M: It is not as big as I thought. A desk and a chair make the room more crowded, and I don’t need them.

【原文】W: Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when she was 11 years old. One day, she decided to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters to apply to medical schools, she was finally accepted by one in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught at a middle school and gave music lessons to earn money for her study. In 1849, she decided to further her education in Paris after graduation from medical school. But a serious eye illness forced her to give up the idea. Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. In 1857, Elizabeth and her sister, who was also a doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides being the first female doctor and founding her own hospital, she also set up the first medical school for women.

After one year in my wheelchair with Multiple Sclerosis (硬化),I longed for a change-something similar to the way I’d lived life before MS, with a seize-the-moment energy. I’d gone through suffering since my diagnosis. In the beginning, it was hard enough to feel okay about remaining seated in the church bench while the rest of the crowd stood up to sing a hymn (赞美诗). The wheelchair was a game changer in regaining some of my independence. I wanted to take some of that back.
Not long after my prayer, a huge advertisement caught my attention: Tandem Skydiving. “That’s it!” My husband warned, my kids sighed, but I had my answer. I contacted the company and set everything up.
Blue skies and white puffy clouds awaited on the day of my appointment. My family, parents and in-laws gathered down at the drop zone to witness the big event. I stayed up the hill, where I was helped into an orange jumpsuit before sitting down with my tandem partner. I listened carefully as he went over expected and unexpected situations, including what to do if the parachute (降落伞) didn’t open. Without a flash of fear, I got on the airplane with the other jumpers who’d signed up, their tandem partners and several skydivers whose job was to document the jumps. Cameras were attached to their helmets.
When it was my turn, I was positioned on my partner’s lap with our feet hanging out the door. Thank you, God, for this opportunity to seize the moment. My partner counted backward from five. When he got to “one”, we jumped!
Falling and then floating through the air was even more freeing than I had imagined. What a party it was! My husband, kids, parents and in-laws were as excited as if they’d jumped themselves.
The family hovered over me when the pictures arrived at home in the mail. We gazed at them, and I relived the adventure as I explained what was happening in each photo. I’d taken back my life with God as my parachute, and that might be the best change MS has offered me so far.
24. What does the underlined “that” refer to in paragraph 1?
A. The convenience of using a wheelchair.
B. The bright way of life she had before MS.
C. The sufferings from being diagnosed with MS.
D. The right to sit while singing hymns in church.
25. What did the tandem partner do before the jump?
A. He settled down to witness the risky activity.
B. He explained potential dangers when skydiving.
C. He took photos of the author to record the moment.
D. He helped the author practice jumping on the ground.
26. Which words can best describe the author?
A. Intelligent and optimistic. B. Adventurous and caring.
C. Courageous and determined. D. Cautious and thoughtful.
27. What lesson can we learn from the author’s experience?
A. Always prepare for a rainy day.
B. Opportunity seldom knocks twice.
C. To live in the present is a miracle.
D. A good beginning makes a good ending.
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. C 27. C

When he puts aside his suits after long hours of work as a financial professional, Hong Kong resident Marco Kwok happily embraces another identity: a host to visitors from around the world.
As a volunteer in the “Hong Kong Pals” program organized by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, Kwok takes joy in sharing hidden treasures known only to locals with visitors. “As a cultural ambassador, I not only give visitors important information but also learn from their backgrounds, which I then share with my friends and family,” he says.
Since the program started in 2009, it has brought together about 100 volunteers from different backgrounds. These people are eager to share Hong Kong’s culture and lifestyle, offering helpful local advice and ensuring every guest feels the city’s distinctive warmth and charm.
Agnes Tam, a retired executive, remembers a special experience. She helped an elderly man, who was born in Hong Kong but had lived in the UK, relive his childhood memories through old photos. “We found 19 of the 20 places in his photos,” she says. “He gave me his photo album as a thank-you gift.” Although her life after retirement is busy, Tam enjoys volunteering. “It not only enriches my life but also gives me a sense of purpose and happiness,” she adds.
For many volunteers, Hong Kong Pals is not just about helping others but also rediscovering their city. Agnes Lo, a civil servant, learned about the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance while preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival. “I got to know more about this tradition and was excited to share it with visitors,” she says.
“Over the past 14 years, our volunteers have contributed nearly 70,000 hours of service,” said Bakky Cheng, director of visitor services at the Hong Kong Tourism Board. For the past two decades, Cheng has witnessed the thriving growth of the volunteer team and the transformation of HongKong’s tourism industry.
What remains unchanged is Hong Kong’s hospitality. “Through comprehensive training, we ensure every volunteer is updated with the latest tourism trends and masters the art of hospitality, so they can tell a better Hong Kong story to the world,” Cheng said.
28. What similarity Marco Kwok and Agnes Lo share in voluntary work?
A. Their own professions offer much help. B. They mainly focus on traditional cultures.
C. They’re the key members of the program. D. They gain some new insights from the work.
29. What does volunteering mean to Agnes Tam?
A. It allows her to relive her childhood memories.
B. It gives her a sense of fulfillment and enjoyment.
C. It provides opportunities to engage with new people.
D. It helps her learn more about Hong Kong’s traditions.
30. What can be inferred from Cheng’s words in the last two paragraphs?
A. The program expects more volunteers to join.
B. The city’s boom counts on developing tourism.
C. They go to great lengths to promote the city’s image.
D. The program is decisive in boosting the city’s tourism.
31. What’s the suitable title of the text?
A. Hong Kong Pals: the bridge of cultures and hearts.
B. Hong Kong’s tourism: the focus of cultural awareness.
C. Hong Kong culture: the hidden treasure worth exploring.
D. Hong Kong’s volunteers: the group from all walks of life.

【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Although her life after retirement is busy, Tam enjoys volunteering. “It not only enriches my life but also gives me a sense of purpose and happiness,” she adds.(虽然退休后的生活很忙碌,但Tam喜欢做志愿者。她补充道:“这不仅丰富了我的生活,也给了我一种目标感和幸福感。”)”可知,志愿活动给Agnes Tam带来了满足感和快乐。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Bakky Cheng所说““Over the past 14 years, our volunteers have contributed nearly 70,000 hours of service,” said Bakky Cheng, director of visitor services at the Hong Kong Tourism Board.(香港旅游发展局游客服务总监Bakky Cheng表示:“在过去的14年里,我们的志愿者贡献了近70000小时的服务。”)”以及最后一段中““Through comprehensive training, we ensure every volunteer is updated with the latest tourism trends and masters the art of hospitality, so they can tell a better Hong Kong story to the world,” Cheng said.(程说:“通过全面的培训,我们确保每一位志愿者都了解最新的旅游趋势,掌握热情好客的艺术,这样他们就可以向世界讲述一个更好的香港故事。”)”可知,志愿者们付出了大量的时间,并通过全面的培训来确保他们掌握最新的旅游趋势和待客之道,以便向世界讲述一个更好的香港故事。由此可推知,他们在竭尽全力地推广城市的形象。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第二段中“As a cultural ambassador, I not only give visitors important information but also learn from their backgrounds, which I then share with my friends and family,” he says.(他说:“作为一名文化大使,我不仅向游客提供重要信息,还从他们的背景中学习,然后与我的朋友和家人分享。”)”以及第四段中Agnes Tam帮助一位老人重温童年记忆的经历可知,文章主要讲述了香港“香港之友”计划中的志愿者们作为文化大使,不仅向游客提供重要信息,还从他们的背景中学习,然后与朋友和家人分享,加深了游客对香港的了解,促进了文化的交流,因此A选项“Hong Kong Pals: the bridge of cultures and hearts.(香港之友:文化与心灵的桥梁)”作为标题最合适。故选A。
D
Since 2010, nearly every country has seen an increase in the number of cancer patients. The WHO reports one in six people will develop cancer in their lifetime. At least 10 million people will die from the disease every year. If the current trend continues, new cancer cases will rise by 60 percent by the year 2040. In low- and middle-income countries, they will rise by more than 80 percent.
Andre Ilbawi, WHO’s technical officer in cancer control, says more people are dying from cancer in poorer countries. Controlling the disease does not have to cost a lot. The WHO report, he explained, shows that by investing in cancer services, governments can save 7 million lives by 2030. “And that is at the cost of $2.70 per person in low-income countries and $8.15 per person in upper middle-income countries. This is feasible,” Ilbawi said.
WHO says cancer does not have to be a death sentence. Prevention works.
There have been great improvements in research on cancer prevention and treatment. These measures are successfully keeping many people alive who otherwise would have died. Preventive policies can work in powerful ways to reduce not only cancer numbers and death rates, but also the social and economic inequality in cancer cases. An example of such a policy is one that reduces workers’ contact with cancer-causing materials. Other examples are measures to control tobacco use, vaccination against cancer-causing infectious agents and testing for early stages of cancer.
In its report, WHO describes a series of measures proven to help in preventing new cancer cases. For example, it notes that tobacco-related diseases are responsible for 25 percent of cancer deaths. Deciding not to smoke, it says, can save billions of dollars and millions of lives. WHO adds that a vaccine against hepatitis B (乙肝) can prevent liver cancer. It notes another vaccine against HPV can nearly fight off cervical cancer (宫颈癌).
32. How does the author lead in the topic?
A. By citing specific data. B. By making a comparison.
C. By giving a vivid example. D. By clarifying a personal viewpoint.
33. What does the underlined word “feasible” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Practicable. B. Valuable. C. incredible. D. Responsible.
34. What is the author’s attitude towards cancer prevention?
A. Unclear. B. Unconcerned. C. Hopeful. D. Critical.
35. What can be the suitable title for the text?
A. The Latest Report By The WHO.
B. Prevention Is Better Than cure.
C. Cancers Increasing But Not a Death Sentence.
D. WHO: Cancer Poses a Great Threat To Humanity.
【答案】32. A 33. A 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了癌症病例的增加情况,同时指出癌症并非绝症,预防措施有效且可行。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Since 2010, nearly every country has seen an increase in the number of cancer patients. The WHO, reports one in six people will develop cancer in their lifetime. At least 10 million people will die from the disease every year. If the current trend continues, new cancer cases will rise by 60 percent by the year 2040. In low- and middle-income countries, they will rise by more than 80 percent.(自2010年以来,几乎每个国家的癌症患者数量都有所增加。据世界卫生组织报道,六分之一的人在一生中会患上癌症。每年至少有1000万人死于这种疾病。如果目前的趋势继续下去,到2040年,新的癌症病例将增加60%。在中低收入国家,这一比例将上升80%以上。)”可知,作者通过引用具体数据来引入癌症患者数量增加这个话题。故选A。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“Andre Ilbawi, WHO’s technical officer in cancer control, says more people are dying from cancer in poorer countries. Controlling the disease does not have to cost a lot. The WHO report, he explained, shows that by investing in cancer services, governments can save 7 million lives by 2030. “And that is at the cost of $2.70 per person in low-income countries and $8.15 per person in upper middle-income countries.(世界卫生组织(WHO)癌症防控技术官员安德烈・伊尔巴维表示,较贫困国家有更多人死于癌症。但防控这种疾病的成本并非高不可攀。他解释称,世卫组织的报告显示,通过投资癌症医疗服务,各国政府到2030年可挽救700万人的生命。而这一投入的成本,在低收入国家为人均2.70美元,在中高收入国家为人均8.15美元。)”可知,Ilbawi认为通过投资癌症服务来挽救生命这个措施是可行的,因此,“feasible”在此处的意思是“可行的,切实可行的”。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“WHO says cancer does not have to be a death sentence. Prevention works.(世卫组织表示,癌症不一定是死刑。预防是有效的。)”、第四段“There have been great improvements in research on cancer prevention and treatment. These measures are successfully keeping many people alive who otherwise would have died.(癌症预防和治疗的研究取得了很大进展。这些措施成功地让许多本会死亡的人活了下来。)”和第五段“In its report, WHO describes a series of measures proven to help in preventing new cancer cases.(在其报告中,世卫组织描述了一系列经证实有助于预防新癌症病例的措施。)”可知,作者对癌症预防持乐观态度。故选C。

主旨大意题。文章第一段讲述了自2010年以来,几乎每个国家的癌症患者数量都有所增加,第二段讲述了世卫组织的技术官员Andre Ilbawi表示,在较贫穷的国家,死于癌症的人更多,但控制这种疾病并不需要花费很多,通过投资癌症服务,政府可以在2030年前挽救700万人的生命,第三段到第五段讲述了世卫组织表示癌症不一定是死刑,预防是有效的,癌症预防和治疗的研究取得了很大进展,并且世卫组织在其报告中描述了一系列经证实有助于预防新癌症病例的措施。由此可知,文章主要讲述了癌症病例的增加情况,同时指出癌症并非绝症,预防措施有效且可行,因此选项C“癌症在增加,但并非绝症”最能概括文章主旨,适合作为标题。故选C。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了想要了解筷子这个古老用具的艺术,就要了解使用它的一些禁忌问题。
【36题详解】
根据前文内容once in a while your close friends might remind you about some basic chopsticks etiquette(礼节) such as never insert chopsticks vertically(垂直地) into a bowl of rice.(你的亲密朋友可能会不时提醒你一些基本的筷子礼仪,如永远不要把筷子垂直插入一碗米饭。)可知,E选项中的this old tool指的是前文的chopsticks,再根据下文可知,下文主要介绍使用筷子的一些禁忌,故E项(如果你想掌握使用这个古老用具的艺术)承接下文,故选E。
【37题详解】
根据空后的because a coffin without a lid is composed of five boards, three long, and two short.(因为没有盖子的棺材是由五块板组成的)可知,D选项中的coffin和下文相呼应,故选D。
【38题详解】
根据下文的Chinese people believe that their ancestors are resting underneath the earth, and dropping chopsticks would disturb them.(中国人相信他们的祖先在地下休息,掉筷子会打扰他们。)可知 ,A选项(不要把筷子掉在地板上。)能作为主旨句来概括本段内容,故选A。
【39题详解】
根据空前的Don’t make noise with chopsticks by hitting the side of your bowl,(不要用筷子敲击碗的侧面发出声音)可知,该句是主句部分,B选项是从句部分,另外B选项(因为只有乞丐这样做是为了引起他人注意)是用来解释其原因的,故选B。
【40题详解】
根据前文的While passing someone a bowl of rice or noodles, never insert the chopsticks vertically in the middle of the food for convenience.(当递给别人一碗米饭或面条时,不要为了方便而把筷子垂直插在食物中间。)可知,G选项中的the action指“把筷子垂直插在食物中间”这个动作,且语义(这个动作会让人们想起为死者上香来以表纪念)能承接上文,故选G。
【点睛】单词复现法是七选五常用的大题技巧之一,即选项和原文中的某些词相同或互为词根词缀的形式相呼应。比如第1题,D选项中的coffin和下文because a coffin without a lid is composed of five boards, three long, and two short.(因为没有盖子的棺材是由五块板组成的)中的coffin相呼应。

Emerging evidence in humans suggests a ____56____ (typical) Western high-fat, high-sugar junk food diet can quickly weaken your brain's appetite control.

When it’s interrupted, ____60____ control can be seriously damaged.

【56题详解】
考查副词。句意:人类的新证据表明,典型的西方高脂肪、高糖垃圾食品饮食会迅速削弱大脑的食欲控制。分析句意可知,typical修饰western,western是形容词,应用副词typically修饰。故填typically。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意:澳大利亚的研究人员为志愿者提供了为期一周的华夫饼、奶昔和类似的丰富食物后,发现年轻健康的志愿者在记忆测试中得分更差,即使已经吃饱了,他们也更渴望吃垃圾食品。根据句意可知,此处应使用great的比较级来指代他们的食欲增加。故填greater。
【58题详解】
考查关系词。句意:研究结果表明,海马体是大脑里的一个区域,里面中有一种特殊的物质支持记忆,有助于调节食欲。分析句子结构可知,a region of the brain 是hippocampus的同位语,此句的谓语是suggest,故supports是从句的谓语,先行词是hippocampus,在从句中做主语,故填that或者which。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语。句意:当我们吃饱时,海马体被认为可以平静我们对美味食物的记忆,从而降低我们的食欲。分析句子结构可知reduce在句中应用非谓语动词作结果状语,应用现在分词。故填reducing。

考查形容词。句意:2017年,在吃了一周的烤三明治和奶昔的西式早餐后,研究人员发现参与者在学习和记忆测试中表现较差,而学习和记忆测试通常依赖于海马体。根据句意可知,“烤三明治”是完成的状态,故用过去分词。故填toasted。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:2017年,在吃了一周的烤三明治和奶昔的西式早餐后,研究人员发现参与者在学习和记忆测试中表现较差,而学习和记忆测试通常依赖于海马体。根据固定用法be dependent on,意为“依靠,依赖”。故填on。
【64题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:现在,在这项最新的研究中,该团队的科学家们发现,这种高脂肪、高糖的饮食不仅会损害人类的记忆力,而且似乎会直接影响我们控制食欲的能力。根据句意可知,这项研究从过去到现在一直没有中断,而且有发现,对现在产生了影响,应用现在完成时。主语为the scientists of the team,谓语动词应用复数形式。故填have found。
【65题详解】
考查不定式。句意:现在,在这项最新的研究中,该团队的科学家们发现,这种高脂肪、高糖的饮食不仅会损害人类的记忆力,而且似乎会直接影响我们控制食欲的能力。ability to do sth,是习惯性用法,意为“做某事的能力”。故填 to control。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At 16, I got what every teenager dreams of — a driver’s license, but I was afraid of driving on the road. “Do you want to drive home, Alice?” Mom asked when she picked me up from school.
I hesitated, saying, “Really? Are you sure?”
“Okay,” I jumped in the driver’s seat as soon as Mom said yes.
When we reached the country road, I stopped. “Now, look both ways,” Mom instructed. “Turn your steering wheel (方向盘) to the left. Give it some gas, but take it slowly. We’re not in any hurry.”
I pulled onto the narrow road. We kept moving and everything was fine until a truck came up. I looked in the mirror. I guessed it didn’t occur to the man to slow down as his truck approached our car. When I failed to speed up, he honked (鸣喇叭). My hands held the steering wheel tightly.
“You’d better turn and let this guy pass,” Mom said.
The guy honked again before I got to where I needed to turn. Mom shouted, “Turn, turn here!”
I felt like I couldn’t make the turn, but I did what I was told. I turned the wheel and our car fell into the ditch (沟渠) alongside the road. My foot hit the gas pedal, and the engine roared like an angry lion. Our car flew across the ditch.
Mom cried, “Hit the brake (刹车)!” The car landed heavily.
My hands dropped from the steering wheel. For a moment, we sat silently. I took several deep breaths, afraid to look at my mom. Finally, she asked, “Are you OK?” “Yeah,” I replied and turned to see an injury to her face. I thought I was going to be blamed, but when our eyes met, she burst into wild laughter. We climbed from the car and leaned against it to steady ourselves.
注意:
续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
We had hardly steadied ourselves when we saw the truck driver walking towards us.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As soon as the truck driver helped drive our car back on the road, Dad called and we drove home.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】We had hardly steadied ourselves when we saw the truck driver walking towards us. Anxious and worried, we watched him as he walked, afraid of being scolded. To our surprise, the driver willingly gave us a hand, trying to help us move the car back on the road. The moment he got into the car, he held the steering wheel and hit the gas pedal, but in vain, the car didn’t move. Embarrassed as he was, he beamed a smile, and said: “what a trouble you left to me”. The he tried again, but this time, he hit the gas pedal harder, and quickly, the car moved and came back on the road.
As soon as the truck driver helped drive our car back on the road, Dad called and we drove home. We told him what happened just now. Dad expressed his worry about us and told me that I must drive under his guidance next time in case of emergencies like this. But as for me and mother, we were grateful to the truck driver who helped us out and blessed him from the bottom of my heart. Dad asked me to have a train with him the next days after he came home from work. Finally, with the help of my father’s experienced instructions, I grasped the skills of driving the car, and I thought it was extremely wonderful to drive the car by myself.
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。讲述了作者刚拿到驾照,在母亲的鼓励下开始了自己的第一次驾驶。但是由于作者是新手,在与一辆卡车相遇时,由于紧张而将车开进了沟渠里。卡车司机下车来帮助作者将车开回到路面上。回到家后,作者把路上发生的事情告诉了父亲,父亲嘱咐作者以后开车必须在父亲的指导下。在父亲的陪伴练习几次后,作者已经能独自驾驶了,作者认为独自开车是一件很不错的事情。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我们刚平静下来就看到卡车司机朝我们走过来”可知,本段可以写卡车司机帮我们将车从沟渠里开出来,第一次没成功,再试了一次后,就成功地将车开回到了路上。
②由第二段首句内容“卡车司机一将车开回到路上,爸爸就打电话来让我们回家”可知,本段可以写我们回家后将事情告诉了爸爸,爸爸表示很担心,并嘱咐我以后开车必须在他的指导下。并且在爸爸的几次陪伴练习下,我成功地学会了开车。
2.续写线索:卡车司机朝我们走过来→帮我们将车开回到路上→爸爸打电话让我们回家→跟爸爸讲述发生的事→爸爸嘱咐我,练车必须要在他的陪伴下→在爸爸的陪伴下我学会了开车。

A good doormat is a must all year round. Our beautifully handmade doormats are made from traditional materials. They are hard-wearing and long-lasting, protect your floors from being tracked in dirt and dust, and clean shoes brilliantly.
Our beautiful mats decorate the doorsteps of many museums. They are made of high quality natural materials and fit in perfectly with their surroundings, in a wide range of thicknesses to make a mat to your exact needs. Our doormats are handmade in our UK workshop to ensure their maximum use.

After one year in my wheelchair with Multiple Sclerosis (硬化),I longed for a change-something similar to the way I’d lived life before MS, with a seize-the-moment energy. I’d gone through suffering since my diagnosis. In the beginning, it was hard enough to feel okay about remaining seated in the church bench while the rest of the crowd stood up to sing a hymn (赞美诗). The wheelchair was a game changer in regaining some of my independence. I wanted to take some of that back.
Not long after my prayer, a huge advertisement caught my attention: Tandem Skydiving. “That’s it!” My husband warned, my kids sighed, but I had my answer. I contacted the company and set everything up.
Blue skies and white puffy clouds awaited on the day of my appointment. My family, parents and in-laws gathered down at the drop zone to witness the big event. I stayed up the hill, where I was helped into an orange jumpsuit before sitting down with my tandem partner. I listened carefully as he went over expected and unexpected situations, including what to do if the parachute (降落伞) didn’t open. Without a flash of fear, I got on the airplane with the other jumpers who’d signed up, their tandem partners and several skydivers whose job was to document the jumps. Cameras were attached to their helmets.
When it was my turn, I was positioned on my partner’s lap with our feet hanging out the door. Thank you, God, for this opportunity to seize the moment. My partner counted backward from five. When he got to “one”, we jumped!
Falling and then floating through the air was even more freeing than I had imagined. What a party it was! My husband, kids, parents and in-laws were as excited as if they’d jumped themselves.
The family hovered over me when the pictures arrived at home in the mail. We gazed at them, and I relived the adventure as I explained what was happening in each photo. I’d taken back my life with God as my parachute, and that might be the best change MS has offered me so far.
24. What does the underlined “that” refer to in paragraph 1?
A. The convenience of using a wheelchair.
B. The bright way of life she had before MS.
C. The sufferings from being diagnosed with MS.
D. The right to sit while singing hymns in church.
25. What did the tandem partner do before the jump?
A. He settled down to witness the risky activity.
B. He explained potential dangers when skydiving.
C. He took photos of the author to record the moment.
D. He helped the author practice jumping on the ground.
26. Which words can best describe the author?
A. Intelligent and optimistic. B. Adventurous and caring.
C. Courageous and determined. D. Cautious and thoughtful.
27. What lesson can we learn from the author’s experience?
A. Always prepare for a rainy day.
B. Opportunity seldom knocks twice.
C. To live in the present is a miracle.
D. A good beginning makes a good ending.

When he puts aside his suits after long hours of work as a financial professional, Hong Kong resident Marco Kwok happily embraces another identity: a host to visitors from around the world.
As a volunteer in the “Hong Kong Pals” program organized by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, Kwok takes joy in sharing hidden treasures known only to locals with visitors. “As a cultural ambassador, I not only give visitors important information but also learn from their backgrounds, which I then share with my friends and family,” he says.
Since the program started in 2009, it has brought together about 100 volunteers from different backgrounds. These people are eager to share Hong Kong’s culture and lifestyle, offering helpful local advice and ensuring every guest feels the city’s distinctive warmth and charm.
Agnes Tam, a retired executive, remembers a special experience. She helped an elderly man, who was born in Hong Kong but had lived in the UK, relive his childhood memories through old photos. “We found 19 of the 20 places in his photos,” she says. “He gave me his photo album as a thank-you gift.” Although her life after retirement is busy, Tam enjoys volunteering. “It not only enriches my life but also gives me a sense of purpose and happiness,” she adds.
For many volunteers, Hong Kong Pals is not just about helping others but also rediscovering their city. Agnes Lo, a civil servant, learned about the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance while preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival. “I got to know more about this tradition and was excited to share it with visitors,” she says.
“Over the past 14 years, our volunteers have contributed nearly 70,000 hours of service,” said Bakky Cheng, director of visitor services at the Hong Kong Tourism Board. For the past two decades, Cheng has witnessed the thriving growth of the volunteer team and the transformation of HongKong’s tourism industry.
What remains unchanged is Hong Kong’s hospitality. “Through comprehensive training, we ensure every volunteer is updated with the latest tourism trends and masters the art of hospitality, so they can tell a better Hong Kong story to the world,” Cheng said.
28. What similarity Marco Kwok and Agnes Lo share in voluntary work?
A. Their own professions offer much help. B. They mainly focus on traditional cultures.
C. They’re the key members of the program. D. They gain some new insights from the work.
29. What does volunteering mean to Agnes Tam?
A. It allows her to relive her childhood memories.
B. It gives her a sense of fulfillment and enjoyment.
C. It provides opportunities to engage with new people.
D. It helps her learn more about Hong Kong’s traditions.
30. What can be inferred from Cheng’s words in the last two paragraphs?
A. The program expects more volunteers to join.
B. The city’s boom counts on developing tourism.
C. They go to great lengths to promote the city’s image.
D. The program is decisive in boosting the city’s tourism.
31. What’s the suitable title of the text?
A. Hong Kong Pals: the bridge of cultures and hearts.
B. Hong Kong’s tourism: the focus of cultural awareness.
C. Hong Kong culture: the hidden treasure worth exploring.
D. Hong Kong’s volunteers: the group from all walks of life.

Since 2010, nearly every country has seen an increase in the number of cancer patients. The WHO reports one in six people will develop cancer in their lifetime. At least 10 million people will die from the disease every year. If the current trend continues, new cancer cases will rise by 60 percent by the year 2040. In low- and middle-income countries, they will rise by more than 80 percent.
Andre Ilbawi, WHO’s technical officer in cancer control, says more people are dying from cancer in poorer countries. Controlling the disease does not have to cost a lot. The WHO report, he explained, shows that by investing in cancer services, governments can save 7 million lives by 2030. “And that is at the cost of $2.70 per person in low-income countries and $8.15 per person in upper middle-income countries. This is feasible,” Ilbawi said.
WHO says cancer does not have to be a death sentence. Prevention works.
There have been great improvements in research on cancer prevention and treatment. These measures are successfully keeping many people alive who otherwise would have died. Preventive policies can work in powerful ways to reduce not only cancer numbers and death rates, but also the social and economic inequality in cancer cases. An example of such a policy is one that reduces workers’ contact with cancer-causing materials. Other examples are measures to control tobacco use, vaccination against cancer-causing infectious agents and testing for early stages of cancer.
In its report, WHO describes a series of measures proven to help in preventing new cancer cases. For example, it notes that tobacco-related diseases are responsible for 25 percent of cancer deaths. Deciding not to smoke, it says, can save billions of dollars and millions of lives. WHO adds that a vaccine against hepatitis B (乙肝) can prevent liver cancer. It notes another vaccine against HPV can nearly fight off cervical cancer (宫颈癌).
32. How does the author lead in the topic?
A. By citing specific data. B. By making a comparison.
C. By giving a vivid example. D. By clarifying a personal viewpoint.
33. What does the underlined word “feasible” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Practicable. B. Valuable. C. incredible. D. Responsible.
34. What is the author’s attitude towards cancer prevention?
A. Unclear. B. Unconcerned. C. Hopeful. D. Critical.
35. What can be the suitable title for the text?
A. The Latest Report By The WHO.
B. Prevention Is Better Than cure.
C. Cancers Increasing But Not a Death Sentence.
D. WHO: Cancer Poses a Great Threat To Humanity.

At 16, I got what every teenager dreams of — a driver’s license, but I was afraid of driving on the road. “Do you want to drive home, Alice?” Mom asked when she picked me up from school.
I hesitated, saying, “Really? Are you sure?”
“Okay,” I jumped in the driver’s seat as soon as Mom said yes.
When we reached the country road, I stopped. “Now, look both ways,” Mom instructed. “Turn your steering wheel (方向盘) to the left. Give it some gas, but take it slowly. We’re not in any hurry.”
I pulled onto the narrow road. We kept moving and everything was fine until a truck came up. I looked in the mirror. I guessed it didn’t occur to the man to slow down as his truck approached our car. When I failed to speed up, he honked (鸣喇叭). My hands held the steering wheel tightly.
“You’d better turn and let this guy pass,” Mom said.
The guy honked again before I got to where I needed to turn. Mom shouted, “Turn, turn here!”
I felt like I couldn’t make the turn, but I did what I was told. I turned the wheel and our car fell into the ditch (沟渠) alongside the road. My foot hit the gas pedal, and the engine roared like an angry lion. Our car flew across the ditch.
Mom cried, “Hit the brake (刹车)!” The car landed heavily.
My hands dropped from the steering wheel. For a moment, we sat silently. I took several deep breaths, afraid to look at my mom. Finally, she asked, “Are you OK?” “Yeah,” I replied and turned to see an injury to her face. I thought I was going to be blamed, but when our eyes met, she burst into wild laughter. We climbed from the car and leaned against it to steady ourselves.

We had hardly steadied ourselves when we saw the truck driver walking towards us.
