In some parts of the world, people greet each other by touching noses. In New Zealand, the Maori people have a traditional greeting called “hongi”. They press their noses and foreheads together. This represents the sharing of breath and life.
In Tibet, people stick out their tongues (伸出舌头) to greet others. This tradition started a long time ago. A cruel king had a black tongue, so people showed their tongues to prove they were not like him. Today, it is a sign of respect.
In the Philippines, younger people greet their elders by taking the elder’s hand and pressing it to their own forehead. This is called “mano” or “bless”. It shows respect and asks for a blessing.
In some African cultures, people may clap hands when they greet. The number of claps and the way of clapping can have different meanings.

Living in a city for one day with just one yuan seems impossible, but 60 students from Xi’an accepted this challenge. The “One Yuan Metropolis Survival” activity tested students’ living skills while raising money for charity. This event has happened in eight cities and is going to four others including Beijing in May.
To face challenges, some students thought of many ways to earn money. They looked for part-time jobs. Zhang Qiyue who is 14 years old asked more than 10 restaurants for a job before finally getting a job as a waiter. “I felt worried when refused, but I got used to it slowly,” he said. After working for eight hours in a day, he earned 200 yuan.
Others made use of their artistic abilities in public. Zhao Jiacheng, another 14-year-old student, successfully sold his handmade paper crafts and drawings. “This experience showed that it’s important to develop a special skill,” he said.
The money from this event will help poor schools in Tibet. As the activity spreads to more cities, students learn important lessons about never giving up and being creative. This challenge shows that with hard work and skills, young people can solve difficult problems.
18.How many cities have already held this activity before Xi’an?

Volunteering is a great way to help others and make the world a warmer place. In our community, a group of high school students started a volunteer activity to help the elderly people.
26 The activity is called “Love for the Elderly”, and it has been going on for six months. Every Sunday morning, the students come to the community’s elderly activity center. 27 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.
28 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. 29 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.
30 They say they will keep doing the volunteer activity and invite more students to join in. They hope more people can care about the elderly and help them. Volunteering is not just about helping others; it’s also about growing up and learning the meaning of life.
A.The elderly people all love the students very much.
B.They don’t have enough time to do the volunteer activity.
C.They prepare different kinds of help for the elderly.
D.The students say they have learned a lot from the activity.
E.It started because they found many elderly people in the community need help.

A.worries too much B.worries more much C.cares too much D.cares so much
【答案】D
【详解】句意:他如此关心无家可归的宠物,以至于他周末在动物收容所做志愿者。
根据“that”从句可知,此处考查固定句型so…that…,意为“如此……,以至于……”,排除选项A、B和C,cares意为“关心”,此处表达的意思是“关心”宠物,因此,去做志愿者。
2.If you make a promise to others, you should always ________.
A.keep your word B.break your word C.eat your words D.say a word
【答案】A
【详解】句意:如果你对别人做出了承诺,你应该总是守信。
keep your word遵守诺言;break your word违背诺言;eat your words收回自己的话;say a word说句话。根据“If you make a promise to others”可推知,做出承诺后应当遵守诺言。故选A。
3.—You must be excited that you are going to get the award.
—I ________ it.
A.can’t wait for B.can’t agree with C.can’t forget about D.can’t hear about
【答案】A
【详解】句意:——你肯定很兴奋你要获奖了。——我迫不及待了。

A.surprised B.moved C.excited D.bored
【答案】B
【详解】句意:她被陌生人礼貌地提出帮她搬重箱子的举动深深地感动了。
surprised惊讶的;moved感动的;excited兴奋的;bored无聊的。根据“stranger’s polite offer to help her carry the heavy box”可知是陌生人的善意帮助,结合“deeply”,推测出她是被感动了。应填moved。
5.Sometimes we are just ________ to refuse to do what we don’t want to do.
A.polite enough B.too polite C.rude enough D.too rude
【答案】B
【详解】句意:有时候我们只是太礼貌了而不能拒绝做我们不想做的事情。
polite enough足够礼貌;too polite太礼貌;rude enough足够粗鲁;too rude太粗鲁。too... to...表示“太……而不能……”,具有否定含义;adj.+ enough to表示“足够……去做……”,具有肯定含义。根据“refuse to do what we don’t want to do”,可知因为过于礼貌导致无法拒绝,符合too...to...结构表示否定结果的逻辑。
6.I ________ China continuously for three months, and interestingly, this is the first time that I have ever tried on traditional Hanfu clothing in my entire life.
A.have gone to B.have been to C.have arrived in D.have been in
【答案】D
【详解】句意:我在中国连续待了三个月,有趣的是,这是我一生中第一次尝试传统的汉服。
have gone to去了某地;have been to去过某地;have arrived in到达某地,不与时间段连用;have been in在某地待了多长时间。根据“for three months”是一段时间可知,此处指在中国连续待了三个月,用have been in。

A.of; to B.for; to C.to; for D.of; for
【答案】A
【详解】句意:他非常慷慨,捐了这么大一笔钱给慈善机构,尤其是他自己并不富裕的时候。
It is + adj. + of/for + sb. + to do sth.为固定句型,generous“慷慨的”,是用来描述人的性格品质的形容词,此类形容词后介词应用of,第二空用动词不定式作真正的主语。应填of; to。
8.It is ________ of Tom to be late for school again.
A.careless B.important C.difficult D.necessary
【答案】A
【详解】句意:汤姆又上学迟到了,真是粗心。

【答案】A
【详解】句意:这个女孩太小了而不能去上学。
too+形容词/副词+to do sth表示“太……而不能……”;形容词/副词+enough+to do sth表示“足够……去做……”。enough修饰形容词需后置;for为了……,后常接名词。结合“young”以及“go to school”可知,此处表示女孩因太小而不能上学,符合too…to…结构。
10.I feel it silly ________ him to argue (争吵) with his parents like that.
A.for B.of C.to D.about
【答案】B
【详解】句意:我觉得他那样和父母争吵是愚蠢的。

Volunteering is a great way to help others and make the world a warmer place. In our community, a group of high school students started a volunteer activity to help the elderly people.
26 The activity is called “Love for the Elderly”, and it has been going on for six months. Every Sunday morning, the students come to the community’s elderly activity center. 27 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.
28 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. 29 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.
30 They say they will keep doing the volunteer activity and invite more students to join in. They hope more people can care about the elderly and help them. Volunteering is not just about helping others; it’s also about growing up and learning the meaning of life.
A.The elderly people all love the students very much.
B.They don’t have enough time to do the volunteer activity.
C.They prepare different kinds of help for the elderly.
D.The students say they have learned a lot from the activity.
E.It started because they found many elderly people in the community need help.

42.句意:然而,我认为我应该理解我的妈妈,并努力让她开心,而不是和她吵架。空格后为动名词“fighting”,结合句意,作者想通过让妈妈开心的方式“代替”或“而不是”和她吵架。方框中“instead”与“of”构成短语“instead of”,后接动名词,意为“而不是……”,符合语境。
43.句意:这个周日,我计划在一家动物医院做志愿者。后文提示善举,此处应是去动物医院做志愿者,“plan to do sth.”是固定搭配,意为“计划做某事”,方框中“volunteer”符合语境,需用不定式形式“to volunteer”。
