When I was in middle school, I experienced a strong earthquake. When I was listening to the teacher carefully, suddenly I felt the ground shaking and everything started moving. Everyone in the classroom was shouting and crying. I was scared and even thought of the end of the world. When the shaking stopped, the teacher quickly took us out of the classroom to the playground. We saw that the whole school was in a mess. Teachers tried to find all the students and make sure everyone was safe. As we stood on the playground, we could still feel the aftershocks. After making sure it was safe, teachers called our parents to take us home. My house suffered some damage (损坏). The bookcases fell onto the floor and some things were broken. But I felt happy that we were all safe. In the following days, we learned that the earthquake caused a lot of damage to the city. Many buildings fell down and lots of people lost their homes and family. I was sad to hear that.

Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, according to a new study. “It’s possible that being happy helps the body fight illness,” say the researchers from New York University. “It seems that positive feelings may reduce the danger of illness,” said the study’s chief researcher Sheldon Cohen. In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed positive feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill. In this study, Cohen’s team interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people told researchers about the happy or sad feelings they had that day. After the two weeks, the people were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days. Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical (化学物质) that helps fight illness. So if you are worried about your health, look on the bright side more often. ( ) 62. According to Cohen, which of the following may help fight illness? A. Eating. B. Crying. C. Laughing. D. Sleeping. ( ) 63. What did the study find? A. People who felt happy never got ill. B. People’s feelings didn’t influence their health. C. People with good feelings became ill more easily. D. People with positive feelings got sick less often. ( ) 64. Which of the following was NOT a part of the study? A. People talked about their feelings every day. B. People were kept alone for six days. C. People were given colds by doctors. D. People were made to feel unhappy. ( ) 65. What is the best title for this passage? A. Smiles Can Fight Colds B. Cause of Colds Was Found C. The Danger of Colds D. How People Get Sick D Around the world, 8.1 million people are waiting for calls from strangers. In fact, they are the volunteers for Be My Eyes and they all have a kind heart. Be My Eyes was started in 2015 by Hans J-rgen Wiberg from Denmark. This free app connects blind people with volunteers through video calls and in this way the volunteers can help the blind with their everyday tasks. Now volunteers are a lot more than blind users. So it’s not easy for volunteers to get a call. Jane Miller from New Zealand joined Be My Eyes in 2019 but didn’t receive her first call until four years later. Calls go out to many volunteers at the same time. If one doesn’t answer right away, another volunteer will take the call. Yan Yan, a Chinese actress, was not sure whether to join at first. She feared missing calls during performances. After learning that other volunteers would answer missed calls, she joined at once. She received her first call the very next day. Yan successfully helped an old man check on his bread. The two thanked each other repeatedly. “I was so nervous that I didn’t know why I thanked him,” she said. Jason Brown, an Australian, was also nervous during his first call. Now he feels more confident. He recently helped a blind person cross the street. “It just felt like chatting with an old friend,” he said. ( ) 66. Who started Be My Eyes? A. Yan Yan. B. Jane Miller. C. Hans J-rgen Wiberg. D. Jason Brown. ( ) 67. What is the purpose of Be My Eyes? A. Finding jobs. B. Making friends. C. Helping blind people. D. Holding video meetings. ( ) 68. When did Jane Miller receive her first call from the free app? A. In 2015. B. In 2019. C. In 2023. D. In 2025. ( ) 69. Why did Yan Yan finally decide to join Be My Eyes? A. She wanted to help old men with bread. B. She knew others would answer if she missed calls. C. She hoped to receive a call the next day. D. She was free during her performances. ( ) 70. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. The app helps blind people by making voice calls B. Volunteers always answer calls at the same time C. Most volunteers feel relaxed when they get their first call D. A volunteer may not get a call immediately when it comes 第二节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） Chinese calligraphy is an important part of traditional Chinese culture. Calligraphy started in China and spread to other parts of Asia with Chinese culture. It has a history of over 3,500 years. Calligraphy is the art of writing Chinese characters and rules of writing with a brush. When you practise calligraphy, it is important to pay attention to the changes of the strokes and the spaces between characters. There are many famous calligraphers in history, such as Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing. Different calligraphy works can show different calligraphers’ feelings and personalities. Today, they can be seen on the walls of offices, shops, hotels and many other places. “If I live in China, I will become a calligrapher rather than a painter for sure,” Picasso, the world-famous master of art, said. He fell in love with Chinese calligraphy as soon as he saw Zhang Daqian’s works. The tool for practising calligraphy is calligraphy brushes. They are usually made of the hair of different animals. Practising calligraphy takes a lot of time and many people take lessons to learn it. During the lessons, they can learn how to write different strokes of Chinese characters. If you’re interested in it, you may start practising with a teacher right away. Calligraphy, an amazing traditional art form, shows the love that all Chinese people have for culture and beauty. Chinese people of all ages practise calligraphy often, not to be a calligrapher, but to enjoy the peaceful mind. 71.

We picked up litter, sorted waste and watered the young trees. At first, I felt tired and bored, but when I saw the park become clean and beautiful, I felt proud. I also talked with an old man who thanked us for our work. From this experience, I have learned that small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Volunteering not only helps others but also brings me a strong feeling of achievement. I will keep doing volunteer work in the future. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
