Haircuts and Clothing at Dallas' Community Care Center
Hey,everyone!Mark your calendars for an amazing event hosted by CleanUP at Dallas' community care center,located at 5554 Harry Hines Blvd,Dallas,TX.

Our Great Partner
The center,well-known for serving the community,offers a friendly place for this event. It works hard to fight poverty and is really important in helping people and families feel clean and respected.
Free Haircuts
At the event,we will host a free haircut activity. Professional hairdressers will cut hair for free. This helps people who don't usually have the chance to get a haircut,like single-parent families. A nice haircut can make people in poor areas feel more confident.
Clothing Donations
Besides providing free haircuts,CleanUP will give out clothes. This is part of our plan to help the homeless and poor families. We also want to help disabled veterans(老兵).The clothes will keep them warm and make them feel good about themselves.
Let's Work Together
Our values at CleanUP make us kind,generous,and helpful. With each haircut and clothing event,we want more people to join and help each other. When volunteers and supporters get involved(加入),we can better understand and help those who are having a hard time.

I stood outside the concert hall,feeling more and more excited. The cool evening air made everyone feel happy,and the soft light at the entrance seemed to invite me into a place I'd only imagined. Classical music had always been hard for me to understand. It seemed like something only elegant(高雅的)people enjoyed,and I didn't think I could get it.
When the lights went down and the first sounds of the symphony started,everyone in the hall got quiet. The gentle music from the violins felt nice,and I leaned forward without thinking. My nervousness went away,and I started to feel amazed. The music got louder and softer,and it made pictures in my head—fields covered in sunshine,and rough seas hitting the rocks. I was no longer in a concert hall;I was floating(漂浮)on a sea of feelings,with each sound taking me deeper into this magical world.
In the middle of the concert,a really loud part of the music made me want to cry. I was surprised by how I felt. How could sounds make me feel this way?Then I understood that music can touch the deepest part of us. It doesn't need words to make us feel things;it just goes straight to our hearts and wakes up feelings we usually hide. All the instruments played together,like people talking and sharing ideas,but their sounds mixed together perfectly.
When the last sound ended and everyone clapped(鼓掌)really loudly,I just sat there,shocked. I came to the concert not sure if I'd like it,but now I loved it. Music isn't just for special people who know a lot about it. It's a language that everyone can understand,as long as they open their hearts to the feelings carried through it.
As I walked out into the night,I thought about how this concert changed the way I saw things. In a world where people are often different from each other,music can bring us together. It makes us feel like others understand us. It shows me that even though we're all different on the outside,we're all connected by the language of music.
24. What was the author's attitude towards classical music at first?
A. Heartily eager. B. Strongly curious.
C. Doubtfully uncertain. D. Coldly indifferent.
25. What does the sentence "I was no longer in a concert hall" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. The music made the author forget the real world.
B. The author left the hall to get away from the music.
C. The author confused reality and music experience.
D. The hall was too dark for the author to see clearly.
26. According to the author, what is the most important part of enjoying music?
A. Understanding many musical skills.
B. Knowing the names of all instruments.
C. Having a high level of music education.
D. Relating to emotions expressed by music.
27. What's the main idea of the text?
A: Music isn't hard to understand.
B. Classical music is a silent language.
C. Music is a universal emotional language.
D. One concert can change views on music.
C
Urban zoning(城市分区)is an issue that is disliked by many people. Some people want the freedom to build different kinds of housing in areas for certain function,and others think restrictions(R制)on what can be built anywhere are not necessary.
Often held up as a hero in this game is the city of Houston,Texas,famous for not having zoning. However,as Sara C. Bronin explains in her new book Key to the City,that's not the full picture." In the unzoned city,private rules fill regulatory lack(监管的缺乏)left by zoning's absence." While Houston may lack zones on the whole,individual areas outside the center of the city create their own rules. This brings control down to a more local level. But for the city as a whole,the lack of general zoning means lighter regulation,allowing Houston to grow much more rapidly and address the housing needs of its growing population.
Zoning,in some form,goes back a long way in the history of cities. At the start of industrialization,there are some common-sense rules. For example,don't put smelly industries in the middle of the town. As the urban population increased,so did complaints about farm animals by residents living in closer areas. Local leaders began to take action. In Williamsburg,Virginia,there were rules in the 1760s to restrict farm animals in the city.
But more restrictive urban zoning appeared when cars became more common. The result of this was the minimum parking requirements for new construction in the US. Every apartment area had to set aside a large area for the future residents' cars. However,much of the parking space remained empty and many lands couldn't be developed because there was no room for both buildings and parking. But in 2020,the year after these rules were canceled because of wide opposition,3,283 homes were produced.
Bronin recognizes that only by allowing more possibilities in land use can we get back the kind of cities people want." But we still need zoning to plan the facilities necessary for our health,well-being,and survival,such as hospitals,parks,and water supply systems." She still supports zoning,but in an adapted form.
28. According to paragraph 2, Houston's city zoning _________.
A. speeds up its population growth B. is the perfect zoning model for all
C. replaces city-wide zoning with private rules
D. leaves some functions missing in the city
29. What led to the leaders' early action on zoning?
A. The start of individualization. B. The displeasure at farm animals.
C. The common sense of people. D. The shortage of land resources.
30. What was the result of minimum parking requirements in the US?
A. It improved city traffic. B. It created city crowding.
C. It increased car ownership. D. It caused wasted and unused space.
31. What do Bronin's words in the last paragraph convey?
A. Lands should be freely used. B. Public facilities are to be adjusted.
C. Zoning ensures the public well-being. D. Zoning does more harm than good.
D
By now,it's well understood that a warming planet is slowly advancing the arrival of spring. This trend(趋势)is alarming many ecologists and scientists as heat records are broken.
Now,a new study takes a look at its impact on hatching songbird chicks and what the possible results are for the future of birds. The study found that birds are producing fewer chicks when they start multiplying(繁殖)too early or too late in the spring season. This type of research is known as phenology,or the study of periodic events in the biological life cycles. As climate(气候)change results in earlier spring like weather,birds have been unable to adapt their reproductive readiness.
"As the start of spring begins earlier and earlier,the researchers expected that this trend will only worsen,making a stronger impact on many bird populations that could even lead to extinction. By the end of the 21st century,spring is likely to arrive about 25 days earlier,with birds multiplying only about 6.75 days earlier,"said the study's first author,Casey Youngflesh."Our results suggest that multiplying productivity may be reduced by 12%for the average songbird species."
Indeed,in 2019,a research published in Science showed that North America has seen a net loss of 2.9 billion birds since 1970.Taking this into account,coupled with the impact of early spring,scientists say there needs to be an immediate change to efforts to protect birds. Political measures as well as individual action are required. Morgan Tingley,the study's senior author,said as individuals we can't stop climate change,but that there is small action individuals can take to protect birds—like keeping outdoor cats inside.
But aren't birds adaptable?They survived the end of the dinosaur times,after all. Actually,the general,long-term trend is that for every four days that plants appear earlier in the spring,birds are only multiplying earlier by about one day. They are kind of adapting,but they're not doing it quickly enough,and that's a concern of scientists.
32. What can we learn about the new study from paragraph 2?
A. It focuses on the length of spring. B. It studies influence of early spring.
C. It researches the life cycle of birds. D. It helps birds produce more chicks.
33. Which statement will Casey Youngflesh probably agree with?
A. Earlier springs have advantages as well.
B. People overlook the birds' role in nature.
C. Climate change has an impact on all species.
D. More bird species may die out in the future.
34.What does the 2019 research show?
A. The necessity of acting to protect birds.
B. The difficulty in slowing global warming.
C. The author's views on political measures.
D. The reasons for the fall in bird populations.
35.What can be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Birds are adapting to warmer weather
B. Climate change continues to worsen
C. Scientists find new ways to protect birds
D. Earlier spring has affected birds greatly

A reading log(日志)is pretty much exactly what it sounds like-a place for you to log your reading. In a reading log,you record the books you've read and your thoughts,reactions,and responses to them. 36 Here are a few of them that you should consider.

There is no doubt that reading logs can improve your reading comprehension(理解力). 38 As a result,you can improve your comprehension of the text as well as your processing of it and its meaning.
When you are keeping a reading log,you keep track of your progress toward your reading goals. Looking through what you have put down,you'll have clear evidence of the achievement you're making toward the goals you set. The log also makes sure you record all of your reading "wins” so as to celebrate your progress. 39
During the course of sticking to your reading log,your writing skills will certainly be improved. If you're regularly reading books and writing reports about what you read,you'll be doing lots of little writing projects and getting a chance to practice and develop your writing skills.40 You'll notice a difference in your writing and maybe even in your critical thinking!
A. Your advance is easy to see after a while.
B. Reading logs vary from person to person.
C. Reading logs can help you remember more.
D. Keeping a reading log offers many benefits.
E. But what are the basic steps of keeping a reading log?
F. And then you will feel encouraged to continue reading.
G. When keeping logs,you slow up to deal with what you're reading.

My story began in one autumn morning,as I was on the way to school. It was the first time I had caught sight of a fox. Fascinated to the point where I forgot all fear,I dared to go up to it. I had never come so close to a wild animal. There was nobody else around,only me and the fox.
"Hey,fox!"I tried to greet it,though my voice was so weak that it felt like I was saying hello to myself. It didn't hear me. It stayed there and I watched it. My heart was beating fast. It was so cute. For a moment,I thought I might be able to touch it.
Throughout the day at school,I could only think of the fox at the big tree. On my return to the place where we met,I was sure I'd find it there.
And I did!This time I gathered a little bit more courage and called out to it,"Fox!"Of course it escaped. But that only made me long to meet it again. I decided that if I could find its cave and catch it,I would try to tame(驯服)it,making it my friend.
Thus,I spent most of my free time in the forests trying to find the fox during the following months. But I never saw it again before winter came. During the winter,I followed its footprints far across the fields. Suddenly I was alarmed by the calling of wolves near me. I ran away in fear,fell down and hurt my ankle(脚踝).І recovered very slowly,so that I had to stay at home during the winter,reading a book about foxes.
When spring arrived,I was free again. I looked for fox caves and waited for my fox. To my amazement,it was pregnant(怀孕),but it kept moving because of my observation;therefore I decided to watch the fox from a longer distance.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式作答。
One day,as I sat quietly by a tree,the fox carefully came near.
But to my surprise,the day after I brought it home,it escaped.

【解题导语】本文介绍了一场公益活动,它通过免费理发和衣物捐赠为弱势群体提供帮助。
21.B 细节理解题。根据 Free Haircuts 部分的"Professional hairdressers will cut hair for free"可知,专业的理发师将免费理发。
22.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“CleanUP isn't just about...making a better future for all of us"可知,CleanUP 不仅仅清洁社区,也解决问题、带回希望、为大家创造更好未来。A项“创造充满希望的明天”与此目标一致。
23.B 细节理解题。根据 Our Great Partner 部分的"helping people and families feel clean and respected”、Free Haircuts 部分的“make people in poor areas feel more confident”以及Clothing Donations部分的"keep them warm and make them feel good about themselves"可知,该公益活动通过帮助弱势群体,让他们感到被尊重、更自信。因此 B 项“它将实际帮助与尊重相结合”准确捕捉了活动的特征。

语篇类型:夹叙夹议文 主题语境:人与自我
【解题导语】作者最初对古典音乐感到困惑,但音乐会的体验让他意识到音乐能触动我们内心最深处,连接人与人。
24.C 推理判断题。第一段的“It seemed like something only elegant(高雅的)people enjoyed,and I didn't think I could get it"提到,作者最初认为古典音乐似乎只有高雅的人欣赏,自己无法理解,第四段的“I came to the concert not sure if I'd like it”也补充作者来听音乐会时不确定自己是否会喜欢它,体现了作者最初对古典音乐的怀疑和不确定。
25.A 句意理解题。第二段描述了作者聆听交响乐时的感受。根据画线句子前的“it made pictures in my head”可知,此处是在讲音乐的起伏在作者脑海中形成画面:阳光照耀的田野、拍打岩石的汹涌海浪。这说明音乐的感染力极强,让作者完全沉浸其中,忘记了身处音乐厅的现实。
26.D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的"Musie isn't just for special people...open their hearts to the feelings carried through it”可知,作者意识到音乐并非懂行的人才能欣赏,只要愿意敞开心扉去感受音乐传递的情感,任何人都能够享受音乐。故可推知,作者认为欣赏音乐最重要的是与音乐所表达的情感产生联结。
27.C 主旨大意题。作者最初对古典音乐感到困惑,但音乐会的体验让他意识到音乐能触动我们内心最深处,无需语言即可直达内心。第四段的"Music isn't just for special people...through it”和最后一段的"It shows me...connected by the language of music"告诉人们音乐是一种能通过情感连接所有人的通用语言。故 C项“音乐是一种通用的情感语言”能概括本文的主旨。
C

【解题导语】文章介绍了城市分区的影响、起源及其引起的争议等。
28.C 细节理解题。第二段提到休斯敦因没有分区制度而闻名,但Bronin在书中指出在没有分区制度的城市,私人规则填补了分区缺失留下的监管空白,且根据“individual areas outside the center of the city create their own rules"可知,休斯敦市中心以外的各个区域制定了自己的规则。这说明休斯敦的私人规则取代了全市性的分区制度。
29.B细节理解题。根据第三段中的“As the urban population increased...residents living in closer areas.Local leaders began to take action"可知,随着城市人口增长,居住在较近区域的居民对农场动物的抱怨增多,之后地方领导人开始采取行动,如弗吉尼亚州的威廉斯堡在 18 世纪 60 年代对城市内的农场动物进行了限制。
30.D细节理解题。根据第四段中的"much of the parking space remained empty and many lands couldn't be developed...parking"可知,美国出台的新建项目的最低停车位配建标准要求每个公寓区都必须为未来住户预留大面积停车空间。由此产生了双重浪费:大量停车位长期闲置,而许多土地因无法满足停车空间要求而得不到开发。
31.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段Bronin所说的"But we still need zoning to plan the facilities necessary for our health,well-being,and survival...systems”可知,她认为我们仍然需要分区制度来规划对健康、福祉和生存必要的设施,这说明她认为分区制度能保障公共福利。

【解题导语】随着气候变暖,春天的到来也越来越早,这就影响到鸟类的繁殖能力,导致鸟类数量的减少。尽管鸟类在适应变化的气候,但是适应速度远远赶不上环境变化的速度。
32.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“a new study takes a look at its impact on...in the spring season"可知,这项新研究着眼于早春对鸣禽繁殖幼鸟的影响以及对鸟类未来可能产生的影响。
33.D 推理判断题。
A
根据第三段中的“worsen...lead to extinction...multiplying productivity may be reduced by 12%for the average songbird species"可知,Casey Youngflesh在此处只强调了春天来得越来越早的缺点,没有提到优点。
×
B
根据第三段中Casey Youngflesh 的话可知,Casey Youngflesh并没有强调鸟类在自然界中的角色。
×
C
根据第三段中的"making a stronger impact on many bird populations”和“multiplying C productivity may be reduced by 12%for the average songbird species"可知,Casey Youngflesh 的话只提到了春天来得越来越早对鸟类的影响,没有提到对其他物种的影响。
×
D
根据第三段内容可知,春天到来得越来越早,鸟类的繁殖能力下降,这种趋势只会恶化,对许多鸟类种群产生更大的影响,甚至可能导致鸟类灭绝,Casey Youngflesh 团队的研究结果表明,一般的鸣禽物种的繁殖能力可能降低 12%。故他可能同意“将来可能会有更多的鸟类灭绝”的观点。
√
34.A 推理判断题。根据第四段的“in 2019,a research published...efforts to protect birds"可知,自1970年以来北美已经净损失了29亿只鸟,再加上早春的影响,科学家们认为人们需要立即做出改变,为保护鸟类做更多的努力。因此2019年的研究表明了采取行动保护鸟类的必要性。
35.D 标题判断题。本文主要说明随着气候变暖,春天的到来也越来越早,这就影响到鸟类的繁殖能力,导致鸟类数量的减少,尽管鸟类在适应变化的气候,但是适应速度赶不上环境变化的速度。故D项最适合作本文标题。

【解题导语】本文介绍了写阅读日志的几个益处。
36.D 根据下文的“Here are a few of them that you should consider"及第二至五段内容可知,此处应介绍写阅读日志有很多益处,故D项符合语境。空后的them指代D项中的many benefits。
37.C 根据第二段内容可知,本段主要介绍写阅读日志有助于人们记住更多内容,故 C 项符合语境。C 项中的 remember more对应本段的"keep more about what you've read in mind"和remember details
38.G 根据下文的“As a result,you can improve your comprehension of the text as well as your processing of it and its meaning”可知,因此你可以增进对文章的理解和对文章及其意义的处理,故G项“写日志的时候,你放慢速度来处理你正在阅读的内容”符合语境,与下文形成因果关系。
39.F 根据上文的“you'll have clear evidence of the achievement you're making toward the goals you set.The log also makes sure you record all of your reading'wins'so as to celebrate your progress"可知,阅读日志确保你记录下所有的阅读“胜利”,你会看到自己取得的成就,可以庆祝自己的进步。故F项“然后你就会受到鼓舞而继续阅读”承接上文,符合语境。
40.A 根据上文的"getting a chance to practice and develop your writing skills"和下文"You'll notice a difference in your writing and maybe even in your critical thinking!"可知,坚持写阅读日志,你会有机会练习和提高你的写作技巧,你会发现你的写作甚至批判性思维都有所不同。故A项“一段时间后你的进步很容易被看到”承上启下,符合语境。

52.D 根据上文叙述可知,母亲省下每一分钱都是为了孩子们的教育,与上文“Education is the key”呼应。
53.B根据空前的“as the first female college graduate from my hometown”可知,作为家乡第一个大学毕业的女生,作者终于理解了母亲对他们严格的原因,呼应前文 grew older 和gradually understood。unexpectedly“出乎意料地”;finally“终于”;hardly“几乎不”;suddenly“突然地”。
54.A 根据空前的“why she was so hard on us”与开篇的"mother was tough with us”可知,此处总结母亲的教育方式背后的爱,母亲的严格是她最深的爱。strictness“严格”;politeness“有礼貌”;kindness“善良”;calmness“冷静”。

第二节
语篇类型:说明文 主题语境:人与社会
【解题导语】本文介绍了一些与集邮相关的内容。
56.of 考查介词。集邮被认为是所有年龄段人群中最受欢迎的爱好之一。of all ages表示“不同年龄的人,老少皆宜”,是固定短语。
57.was issued 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。集邮始于1840年第一枚邮票发行之时。根据时间状语 in 1840可知,此处应用一般过去时;主语“the first postage stamp”与 issue是动宾关系,故用被动语态;主语为第三人称单数,故谓语用单数。
58.but 考查连词。在某种程度上,集邮者可能会收集邮票,但并非必须如此。空处连接两个情态动词,在意义上表示转折,故用 but。
59.to be used 考查非谓语动词。句中已有谓语动词,空处应用非谓语形式。此处是“it is +形容词 + for sb.to do sth.”句型,it作形式主语,真正的主语是动词不定式短语,故空处用动词不定式。the term philatelist与use是逻辑上的动宾关系,故空处用不定式的被动式。
60.relaxation 考查名词。许多业余邮票收集者收集集邮品是为了乐趣和放松。空处与enjoyment并列作for的宾语,表示“放松”,故用名词relaxation。
61.generally 考查副词。空处在句中作状语,表示“通常”,故用 generally。
62.designed 考查非谓语动词。句中已有谓语动词creates,空处应用非谓语形式。空处作后置定语修饰“a special run of stamps",且与其是逻辑上的动宾关系,故用designed。
63.postal 考查形容词。这些国家生产的邮票可能远远超出了它们的邮政需求。空处作定语修饰名词 needs,表示“邮政的”,故用 postal。
64.selling 考查非谓语动词。销售这些邮票所带来的收入可能相当可观。句中已有谓语,空处应用非谓语形式。空处作介词from的宾语,故用动词-ing形式。
65.that 考查状语从句。根据so和句意可知,此处表示“如此……以至于……”,故用 that。
第四部分 写作
第一节
Dear Ivy,How are you?Next week the High School Music Festival will be held by the Music Club in our school.I'd be delighted if you could join me(条件状语从句).
It is going to take place in the school hall on Thursday and Friday from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm,where students can appreciate many performances like singing,dancing and instrument playing(定语从句).Now that you love music very much and have a talent for playing the piano(原因状语从句),would you like to give a performance in the festival?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
【情节线】作者在上学的路上见到了一只狐狸→作者非常喜欢这只狐狸,想驯服它→在一次寻找它的过程中,作者伤到了脚踝,不得不一直待在家里→来年春天,作者发现它怀孕了,他开始从远处观察狐狸
【情感线】Fascinated to the point where I forgot all fear→My heart was beating fast→I gathered a little bit more courage→I ran away in fear→To my amazement→to my surprise
【续写思路】根据续写第一段首句可知,这只狐狸向作者靠近。再结合原文提到的作者非常喜欢这只狐狸和续写第二段首句可知,续写第一段可描写作者此时的心理状态,他与狐狸的互动,以及作者最终将其带回家。
根据续写第二段首句可知,在作者将这只狐狸带回家后的第二天,它逃走了。再结合原文提到的作者在脚踝恢复期看了一本关于狐狸的书,本段可以描写作者看到这只狐狸逃回大自然时的情景,以及从中领悟到人与动物应如何相处。
【高分词汇】possession n.占有 hold one's breath屏气attent to 照顾,照料 keep sb.company陪伴某人 in no time立即,马上 a joy to behold赏心悦目 be supposed to do sth.应该做某事
One day,as I sat quietly by a tree,the fox carefully came near.I held my breath,not wanting to frighten the little creature(动词-ing形式短语作状语).As it came closer(时间状语从语句),I was excited to see the trust in its eyes.Gradually,I wasable to bring it food and even pet its fur and occasionally,wedwould sit together on the green grass,like two old friends(明喻). Confident in our increasingly enhanced bond(形容词短语作状语),I finally took it home,thinking that I could better attend to it and that we would always keep each other company(动词-ing 形式短语作状语).
But to my surprise,the day after I brought it home,itescaped.It jumped out of an open window and in no time disappeared into the woods.As I watched it slip away through the underbrush,with nimbleness and grace that was a joy to behold(定语从句),I suddenly realized that perhaps the wild called to it more strongly than I ever could(宾语从句).Looking back on the book about foxes now,I know my so-called"love”is not love,but possession("not...but..."结构).Wild creatures are supposed to be wandering in their own home—nature.

W: No, thanks, I just ate my lunch. Do you bring your lunch to work every day? I remember you used to eat out.
M: Yes. I realized I was spending too much money eating out and not eating very healthily. Preparing meals at home seemed like the best solution.

W: That's great.

W: That sounds perfect.
Text 9
M: My history professor says I should think about a job in politics. But I don't think I'd make a good politician.
W: Why not?
M: You know me. I'm not good at dealing with people. And politicians have to work with people all the time.
W: That's true. So what do you think you want to do?
M: I think I will be a good artist. I love painting pictures.
W: That reminds me of a problem I'm having. You know my parents have a restaurant, right? They want me to be the manager.
M: And you want to?
W: No way. A restaurant manager has to manage other people. It'd be terrible. I'm too disorganized. Honestly, I want to be a teacher because I like working with kids, and I'm good at it.
M: That's true.

M: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to your first painting class. My name is Kevin, and I will be your teacher for the next 12 weeks. You are from all walks of life, and for most of you, this is your first time painting, or even your first time doing anything artistic. Don't worry. This course is designed to teach you the basics of drawing. In the first two weeks, you will get familiar with some very important drawing techniques, as well as understand how to use the equipment. In week three, I will start giving you weekly homework, so you can improve your techniques outside of these classes. It's entirely your choice to complete the homework or not. It is not a course requirement, but obviously, it will really help you progress. After week eight, you have to hand in a final piece of work. This artwork will require a lot of experimentation. After the twelfth week, we will hold a show at a local gallery, which both you and your family are welcome to attend.
