Last month, our class organized a project about “Protecting Our Local Wetlands”. Wetlands are important because they 1 wildlife, clean water, and prevent floods. However, many wetlands are 2 because of human activities like building houses and factories.
Our first task was to visit a nearby wetland park. When we arrived, we saw a sign that said, “No Fishing”. Our teacher explained, “Fishing here can 3 the balance of the ecosystem.” Just then, we noticed a man trying to catch fish with a net. My classmate Lily shouted, “Hey! That’s against the rules!” The man felt 4 and walked away.
Next, we started to clean up the area. There was a lot of 5 — plastic bottles, paper bags, and even old tires. We worked for two hours and filled five big 6 with rubbish. While we were working, a girl named Anna found a 7 bird under a bush. Its wing was hurt. We knew we had to help it 8 .
We took the bird to an animal rescue center. The workers there told us the bird needed special care. They said, “If people don’t respect nature, more animals will be in 9 .” This made us think about how 10 it is to follow rules and protect wildlife.
Back at school, we made a poster to teach others about wetland protection. We wrote, “Every small action 11 — whether it’s not fishing, picking up litter, or reporting 12 behavior.”
Now, whenever I see a “No Fishing” or “No Littering” sign, I remember our project. These signs aren’t just rules; they’re 13 to keep our environment safe. If everyone does their part, we can make sure wetlands stay 14 places for both animals and people.

三、阅读理解
Tim was a university student who signed up for a volunteer programme at a training centre for people with intellectual disabilities. At first, he thought his job would be simple—just helping the trainers carry equipment or clean the room. However, on his first day, he was asked to stay with a 19-year-old boy named Jason, who had difficulty expressing himself and often felt nervous in public.
Tim tried to talk to Jason, but Jason lowered his head and said nothing. Instead of giving up, Tim remembered what the centre director had told him—“Patience is more important than words.” So Tim sat beside Jason and started to practise throwing a soft ball with him. Gradually, Jason began to respond with a smile and even tried to say “good” when Tim praised him.
Over the next six months, Tim went to the centre every weekend. He designed simple picture cards to help Jason communicate and encouraged him to join group activities. To everyone's surprise, Jason finally stood on the small stage at the centre's annual show and introduced himself in front of over a hundred people—something his parents never expected he could do.
When Tim graduated, he wrote in his diary, "I used to think volunteering was about giving help. Now I know it's also about receiving—learning what real patience, courage and equality mean. The sunshine you bring to others will finally warm yourself, too."
1. Why did Tim join the volunteer programme at first?
A. Because he wanted to learn how to train disabled athletes.
B. Because he was required to do it for his university credits.
C. Because he thought the work would be easy and simple.
D. Because he had a relative with an intellectual disability.
2. How did Tim first manage to get Jason to respond?
A. By talking to him repeatedly.
B. By showing him picture cards immediately.
C. By sitting with him and playing a simple ball game.
D. By persuading him to speak on the stage.
3. What change did Jason show after six months of Tim's help?
A. He could live independently without any assistance.
B. He introduced himself in public at the annual show.
C. He became a trainer at the centre.
D. He learned to read and write perfectly.
4. The underlined word “equality” in the last paragraph probably means “______”.
A. The state of being treated the same as others.
B. The feeling of feeling sorry for someone.
C. The ability to win a competition.
D. The wish to become famous.
5. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Intellectual disabilities cannot be improved by volunteers.
B. Volunteers should focus on physical work rather than communication.
C. Helping disabled people is a one-way act of giving.
D. Volunteering brings growth and understanding to both the giver and the receiver.
四、信息还原(六选五)
Volunteering is more than just showing up and doing what you are told. It requires skills, patience, and the right attitude to truly make a difference. If you want to be a valuable volunteer this summer, here are some suggestions.
Before you start, take time to learn about the organization and the people you will serve. 1 This knowledge helps you avoid misunderstandings and provide better care. For example, if you are working with children with intellectual disabilities, understand their habits and needs first.
It is natural to feel uncomfortable when facing new situations. You might meet people with severe physical disabilities or hear sad stories. 2 Being mentally prepared allows you to stay strong and helpful instead of escaping from these moments.
Even if you have great ideas, remember that you are part of a team. 3 Never try to change plans on your own, as this might cause trouble for others or even put the people you help in danger. Listen carefully to the project leaders and follow the rules.
Your attitude matters more than your skills. Always treat everyone with respect, whether they are disabled, elderly, or homeless. 4 Remember, you are there to help, not to look down on anyone. Use polite language and maintain eye contact.
Finally, keep a record of your feelings and experiences. Write down what you learned each day. 5 Not only does this help you reflect on your growth, but it also allows you to share your story with others and inspire more people to join the cause.
A. Keep a reflective diary.
B. Learn about your service targets.
C. Stay positive and never give up.
D. Respect everyone you meet.
E. Get ready for emotional challenges.
F. Follow instructions and teamwork rules.

五、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
In recent years, the concept of "inclusive design" has shifted from merely building ramps for wheelchairs to creating a society where no one feels left out. This change is particularly evident in the job market. Companies like "Harmony Tech" are leading the way by actively hiring individuals with autism(自闭症).
Unlike traditional interviews that focus on verbal skills and eye contact, Harmony Tech uses a skill-based assessment. They found that many autistic programmers, though struggling with small talk, possess extraordinary concentration and logical thinking. These talents often complete coding tasks with higher accuracy than their colleagues.
However, integration is not just about hiring. It requires changing the workplace culture. The company provides quiet rooms for employees to retreat when feeling overwhelmed. Managers are trained to give clear, written instructions rather than vague hints. This benefits not only autistic staff but also improves efficiency for everyone.
Critics argue that these adjustments are costly and time-consuming. Yet, the data tells a different story. Employee loyalty has increased significantly, and the company's innovation index has reached a record high. True inclusivity is not about charity; it is about recognizing that diversity is a form of strength.
回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过5个单词。
1. What is the passage mainly about?
2. Where is the inclusive design trend evident?
3. Why does Harmony Tech hire autistic programmers?
4. What does "small talk" refer to in Paragraph 2?
5. According to the writer, what is diversity?
六、首字母填空
Can dogs read? Of course not. But at the "Happy Paws" centre, a golden retriever named Sunny is helping children with dyslexia(诵读困难症)learn to love books.
Every Saturday, Sunny lies down q 1 in the corner of the library. He doesn't laugh when a child stammers(结巴)or makes a m 2 Instead, he just listens with his head on the child’s lap. This non-judgmental atmosphere gives the children c 3 to try again and again.
Dr. Lee, the founder of the centre, explains that reading to a dog is less stressful t 4 reading to a human teacher. “The dog won't correct you. It just wags its t 5 ,” he says. This method has proved to be very effective. Over 80% of the children here have i 6 their reading speed by 50% in just three months.
However, running such a program is not easy. It r 7 a lot of money to train both the dogs and the volunteers. Donations from local businesses are n 8 to buy books and food for the dogs. Dr. Lee h 9 that one day, this therapy can be available to more kids who struggle in silence. After all, helping others is not only about giving money, but also about offering a w 10 heart.
