He received this honor for his excellent delivery work and active volunteer work. Wan said, “I feel very excited and proud.” Born in the countryside in Handan, Hebei province, Wan became a deliveryman in Tianjin in 2018. “It’s necessary to send every parcel (包裹) right to the customer in time,” he told the reporter from Beijing Daily. “The job is laborious (艰苦的), experiencing sunburn and wind. I thought about stopping, but finally got through the difficulties.” Wan usually delivers 500 parcels per day (700 or even 1,000 parcels daily during some online shopping holidays or sales seasons). He usually starts work at around 6 am and finishes at around 8 pm. Sometimes he has to work until midnight. Wan is a warm-hearted person who often pays much attention to the old and the disabled. He usually gets medicine for them and takes away their rubbish when delivering parcels. Wan has also been a volunteer in his community since April 2022. As a volunteer, he helps to check the area’s sanitation conditions (卫生状况) and safety risks for the community.

D．The history of the delivery industry in China. 20．What will Wan Haibo say at last? A．I think there will be no longer difficulties in the future. B．I will move to another community to enjoy my life. C．I will work hard to get more money for myself. D．I will encourage more people to join in volunteer work. C When people discover that I work as a film and TV extra (临时演员) , they always ask me the same questions: Emily, is it easy to get work? Isn’t it boring? Do you get to meet famous actors? Does it pay well? My answers are pretty standard (标准的) as well: Yes, Sometimes. Once in a while. Kind of. The life of an extra is both more interesting and more boring than you might imagine. Extras, who play the people in crowds, on streets, or in the background of indoor scenes, can come from all walks of life. Unlike many extras, I’m a trained actor. I do get real speaking roles, but work can be hard to come by if you’re not a popular star. I’m registered (注册) with an agency that only deals with extras, so I get calls all the time. The agency explains that I’ll be someone in a crowd, a member of a jury and a clerk and tells me where to go. Call time is usually bright and early, so I try to go to bed at a reasonable hour. Sometimes being an extra is a “hurry up and wait” job. In my first extra role, I was one of a group of office workers who came out of a building just as a car exploded (爆炸) in the street. We waited for hours for the scene to be shot, and then went in and out of the building about fifty times, trying to act terrified by an explosion which was not real. Then we had lunch, changed clothes, and spent the afternoons as customers in a department store. It may sound like I don’t enjoy the work, but I do. Being part of the background in a convincing (令人信服的) way is challenging, and being on a film or TV set is always fascinating. A lot of famous actors don’t even notice the extras, but the ones who do make the job a lot of fun for everyone. As for money, it’s nothing compared to what the big actors make, but it pretty much pays the bills. And, as a bonus, I’ve beaten my high scores on all my phone games, thanks to all the time I spend sitting around, waiting for something to happen. 21．Why does Emily give standard answers? A．Because she is proud of her job. B．Because she wants to hide her feelings. C．Because she thinks it’s unnecessary to explain. D．Because she wants to show off her experiences. 22．What does Emily think of her job? A．Busy. B．Enjoyable. C．Fashionable. D．Easy. 23．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The famous actors look down upon the extras. B．Being an extra is always a “hurry up and wait” job. C．Emily tells the truth about being a film and TV extra. D．Those who want to be film or TV extras must be trained. 24．What does the underlined part “as a bonus” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Above expectation. B．As a result. C．In general. D．After all. 25．We can infer that Emily ________. A．often pays the bills for others B．sometimes has to get up very early C．has beaten all the phone game players D．was in the face of danger in her first extra role D Do you know the job of a travel experience officer (旅行体验官)? It’s an interesting and cool job. Travel experience officers go to different places. They try many things, such as comfortable hotels and delicious food. They do many activities, like hiking in the mountains, sailing on the sea, or joining festivals. Then they share their real feelings with others. They use words, pictures, or videos. This helps people plan trips better, like where to stay and what to see. To do this job, you don’t need a good education, but love for travelling. You should know different travel styles, from cheap trips to expensive vacations. Good writing skills help you describe your experiences clearly.

Record every great moment during the trip to write in a lively way. Last but not least, this job also needs a healthy body. Why is this job great? Because every trip is a new experience. One day you might wake up by the sea, and the next day you might climb an ancient mountain. You’ll meet friends from other countries, learn about their cultures, and see amazing views. It’s a wonderful way to see the world and share happy stories and useful tips. However, the job is not always easy. It has its difficulties. Bad weather or transport (交通) problems may happen. You must deal with any problem. If you are curious about new things, love travelling and enjoy sharing, this job could be perfect for you. What a cool way to turn your love for travelling into a meaningful job! 26．How does the writer begin the text? A．By asking a question. B．By telling a story. C．By using a saying.

D．I will encourage more people to join in volunteer work. 【答案】16．C 17．C 18．A 19．B 20．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了快递员万海波被评为全国劳动模范的事迹，包括他的工作态度、日常工作量、对老人和残疾人的关心以及参与社区志愿服务的经历。 【详解】16．第二段最后一句提到“I thought about stopping, but finally got through the difficulties.”，结合上下文，此处“got through”意为“度过”困难。 17．第四段和第五段提到万海波为老人和残疾人取药、倒垃圾（①），以及作为志愿者检查社区卫生和安全情况（③④）。②“卖药给老人和残疾人”与文意不符。 18．第五段第一句提到“Wan has also been a volunteer in his community since April 2022.”，结合文章发表时间（2026年），可知他做志愿者约4年。 19．全文主要讲述万海波作为快递员的日常工作、获得的荣誉以及他热心助人和志愿服务的经历，概括为“模范快递员的日常生活与成就”。 20．文章最后提到万海波对快递员受到更多尊重感到高兴，结合他热心公益的性格，最可能说的话是鼓励更多人参与志愿服务。 C When people discover that I work as a film and TV extra (临时演员) , they always ask me the same questions: Emily, is it easy to get work? Isn’t it boring? Do you get to meet famous actors? Does it pay well? My answers are pretty standard (标准的) as well: Yes, Sometimes. Once in a while. Kind of. The life of an extra is both more interesting and more boring than you might imagine. Extras, who play the people in crowds, on streets, or in the background of indoor scenes, can come from all walks of life. Unlike many extras, I’m a trained actor. I do get real speaking roles, but work can be hard to come by if you’re not a popular star. I’m registered (注册) with an agency that only deals with extras, so I get calls all the time. The agency explains that I’ll be someone in a crowd, a member of a jury and a clerk and tells me where to go. Call time is usually bright and early, so I try to go to bed at a reasonable hour. Sometimes being an extra is a “hurry up and wait” job. In my first extra role, I was one of a group of office workers who came out of a building just as a car exploded (爆炸) in the street. We waited for hours for the scene to be shot, and then went in and out of the building about fifty times, trying to act terrified by an explosion which was not real. Then we had lunch, changed clothes, and spent the afternoons as customers in a department store. It may sound like I don’t enjoy the work, but I do. Being part of the background in a convincing (令人信服的) way is challenging, and being on a film or TV set is always fascinating. A lot of famous actors don’t even notice the extras, but the ones who do make the job a lot of fun for everyone. As for money, it’s nothing compared to what the big actors make, but it pretty much pays the bills. And, as a bonus, I’ve beaten my high scores on all my phone games, thanks to all the time I spend sitting around, waiting for something to happen. 21．Why does Emily give standard answers? A．Because she is proud of her job. B．Because she wants to hide her feelings. C．Because she thinks it’s unnecessary to explain. D．Because she wants to show off her experiences. 22．What does Emily think of her job? A．Busy. B．Enjoyable. C．Fashionable. D．Easy. 23．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The famous actors look down upon the extras. B．Being an extra is always a “hurry up and wait” job. C．Emily tells the truth about being a film and TV extra. D．Those who want to be film or TV extras must be trained. 24．What does the underlined part “as a bonus” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Above expectation. B．As a result. C．In general. D．After all. 25．We can infer that Emily ________. A．often pays the bills for others B．sometimes has to get up very early C．has beaten all the phone game players D．was in the face of danger in her first extra role 【答案】21．C 22．B 23．C 24．A 25．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了艾米丽作为影视临时演员的工作经历，包括人们对她工作的常见问题、她的回答、工作情况、对工作的看法等。 21．第一段提到“My answers are pretty standard (标准的) as well: Yes, Sometimes. Once in a while. Kind of.”，结合前文人们总是问她相同的问题，可推测出她觉得这些问题没必要详细解释，所以给出标准答案。 22．第四段提到“It may sound like I don’t enjoy the work, but I do.”，说明艾米丽认为她的工作是令人愉快的。 23．文章中艾米丽讲述了自己作为临时演员工作的各种情况，包括工作的难易、有趣与否、收入等，是真实地讲述了做影视临时演员的情况。 24．第四段提到“As for money, it’s nothing compared to what the big actors make, but it pretty much pays the bills. And, as a bonus, I’ve beaten my high scores on all my phone games, thanks to all the time I spend sitting around, waiting for something to happen.”，前面说收入能付账单，后面说在等待时手机游戏得了高分，这是超出预期的好处。 25．第二段提到“Call time is usually bright and early, so I try to go to bed at a reasonable hour.”，说明她有时得早起。 D Do you know the job of a travel experience officer (旅行体验官)? It’s an interesting and cool job. Travel experience officers go to different places. They try many things, such as comfortable hotels and delicious food. They do many activities, like hiking in the mountains, sailing on the sea, or joining festivals. Then they share their real feelings with others. They use words, pictures, or videos. This helps people plan trips better, like where to stay and what to see. To do this job, you don’t need a good education, but love for travelling.

One day you might wake up by the sea, and the next day you might climb an ancient mountain. You’ll meet friends from other countries, learn about their cultures, and see amazing views.

They can search for new treatments online when they face rare (罕见的) illnesses, and they can even talk to other doctors around the world to share ideas. With video calls, they can check on patients who cannot come to the hospital. All of these save time, make their work easier and help patients get better care. For teachers, the Internet is a great tool. They can find fun videos and games to make their lessons more interesting, which helps students learn better.

I thought about stopping, but finally got through the difficulties.” Wan usually delivers 500 parcels per day (700 or even 1,000 parcels daily during some online shopping holidays or sales seasons). He usually starts work at around 6 am and finishes at around 8 pm. Sometimes he has to work until midnight. Wan is a warm-hearted person who often pays much attention to the old and the disabled.

C When people discover that I work as a film and TV extra (临时演员) , they always ask me the same questions: Emily, is it easy to get work? Isn’t it boring? Do you get to meet famous actors? Does it pay well? My answers are pretty standard (标准的) as well: Yes, Sometimes. Once in a while. Kind of. The life of an extra is both more interesting and more boring than you might imagine. Extras, who play the people in crowds, on streets, or in the background of indoor scenes, can come from all walks of life. Unlike many extras, I’m a trained actor. I do get real speaking roles, but work can be hard to come by if you’re not a popular star. I’m registered (注册) with an agency that only deals with extras, so I get calls all the time. The agency explains that I’ll be someone in a crowd, a member of a jury and a clerk and tells me where to go. Call time is usually bright and early, so I try to go to bed at a reasonable hour. Sometimes being an extra is a “hurry up and wait” job. In my first extra role, I was one of a group of office workers who came out of a building just as a car exploded (爆炸) in the street. We waited for hours for the scene to be shot, and then went in and out of the building about fifty times, trying to act terrified by an explosion which was not real. Then we had lunch, changed clothes, and spent the afternoons as customers in a department store. It may sound like I don’t enjoy the work, but I do. Being part of the background in a convincing (令人信服的) way is challenging, and being on a film or TV set is always fascinating. A lot of famous actors don’t even notice the extras, but the ones who do make the job a lot of fun for everyone. As for money, it’s nothing compared to what the big actors make, but it pretty much pays the bills. And, as a bonus, I’ve beaten my high scores on all my phone games, thanks to all the time I spend sitting around, waiting for something to happen. 21．Why does Emily give standard answers? A．Because she is proud of her job. B．Because she wants to hide her feelings. C．Because she thinks it’s unnecessary to explain. D．Because she wants to show off her experiences. 22．What does Emily think of her job? A．Busy. B．Enjoyable. C．Fashionable. D．Easy. 23．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The famous actors look down upon the extras. B．Being an extra is always a “hurry up and wait” job. C．Emily tells the truth about being a film and TV extra. D．Those who want to be film or TV extras must be trained. 24．What does the underlined part “as a bonus” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Above expectation. B．As a result. C．In general. D．After all. 25．We can infer that Emily ________. A．often pays the bills for others B．sometimes has to get up very early C．has beaten all the phone game players D．was in the face of danger in her first extra role D Do you know the job of a travel experience officer (旅行体验官)?
