On 18 May, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., we will turn the main hall into a place for sharing memories. Whether you have lived here for thirty years or thirty days, you are welcome. Entry is free, and children should come with an adult. At 2 p.m., visitors can explore our photo wall. Pictures from different years will show how food, music and games have changed. At 3 p.m., three neighbours will tell short stories about their first street gathering. From 4 p.m., small groups will design one activity for next year. We hope each idea will connect something old with something new. Do you have an invitation, a game or a photograph from an earlier gathering? Bring it to the centre by 11 May. Add your name and a short explanation of why it matters. Please bring a copy of any photograph you cannot replace. We will return other objects during the week after the event. You do not need to own an old object to take part. You can write down a memory or help a neighbour tell one. New residents can share a celebration from their former street. Please leave your name at the centre’s front desk by 15 May if you would like a seat at the story session. This helps us arrange enough chairs; it is not a ticket for the whole event. 6. What will visitors do at 3 p.m. on 18 May? A. Design next year’s activities. B. Prepare the photo wall. C. Listen to neighbours’ memories. D. Collect their borrowed objects. 【答案】C　【分类】细节理解　第2段按时间列出活动：下午3点由三位邻居讲述首次参加街区聚会的故事。设计活动从下午4点开始。 7. Why should visitors bring copies of valuable photographs? A. To compare different camera styles. B. To make the pictures larger. C. To keep the originals safe. D. To give every guest one. 【答案】C　【分类】推理判断　第3段要求无法补回的照片提供复制件，可推知这样做是为了保护珍贵原件，避免原件遗失或损坏。文中没有放大照片或向每人发照片的安排。 8. How can a new resident join in without an old object? A. Share a celebration from another street. B. Return the objects after the event. C. Bring three neighbours to the hall. D. Choose the photos for the wall. 【答案】A　【分类】细节理解　第4段明确提到，新住户可以分享原来街区的庆祝活动；并不要求拥有这里的旧物。 9. What does registering by 15 May help the centre do? A. Prepare copies of all the photographs. B. Provide seats for the story session. C. Choose activities for the following year. D. Find speakers for the opening ceremony. 【答案】B　【分类】细节理解　末段说明提前登记有助于准备足够的椅子，服务于故事分享环节；登记并非整场活动的购票程序。 参考译文 韦斯特菲尔德社区中心将庆祝街区聚会举办三十周年。5月18日下午2点到5点，我们将把主厅布置成分享记忆的地方。无论你在这里住了三十年还是三十天，都欢迎参加。活动免费，儿童应由一位成人陪同。 下午2点，访客可以参观照片墙。不同时期的照片将展示食物、音乐和游戏的变化。下午3点，三位邻居将简短讲述他们第一次参加街区聚会的故事。下午4点起，大家将分组为明年设计一项活动。我们希望每个创意都能把旧事物与新事物联系起来。 你是否保存着以前聚会的邀请函、游戏用品或照片？请在5月11日之前送到中心，附上姓名，并简要说明它的重要之处。无法补回的珍贵照片请提供复制件。其他物品将在活动后一周内归还。 没有旧物也能参与。你可以写下一段回忆，或帮助邻居讲述回忆。新住户可以分享原来街区的一场庆祝活动。如果你希望在故事分享环节有座位，请在5月15日之前到中心前台登记姓名。这样方便我们准备足够的椅子；登记并不是参加整场活动的入场凭证。 B Every June, Clara’s family held a picnic to welcome summer. For years, they met in her grandparents’ garden. A blue cloth flag hung above the long table, and each child added a painted handprint when they were old enough. Clara had always thought the flag looked rather tired. This year, her grandparents moved to a smaller flat, so the family booked a space in a public park. Clara suggested buying a bright new flag. Her uncle agreed, but Grandma asked her to unfold the old one first. Near one corner, Clara found a tiny yellow handprint with her own name beside it. “You refused to use blue paint,” Grandma said. Clara laughed. There was her father’s handprint too, much smaller than his hand was now. One corner had a tear. Instead of hiding it, Grandma showed Clara how to sew a red piece of cloth over it. They worked together for an hour while Grandma explained who had made the other marks. At the picnic, the family tried new games and ordered food instead of cooking everything themselves. Yet the repaired flag still hung above their table. Clara’s little cousin pressed a green hand onto it, and everyone made room to watch. When they packed up, Clara folded the flag carefully. She no longer wanted it to look new. Next year, she decided, she would photograph it and write down the names behind the handprints. The picnic had found a new home, and the flag had gained another story. 10. Why did the family choose a public park this year? A. The grandparents had moved home. B. The family needed different games. C. The children preferred a larger table. D. The garden was being repaired. 【答案】A　【分类】细节理解　第2段说明祖父母搬进了较小的公寓，因此全家改在公园野餐。并非因为花园正在维修。 11. What did Clara do with Grandma before the picnic? A. Painted every name on the flag. B. Made a new flag for Grandpa. C. Covered all the old handprints. D. Repaired a damaged family flag. 【答案】D　【分类】细节理解　第3段写到奶奶教克拉拉用红布修补旗角的破洞，她们一起做了一个小时。没有重新写完所有名字或盖住手印。 12. What can we learn from Clara’s plan for next year? A. She wants a better picnic place. B. She prefers photographs to family games. C. She now values the flag’s history. D. She hopes to replace the flag. 【答案】C　【分类】推理判断　克拉拉由想换新旗转为要拍下旧旗并记录手印对应的人名，表明她开始重视旧旗承载的家庭历史。 13. Which is the best title for the passage? A. New Place, Same Family Story B. The Trouble with Old Gardens C. A Flag for a Winning Team D. A Competition in the Park 【答案】A　【分类】主旨大意　文章以野餐地点改变和旧旗被保留为线索，突出家庭记忆在变化中延续。全文没有比赛输赢或园艺问题。 参考译文 每年六月，克拉拉一家都举行野餐，迎接夏天。多年来，他们一直在祖父母的花园相聚。长桌上方挂着一面蓝色布旗，每个孩子长到可以画画时，都会在旗上留下一个彩色手印。克拉拉一直觉得这面旗有些破旧。 今年，祖父母搬进了更小的公寓，于是家人在公园预订了一块场地。克拉拉建议买一面鲜艳的新旗，叔叔同意了，但奶奶让她先展开旧旗。靠近一个角的地方，克拉拉发现了一个小小的黄色手印，旁边写着自己的名字。 “当时你就是不肯用蓝色颜料。”奶奶说。克拉拉笑了。上面也有爸爸的手印，比他现在的手小得多。旗的一角破了。奶奶没有把破洞藏起来，而是教克拉拉缝一块红布盖住它。她们一起忙了一个小时，奶奶一边缝，一边讲述其他印记是谁留下的。 野餐时，全家尝试了新游戏，还订了食物，没有像以前那样全由自己做。然而，修补好的旗仍然挂在桌子上方。克拉拉的小表弟在旗上印了一个绿色手印，大家都让出位置围着看。 收拾东西时，克拉拉小心地叠好旗。她不再希望它看起来崭新。她决定明年给它拍照，并记下手印背后的人名。野餐换了地方，而这面旗又多了一个故事。 C The last guest has left a school celebration. Under the tables are paper cups, torn decorations and plastic forks. Buying these things was easy; dealing with them is another job. One possible answer starts long before the guests arrive: a shared celebration kit, a box of useful things that can come back for another event. A kit might contain washable cups, plates and cloth flags. A class borrows what it needs and returns the items afterwards. The idea is simple, but the useful part is not just the box. It is the plan that keeps the things moving from one group to the next. A cup that stays forgotten in a cupboard cannot replace any throwaway cups. Imagine a school starting with a kit of forty cups. A student checks the list before a class borrows them. During the event, a large sign shows guests where used cups should go. Afterwards, adults help arrange proper washing and drying. The clean cups are counted and stored, ready for the next booking. Each step answers a practical question: who takes care of the kit, and when? There are problems to solve. If two classes celebrate on the same afternoon, one box may not be enough. A booking calendar can show this early, giving the classes time to borrow extra cups. If items often go missing, the answer may be a clearer return point rather than a bigger shopping list. A note inside the box can record what needs repair or replacement. Reusing things can reduce waste, but a reusable label alone does not make an item a good choice. Making and washing objects also uses resources. A useful kit therefore needs repeated use, sensible washing and careful storage. Buying many new decorations and using them only once misses the point. Starting with suitable things the school already owns may be more helpful. The kit can also keep small pieces of school history. A cloth flag might travel from a reading celebration to a welcome party, gathering a new paper message each time. Its colours need not match perfectly. When the next class opens the box, it receives equipment and a reminder that other people have celebrated there too. The celebration ends, but the things do not have to become rubbish. 14. What makes a shared celebration kit useful? A. A list of shops offering discounts. B. A cupboard for displaying unused cups. C. A rule for buying matching decorations. D. A plan for using items repeatedly. 【答案】D　【分类】细节理解　第2段强调关键是让物品从一个群体流转到下一个群体的安排，后文也围绕收集、清洗、归还和再次使用展开。 15. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Steps for making colourful cloth flags. B. Rules for choosing the biggest box. C. Reasons to cancel busy school events. D. Ways to deal with possible difficulties. 【答案】D　【分类】段落大意　第4段先后提出同时借用、物品丢失及维修更换等问题，并给出应对办法，因此重心是解决可能出现的困难。 16. Which action best follows the advice in paragraph 5? A. Keep new plates safely without use. B. Replace old flags before every event. C. Wash and reuse cups already available. D. Buy extra cups for one celebration. 【答案】C　【分类】推理判断　第5段重视反复使用和利用已有的合适物品。清洗并再次使用现有杯子最符合建议；只购买、只保存而不使用都不能实现目的。 17. Why does the writer mention a flag in the last paragraph? A. To show another value of sharing items. B. To prove that all classes like flags. C. To suggest making every party look alike. D. To explain why paper is always wasteful. 【答案】A　【分类】写作意图　前文谈减少垃圾和使用流程，末段用承载历次活动留言的布旗补充说明：共用品还能保存记忆。并非要求所有庆祝活动外观相同。 参考译文 学校庆祝活动的最后一位客人已经离开。桌子下面留下纸杯、撕破的装饰品和塑料叉。购买这些东西很容易，处理它们又是一项工作。一种可能的解决办法在宾客到来前就开始了：共用一个庆典用品箱，让里面的实用物品可以再次用于活动。 用品箱里可以装可清洗的杯盘和布旗。一个班借用所需物品，活动后归还。想法很简单，但真正起作用的不只是箱子，而是让这些物品在不同群体间不断流转的安排。一个被遗忘在柜子里的杯子，无法替代任何一次性杯子。 设想一所学校最初准备了四十个杯子。某个班借用前，由一名学生核对清单。活动期间，一块醒目的标牌告诉宾客用过的杯子放在哪里。活动后，成人协助安排妥善的清洗和晾干。干净的杯子经过清点后存放起来，供下次借用。每一步都回答一个实际问题：由谁在什么时候照管用品箱？ 仍有一些问题需要解决。如果两个班在同一天下午庆祝，一个箱子可能不够用。预约日历能及早显示这种情况，让各班有时间另借一些杯子。如果物品经常丢失，解决办法也许是设置更清楚的归还点，而不是加长采购清单。箱子里可以放一张便条，记录需要维修或更换的物品。 重复使用能够减少垃圾，但仅有“可重复使用”的标签并不能保证一个物品就是好的选择。制造和清洗物品同样需要资源。因此，一个实用的用品箱需要反复使用、合理清洗和妥善保管。买很多新装饰品却只用一次，并没有抓住要点。先利用学校已有的合适物品，或许更有帮助。 用品箱还可以保存学校历史的细小片段。一面布旗可以从阅读庆祝会来到欢迎会，每次多添一张纸条。它的颜色不必搭配得十分完美。下一个班打开箱子时，得到的不仅是用品，也会想起曾有其他人在这里庆祝。庆祝结束了，用品却不必成为垃圾。 D At a family celebration, someone calls, “Wait! Let me take a picture.” The food pauses halfway to people’s mouths. A joke must be told again because the camera was not ready. A photograph can help us remember a happy day. But when a celebration keeps stopping for pictures, it is worth asking what we are actually trying to save. Photos have a real place in family life. A relative who lives far away can see a child receiving a prize. Years later, a picture may help someone remember the room, the clothes or a person’s smile. For family members who could not attend, sharing several pictures can be a warm way of saying, “You were in our thoughts.” The difficulty begins when the picture becomes more important than the event. Consider a child who has just finished a song at a family gathering. Before anyone talks about the music, adults ask the child to sing the last line again for their phones. The second performance may look better on screen. Yet the child’s first happy look, and the family’s natural response, have already passed. What needed attention was the child, not the recording. Some people suggest leaving every phone outside the room. That may work for a short activity, but it is not the only answer. A guest may need to contact someone at home, and another may want a picture with a rarely seen cousin. Treating every use of a phone as rude can make guests uncomfortable. The better question is whether taking a photo supports the gathering or interrupts it. A family could agree on a few simple habits. Take a group picture near the beginning, when everyone knows what is happening. Ask before photographing someone closely or sharing their image. Then leave long stretches of time for eating, playing and talking. One willing person could take a few natural pictures, so everyone else does not need to record the same moment. There is no perfect number of photographs for a celebration. A quiet meal and a large reunion will need different choices. Still, the people in front of the camera deserve more attention than the pictures inside it. An album can show who stood beside us. Only taking part allows us to find out what they thought, what made them laugh and how it felt to be together. 18. What problem is described in paragraph 3? A. Children refuse to sing for relatives. B. Recording receives more attention than people. C. Guests cannot hear music clearly enough. D. Phones fail during an important performance. 【答案】B　【分类】段落大意　第3段通过让孩子重唱的例子说明，大人过于关注录像，忽略了孩子本人和当下自然的情感交流。 19. Why does the writer mention contacting someone at home? A. To explain why a complete ban may be unsuitable. B. To show why guests should leave a party early. C. To advise families to buy phones for children. D. To suggest that calls should replace family visits. 【答案】A　【分类】写作意图　第4段承认使用手机也可能有实际需要，这个例子是对“全部禁用手机”的补充思考，说明应视情况判断。 20. Which suggestion does the writer make? A. Ask each guest to record every activity. B. Repeat funny moments until pictures look right. C. Save all group photos for the end. D. Let a volunteer take some natural photos. 【答案】D　【分类】细节理解　第5段明确建议可由一位自愿者拍少量自然的照片，并在活动开始不久安排合影。 21. What would the writer probably agree with? A. Photos should support shared experiences. B. Large reunions need a fixed photo limit. C. Good albums require carefully repeated scenes. D. Keeping phones outside suits every gathering. 【答案】A　【分类】观点态度　全文既认可照片的作用，又强调拍照不应打断相聚，因此作者赞成让照片服务于共同经历。其余选项都把文中的局部做法绝对化或反向理解。 参考译文 在一次家庭庆祝活动上，有人喊道：“等等！让我拍张照。”大家把食物送向嘴边的动作停了下来。因为相机刚才没准备好，一个笑话还得再讲一次。照片能帮助我们记住快乐的一天。但是，如果庆祝活动不断为拍照而暂停，就值得想一想：我们到底想保存什么？ 照片确实在家庭生活中有意义。远方的亲人可以看到孩子领奖。多年后，一张照片可能帮助人们想起当时的房间、衣服或某个人的笑容。对于未能到场的家人，分享几张照片是一种温暖的表达：“我们也在想着你。” 问题始于照片比活动本身更重要的时候。设想一个孩子刚在家庭聚会上唱完歌。还没人谈论音乐，大人们就为了用手机录下来，让孩子再唱一遍最后一句。第二次表演在屏幕上可能更好看，但孩子最初开心的表情和家人自然的反应已经过去了。需要关注的是孩子，而不是录像。 有人建议把所有手机留在房间外。短时间活动或许适合这样做，但这不是唯一的办法。一位宾客可能需要联系家里，另一位也许想与难得见面的表亲合影。把每一次使用手机都当作失礼，会让宾客不自在。更好的问题是：这次拍照是在帮助相聚，还是打断相聚？ 一家人可以约定几个简单的习惯。开始不久，趁大家都知道要做什么时拍一张合影。近距离拍摄他人或分享其照片前，先征求同意。随后留出大段时间吃饭、游戏和聊天。可以由一位自愿者拍几张自然的照片，这样其他人就不必都记录同一瞬间。 庆祝活动没有一个完美的拍照数量标准。安静的聚餐和大型团聚需要不同的选择。不过，镜头前的人比镜头里的照片更值得关注。相册能告诉我们谁曾站在身边。只有真正参与，我们才能知道他们想些什么、什么让他们发笑，以及相聚是什么感受。 三、完形填空 A Every autumn, Owen’s family celebrated the end of the gardening season with apple biscuits. This year, Grandma was visiting her sister, and Owen offered to make them. But the old ___22___ was missing. He searched every drawer and ___23___ in the kitchen without finding it. Owen felt ___24___. The guests would arrive that afternoon, and he wanted everything to taste familiar. He called Grandma. She could not remember the exact amounts, but she ___25___ rubbing the butter into the flour and adding small pieces of apple. “Your dad used to help,” she said. “Ask him too.” Dad remembered that the mixture should feel soft. Owen’s sister remembered a little cinnamon. Together, they made a small batch. Owen added the milk ___26___, checking the mixture after each spoonful. The first biscuits were too hard, so they made the next batch ___27___. No one agreed that the taste was exactly the same as Grandma’s, but everyone wanted a second biscuit. At the gathering, Owen explained what had happened. Instead of complaining, his relatives ___28___ their own memories of Grandma’s kitchen. One remembered singing while washing apples; another remembered always getting the biggest biscuit. Before bed, Owen ___29___ their new recipe into a notebook. On the next ___30___, he wrote down the stories he had heard. When Grandma returned, he would ask for hers as well. The biscuits might change a little each year, he thought, but the family could still make them ___31___. 22 A. letter B. recipe C. menu D. ticket 【答案】B　【考点】名词辨析　下文围绕食材用量与做饼干的方法展开，因此丢失的是 recipe“食谱”，不是菜单或信件。 23 A. garage B. garden C. cupboard D. balcony 【答案】C　【考点】名词辨析　地点限定为厨房，且与 drawer“抽屉”并列，cupboard“橱柜”符合寻找食谱的场景。 24 A. patient B. relaxed C. proud D. worried 【答案】D　【考点】形容词辨析　食谱找不到，宾客当天下午要来，他又想保持熟悉的味道，因此感到 worried“担忧的”。 25 A. avoided B. suggested C. remembered D. finished 【答案】C　【考点】动词辨析　上文说奶奶记不清准确用量，but 后转向她仍记得的制作步骤，故用 remembered。 26 A. suddenly B. silently C. slowly D. carelessly 【答案】C　【考点】副词辨析　后半句说明每加一勺都会检查混合物，因此牛奶是慢慢加入的；不是只强调不出声音。 27 A. larger B. softer C. sweeter D. darker 【答案】B　【考点】形容词辨析　第一批的问题是 too hard“太硬”，对应的改进是做得 softer“更软”。 28 A. shared B. changed C. missed D. doubted 【答案】A　【考点】动词辨析　后文列举亲人讲述的厨房往事，说明大家在“分享”记忆，用 shared。 29 A. hid B. copied C. mailed D. sold 【答案】B　【考点】动词辨析　与 into a notebook 搭配，此处表示把新食谱誊写到本子上，copied 符合语境。 30 A. plate B. seat C. shelf D. page 【答案】D　【考点】名词辨析　前句提到笔记本，接着要写故事，因此是在下一“页”上写，用 page。 31 A. outside B. together C. alone D. instead 【答案】B　【考点】副词辨析　结尾强调味道会变，但共同制作的家庭习惯可以延续，together“在一起”呼应全文。 参考译文 每年秋天，欧文一家都会用苹果饼干庆祝园艺季结束。今年奶奶去看望姐姐，欧文主动提出做饼干。但旧食谱不见了。他翻遍厨房的每个抽屉和橱柜，也没找到。 欧文很担心。宾客当天下午就会到，他希望一切还是熟悉的味道。他给奶奶打电话。她记不清准确的用量，但记得要把黄油揉进面粉，再加入小块苹果。“你爸爸以前会帮忙，”她说，“也问问他。” 爸爸记得混合物摸起来应该软软的。欧文的妹妹记得要加一点肉桂。他们一起试做了一小批。欧文慢慢加牛奶，每加一勺就检查一下混合物。第一批饼干太硬，于是下一批做得更软了。没人认为味道与奶奶做的完全相同，但每个人都想再吃一块。 聚会上，欧文解释了发生的事情。亲人们没有抱怨，而是分享起自己对奶奶厨房的记忆。有人记得边洗苹果边唱歌，还有人记得自己总能拿到最大的饼干。 睡前，欧文把新食谱誊写进笔记本。在下一页，他记下听来的故事。等奶奶回来，他也会请她讲讲。饼干的味道也许每年都会有一点变化，他想，但家人仍然可以一起制作。 B Nathan had a new job for his street’s summer celebration: sending the invitations. In earlier years, volunteers had delivered a card to every house. Nathan suggested an online notice instead. It could include a map, photographs and a form for choosing food. The adults agreed to try it, and Nathan felt ___32___ when the first replies arrived. Within two days, most families had answered. Nathan counted the replies and told the organiser that they could save time and ___33___ this year. He even added a page where neighbours could offer help. Soon there were enough people to carry tables, lead games and clean the hall afterwards. Everything seemed ready. On the afternoon of the celebration, Nathan noticed an ___34___ chair beside his mother. Mrs Ellis, who lived at the end of the street, usually sat there. He had expected her to bring her famous lemon cake. When he knocked on her door, she was watering a plant in the kitchen. “I thought it was next weekend,” she said. “Has the date changed?” Nathan explained the online notice. Mrs Ellis had a phone, but she used it mainly for calls. She had not seen the ___35___ in the street’s group. Nathan suddenly felt ___36___. He had checked how many people replied, but not who was missing. He wanted to give a long explanation about how useful the new system was. Instead, he ___37___ while Mrs Ellis described the paper invitations she kept in a kitchen drawer. On the back of each one, she had written something funny that happened at that year’s celebration. To her, they were more than notices. Nathan helped her bring the cake to the hall. Later, he asked the organiser to offer neighbours a ___38___ next year: an online invitation, a printed one, or both. He would also ask a volunteer to contact anyone who had not replied.

On 18 May, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., we will turn the main hall into a place for sharing memories. Whether you have lived here for thirty years or thirty days, you are welcome. Entry is free, and children should come with an adult. At 2 p.m., visitors can explore our photo wall. Pictures from different years will show how food, music and games have changed. At 3 p.m., three neighbours will tell short stories about their first street gathering. From 4 p.m., small groups will design one activity for next year. We hope each idea will connect something old with something new. Do you have an invitation, a game or a photograph from an earlier gathering? Bring it to the centre by 11 May. Add your name and a short explanation of why it matters. Please bring a copy of any photograph you cannot replace. We will return other objects during the week after the event. You do not need to own an old object to take part. You can write down a memory or help a neighbour tell one. New residents can share a celebration from their former street. Please leave your name at the centre’s front desk by 15 May if you would like a seat at the story session. This helps us arrange enough chairs; it is not a ticket for the whole event. 6.

A blue cloth flag hung above the long table, and each child added a painted handprint when they were old enough. Clara had always thought the flag looked rather tired. This year, her grandparents moved to a smaller flat, so the family booked a space in a public park. Clara suggested buying a bright new flag. Her uncle agreed, but Grandma asked her to unfold the old one first. Near one corner, Clara found a tiny yellow handprint with her own name beside it. “You refused to use blue paint,” Grandma said. Clara laughed. There was her father’s handprint too, much smaller than his hand was now. One corner had a tear. Instead of hiding it, Grandma showed Clara how to sew a red piece of cloth over it. They worked together for an hour while Grandma explained who had made the other marks. At the picnic, the family tried new games and ordered food instead of cooking everything themselves. Yet the repaired flag still hung above their table. Clara’s little cousin pressed a green hand onto it, and everyone made room to watch. When they packed up, Clara folded the flag carefully. She no longer wanted it to look new. Next year, she decided, she would photograph it and write down the names behind the handprints. The picnic had found a new home, and the flag had gained another story. 10. Why did the family choose a public park this year? A. The grandparents had moved home. B. The family needed different games. C. The children preferred a larger table. D. The garden was being repaired. 11. What did Clara do with Grandma before the picnic? A. Painted every name on the flag. B. Made a new flag for Grandpa. C. Covered all the old handprints. D. Repaired a damaged family flag. 12. What can we learn from Clara’s plan for next year? A. She wants a better picnic place. B. She prefers photographs to family games. C. She now values the flag’s history. D. She hopes to replace the flag. 13. Which is the best title for the passage? A. New Place, Same Family Story B. The Trouble with Old Gardens C. A Flag for a Winning Team D. A Competition in the Park C The last guest has left a school celebration. Under the tables are paper cups, torn decorations and plastic forks. Buying these things was easy; dealing with them is another job. One possible answer starts long before the guests arrive: a shared celebration kit, a box of useful things that can come back for another event. A kit might contain washable cups, plates and cloth flags. A class borrows what it needs and returns the items afterwards. The idea is simple, but the useful part is not just the box. It is the plan that keeps the things moving from one group to the next. A cup that stays forgotten in a cupboard cannot replace any throwaway cups. Imagine a school starting with a kit of forty cups. A student checks the list before a class borrows them. During the event, a large sign shows guests where used cups should go. Afterwards, adults help arrange proper washing and drying. The clean cups are counted and stored, ready for the next booking. Each step answers a practical question: who takes care of the kit, and when? There are problems to solve. If two classes celebrate on the same afternoon, one box may not be enough. A booking calendar can show this early, giving the classes time to borrow extra cups. If items often go missing, the answer may be a clearer return point rather than a bigger shopping list. A note inside the box can record what needs repair or replacement. Reusing things can reduce waste, but a reusable label alone does not make an item a good choice. Making and washing objects also uses resources. A useful kit therefore needs repeated use, sensible washing and careful storage. Buying many new decorations and using them only once misses the point. Starting with suitable things the school already owns may be more helpful. The kit can also keep small pieces of school history. A cloth flag might travel from a reading celebration to a welcome party, gathering a new paper message each time. Its colours need not match perfectly. When the next class opens the box, it receives equipment and a reminder that other people have celebrated there too. The celebration ends, but the things do not have to become rubbish. 14. What makes a shared celebration kit useful? A. A list of shops offering discounts. B. A cupboard for displaying unused cups. C. A rule for buying matching decorations. D. A plan for using items repeatedly. 15. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Steps for making colourful cloth flags. B. Rules for choosing the biggest box. C. Reasons to cancel busy school events. D. Ways to deal with possible difficulties. 16. Which action best follows the advice in paragraph 5? A. Keep new plates safely without use. B. Replace old flags before every event. C. Wash and reuse cups already available. D. Buy extra cups for one celebration. 17. Why does the writer mention a flag in the last paragraph? A. To show another value of sharing items. B. To prove that all classes like flags. C. To suggest making every party look alike. D. To explain why paper is always wasteful. D At a family celebration, someone calls, “Wait! Let me take a picture.” The food pauses halfway to people’s mouths. A joke must be told again because the camera was not ready. A photograph can help us remember a happy day. But when a celebration keeps stopping for pictures, it is worth asking what we are actually trying to save. Photos have a real place in family life. A relative who lives far away can see a child receiving a prize. Years later, a picture may help someone remember the room, the clothes or a person’s smile. For family members who could not attend, sharing several pictures can be a warm way of saying, “You were in our thoughts.” The difficulty begins when the picture becomes more important than the event. Consider a child who has just finished a song at a family gathering. Before anyone talks about the music, adults ask the child to sing the last line again for their phones. The second performance may look better on screen. Yet the child’s first happy look, and the family’s natural response, have already passed. What needed attention was the child, not the recording. Some people suggest leaving every phone outside the room. That may work for a short activity, but it is not the only answer. A guest may need to contact someone at home, and another may want a picture with a rarely seen cousin. Treating every use of a phone as rude can make guests uncomfortable. The better question is whether taking a photo supports the gathering or interrupts it. A family could agree on a few simple habits. Take a group picture near the beginning, when everyone knows what is happening. Ask before photographing someone closely or sharing their image. Then leave long stretches of time for eating, playing and talking. One willing person could take a few natural pictures, so everyone else does not need to record the same moment. There is no perfect number of photographs for a celebration. A quiet meal and a large reunion will need different choices. Still, the people in front of the camera deserve more attention than the pictures inside it. An album can show who stood beside us. Only taking part allows us to find out what they thought, what made them laugh and how it felt to be together. 18. What problem is described in paragraph 3? A. Children refuse to sing for relatives. B. Recording receives more attention than people. C. Guests cannot hear music clearly enough. D. Phones fail during an important performance. 19. Why does the writer mention contacting someone at home? A. To explain why a complete ban may be unsuitable. B. To show why guests should leave a party early. C. To advise families to buy phones for children. D. To suggest that calls should replace family visits. 20. Which suggestion does the writer make? A. Ask each guest to record every activity. B. Repeat funny moments until pictures look right. C. Save all group photos for the end. D. Let a volunteer take some natural photos. 21. What would the writer probably agree with? A. Photos should support shared experiences. B. Large reunions need a fixed photo limit. C. Good albums require carefully repeated scenes. D. Keeping phones outside suits every gathering. 三、完形填空 A Every autumn, Owen’s family celebrated the end of the gardening season with apple biscuits. This year, Grandma was visiting her sister, and Owen offered to make them. But the old ___22___ was missing. He searched every drawer and ___23___ in the kitchen without finding it. Owen felt ___24___. The guests would arrive that afternoon, and he wanted everything to taste familiar. He called Grandma. She could not remember the exact amounts, but she ___25___ rubbing the butter into the flour and adding small pieces of apple. “Your dad used to help,” she said. “Ask him too.” Dad remembered that the mixture should feel soft. Owen’s sister remembered a little cinnamon. Together, they made a small batch. Owen added the milk ___26___, checking the mixture after each spoonful. The first biscuits were too hard, so they made the next batch ___27___. No one agreed that the taste was exactly the same as Grandma’s, but everyone wanted a second biscuit.

In earlier years, volunteers had delivered a card to every house. Nathan suggested an online notice instead. It could include a map, photographs and a form for choosing food. The adults agreed to try it, and Nathan felt ___32___ when the first replies arrived. Within two days, most families had answered. Nathan counted the replies and told the organiser that they could save time and ___33___ this year. He even added a page where neighbours could offer help. Soon there were enough people to carry tables, lead games and clean the hall afterwards. Everything seemed ready. On the afternoon of the celebration, Nathan noticed an ___34___ chair beside his mother. Mrs Ellis, who lived at the end of the street, usually sat there. He had expected her to bring her famous lemon cake. When he knocked on her door, she was watering a plant in the kitchen. “I thought it was next weekend,” she said. “Has the date changed?” Nathan explained the online notice. Mrs Ellis had a phone, but she used it mainly for calls. She had not seen the ___35___ in the street’s group. Nathan suddenly felt ___36___. He had checked how many people replied, but not who was missing. He wanted to give a long explanation about how useful the new system was. Instead, he ___37___ while Mrs Ellis described the paper invitations she kept in a kitchen drawer. On the back of each one, she had written something funny that happened at that year’s celebration. To her, they were more than notices. Nathan helped her bring the cake to the hall. Later, he asked the organiser to offer neighbours a ___38___ next year: an online invitation, a printed one, or both. He would also ask a volunteer to contact anyone who had not replied. The following summer, Nathan still made the online page. But before marking the job as finished, he ___39___ every name on the street list. Then he walked to Mrs Ellis’s house with a card.
