Passage 2
Volunteers are probably some of the most overlooked (忽视的) people. But few activities would go smoothly (顺利地) without hardworking volunteers. This month, I volunteered at the Color Run in Melbourne. Maybe I didn’t have as much fun as the runners, but I learned a 11 .
My job was to give a high-five to every runner at the finish line. In the beginning, we saw it as a 12 job. When the first runner 13 , we reached out our hands and yelled “Good job” excitedly. However, as more and more people crossed the finish line and touched my hands with 14 , my arm got sore. To make things worse, the weather became hotter. Our clothes were all wet and we felt really tired. But soon we saw a group of kids running toward us - they were about 6 years old. 15 they could hardly catch their breath, they still kept going with big smiles on their faces. They 16 their hands and said, “High-five!”
At that moment, I was quite 17 . They were so young, and they never tried to give up. 18 , I felt myself become full of strength, I clapped their hands, “Well done, little guys!”
That is the 19 of being a volunteer. It is never an easy job. We meet different people and see their spirit. Even if such spirit is not often found in daily life, it can move us a lot when we do see it. It also makes us 20 that our job is far more meaningful than it seems—every effort, no matter how small, lights up someone’s journey.

Passage 3
The truth is friends change. No matter how much you love and appreciate (重视) your friends, the friendship between you can still fade (褪色) and disappear from your life. I remember having some friends in primary school. Now, I never see these people, and 21 even think about them anymore. It’s sad, I know, but friends become different people over time—they sure change.
The changes that take place among friends can be 22 or big, and this decides the changes that end or begin friendships. There are some common 23 why some friendships end. Friends lose touch (联系) sometimes just because of lifestyle changes. As lifestyles change, friends often change 24 these. It’s unlucky, but it’s neither good nor bad. Friendships sometimes end simply because one of you moves far away. When locations change, friendships change 25 . It’s just part of life. When you finish junior high school and start senior high school, you will meet and become friends with many new people.
There are no clear ways to stop the ending of a friendship. 26 , you can keep some friendships by simply trying to stay in touch. This 27 well when you change your location. When it comes to lifestyle changes, in order to keep friendship, you must remember these changes won’t matter 28 the friendship is strong. Changing friendships doesn’t have to mean ending friendships.
If the friendship 29 end, and there is no other choice, then remember this: Change is good. When one friend leaves, 30 will take his/her place, maybe bringing new things and brighter ideas. After all, as human beings, we are changing and achieving new things all the time.

Passage 4
Tom used to be happy, but recently he became quiet and always locked himself in his room. He stopped 31 his favorite soccer games and even refused to eat much. His parents worried a lot.
One rainy afternoon, Tom’s friend Lily visited him. She found Tom lying on his bed sadly, so she had a talk with him. Tom said he felt 32 all the time because schoolwork was too heavy.

Now, Tom studies happily and often makes himself relaxed. He talks openly when feeling down. He often said: “Life is like a tree. To let it grow 37 , we must care for both its roots(树根)and leaves.” His words touched everyone.

Passage 6
Dear Not an Artist,
Glad to get your letter. I know clearly how you feel when seeing a better drawing from your friend. I’m surely not the best artist in the world, but I always love making pictures. That’s why I got so 51 about Mr. Pacino’s candy-label (标签) idea when I was young.
Mr. Pacino is my father’s friend who 52 a candy shop as well. One day he happened to stop by when my friend Alice and I were drawing with chalk (粉笔) in front of my house.
“Wow! Excellent pictures!” he said, trying not to step on them 53 he walked towards the door. “I really love your drawings! Would you offer to help make some pictures so that I can use them 54 the label?” He smiled to us, “just have fun—no need to 55 making everything perfect.” Then he left. With his words, we imagined ourselves being talented artists at the moment.
And we began to draw right away. We both enjoyed the way we were drawing. 56 , we stopped and looked at each other’s work. One minute I liked my drawing best. And the next minute I felt like the 57 artist ever after comparing our works. How strange it was!
After an hour, Mr. Pacino returned and said, “I truly love your drawings. Both of them are so special that I can’t wait to use them for my label.” A look of joy appeared on his face, “Hey, girls, what about working together in a fun and eye-catching way? I believe that’ll be the perfect label I want.” I could see what Pacino 58 . It seemed like a waste of time and energy (精力) to try to compete with my friend. Each piece was different but amazing in 59 own way—even mine.
So, dear Not an Artist, I know it can be upset when you start comparing yourself with others. But try not to do so. There’s no right or wrong way to make art. Since everybody has different tastes and styles, nobody has to agree on what makes a piece of good 60 . Sometimes your work will turn out great, but other times it won’t be your best, and that’s OK. The coolest thing about making art is that it’s fun!

Passage 7
Once upon a time, a king received two baby eagles (鹰) as a gift. The eagles were very special, and the king loved them very much. He invited a skilled worker to look after them.
As time passed, the king noticed that 61 eagles grew big and looked even more amazing than before. The king wished to see them fly. However, as the worker set them free, one eagle flew high into the sky while 62 flew a few meters before returning to its starting branch (树枝).

Passage 9
People love to compete—whether it’s rushing to get on a bus or comparing social media “likes”. We often think of competitions as “win or lose”. A famous race car driver Dale Earnhardt once said, “Second place is just the 81 loser.”
82 the competitive spirit is as natural as breathing air, it does not always lead humans to a better future. Luckily, there is a way to 83 this problem: Instead of always going for gold, we can shoot for the bronze (铜牌) sometimes.
If second place is the first loser, just like Dale Earnhardt said, third place can be the real 84 —at least when it comes to happiness and longevity (长寿). A study shows that in the Olympics, most bronze winners seemed 85 than silver (银牌) winners. During award ceremonies (颁奖礼), bronze winners smiled more than silver winners. Another study shows that the sports players who won silver lived to be 72 years old. Gold winners lived to 76. They 86 the silver winners by 4 years. But the first prize in longevity went to bronze winners who lived to 78. Why? Researchers explain that silver winners see themselves 87 the first loser because they look up to the top and compare themselves only with the gold winners, while the bronze winners compared themselves with all the others who 88 made it onto the podium (领奖台) at all.
It’s silly for many people to believe that 89 comes from fighting for gold all the time, because most competitions against others only cause stress and lower happiness. The only thing you have to do is to compare 90 with yourself. Try to make yourself clear. And then you will have a feeling of “winning”.

One sunny day, Mike was with Grandpa in the garden. He looked up at the tree and asked, “Grandpa, have you ever tried to 91 the apples on the tree?”
“Sure, Mike!” Grandpa replied. “ 92 I was your age, I loved climbing trees for the fruit.”
“That sounds fun, Grandpa,” Mike said. “But sadly, I’m not allowed to climb trees anymore. My parents said it was too dangerous to do that.”
“Ha! That’s funny! Now I am in the same 93 as you,” Grandpa said. “I’m not allowed to do that either.”
Mike laughed. 94 , a new idea hit him. He said, “Why don’t we think of a way to reach those apples?”
“Good idea, Mike!” Grandpa said. “So, what’s your plan?”

Grandpa nodded and encouraged Mike to 96 . “And how will you get the apples once you reach them?”
Mike smiled, “I’ll tie (系) a basket to the end of the stick using some string (细绳). That way, we can collect the apples easily.”
Grandpa listened carefully and said, “That sounds like a 97 invention (发明), Mike!”
Excitedly, Mike looked around the garden for the perfect stick when Grandpa discovered a big basket. After they finished, Mike held up his creation 98 joy. “Look, Grandpa! We made it! Let’s try it out.”
They walked over to the apple tree, and Mike pointed the basket at an apple and pulled. The apple 99 the basket.

Passage 11
Do you have a dog? Do you need to go out to work or study every day? If you’ve ever felt sorry for 101 your dog home alone, here’s some good news—doing one simple thing before you go may help it a lot!
We already know that touch can lower stress in pets. But a recent study took it a step 102 —scientists tested whether gentle petting (温柔的抚摸) before a short separation (分离) could make dogs feel much better 103 their owners are not around.
In the study, ten dogs took part in two situations: once they were petted for a minute before their owner left, and once they were not. Researchers 104 their behaviors, stress levels, and even their salivary cortisol, a stress hormone (荷尔蒙), to see how they dealt with the separation. The result showed that dogs who received petting performed more calmly (平静地) while waiting for their owners. Their heart rates (心率) dropped much more after the test, showing they were more 105 .
The good points of petting don’t stop with dogs—it helps 106 , too! Studies have shown that petting pets can lower 107 , and improve the levels of oxytocin, the “feel-good” hormone. It can also help the owners feel less nervous and closer 108 their dogs before stepping out of the door.
So next time you pick up your 109 to the door, don’t forget to pet your dog for even a short time—it’s a 110 act of you but can mean the world to them!

Passage 3
The truth is friends change. No matter how much you love and appreciate (重视) your friends, the friendship between you can still fade (褪色) and disappear from your life. I remember having some friends in primary school. Now, I never see these people, and 21 even think about them anymore. It’s sad, I know, but friends become different people over time—they sure change.
The changes that take place among friends can be 22 or big, and this decides the changes that end or begin friendships. There are some common 23 why some friendships end. Friends lose touch (联系) sometimes just because of lifestyle changes. As lifestyles change, friends often change 24 these. It’s unlucky, but it’s neither good nor bad. Friendships sometimes end simply because one of you moves far away. When locations change, friendships change 25 . It’s just part of life. When you finish junior high school and start senior high school, you will meet and become friends with many new people.
There are no clear ways to stop the ending of a friendship. 26 , you can keep some friendships by simply trying to stay in touch. This 27 well when you change your location. When it comes to lifestyle changes, in order to keep friendship, you must remember these changes won’t matter 28 the friendship is strong. Changing friendships doesn’t have to mean ending friendships.
If the friendship 29 end, and there is no other choice, then remember this: Change is good. When one friend leaves, 30 will take his/her place, maybe bringing new things and brighter ideas. After all, as human beings, we are changing and achieving new things all the time.

Dear Not an Artist,
Glad to get your letter. I know clearly how you feel when seeing a better drawing from your friend. I’m surely not the best artist in the world, but I always love making pictures. That’s why I got so 51 about Mr. Pacino’s candy-label (标签) idea when I was young.
Mr. Pacino is my father’s friend who 52 a candy shop as well. One day he happened to stop by when my friend Alice and I were drawing with chalk (粉笔) in front of my house.
“Wow! Excellent pictures!” he said, trying not to step on them 53 he walked towards the door. “I really love your drawings! Would you offer to help make some pictures so that I can use them 54 the label?” He smiled to us, “just have fun—no need to 55 making everything perfect.” Then he left. With his words, we imagined ourselves being talented artists at the moment.
And we began to draw right away. We both enjoyed the way we were drawing. 56 , we stopped and looked at each other’s work. One minute I liked my drawing best. And the next minute I felt like the 57 artist ever after comparing our works. How strange it was!
After an hour, Mr. Pacino returned and said, “I truly love your drawings. Both of them are so special that I can’t wait to use them for my label.” A look of joy appeared on his face, “Hey, girls, what about working together in a fun and eye-catching way? I believe that’ll be the perfect label I want.” I could see what Pacino 58 . It seemed like a waste of time and energy (精力) to try to compete with my friend. Each piece was different but amazing in 59 own way—even mine.
So, dear Not an Artist, I know it can be upset when you start comparing yourself with others. But try not to do so. There’s no right or wrong way to make art. Since everybody has different tastes and styles, nobody has to agree on what makes a piece of good 60 . Sometimes your work will turn out great, but other times it won’t be your best, and that’s OK. The coolest thing about making art is that it’s fun!

主题02人与自我——个人成长
Passage 9
People love to compete—whether it’s rushing to get on a bus or comparing social media “likes”. We often think of competitions as “win or lose”. A famous race car driver Dale Earnhardt once said, “Second place is just the 81 loser.”
82 the competitive spirit is as natural as breathing air, it does not always lead humans to a better future. Luckily, there is a way to 83 this problem: Instead of always going for gold, we can shoot for the bronze (铜牌) sometimes.
If second place is the first loser, just like Dale Earnhardt said, third place can be the real 84 —at least when it comes to happiness and longevity (长寿). A study shows that in the Olympics, most bronze winners seemed 85 than silver (银牌) winners. During award ceremonies (颁奖礼), bronze winners smiled more than silver winners. Another study shows that the sports players who won silver lived to be 72 years old. Gold winners lived to 76. They 86 the silver winners by 4 years. But the first prize in longevity went to bronze winners who lived to 78. Why? Researchers explain that silver winners see themselves 87 the first loser because they look up to the top and compare themselves only with the gold winners, while the bronze winners compared themselves with all the others who 88 made it onto the podium (领奖台) at all.
It’s silly for many people to believe that 89 comes from fighting for gold all the time, because most competitions against others only cause stress and lower happiness. The only thing you have to do is to compare 90 with yourself. Try to make yourself clear. And then you will have a feeling of “winning”.
81. A. first B. second C. third D. last
82. A. Because B. Although C. But D. So
83. A. take out B. put up C. work out D. make up
84. A. cheat B. winner C. performer D. visitor

【知识点】哲理感悟
【导语】本文介绍了一个研究,研究显示铜牌得主比银牌得主更快乐长寿,因为他们的心态不同。
81. 句意:著名赛车手戴尔·恩哈特曾经说过:“第二名就是第一个失败者。”
first第一;second第二;third第三;last最后。根据“Second place is just the…loser.”并结合常识,此处是说第二名位居第一的失败者。故选A。
82. 句意:虽然竞争精神就像呼吸空气一样自然,但它并不总是把人类引向更美好的未来。
Because因为;Although虽然;But但是;So所以。根据“the competitive spirit is as natural as breathing air, it does not always lead humans to a better future.”可知,前后句为让步关系,Although引导让步状语从句。故选B。
83. 句意:幸运的是,有一种方法可以解决这个问题:我们有时可以争取铜牌,而不是总是争取金牌。
take out取出;put up张贴;work out解决;make up编造。根据“this problem”可知,“解决”问题用work out,故选C。
84. 句意:正如戴尔·恩哈特所说,如果第二名是第一个失败者,那么第三名可能是真正的赢家——至少在幸福和长寿方面是如此。
cheat骗子;winner获胜者;performer表演者;visitor游客。根据“third place can be the real…—at least when it comes to happiness and longevity (长寿). ”可知,后文提到铜牌得主更快乐长寿,说明第三名才是“真正的赢家”,故选B。
85. 句意:一项研究表明,在奥运会上,大多数铜牌获得者似乎比银牌获得者更快乐。
angrier更生气的;sadder更悲伤的;friendlier更友好的;happier更快乐的。根据“During award ceremonies (颁奖礼), bronze winners smiled more than silver winners.”可知,铜牌得主比银牌得主更“开心”,happier符合语境。故选D。
86. 句意:他们(金牌得主)寿命比银牌长4年。
beat打败;won赢得;lost失去;hid隐藏。金牌得主寿命比银牌长4年,beat表示“胜过”,won后需接比赛而非人。故选A。
87. 句意:研究人员解释说,银牌获得者认为自己是第一个失败者,因为他们仰望顶端,只把自己和金牌获得者比较,而铜牌获得者则把自己和所有从未登上领奖台的人比较。
with和……用;in在……里;as作为;after在……之后。固定搭配see oneself as“视自己为……”,as表示“作为”。故选C。
88. 句意:研究人员解释说,银牌获得者认为自己是第一个失败者,因为他们仰望顶端,只把自己和金牌获得者比较,而铜牌获得者则把自己和所有从未登上领奖台的人比较。
always总是;usually通常;sometimes有时;never从不。根据“while the bronze winners compared themselves with all the others who…made it onto the podium (领奖台) at all.”可知,此处是说铜牌得主与“从未”登上领奖台的人比较,never符合逻辑。故选D。
89. 句意:许多人认为幸福来自于一直为金牌而战,这是愚蠢的,因为大多数与他人的竞争只会带来压力和降低幸福感。
happiness幸福;pressure压力;trouble麻烦;competition竞争。根据“because most competitions against others only cause stress and lower happiness.”可知,后文提到了因为大多数与他人的竞争只会带来压力和降低幸福感,因此设空处是说许多人认为幸福来自于一直为金牌而战。故选A。
90. 句意:你唯一要做的就是拿自己和自己比较。
me我(宾格);you你;them他们;us我们。后文yourself提示主语为“你”,you与yourself呼应。故选B。

Passage 11
Do you have a dog? Do you need to go out to work or study every day? If you’ve ever felt sorry for 101 your dog home alone, here’s some good news—doing one simple thing before you go may help it a lot!
We already know that touch can lower stress in pets. But a recent study took it a step 102 —scientists tested whether gentle petting (温柔的抚摸) before a short separation (分离) could make dogs feel much better 103 their owners are not around.
In the study, ten dogs took part in two situations: once they were petted for a minute before their owner left, and once they were not. Researchers 104 their behaviors, stress levels, and even their salivary cortisol, a stress hormone (荷尔蒙), to see how they dealt with the separation. The result showed that dogs who received petting performed more calmly (平静地) while waiting for their owners. Their heart rates (心率) dropped much more after the test, showing they were more 105 .
The good points of petting don’t stop with dogs—it helps 106 , too! Studies have shown that petting pets can lower 107 , and improve the levels of oxytocin, the “feel-good” hormone. It can also help the owners feel less nervous and closer 108 their dogs before stepping out of the door.
So next time you pick up your 109 to the door, don’t forget to pet your dog for even a short time—it’s a 110 act of you but can mean the world to them!
