After a whole week of rain, we finally had a comfortable, beautiful summer day outside. My family and I were driving to a nearby town when my daughter found a yard sale. We saw old toys and some guitars. We saw a lot of clothes and even a piece of furniture or two for sale. Best of all, we saw lots of smiling people talking, laughing, sitting and standing in the sunshine.
Seeing all of this brought back memories (回忆) of my childhood. Most of my clothes back then came from yard sales. My mom was a gifted yard sale shopper. I hated going to them in the past until one special day when I saw that they also sold old books there. After that, I always read the books until it was time to go and sometimes my mom would buy me one, too. Soon a large part of my home library came from yard sale books. To me, they were more priceless than new ones.
Why do we have yard sales? We get rid of (摆脱) our old things and we buy “new” things. But it certainly isn’t for the money. It’s yard sales that bring us together. We talk and catch up with old friends and new neighbors. We connect (连接) with kindness and our love for all the old stuff (物品).
I think yard sales also teach us something about life. We can’t really own anything here, after all. All we get is to have the stuff for some time. Then it is time to let it go and pass it on.
23. What made the writer start enjoying yard sales?
A. She found old books there. B. Her mom liked yard sales.
C. She found her gifts there. D. She saw smiling people.
24. Why did the writer use quotation marks (双引号) for “new” in Paragraph 3?
A. To show the excitement of finding special stuff.
B. To draw people’s attention (引起注意).
C To show that the stuff was not really new.
D. To show that the stuff was expensive or special.
25. According to the writer, what is the main reason why people have yard sales?
A. To make money. B. To get rid of old things.
C. To find cheap stuff. D. To connect with others.
26. What lesson does the writer tell us about stuff?
A. We can own things forever. B. We should keep everything we buy.
C. We need to let go and pass things on. D. We should forget the past and face forward.
【答案】23. A 24. C 25. D 26. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在庭院销售中学到的生活道理。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“My mom was a gifted yard sale shopper. I hated going to them in the past until one special day when I saw that they also sold old books there.”可知,我过去讨厌去他们那里,直到有一天我看到他们也卖旧书。由此可知,作者开始喜欢庭院销售,是因为作者在那儿发现了旧书。故选A。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“We get rid of (摆脱) our old things and we buy ‘new’ things.”可见,作者使用引号,是为了表明这些东西实际上并不是全新的,和前面的“old things”对应。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But it certainly isn’t for the money. It’s yard sales that bring us together. We talk and catch up with old friends and new neighbors. We connect (连接) with kindness and our love for all the old stuff (物品).”可知,旧货拍卖让我们走到了一起;我们聊天,与老朋友和新邻居叙旧。我们用善意和对所有旧事物的爱联系在一起。由此可知,人们进行庭院销售是为了与他人联系。故选D。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“All we get is to have the stuff for some time. Then it is time to let it go and pass it on.”可知,庭院销售让我们懂得,我们需要对一些物品放手,并把它们传递给别人。故选C。

Should Museum Entry Be Free?
With International Museum Day coming up, today we are asking readers: Should museums be free or should people have to pay for a ticket? Let us know your view.
Comments:
Free entry does not attract people or encourage them to enjoy art. Generally, people respect things that are difficult or costly to get. Museums should ask regular visitors to pay a fee, but provide free tickets as prizes for high-achieving students who can enjoy them more.
—Fred Smith (New Zealand), 14
Museums are not only there for enjoyment. They are educational. This is why they must be free. While museums need a large amount of money to run, let the rich pay for it. The idea of a person or a child interested in art not being able to visit it because of cost is wrong.
—Krista Chen (the US), 15
Museums teach people about their past. This is part of our shared culture that should be available to everyone, rich or poor. People should never be asked to pay an entrance fee.
—Rob Sanchez (Australia), 17
There are no simple answers. Low ticket prices could help museums stay open. But companies and businessmen should also provide museums with more money and other support. They have a social responsibility (责任), too.
—Amber White (the UK), 16
I think museums and art galleries should be all free to the public. I do, however, think twice a year the museums should organize money—raising events to help pay for the cost of staying open.
—Li Mishao (China), 15
27. How many readers agree with the idea of free museums?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
28. Who advises museums should regularly hold special events to collect money?
A. Krista Chen. B. Fred Smith. C. Rob Sanchez. D. Li Mishao.
29. Why does Fred Smith believe that free tickets should be given to high-achieving students?
A. Students will then study harder.
B. Museums will attract more visitors.
C. Museums can make themselves more famous.
D. These students can better enjoy museums.
30. Which of the following does Amber White agree with?
A. Businessmen should offer museums more help.
B. People should only pay what they can afford.
C. Free entry doesn’t encourage visitors to museums.
D. Everybody should have a chance to visit museums.
【答案】27. B 28. D 29. D 30. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要呈现了来自不同国家的几位读者对于博物馆是否应该免费开放这一问题的观点和看法。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据各位读者的观点,Krista Chen、Rob Sanchez和Li Mishao均支持博物馆免费开放,共三位,所以同意博物馆免费的读者有三位。故选B。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据Li Mishao的观点“I do, however, think twice a year the museums should organize money—raising events to help pay for the cost of staying open.”可知,他建议博物馆定期举办特别活动来筹集资金。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据Fred Smith的观点“but provide free tickets as prizes for high-achieving students who can enjoy them more.”可知,他认为应给成绩优异的学生免费门票是因为这些学生能更好地欣赏博物馆。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据Amber White的观点“But companies and businessmen should also provide museums with more money and other support.”可知,她认为商人应该给博物馆提供更多帮助。故选A。

I am Lisa. Last summer, I joined a volunteer program organized by my school. I spent two weeks in a small village in the mountains. The village was very beautiful, with green hills and clear rivers, but life there was simple and hard. The children in the village only had one small school with old desks and chairs. Many of them didn’t have plenty of books or proper clothes for the cold weather.
My job was to teach English and organize activities for the children. Every morning I taught basic English words and phrases, and in the afternoon, I played games and told stories. The children loved learning new things, so they looked forward to my lessons every day.
During my free time, I helped the villagers with their farm work. I also learned how to plant corn. The villagers were very kind and invited me to their homes for meals. On my last day in the village, the children hugged me and cried, their faces wet with tears. I was deeply moved. What an unforgettable experience I’ve ever had!

Ben is surprised and he watches Tom paint slowly and carefully, and he often smiles. He looks happy and even sings songs. At this time, “Tom. Let me paint a little,” says Ben.
Tom looks at Ben and says, “I’m really sorry, Ben. You know, I‘’m very good at painting. My brother Sid wants to do it, but he’s not good at painting.”
“Oh, Tom, let me try, you can have my apple.”
Tom is happy, but he doesn’t smile. “OK, Ben.”
Then Tom’s other friends come by. They watch Tom paint and they all want to try too. They give Tom a new kite, a cat, an old knife.
Tom’s friends paint the big fence, and Tom just sits under the big tree and watches them.

After a whole week of rain, we finally had a comfortable, beautiful summer day outside. My family and I were driving to a nearby town when my daughter found a yard sale. We saw old toys and some guitars. We saw a lot of clothes and even a piece of furniture or two for sale. Best of all, we saw lots of smiling people talking, laughing, sitting and standing in the sunshine.
Seeing all of this brought back memories (回忆) of my childhood. Most of my clothes back then came from yard sales. My mom was a gifted yard sale shopper. I hated going to them in the past until one special day when I saw that they also sold old books there. After that, I always read the books until it was time to go and sometimes my mom would buy me one, too. Soon a large part of my home library came from yard sale books. To me, they were more priceless than new ones.
Why do we have yard sales? We get rid of (摆脱) our old things and we buy “new” things. But it certainly isn’t for the money. It’s yard sales that bring us together. We talk and catch up with old friends and new neighbors. We connect (连接) with kindness and our love for all the old stuff (物品).
I think yard sales also teach us something about life. We can’t really own anything here, after all. All we get is to have the stuff for some time. Then it is time to let it go and pass it on.
23. What made the writer start enjoying yard sales?
A. She found old books there. B. Her mom liked yard sales.
C. She found her gifts there. D. She saw smiling people.
24. Why did the writer use quotation marks (双引号) for “new” in Paragraph 3?
A To show the excitement of finding special stuff.
B. To draw people’s attention (引起注意).
C. To show that the stuff was not really new.
D. To show that the stuff was expensive or special.
25. According to the writer, what is the main reason why people have yard sales?
A. To make money. B. To get rid of old things.
C. To find cheap stuff. D. To connect with others.
26. What lesson does the writer tell us about stuff?
A. We can own things forever. B. We should keep everything we buy.
C. We need to let go and pass things on. D. We should forget the past and face forward.

Should Museum Entry Be Free?
With International Museum Day coming up, today we are asking readers: Should museums be free or should people have to pay for a ticket? Let us know your view.
Comments:
Free entry does not attract people or encourage them to enjoy art. Generally, people respect things that are difficult or costly to get. Museums should ask regular visitors to pay a fee, but provide free tickets as prizes for high-achieving students who can enjoy them more.
—Fred Smith (New Zealand), 14
Museums are not only there for enjoyment. They are educational. This is why they must be free. While museums need a large amount of money to run, let the rich pay for it. The idea of a person or a child interested in art not being able to visit it because of cost is wrong.
—Krista Chen (the US), 15
Museums teach people about their past. This is part of our shared culture that should be available to everyone, rich or poor. People should never be asked to pay an entrance fee.
—Rob Sanchez (Australia), 17
There are no simple answers. Low ticket prices could help museums stay open. But companies and businessmen should also provide museums with more money and other support. They have a social responsibility (责任), too.
—Amber White (the UK), 16
I think museums and art galleries should be all free to the public. I do, however, think twice a year the museums should organize money—raising events to help pay for the cost of staying open.
—Li Mishao (China), 15
27. How many readers agree with the idea of free museums?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
28. Who advises museums should regularly hold special events to collect money?
A. Krista Chen. B. Fred Smith. C. Rob Sanchez. D. Li Mishao.
29. Why does Fred Smith believe that free tickets should be given to high-achieving students?
A. Students will then study harder.
B. Museums will attract more visitors.
C. Museums can make themselves more famous.
D. These students can better enjoy museums.
30. Which of the following does Amber White agree with?
A. Businessmen should offer museums more help.
B. People should only pay what they can afford.
C. Free entry doesn’t encourage visitors to museums.
D. Everybody should have a chance to visit museums.

七、阅读表达(共5小题,满分10分)
阅读短文,根据要求完成下列小题。
I am Lisa. Last summer, I joined a volunteer program organized by my school. I spent two weeks in a small village in the mountains. The village was very beautiful, with green hills and clear rivers, but life there was simple and hard. The children in the village only had one small school with old desks and chairs. Many of them didn’t have plenty of books or proper clothes for the cold weather.
My job was to teach English and organize activities for the children. Every morning, I taught basic English words and phrases, and in the afternoon, I played games and told stories. The children loved learning new things, so they looked forward to my lessons every day.
During my free time, I helped the villagers with their farm work. I also learned how to plant corn. The villagers were very kind and invited me to their homes for meals. On my last day in the village, the children hugged me and cried, their faces wet with tears. I was deeply moved. What an unforgettable experience I’ve ever had!
