When she knew how challenging it was for her parents, who lacked any college education, to properly manage the earnings of farming, she took it over immediately. This started a lifelong passion for finance (财务), and it led her down an unexpected path to becoming a role model she never had. Yet, such ambitions ran in obvious contrast to everything familiar to her. “I didn’t have any advisors,” Larson says. “I didn’t have anyone to look up to for a professional example. All the women I met were stay-at-home moms.” Despite having parents who couldn’t fully understand her ambitions, Larson went to the BYU Marriott School, where she earned a business degree and focused much of her coursework on international finance. Larson worked for seven years as a financial representative with Northwestern Mutual, advising clients on important financial decisions. Larson returned to BYU Marriott in 2008 to earn an MBA, and accepted a position in the school as an assistant professor following her graduation. For more than a decade, Larson has taught finance classes to undergraduate and MBA students. While she teaches finance, Larson tries to help her students see how mastering finance principles can also impact their personal lives. Constantly balancing motherhood and work, Larson makes adjustments to the way she teaches. She gave birth to her first three children in three years while teaching at BYU Marriott, wondering at times if labor might start while in front of a class full of students. At one time, Larson taught online classes from her dining room table while taking care of a newborn and other young children at home. As a female instructor in the often male-dominated finance industry, Larson works to inspire other women who seek a similar path to hers. Larson became the role model that she never had, the example that a 14-year-old girl staring at a farming expense sheet couldn't find. Now, Larson's children and students will always have that example. 41．What made Larson develop a lifelong passion for finance? A．Her experience of managing earnings of farming. B．Her strong desire for college education. C．The high expectations from her parents. D．The challenging labor on her dairy farm. 42．What problem did Larson face according to Paragraph 2? A．She had no one to ask for advice. B．She was unsure about the coursework. C．She was misunderstood by her neighbor. D．She was unfamiliar with everything at school. 43．Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 3? A．Larson returned to BYU Marriott in 2018 to earn an MBA． B．Larson taught finance classes only to MBA students. C．Larson tried to control her students’ personal lives. D．Larson worked as a financial representative with Northwestern Mutual. 44．What does the underlined word “labor” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．The work of looking after a baby. B．The process of dealing with students. C．The process of giving birth to a baby. D．The work of adjusting teaching methods. 45．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Following Your Interest. B．Balancing Work and Family. C．Becoming Your Own Role Model. D．Seeking a Way to Be Successful. 【答案】41．A 42．A 43．D 44．C 45．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Jenn Larson14岁时接管了家里管理务农收入的工作，这使得她对财务产生了热情，之后她努力奋斗追逐自己的梦想，最终成为了自己的榜样。 41．细节理解题。根据第一段中“When she knew how challenging it was for her parents, who lacked any college education, to properly manage the earnings of farming, she took it over immediately. This started a lifelong passion for finance (财务), and it led her down an unexpected path to becoming a role model she never had.(当她知道，对于没有受过大学教育的父母来说，妥善管理务农收入是多么具有挑战性时，她立即接手了这个工作。这开启了她对财务的终生热情，并引导她走上了一条意想不到的道路，成为她从未有过的榜样。)”可知，Larson管理农业收益的经验让她对财务产生了终生的热情，故选A。 42．细节理解题。根据第二段中““I didn’t have any advisors,” Larson says. “I didn’t have anyone to look up to for a professional example. All the women I met were stay-at-home moms.”(“我没有任何顾问，”Larson说。“我没有任何人可以向我提供专业的榜样。我遇到的所有女性都是全职妈妈。”)”可知，Larson面临的问题是她没有人可以寻求建议。故选A。 43．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Larson worked for seven years as a financial representative with Northwestern Mutual, advising clients on important financial decisions.(Larson)在西北互助银行 (Northwestern Mutual) 担任财务代表七年，为客户提供重要财务决策建议)”可知，Larson曾担任西北互助银行的财务代表。故选D。 44．词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子“She gave birth to her first three children in three years while teaching at BYU Marriott, wondering at times if labor might start while in front of a class full of students. (她在杨百翰大学万豪酒店任教期间，三年内生下了头三个孩子，有时她担心labor是否会在全班学生面前开始。)”可知，她在任教期间三年内生下了三个孩子，所以她有时会担心自己会在全班学生面前意外生下孩子，由此可推知，划线单词意为“生孩子”，故选C。 45．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“This started a lifelong passion for finance (财务), and it led her down an unexpected path to becoming a role model she never had.(这开启了她对财务的终生热情，并引导她走上了一条意想不到的道路，成为她从未有过的榜样)”和最后一段中“Larson became the role model that she never had, the example that a 14-year-old girl staring at a farming expense sheet couldn't find. Now, Larson's children and students will always have that example.(Larson成为了她从未有过的榜样，一个14岁的女孩盯着农业支出表找不到的榜样。现在，Larson的孩子和学生将永远有这个榜样)”可知，文章主要讲述了Jenn Larson14岁时接管了家里管理务农收入的工作，这使得她对财务产生了热情，之后她努力奋斗追逐自己的梦想，最终成为了自己的榜样。C项“成为你自己的榜样”适合用作文章标题，故选C。 （2024-2025 学年高一上・部分区・期末） My mother fastened the golden butterfly pendant (吊坠项链) behind my neck. In her eyes, I saw pride for the first woman in our family to achieve a university education. My mother’s dreams of becoming a teacher and my grandmother’s dreams of finishing school now came true. I realized I was standing on their shoulders. It was all their hard work, the endless housework and their resilience (韧性) that had brought me to this moment. My grandmother Aspasia loved to tell us stories of her first years at elementary school on the small island of Chios, Greece: the songs she learned, her calligraphic handwriting and her good marks. All this changed in Grade 4 when the family sent her to a local embroideress to learn the trade. And after she got married at 23, she had to abandon her needlepoint and devoted the rest of her life to her family, raising four children. My mother Poppy was able to finish high school on Chios. She was an excellent student, and her parents encouraged her to follow her dream of becoming a teacher. Unfortunately, the Greek civil war broke out. She ended up marrying and looking after her family. As I grew up on Chios, my mother always suggested strongly that I should get the university education that she was deprived (剥夺) of. When I started going to school, all I ever had to say to escape housework was that I needed to study. Sometimes I wanted to help her out with cooking or baking, but my mother would say, “No. Go back to your homework! That is your main job. That takes priority!” On my university graduation, my mother presented me with my grandma’s special pendant. My heart was flooded with appreciation. I took my mother’s hands in mine and kissed them. “Thank you. for everything!” Months after my university graduation, I got a scholarship to pursue graduate studies in Ancient Classics in England. One night, my grandmother appeared in my dreams standing at the doorway of my student room. She told me how proud she was that I was following my dream of education, one that was denied to the previous generations of our family’s women. “You have come a long way!” she said. 56．What can be inferred about the author’s university education from Paragraph 1?

In 2015, with the help of her parents, the nine-year-old girl built her first “mobile sleeping shelter” for her friend Edward. Edward was not the typical person you’d want your nine-year-old daughter to get along with, but Hailey was not a typical girl. Edward was homeless. Here is how it all started. In 2011, when Hailey was only five, she saw a homeless man on the street and thought it would be nice to buy him a sandwich. She and her mom did so. The man was Edward, who was out of work. From there Hailey thought, “Why give one person a sandwich when you can feed many more with a garden?” So she decided to help homeless people by providing them with food and shelter. Along with her parents, Hailey planted vegetables in a small garden. She donated vegetables in 2014. In 2015, she hoped to harvest more vegetables to help feed local homeless people. From that garden grew the shelter idea. “I don’t really want Edward to be rained on,” said Hailey. Hailey and her parents were supported by many people, including Lowes Home Improvement, who knocked 50% off the cost of supplies for Hailey’s shelter. Besides, Hailey received $3,000 from Together Rising for her efforts. She planned to use the money to build more shelters, so that not just her friend Edward, but some of his friends will also have warm, dry places to sleep. “It just doesn’t seem right that there are homeless people. I think it important that everyone has a place to live,” said Hailey. Hailey said she wanted to be a philanthropist (慈善家) when she grew up. 39．The underlined word “it” most probably refers to “______”. A．the sad story of Edward. B．Hailey’s happy childhood. C．Hailey’s friendship with Edward. D．learning to build shelters. 40．What can we infer from the passage? A．Hailey received a lot of support from the local government.

She and her mom did so. The man was Edward, who was out of work. (2011年，当Hailey只有五岁的时候，她看到街上一个无家可归的人，觉得给他买个三明治会很好。她和妈妈照做了。这个人是Edward,他失业了。）可只，Hailey与Edward的友谊成为了她全部后续善行的开始，因此“it”指代的是Hailey与Edward的友谊。 故选C。 40．推理判断题  根据文章第二段“Edward was not the typical person you’d want your nine-year-old daughter to get along with, but Hailey was not a typical girl. Edward was homeless.

(Hailey和她的父母得到了许多人的支持，包括Lowes Home Improvement，他们将Hailey建造庇护所的材料费用降低了50%。)”可知，Lowes通过减少材料费用来支持Hailey。 故选D。 42．细节理解题。根据第三段“Here is how it all started. In 2011, when Hailey was only five, she saw a homeless man on the street and thought it would be nice to buy him a sandwich. (友谊是这样开始的。2011年，当海莉只有5岁的时候，她在街上看到一个无家可归的人，就想给他买个三明治。)”根据第四段“Along with her parents, Hailey planted vegetables in a small garden. (海莉和她的父母一起在一个小花园里种蔬菜。)”根据倒数第二段“She planned to use the money to build more shelters, so that not just her friend Edward, but some of his friends will also have warm, dry places to sleep.

My wife and I were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary (纪念日) that year. To our delight, it was a splendid event, lovingly hosted by our sons just for us. Our dear, old friends gave us a wonderful surprise with their thoughtful gifts and heartfelt congratulations. Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west. We drove from Ontario into Alberta, then southward into Glacier National Park in Montana, and continued to Yellowstone National Park. It was a cold spring day, and the Beartooth Highway had opened for the season just days before. Alongside the road, there was still a great amount of snow there. The scenery was so impressive that we made lots of stops to record memories with my camera. At the highest point of the highway, I stopped at a lookout to catch the amazing views, with my wife in the centre of my camera lens. There were not many cars on the road. Sometimes, cars with energetic young tourists passed by. And then we heard a motorcycle in the distance. The driver of the motorcycle, who wore dirty clothes, parked behind our cars. Approaching us, he spoke only a simple command, “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife.” I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories. Surprisingly, he just took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could offer our thanks. Unexpectedly, the photo he took is now one of the most valuable and prized of our trip. In that unexpected encounter, I absorbed a lesson in the most unlikely of places. We should never judge a man by his appearance. To the motorcyclist who may one day read this story and remember us: we wish to extend our deepest appreciation and a heartfelt “Thank you” for the kindness you showed us that day. 36．What do we know about the trip?

We are used to choosing hearty, fat-filled dishes and sugary desserts, which are not easily cooked at home. The recent rise of light meals, however, gives us a smarter choice. According to Economic Daily, low-calorie, low-fat and high-fiber meals have become popular in China’s restaurants and online delivery platforms. The country saw a rapid increase of restaurants concentrating on light meal. From just 600 in 2017 to more than 3,500 in 2018. According to a report published by Meituan a major online food delivery platform, the number of light meals ordered online also rise 75 percent from the previous year. Having a light meal, however, doesn’t mean eating only vegetables. Different from the meat-free lifestyle, a typical light dish avoids oily, salty and spicy food. Instead, it contains things like boiled meat, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Healthy nutrients are the theme of the light meal. These dishes are useful for keeping healthy and controlling your weight. That’s probably why so many people, especially the youths are into them. They see it as “a great way to avoid getting fat,” wrote the Telegraph. “After eating several light meals, I now prefer light flavours,” Zou Jing a college teacher in Wuhan, told China Daily. She shared a picture of her lunch: a mixture of beef eggs, corn, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes. These changes in eating behaviour are connected to deeper changes in how people think about food, says Walter Willett. Chairman of the nutrition department at the Hanard T. Chan School of Public Health, U.S.,“ Diet quality, not quantity is important for both weight control and long-term well-being.” Willett told The New York Times. So the next time you have a party with friends, try a light meal, it will satisfy, not only your stomachs but may be also your hearts. 36．What are light meals? A．Fat-filled dishes.

So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed to prick my heart, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me. But something about my friend’s words — “I can help organize the whole thing” — made me feel it a duty to agree. In the weeks to come, I managed to re-enter the world of the living. I checked our team’s website daily, feeling proud each time a donation ticked up our total. I knew my mum would have wanted it that way. She was the type who never gave up. It was this very spirit that helped me get by. When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces. They made it look so meaningful and effortless. I wanted in. So I entered into another race two months later. Considering I could hardly run a mile, it was hard to achieve. But my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldn’t come in last. I followed it strictly and didn’t let anything get in my way. Running up and down the city’s hills, I was flooded with memories. I had lived there after college and my mother had visited often. I passed Bloomingdale’s, recalling the time she and I had gotten into a fierce argument there. I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mum had said after her diagnosis (诊断) of cancer. “I don’t want you to feel regretful about anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my shoulders. When the race day arrived,I gave it my all for my mum and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on. Crossing the finish line, I was filled with her love and a sense of peace. 39．Why did the author ignore the email in the beginning? A．She felt it hard to finish the race. B．She had no time to join in the event. C．She thought the research meaningless. D．She was reminded of her mother's death. 40．What does the underlined word “prick” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．Hurt. B．Lose. C．Win. D．Warm. 41．What mainly helped the author recover from her mum’s death? A．The company of her friends. B．The inspiration from her mum. C．The pleasure in going for a run. D．The success in organizing an event. 42．Which of the words can best describe the author’s mum? A．Considerate and polite. B．Brave and humorous. C．Strong-willed and caring. D．Outgoing and patient. 43．What might be the best title for the passage? A．How I Got Healed in Running B．The Loss of Sweet memories C．What Matters Most in Running D．The Benefits of Mothers’ love 【答案】39．D 40．A 41．B 42．C 43．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者在母亲去世后，通过参与跑步比赛和回忆母亲的教诲，逐渐走出悲伤，找到内心的平静的故事。 39．细节理解题。根据第一段“It was a week after my mum had passed away and I didn’t know how to go on with life. So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed to prick my heart, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.(妈妈去世后一周，我不知道该如何继续生活。所以，当我收到朋友发来的一封关于一场有益于癌症研究的比赛的电子邮件时，我忽略了它。这似乎刺痛了我的心，因为癌症就是夺走我妈妈的疾病。)”可知，作者一开始忽略那封邮件是因为这让作者想起了母亲的去世。故选D。 40．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句上文“It was a week after my mum had passed away and I didn’t know how to go on with life. So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it.(那是我妈妈去世一周后，我不知道该如何继续生活。因此，当我收到一位朋友发来的关于一场有利于癌症研究的比赛的电子邮件时，我忽略了它。)”以及下文“as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.(因为癌症就是夺走我妈妈的疾病。)”可知，作者在母亲去世一周后收到了一封邮件，是关于有利于癌症研究的比赛，而作者的母亲就是死于癌症，由此可推测，这封邮件刺痛了作者的内心，让作者难过、伤心；“prick”意思是“刺痛，使痛心”，与hurt意思相近。故选A。 41．细节理解题。根据第二段“She was the type who never gave up. It was this very spirit that helped me get by.(她是那种永不放弃的人。正是这种精神帮助我度过难关。)”可知，是母亲永不放弃的精神激励了作者，帮助作者从母亲去世的伤痛中恢复过来。故选B。 42．推理判断题。根据第二段“She was the type who never gave up.(她是那种永不放弃的人。)”可知，作者的母亲意志坚强；根据第六段“I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mum had said after her diagnosis (诊断) of cancer. “I don’t want you to feel regretful about anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my shoulders.(当我想起妈妈被诊断出癌症后说的话时，我正想痛打自己一顿。‘我不想让你对任何事情感到后悔。’她那双薄如纸的手紧紧地抓着我。我肩上的重担减轻了。)”可知，作者的母亲很爱作者，是一个有爱心的人；由此可知，最能描述作者母亲的词是“意志坚强且有爱心的”。故选C。 43．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据最后一段“When the race day arrived,I gave it my all for my mum and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on. Crossing the finish line, I was filled with her love and a sense of peace.(当比赛那天到来的时候，我为我的妈妈付出了我的一切，为了她教给我的一切，也为了她继续教给我的一切。当我跑步的时候，每当我想慢下来的时候，我就会想象她为我加油。冲过终点线时，我心中充满了她的爱和一种平和的感觉。)”可知，本文主要讲述了作者在母亲去世后非常难过，不知道该如何继续生活，而通过参与跑步比赛和回忆母亲的教诲，作者逐渐走出悲伤，找到内心的平静的故事；由此可知，选项A“How I Got Healed in Running(我是如何在跑步中治愈的)”最符合文章主旨，最适合作为本文标题。故选A。 （2024-2025 学年高一上・红桥区・期末） Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States, yet she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once said to herself:  “I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me.” No one could have had a more productive old age. She was born on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At twelve she left home and was in domestic (家庭的) service until, at twenty - seven, she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom only five survived ; her husband died in1927. Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery (刺绣) pictures as a hobby, but only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff (硬的) to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore (杂货店) and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930’s and her death she produced some 2,000 pictures: detailed and lively portrayals (描绘) of the country life she had known for so long, with a wonderful sense of colour and form. “I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it.” she said. 31．From Grandma Moses’ description of herself in the first paragraph, it can be inferred that she was ______. A．Independent. B．pretty. C．rich. D．nervous. 32．Grandma Moses spent most of her life ______. A．Nursing. B．painting. C．embroidering. D．farming. 33．The underlined word “survived” means ______.

D．Grandma Moses and Other Older Artists. 【答案】31．A 32．D 33．C 34．B 35．A 【导语】这是一篇应用文。全文介绍了画家摩西奶奶以及她的有关作品。 31．推理判断题。根据第一段“I would never sit back in a rocking chair，waiting for someone to help me (我永远不会坐在摇椅上，等着别人来帮助我)”可知她是一个独立的人。故选A项。 32．细节理解题。根据第二段“They farmed most of their lives (他们大部分时间都在务农)”可知摩西奶奶与其丈夫一生中的大部分时间都是务农的。故选D项。 33．词句猜测题。根据第二段“She had ten children, of whom only five survived ; her husband died in1927. (她生了十个孩子，只有五个survived；她的丈夫于1927年去世。)”可知，根据“only”可知，她生了十个孩子，只有五个活了下来。故选C项。 34．推理判断题。根据第一段“ As she once said to herself:  “I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me.” No one could have had a more productive old age. (正如她曾经对自己说的那样：“我永远不会坐在摇椅上，等着别人来帮助我。”没有人能拥有比他更富有成效的晚年了。)”可知，根据这篇文章，摩西奶奶开始画画是因为她想保持活跃。故选B。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文以及根据第一段“Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States,yet she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies.

When she knew how challenging it was for her parents, who lacked any college education, to properly manage the earnings of farming, she took it over immediately. This started a lifelong passion for finance (财务), and it led her down an unexpected path to becoming a role model she never had. Yet, such ambitions ran in obvious contrast to everything familiar to her. “I didn’t have any advisors,” Larson says. “I didn’t have anyone to look up to for a professional example. All the women I met were stay-at-home moms.” Despite having parents who couldn’t fully understand her ambitions, Larson went to the BYU Marriott School, where she earned a business degree and focused much of her coursework on international finance. Larson worked for seven years as a financial representative with Northwestern Mutual, advising clients on important financial decisions. Larson returned to BYU Marriott in 2008 to earn an MBA, and accepted a position in the school as an assistant professor following her graduation. For more than a decade, Larson has taught finance classes to undergraduate and MBA students. While she teaches finance, Larson tries to help her students see how mastering finance principles can also impact their personal lives. Constantly balancing motherhood and work, Larson makes adjustments to the way she teaches. She gave birth to her first three children in three years while teaching at BYU Marriott, wondering at times if labor might start while in front of a class full of students. At one time, Larson taught online classes from her dining room table while taking care of a newborn and other young children at home. As a female instructor in the often male-dominated finance industry, Larson works to inspire other women who seek a similar path to hers. Larson became the role model that she never had, the example that a 14-year-old girl staring at a farming expense sheet couldn't find. Now, Larson's children and students will always have that example. 41．What made Larson develop a lifelong passion for finance? A．Her experience of managing earnings of farming. B．Her strong desire for college education. C．The high expectations from her parents. D．The challenging labor on her dairy farm. 42．What problem did Larson face according to Paragraph 2? A．She had no one to ask for advice. B．She was unsure about the coursework. C．She was misunderstood by her neighbor. D．She was unfamiliar with everything at school. 43．Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 3? A．Larson returned to BYU Marriott in 2018 to earn an MBA． B．Larson taught finance classes only to MBA students. C．Larson tried to control her students’ personal lives. D．Larson worked as a financial representative with Northwestern Mutual. 44．What does the underlined word “labor” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．The work of looking after a baby. B．The process of dealing with students. C．The process of giving birth to a baby. D．The work of adjusting teaching methods. 45．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Following Your Interest. B．Balancing Work and Family. C．Becoming Your Own Role Model. D．Seeking a Way to Be Successful. （2024-2025 学年高一上・部分区・期末） My mother fastened the golden butterfly pendant (吊坠项链) behind my neck. In her eyes, I saw pride for the first woman in our family to achieve a university education. My mother’s dreams of becoming a teacher and my grandmother’s dreams of finishing school now came true. I realized I was standing on their shoulders. It was all their hard work, the endless housework and their resilience (韧性) that had brought me to this moment. My grandmother Aspasia loved to tell us stories of her first years at elementary school on the small island of Chios, Greece: the songs she learned, her calligraphic handwriting and her good marks. All this changed in Grade 4 when the family sent her to a local embroideress to learn the trade. And after she got married at 23, she had to abandon her needlepoint and devoted the rest of her life to her family, raising four children. My mother Poppy was able to finish high school on Chios. She was an excellent student, and her parents encouraged her to follow her dream of becoming a teacher. Unfortunately, the Greek civil war broke out. She ended up marrying and looking after her family. As I grew up on Chios, my mother always suggested strongly that I should get the university education that she was deprived (剥夺) of. When I started going to school, all I ever had to say to escape housework was that I needed to study. Sometimes I wanted to help her out with cooking or baking, but my mother would say, “No. Go back to your homework! That is your main job. That takes priority!” On my university graduation, my mother presented me with my grandma’s special pendant. My heart was flooded with appreciation. I took my mother’s hands in mine and kissed them. “Thank you. for everything!” Months after my university graduation, I got a scholarship to pursue graduate studies in Ancient Classics in England. One night, my grandmother appeared in my dreams standing at the doorway of my student room. She told me how proud she was that I was following my dream of education, one that was denied to the previous generations of our family’s women. “You have come a long way!” she said. 56．What can be inferred about the author’s university education from Paragraph 1?

But paper cutting is at the risk of disappearing. Voyo Woo, a Chinese immigrant (移民), who loves paper cutting, worked hard to celebrate the ancient art form. With a strong interest in paper cutting, Ms. Woo held a paper cutting exhibition at a shopping center near Washington. “I really love it. I get so much fun by doing it. I am just kind of hoping that more people will learn about this art which is about to disappear. I think it’s time to take action. So I held it.” Voyo Woo began to study paper cutting when she was a 14-year-old girl in southeastern China. Voyo Woo’s teacher gave her extra training after class because Voyo Woo discovered a special love for it. Later, her beautiful paper cuttings won second prize in a national painting competition. “Paper is the easiest material that you can find. You can just turn it into beautiful art. I think it is like magic to me.” Ms. Woo came to the USA after she finished college in 2008. She has been invited to show the art at a wide collection of events. She also has shown her skill and works at famous museums like the Smithsonian Institution’s Freer and Sackler art museum in Washington. “I saw so many people coming to me and asking me. They were amazed. I think it is important to introduce the art form to American people or anyone who is interested.” Ms. Woo placed examples of her art around her as she displayed paper cutting at the shopping center. Ann Russ, a shopper, was attracted by the fine nature of the work. She said it put her at case. “I appreciate Chinese art because I find it very beautiful. It is almost relaxing to put that much effort into it.

In 2015, with the help of her parents, the nine-year-old girl built her first “mobile sleeping shelter” for her friend Edward. Edward was not the typical person you’d want your nine-year-old daughter to get along with, but Hailey was not a typical girl. Edward was homeless. Here is how it all started. In 2011, when Hailey was only five, she saw a homeless man on the street and thought it would be nice to buy him a sandwich. She and her mom did so. The man was Edward, who was out of work. From there Hailey thought, “Why give one person a sandwich when you can feed many more with a garden?” So she decided to help homeless people by providing them with food and shelter. Along with her parents, Hailey planted vegetables in a small garden. She donated vegetables in 2014. In 2015, she hoped to harvest more vegetables to help feed local homeless people. From that garden grew the shelter idea. “I don’t really want Edward to be rained on,” said Hailey. Hailey and her parents were supported by many people, including Lowes Home Improvement, who knocked 50% off the cost of supplies for Hailey’s shelter. Besides, Hailey received $3,000 from Together Rising for her efforts. She planned to use the money to build more shelters, so that not just her friend Edward, but some of his friends will also have warm, dry places to sleep. “It just doesn’t seem right that there are homeless people. I think it important that everyone has a place to live,” said Hailey. Hailey said she wanted to be a philanthropist (慈善家) when she grew up. 39．The underlined word “it” most probably refers to “______”. A．the sad story of Edward. B．Hailey’s happy childhood.

To our delight, it was a splendid event, lovingly hosted by our sons just for us. Our dear, old friends gave us a wonderful surprise with their thoughtful gifts and heartfelt congratulations. Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west. We drove from Ontario into Alberta, then southward into Glacier National Park in Montana, and continued to Yellowstone National Park. It was a cold spring day, and the Beartooth Highway had opened for the season just days before. Alongside the road, there was still a great amount of snow there. The scenery was so impressive that we made lots of stops to record memories with my camera. At the highest point of the highway, I stopped at a lookout to catch the amazing views, with my wife in the centre of my camera lens. There were not many cars on the road. Sometimes, cars with energetic young tourists passed by. And then we heard a motorcycle in the distance. The driver of the motorcycle, who wore dirty clothes, parked behind our cars. Approaching us, he spoke only a simple command, “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife.” I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories. Surprisingly, he just took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could offer our thanks. Unexpectedly, the photo he took is now one of the most valuable and prized of our trip. In that unexpected encounter, I absorbed a lesson in the most unlikely of places. We should never judge a man by his appearance. To the motorcyclist who may one day read this story and remember us: we wish to extend our deepest appreciation and a heartfelt “Thank you” for the kindness you showed us that day. 36．What do we know about the trip? A．It was a gift for their wedding anniversary. B．It was a suggestion from their friends. C．It was in the late autumn five years ago.

We are used to choosing hearty, fat-filled dishes and sugary desserts, which are not easily cooked at home. The recent rise of light meals, however, gives us a smarter choice. According to Economic Daily, low-calorie, low-fat and high-fiber meals have become popular in China’s restaurants and online delivery platforms. The country saw a rapid increase of restaurants concentrating on light meal. From just 600 in 2017 to more than 3,500 in 2018. According to a report published by Meituan a major online food delivery platform, the number of light meals ordered online also rise 75 percent from the previous year. Having a light meal, however, doesn’t mean eating only vegetables. Different from the meat-free lifestyle, a typical light dish avoids oily, salty and spicy food. Instead, it contains things like boiled meat, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Healthy nutrients are the theme of the light meal. These dishes are useful for keeping healthy and controlling your weight. That’s probably why so many people, especially the youths are into them. They see it as “a great way to avoid getting fat,” wrote the Telegraph. “After eating several light meals, I now prefer light flavours,” Zou Jing a college teacher in Wuhan, told China Daily. She shared a picture of her lunch: a mixture of beef eggs, corn, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes. These changes in eating behaviour are connected to deeper changes in how people think about food, says Walter Willett. Chairman of the nutrition department at the Hanard T. Chan School of Public Health, U.S.,“ Diet quality, not quantity is important for both weight control and long-term well-being.” Willett told The New York Times. So the next time you have a party with friends, try a light meal, it will satisfy, not only your stomachs but may be also your hearts. 36．What are light meals? A．Fat-filled dishes.

So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed to prick my heart, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me. But something about my friend’s words — “I can help organize the whole thing” — made me feel it a duty to agree. In the weeks to come, I managed to re-enter the world of the living. I checked our team’s website daily, feeling proud each time a donation ticked up our total. I knew my mum would have wanted it that way. She was the type who never gave up. It was this very spirit that helped me get by. When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces. They made it look so meaningful and effortless. I wanted in. So I entered into another race two months later. Considering I could hardly run a mile, it was hard to achieve.

A weight lifted from my shoulders. When the race day arrived,I gave it my all for my mum and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me.
