Before I turned 10, I lost my parents. My siblings left Hyderabad after relatives adopted them, but I insisted on staying back to continue my education. I lived alone in a room that a family member allowed me to use rent-free. To support myself, I began to deliver newspapers.
I would be up every morning by 5 a.m. and walk five kilometers to the newspaper office. By 6 a.m., I would collect 50 copies of Manzil (Urdu Daily)—the bundle must have weighed over 5 kilograms. My beat spanned 3 kilometers. After distributing the copies, I would rush home—another 3 kilometers —quickly cat and be off to high school.
One wintry morning in 1945,I got home after my deliveries to find a boy of my age at my doorstep. He introduced himself as Afzal and said his father wanted to see me.
I was greeted at the door by Afzal's mother, Naseem. She served tea and snacks as Afzal's father, Mr Kader, joined us. She gently asked me about my daily routine. I told her about my morning job.
Later, as I was about to leave after thanking them, Mr Kader asked me to wait. Later, Mr Kader emerged again, wheeling a new bicycle. "This is for you!" he said.
It took a few seconds for the love to sink in. It felt warm, like home. I didn't realize tears were rolling down my face.
Mr Kader said. Your newspaper editor is a friend of mine. He gave me your address. so I knew you lived close by. Then Afzal told us more about you."
I bowed, gratefully, shook hands with Afzal and left. This time I did not have to walk—I had the bicycle.
The bicycle saved my life for many years thereafter and taught me a lifelong lesson: Help should always be need-based. Never try to feed a person who is dying of thirst.
41. Why did Afzal's father want to meet the author?
A. He wanted to help the author.
B. The author's parents used to be his friends.
C. He wanted to know more about the author.
D. The author reminded him of his own childhood.
42. How did the author feel after Afzal's father offered him the bicycle?
A. Satisfied. B. Interested. C. Touched. D. Confused.
43. To the author, the bicycle was .
A. a gift from his parents B. a childhood toy
C. something that made him proud D. something that he needed most
44. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. The author lived alone in his own house after he lost his parents.
B. The author worked hard to support himself by delivering newspapers.
C. The author didn't cry although he felt touched by Mr Kader.
D. The author didn't want to accept the help from Mr Kader.
45. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A. Sometimes helping others can hurt your relationships.
B. Try your best to help others even if you cannot.
C. Know what the person needs when giving help.
D. It's difficult to find out what a person really wants.

Buddy or Friendship Benches (长椅)are needed because playgrounds can be lonely places sometimes. When a school places the bench, they teach a little lesson to the kids on how it is to be used. Then when a child sits on the bench, it sends out a message to others that basically says, “ Hey, I’m alone right now and would welcome the company (陪伴) of others.” Kids in the playground see this and from their training, they see there is a fellow student in need. They are encouraged to come over and sit on the bench and make a new friend.
Benches like this have been around for a while now in many schools. But in Ireland, they are trying to do something different with them. This school in Cork in the south of Ireland is the 247th to get benches from a social organization called “Buddy Bench Ireland” that doesn’t just provide schools with benches, but also runs special projects with trained child psychiatrists (精神病专家).They use the bench as an opportunity to start conversations about mental health. They talk about the importance of knowing and understanding your feelings and those of others.
Judith Ashton, a co-founder of Buddy Bench Ireland said, “The children need to understand what the bench is about, what it represents ----friendship, understanding, listening to each other and the most important thing is that it’s important to express feelings.”
But do children really use the bench? It’s a matter of great public concern. Sinead Mcgilloway from Maynooth University carried out a study and said, “ We found that 40% of the children told us that they had actually used the benches at the time of the study. And over 90% said that they would talk to a child if that child was sitting on the bench. So, there’s nothing to worry about.
Children’s mental health and safety at school is increasingly a concern in many countries. In Ireland, they’re hoping these benches will not only tackle problems like school violence and school bullying (校园暴力和校园欺凌), but also give students the confidence to open up about their feelings.
46. According to the passage, buddy benches might _________.
A. make students feel relaxed
B. help students feeling lonely to find friends
C. be a symbol of psychology classes
D. appear in schools filled with problem children
47. The organization “Buddy Bench Ireland” _________.
A. makes buddy benches more popular
B. brings more new-pattern benches to schools
C. encourages more students to choose buddy benches
D. provides psychological care projects along
48. In Judith Ashton’s opinion, what students most need to know is _________.
A. how to understand each other
B. what buddy benches are about
C. the importance of expressing themselves
D. the necessity of listening to their friends
49. From what Sinead Mcgilloway said, we can know that _________.
A. 60% of the children in the study disliked these benches
B. over 90% of the children in the study once felt lonely
C. he once worried about children with mental problems
D. the public don’t have to worry about the use of buddy benches
50. What does the underlined word “tackle” mean?
A. Deal with. B. Check out.
C. Keep a record of. D. Leave out.
【答案】46. B 47. D 48. C 49. D 50. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了在操场放置伙伴长椅能够帮助孤独的学生找到朋友,一个名为“爱尔兰伙伴长凳”的社会组织不仅为学校提供长凳,还提供心理护理项目。他们希望这些长椅不仅能解决校园暴力和校园欺凌等问题,还能让学生有信心敞开心扉表达自己的感受。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中Buddy or Friendship Benches are needed because playgrounds can be lonely places sometimes. (伙伴或友谊长椅是需要的,因为操场有时可能是孤独的地方)以及下文They are encouraged to come over and sit on the bench and make a new friend.(他们被鼓励过来坐在长凳上,结交新朋友)可知伙伴长椅可以帮助感觉孤独的学生找到朋友。故选B。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中…a social organization called “Buddy Bench Ireland” that doesn’t just provide schools with benches, but also runs special projects with trained child psychiatrists.(……一个名为“爱尔兰伙伴长凳”的社会组织不仅为学校提供长凳,还与训练有素的儿童精神病学家一起开展特殊项目)可知一个名为“爱尔兰长凳伙伴”的组织提供心理护理项目。故选D。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段Judith Ashton, a co-founder of Buddy Bench Ireland said, “The children need to understand what the bench is about, what it represents ----friendship, understanding, listening to each other and the most important thing is that it’s important to express feelings.”(Buddy Bench Ireland的联合创始人Judith Ashton说:“孩子们需要理解这张长椅的意义,它代表着什么——友谊、理解、相互倾听,最重要的是表达自己的感受。”)可知在Judith Ashton看来,学生们最需要知道的是表达自己的重要性。故选C。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中We found that 40% of the children told us that they had actually used the benches at the time of the study. And over 90% said that they would talk to a child if that child was sitting on the bench. So, there’s nothing to worry about.(我们发现40%的孩子告诉我们,他们在学习时确实使用过这些长椅。超过90%的人表示,如果孩子坐在凳子上,他们会和他说话。所以,没什么好担心的)可知从Sinead Mcgilloway所说的,我们可以知道,公众不必担心伙伴长椅的使用问题。故选D。
【50题详解】
词义猜测题。根据下文problems like school violence and school bullying, but also give students the confidence to open up about their feelings.可知在爱尔兰,他们希望这些长椅不仅能解决校园暴力和校园欺凌等问题,还能让学生有信心敞开心扉表达自己的感受。故划线单词意思为“处理”。故选A。

阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题
The autumn wind woke me up from my dream. I took a deep breath and looked around. Suddenly I saw two people approaching me. As there was no one else in the park. they caught my attention immediately.
The two people were getting closer and I heard them laughing. At first, this laugh made me annoyed as if they had broken my unity with this park and disturbed my thoughts. But all of a sudden, I noticed the age of them — they were old. I could not clearly identify their age, but the woman looked as old as my grandmother. She had grey hair, blue eyes. And a smile on her face. And all the time she was looking at HIM...
“Jim, I think we should change the park. It’s the same every Saturday. You know...” “Sus! Hug me.”— that was all he said. He looked at her, smiled and gave her a hug.
At this very moment, I saw an old but strong man who knew his wife, and no matter how often she could be complaining, he loved her! I imagined the many things they might go through together — so many hardships that might make them cry, all the problems that they might be experiencing right now and the probability that one of them would outlive the other. And the one that outlives will think the life they spent together was the most beautiful period of their life.
They left, and I was sitting on my bench, shocked, and I had a special feeling in my heart. This feeling was hope! The old couple with all the complaints and tons of mistakes behind their backs made me realize that it was happiness that mattered in life. Eventually, all people would get old and die, and what made a difference was the person you had dedicated your life to. I made a wish — waking up one day, being old and feeling proud of being together with the person I loved to overcome all the obstacles and fight for happiness.
51. Why did the author become angry at the old couple’s laugh?(no more than 15 words)
__________________________________________________________________________________
52. How did the author understand what she saw later?(no more than 10 words)
__________________________________________________________________________________
53. What did the author learn from the old couple?(no more than 10 words)
__________________________________________________________________________________
54. What does the underlined word “outlive” mean in the last paragraph but one?(no more than 3 words)
__________________________________________________________________________________
55. How do you find the old couple? How does the author’s experience inspire you? Please express it in your own words.(no more than 25 words)
__________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】51. Because it broke her unity with the park and disturbed her thoughts.
52. She saw their deep love.
53. Happiness matters in life.
54. Live longer than.
55. They’re lovely. Their love inspires me to value my loved ones.

【51题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中“At first, this laugh made me annoyed as if they had broken my unity with this park and disturbed my thoughts.( 起初,这种笑声让我很恼火,好像他们破坏了我和这个公园的统一,扰乱了我的思想)”可知,作者对老夫妇的笑声感到生气是因为这破坏了她与公园的统一,扰乱了她的思想。故答案是:Because it broke her unity with the park and disturbed her thoughts.

【53题详解】
考查细节理解。根据最后一段中“The old couple with all the complaints and tons of mistakes behind their backs made me realize that it was happiness that mattered in life.( 那对老夫妇把曾经的抱怨和错误都抛在身后,这让我意识到生活中最重要的是幸福)”可知,作者从这对老夫妇身上明白了幸福在生活中很重要。故答案是:Happiness matters in life.
【54题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据划线单词句中“…they might be experiencing right now and the probability that one of them would outlive the other.( 他们现在可能经历的所有问题,以及其中一个比另一个outlive的可能性)”以及倒数第二段中“And the one that outlives will think the life they spent together was the most beautiful period of their life.( 而活得久的人会认为他们一起度过的时光是他们一生中最美好的时光)”可知,划线单词所在句意为“他们现在可能经历的所有问题,以及其中一个比另一个活得更久的可能性”。故可猜测划线单词outlive意为“活得更久”。故答案是:Live longer.
【55题详解】
考查主观评价。本题为开放性题目,答案符合逻辑,且词数不超过25即可。我觉得那对老夫妇是可爱的,他们的爱激励我珍惜我所爱的人。故答案是:They’re lovely. Their love inspires me to value my loved ones.

Before I turned 10, I lost my parents. My siblings left Hyderabad after relatives adopted them, but I insisted on staying back to continue my education. I lived alone in a room that a family member allowed me to use rent-free. To support myself, I began to deliver newspapers.
I would be up every morning by 5 a.m. and walk five kilometers to the newspaper office. By 6 a.m., I would collect 50 copies of Manzil (Urdu Daily)—the bundle must have weighed over 5 kilograms. My beat spanned 3 kilometers. After distributing the copies, I would rush home—another 3 kilometers —quickly cat and be off to high school.
One wintry morning in 1945,I got home after my deliveries to find a boy of my age at my doorstep. He introduced himself as Afzal and said his father wanted to see me.
I was greeted at the door by Afzal's mother, Naseem. She served tea and snacks as Afzal's father, Mr Kader, joined us. She gently asked me about my daily routine. I told her about my morning job.
Later, as I was about to leave after thanking them, Mr Kader asked me to wait. Later, Mr Kader emerged again, wheeling a new bicycle. "This is for you!" he said.
It took a few seconds for the love to sink in. It felt warm, like home. I didn't realize tears were rolling down my face.
Mr Kader said. Your newspaper editor is a friend of mine. He gave me your address. so I knew you lived close by. Then Afzal told us more about you."
I bowed, gratefully, shook hands with Afzal and left. This time I did not have to walk—I had the bicycle.
The bicycle saved my life for many years thereafter and taught me a lifelong lesson: Help should always be need-based. Never try to feed a person who is dying of thirst.
41. Why did Afzal's father want to meet the author?
A. He wanted to help the author.
B. The author's parents used to be his friends.

42. How did the author feel after Afzal's father offered him the bicycle?

B. The author worked hard to support himself by delivering newspapers.
C. The author didn't cry although he felt touched by Mr Kader.

Buddy or Friendship Benches (长椅)are needed because playgrounds can be lonely places sometimes. When a school places the bench, they teach a little lesson to the kids on how it is to be used. Then when a child sits on the bench, it sends out a message to others that basically says, “ Hey, I’m alone right now and would welcome the company (陪伴) of others.” Kids in the playground see this and from their training, they see there is a fellow student in need. They are encouraged to come over and sit on the bench and make a new friend.
Benches like this have been around for a while now in many schools. But in Ireland, they are trying to do something different with them. This school in Cork in the south of Ireland is the 247th to get benches from a social organization called “Buddy Bench Ireland” that doesn’t just provide schools with benches, but also runs special projects with trained child psychiatrists (精神病专家).They use the bench as an opportunity to start conversations about mental health. They talk about the importance of knowing and understanding your feelings and those of others.
Judith Ashton, a co-founder of Buddy Bench Ireland said, “The children need to understand what the bench is about, what it represents ----friendship, understanding, listening to each other and the most important thing is that it’s important to express feelings.”
But do children really use the bench? It’s a matter of great public concern. Sinead Mcgilloway from Maynooth University carried out a study and said, “ We found that 40% of the children told us that they had actually used the benches at the time of the study.

The autumn wind woke me up from my dream. I took a deep breath and looked around. Suddenly I saw two people approaching me. As there was no one else in the park. they caught my attention immediately.
The two people were getting closer and I heard them laughing. At first, this laugh made me annoyed as if they had broken my unity with this park and disturbed my thoughts. But all of a sudden, I noticed the age of them — they were old. I could not clearly identify their age, but the woman looked as old as my grandmother. She had grey hair, blue eyes. And a smile on her face. And all the time she was looking at HIM...
“Jim, I think we should change the park. It’s the same every Saturday. You know...” “Sus! Hug me.”— that was all he said. He looked at her, smiled and gave her a hug.
At this very moment, I saw an old but strong man who knew his wife, and no matter how often she could be complaining, he loved her! I imagined the many things they might go through together — so many hardships that might make them cry, all the problems that they might be experiencing right now and the probability that one of them would outlive the other. And the one that outlives will think the life they spent together was the most beautiful period of their life.
They left, and I was sitting on my bench, shocked, and I had a special feeling in my heart. This feeling was hope! The old couple with all the complaints and tons of mistakes behind their backs made me realize that it was happiness that mattered in life. Eventually, all people would get old and die, and what made a difference was the person you had dedicated your life to. I made a wish — waking up one day, being old and feeling proud of being together with the person I loved to overcome all the obstacles and fight for happiness.
