Two years ago, when I was making summer plans, at first I chose Plan A—working at an animal hospital or a place that trains animals to work with the disabled. But unluckily, people needed to be at least sixteen to do such work, and I wasn’t old enough. So I chose Plan B—volunteering at an animal shelter (收容所) in my city.
Working at an animal shelter wasn’t what I expected. I couldn’t wear my favorite T-shirt when training the dogs because the dogs liked giving me big kisses (吻). I couldn’t wear new shoes either when feeding the cats. When the cats disliked some food, they would spit (吐) it out and make my shoes dirty. However, it was still an interesting experience. Although there were many hard jobs, I had great fun playing with the animals. I loved walking around and deciding which dog I should take to the training room.
I spent all summer volunteering, and Plan B is probably the best decision I have ever made. Many people don’t realize that they don’t need to work at the shelter to give assistance. Shelters are often short of necessary things, so collecting money and helping out at the front desk can also be of great help!
4. What kind of writing is the passage?
A. A joke. B. A letter. C. A story.
5. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The experience the writer got there. B. The advice the writer got. C. The reasons why the writer worked there.
6. How did the writer feel about working at the shelter later?
A. Easy. B. Comfortable. C. Fun.
7. What does the underlined word “assistance” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Advice. B. Change. C. Help.
C
When Qi Hongbo, a respected member of a rescue (救援) team and a volunteer for public welfare (公益事业) died at the age of 47 on May 31, 2024, his family made an important decision to donate his body in order to help more people.
Qi, who worked as a truck driver in Zibo, Shandong, also served as a deputy (副职) leader of a rescue team in Zibo. Throughout his life, he had been doing things for the public.
In the eyes of his wife Chang Li, Qi always eagerly volunteered whenever there was a call for help. He spent almost all of his free time on voluntary service.
In August 2021, when a sudden flood hit Henan Province, Qi, together with his team members, rushed to Zhengzhou, the capital city of Henan Province, to help with rescuing people. Then again in December 2023 when a powerful earthquake hit Jishishan County in Gansu Province, he and his team took action to deal with the disaster at once.
According to Liu Dong, the leader of the rescue team, Qi kept his mobile phone on for 24 hours so that he could respond quickly whenever needed.
However, no one thought that Qi would lose his life in the volunteer service he loved. On the afternoon of May 24, Qi fainted (昏厥) while volunteering in Zibo. When he fell, he hit his head on a stone bench, leading to his death.
In the terrible sadness, his wife and son made a difficult but great decision to donate Qi’s liver, kidneys, corneas, and other organs (器官).
8. When was Qi Hongbo born?
A. In 1977. B. In 1978. C. In 1979.

China’s 13th scientific expedition (科学考察) to the Arctic Ocean reached the North Pole region (北极地区) on September 5, 2023. You may wonder: What’s the difference between doing research in the Arctic and Antarctica (南极)?
Research in the Arctic is more difficult than in Antarctica. Antarctica is mainly land. So scientists can establish research stations on the land. However, the Arctic is mainly an ocean. Scientists can only set up drifting stations or stations on boats in the Arctic. There are also other differences between the two poles.
▲
The Arctic is at the north end of Earth. Canada, Norway, Russia and five other countries have land there. Antarctica is at the south end of Earth. There are no countries there. People from all countries and regions can go there. They are both cold, but Antarctica is colder. The wind at the South Pole is very strong. It blows away the wind from warmer places. But the wind at the North Pole is not that strong. It mixes with the air from warmer places.
12. What can we know from Paragraph 1?
A. September is the perfect time for Arctic trips.
B. China had 12 such trips before the year 2023.
C. Thirteen scientists reached the North Pole area.
13. What does the underlined word “establish” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Set up. B. Give up. C. Come up.
14. Which sentence can be put in ▲ ?
A. One difference is about countries and land.
B. Many people enjoy living in warm places.
C. The ocean looks beautiful in summer.
15. How many countries have land in the Arctic area?
A. Five. B. Six. C. Eight.

Nature presents us with endless wonders, and the sky holds our dreams. Most people look up at the stars and feel surprised. But one person turned his dream into a lifelong goal for his motherland. He was Qian Xuesen.
