In a program called “Go West” to help bridge the gap, many young volunteers have traveled to these areas, leaving their comfortable urban (都市的) lives behind and choosing to grow alongside the children. 1 . Since 2003, tens of thousands of university graduates have served in the “Go West” program, in order to offer the children there opportunities for a broader and brighter future. 2 At Xinjiang’s Xieyite Primary School, Gao Chao came to teach here after graduation. She noticed children here have difficulty in understanding common math problems using examples like “getting on and off the bus”. So she changed the content to meet the local needs, using sheep-counting problems instead: “There were a certain number of sheep in the pen, some were let out in the morning, and some came back in the evening. How many are there now?” 3 Gao Shuxian joined this school in 2023. Seeing most students haven’t stepped outside their hometown, she shared her travel photos and videos during breaks. Moreover, in August 2024, she and three other teachers took 12 students on a study tour to Beijing. “After this trip, I realized if I study hard now, I will have more choices in the future,” a girl called Dilizhada said. 4 —living in the mountains forever. Yan, another volunteer teacher at the school, is known among the students as their warm-hearted “big brother”. He carefully observes the children’s learning habits and pays regular home visits. 5 . Yan also held a class talk about “how to get along with classmates”, teaching kids to help and understand each other. The volunteer team, averaging 24 years old, was recently honored with the China Youth May Fourth Medal—the highest honor for Chinese youths aged 14 to 40—for their contributions to ethnic unity and border stability. A. She used to think that her life would be like that of her parents B. Thus, he is always quick to notice their needs C. By doing this, she makes the lessons easy and fun D. As a result, children in these places have an equal right to education E. For many of the children, it was their first glimpse (瞥) of the wider world F. Nearly 300 pupils have benefited from the program 重点词汇梳理 developed /dɪˈveləpt/ adj. 发达的，成熟的 gap /ɡæp/ n. 差距，缺口 alongside /əˌlɒŋˈsaɪd/ prep./adv. 在……旁边 graduate /ˈɡrædʒuət/ n./v. 毕业生，毕业 serve /sɜːv/ v. 服务，提供 opportunity /ˌɒpəˈtjuːnəti/ n. 机会 content /ˈkɒntent/ n. 内容，目录 average /ˈævərɪdʒ/ n. / v. 平均数，平均为 长难句解析 原句1：（第一段第二句） In a program called “Go West” to help bridge the gap, many young volunteers have traveled to these areas, leaving their comfortable urban (都市的) lives behind and choosing to grow alongside the children. 译文：在一项名为 “西部计划”、旨在缩小差距的项目中，许多年轻志愿者奔赴这些地区，告别了舒适的都市生活，选择和孩子们共同成长。 分析：本句是一个简单句，主干为many young volunteers have traveled to these areas。句首的In a program called “Go West” to help bridge the gap是介词短语作状语，其中called “Go West”是过去分词短语作后置定语修饰program，to help bridge the gap是不定式作目的状语；句末的leaving their comfortable urban lives behind and choosing to grow alongside the children是现在分词短语作伴随状语，说明志愿者奔赴西部时的伴随动作。 原句2：（第五段第一句）The volunteer team, averaging 24 years old, was recently honored with the China Youth May Fourth Medal—the highest honor for Chinese youths aged 14 to 40—for their contributions to ethnic unity and border stability. 译文：这支平均年龄 24 岁的志愿者团队，近期因其在民族团结与边境稳定方面的贡献，荣获了 “中国青年五四奖章”—— 这是面向 14 至 40 岁中国青年的最高荣誉。 分析：本句是一个简单句，主干为The volunteer team was recently honored with the China Youth May Fourth Medal。averaging 24 years old是现在分词短语作插入语，补充说明志愿者团队的年龄特征；两个破折号之间的the highest honor for Chinese youths aged 14 to 40是同位语，对 “中国青年五四奖章” 进行解释说明；句末的for their contributions to ethnic unity and border stability是介词短语作原因状语，说明团队获奖的原因。 译文 在中国西部的偏远地区，教育资源不如东部地区发达。在一项名为 “西部计划”、旨在缩小这一差距的项目中，许多年轻志愿者奔赴这些地区，告别了舒适的都市生活，选择和孩子们共同成长。近 300 名学生已从该项目中受益。自 2003 年以来，数以万计的大学毕业生参与 “西部计划”，为的是给当地孩子提供更广阔、更光明的未来。 在新疆谢依特小学，高超毕业后就来到这里任教。她发现，当地孩子很难理解用 “上下公交车” 这类例子编写的常规数学题。于是她调整了教学内容以贴合当地需求，改用数羊的问题：“羊圈里有若干只羊，早上放出去几只，晚上又回来几只，现在羊圈里有多少只羊？” 通过这样的方式，她让课程变得既简单又有趣。 高淑贤于 2023 年加入这所学校。看到大多数学生从未走出过家乡，她会在课间分享自己的旅行照片和视频。此外，在 2024 年 8 月，她和另外三位老师带着 12 名学生前往北京开展研学旅行。“这次旅行之后，我意识到如果现在努力学习，未来就会有更多选择，” 一个名叫迪利扎达的女孩说。对很多孩子来说，这是他们第一次窥见更广阔的世界 —— 而不是一辈子都住在大山里。 该校另一位志愿者老师闫同学，被学生们亲切地称为热心的 “大哥哥”。他仔细观察孩子们的学习习惯，还定期进行家访。因此，他总能很快察觉到孩子们的需求。闫老师还开展了主题为 “如何与同学相处” 的班会，教孩子们互相帮助、彼此理解。 这支平均年龄 24 岁的志愿者团队，近期因其在民族团结与边境稳定方面的贡献，荣获了 “中国青年五四奖章”—— 这是面向 14 至 40 岁中国青年的最高荣誉。 Passage B（搁浅的鲸鱼） “Save the whales!” That’s what the picture on Jake Smith’s bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed what he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood. It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whale’s coming. Many animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake’s home town. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but nothing they’d have to do anything about. Then one whale swam directly towards the land. It came in with the waves. When the waves receded, it stayed. Its huge body was on the sand. Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers. A few people ran towards the huge whale. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use. The whale was so heavy that they couldn’t move it. An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the whale. Jake and his family couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least, Jake thought, they could do something. Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shone the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times, they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to the sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then, in what looked like a jump of joy, it rose high above the water — a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save its life. 1. What does the beginning of the story tell us about Jake? A. He didn’t like his neighbourhood. B. He worked in an animal rescue team. C. He thought whales were the most beautiful animals. D. He was concerned about animals. 2. What does the underlined word “receded” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Didn’t sleep. B. Went forward. C. Moved away. D. Rose up. 3. How did Jake and his family help save the whale? A. By asking local people for help. B. By giving the rescuers food and drink. C. By calling the rescue service. D. By moving the whale on the truck. 4. Which shows the correct order of the following events according to the passage? a. People had to become rescuers. b. The whale disappeared under the sea. c. People turned on the lights of their cars. d. Rescuers lifted the whale into the water. e. People failed to push the whale towards the sea. f. People in Jack’s home town went to see the whale. A. f → a → e → c → d → b B. f → a → d → e → c → b C. c → a → e → f → d → b D. c → a → b → f → d → e 重点词汇梳理 neighbourhood /ˈneɪbəhʊd/ n. 街区，社区 close to 靠近，接近 rescue /ˈreskjuː/ v./n/ 拯救，救援 lift /lɪft/ v. 举起，抬起 长难句解析 原句1：（第一段第三句） He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood. 译文：他只是从未想过，自己会有机会拯救一头真正的鲸鱼，而且就在自家附近。 分析：本句是一个简单句，主干为He just never expected to get a chance。to save a real whale是不定式作后置定语，修饰chance；one right in his own neighbourhood是同位语，用来补充说明前面的a real whale，其中right是副词，起强调作用，意为 “恰恰、正好”。 原句2：（第五段最后一句）Then, in what looked like a jump of joy, it rose high above the water — a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save its life. 译文：接着，它高高跃出水面，那动作看起来像是在快乐地跳跃 —— 这是对那些奋力拯救它生命的人们的一种感谢。 分析：本句主干为it rose high above the water。in what looked like a jump of joy是介词短语作状语，其中what looked like a jump of joy是宾语从句，作介词in的宾语；破折号后的a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save its life是同位语，用来解释说明前面的跳跃动作，其中who had worked so hard to save its life是定语从句，修饰先行词those。 译文 “救救鲸鱼！”这是杰克・史密斯卧室墙上那张海报的标语。杰克喜欢贴这种有意义的海报，它们能表达他所关心的事。但他从未想过，自己真的会有机会拯救一头真正的鲸鱼，而且就在自家附近。 那是一个周六的早晨，报纸首次报道了鲸鱼的到来。许多动物游到了杰克家乡的海滩附近，当地所有人都涌向海滩去看它们。大家都期待一场比电影还精彩的视觉盛宴，完全没料到自己会需要为此做点什么。 这时，一头鲸鱼径直朝岸边游来。它随着浪涛冲上沙滩，当潮水退去后，却留在了原地 —— 庞大的身躯陷在沙里。一瞬间，杰克和家人，还有所有围观的人们，都不再是游客，而是成了救援者。几个人冲向这头巨鲸，奋力想要把它推回海里，可一切都是徒劳。鲸鱼实在太重了，他们根本挪不动。 动物救援服务队很快开着装有重型起重设备的卡车赶到了。杰克和家人在海滩上帮不上太多忙，于是回到家里，为救援人员做了三明治和热茶。杰克心想，至少他们能做点什么。 回到海滩后，他们把食物递给救援人员，看到大家确实需要这些补给，心里感到很欣慰。天色渐渐暗了下来，一些人把车排成一排停在海滩边，用车灯照亮沙滩。救援人员始终没有放弃。经过多次尝试，他们终于把鲸鱼吊回了水里。当鲸鱼朝着大海游去时，所有人都欢呼起来。它游出大约一英里后，短暂潜入海中，接着又高高跃出水面 —— 仿佛是在快乐地跳跃，以此向那些奋力拯救它的人们表达感谢。 话题写作佳句积累 1.

It was so special and meaningful that I will never forget it. Last winter, my friends and I took a plane to Guilin. When we arrived, two local teachers took us to a hotel. We began preparing lessons for our students that night. The next day, we took the first bus to Hope School in a small village. Most of the students there were left-behind children. This means they remain at home under the care of their grandparents. Their parents work in other cities and only come back home during the Spring Festival. Our volunteer group was asked to teach 3rd and 4th graders. I taught the students English in different ways, such as playing word games and singing English songs. After class, they often interacted with me. They shared their hobbies, told me their dreams and introduced their special festivals to me. I told them about myself and Western culture. The more I taught, the more I realized I was not just giving the students lessons. I was also teaching them good values (价值观). Those little moments—like when I encouraged them to help a classmate or to stick with their dreams—slowly influenced how they treated others and faced difficulties. Though the experience has come to an end, I can still see the lovely kids in my dreams sometimes. I believe they will grow up to be the best that they can be. 1.

In a program called “Go West” to help bridge the gap, many young volunteers have traveled to these areas, leaving their comfortable urban (都市的) lives behind and choosing to grow alongside the children. 1 . Since 2003, tens of thousands of university graduates have served in the “Go West” program, in order to offer the children there opportunities for a broader and brighter future. 2 At Xinjiang’s Xieyite Primary School, Gao Chao came to teach here after graduation. She noticed children here have difficulty in understanding common math problems using examples like “getting on and off the bus”. So she changed the content to meet the local needs, using sheep-counting problems instead: “There were a certain number of sheep in the pen, some were let out in the morning, and some came back in the evening. How many are there now?” 3 Gao Shuxian joined this school in 2023. Seeing most students haven’t stepped outside their hometown, she shared her travel photos and videos during breaks. Moreover, in August 2024, she and three other teachers took 12 students on a study tour to Beijing. “After this trip, I realized if I study hard now, I will have more choices in the future,” a girl called Dilizhada said. 4 —living in the mountains forever. Yan, another volunteer teacher at the school, is known among the students as their warm-hearted “big brother”. He carefully observes the children’s learning habits and pays regular home visits. 5 . Yan also held a class talk about “how to get along with classmates”, teaching kids to help and understand each other. The volunteer team, averaging 24 years old, was recently honored with the China Youth May Fourth Medal—the highest honor for Chinese youths aged 14 to 40—for their contributions to ethnic unity and border stability. A. She used to think that her life would be like that of her parents B. Thus, he is always quick to notice their needs C. By doing this, she makes the lessons easy and fun D. As a result, children in these places have an equal right to education E. For many of the children, it was their first glimpse (瞥) of the wider world F. Nearly 300 pupils have benefited from the program 【参考答案】1. D 2. F 3. C 4. A 5. B 【导语】本文主要讲述了在中国西部偏远地区，教育资源相对东部不发达，许多年轻志愿者参与“Go West”计划，前往这些地区支教，为当地孩子提供更广阔和光明的未来机会，并通过具体事例展现了志愿者们的付出和贡献，以及他们因此获得的荣誉。 1. 根据“Since 2003, tens of thousands of university graduates have served in the ‘Go West’ program, in order to offer the children there opportunities for a broader and brighter future.”可知，该计划为西部孩子提供了更广阔和光明的未来机会，选项D“因此，这些地方的孩子有平等接受教育的权利”符合语境，说明了计划带来的结果。故选D。 2. 根据“in order to offer the children there opportunities for a broader and brighter future.”和“At Xinjiang’s Xieyite Primary School, Gao Chao came to teach here after graduation”可知，此处需先介绍该小学受“西部计划”影响的整体情况，再引出具体人物。选项F“近300名学生从该项目中受益。”符合语境。故选F。 3. 根据“So she changed the content to meet the local needs, using sheep-counting problems instead: ‘There were a certain number of sheep in the pen, some were let out in the morning, and some came back in the evening. How many are there now?’”可知此处需体现“调整教学内容”带来的效果。选项C“通过这样做，她让课程变得简单又有趣”符合语境，故选C。 4. 根据“After this trip, I realized if I study hard now, I will have more choices in the future,””以及后文破折号后的“living in the mountains forever.”可知，此处需体现Dilizhada过去的想法，与现在形成对比。选项A“她过去认为自己的生活将会和父母一样”符合语境，既承接前文“过去的想法”，又与后文“永远生活在山里”呼应，故选A。 5. 根据“He carefully observes the children’s learning habits and pays regular home visits”可知，此处需体现“观察习惯 + 定期家访” 的结果。选项B“因此，他总能很快注意到他们的需求”符合语境，故选B。 重点词汇梳理 developed /dɪˈveləpt/ adj. 发达的，成熟的 gap /ɡæp/ n. 差距，缺口 alongside /əˌlɒŋˈsaɪd/ prep./adv. 在……旁边 graduate /ˈɡrædʒuət/ n./v. 毕业生，毕业 serve /sɜːv/ v. 服务，提供 opportunity /ˌɒpəˈtjuːnəti/ n. 机会 content /ˈkɒntent/ n. 内容，目录 average /ˈævərɪdʒ/ n. / v. 平均数，平均为 长难句解析 原句1：（第一段第二句） In a program called “Go West” to help bridge the gap, many young volunteers have traveled to these areas, leaving their comfortable urban (都市的) lives behind and choosing to grow alongside the children. 译文：在一项名为 “西部计划”、旨在缩小差距的项目中，许多年轻志愿者奔赴这些地区，告别了舒适的都市生活，选择和孩子们共同成长。 分析：本句是一个简单句，主干为many young volunteers have traveled to these areas。句首的In a program called “Go West” to help bridge the gap是介词短语作状语，其中called “Go West”是过去分词短语作后置定语修饰program，to help bridge the gap是不定式作目的状语；句末的leaving their comfortable urban lives behind and choosing to grow alongside the children是现在分词短语作伴随状语，说明志愿者奔赴西部时的伴随动作。 原句2：（第五段第一句）The volunteer team, averaging 24 years old, was recently honored with the China Youth May Fourth Medal—the highest honor for Chinese youths aged 14 to 40—for their contributions to ethnic unity and border stability. 译文：这支平均年龄 24 岁的志愿者团队，近期因其在民族团结与边境稳定方面的贡献，荣获了 “中国青年五四奖章”—— 这是面向 14 至 40 岁中国青年的最高荣誉。 分析：本句是一个简单句，主干为The volunteer team was recently honored with the China Youth May Fourth Medal。averaging 24 years old是现在分词短语作插入语，补充说明志愿者团队的年龄特征；两个破折号之间的the highest honor for Chinese youths aged 14 to 40是同位语，对 “中国青年五四奖章” 进行解释说明；句末的for their contributions to ethnic unity and border stability是介词短语作原因状语，说明团队获奖的原因。 译文 在中国西部的偏远地区，教育资源不如东部地区发达。在一项名为 “西部计划”、旨在缩小这一差距的项目中，许多年轻志愿者奔赴这些地区，告别了舒适的都市生活，选择和孩子们共同成长。近 300 名学生已从该项目中受益。自 2003 年以来，数以万计的大学毕业生参与 “西部计划”，为的是给当地孩子提供更广阔、更光明的未来。 在新疆谢依特小学，高超毕业后就来到这里任教。她发现，当地孩子很难理解用 “上下公交车” 这类例子编写的常规数学题。于是她调整了教学内容以贴合当地需求，改用数羊的问题：“羊圈里有若干只羊，早上放出去几只，晚上又回来几只，现在羊圈里有多少只羊？” 通过这样的方式，她让课程变得既简单又有趣。 高淑贤于 2023 年加入这所学校。看到大多数学生从未走出过家乡，她会在课间分享自己的旅行照片和视频。此外，在 2024 年 8 月，她和另外三位老师带着 12 名学生前往北京开展研学旅行。“这次旅行之后，我意识到如果现在努力学习，未来就会有更多选择，” 一个名叫迪利扎达的女孩说。对很多孩子来说，这是他们第一次窥见更广阔的世界 —— 而不是一辈子都住在大山里。 该校另一位志愿者老师闫同学，被学生们亲切地称为热心的 “大哥哥”。他仔细观察孩子们的学习习惯，还定期进行家访。因此，他总能很快察觉到孩子们的需求。闫老师还开展了主题为 “如何与同学相处” 的班会，教孩子们互相帮助、彼此理解。 这支平均年龄 24 岁的志愿者团队，近期因其在民族团结与边境稳定方面的贡献，荣获了 “中国青年五四奖章”—— 这是面向 14 至 40 岁中国青年的最高荣誉。 Passage B（搁浅的鲸鱼） “Save the whales!” That’s what the picture on Jake Smith’s bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed what he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood. It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whale’s coming. Many animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake’s home town. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but nothing they’d have to do anything about. Then one whale swam directly towards the land. It came in with the waves. When the waves receded, it stayed. Its huge body was on the sand. Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers. A few people ran towards the huge whale. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use. The whale was so heavy that they couldn’t move it. An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the whale. Jake and his family couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least, Jake thought, they could do something. Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shone the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times, they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to the sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then, in what looked like a jump of joy, it rose high above the water — a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save its life. 1. What does the beginning of the story tell us about Jake? A. He didn’t like his neighbourhood. B. He worked in an animal rescue team. C. He thought whales were the most beautiful animals. D. He was concerned about animals. 2. What does the underlined word “receded” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Didn’t sleep. B. Went forward. C. Moved away. D. Rose up. 3. How did Jake and his family help save the whale? A. By asking local people for help. B. By giving the rescuers food and drink. C. By calling the rescue service. D. By moving the whale on the truck. 4. Which shows the correct order of the following events according to the passage? a. People had to become rescuers. b. The whale disappeared under the sea. c. People turned on the lights of their cars. d. Rescuers lifted the whale into the water. e. People failed to push the whale towards the sea. f. People in Jack’s home town went to see the whale. A. f → a → e → c → d → b B. f → a → d → e → c → b C. c → a → e → f → d → b D. c → a → b → f → d → e 【参考答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 4. A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Jake Smith和他的邻居们如何齐心协力救助一头搁浅的鲸鱼的故事。 1. 细节理解题。根据“‘Save the whales!’ That’s what the picture on Jake Smith’s bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed what he cared.”可知，Jake关心动物。故选D。 2. 词句猜测题。根据“it stayed. Its huge body was on the sand”可知，鲸鱼搁浅在沙滩上，应是海浪退去了，所以划线部分的含义是“退去”。故选C。 3. 细节理解题。根据“Jake and his family couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers.”可知，Jake一家通过提供食物和饮料帮助救援。故选B。 4. 细节理解题。根据“All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them.”；“ Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers.”；“They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use.”；“ It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shone the headlights on the sand.”；“After trying many times, they were finally able to lift the whale into the water…disappeared for a moment under the sea”可知，正确事件顺序：人们去看鲸鱼→ 被迫成为救援者→推鲸鱼失败→ 用车灯照明→ 救援人员将鲸鱼抬入水中→ 鲸鱼潜入海中。故选A。 重点词汇梳理 neighbourhood /ˈneɪbəhʊd/ n. 街区，社区 close to 靠近，接近 rescue /ˈreskjuː/ v./n/ 拯救，救援 lift /lɪft/ v. 举起，抬起 长难句解析 原句1：（第一段第三句） He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood. 译文：他只是从未想过，自己会有机会拯救一头真正的鲸鱼，而且就在自家附近。 分析：本句是一个简单句，主干为He just never expected to get a chance。to save a real whale是不定式作后置定语，修饰chance；one right in his own neighbourhood是同位语，用来补充说明前面的a real whale，其中right是副词，起强调作用，意为 “恰恰、正好”。 原句2：（第五段最后一句）Then, in what looked like a jump of joy, it rose high above the water — a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save its life. 译文：接着，它高高跃出水面，那动作看起来像是在快乐地跳跃 —— 这是对那些奋力拯救它生命的人们的一种感谢。 分析：本句主干为it rose high above the water。in what looked like a jump of joy是介词短语作状语，其中what looked like a jump of joy是宾语从句，作介词in的宾语；破折号后的a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save its life是同位语，用来解释说明前面的跳跃动作，其中who had worked so hard to save its life是定语从句，修饰先行词those。 译文 “救救鲸鱼！”这是杰克・史密斯卧室墙上那张海报的标语。杰克喜欢贴这种有意义的海报，它们能表达他所关心的事。但他从未想过，自己真的会有机会拯救一头真正的鲸鱼，而且就在自家附近。 那是一个周六的早晨，报纸首次报道了鲸鱼的到来。许多动物游到了杰克家乡的海滩附近，当地所有人都涌向海滩去看它们。大家都期待一场比电影还精彩的视觉盛宴，完全没料到自己会需要为此做点什么。 这时，一头鲸鱼径直朝岸边游来。它随着浪涛冲上沙滩，当潮水退去后，却留在了原地 —— 庞大的身躯陷在沙里。一瞬间，杰克和家人，还有所有围观的人们，都不再是游客，而是成了救援者。几个人冲向这头巨鲸，奋力想要把它推回海里，可一切都是徒劳。鲸鱼实在太重了，他们根本挪不动。 动物救援服务队很快开着装有重型起重设备的卡车赶到了。杰克和家人在海滩上帮不上太多忙，于是回到家里，为救援人员做了三明治和热茶。杰克心想，至少他们能做点什么。 回到海滩后，他们把食物递给救援人员，看到大家确实需要这些补给，心里感到很欣慰。天色渐渐暗了下来，一些人把车排成一排停在海滩边，用车灯照亮沙滩。救援人员始终没有放弃。经过多次尝试，他们终于把鲸鱼吊回了水里。当鲸鱼朝着大海游去时，所有人都欢呼起来。它游出大约一英里后，短暂潜入海中，接着又高高跃出水面 —— 仿佛是在快乐地跳跃，以此向那些奋力拯救它的人们表达感谢。 话题写作佳句积累 1.

It was so special and meaningful that I will never forget it. Last winter, my friends and I took a plane to Guilin. When we arrived, two local teachers took us to a hotel. We began preparing lessons for our students that night. The next day, we took the first bus to Hope School in a small village. Most of the students there were left-behind children. This means they remain at home under the care of their grandparents. Their parents work in other cities and only come back home during the Spring Festival. Our volunteer group was asked to teach 3rd and 4th graders. I taught the students English in different ways, such as playing word games and singing English songs. After class, they often interacted with me. They shared their hobbies, told me their dreams and introduced their special festivals to me. I told them about myself and Western culture. The more I taught, the more I realized I was not just giving the students lessons. I was also teaching them good values (价值观). Those little moments—like when I encouraged them to help a classmate or to stick with their dreams—slowly influenced how they treated others and faced difficulties. Though the experience has come to an end, I can still see the lovely kids in my dreams sometimes. I believe they will grow up to be the best that they can be. 1. What did the writer do on the first night in Guilin? A. Visit tourist spots. B. Get ready for the classes. C. Look for a cheap hotel. D. Take a bus to a small village. 2.

His spirit has been passed down by many people with cultural differences. Lugazo is a 24-year-old African boy. In 2017, he came to China to study. After arriving at the railway station in Wuhan, he was helpless because he had no idea which way to go, and he couldn’t speak any Chinese. A passenger sitting next to him on the train volunteered to take him to the university. The kind man was the first “Lei Feng” he met. The experience encouraged Lugazo a lot. Several months later, he joined the university’s Volunteer Team and was given a red jacket with Lei Feng’s photo on it. The next year, he did voluntary work at the Wuhan Railway Station. “Once, after I helped an old woman, her 5-year-old grandson came up to me and said ‘Thank you, Lei Feng!’. That really touched me,” he said. Another of his favorite memories was teaching English to children in a school in Hubei. Many of their parents worked in other cities, so the children lived with their grandparents. The children were quiet and seldom expressed themselves. Lugazo remembers a 10-year-old boy who was always alone in one corner. “I took him to the teachers’ office. We played games and became friends.” At first, the boy hardly took part in games during class, but after a week, he was taking part just like the others. The change made Lugazo happy. These days, anyone can be described as a “Lei Feng” if they would like to help others. More and more people like Lugazo give warmth to people in need. 1. What problem did Lugazo meet when he first arrived in Wuhan? A. He couldn’t find his friend at the station. B. He couldn’t find his way to the station. C. He couldn’t speak Chinese to ask for help. D. He didn’t study hard enough in the university. 2. How did the 10-year-old boy change with Lugazo’s help? A. The boy improved his scores. B. The boy started to do voluntary work. C. The boy kept in touch with his parents often. D. The boy became more active and outgoing. 3. What is the passage mainly about? A. Advantages of being a volunteer. B. Different ways of helping others.
