Louise Larcombe was studying for a Master’s in Public Health at the University of Melbourne when she started looking for a way to help out the local community. She decided to join the Heart of Carlton program run by Sports Without Borders in 2019. She is now in her third year of volunteering for the program. The program is designed to get school kids to connect with their local community through sports. It addresses a different theme each week for the children to learn about and discuss, such as a healthy diet, good sportsmanship, and teamwork. Larcombe said it can be quite a challenge for her because a classroom-of kids can be pretty wild after class, and they want to go play soccer instead of listening to her. Larcombe found it easy to get involved because sports naturally attracted her and she wanted to understand the effects of sports on a community directly. “Sport is a cool platform for improving health. People get the physical activity and it brings them together. It’s a good platform for health messaging,” she said. Larcombe believes the Heart of Carlton program is a great stepping stone for people to connect with the community. Sports Without Borders has a good support network, where teachers are involved from the get-go, and parents often lend their support. Meanwhile, it is also assisted by the R. E. Ross Trust and the Telco Together Foundation, helping primary school kids learn through sports. 1．What did Larcombe do as her mission in volunteering for the Heart of Carlton program in 2019? (no more than 12 words) 2．What bothered Larcombe in her volunteer work for the program? (no more than 12 words) 3．What is the role of sports in communities in Larcombe’s view? (no more than 15 words) 4．What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “stepping stone” in the last paragraph? (no more than 5 words) 5．Besides sports, what activities help connect you with your community? Please explain it in your own words. (no more than 20 words) 【答案】1．She connected pupils with their community using sports./She helped school kids connect with the community through sports. 2．That the kids were wild and didn’t want to listen to her/ preferred playing soccer to listening./ Managing energetic kids preferring soccer over discussions. 3．Improving people’s health, connecting people and getting them to share health information./ Sports unite people, promote health, and spread health messages./ Sports improve health and bring people together in communities. 4．Bridge/ Means/ Gateway/Foundation/ Starting point/Initial (First) step/Springboard. 5．Holding book sales where you can buy books at a favorable price and make friends with community members./Volunteering for community service helps me connect with my community by helping others and building relationships. 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了Larcombe通过体育项目助力小学生融入社区的相关事迹。 1．考查细节理解。根据第二段中“The program is designed to get school kids to connect with their local community through sports.(该项目旨在让学生通过体育运动与当地社区建立联系)”以及“She decided to join the Heart of Carlton program run by Sports Without Borders in 2019. She is now in her third year of volunteering for the program.(2019年，她决定加入由体育无国界组织运营的“Heart of Carlton”项目。她现在已经是这个项目的第三年志愿者了)”可知，Larcombe在2019年作为志愿者参与“Heart of Carlton”项目的使命是通过体育帮助小学生与社区建立联系。故答案为She connected pupils with their community using sports./ She helped school kids connect with the community through sports. 2．考查细节理解。根据第三段中“Larcombe said it can be quite a challenge for her because a classroom-of kids can be pretty wild after class, and they want to go play soccer instead of listening to her.(Larcombe说，这对她来说是一个相当大的挑战，因为一个教室的孩子在课后可能会非常狂野，他们想去踢足球，而不是听她讲课)”可知，在参与项目时，让Larcombe感到困扰的是孩子们很狂野，不想听她讲课，而是想去踢足球。故答案为That the kids were wild and didn’t want to listen to her/preferred playing soccer to listening./Managing energetic kids preferring soccer over discussions. 3．考查细节理解。根据第四段中“Sport is a cool platform for improving health. People get the physical activity and it brings them together. It’s a good platform for health messaging(运动是一个改善健康的很好的平台。人们进行体育活动，它把他们聚集在一起。这是一个很好的健康信息传播平台)”可知，在Larcombe看来，体育运动在社区中可以改善人们的健康，将人们联系在一起，并让人们分享健康信息。故答案为Improving people’s health, connecting people and getting them to share health information./Sports unite people, promote health, and spread health messages./Sports improve health and bring people together in communities. 4．考查词句猜测。根据上文“Larcombe believes the Heart of Carlton program is a great(Larcombe认为Heart of Carlton项目是一个很好的)”以及后文“for people to connect with the community(人们与社区建立联系)”可知，Larcombe认为Heart of Carlton项目是一个很好的人们与社区建立联系的途径，即“垫脚石”，故stepping stone意思与“纽带，方法，途径，基础，起点，跳板”相近。故答案为Bridge/ Means/ Gateway/ Foundation/Starting point/ Initial (First) step/ Springboard. 5．考查开放性题目。题目要求回答除了运动之外，还有什么活动可以帮助你与社区建立联系，并解释原因。开放性题目，言之有理即可，答案不唯一，例如：举办图书特卖会，你可以以优惠的价格买到书，并与社区成员交朋友/参加社区服务活动，帮助他人和建立关系可以帮助我与社区建立联系。故答案为Holding book sales where you can buy books at a favorable price and make friends with community members./Volunteering for community service helps me connect with my community by helping others and building relationships. Passage 2 （24-25高一下·天津西青·期末）阅读下列短文并回答问题。 Sam, a young boy from a small town, dreamed of climbing the big mountain he could see from his bedroom window. While everyone in town said it was too dangerous, Sam remained determined. One clear morning, Sam put on his boots, packed a small bag with water, an apple, and his favorite cap. He told his dog, Buddy, “Today’s the day we make history, Buddy!” The climb began smoothly. Sam and Buddy followed a narrow road lined with wildflowers. But the weather quickly changed. Dark clouds rolled in, and a sharp wind began to blow. Sam thought about turning back but held onto his dream. “We can do this,” he said, encouraging Buddy as they pushed forward. As they climbed higher, the path disappeared. Sam faced a tough choice: take the rocky route or move through the thick woods. He chose the rocks, thinking it would be faster. Halfway up, he slipped and hurt his left foot. The pain was sharp, but Sam refused to give up. He rested for a moment, ate his apple, and shared pieces with Buddy. “We’re in this together,” he said with determination. The sky cleared as they reached the final part of the climb. It was beautiful. Sam forgot his pain, driven by the beauty around him. With Buddy’s help, pulling on Sam’s shirt, they finally reached the top. The sight was beyond words. He could see his town, the river, and beyond. “We did it, Buddy!” he shouted, his voice full of joy. Sam realized the climb was about more than reaching the top. It was about bravery, making tough choices, and never giving up, no matter what. He and Buddy made their way down, slower this time but full of stories to tell.

Passage 3 （24-25高一下·天津南开·期末）阅读下面短文，按照要求用英语回答问题。 In late October 1997, on a typical fall morning, Mike was attacked by a tiger shark near his home on the island of Kauai while surfing with friends. The shark came right up under him and sank its teeth into his lower leg. As Mike struggled to free himself. the shark bit harder, shaking him violently. Mike followed his instinct: he punched (拳打) the shark in the face, again and again (which happens to be what the experts recommend) until the shark released him. Swimming to shore, Mike noticed his lower right leg was gone. His friends quickly applied a tourniquet (止血带) using his board leash (皮带), which doctors later said likely saved his life. It was another day before the“fog” lifted, at which point Mike opened his eyes and realized he was in hospital - a below-the-knee amputee (被截肢者). For the next few weeks while resting in bed, Mike spent time with his family, researched prosthetics (义肢) and considered the future. Once Mike was given the OK by his doctors, he did what many might consider unthinkable: He started riding the waves again. In fact, his first time back was near the site of his attack. But Mike was unshaken. Instead he was curious — why was he attacked? He remembered a fish y smell in the water that morning. Was that what attracted the shark? Mike’s curiosity led him to research sharks, and while he never figured out why he became a target, Mike did learn something that would change his life.·“Humans are far more dangerous to sharks than the other way around,” said Mike.“I watched a documentary called Sharkwater, and I learned about the demand for shark fin soup and the fact that 70 million sharks a. year are killed for their fins alone.” His unique situation as a shark survivor enabled him to give sharks a voice. He began working with the Hawaii state legislature (立法机构) to help pass a ban on shark-derived (鲨鱼衍生的) products. He partnered with other like-minded shark attack survivors and marine biologists, and they headed to Washington to urge senators to create a nationwide bill protecting sharks. He was also selected to speak to the United Nations about the importance of shark sanctuaries (保护区). 1．How did Mike manage to get rid of the shark? (no more than 10 words) 2．Why did Mike return to the site where he had been attacked originally? (no more than 10 words) 3．What shocking fact did Mike learn about sharks? (no more than 20 words) 4．What does the underlined word mean in the last paragraph? (no more than 3words) 5．What do you think of Mike? Please explain. (no more than 25 words) 【答案】1．By punching the shark in the face again and again./He punched the shark in the face repeatedly. 2．Because he was curious about why he was attacked. /Because he was curious about the reason for being attacked. 3．Humans kill 70 million sharks yearly for their fins, making humans far more dangerous to sharks./He learned the fact that humans are far more dangerous to sharks by killing them for their fins. 4．Collaborated/Cooperated. 5．6. Open/He is caring. 7. He showed empathy to sharks despite being attacked./He is a brave person. Because he saved himself from a dangerous shark attack and started to ride waves again. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了迈克在冲浪时被虎鲨攻击导致右腿截肢，但他没有放弃，反而开始研究鲨鱼并致力于保护鲨鱼的事业。 1．考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“Mike followed his instinct: he punched (拳打) the shark in the face, again and again (which happens to be what the experts recommend) until the shark released him.(迈克凭借本能：他一次又一次地击打鲨鱼的脸(这恰好是专家们的建议)，直到鲨鱼放开他。)”可知，迈克通过反复击打鲨鱼的脸摆脱了鲨鱼，故答案为By punching the shark in the face again and again./He punched the shark in the face repeatedly. 2．考查细节理解。根据文章第三段“But Mike was unshaken. Instead he was curious — why was he attacked? He remembered a fishy smell in the water that morning. Was that what attracted the shark?(但迈克没有动摇。相反，他很好奇——他为什么会被袭击？他记得那天早上水里有股鱼腥味。是那股气味吸引了鲨鱼吗？)”可知，迈克回到原来的被袭击的地方是因为他对被袭击的原因感到好奇，故答案为Because he was curious about why he was attacked./Because he was curious about the reason for being attacked. 3．考查细节理解。根据文章第四段“‘Humans are far more dangerous to sharks than the other way around,’ said Mike. ‘I watched a documentary called Sharkwater, and I learned about the demand for shark fin soup and the fact that 70 million sharks a year are killed for their fins alone.’(“人类对鲨鱼的危害远比对鲨鱼对人类的危害要大，”迈克说。“我看了一部名为《鲨鱼水域》的纪录片，我了解到了对鱼翅汤的需求，以及每年有7000万只鲨鱼仅因为它们的鳍就被杀死的事实。”)”可知，迈克了解到的关于鲨鱼的令人震惊的事实是人类每年因为鱼翅而杀死7000万只鲨鱼，这使得人类对鲨鱼的危害比对鲨鱼对人类的危害要大，故答案为Humans kill 70 million sharks yearly for their fins, making humans far more dangerous to sharks./He learned the fact that humans are far more dangerous to sharks by killing them for their fins. 4．考查词义猜测。划线词前面的句子“He began working with the Hawaii state legislature (立法机构) to help pass a ban on shark-derived (鲨鱼衍生的) products. (他开始与夏威夷州议会合作，以协助通过一项禁止销售鲨鱼衍生产品的法案。)”以及划线词所在句“He partnered with other like-minded shark attack survivors and marine biologists, and they headed to Washington to urge senators to create a nationwide bill protecting sharks.(他与其他志同道合的鲨鱼袭击幸存者和海洋生物学家……，他们前往华盛顿敦促参议员制定一项全国性的保护鲨鱼的法案。)”可知，开始与夏威夷州议会合作，以及与其他志同道合的鲨鱼袭击幸存者和海洋生物学家合作致力于保护鲨鱼的事业。划线单词“partnered”意为“合作”，相当于“collaborated/cooperated”，故答案为Collaborated/Cooperated. 5．考查推理判断。通读全文，结合最后一段“His unique situation as a shark survivor enabled him to give sharks a voice. He began working with the Hawaii state legislature (立法机构) to help pass a ban on shark-derived (鲨鱼衍生的) products. He partnered with other like-minded shark attack survivors and marine biologists, and they headed to Washington to urge senators to create a nationwide bill protecting sharks. He was also selected to speak to the United Nations about the importance of shark sanctuaries (保护区).(作为鲨鱼袭击的幸存者，他的独特经历使他能够为鲨鱼发声。他开始与夏威夷州立法机构合作，帮助通过禁止鲨鱼衍生产品的禁令。他与其他志同道合的鲨鱼袭击幸存者和海洋生物学家合作，他们前往华盛顿敦促参议员制定一项全国性的保护鲨鱼的法案。他还被选中在联合国就鲨鱼保护区的重要性发表演讲。)”可知，迈克尽管被鲨鱼袭击，但他对鲨鱼表示同情，开始为鲨鱼发声，由此可知他是一个富有同情心的人；结合第一段“Swimming to shore, Mike noticed his lower right leg was gone. His friends quickly applied a tourniquet (止血带) using his board leash (皮带), which doctors later said likely saved his life.(游到岸边时，迈克发现自己的右腿不见了。他的朋友们迅速用他的冲浪板皮带做了一个止血带，医生后来说这可能救了他的命。)”和第三段“Once Mike was given the OK by his doctors, he did what many might consider unthinkable: He started riding the waves again.(一旦医生同意，迈克就做了许多人认为不可能的事情：他又开始冲浪了。)”可知，迈克在危险的鲨鱼袭击中自救，并且又开始冲浪，由此可知他很勇敢。综上，故答案为1. Open/He is caring. 2. He showed empathy to sharks despite being attacked./He is a brave person. Because he saved himself from a dangerous shark attack and started to ride waves again. Passage 4 （24-25高一下·天津·期末）阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Caring 17-year-old Lauren Schroeder was inspired to help bring healthy food to needy families in her community. Volunteering at a food shelter when she was 14, and tasked with helping fill boxes for households in need with canned and packaged food, this Iowa teen felt that something was missing from the donated groceries: fresh vegetables. She shared with her parents her desire to start a garden on part of their family farm in Dixon, Iowa, to supply local families in need with fresh produce. Coming from a farming family, Lauren had some familiarity with agriculture, and had helped raise rabbits and lambs, but had never tried vegetable cultivation at scale, though the Schroeders plant soybeans and corn each year on their 150-acre farm. The work involved in realizing Lauren’s plan was no walk in the park. Initially, while proud of her daughter’s vision, her mother, Katie Shroeder, admitted having some misgivings about the work involved: “I was wondering, ‘Oh my gosh, how much work is this going to be? ‘ I wasn’t sure whether this would work.” This was one young change-maker, however! Lauren researched plants online, checking which species needed more shade, how much water was required, and when to harvest each crop. And during Iowa’s hot summers, she had to water her crops by hand for around 2-3 hours daily. She also checked daily for weeds, and bent down to pick her green bean crop. Thanks to her diligence, Lauren planted half an acre of land, with 15 varieties of vegetables in 2022, harvesting and weighing her first crops, with a first batch of 18kilograms. In 2023, Lauren doubled the size of her garden to an acre. Discussing her plans, The Washington Post reveals that Lauren would like to grow another 5,897 kilograms of produce, thus bringing her vegetables to 9,072 kilograms when it’s time for her to go to college in 2025. In an interview with a local media channel, Lauren says, “I wanted to have something that would impact people. I want to impact community members. Many people help you out, but it makes more difference when you help others out. That’s what makes me most happy.” 1．Why did Lauren Schroeder decide to start a garden on her family farm? (no more than 15 words) 2．What does the underlined word “misgivings” mean? (no more than 2 words) 3．How did Lauren Schroeder carry out her plan? (no more than 20 words) 4．What makes Lauren happy according to the passage? (no more than 10 words) 5．What do you think of Lauren? Please give your reason. (no more than 20 words) 【答案】1．Because she wanted to bring fresh vegetables to needy families in her community. /To supply local families in need with fresh produce. 1．Doubts/Worries. 2．She researched online, watered crops daily, checked for weeds and picked crops. 3．That she can make a difference when helping others out. /Making a difference when she helps others out. /Impacting community members. 1．She is caring and diligent because she helps others and works hard on the garden. 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了17岁的Lauren Schroeder受志愿活动启发，决定在自家农场开辟菜园，为社区贫困家庭提供新鲜蔬菜。她克服困难，通过自学和辛勤劳动，成功种植出多种蔬菜，并计划在未来扩大规模，继续为社区做出贡献。 1．考查细节理解。根据第一段中“Volunteering at a food shelter when she was 14, and tasked with helping fill boxes for households in need with canned and packaged food, this Iowa teen felt that something was missing from the donated groceries: fresh vegetables. She shared with her parents her desire to start a garden on part of their family farm in Dixon, Iowa, to supply local families in need with fresh produce. (14岁时，她在一家食物收容所做志愿者，负责为有需要的家庭用罐头和包装食品装满盒子，这位爱荷华州的青少年觉得捐赠的食品中缺少了一些东西：新鲜蔬菜。她告诉父母，她想在爱荷华州迪克森自家农场的一部分土地上开辟一个菜园，为当地有需要的家庭提供新鲜农产品。)”可知，Lauren Schroeder决定在自家农场开辟菜园是因为她想为社区中有需要的家庭提供新鲜蔬菜。故答案为Because she wanted to bring fresh vegetables to needy families in her community./To supply local families in need with fresh produce. 2．考查词句猜测。根据第三段中“Initially, while proud of her daughter’s vision, her mother, Katie Shroeder, admitted having some misgivings about the work involved: “I was wondering, ‘Oh my gosh, how much work is this going to be? ‘ I wasn’t sure whether this would work.” (起初，虽然为女儿的远见感到骄傲，但她的母亲凯蒂·施罗德承认，她对这项工作有一些misgivings：“我在想，‘天哪，这得做多少工作啊？’我不确定这是否可行。”)”可知，母亲对女儿的计划有所担忧，不确定是否能成功。因此，misgivings的意思是“疑虑，担忧”。故答案为Doubts/Worries. 3．考查细节理解。根据第四段“Lauren researched plants online, checking which species needed more shade, how much water was required, and when to harvest each crop. And during Iowa’s hot summers, she had to water her crops by hand for around 2-3 hours daily. She also checked daily for weeds, and bent down to pick her green bean crop. (劳伦在网上研究植物，查看哪些物种需要更多的阴凉，需要多少水，以及何时收获每种作物。在爱荷华州炎热的夏天，她每天要花2到3个小时亲手给庄稼浇水。她还每天检查杂草，弯腰采摘青豆。)”可知，Lauren通过在线研究植物、每天浇水、检查杂草和采摘作物来执行她的计划。故答案为She researched online, watered crops daily, checked for weeds and picked crops. 4．考查细节理解。根据最后一段“In an interview with a local media channel, Lauren says, “I wanted to have something that would impact people.

That’s what makes me most happy.”  (在接受当地媒体采访时，劳伦说：“我想有一些能影响人们的东西。我想影响社区成员。很多人会帮助你，但当你帮助别人时，会产生更大的影响。这让我最开心。”)”可知，让Lauren最开心的是她能够帮助别人并产生影响。故答案为That she can make a difference when helping others out./Making a difference when she helps others out./Impacting community members. 5．考查推理判断。本题是开放性试题。根据文章内容可知，Lauren Schroeder是一个关心他人且勤奋努力的人，她通过自己的行动为社区贫困家庭提供帮助，并克服困难实现了自己的目标。故答案为She is caring and diligent because she helps others and works hard on the garden. Passage 1 （24-25高一下·天津·期末）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Fatema’s love for volleyball started when she was nine years old in Iran because of encouragement from her uncle. Fatema didn’t have anywhere to play volleyball when she arrived in Australia, so she worked with community leaders to set up after-school matches in the local area. The community volleyball matches continued for three months and allowed Fatema to show her qualities as a skillful team player and leader among her peers. Fatema believes that she needs to play in a professional club. However, as training sessions and matches are often in the evenings, the timing is not convenient for her because she can’t use public transport at that time. The club registration cost is also a problem. Fatema is a thoughtful girl and doesn’t want to put a financial strain on her family, so she continues to look for after-school work to earn money that could help cover the club registration costs and other expenses. While she hasn’t joined a volleyball club yet, Fatema has joined the Dandenong Women’s Sports Hub for volleyball sessions run by the Centre for Multicultural Youth after school. Moslih, the coach, is inspired by her positive attitude towards various challenges since Fatema arrived in Australia. Moslih said,“I have seen Fatema in every volleyball class we’ve had! Fatema has proven to me how determined she is to realize her dream of playing volleyball, and it just makes me want to support her in every way that I can. I have not only seen her progress in her skills, but also her confidence and hard work. She is always the first to show up and the last to leave.” Fatema is a multi-talented young person. She can play the guitar skillfully. She is studying at high school and is aiming to become a police officer in the future. But her current goal is to earn some money through an after-school job to financially support her participation in the volleyball club. 1．Why did Fatema hold volleyball matches with community leaders?(no more than 15 words) 2．What does the underlined word“ strain” in paragraph 2 mean?(1 word) 3．What does Moslih think of Fatema?(no more than 10 words) 4．What is Fatema’s target at present?(no more than 10 words) 5．How does Fatema’s story influence you after reading the passage? Please explain.(no more than 25 words) 【答案】1．Because she could not find a place to play volleyball after arriving in Australia. 或者 Because Fatema didn’t have anywhere to play volleyball when she arrived in Australia 1．Pressure./Stress./Tension. 2．She is a strong-willed/determined, confident and hard-working/diligent girl. 或者She is strong-willed/determined, confident, hard-working//diligent. 1．To find a part-time job to afford volleyball club costs. 或者To work after school to earn volleyball club fees. 2．We learn that when facing difficulties, we should be optimistic and stick to our dreams in all possible ways. 或者 Hard work and dedication can help overcome challenges and achieve our dreams, which inspires me a lot. 或者 Her determination to pursue dreams despite hardships inspires us to never give up. 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Fatema 自幼热爱排球，到澳大利亚后因无处打球与社区合办比赛。虽因时间、费用未加入职业俱乐部，但积极参训，教练赞其坚定努力，她现想打工赚钱圆梦的故事。 1．考查细节理解。根据第一段中“Fatema didn’t have anywhere to play volleyball when she arrived in Australia, so she worked with community leaders to set up after-school matches in the local area.( Fatema刚到澳大利亚的时候没有地方打排球，所以她和社区领导一起在当地组织了课后比赛。)”可知，Fatema和社区领导举办排球比赛是因为她没有地方打排球。故答案是：Because she could not find a place to play volleyball after arriving in Australia.或者 Because Fatema didn’t have anywhere to play volleyball when she arrived in Australia 2．考查词义猜测。根据划线单词句中“Fatema is a thoughtful girl and doesn’t want to put a financial …on her family, so she continues to look for after-school work to earn money that could help cover the club registration costs and other expenses.( Fatema是一个体贴的女孩，她不想给家庭带来经济……，所以她继续寻找课后工作来赚钱，以帮助支付俱乐部的注册费和其他费用。)” 可知，这里说她不想给家庭带来经济方面的“strain”，结合语境，她去做兼职赚钱，可知“strain”是“压力”的意思，即“pressure”。故答案是：Pressure./Stress./Tension. 3．考查推理判断。根据第四段中“Fatema has proven to me how determined she is to realize her dream of playing volleyball, and it just makes me want to support her in every way that I can. I have not only seen her progress in her skills, but also her confidence and hard work. She is always the first to show up and the last to leave.”(Fatema向我证明了她实现排球梦想的决心，这让我想要尽我所能支持她。我不仅看到了她在技能上的进步，也看到了她的自信和努力。她总是第一个来，最后一个走。”)”可推知，从这些描述可以看出 Moslih 认为她有决心且努力。故答案是：She is a strong-willed/determined, confident and hard-working/diligent girl.或者She is strong-willed/determined, confident, hard-working/diligent. 4．考查细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But her current goal is to earn some money through an after-school job to financially support her participation in the volleyball club.( 但她目前的目标是通过课后工作赚一些钱，以资助她参加排球俱乐部。)”可知，Fatema目前的目标是为参加排球俱乐部赚钱。故答案是：To find a part-time job to afford volleyball club costs.或者To work after school to earn volleyball club fees. 5．考查开放性试题。根据文章大意以及题干中的问题“读完这篇文章后，Fatem的故事对你有什么影响？”可知，读完这篇文章后，Fatem对我的影响是：我们知道，在面对困难时，我们应该保持乐观，并想尽一切可能坚守自己的梦想。或者：努力和奉献可以帮助克服挑战，实现我们的梦想，这激励了我很多。或者：她不顾困难追求梦想的决心激励着我们永不放弃。故答案是：We learn that when facing difficulties, we should be optimistic and stick to our dreams in all possible ways.或者Hard work and dedication can help overcome challenges and achieve our dreams, which inspires me a lot. 或者Her determination to pursue dreams despite hardships inspires us to never give up. Passage 2 （24-25高一下·天津·期末）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Mother Teresa has influenced many people in the world. Pankaj Shah is one of them. He helped many people in Nairobi, Kenya, to get enough food during the coronavirus pandemic (新冠大流行). Pankaj Shah met Mother Teresa after her pickup truck hit his car when he was just a young, wild businessman finding his way in life 30 years ago. The two became friends, and then he volunteered with her for three months. Mother Teresa has passed away, but her mission to help the poor lives on in Pankaj and countless others. When the coronavirus pandemic hit Africa, Pankaj stopped his business at his company and turned his attention to those around him. “I think about what she would do,” he explained. “That’s the inspiration for the rest of my life.” So Pankaj brought his friends together and transformed a school into a center for handing out supplies. Then he began asking the nation’s wealthiest people and private businesses for donations. With schools and businesses closed and no work for the young people who support their families, many Kenyans have stayed inside without enough food. Kenya’s large Asian community also stepped up to help, bringing in loads of vegetables and other produce before the outbreak began. Under Pankaj’s leadership, volunteers formed Team Pankaj and began putting hampers (餐篮) together that are designed to feed families in need for up to five weeks. “One old woman told us she hadn’t eaten for days,” Pankaj said. “People were getting hungry and angry.” After just three weeks, they were able to send out more than 24,000 food hampers! Mother Teresa once said, “If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.” Her lifelong mission was to serve the poor through acts of kindness and generosity. Pankaj and his army of volunteers have taken her philanthropy a step further. 1．When did Pankaj Shah meet Mother Teresa? (no more than 10 words) 2．Why did Pankaj Shah stop his business when the coronavirus pandemic hit Africa? (no more than 10 words) 3．How did Team Pankaj help families in need of food? (no more than 10 words) 4．What does the underlined word “philanthropy” in the last paragraph mean? (1 word) 5．What do you think of Pankaj Shah?

Passage 3 （24-25高一下·天津河北·期末）阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route through thick evergreen forest. I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for a ten-year-old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run. What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event! I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.” I bit back my frustration(懊恼,沮丧). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his eyes suddenly bright with determination. “I want to run,” he declared, straightening his small shoulders. His body rocked from side to side as he swung his feet forward. David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination. David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. The race started. The route seemed long, especially for a child with a brain disease. David insisted on running as if he had forgotten all his weaknesses. He tripped within the first few kilometers but quickly picked himself up and continued. Classmates cheered, “Come on! You can make it! We’re proud of you!” To everyone’s joy, he reached the finish line and ranked 20th. It wasn’t important whether he won first place. It was his brave heart and strong faith that made something unusual happen. 1．Why was David standing alone by the fence? (no more than 10 words) 2．What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 2? (no more than 5 words) 3．How did David’s classmates view him at school? (no more than 10 words) 4．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? (no more than 10 words) 5．How does David’s story inspire you? Please explain in your own words. (no more than 20 words) 【答案】1．Because he hesitated and then decided not to run. 2． Stopped myself from showing frustration. Held back my annoyance. 3．They viewed him as a normal kid. 4．David running bravely despite falling, encouraged by classmates. 5．I need to have a strong faith to face the challenges of life.(本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一，仅供参考) 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者是特殊教育教师，在大型越野赛跑那天，发现患有大脑疾病的大卫独自站在一旁。大卫说准备放弃比赛，但作者让大卫不理会别人的看法。大卫最终参寒并战胜了自己。 1．考查细节理解。根据首段中的“I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for a ten-year-old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.(我环顾四周，终于看到大卫独自一人站在一旁的栅栏边。他十岁了，个头却偏小。他那标志性的大大的咧嘴笑今天不见了。我走过去问他为什么没和其他孩子在一起。他犹豫了一下，然后说他决定不跑了)可知，大卫独自一人站在一旁的栅栏边是因为他犹豫而且决定不跑了。故填Because he hesitated and then decided not to run. 2．考查词义猜测。根据第二段画线句后面的“I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing.(我知道教练是出于好意——他以为自己在做正确的事)”可知，作者理解教练的做法。由此猜测听完教练的话后，他克制住自己懊恼的情绪。画线部分bit back my frustration表示“克制我沮丧/懊恼的情绪”。故填Stopped myself from showing frustration./Held back my annoyance. 3．考查细节理解。根据第三段首句“David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid.(大卫患有脑部疾病，这使得他无法像其他孩子那样行走或奔跑，但在学校里，他的同学们却把他当作一个正常的孩子看待)”可知，在学校里大卫的同学把他看成正常孩子。故填They viewed him as a normal kid. 4．考查主旨大意。根据本段“David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. The race started. The route seemed long, especially for a child with a brain disease. David insisted on running as if he had forgotten all his weaknesses. He tripped within the first few kilometers but quickly picked himself up and continued. Classmates cheered, “Come on! You can make it! We’re proud of you!”(大卫和其他选手一起来到了起跑线处。比赛开始了。赛道看起来很长，尤其是对于一个患有脑部疾病的儿童来说。大卫坚持着奔跑，仿佛已经忘记了自身的所有弱点。他在最初的几公里内就绊了一跤，但很快又站了起来继续前行。同学们欢呼道：“加油！你能做到的！我们为你感到骄傲！”)”可知，本段讲述了尽管大卫摔倒了，在同学们的鼓励下他勇敢地奔跑。故填David running bravely despite falling, encouraged by classmates. 5．考查推理判断。本题是开放性试题，根据末段中的“It wasn’t important whether he won first place. It was his brave heart and strong faith that made something unusual happen.(他是否获得第一名并不重要。真正起作用的是他那勇敢的心和坚定的信念，正是这些才使得一些不寻常的事情发生了)”可推断，大卫的故事激励我要有坚定的信念来面对生活的挑战。故填I need to have a strong faith to face the challenges of life. Passage 4 （24-25高一下·天津滨海新·期末）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 It was a few years ago. A friend had sent me a restaurant gift card for Christmas and I picked a pretty, sunny Sunday afternoon to use it. It felt good taking my two grown sons and daughter to a nice sit-down restaurant instead of the fast-food places we usually ate at. The meal was delicious and we all had a good time. When the waitress brought the check, I looked down at it. The gift card covered almost all of it. I reached into my wallet to get enough cash to cover the rest. I saw two bills in the front of it. The first would cover the rest of the bill and give the waitress a nice tip. The second bill was much larger so I reached down to pick out the first one. At that moment my mind flashed back to 30 years ago. I was working as a helper in a restaurant much like the one. It was long hours of hard work for low pay. I went home just barely making enough to feed my young family. I also remembered how more than once I saw the waitress counting their meager tips while worrying about how they were going to pay the rent and other things. I remembered the pain and sadness in their eyes at the end of the day. I blinked and was back in the present again. My fingers touched the smaller bill in my wallet. I smiled, pushed it back down and picked out the much larger bill. I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them with the check. As we all got up from the table, I handed them to the hard-working waitress. “You keep the change,” I said with a smile and a happy heart. We are all one family in this world. We live together, laugh together and suffer together. Do your best to be a good person and love others. Replace the suffering with joy. 1．Why did the author initially want to use the first bill to pay? (no more than 15words) 2．How do you understand the underlined word in Paragraph 2? (no more than 3words) 3．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? (no more than 8 words) 4．What kind of person is the author? (no more than 5 words) 5．What was the last time you did a good deed? Please explain it in your own words. (no more than 20 words) 【答案】1．Because the first one would cover the rest of the bill and the waitress’s tip./Because the second one was too large for the food and the tip. 2．Not much./Very small./Small./Very little./Little./Tiny. 3．The author’s final decision about giving tips./How the author tipped the waitress at last. 4．He was sympathetic/compassionate/kind/caring/loving. 5．My classmate was ill and missed class last week, so I lent her my notes for her to catch up./I found a cat in the neighborhood last weekend, so I gave it some food and water. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位父亲在餐厅结账时，回忆起自己年轻时做服务员的艰辛经历，最终决定给予女服务员慷慨小费的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“The first would cover the rest of the bill and give the waitress a nice tip. The second bill was much larger so I reached down to pick out the first one. (第一张钞票可以支付剩余的账单，还能给服务员一笔不错的小费。第二张钞票金额要大得多，所以我弯腰选择了第一张)”可知，作者起初想选择第一张钞票，是因为第一笔钱可以支付剩下的账单和服务员的小费，或者是因为对于食物和小费来说，第二张太大了。故答案为：Because the first one would cover the rest of the bill and the waitress’s tip./Because the second one was too large for the food and the tip. 2．词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“while worrying about how they were going to pay the rent and other things (一边发愁着该如何支付房租和其他开销)”可知，这笔小费不足以帮助女服务员们支付房租和其他开销，因此画线词意为“不多的”或“很少的”。故答案为：Not much./Very small./Small./Very little./Little./Tiny. 3．主旨大意题。根据第三段中“My fingers touched the smaller bill in my wallet. I smiled, pushed it back down and picked out the much larger bill. I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them with the check. As we all got up from the table, I handed them to the hard-working waitress. “You keep the change,” I said with a smile and a happy heart. (指尖触到钱包里那张面额较小的钞票时，我微笑着把它推回去，转而抽出了那张金额大得多的纸币。我将它和礼品卡叠在一起，用账单仔细盖住。当我们起身离席时，我把这些递给那位勤恳的女服务员。“不用找零了，”我笑着说道，心里涌动着暖意)”可知，本段主要叙述了作者关于给小费的最终决定，或作者最后是如何给女服务员小费的。故答案为：The author’s final decision about giving tips./How the author tipped the waitress at last. 4．推理判断题。根据第二段中“I remembered the pain and sadness in their eyes at the end of the day. (我记得那天结束时他们眼中的痛苦和悲伤)”和第三段中“As we all got up from the table, I handed them to the hard-working waitress. “You keep the change,” I said with a smile and a happy heart. (当我们起身离席时，我把这些递给那位勤恳的女服务员。“不用找零了，”我笑着说道，心里涌动着暖意)”可知，作者对过去女服务员的遭遇充满理解，最终决定给予女服务员慷慨小费，这表明他富有同情心，或很善良，或很有爱心。故答案为：He was sympathetic/compassionate/kind/caring/loving. 5．开放性试题。本题结合个人生活实际经历言之，有理即可。例如，“我”的同学上周病了，没去上课，所以“我”把我的笔记借给她，让她补上功课。/上周末“我”在附近发现了一只猫，所以“我”给了它一些食物和水。故答案为：My classmate was ill and missed class last week, so I lent her my notes for her to catch up./I found a cat in the neighborhood last weekend, so I gave it some food and water. Passage 5 （24-25高一下·天津和平·期末）阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 People suffering from depression (抑郁) or anxiety may make themselves healthy again by doing nice things for others, new research shows. The study divided 122 people from central Ohio who had depression, anxiety or stress into three groups. The first two groups were asked to follow methods often used in cognitive behavioral therapy (认知行为疗法) (CBT) for depression: planning social activities or cognitive reappraisal (重新评价). The social activities group was instructed to plan social activities for two days a week. Another group was instructed to write a diary for at least two days each week that helped them recognize their negative ways of viewing stressful situations and change their views in a way that could reduce depression and anxiety. Members of the third group were instructed to perform three acts of kindness — big or small acts that benefit others or make others happy — a day, for two days out of the week. Research volunteers followed their instructions for five weeks, after which their mental states were recorded. The researchers then checked with the volunteers after another five weeks to see if the methods were still effective. The findings, published in the Journal of Positive Psychology, showed that people in all three groups showed an increase in life satisfaction and a reduction of depression and anxiety levels after the study. “Compared with social activities and cognitive reappraisal, acts of kindness make people feel more connected to other people,” said David Cregg, who led the study at the Ohio State University. “Social connection is one of the parts of life most strongly linked with well-being or happiness. Performing acts of kindness seems to be one of the best ways to create those connections.” The research also showed why performing act s of kindness worked so well: It helped people take their minds off what causes their own depression or anxiety. This finding suggests that one view many people have about people with depression may be wrong. “We often think that people with depression have enough to deal with, so we don’t want to burden them by asking them to help others. But these results run counter to that,” Cregg said. 1．What did the social activities group do in the study? (no more than 10 words) 2．What did the researchers find after ten weeks? (no more than 15 words) 3．Why did performing acts of kindness work so well? (no more than 15 words) 4．What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean? (no more than 5 words) 5．Of the three methods of reducing depression in the text, which one do you prefer? Please explain. (no more than 20 words). 【答案】1．They planned social activities for two days a week. 2．People in all three groups felt better. Or: Their methods worked effectively on three groups. 3．Because it helped people take their minds off what causes their won depression or anxiety. 4．Are the opposite of. 5．I prefer to perform acts of kindness. It is an easy way to connect with others and make everyone smile. Or: I prefer cognitive reappraisal. Because it makes me calm down and rethink the bad situation from a different perspective. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项新研究表明，患有抑郁或焦虑的人可以通过为他人做好事来恢复健康，并详细说明了研究的分组、过程、结果及意义。 1．考查细节理解。根据第三段中“The social activities group was instructed to plan social activities for two days a week. (社交活动组被要求每周安排两天的社交活动。)”可知，社交活动组在研究中每周安排两天的社交活动。故答案为They planned social activities for two days a week. 2．考查细节理解。根据第四段中“The findings, published in the Journal of Positive Psychology, showed that people in all three groups showed an increase in life satisfaction and a reduction of depression and anxiety levels after the study. (研究结果发表在《积极心理学杂志》上，显示三组受试者在研究结束后生活满意度均有所提高，抑郁和焦虑水平有所降低。)”可知，十周后研究人员发现三组受试者的生活满意度均有所提高，抑郁和焦虑水平有所降低，即三组受试者的情况均有所改善或三种方法均有效。故答案为People in all three groups felt better. Or: Their methods worked effectively on three groups. 3．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中“The research also showed why performing acts of kindness worked so well: It helped people take their minds off what causes their own depression or anxiety. (研究还揭示了为什么行善效果如此之好：它帮助人们转移注意力，不再纠结于导致自身抑郁或焦虑的原因。)”可知，行善效果如此之好的原因是它帮助人们转移注意力，不再纠结于导致自身抑郁或焦虑的原因。故答案为Because it helped people take their minds off what causes their own depression or anxiety. 4．考查词句猜测。根据最后一段中划线词所在句“We often think that people with depression have enough to deal with, so we don’t want to burden them by asking them to help others. But these results run counter to that (我们常常认为抑郁症患者已经承受了太多，所以不想让他们再通过帮助他人来增加负担。但这些结果却与此run counter to)”可知，我们原本认为不应该让抑郁症患者帮助他人，但研究结果却表明这样做是有益的，即与我们的想法相反，所以“run counter to”意为“与……相反”。故答案为Are the opposite of. 5．考查开放题。本题为开放题，言之有理即可。 示例一：根据倒数第三段中David Cregg 所说的“Compared with social activities and cognitive reappraisal, acts of kindness make people feel more connected to other people (与社交活动和认知重新评价相比，善意行为让人们感觉与他人的联系更紧密）”可知，我更喜欢行善，因为这是一种与他人建立联系的简单方式，能让每个人都微笑。故答案为I prefer to perform acts of kindness. It is an easy way to connect with others and make everyone smile. 示例二：根据第三段中“Another group was instructed to write a diary for at least two days each week that helped them recognize their negative ways of viewing stressful situations and change their views in a way that could reduce depression and anxiety. (另一组被要求每周至少写两天日记，帮助他们认识到自己看待压力情境的消极方式，并以一种能够减少抑郁和焦虑的方式改变自己的观点。)”可知，我更喜欢认知重新评价，因为它能让我冷静下来，从不同的角度重新思考糟糕的情况。故答案为I prefer cognitive reappraisal. Because it makes me calm down and rethink the bad situation from a different perspective. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题08 阅读表达 Passage 1 （24-25高一下·天津和平·期末）阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 The students of Carlton Primary School are treated to an after-school program once a week to learn how to keep healthy and get along with the community through playing sports. Louise Larcombe was studying for a Master’s in Public Health at the University of Melbourne when she started looking for a way to help out the local community. She decided to join the Heart of Carlton program run by Sports Without Borders in 2019. She is now in her third year of volunteering for the program. The program is designed to get school kids to connect with their local community through sports. It addresses a different theme each week for the children to learn about and discuss, such as a healthy diet, good sportsmanship, and teamwork. Larcombe said it can be quite a challenge for her because a classroom-of kids can be pretty wild after class, and they want to go play soccer instead of listening to her. Larcombe found it easy to get involved because sports naturally attracted her and she wanted to understand the effects of sports on a community directly. “Sport is a cool platform for improving health. People get the physical activity and it brings them together. It’s a good platform for health messaging,” she said. Larcombe believes the Heart of Carlton program is a great stepping stone for people to connect with the community. Sports Without Borders has a good support network, where teachers are involved from the get-go, and parents often lend their support. Meanwhile, it is also assisted by the R. E. Ross Trust and the Telco Together Foundation, helping primary school kids learn through sports. 1．What did Larcombe do as her mission in volunteering for the Heart of Carlton program in 2019? (no more than 12 words) 2．What bothered Larcombe in her volunteer work for the program? (no more than 12 words) 3．What is the role of sports in communities in Larcombe’s view?

While everyone in town said it was too dangerous, Sam remained determined. One clear morning, Sam put on his boots, packed a small bag with water, an apple, and his favorite cap. He told his dog, Buddy, “Today’s the day we make history, Buddy!” The climb began smoothly. Sam and Buddy followed a narrow road lined with wildflowers. But the weather quickly changed. Dark clouds rolled in, and a sharp wind began to blow. Sam thought about turning back but held onto his dream. “We can do this,” he said, encouraging Buddy as they pushed forward. As they climbed higher, the path disappeared. Sam faced a tough choice: take the rocky route or move through the thick woods. He chose the rocks, thinking it would be faster. Halfway up, he slipped and hurt his left foot. The pain was sharp, but Sam refused to give up. He rested for a moment, ate his apple, and shared pieces with Buddy. “We’re in this together,” he said with determination. The sky cleared as they reached the final part of the climb. It was beautiful. Sam forgot his pain, driven by the beauty around him. With Buddy’s help, pulling on Sam’s shirt, they finally reached the top. The sight was beyond words. He could see his town, the river, and beyond. “We did it, Buddy!” he shouted, his voice full of joy. Sam realized the climb was about more than reaching the top. It was about bravery, making tough choices, and never giving up, no matter what. He and Buddy made their way down, slower this time but full of stories to tell. When they returned, Sam’s story of courage inspired the whole town.

The shark came right up under him and sank its teeth into his lower leg. As Mike struggled to free himself. the shark bit harder, shaking him violently. Mike followed his instinct: he punched (拳打) the shark in the face, again and again (which happens to be what the experts recommend) until the shark released him. Swimming to shore, Mike noticed his lower right leg was gone. His friends quickly applied a tourniquet (止血带) using his board leash (皮带), which doctors later said likely saved his life. It was another day before the“fog” lifted, at which point Mike opened his eyes and realized he was in hospital - a below-the-knee amputee (被截肢者). For the next few weeks while resting in bed, Mike spent time with his family, researched prosthetics (义肢) and considered the future. Once Mike was given the OK by his doctors, he did what many might consider unthinkable: He started riding the waves again. In fact, his first time back was near the site of his attack. But Mike was unshaken. Instead he was curious — why was he attacked? He remembered a fish y smell in the water that morning. Was that what attracted the shark? Mike’s curiosity led him to research sharks, and while he never figured out why he became a target, Mike did learn something that would change his life.·“Humans are far more dangerous to sharks than the other way around,” said Mike.“I watched a documentary called Sharkwater, and I learned about the demand for shark fin soup and the fact that 70 million sharks a. year are killed for their fins alone.” His unique situation as a shark survivor enabled him to give sharks a voice. He began working with the Hawaii state legislature (立法机构) to help pass a ban on shark-derived (鲨鱼衍生的) products. He partnered with other like-minded shark attack survivors and marine biologists, and they headed to Washington to urge senators to create a nationwide bill protecting sharks. He was also selected to speak to the United Nations about the importance of shark sanctuaries (保护区). 1．How did Mike manage to get rid of the shark? (no more than 10 words) 2．Why did Mike return to the site where he had been attacked originally? (no more than 10 words) 3．What shocking fact did Mike learn about sharks?

Volunteering at a food shelter when she was 14, and tasked with helping fill boxes for households in need with canned and packaged food, this Iowa teen felt that something was missing from the donated groceries: fresh vegetables. She shared with her parents her desire to start a garden on part of their family farm in Dixon, Iowa, to supply local families in need with fresh produce. Coming from a farming family, Lauren had some familiarity with agriculture, and had helped raise rabbits and lambs, but had never tried vegetable cultivation at scale, though the Schroeders plant soybeans and corn each year on their 150-acre farm. The work involved in realizing Lauren’s plan was no walk in the park. Initially, while proud of her daughter’s vision, her mother, Katie Shroeder, admitted having some misgivings about the work involved: “I was wondering, ‘Oh my gosh, how much work is this going to be? ‘ I wasn’t sure whether this would work.” This was one young change-maker, however! Lauren researched plants online, checking which species needed more shade, how much water was required, and when to harvest each crop. And during Iowa’s hot summers, she had to water her crops by hand for around 2-3 hours daily. She also checked daily for weeds, and bent down to pick her green bean crop. Thanks to her diligence, Lauren planted half an acre of land, with 15 varieties of vegetables in 2022, harvesting and weighing her first crops, with a first batch of 18kilograms. In 2023, Lauren doubled the size of her garden to an acre. Discussing her plans, The Washington Post reveals that Lauren would like to grow another 5,897 kilograms of produce, thus bringing her vegetables to 9,072 kilograms when it’s time for her to go to college in 2025. In an interview with a local media channel, Lauren says, “I wanted to have something that would impact people. I want to impact community members. Many people help you out, but it makes more difference when you help others out. That’s what makes me most happy.” 1．Why did Lauren Schroeder decide to start a garden on her family farm?

Fatema didn’t have anywhere to play volleyball when she arrived in Australia, so she worked with community leaders to set up after-school matches in the local area. The community volleyball matches continued for three months and allowed Fatema to show her qualities as a skillful team player and leader among her peers. Fatema believes that she needs to play in a professional club. However, as training sessions and matches are often in the evenings, the timing is not convenient for her because she can’t use public transport at that time.

He helped many people in Nairobi, Kenya, to get enough food during the coronavirus pandemic (新冠大流行). Pankaj Shah met Mother Teresa after her pickup truck hit his car when he was just a young, wild businessman finding his way in life 30 years ago. The two became friends, and then he volunteered with her for three months. Mother Teresa has passed away, but her mission to help the poor lives on in Pankaj and countless others. When the coronavirus pandemic hit Africa, Pankaj stopped his business at his company and turned his attention to those around him. “I think about what she would do,” he explained. “That’s the inspiration for the rest of my life.” So Pankaj brought his friends together and transformed a school into a center for handing out supplies. Then he began asking the nation’s wealthiest people and private businesses for donations. With schools and businesses closed and no work for the young people who support their families, many Kenyans have stayed inside without enough food. Kenya’s large Asian community also stepped up to help, bringing in loads of vegetables and other produce before the outbreak began. Under Pankaj’s leadership, volunteers formed Team Pankaj and began putting hampers (餐篮) together that are designed to feed families in need for up to five weeks. “One old woman told us she hadn’t eaten for days,” Pankaj said. “People were getting hungry and angry.” After just three weeks, they were able to send out more than 24,000 food hampers!

Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route through thick evergreen forest. I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for a ten-year-old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run. What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event! I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.” I bit back my frustration(懊恼,沮丧). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his eyes suddenly bright with determination. “I want to run,” he declared, straightening his small shoulders. His body rocked from side to side as he swung his feet forward. David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination. David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. The race started. The route seemed long, especially for a child with a brain disease. David insisted on running as if he had forgotten all his weaknesses. He tripped within the first few kilometers but quickly picked himself up and continued. Classmates cheered, “Come on! You can make it! We’re proud of you!” To everyone’s joy, he reached the finish line and ranked 20th. It wasn’t important whether he won first place. It was his brave heart and strong faith that made something unusual happen. 1．Why was David standing alone by the fence? (no more than 10 words) 2．What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 2? (no more than 5 words) 3．How did David’s classmates view him at school? (no more than 10 words) 4．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

A friend had sent me a restaurant gift card for Christmas and I picked a pretty, sunny Sunday afternoon to use it. It felt good taking my two grown sons and daughter to a nice sit-down restaurant instead of the fast-food places we usually ate at. The meal was delicious and we all had a good time. When the waitress brought the check, I looked down at it. The gift card covered almost all of it. I reached into my wallet to get enough cash to cover the rest. I saw two bills in the front of it. The first would cover the rest of the bill and give the waitress a nice tip. The second bill was much larger so I reached down to pick out the first one. At that moment my mind flashed back to 30 years ago. I was working as a helper in a restaurant much like the one. It was long hours of hard work for low pay. I went home just barely making enough to feed my young family. I also remembered how more than once I saw the waitress counting their meager tips while worrying about how they were going to pay the rent and other things. I remembered the pain and sadness in their eyes at the end of the day. I blinked and was back in the present again. My fingers touched the smaller bill in my wallet. I smiled, pushed it back down and picked out the much larger bill. I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them with the check. As we all got up from the table, I handed them to the hard-working waitress. “You keep the change,” I said with a smile and a happy heart. We are all one family in this world. We live together, laugh together and suffer together. Do your best to be a good person and love others. Replace the suffering with joy. 1．Why did the author initially want to use the first bill to pay? (no more than 15words) 2．How do you understand the underlined word in Paragraph 2?

The study divided 122 people from central Ohio who had depression, anxiety or stress into three groups. The first two groups were asked to follow methods often used in cognitive behavioral therapy (认知行为疗法) (CBT) for depression: planning social activities or cognitive reappraisal (重新评价). The social activities group was instructed to plan social activities for two days a week. Another group was instructed to write a diary for at least two days each week that helped them recognize their negative ways of viewing stressful situations and change their views in a way that could reduce depression and anxiety. Members of the third group were instructed to perform three acts of kindness — big or small acts that benefit others or make others happy — a day, for two days out of the week. Research volunteers followed their instructions for five weeks, after which their mental states were recorded. The researchers then checked with the volunteers after another five weeks to see if the methods were still effective. The findings, published in the Journal of Positive Psychology, showed that people in all three groups showed an increase in life satisfaction and a reduction of depression and anxiety levels after the study. “Compared with social activities and cognitive reappraisal, acts of kindness make people feel more connected to other people,” said David Cregg, who led the study at the Ohio State University. “Social connection is one of the parts of life most strongly linked with well-being or happiness. Performing acts of kindness seems to be one of the best ways to create those connections.” The research also showed why performing act s of kindness worked so well: It helped people take their minds off what causes their own depression or anxiety. This finding suggests that one view many people have about people with depression may be wrong. “We often think that people with depression have enough to deal with, so we don’t want to burden them by asking them to help others. But these results run counter to that,” Cregg said. 1．What did the social activities group do in the study? (no more than 10 words) 2．What did the researchers find after ten weeks? (no more than 15 words) 3．Why did performing acts of kindness work so well? (no more than 15 words) 4．What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean? (no more than 5 words) 5．Of the three methods of reducing depression in the text, which one do you prefer? Please explain. (no more than 20 words). / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
