They have been to more than 80 villages in Guizhou to take pictures for 1 for free, recording the changes that have taken place over the years. “Some elderly people and children had never had photos of 2 taken before. After they saw their pictures for the first time, their eyes were filled with 3 ,” said Zheng. It has now been more than ten years and the team is still very 4 . To keep the project going, the team members once made money in their spare time by collecting and 5 used books and bottles. In 2023, Zheng revisited Xinglongchang Village. He came across a villager who he had taken pictures of years ago and found that the village had 6 great changes. In one family photo, the villager and her two children were standing in front of their shabby (破旧的) house. “My new house was built six years ago. It is bright and 7 now,” the villager told Zheng. “At that time, my family was 8 . Now I can get 20,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan a year, and my husband can get more, which is enough to 9 the family.” At that moment, Zheng realized that the 10 he took not only recorded many happy moments, but also showed the changes that these villages have been through. He hopes that the project can continue for a long time. 1．A．directors B．teachers C．classmates D．villagers 2．A．ourselves B．himself C．themselves D．herself 3．A．joy B．sadness C．confidence D．fear 4．A．weak B．active C．talented D．tired 5．A．studying B．burning C．selling D．valuing 6．A．gone through B．fallen behind C．laid out D．searched for 7．A．narrow B．comfortable C．dirty D．empty 8．A．busy B．warm C．happy D．poor 9．A．praise B．miss C．support D．accept 10．A．pictures B．trips C．notes D．breaks 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．B 5．C 6．A 7．B 8．D 9．C 10．A 【导语】本文讲述了郑宇啸和他的摄影团队深入贵州乡村，为村民免费拍照记录生活变迁的故事，展现了十年间乡村的发展与照片背后的温暖意义。 1．句意：他们去过贵州80多个村庄，免费为村民拍照，记录这些年来发生的变化。 根据上下文，团队去乡村服务，拍照的对象是村民，villagers“村民”符合语境。 2．句意：一些老人和孩子以前从未拍过自己的照片。 此处指代“Some elderly people and children”，表示“他们自己”，应用反身代词themselves。ourselves的主语必须是“we”，himself/herself只能对应单数主语，均无法与复数主语匹配。 3．句意：当他们第一次看到自己的照片时，他们的眼里充满了喜悦。 上文讲到老人和孩子们以前从未拍过自己的照片，所以推断第一次看到自己的照片，人们会感到开心，joy“喜悦”符合语境。 4．句意：十多年过去了，这个团队仍然非常活跃。 根据后文“To keep the project going”可知，团队一直坚持项目，active“活跃的”符合语境。 5．句意：为了让项目继续下去，团队成员曾经在业余时间通过收集和出售旧书和瓶子来赚钱。 收集旧书和瓶子的目的是赚钱，selling“出售”符合语境，与“赚钱”的逻辑相符。 6．句意：他遇到了多年前拍过照的一位村民，发现这个村庄经历了巨大的变化。 根据上下文，村庄经历了变化，gone through“经历”符合语境。 7．句意：“我的新房子是六年前建的，现在又明亮又舒适。”村民告诉郑。 与破旧的旧房子相比，新房子是明亮且舒适的，comfortable“舒适的”符合语境，与“bright”并列描述的正面特征相符。 8．句意：那时候，我的家庭很贫穷。 根据后文“Now I can get 20,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan a year”的对比，过去的家庭状况是poor“贫穷的”。 9．句意：现在我一年能挣2万到3万元，我丈夫挣得更多，足够养家了。 根据语境，收入足够支撑家庭生活，support“养活/支撑”符合语境。 10．句意：在那一刻，郑意识到他拍的照片不仅记录了许多快乐的时刻，也展示了这些村庄所经历的变化。 全文围绕“摄影团队拍照”展开，pictures“照片”符合语境。 2． 阅读理解（每小题2分，共40分） A Come and Help with the City GamesOur City Games will be held from next July 20th to 28th.

Everything was quiet and the book in my hands was lovely until I felt my chair moving. At that moment, I thought to myself, “It is an earthquake.” I was scared as I ran to tell my parents. But when I reached them, the earthquake stopped. ▲ My family and I were not in danger and our house was still standing. We watched the news about the earthquake. The epicenter (震中) was very close to Muzaffarabad. We felt lucky to be in the city Kashmir. After we knew the situation in Muzaffarabad, I decided to volunteer to help those people right away. I arrived in the city of Muzaffarabad with a few other volunteers. We tried to help out the people there. After hours of digging, we found a few survivors. We quickly sent for doctors to make sure they were all right. When they met their families, they cried for joy. That made me very happy. However, not everyone had a happy ending.

It is not only a way to help people in need, but also a good chance for teenagers to improve themselves and enrich their life experiences. As an eighth-grade student, I have taken part in many volunteer activities in my spare time. Last Saturday, I joined a volunteer group to help clean up the city park. When we arrived in the morning, we found some rubbish everywhere. There were plastic bags, empty bottles and waste paper on the grass and along the roads. We divided ourselves into small groups. Some picked up the rubbish with tools, some swept the paths, and others reminded visitors to protect the environment. At first, some visitors looked at us in surprise, but soon many of them began to follow our example and stopped throwing rubbish casually. After three hours’ hard work, the whole park became clean and tidy. The fresh air and green trees made people feel comfortable. Although we felt a little tired, we were full of joy and pride. We knew our small effort could make our city more beautiful. Besides cleaning parks, I also go to the old people’s home once a month. I chat with the lonely old people, help them wash clothes and tell them interesting stories. Most of the old people there live alone and they really need care and company. Every time we leave, they always thank us with warm smiles. Volunteering teaches me a lot. It makes me learn to care about others instead of only thinking of myself. It also improves my communication skills and makes me more outgoing. I believe volunteering is a meaningful thing. I will keep on doing volunteer work and call on more classmates to join us to pass on warmth and kindness to our society. 21．What does the writer think of volunteering? A．It wastes study time B．It is meaningful and helpful C．It is boring and tiring D．It is only for adults 22．What did the writer do last Saturday?

A．Once a week B．Once a month C．Twice a month D．Every week 25．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The writer’s volunteer experience and feelings B．How to protect the environment in daily life C．The life of lonely old people in the city D．How to organize a volunteer group 【答案】21．B 22．B 23．C 24．B 25．A 【导语】本文介绍了作者的志愿服务经历及感悟。 21．文章最后一段提到“I believe volunteering is a meaningful thing”，且全文讲述志愿活动能帮助他人、提升自我，体现出志愿活动有意义且有益。 22．第二段开头明确说明“Last Saturday, I joined a volunteer group to help clean up the city park”，可知作者上周六去打扫城市公园。 23．第二段文中提到“At first, some visitors looked at us in surprise”，能看出一开始一些游客感到很惊讶。 24．第四段开头写明“I also go to the old people’s home once a month”，可知作者每月去一次养老院。 25．文章先介绍志愿服务的好处，再讲述作者打扫公园、看望老人的志愿经历，最后写出自己的收获与感悟，全篇围绕作者的志愿服务经历和内心感受展开。 D Jackie is writing a summary (总结) and feedback (反馈) about School Day to his teacher.

Every Sunday morning, the students come to the community’s elderly activity center. 32 Some students help the elderly clean their rooms and wash their clothes. Some talk with them and listen to their stories. Some even teach them how to use smartphones—many elderly people want to learn how to video call their children or use WeChat. 33 Mrs. Wang, an 82-year-old grandma, lives alone. Her children work in other cities, so she often feels lonely. Since the students came, she smiles every day. “They are like my grandchildren. They talk with me and help me do housework. I don’t feel lonely anymore,” she said. The students also hold small activities for the elderly on some festivals, like the Spring Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival. 34 They sing songs, dance and play games with the elderly. The elderly people also tell the students stories about the past, which lets the students learn a lot. 35 They say they will keep doing the volunteer activity and invite more students to join in.

It’s a kind of action to help those in trouble, like the unhealthy or the sick. Around the world, different charity activities happen every day. Let’s look into some common types. Donation (捐赠)—A Direct Help Donating is a popular way. People give money to charities. These groups use the money well. For example, they give clothes, food, or medicine to the people in need. Volunteering—Giving Time and Love Volunteers do important things. They visit children’s homes to spend time with kids, telling stories or teaching them skills. In community centers, volunteers help old people—checking their health or just talking with them. Some volunteers work in places for animals, taking care of pets without homes. It’s not just about helping others. Volunteers also get happiness from their work. Charity Events—Bringing People Together Many charity events are held to raise money and make people know the importance of helping others. Some events ask people to walk a certain distance, and each person asks others to donate money. Charity concerts invite famous singers. The money from tickets helps those in need. These events make more people know the problems and help solve them. Teenagers in Charity Don’t think teenagers are too young for charity. They have good ways. Some start “book drives” to collect old books for village schools. Others make handmade things and sell them, then give the money to charity groups. By joining in charity activities, teenagers learn to be responsible and find the joy of giving. Charity is like a light in the dark.

It is not only a way to help people in need, but also a good chance for teenagers to improve themselves and enrich their life experiences. As an eighth-grade student, I have taken part in many volunteer activities in my spare time. Last Saturday, I joined a volunteer group to help clean up the city park. When we arrived in the morning, we found some rubbish everywhere. There were plastic bags, empty bottles and waste paper on the grass and along the roads. We divided ourselves into small groups. Some picked up the rubbish with tools, some swept the paths, and others reminded visitors to protect the environment. At first, some visitors looked at us in surprise, but soon many of them began to follow our example and stopped throwing rubbish casually. After three hours’ hard work, the whole park became clean and tidy. The fresh air and green trees made people feel comfortable. Although we felt a little tired, we were full of joy and pride. We knew our small effort could make our city more beautiful. Besides cleaning parks, I also go to the old people’s home once a month. I chat with the lonely old people, help them wash clothes and tell them interesting stories. Most of the old people there live alone and they really need care and company. Every time we leave, they always thank us with warm smiles. Volunteering teaches me a lot. It makes me learn to care about others instead of only thinking of myself. It also improves my communication skills and makes me more outgoing. I believe volunteering is a meaningful thing. I will keep on doing volunteer work and call on more classmates to join us to pass on warmth and kindness to our society. 21．What does the writer think of volunteering?

It is not only a way to help people in need, but also a good chance for teenagers to improve themselves and enrich their life experiences. As an eighth-grade student, I have taken part in many volunteer activities in my spare time. Last Saturday, I joined a volunteer group to help clean up the city park. When we arrived in the morning, we found some rubbish everywhere. There were plastic bags, empty bottles and waste paper on the grass and along the roads. We divided ourselves into small groups. Some picked up the rubbish with tools, some swept the paths, and others reminded visitors to protect the environment. At first, some visitors looked at us in surprise, but soon many of them began to follow our example and stopped throwing rubbish casually. After three hours’ hard work, the whole park became clean and tidy. The fresh air and green trees made people feel comfortable. Although we felt a little tired, we were full of joy and pride. We knew our small effort could make our city more beautiful. Besides cleaning parks, I also go to the old people’s home once a month. I chat with the lonely old people, help them wash clothes and tell them interesting stories. Most of the old people there live alone and they really need care and company. Every time we leave, they always thank us with warm smiles. Volunteering teaches me a lot. It makes me learn to care about others instead of only thinking of myself. It also improves my communication skills and makes me more outgoing. I believe volunteering is a meaningful thing. I will keep on doing volunteer work and call on more classmates to join us to pass on warmth and kindness to our society. 21．What does the writer think of volunteering?

It’s a kind of action to help those in trouble, like the unhealthy or the sick. Around the world, different charity activities happen every day. Let’s look into some common types. Donation (捐赠)—A Direct Help Donating is a popular way. People give money to charities. These groups use the money well. For example, they give clothes, food, or medicine to the people in need. Volunteering—Giving Time and Love Volunteers do important things. They visit children’s homes to spend time with kids, telling stories or teaching them skills. In community centers, volunteers help old people—checking their health or just talking with them. Some volunteers work in places for animals, taking care of pets without homes. It’s not just about helping others. Volunteers also get happiness from their work. Charity Events—Bringing People Together Many charity events are held to raise money and make people know the importance of helping others. Some events ask people to walk a certain distance, and each person asks others to donate money. Charity concerts invite famous singers. The money from tickets helps those in need. These events make more people know the problems and help solve them. Teenagers in Charity Don’t think teenagers are too young for charity. They have good ways. Some start “book drives” to collect old books for village schools. Others make handmade things and sell them, then give the money to charity groups. By joining in charity activities, teenagers learn to be responsible and find the joy of giving. Charity is like a light in the dark. It shows us the power of love and how every small action can make a difference. 56．What is charity all about? 57．Where do volunteers help the elderly according to the passage? 58．What do volunteers get from their work? 59．Why are charity events held? 60．How do teenagers do charity work?
