Last Saturday, my school organized a volunteer activity at a community center for the elderly. I was nervous because I didn’t know what to say, and I was afraid of making mistakes. When we arrived, the volunteers were asked to play chess or read newspapers with the elderly. I chose to read newspapers to an old man named Mr. Zhang. He could not see very well. At first, I read in a very low voice because I was shy. Mr. Zhang smiled and said, “Young man, your voice is so soft that I can hardly hear you. Just read as if you were reading to your grandfather.” His words made me feel warm. I took a deep breath and began to read again, more loudly and clearly. After I finished one piece of news, Mr. Zhang clapped his hands and said, “Good job! I haven’t felt so happy for a long time.” Seeing his big smile, I suddenly felt proud of myself. For the rest of the day, I chatted with him happily. He told me stories about his youth, and I shared my school life with him. When it was time to leave, Mr. Zhang held my hand and said, “Come again, please.” I promised him I would. On the way home, I kept thinking about how a small act of kindness could bring so much joy to others and myself. I realize that helping others is not a task — it is a gift. Now I am no longer afraid of talking with the elderly, and I have decided to be a regular volunteer at the center. 39. What volunteer work did Tina do? A. She worked in a dog hospital. B. She helped kids with reading. C. She went to a nursing home. 40. Why did Mr. Zhang ask Tina to read as if reading to her grandfather? A. Because Mr. Zhang couldn’t see clearly. B.

Tina would visit Mr. Zhang again. C. Tina would send Mr. Zhang a gift. 43. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Elderly people are in great need of care and love. B.

It may sound strange but this is because dust storms from the Sahara Desert travel thousands of kilometers. Climate change also causes this problem. More than half of the world’s dust comes from the Sahara. Under hot, dry and windy conditions, particles (颗粒) are lifted several kilometers into the air and moved across Europe. As the weather gets warmer, the soil (土壤) becomes drier. This makes it easier for the wind to carry dust away. If conditions get worse, the Saharan dust in the air could increase by 40 to 60 percent by the end of 2090. Saharan dust not only brings many problems to the sky of Europe, but also makes the air worse and causes fine particles called PM10. These particles can get into our bodies and cause health problems like asthma (哮喘). The dust also makes the snow in the Alps turn darker. The snow reflects (反射) less light from the sun, so it melts (融化) faster. The dust can also cause problems for planes and cars, because it’s harder to see clearly. To solve the problems, people should plant more trees and protect the top soil in the Sahara. In Europe, simple actions like creating more green spaces can help improve the environment. More efforts are needed to fight against Saharan dust pollution. 44. How does the writer start the passage? A. By describing a fact. B. By asking a question. C. By listing numbers. 45. What does the underlined word “increase” mean? A. Stop. B. Rise. C. Reduce. 46. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about Saharan dust? A. It causes some health illnesses like asthma. B. It brings bad influence on driving and flying. C. It makes the snow in the Alps melt more slowly. 47. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To call on people to fight against Saharan dust. B. To show how to stop dust storms in the Sahara. C. To explain the causes and harms of Saharan dust. 48. What is the main structure of the passage? A. B. C. （D） 请阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。 You may feel sad or lonely sometimes. It is common to have such feelings, especially when you are upset or tired.

They don’t try to understand the logic (逻辑) but just copy answers. This is 61 to their independent thinking and makes them lazy. From time to time, AI may produce (产生) some incorrect information, leading students to get confused. In my opinion, students should treat AI as a useful 62 , not a replacement (替代品) for their own effort. True growth comes from hard work and independent thinking.

However, I believe true happiness hides in small daily things. In my eyes, happiness is reading classic books quietly and getting strength from them. I had a happy experience in Grade Eight. At the beginning of this term, I felt stressed about my studies and often lost confidence. Then I started to read classic books in my free time. The stories taught me to be brave and never give up. Gradually, I calmed down and faced my difficulties bravely. Reading helped me grow into a more positive person. From this experience, I learn that classic books are like quiet teachers. They bring us peace, wisdom and courage. If we keep reading good books, we will always find happiness in our ordinary life. （范文二） In my opinion, true happiness lies in little warm moments in daily life, especially spreading kindness to others. In Grade Eight, I experienced such sweet happiness. One day, my desk mate was upset because she failed her exam. She felt very sad and lonely. I chose to encourage her patiently, shared my learning ways with her and studied with her after class. Slowly, she cheered up and made great progress later. Seeing the big smiles on her face, I felt truly happy and satisfied. This experience teaches me a meaningful truth. Kindness is simple but powerful. Helping others not only warms others’ hearts, but also brings us huge happiness. The more love we give, the more joy we will get. Happiness is always hidden in small kindness around us. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
