C “Sarah, dear, time to get out of bed,” Mr Hartwell said, poking (拨弄) his head through the bedroom doorway. “You don’t want to miss the first day at your new school, do you?” “I’m not going,” Sarah said, pulling the covers over her head. “Of course you’re going, honey,” Mr Hartwell said, opening the curtains. “You liked your old school. I’m sure you’ll like this one, too. Just think of all the new friends you’ll meet.” “That’s just it. I don’t know anybody. It will be hard. I just hate it.” “How can you hate your new school? You’ve never been there before!” Sarah said nothing. Mr Hartwell sighed. “Sarah Jane Hartwell, I’m not playing this silly game any longer. I’ll see you downstairs in five minutes.” Sarah slowly got out of bed and went to the bathroom. She put on her clothes clumsily. “My head hurts,” she said quietly. In the kitchen, Mr Hartwell handed her a piece of toast and her lunchbox. Soon they were in the car. Sarah’s hands were cold and wet. As they drove down the street, she felt her heart beating faster and faster. Then they arrived. “I feel sick,” Sarah said weakly. “Nonsense,” Mr Hartwell said. “You’ll be fine once you get started. Oh, look! There’s Mrs Burton.” Mrs Burton was waiting outside. She opened the car door and smiled. “Oh, Sarah! There you are. Come on. I’ll show you where to go.” Sarah followed her into the school building. The hallways were crowded and noisy. She walked quickly behind Mrs Burton, trying to keep up. “Don’t worry,” Mrs Burton said. “Everyone feels nervous on the first day.” At last, they stopped in front of a classroom. Most of the children were already in their seats. They looked up as Mrs Burton walked in. “Class, I think we have someone special to welcome today.” Sarah took a deep breath and stepped forward. She looked at the rows of unfamiliar faces. A boy smiled and said, “Good morning, Miss Hartwell.” “Good morning,” Sarah replied with a small smile. Mrs Burton gave her a nod and quietly left the room. Sarah looked at the clock, picked up a piece of chalk, and turned to the blackboard. “Right,” she said. “Shall we begin?” 17.

Sarah’s wonderful school life D Sam and I walked along the main street, the small buildings giving us a break from the sun. Through the window of the candy shop I could see tubes of colorful jelly beans. A sign on the window’s glass read LOST: Gold and blue necklace. Very special. If found, call Chrissy at 555-9924. Chrissy had drawn a crayon version of the necklace at the bottom of the poster and a border made of orange exclamation points. The necklace looked different from the one I clutched (紧握) in my pocket, I decided. Rounder; bluer. The poster appeared old and weathered. It must have been put up months ago. “Hey,” Sam asked, “are you coming with me?” We continued to walk, and I noticed four more posters. Someone must have returned that necklace by now, I thought. Once home, I placed the necklace into my old yellow retainer box. I’d cleaned it out and made it my special place for special things. So far, it held twin miniature seashells, a pebble that looked exactly like a bird’s egg, and 11 half-burnt birthday candles. I looked at the stone, so clean and polished. Could it be Chrissy’s? Was it her “very special” necklace? “Uncle Coop,” I called, “would you take me to the store?” We went into town together and stopped at Luann’s. Uncle Coop let me borrow his cell phone to call the number on the poster. “Hello?” said a girl’s voice after one ring. “Hi,” I said, __▲__ . “Is this Chrissy?” “Yes.” “Um, my name is Ryan. I think I may have something that belongs to you.” “My necklace?” Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting at a table across from Chrissy. We were drinking milkshakes and sharing an order of sweet-potato fries while Uncle Coop and Chrissy’s dad drank coffee at the counter. “It was a gift from my mom,” she said, “before she got sick.” Chrissy looked down at the blue stone in her hand. “I’m really sorry,” I said. “Holding on to it somehow makes things a little better,” she said. “Do you know what I mean?” I thought about the mean kids at school and how holding on to beautiful things often made me feel better. I nodded. “I think I do.” 17. Which word is the most suitable for __▲__? A. patient B. excited C. nervous D. relaxed 18. What can we infer from the passage about the necklace? A. Chrissy had lost it in the candy shop. B. Ryan and Sam found it together. C. Chrissy’s mother bought it long ago. D. Ryan wanted to keep it at first. 19. Which is the best title for this story? A. An Honest Girl B. Lost and Found C. An Important Gift D. Family and Love E A Brave Fighter Against ALS ①Cai Lei was once a successful man in JD.com, a famous big company in China. He was well-known as the father of electronic invoices (电子发票) in China, making great achievements in the past (过去). ②However, in 2019 when he was 41, Cai Lei got an illness called ALS (渐冻症). It makes people slowly lose the ability to move. Doctors told him that fewer than 30% of patients with this illness could live for more than five years. Now his illness is very serious.

This helps doctors and scientists research the illness better. He donated more than 50 million yuan and worked with top scientists to push 10 new medicines into testing. Though he can only work with an eye-controlled device and needs rest every 2 hours, he still leads his team to work hard every day. His family supports him a lot. His wife sells goods online to raise money for research. ④Cai Lei never gave up. He even decided to donate his brain and spinal cord (脊髓) for scientific research after his death. He said, “I’d like to fight against ALS bravely instead of dying slowly.” He encourages millions of people and brings hope to thousands of patients. He shows us that a strong mind can beat great challenges, and we should never stop trying to help others. 20. How can we match the keywords with each paragraph? a. Cai Lei’s Strong Mind b.

Ms Wang, 72 years old, lives in Beijing. She made friends with three other women at a community garden five years ago. Every morning, they meet at the garden to do tai chi together. After that, they sit on a bench and chat about their daily lives—their children, their grandchildren, or interesting things they saw on TV. “Before I met them, I felt very lonely,” Ms Wang said. “My children work in other cities, so I live alone. But now, I look forward to every morning because I know I will see my friends.” These four friends also help each other in many ways. Last year, Ms Li fell and hurt her leg. Her friends took turns visiting her and bringing her meals. They also helped her clean her house and take care of her plants. “They are like my family,” Ms Li said. “I don’t know what I would have done without them.” Another group of elderly friends in Shanghai has a different way of staying connected. They formed a “book chub” three years ago. Every Saturday afternoon, they meet at a community center to read and discuss books. Most of the books they read are about Chinese history or traditional culture. “Reading together helps us learn new things, and discussing the books brings us closer,” said Mr Chen, 78 years old. “We also share our own stories and experiences while talking about the books. It’s very interesting.” These friendships are not just fun—they also have many health benefits. Studies show that elderly people with strong friendships are less likely to feel lonely or depressed (抑郁的). They also have better physical health, because they are more active and take better care of themselves when they have friends to support them. Many communities in China are now encouraging elderly people to make friends. They organize activities like tai chi classes, book clubs, and craft workshops. These activities give elderly people a chance to meet others and build new friendships. “We want to help elderly people live happy and healthy lives,” said a community worker. “Friendship is an important part of that.” 1. Where did Ms Wang meet her three friends? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. When was the “book club” in Shanghai formed? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Why do Mr Chen and his friends read and discuss books at the community center? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 4.
