and open mind.
You need to remember an old saying, “Treat others how you want to be treated.” If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in. Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change.
It is important to practice tolerance, because it will make everyone's life easier. Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests. The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference.
12. This passage is trying to tell us ________.
A. what's important for a student
B. what students should do at school
C. how to treat people different from us
D. how to get others to do things in the right way
13. From the first paragraph we know that at school ________.
A. it's easier for someone to hate others
B. getting along with others is not difficult
C. most students are getting on well with each other
D. students are learning other things besides studying
14. What is tolerance according to the passage?
A. Accept people as they are.
B. Believe you are always right.
C. Expect everybody to be the same.
D. Change yourself to please other people.
15. The last paragraph suggests that ________.
A. tolerance can only be learnt at school
B. living with people of the same interests is easier
C. practicing tolerance at school can help make a better world

A funny thing happened to Arthur when he was on the way to work one day. As he walked along Park Avenue near the First National Bank, he heard the sound of someone trying to start a car. He tried again and again but couldn’t get the car moving. Arthur turned and looked inside at the face of a young man who looked worried.
Arthur stopped and said, “It looks like you’ve got a problem.”
“I’m afraid so. I’m in a big hurry but I can’t start my car.”
“Is there something I can do to help?” Arthur asked. The young man looked at the two suitcases in the back seat and then said, “Thanks. If you’re sure it wouldn’t be too much trouble, you could help me get these suitcases into a taxi.”
“No trouble at all. I’d be glad to help.”
The young man got out and took one of the suitcases from the back seat. After placing it on the ground, he turned to get the other one. Just as Arthur picked up the first suitcase and started walking, he heard the long loud noise of an alarm.
It was from the bank. There had been a robbery (抢劫)!
Park Avenue had been quiet a moment before. Now the air was filled with the sound of the alarm and the shouts of people running from all directions. Cars stopped and the passengers joined the crowd in front of the bank. People asked each other, “What happened?” But everyone had a different answer.
Arthur still carrying the suitcase, turned to look at the bank and walked right into a young woman in front of him.
She looked at the suitcase and then at him. Arthur was surprised. “Why is she looking at me like that?” he thought. “The suitcase! She thinks I’m the bank thief!”
Arthur looked around at the crowd of people. He became frightened, and without another thought, he started to run.
