But no activity could carry on smoothly without hardworking volunteers. This month, I volunteered at the Color Run in Beijing. Although I didn’t have as 1 fun as the runners, I still learned an important lesson. My job was 2 a high five to every runner at the finish line. At the beginning we saw it 3 a simple job. When the first runner passed, we reached out our hands and yelled (大喊) “Good job” 4 . However, as more and more people crossed 5 finish line and touched their hands with mine, my arm got sore. To make things worse, it became 6 . Our clothes were all wet because of the sweat (汗) 7 we felt tired. But soon we saw a group of kids running toward us—they were about 6 years old. Although they could hardly 8 their breath, they still kept going with big smiles on their faces. They put up their hands and said, “High-five!” At that moment, I was moved by them—they were so young, and they refused to give up. Suddenly, I felt 9 become full of strength. I clapped (拍) their hands, “Well done, little guys”. That is the meaning of being a volunteer. It is never an easy job. However, we 10 different people and see the spirit that touches us.

Well, what if it could? Not by making it or spending it, but by giving it away. In an experiment in Switzerland, researchers gave each of the 50 volunteers £20 every week for four weeks. Half of the volunteers were asked to spend the money on themselves and make a note of how they spent the money. But the researchers asked the other half to spend the money on another person. After that, all 50 volunteers did the same task in a laboratory. They were asked to think of a person who they would like to give money to. Then they had to decide how much money, from £3 to £20, they wanted to give away. While the volunteers thought about this, the researchers studied their brain activities using an MRI machine. The results showed two things. First, the 25 volunteers who gave their money away during the four weeks were more generous (慷慨的) and chose to give more money away in the laboratory task. Second, those same people were much happier than the people who once spent the money on themselves. In the experiment, the volunteers were asked to give money away. But would you like to do this in your daily life? Can you really make yourself happy by giving? The answer is yes, but remember to start small. You can start by giving £1 to a homeless person. Gradually, you can try to change your habits so that you can save money to give away. For example, stop buying lunch every day and take a packed lunch to work or school. You can then save some money and give it to people in need. Learning to donate money is all about changing the way you behave. It’s about living with less and being more generous. And this will make you happy. 32．What did the researchers ask the volunteers to decide in the laboratory? A．Who needed their money most. B．How they wanted to spend their money. C．Whether they wanted to join in the experiment. D．How much money they would like to give away. 33．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A．Being a volunteer. B．Changing your habits. C．Giving money away. D．Doing the experiment. 34．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Each volunteer got £20 from researchers every day for four weeks. B．The volunteers felt unhappy after spending money on themselves. C．The researchers used an MRI machine to study volunteers’ brain activities. D．Learning to give money away doesn’t require changing our lifestyle. 35．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Money is not the key to happiness. B．Giving money away can bring happiness. C．Small acts of kindness can make a big difference. D．Changing spending habits is important for a happy life. 【答案】32．D 33．C 34．C 35．B 【导语】本文通过瑞士实验说明，把钱赠予他人而非花在自己身上，能让人更慷慨、更快乐。 32．细节理解题。根据“Then they had to decide how much money, from £3 to £20, they wanted to give away.”可知，志愿者需要决定要捐出多少钱。故选D。 33．词句猜测题。根据“In the experiment, the volunteers were asked to give money away.”可知，this指代捐钱这件事。故选C。 34．细节理解题。根据“While the volunteers thought about this, the researchers studied their brain activities using an MRI machine.”可知，研究人员用核磁共振仪研究志愿者的大脑活动。故选C。 35．主旨大意题。根据“Money can’t buy you happiness. Well, what if it could? Not by making it or spending it, but by giving it away.”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲捐钱能带来快乐。故选B。 第二节 阅读填空(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读短文及文后的A～E选项，选出可以填入各题空白处的最佳选项。 Sandy has always been interested in helping others.

It was started in 1988 by a British group called Comic Relief. The event usually happens in March in odd-numbered years (奇数年). So far, it has raised over £60 million to help kids around the world. In the UK, people celebrate Red Nose Day every two years. They wear red clothes and funny red noses, which you can buy at supermarkets. Part of the money from selling red noses goes to charity. People also host “Red Nose Parties” at home. They will sell tickets to their friends. Friends come dressed in red, and those who forget must pay a small fine. The ticket money and fines are all donated to help children in need. Red Nose Day has inspired (激发) other fun charity events worldwide. For example, Sweden has “Paws for a Cause”. In this event, pet owners run with their dogs to collect money for homeless animals. In the US, there’s “Ugly Christmas Sweater Day” every December. Americans wear funny, crazy Christmas sweaters. They hold parties to collect money to help kids in need. These activities show that doing something small and fun can lead to big changes. Comic Relief uses the money to provide food, education, and healthcare for children. They also share reports to show how the money is spent, so people know their donations are helping. Nowadays, Red Nose Day even goes online. People can buy virtual red noses and share funny photos on social media to keep the tradition alive. Red Nose Day teaches us that kindness can be fun. By wearing a red nose or an ugly sweater, everyone can join hands to create a better world. 46．When does Red Nose Day usually take place? 47．What will happen if people don’t wear red to the “Red Nose Parties”? 48．What is the purpose of “Ugly Christmas Sweater Day” in the US? 49．Where can people share funny photos? 50．As students, what else can we do to help people in need? 【答案】46．It usually takes place in March in odd-numbered years. 47．They must pay a small fine. 48．To collect money to help kids in need. 49．On social media. 50．We can donate our pocket money, collect old books and clothes for the poor, or volunteer in community service. (答案不唯一，合理即可) 【导语】本文主要介绍了“红鼻子日”这一慈善活动的起源、庆祝方式及其在全球范围内的影响。 46．根据第一段“The event usually happens in March in odd-numbered years”可知，红鼻子日通常在奇数年的三月举行。故填It usually takes place in March in odd-numbered years. 47．根据第二段“Friends come dressed in red, and those who forget must pay a small fine”可知，未穿红色服装参加派对的人需支付小额罚款。故填They must pay a small fine. 48．根据第三段“They hold parties to collect money to help kids in need”可知，美国“丑陋圣诞毛衣日”的目的是为贫困儿童筹款。故填To collect money to help kids in need. 49．根据第四段“People can buy virtual red noses and share funny photos on social media”可知，人们可在社交媒体分享搞笑照片。故填On social media. 50．开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。结合文章慈善主题，学生可通过捐款、捐物或志愿服务等方式帮助他人。参考答案为We can donate our pocket money, collect old books and clothes for the poor, or volunteer in community service. 四、写作。(本大题共3大题，共30分) 第一节 短文填空(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读短文，根据上下文和所给的首字母写出所缺单词。注意使用正确形式，每空限填一词。 A group of teenagers from Hongxing Junior High School visited a children’s hospital to help kids who had d 51 in hearing.

L 53 , they even held a drawing competition. One girl called Maria won first prize. A 54 Maria couldn’t hear or speak, her artwork showed how creative she was, and she expressed her thanks to the volunteers. The entire event was r 55 by the school to share with the community. This unforgettable experience taught the teenagers the importance of spreading love and joy. They were happy to help others. 【答案】51．(d)ifficulties 52．(b)ored 53．(L)ater 54．(A)lthough 55．(r)eported 【导语】本文讲述红星初中的青少年前往儿童医院帮助听障儿童的经历，包括组织筹款、互动游戏、绘画教学与竞赛等活动，以及活动对青少年和社区的意义。 51．句意：一群来自红星初中的青少年参观了一家儿童医院，帮助有听力障碍的孩子。“had”后需要名词，“in hearing”提示是听力方面的问题，根据首字母d可知，此处应为“have difficulties in...”，表示“在······方面有困难”，“difficulty”（困难）是可数名词，这里用复数形式“difficulties”来体现听力存在的各类问题，故填(d)ifficulties。 52．句意：他们还和孩子们一起玩一些有趣的游戏，让他们感觉不那么无聊。“feel”是系动词，后接形容词作表语，根据首字母b可以推测，孩子们在医院，玩游戏是为了让他们不觉得无趣，“bored”（无聊的）用于描述人的感受，符合语境，故填(b)ored 53．句意：后来，他们甚至举办了一场绘画比赛。从文章叙述逻辑看，前面讲了组织活动筹款、玩游戏、教绘画技能，这里说之后举办绘画比赛，需要一个表示时间先后的副词，根据首字母L，此处用“Later”（后来；稍后）清晰体现时间顺序，故填(L)ater。 54．句意：尽管玛丽亚听不见也不会说话，但她的艺术作品展现了她的创造力，她向志愿者们表达了感谢。分析句子逻辑，“Maria couldn’t hear or speak”（玛丽亚听不见也不会说话）和“her artwork showed how creative she was”（她的艺术作品展现了她的创造力）存在让步关系，即虽然有听力和语言障碍，但作品有创造力，再根据首字母A，可以“Although”（尽管；虽然）引导让步状语从句，故填(A)lthough。 55．句意：整个活动被学校报道，以便与社区分享。句子是被动语态，“was”后需要过去分词，结合首字母“r”以及语境，活动是被学校以报道的形式分享给社区，“report”（报道）的过去分词是“reported”，“be reported by...”表示“被······报道”，符合语义，故填(r)eported。 第二节 语法填空(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空，使短文通顺、连贯。 Voluntary work is a precious experience that brings warmth to others and growth to ourselves. For the past year, many students in our class 56 (devote) a lot of our free time to different kinds of voluntary work, from visiting the elderly to helping sick children in hospital. We always prepare small gifts and interesting activities 57 (cheer) up the people we help, because we know that a warm word or a happy moment can drive away their sadness and loneliness. When we stay with the lonely elderly, we talk to them patiently and listen to their life stories 58 (careful), and we never hurry to leave them alone. 59 we are busy with our schoolwork on weekdays, we still spare two hours every weekend to do voluntary work. It has become an important part of our life. Many of us used to be shy and self-centered, but now we have learned to care for others and think about their feelings first. We all believe that giving help to others is far 60 (happy) than any other fun activity in our daily life. It is the true meaning of voluntary work to share love and make the world a warmer place. 【答案】56．have devoted 57．to cheer 58．carefully 59．Though/Although 60．happier 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者班级的同学在过去一年里利用课余时间做志愿工作的经历，包括陪伴老人和生病儿童，以及志愿工作给他们自身带来的积极改变和感悟。 56．句意：在过去的一年里，我们班的许多同学投入了大量的空闲时间去做不同类型的志愿工作，从探望老人到在医院照顾患病儿童。根据“For the past year”可知，该时间状语常与现在完成时连用，表示动作从过去开始持续到现在；主语“many students”是复数，助动词用have， devote的过去分词是devoted。故填have devoted。 57．句意：我们总是准备小礼物和有趣的活动来让我们帮助的人高兴起来，因为我们知道一句温暖的话语或一个快乐的时刻可以驱散他们的悲伤和孤独。根据“...up the people we help”可知，准备礼物和活动的目的是为了让他们高兴起来，此处应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to cheer。 58．句意：当我们陪伴孤独的老人时，我们耐心地和他们交谈，认真地倾听他们的人生故事，而且我们从不急于离开他们。根据“listen to”可知，此处需修饰动词短语“listen to”，应用副词形式，careful的副词为carefully。故填carefully。 59．句意：虽然我们平日忙于学业，但我们每个周末仍然抽出两个小时做志愿工作。根据“...we are busy with our schoolwork on weekdays, we still spare two hours every weekend to do voluntary work”可知，前句说“学业繁忙”，后句说“仍然抽出时间”，是让步关系，应填连词though或者although，句首首字母要大写。故填Though/Although。 60．句意：我们都相信，帮助别人比日常生活中任何其他有趣的活动都要更快乐。根据句中的“than”可知，此处应用形容词的比较级形式，happy的比较级为happier。故填happier。 第三节 书面表达(本大题共1小题，共20分) 61．志愿工作可以使我们在传播爱心的同时获益良多。请你结合下面图示信息，以“What Volunteer Work Brings Me”为题，根据写作要求，用英语写一篇短文，向校刊的英语专栏投稿。 volunteer work make new friends develop my ability to communicate make me more confident … 注意： 1. 短文须包含上述要点，可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 2. 词数80-100 (首句已为你写好，不计入总词数) 。 What Volunteer Work Brings Me Volunteer work is very important. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 What Volunteer Work Brings Me Volunteer work is very important.

But some students laughed at him. “You are not funny but silly,” Ken, one of his classmates, said to his face. “No one will like what you do,” another boy  said to him, loudly. Brian couldn’t understand why they were so unkind to him. For a moment, he thought about giving up the show. But he remembered how much his friends liked his jokes, and also his teachers said he was funny. So he decided to prepare for the show. Brian did a great job at the talent show. Everyone loved his performance, and he won the first prize! His teacher and friends were proud of him. Even so, Ken told Brian that he was not funny, and that he would never be successful. Brian didn’t understand why Ken said so, but he realized that it had nothing to do with him. He confidently continued to work towards his goal. As the years went on, Brian met more people like Ken. “You’ll do a terrible job,” they said to him. Luckily, most people encouraged him and some helped him to become even funnier. He got a lot of chances to perform in movies. He was even invited to appear on television. His fans thanked him because his comedies made them feel good when they were unhappy.

C．Brian became a famous actor although some people laughed at him. D．Brian got many chances to perform in movies. D Money can’t buy you happiness. Well, what if it could? Not by making it or spending it, but by giving it away. In an experiment in Switzerland, researchers gave each of the 50 volunteers £20 every week for four weeks. Half of the volunteers were asked to spend the money on themselves and make a note of how they spent the money. But the researchers asked the other half to spend the money on another person. After that, all 50 volunteers did the same task in a laboratory. They were asked to think of a person who they would like to give money to. Then they had to decide how much money, from £3 to £20, they wanted to give away. While the volunteers thought about this, the researchers studied their brain activities using an MRI machine. The results showed two things. First, the 25 volunteers who gave their money away during the four weeks were more generous (慷慨的) and chose to give more money away in the laboratory task. Second, those same people were much happier than the people who once spent the money on themselves. In the experiment, the volunteers were asked to give money away. But would you like to do this in your daily life? Can you really make yourself happy by giving? The answer is yes, but remember to start small. You can start by giving £1 to a homeless person. Gradually, you can try to change your habits so that you can save money to give away. For example, stop buying lunch every day and take a packed lunch to work or school. You can then save some money and give it to people in need. Learning to donate money is all about changing the way you behave. It’s about living with less and being more generous. And this will make you happy. 32．What did the researchers ask the volunteers to decide in the laboratory? A．Who needed their money most. B．How they wanted to spend their money. C．Whether they wanted to join in the experiment. D．How much money they would like to give away. 33．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A．Being a volunteer. B．Changing your habits. C．Giving money away. D．Doing the experiment. 34．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Each volunteer got £20 from researchers every day for four weeks. B．The volunteers felt unhappy after spending money on themselves. C．The researchers used an MRI machine to study volunteers’ brain activities. D．Learning to give money away doesn’t require changing our lifestyle. 35．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Money is not the key to happiness. B．Giving money away can bring happiness. C．Small acts of kindness can make a big difference. D．Changing spending habits is important for a happy life. 第二节 阅读填空(本大题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分) 阅读短文及文后的A～E选项，选出可以填入各题空白处的最佳选项。 Sandy has always been interested in helping others.

It was started in 1988 by a British group called Comic Relief. The event usually happens in March in odd-numbered years (奇数年). So far, it has raised over £60 million to help kids around the world. In the UK, people celebrate Red Nose Day every two years. They wear red clothes and funny red noses, which you can buy at supermarkets. Part of the money from selling red noses goes to charity. People also host “Red Nose Parties” at home. They will sell tickets to their friends. Friends come dressed in red, and those who forget must pay a small fine. The ticket money and fines are all donated to help children in need. Red Nose Day has inspired (激发) other fun charity events worldwide. For example, Sweden has “Paws for a Cause”. In this event, pet owners run with their dogs to collect money for homeless animals. In the US, there’s “Ugly Christmas Sweater Day” every December. Americans wear funny, crazy Christmas sweaters. They hold parties to collect money to help kids in need. These activities show that doing something small and fun can lead to big changes. Comic Relief uses the money to provide food, education, and healthcare for children. They also share reports to show how the money is spent, so people know their donations are helping. Nowadays, Red Nose Day even goes online. People can buy virtual red noses and share funny photos on social media to keep the tradition alive. Red Nose Day teaches us that kindness can be fun.
