Passage 1
Dear Jenny,
I really like the idea of adding a new column to our English newspaper.As for adding “Fun at my school” or “Guess who I am”,I prefer the former.The reasons for my choice are as follows.
First and foremost,the students,who have a busy schedule and feel stressed every day,will enjoy the column“Fun at my school”,which can provide them with a moment of delight and relaxation.Furthermore,the students can be offered a window to know more about our school and the interesting side of our study life.What comes next is that “Fun at my school” will help the students deepen their love for our school and study life.
I would appreciate it if my idea could be taken into account and adopted.
Yours,
Li Hua

Passage 3
Dear Jim,
Im glad to hear youre going to participate in the proposal-collection activity by the UN.Its a fantastic opportunity, and here are some suggestions for you.
To start with, it is crucial that we should promote the adoption of sustainable energy sources.In todays world, traditional energy sources are causing environmental problems.By using more solar, wind and hydro-power, we can significantly reduce pollution and protect our planet.Moreover, advocating cultural exchange among teenagers globally is also an excellent idea.Such initiatives not only break down cultural barriers but also foster mutual understanding and friendship across nations.
I sincerely hope these ideas will offer valuable help to you.May you achieve great success in this meaningful activity!
Yours,
Li Hua

Passage 4
Dear Chris,
Im writing to share with you an art class I had in a park last Friday.Informed that I would have an art class in a park instead of in the classroom,I felt thrilled and delighted.
Hardly had we entered the park when we were amazed by the terrific scene of lovely butterflies and birds flying among beautiful trees and flowers.Meanwhile,many people were taking exercise,such as practicing taichi and performing square dances.I took out my tools and began to create a painting to mark the peaceful and harmonious scene.
This art class left me wanting more art classes like this,where I feel more relaxed and creative.I hope my description can give you a glimpse of my unique art class.Best wishes to you!
Yours,
Li Hua

Passage 5
Dear Jim,
Knowing you want to contribute to your school newspaper to introduce the achievements of Chinese development,I have the pleasure of giving you some advice.
Founded 75 years ago,the Peoples Republic of China has developed swiftly and made great achievements.You can take the following aspects into consideration.Firstly,Chinese people have made great progress in economy.Moreover,with the development of science and technology,numerous Chinese spacecraft,several manned ones included,have been launched to explore outer space.Lastly,the Chinese government has managed to reduce pollution,protect ecology,and save energy,making the environment more suitable for human beings to live in.
I hope you will find my suggestions useful for your article.
Yours,
Li Hua

Passage 6
Good morning,dear teachers and fellow students!
Im Li Jin from Chenguang Middle School.Today,Im delighted to address you on the theme of “Low Carbon Campus:Starting from Me”.
As we walk around our campus,we often see practices that go against the principles of low carbon living.Lights and fans are frequently left on in empty classrooms,water taps are not turned off properly,and paper and food waste are especially serious.These small acts,though seemingly insignificant,contribute to a larger environmental impact.
To make our campus truly low-carbon,we can start from ourselves now.Lets make it a habit to turn off lights,fans,and other electrical appliances when they are not in use.Not only does this save electricity,but it also reduces our carbon footprint.Besides,be mindful of our water usage.When going around the campus,we can choose to walk or ride a bike instead of taking motor vehicles.
Together,we can make a difference and pave the way for a greener future.
Thank you for your attention!

Passage 7
Dear Ryan,
Im Li Hua from Class 3.Knowing there is a golden opportunity for us to improve our spoken English,how delighted I am!However,it is doubtful whether the method of grouping in pairs randomly will be effective.
If the two students paired together are both poor in spoken English,it will be challenging for them to carry on the practice.If we keep the fixed grouping mode,there will be limited space for our improvement.Therefore,a more thoughtful grouping method can be adopted,such as grouping students according to our English levels,verbal performance,or interest,which will surely enhance our confidence and enable us to interact with each other more effectively.
Id appreciate it if you could take my suggestions into consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Dear Jim,
Hearing that you are planning a club activity with the theme of “Green Beijing” and need my help, I am writing to offer you my suggestions.
I think you can carry out this activity in an interactive and experiential manner, which means students can participate and have a better understanding of “Green Beijing” through getting involved in different activities by themselves. You can showcase garbage classification on site, plant trees and publicize sharing economy, which will all fit into the theme of “Green Beijing”.
Hopefully, you will get some inspiration from my suggestions. Wish you success.

Learning A New Skill
This summer,I decided to learn photography,and it turned out to be an amazing experience.
Having researched different cameras and techniques,I enrolled in an online course to learn the basics of composition and lighting.Challenging as it was at first,with practice and determination,I made progress gradually.During the learning process,I encountered difficulties like understanding manual settings and capturing the perfect shot.However,instead of giving up,I sought guidance from experienced photographers who helped me overcome the challenges.
Learning photography has allowed me not only to see the world from a different perspective,but also to appreciate the beauty in everyday life.

Be smart online learners
As we all know,time is rather limited in todays society and the online courses break the limitation of time and space,providing us with great convenience to study.Thus,its popularity is easy to foresee and understand.
However,there also exist some disadvantages.Online learning does harm to our eyesight.Apart from that,the outcome of study cant be guaranteed,especially for those who lack self-control.Moreover,the atmosphere of the class is not warm enough,which leads to a lack of communication between teachers and students.
In my opinion,if you can take full advantage of every possible means appropriately to study with self-discipline,it wont matter whether you study online or in the classroom.I do hope all of us can be smart online learners.

My Weekend
Last weekend,my classmates and I went to a farm to pick grapes.The grape farm is located at the foot of a hill,where lies a small river.We were stuck by the beauty of the scenery.
Grapes grown on this farm were big and sweet.We couldnt help eating grapes while picking them,as we were told the grapes hadnt been treated with pesticides.Meanwhile,several girls sang some sweet songs,which made us feel less exhausted.
On the way back home,we were worn out.However,we hoped we could have chances to come back again,because physical labor not only exercises our body,but also makes us cherish the fruits of labor.

书信(邮件)写作四步法
英语书信(邮件)的写作主要包括4个方面的内容:称呼、正文、礼貌性结尾、寄信人或写邮件人的签名。
第一步:称呼
怎么写称呼?一般就是Dear...,Dear后面怎么写, 这取决于收信人是谁,取决于写信人和收信人之间的关系。如 “Dear Mary”“Dear Sir”“Dear Mrs. Price”等。如果关系比较亲密的话,你也可以直接称呼姓名,如“Hi Kelly”等。
第二步:正文
正文要开门见山,提出写信的目的,表明信的性质。该部分要根据题目的要求适当增加相关的细节及关联词语,这样既能做到要点全面,又能使所写的文章语言流畅,衔接自然。
第三步:礼貌性的套话
这些客套话一般都是焦急期待回信的话。如:I am looking forward to seeing you. / I hope to hear from you soon.等语句。另外,根据行文需要,可以适当增加相关内容。
第四步:签名
签名时注意不要签自己的真名,按照题目的要求来署名。

对问题持什么看法,要明确表态。对尚未认识清楚的问题,要实事求是地说明; 如果是汇报性的发言,要中心明确,重点突出,不必面面俱到。
(2)条理清晰
一篇发言稿要谈几方面的问题,每一方面的问题要讲哪些条目都要安排得有条有理,让人听起来容易抓住重点。
(3)语言简洁
发言要直接面向听众,所以语言一定要简洁明快,尽量不使用啰唆的句子,更不要使用一些深奥的词句,最好运用大众语言。

I know how I achieved my success.It came from good planning and better doing combined.

开放作文写作指导
写作时要注意以下几点:
(1)紧扣主题,大胆想象。既不能空洞无物,又不能事无巨细,写成流水账。要开动脑筋,大胆设想,想象出新颖奇妙而又意味深长的故事来。当然,这些都应该是立足于现实生活的想象,都是合乎情理的想象,而不是胡思乱想。
(2)逻辑清晰,层次分明。开放性作文一般分为三部分:开头段点明全文的主题或者自己的立场、观点或看法;中间段落(一般为一至二段)为展开段,主要围绕主题进行描写或阐述自己持某种看法的理由。最后为结束段,说明自己的整体感受或重申自己的观点,与开头照应。在写作的过程中,要注意使用有效的连接手段(即过渡词),以使行文流畅、语义连贯。
(3)语言规范,交际得体。正确、规范、得体地使用语言是确定文章档次的首要考虑因素。

图表作文写作指导
(1)观察图中事
图画作文属于材料作文,读懂图画就是读懂材料,所以首先要理解画意。因此,拿到作文后,先不要急于去写,而是要认真审题,尽力明确题目的要求和内容。然后仔细观察图中人物及其所做的事情,了解事情发生的环境、地点,从景物和人物的衣着,来判断事情发生的时间;细看人物的穿戴和身材,猜猜人物的身份、年龄和职业。同时要弄清楚图与图之间的内在联系。
(2)推敲图中意
图画的构思尽管巧妙,但内容指向十分清楚,画家总是有感而画,总是针对生活中某一类现象发表看法,如果不理解画意,文章必然会偏离题意。因此,要想一想,图上画的是一件什么事物,对画面所表达的主要内容先有一个大概的了解。再细看画面,想一想他们在干什么,是怎样干的;细看人物的表情,想一想人物的思想感情。然后想一想整幅图画说明一个什么问题,作者画这幅画的目的是什么。
(3)提炼主题
根据图画进行联想与想象,变换角度看图画,联系现实挖掘图画的最佳寓意,提炼出自己的主题。主题一定要与所供图画的内容紧密相关,否则就会离题,就不是看图作文了。主题要明确,不能含糊,用语要简洁。这一步很重要,因为主题是文章的灵魂和统帅,主题的正确与否,关系到文章的成败。
(4)构思成文
确定了文章的主题、内容和结构以后,下一步要做的就是发挥想象力,尽力搜索写作所需要的词语及句型,根据要求联想,综合构思成文。

In a class discussion,I was invited to explain the meaning of my name.“Qiuyu means ‘autumn rain’ in Chinese and carries a special charm in Chinese culture,” I began,with my voice trembling.“Autumn is when crops ripen,while rain brings life and peace.Together,Qiuyu symbolizes a gentle and refreshing presence after the heat of summer.My parents chose this name in the expectation that Id bring calm and renewal to peoples lives.”As I spoke,the professor sounded out “Qiuyu” gently,and the class echoed softly.This time no giggles broke the silence—just nods admiring with curiosity and respect.I realized that correcting pronunciation wasnt the point;sharing the story behind my name was what truly bridged cultures.
Many of my classmates got interested and came up to me after class.“Can you tell me how to write ‘Qiuyu’ in Chinese?” asked Jack,clutching a notebook.Other students were also looking at me curiously.While teaching them to write the characters,I was asked about Chinese culture and the pronunciation of other Chinese characters they know.Then one student shared what he knew about Chinese.We spent nearly an hour exchanging stories about Chinese names and traditions.From that day on,“Qiuyu” floated freely in our conversation,no longer a barrier but a bridge,connecting China and Ireland.Whenever someone mispronounced it,I would smile and say,“Let me tell you its meaning.”

I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news.Learning that the cash machine was out of order,he thought for a while and cracked a smile,saying,“Forget the fare,please.Just catch your bus.” His words hit me just like a ray of sunshine on the cold and wet evening.I just didnt know how to describe my feelings.Filled with excitement and gratitude,I expressed my sincere thanks to him and promised that I would repay him after returning to Vienna after the conference.And then we exchanged phone numbers and waved goodbye.
Four days later,when I was back in Vienna,I called Gunter as promised.After he answered my phone,I told him without his help,I would have missed my conference.Hearing I wanted to see him and repay the taxi fare,Gunter said,“You are an honest man.But please keep the money.” I insisted.So he said if I really desired to repay him,next time I saw others in need and gave them a helping hand.Frozen with great shock,I was moved by his gesture and made a decision that I would pass on his kindness to make the world full of love.

I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared.A flash of movement caught my attention.I turned around to see the same hummingbird hovering in the air.It seemed that the bird was waiting for me, its beady eyes locked on mine as if trying to convey some deep, unspoken gratitude.I felt a surge of relief and awe at the sight of this sound and grateful creature, and I knew that I would always cherish the memories we shared as I climbed into my car and drove away.

We started to meet regularly to draw up our plans. Though I wanted to share my ideas with him fully, I failed to do so for fear that I would hold him back. I just kept nodding when he asked me whether it is ok to do this way or that way. I thought it was impossible to persuade him into accepting my views, so I didnt want to waste our time to discuss. I started to wait to leave immediately we arrived at the place, and so did he. I just hoped that the presentation day could come earlier.
One day I got word that he was admitted to hospital for a serious disease. I felt so sorry to hear that and I thought I should visit him in any case. He was a little surprised to see me when I stepped into his ward with some flowers and fruits. I offered to do the rest work of our project and he invited me to share my ideas to perfect it. We began to work as a fine team and finally finished our project on time. Our hard work paid off and Dr. Hendersons was very satisfied with our wonderful findings. From this project, we also learned the significance of teammates. Just as the saying goes, one person can go far, but a group of persons can travel farther.

I understood immediately what my parents were worried about.After a moments hesitation,I opened the door and said aloud,“Dont worry,Mom.I have grown up and I can earn money to send you to the hospital.” Hearing what I said,my parents were so surprised and relieved that they hugged me tightly,tears running down their cheeks.I felt delighted and proud to lighten the burden of life for my family.As a result,I made my mind to ask for the farmer for more work.

A few minutes later, the bear headed back to our camp. Probably angered by the spray, the bear started attacking the fence even more violently. Not knowing what to do, I just stood there frozen with terror. Apparently, Elli kept a much more clear head facing this critical situation. She grabbed a big piece of garlic bread from the plate and threw it across the fence, which immediately drew the bears attention. The bear stopped pounding the fence and walked towards the bread, but he went back again in a minute when he finished the bread.
At that very moment, the helicopter arrived. The noises of the helicopter frightened the bear away, leaping clumsily into the bush. Although he disappeared temporarily, we dared not remain there any more. Climbing quickly into the helicopter, I slowly recollected myself! At our request, the helicopter circled the snowy area to follow the bear, so that we could take more photographs of the bear running through the bush. The day was really an adventure, but I thought it was worth while. The pictures taken that day were very beautiful. I felt the close-up snaps we took were worth the danger we experienced.

We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark.We got stuck in the forest.And an unexpected shower added to the difficulty of us in finding a way home,for all the tracks we had made disappeared because of the rain.I was almost on the edge of breaking down when my father said,“Dont worry,my son.I remember there is a river near the farm house.Find the river and we will be back home.” Finally,we found the river and got back to the house along it.Needless to say,we ate a late dinner.

Passage 1
(2025·全国新高考1,25分,难度★★★★)
My wife and I wanted to share our new home with family and friends by hosting a small gathering in the early summer.She had prepared lots of snacks,while my job was to have the backyard in order.
There was plenty of space for the kids to run and play.There was just one thing I hadnt counted on:My brother chose to bring his dog Toby,a 50-pound ball of fire.Though friendly,he could easily knock over my nieces small boys and my six-month-old granddaughter.So,when my brother showed up,I asked him to watch Toby and keep him outside.
My plan was working out just fine.Toby was using up his energy by running back and forth in the backyard and giving the kids plenty of room.Unexpectedly,after supper,the weather changed.It started to rain and everyone went indoors.
It was an awkward moment.I didnt want Toby to be running around in the house,and my brother wasnt happy with driving home with a wet dog.Eventually,my brother decided to leave rather than force the issue.
A few days passed,and I hadnt heard anything from my brother.I texted him and expressed wishes for him to come out again.His reply came as a surprise—a shock,actually:“Not a chance.” Clearly,he was unhappy over the way we had parted.After all,I had left him little choice.Well,hell get over it,I reasoned.
Two months passed.My wife suggested I get in touch with my brother,but I resisted,thinking he should call first.However,my conscience(良心) kept bothering me.I tried to put myself in my brothers shoes.He was facing health issues and his wife of thirty-five years had passed away a few months earlier.Toby was his constant companion,the one who kept him going.
注意:

(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I realized it was me who was at fault.
With the biscuits my wife had made,I arrived at my brothers door.
Passage 2
(2025·全国新高考2,25分,难度★★★★)
“What is your name?” is a question most frequently asked when people meet for the first time.But for me,it was the first challenge I encountered as an international student in Ireland.
The pronunciation system of the Chinese language is quite different from that of English.For native speakers of English,some Chinese words are rather difficult to pronounce.My given name Qiuyu(秋雨),for instance,happened to be a great challenge for many of them.Every time I gave a self-introduction,I had to explain how to pronounce my name at least five times,yet they still could not say it the way I did.
Once in a lecture,the professor tried repeating my name after me over and over in front of thirty classmates.I really did not know whether I should continue correcting him or simply drop the matter.I feared that my classmates might grow tired of my efforts or even lose patience with me.After all,I did care about how others would think of me.I realized that if I didnt stop,the entire lecture would be ruined.“Its okay,professor,” I shrugged (耸肩).The awkward moment ended with the class erupting into laughter.I forced a smile,unsure how to respond further.
After that incident,I stopped acting as a “Chinese teacher.” Instead of correcting others when they were struggling to pronounce my name,I just smiled and nodded approvingly.This approach spared me the discomfort of having to over-explain.However,I soon found that by doing so,I might be losing something more important:the opportunity to share a small part of my cultural identity.
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。
In a class discussion,I was invited to explain the meaning of my name.
Many of my classmates got interested and came up to me after class.
Passage 3
(2024·全国新高考1、2,25分,难度★★★★★)
I met Gunter on a cold,wet and unforgettable evening in September.I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference.Due to a big storm,my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half.I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague.The moment I got off the plane,I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought.
That was when I met Gunter.I told him where I was going,but he said he hadnt heard of the bus station.I thought my pronunciation was the problem,so I explained again more slowly,but he still looked confused.When I was about to give up,Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend.After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century,Gunter put his phone down and started the car.
Finally,with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station.Thankfully,there was a long queue(队列) still waiting to board the bus.Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus,turned around,and looked at me with a big smile on his face.“We made it,” he said.
Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet.I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard.He tried it several times,but the card machine just did not play along.A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out.
At this moment,Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station.There,at the entrance,was a cash machine.I jumped out of the car,made a mad run for the machine,and popped my card in,only to read the message: “Out of order.Sorry.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为 150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news.
Four days later,when I was back in Vienna,I called Gunter as promised.

When I was in middle school,my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest,I said no without thinking.I did not love writing.My family came from Brazil,so English was only my second language.Writing was difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play,where I played all the parts.No one laughed harder than he did.
So,why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail?His reply:“Because I love your stories.If youre willing to apply yourself,I think you have a good shot at this.”Encouraged by his words,I agreed to give it a try.
I chose Paul Reveres horse as my subject.Paul Revere was a silversmith(银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18,1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming.My story would come straight from the horses mouth.Not a brilliant idea,but funny,and unlikely to be anyone elses choice.
What did the horse think,as sped through the night?Did he get tired?Have doubts?Did he want to quit?I sympathized immediately.I got tired.I had doubts.I wanted to quit.But,like Reveres horse,I kept going.I worked hard.I checked my spelling.I asked my older sister to correct my grammar.I checked out a half-dozen books on Paul Revere from the library.I even read a few of them.
When I handed in the essay to my teacher,he read it,laughed out loud and said,“Great.Now,write it again.” I wrote it again,and again and again.When I finally finished it,the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing.If I didnt win.I wouldnt care.

Passage 5
(2023·浙江1月,25分,难度★★★)
I was invited to a cookout on an old friends farm in western Washington.I parked my car outside the farm and walked past a milking house which had apparently not been used in many years.A noise at a window caught my attention, so I entered it.It was a hummingbird(蜂鸟), desperately trying to escape.She was covered in spider-webs(蛛网) and was barely able to move her wings.She ceased her struggle the instant I picked her up.
With the bird in my cupped hand, I looked around to see how she had gotten in.The broken window glass was the likely answer.I stuffed a piece of cloth into the hole and took her outside, closing the door securely behind me.
When I opened my hand, the bird did not fly away; she sat looking at me with her bright eyes.I removed the sticky spider-webs that covered her head and wings.Still, she made no attempt to fly.Perhaps she had been struggling against the window too long and was too tired? Or too thirsty?
As I carried her up the blackberry-lined path toward my car where I kept a water bottle, she began to move.I stopped, and she soon took wing but did not immediately fly away.
Hovering(悬停), she approached within six inches of my face.For a very long moment, this tiny creature looked into my eyes, turning her head from side to side.Then she flew quickly out of sight.
During the cookout, I told my hosts about the hummingbird incident.They promised to fix the window.As I was departing, my friends walked me to my car.I was standing by the car when a hummingbird flew to the center of our group and began hovering.She turned from person to person until she came to me.She again looked directly into my eyes, then let out a squeaking call and was gone.For a moment, all were speechless.Then someone said, “She must have come to say goodbye.”

Passage 6
(2022·全国新高考1、2,25分,难度★★★★)
It was the day of the big cross-country run.Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线) through thick evergreen forest.
I looked around and finally spotted David,who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence.He was small for ten years old.His usual big toothy smile was absent today.I walked over and asked him why he wasnt with the other children.He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.
What was wrong?He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the schools coach and asked him what had happened.“I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably.“I gave him the choice to run or not,and let him decide.”
I bit back my frustration(懊恼).I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing.After making sure that David could run if he wanted,I turned to find him coming towards me,his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children,but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid.He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing.That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team.It just took him longer—thats all.David had not missed a single practice,and although he always finished his run long after the other children,he did always finish.As a special education teacher at the school,I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.

Passage 7
(2022·浙江1月,25分,难度★★★)
When Dr. Henderson was assigning(指定) project mates for his psychology class, I secretly hoped he would pair me with my best friend or at least a classmate I could have some fun with. Above all, I hoped he wouldnt assign me to work with the fiercely competitive, extremely serious fellow who always wore dark clothes and apparently had a personality to match. As fate (命运) would have it, Dr. Henderson very deliberately matched everyone in class and announced that I would be working with the one person in class I wanted to avoid.
I went up to my new teammate and introduced myself. He looked at me as though I werent there. I felt he treated me as though I would hold him back and probably make him fail to get an A in the course. He wasnt mean or abusive; he just gave me the impression he could do whatever project we dreamed up better if he did it alone.
Needless to say, I didnt look forward to an entire term of being brushed off, but I tried to make the best of it and didnt say anything for fear that I would make things worse.
The project required each team to develop a hypothesis (假说), set up an experiment to test the hypothesis, do the statistical analysis and present the findings. Whatever grade the team received would be shared by both students.
When my teammate and I met to discuss our project, I was uneasy. Here was this challenging student who had a reputation for single-mindedness and good grades—the exact opposite of me. I was outmatched. I actually wanted to drop the class at one point, but stopped short because I didnt want to give him the satisfaction of my chickening out. I decided to stick to it no matter what.
After long discussions we somehow agreed to do a study on the psychological well-being of teenagers. I wasnt sure what it meant exactly, but at least we had a topic.

Passage 8
(2022·浙江,25分,难度★★★★)
I needed to do something in my community(社区)in order to complete the community service hours required to graduate from high school.Some of my friends had signed up to spend time at a soup kitchen,so I did,too.It seemed like a good thing to do.
I thought that we would just be passing out dinners to those in need,but I found out we would be doing everything from preparing to serving the dinner.We began preparing the food,from mixing salad dressing to separating frozen meat.Much still needed to be done before dinner was served,but already outside the building many homeless people were gathering.It wasnt until a couple of hours later that we opened the doors and began serving dinner.
As the line of people came toward me,I got a little scared.Id come face to face with the homeless: How should I act?How would they treat me?Would they hate me for having more than they did?While some of the people looked very friendly,some of them looked so dangerous.I didnt have too much time to worry about it.I was assigned(分配)to serve the salad with the lady next to me.She smiled at me and said if I needed help,shed be right there,which I found quite comforting.
I had never seen so many people wanting food.They were of all ages and nationalities.Most of them wore clothes that were torn and dirty.Some looked like they had totally given up on life,while others seemed to be making the best of the situation,smiling and joking.Some were better off than others,but they all needed a good meal to eat and a warm place to live in.It saddened me to think of how many people there were who didnt have a place to call home and the only food they got came from a soup kitchen.

A MOTHERS DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mothers Day.How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed.They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge.They had watched their mother in the kitchen.There was nothing to it.Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last.The alarm rang at 6 a.m.The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen.They decided to boil the porridge first.They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast.Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk.Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture.Next,Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan.Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread.The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds.Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread.This time,she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake.The next minute,the porridge boiled over and put out the fire.Jenna panicked.Thankfully,Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly.But the stove was a mess now.Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge.But Jeffs hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain.Jenna made him put his hand in cold water.Then she caught the smell of burning.Oh dear!The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.

Passage 10
(2021·浙江,25分,难度★★★★)
My dad,George,only had an eighth grade education.A quiet man,he didnt understand my world of school activities.From age 14,he worked.And his dad,Albert,took the money my dad earned and used it to pay family expenses.
I didnt really understand his world either:He was a livestock trucker,and I thought that I would surpass (超过) anything he had accomplished by the time I walked across the stage at high school graduation.
Summers in the mid-70s were spent at home shooting baskets,hitting a baseball,or throwing a football,preparing for my future as a quarterback on a football team.In poor weather,I read about sports or practiced my trombone (长号).
The summer before my eighth grade I was one of a group of boys that a neighboring farmer hired to work in his field.He explained our basic task,the tractor fired up and we were off,riding down the field looking for weeds to spray with chemicals.After a short way,the farmer stopped and pointed at a weed which we missed.Then we began again.This happened over and over,but we soon learned to identify different grasses like cockleburs,lambs-quarters,foxtails,and the king of weeds,the pretty purple thistle.It was tiring work,but I looked forward to the pay,even though I wasnt sure how much it would amount to.
At home,my dad said,“A jobs a big step to growing up.Im glad you will be contributing to the household.” My dads words made me realize that my earnings might not be mine to do with as I wished.
My labors lasted about two weeks,and the farmer said there might be more work,but I wasnt interested.I decided it was not fair that I had to contribute my money.

Passage 11
(2020·山东,25分,难度★★★)
The Meredith family lived in a small community.As the economy was in decline,some people in the town had lost their jobs.Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet.People were trying to help each other meet the challenges.
Mrs.Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman.She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor.She knew they had problems,and they needed all kinds of help.When she had time,she would bring food and medicine to them.
One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before.There was a man sick in bed,his wife,who took care of him and could not go out to work,and their little boy.The little boy—his name was Bernard—had interested her very much.
“I wish you could see him,”she said to her own children,John,Harry,and Clara.“He is such a help to his mother.He wants very much to earn some money,but I dont see what he can do.”
After their mother left the room,the children sat thinking about Bernard.“I wish we could help him to earn money,”said Clara.“His family is suffering so much.”
“So do I,”said Harry.“We really should do something to assist them.”
For some moments,John said nothing,but,suddenly,he sprang to his feet and cried,“I have a great idea!I have a solution that we can all help accomplish(完成).”
The other children also jumped up all attention.When John had an idea,it was sure to be a good one.“I tell you what we can do,”said John.“You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us?Well,we can make popcorn(爆米花),and put it into paper bags,and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.”

Passage 12

“Im going to miss you so much,Poppy,” said the tall,thin teenager.He bent down to hug his old friend goodbye.He stood up,hugged his parents,and smiled,trying not to let his emotions (情绪) get the better of him.
His parents were not quite able to keep theirs under control.They had driven their son several hours out of town to the university where he would soon be living and studying.It was time to say goodbye for now at least.The family hugged and smiled through misty eyes and then laughed.
The boy lifted the last bag onto his shoulder,and flashed a bright smile.“I guess this is it,” he said.“Ill see you back home in a month,okay?” His parents nodded,and they watched as he walked out of sight into the crowds of hundreds of students and parents.The boys mother turned to the dog,“Okay,Poppy,time to go back home.”
The house seemed quiet as a tomb without the boy living there.All that week,Poppy didnt seem interested in her dinner,her favorite toy,or even in her daily walk.Her owners were sad too,but they knew their son would be back to visit.Poppy didnt.
They offered the dog some of her favorite peanut butter treats.They even let her sit on the sofa,but the old girl just wasnt her usual cheerful self.Her owners started to get worried.“What should we do to cheer Poppy up?” asked Dad.“Weve tried everything.”
“I have an idea,but it might be a little crazy,” smiled Mom.“Without anybody left in the house but us,this place could use a bit of fun.Lets get a little dog for Poppy.”
It didnt take long before they walked through the front door carrying a big box.Poppy welcomed them home as usual,but when she saw the box,she stopped.She put her nose on it.Her tail began wagging (摆动) ever so slowly,then faster as she caught the smell.

Passage 13
(2020·浙江,25分,难度★★★)
One fall,my wife Elli and I had a single goal:to photograph polar bears.We were staying at a research camp outside “the polar bear capital of the world”—the town of Churchill in Manitoba,Canada.
Taking pictures of polar bears is amazing but also dangerous.Polar bears—like all wild animals—should be photographed from a safe distance.When Im face to face with a polar bear,I like it to be through a camera with a telephoto lens.But sometimes,that is easier said than done.This was one of those times.
As Elli and I cooked dinner,a young male polar bear who was playing in a nearby lake sniffed,and smelled our garlic bread.
The hungry bear followed his nose to our camp,which was surrounded by a high wire fence.He pulled and bit the wire.He stood on his back legs and pushed at the wooden fence posts.
Terrified,Elli and I tried all the bear defense actions we knew.We yelled at the bear,hit pots hard,and fired blank shotgun shells into the air.Sometimes loud noises like these will scare bears off.Not this polar bear though—he just kept trying to tear down the fence with his massive paws(爪子).
I radioed the camp manager for help.He told me a helicopter was on its way,but it would be 30 minutes before it arrived.Making the best of this close encounter(相遇),I took some pictures of the bear.
Elli and I feared the fence wouldnt last through 30 more minutes of the bears punishment.The camp manager suggested I use pepper spray.The spray burns the bears eyes,but doesnt hurt them.So I approached our uninvited guest slowly and,through the fence,sprayed him in the face.With an angry roar(吼叫),the bear ran to the lake to wash his eyes.

Passage 14
(2018·浙江,20分,难度★★)
It was summer,and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before.He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.
We took a plane to Albuquerque,a big city in the state of New Mexico.We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon.Uncle Paul,my dads friend,picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle.My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby.Very early in the morning,Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast.“The day starts at dawn on my farm,”he said.After breakfast,I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens,while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze(吃草).I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses.They looked really cool.
In the afternoon,I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride,and he said yes,as long as my dad went with me.I wasnt going to take a horse ride by myself anyway.So,my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats,got on our horses,and headed slowly towards the mountains.“Dont be late for supper,”Uncle Paul cried,“and keep to the track so that you dont get lost!”“OK!”my dad cried back.After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight.It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks,the deep green pine trees,and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene.It looked like a beautiful woven(编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.

Passage 15
(2017·浙江11月,25分,难度★★★)
A Vacation with My Mother
I had an interesting childhood.It was filled with surprises and amusements,all because of my mother—loving,sweet,yet absent-minded and forgetful.One strange family trip we took when I was eleven tells a lot about her.
My two sets of grandparents lived in Colorado and North Dakota,and my parents decided to spend a few weeks driving to those states and seeing all the sights along the way.As the first day of our trip approached,David,my eight-year-old brother,and I unwillingly said good-bye to all of our friends.Who knew if wed ever see them again?Finally,the moment of our departure arrived,and we loaded suitcases,books,games,camping equipment,and a tent into the car and bravely drove off.We bravely drove off again two hours later after wed returned home to get the purse and travelers checks Mom had forgotten.
David and I were always a little nervous when using gas station bathrooms if Mom was driving while Dad slept:“You stand outside the door and play lookout(放哨)while I go,and Ill stand outside the door and play lookout while you go.” I had terrible pictures in my mind:“Honey,where are the kids?” “What?! Oh,Gosh...I thought they were being awfully quiet.” We were never actually left behind in a strange city,but we werent about to take any chances.
On the fourth or fifth night,we had trouble finding a hotel with a vacancy.After driving in vain for some time,Mom suddenly got a great idea:Why didnt we find a house with a likely-looking backyard and ask if we could set up tent there?David and I became nervous.To our great relief,Dad turned down the idea.Mom never could understand our objections(反对).If a strange family showed up on her front doorstep,Mom would have been delighted.She thinks everyone in the world is as nice as she is.We finally found a vacancy in the next town.

Passage 16
(2017·浙江,25分,难度★★★)
On a bright,warm July afternoon,Mac Hollan,a primary school teacher,was cycling from his home to Alaska with his friends.One of his friends had stopped to make a bicycle repair,but they had encouraged Mac to carry on,and they would catch up with him soon.As Mac pedaled(骑行) along alone,he thought fondly of his wife and two young daughters at home.He hoped to show them this beautiful place someday.
Then Mac heard quick and loud breathing behind him.“Man,thats a big dog!” he thought.But when he looked to the side,he saw instantly that it wasnt a dog at all,but a wolf,quickly catching up with him.
Macs heart jumped.He found out his can of bear spray.With one hand on the bars,he fired the spray at the wolf.A bright red cloud enveloped the animal,and to Macs relief,it fell back,shaking its head.But a minute later,it was by his side again.Then it attacked the back of Macs bike,tearing open his tent bag.He fired at the wolf a second time,and again,it fell back only to quickly restart the chase(追赶).
Mac was pedaling hard now.He waved and yelled at passing cars but was careful not to slow down.He saw a steep uphill climb before him.He knew that once he hit the hill,hed be easy caught up and the wolfs teeth would be tearing into his flesh.
At this moment,Paul and Becky were driving their car on their way to Alaska.They didnt think much of it when they saw two cyclists repairing their bike on the side of the road.A bit later,they spotted what they,too,assumed was a dog running alongside a man on a bike.As they got closer,they realized that the dog was a wolf.Mac heard a large vehicle behind him.He pulled in front of it as the wolf was catching up fast,just a dozen yards away now.
