Some of my friends asked me, “Don’t you miss your home, Emily?” I told them I was the only child in my family and I truly had an easy life at home. However, I got bored of having a “good” time at home and needed a change. The kids from Africa were eager to learn and easy to teach. I was surprised at how smart they were. Talking with them made me think a lot. When you come from a poor area, you must grow up fast and deal with all kinds of difficult situations. Volunteering has always been easy for me because I don’t like to do the same things every day. My job also gives me the freedom to choose when and where I work. Although I don’t get paid for volunteering, I’m old enough to know that money is not the only way to get rewarded (回报) . The experience itself is priceless. I make lots of connections with good people. Also, when I volunteer, I often work with people who are worse off than I am. That has taught me to practice thankfulness for what I have. Believe me, this life lesson is worth a million dollars. I am not a perfect person. In a sense, I think I’m selfish. But you don’t have to be a perfect, selfless person to volunteer. In fact, I have benefited a lot from volunteering. Volunteering helps others, and it can also help yourself, too. The biggest benefit of volunteering is that it helps you develop your character, and that’s the passport to a rich and meaningful life. ( )1. Why did Emily volunteer in Africa? A. She lived a really difficult life at home. B. She hoped to learn a new language there. C. She wanted to experience something new. D. She tried to volunteer with her friends. ( )2. What does the underlined word “eager” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Being afraid of doing something. B. Feeling bored of doing something. C. Having no ability to do something. D. Being very willing to do something. ( ) 3. What does Emily get from her volunteering experience? A. The freedom to choose a well-paid job. B. The chance to connect with good people. C. The ability to express thanks for what she has lost. D. The knowledge she couldn’t get from the book. ( )4. Which of the following would Emily most probably agree with? A. Use it or lose it. B. Old habits die hard. C. Giving is receiving. D. Seeing is believing. ( )5. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To compare life in Africa with life at home. B. To explain how to become a perfect volunteer. C. To describe the education system in African countries. D. To share the writer’s volunteering experience and its value. B篇 (At the museum) Emma: (Pointing) Wow! Look at those bronze (青铜的) bells, which are like a huge music tower. What are they called? Wang Tao: They’re Bianzhong. And the ones next to them are Bianqing, which are made of jade or stone. They’re both ancient Chinese musical instruments. Emma: I bet they don’t sound the same. The bronze ones must make a loud and powerful sound, while the jade ones sound softer and clearer, like tapping a glass. Wang Tao: You’re right. The video here shows how musicians play them together. Listen! Their sounds mix well, creating a sense of harmony (和谐) —exactly what we need for our concert! Emma: (Tapping the screen) Let’s try the virtual (虚拟的) sound game! The bronze bells go “BOOM”, and the jade ones ring “DING”. Perfect for our school concert piece! If only we could play the real ones... Wang Tao: (Smiling) You wish! Back then, only the upper class were allowed to use them. The Bianzhong of Marquis Yi of Zeng (曾侯乙编钟) is a fine example. It was the symbol of power and status and it played an important role in state ceremonies and formal events. Emma: It’s amazing how these ancient bells still hold so much history! Wang Tao: (Nodding) Definitely! They reflected the values of ancient Chinese culture, like harmony, order, and respect for tradition. Even today, they “speak” to us about how ancient Chinese viewed the world. Emma: Maybe we can base our school concert piece on their sounds! A modern mix with ancient “BOOM” and “DING”! Wang Tao: Great! We’ll be the first to bring 2, 000-year-old music to the school stage. ( )1. What do we know about Bianqing? A. They were made in the shape of a tower. B. They can be played with Bianzhong. C. They can be used for making wishes. D. They were widely used in ancient China. ( )2. Why is the Bianzhong of Marquis Yi of Zeng mentioned? A. To tell a moving story. B. To discover a hidden secret. C. To prove its role as an upper-class symbol. D. To introduce the long history of Bianzhong. ( )3.What does Wang Tao introduce about Bianzhong and Bianqing? ①materials ②sounds ③inventors ④values ⑤weights A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ②④⑤ D. ②③④ ( )4. Why do Emma and Wang Tao go to the museum? A. To have a Chinese history class. B. To play ancient musical instruments. C. To collect ideas for their school concert. D. To finish homework about ancient culture. ( ) 5. How does Wang Tao feel during the visit? A. Tired. B. Nervous. C. Proud. D. Surprised. 三、短文填空。 A篇 On Pingjiang Road in Suzhou, 65-year-old Ms Wu has run a traditional tea house for 30 years.
