While most kids enjoy busy school days and fun outdoor activities, he has suffered from a chronic illness since he was 12. The serious health problem forces him to spend most of his time in hospital instead of going to school or hanging out with friends. Long-term medical treatment brings him constant physical pain and also leaves him with strong feelings of loneliness day after day. To kill boring time during long hospital stays, Leo picked up drawing by accident. He did not receive any professional training at first. He simply painted the little warm moments he saw in the ward: kind nurses, bright sunshine through windows, and patients supporting each other silently. These small scenes made his hard days a little warmer. Later, a local charity organized a painting program for teenage patients, just like the photography project for cancer kids. Leo joined it without hesitation. He communicated with other sick teens through paintings, and they shared their fears and hopes hidden in heart. Recently, Leo’s paintings were shown in a community exhibition. All money earned from his works was donated to help more young patients in need. For Leo, painting is far more than a hobby. It helps him fight negative feelings and find his own value beyond his illness. Hardships are common in life. We can never stay away from sufferings, but we can find our own light in tough days. A simple hobby can give us strength, connect us with others, and let us pass kindness to people around us. 46. Why did Leo feel lonely all the time? A. He disliked studying at school. B. He had to stay in hospital for a long time. C. He refused to make new friends. D. He could not take part in competitions. 47. The underlined word “chronic” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______. A. short-term B. suddenly-happening C. long-lasting D. easily-disappeared 48. What can we know about Leo’s paintings? A. They were based on his painful treatment experiences. B. They were full of bright and rich colours. C. They became popular with many art lovers. D. They showed touching warm moments in wards. 49. What can we infer from the passage? A. Leo picked up drawing long before illness. B. The program lifted the sick teens’ spirits. C. The art show took place in hospital. D. Leo has fully recovered from sickness. 50. What can be learned about Leo’s personality from the passage? A. Positive and kind. B. Calm and shy. C. Sad and weak. D. Funny and careless. C Imagine returning home after a tiring day to find a dog happily waiting for you or a cat quietly sitting beside you. For many, pets are more than just animals — they are trusted companions and bring happiness to everyday life. Studies show that having pets can help reduce stress, improve mental health, and even encourage people to stay active. However, the joy of having pets comes with challenges. They require care, time, and money. This leads to an important question: Are pets truly our best friends, or are they responsibilities that add pressure to our lives? Pets bring a lot of positive energy to their owners. A dog’s excitement when seeing its owner or a cat’s calm presence can make people feel less lonely. For children, having a pet can teach them how to take care of others and be more responsible. For older adults, pets can provide company and make their days feel less empty. Beyond emotional benefits, pets like dogs encourage their owners to go outside and exercise, which is good for physical health. Even smaller animals, like fish or birds, can make a home feel more lively and interesting. In many ways, pets make life richer and more enjoyable. That said, owning pets is not always easy. The cost of food, medical care, and other supplies can be a financial burden for some families. Taking care of a pet also requires time — feeding, cleaning, and playing with them are daily tasks that cannot be skipped. For people who are already busy with work or studies, this can become stressful. Pets can also cause trouble at times. A barking dog might upset the neighbors, or a playful cat might damage furniture. Some people may even regret getting a pet when they realize they cannot meet its needs. In some cases, pets are abandoned, which raises concerns about whether people fully understand the responsibilities of owning an animal. Whether pets are more of a joy or a burden depends on the owner’s situation. For those who are ready to care for them, pets can bring great happiness and friendship. For others, the challenges may outweigh the rewards. Perhaps the key is to think carefully before deciding to bring a pet into one’s life. Pets are not toys or simple hobbies — they are living beings that depend entirely on their owners. Respect and care should always be at the center of this relationship. 51. Why does the author introduce the image of returning home to a dog or cat? A. To highlight the emotional comfort pets can provide. B. To emphasize the financial burden of caring for pets. C. To explain why people choose to keep pets. D. To show how pets can help people stay active. 52. What is one main advantage of having pets according to the passage? A. Pets can teach people how to manage their finances. B. Pets encourage owners to develop healthier habits. C. Pets help owners avoid loneliness by keeping them busy. D. Pets reduce the need for social interactions with other people. 53. Why might some people regret owning pets? A. Pets often require more food than expected. B. Pets can create noise that disturbs neighbors. C. Pets may become aggressive and harm their owners. D. Pets demand care and attention that some owners cannot provide. 54. What is the function of the last paragraph? A. To summarize the emotional benefits of owning pets. B. To argue that pets are more burdensome than beneficial. C. To stress the need to think carefully before getting a pet. D. To provide examples of pets that require less care. 55. Which of the following best describes the author’s view on pet ownership? A. Pets are essential for emotional and physical health. B. Owning pets requires responsibility and careful thought. C. Pets are unnecessary responsibilities in modern life. D. People should avoid keeping pets unless they are wealthy. 四、单词拼写（共10小题；每题2分；共20分） 注意：首字母已给出的需要在答题纸上拼写出完整单词 56. It is impolite to make unfavorable _________ (评论) on others’ appearance. 57.
