B两篇短文, 从各小题所给的四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的一个最佳答案。 (共10小题, 计20分) A A Promise in the Sand Imagine a place where there was nothing but sand and wind. That was the Mu Us Desert (毛乌素沙漠) in Inner Mongolia, China, over 30 years ago. But one woman, Yin Yuzhen, made a big promise: she would rum the desert into a forest. Life in the desert was really difficult at that time. Strong winds blew sand everywhere. Sand even piled against her door. However, Yin Yuzhen never gave up. In order to change the environment, she spent almost every day fighting the desert. Sometimes she had little to eat, but she kept working. In 1999, something amazing happened. An American teacher named Ronald Sakolsky learned about her story. Deeply moved by Yin Yuzhen’s efforts (努力) to plant trees, he decided to help her. Then, Sakolsky raised $5, 000 and gave all the money to Yin Yuzhen. This money was important for Yin. She just kept one dollar as a reminder of his kindness. And the rest of the money was used to buy better tools and seeds (种子). Later, Sakolsky visited Yin’s room in 2000, but sadly, they lost touch for many years. Over the next 26 years, those seeds slowly grew into a forest of more than 50, 000 green trees! For all those years, Yin Yuzhen never forgot the kindness from Sakolsky. She always wanted to meet him in person and then posted a video to look for her old friend. In 2026, with the help of the Internet, she found him. On August 23. Sakolsky flew from the United States to meet her. When the desert turned green, these two finally met again. Yin Yuzhen learned some warm words just for her old friend Sakolsky, like “welcome” and “brother.” She made him traditional Chinese steamed buns (蒸) and showed him around the greener zone. Sakolsky said, “Yin Yuzhen is the real hero I am just a small person. She is the one who helped turn a desert into a forest.” Their story shows us that a simple act of kindness can cross oceans and last a lifetime. When we work together, we can make the world a greener and better place. 26. According to the passage, what kind of person is Yin Yuzhen? A. Brave and rich B. Strong-willed and thankful C. Funny and outgoing D. Quiet and shy 27. Put the following events in the correct order. ① Yin Yuzhen and Sakolsky met each other in person. ② Sakolsky raised $5, 000 and gave it to Yin Yuzhen. ③ Yin Yuzhen made a promise to turn the desert into a forest. ④ Yin Yuzhen used the money to buy tree seeds and planted them. A. ①④②③ B. ④①③② C. ②③①④ D. ③②④① 28. Which of the following is TRUE? A. Sakolsky went to China in 1999 to meet Yin Yuzhen. B. Yin Yuzhen spent all the $5,000 buying tree seeds. C. Yin Yuzhen treated Sakolsky with traditional Chinese food when they met again. D. Sakolsky thought he was the real hero just like Yin Yuzhen. 29. We can learn from this nascence that________. A. Money is the most important thing in life. B. It is easy to turn a desert into a forest. C. Kindness and hard work can make great changes to the world. D. People should never accept help from strangers. 30. What type of the passage is it? A. A notice B. A narrative story C. A diary D. A science report B In a small city far away from China, there was a Chinese restaurant called the Dragon Restaurant. To many people, it was just a place to enjoy Chinese food. However, in difficult times, it became a place full of kindness, courage and hope. Xu Fu, a Chinese cook from Northeast China, came to the Middle East to make a living. At first, he did not care much about local people’s lives. He just hoped to make enough money and then go back home as soon as possible. At the Dragon Restaurant, Xu Fu met his partner Ma Junsheng. Although they had different personalities, they worked well together. Xu Fu was good at cooking traditional Chinese dishes, while Ma was good with customers. Gradually, they made the restaurant more and more popular. However, a war suddenly broke out in the city. Many people lost their families, and some children became homeless. The dangerous situation changed the lives of everyone around them. When Xu Fu saw the helpless children and the dead in the war zone (战区), he began to question his own choice. Slowly, he realized that protecting those children was hugely important. The restaurant was no longer a place where people bought food. It became a temporary (临时的) home for people who needed care and support. Xu and Ma offered meals to local children and encouraged them to believe that peace would come one day. Through this experience, Xu Fu learned that everyone has the ability to help others. A person does not need to be rich or powerful to change the world. Everyone can bring great hope to anyone in need. 31. Where does the story take place? A. In Northeast China. B. In the Middle East. C. In America. D. In Western Europe. 32. Why did Xu Fu just focus on making money at first? A. Because he expected to make friends with local customers. B. Because he wanted to help more homeless children in the war. C. Because he planned to earn more money and return home soon. D. Because he enjoyed the comfortable life in the foreign country. 33. What can we infer from Xu Fu and Ma Junsheng’s different personalities? A. Their different abilities helped the restaurant work well. B. Their different opinions caused serious problems for the restaurant. C. Their differences made it difficult for them to understand each other. D. Their differences stopped them from making decisions together. 34. What was the most important reason for Xu Fu’s change during the war? A. He thought that there was no hope of going home. B. He worried that helping people would hurt him. C. He realized that protecting those poor children was meaningful. D. He found that helping others could bring more customers to the restaurant. 35. Why does the writer describe the Dragon Restaurant as “a temporary home”? A. To show that people liked living in restaurants better. B. To explain that the restaurant stopped selling food at that time. C. To explain that Xu Fu and Ma Junsheng wanted to change their business. D. To show that the restaurant became a place full of kindness, courage and hope. 第二节: (共5小题.计10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。(有两项为多余选项) China is a country with a long history.

VI. 任务型阅读 (共5小题, 计10分) 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。 Perler beads, also called pindou in Chinese, are suddenly everywhere in China. People use tiny plastic beads to make animals, flowers, cartoon characters, and even famous buildings. To create a piece of work, we need to choose or design patterns (图案) first. Then place beads on special boards. When the board is full, it’s time to heat the beads so that they can stick together. It is said that, in the 1970s, perler beads were first created to help the elderly feel less lonely during long winters in Sweden. Now Chinese young people can either make their own creations at home or enjoy the fun activity in workshops. Why is it so popular? Firstly, it is cheap and easy to learn for almost everyone. Even primary school students can finish a lovely piece of work in a short time. Secondly, it brings great mental benefits. When fully focusing on placing beads, people will forget their daily worries and stress. Once people finish the work, they will feel proud of themselves. Most importantly, it serves as a social tool, so young people can make new friends with the same hobby. Yang Hetong, 15, is an enthusiast of pindou. “I have made many things, such as keychains, and they are not just cute but also useful.” she said. Playing with pindou is a fun way to create, relax, and connect with others. However, spending too much time on this activity can harm our eyes. And strong plastic fumes (气味) may come from those unsafe materials. Besides the health problems above, we also need to remember these tips: choose good quality beads, use heating tools carefully to avoid burns (烧伤), and keep the window open when heating. 61. What is the first step to make a piece of perler beads work? The first step is _________________. 62. Where were perler beads first created in the 1970s? They were first used _________________. 63. Which word  in the passage has the similar meaning to “a big fan”? It is “_________________”. 64. According to the passage, there are _________________ reasons for the popularity of pindou. 65.

For years she has been helping kids who feel lonely make friends. What she was doing was running the Buddy Bench (伙伴长椅) program. She started it when she was in the third grade, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The idea was that anyone at school who was feeling lonely could sit on the “buddy bench”. That let other kids know someone needed a friend. “It’s really helpful to have other people be able to notice you,” Sammie says. The idea quickly caught on, The bench brought kids together. Since then, Sammie has helped communities all over the country set up buddy benches. “It means a lot to me, she says, "and this is making a difference in people’s lives.” Sammie got the idea for the Buddy Bench program at summer camp in 2017. She thought it would be cool to have a buddy bench in her school, so she presented the idea to her principal, her teachers, and her parents. Getting approval (批准) for the project was just the first step. “There have been a lot of small challenges, like money.” Sammie says. To reduce costs and be eco-friendly, she asked her community to collect bottle caps. Soon Sammie was getting caps from people in 50 states. She even got them from people in Germany, the Netherlands, and other countries. In the end, she collected more than 1,200 pounds of bottle caps. A company was able to make these into three benches. Sammie says the effort has helped her overcome personal challenges. “I used to be really, really shy,” she says. “I’m much more outgoing now.” What Sammie’s work shows is that we don’t have to be an adult to make a difference. Even small acts of kindness can be powerful. She says, “Just be kind.” 72. What’s the purpose of the Buddy Bench program? A. To raise money for sick children B. To help lonely children make friends. C. To offer old people a seat to have a rest D. To remind others to save our environment 73. Which paragraphs tell us how Sammie built a bench in her school? A. Paragraphs 2-3 B. Paragraphs 3-5 C. Paragraphs 4-6 D. Paragraphs 5-6 74. Sammie; s benches are made out of________. A. recycled materials B. eco-friendly bottles C. wood collected in the world D. old benches of a company 75.
