二、完形填空

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.

Protecting nature isn’t difficult — it just needs    15    awareness and action. Let’s start today!

1. A. harm　　  B. support　　  C. ignore　　   D. control

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?
