In my childhood, my mother spent her evening hours doing something for someone else．Sometimes she knitted(编织) hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors．Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when one evening my mother announced she had undertaken a new project.

“I am going to telephone seniors,” said my mother．“Every night? But you don’t even know these people.” “It doesn’t matter,” she said．“What’s important is that I listen.” I was sixteen years old and couldn’t understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers．She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely．“They will talk your ear off．Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath,” I said.

My attitude didn’t stop my mother’s enthusiasm for the project．That evening, I listened as she asked the woman on the other line about her day and what she had eaten for dinner．When she finished the call, I said, “Why do you care whether she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert?” My mother said, “I’m the only person she talked to today.”

It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement．Now, as my mother is nearing eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make．I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day．I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the refrigerator．I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines, which ensured housebound seniors to keep in touch with the world．Without her, their world would have been empty.

14．What is the mother’s purpose of calling the seniors?

A．To improve their living conditions.

B．To know what they eat for dinner.

C．To make them feel less lonely.

D．To teach them how to make meals.

15．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．They will talk all the time on the phone.

B．They will blame others’ improper behaviors.

C．They will be tired of listening to others.

D．They will make you feel really satisfied.

16．Why did the author change his/her attitude towards mother’s call?

A．Because the author is becoming older.

B．Because the author’s mother is becoming older.

C．Because the author started to do the same thing.

D．Because the author realized the value of her mother’s efforts.

17．What is the suitable title for the passage?

A．Call your parents often

B．Mother’s evenings

C．Mother’s new project

D．Nightly calls, lifeline calls

C

It was last January, when I’d just finished a charity activity and was on the train back home, that I put down my phone and started writing thank-you notes to people who had helped.

When I got off the train, I felt amazingly good．The next day, I wrote more thank-yous and felt good again．I suddenly had the idea: Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year?

To keep on task, I decided to pick out a different theme for each month．January was charity．February would be neighbors．And I thought of a number of names right away: the owner of our local bookstore, who let me and my little son in before the store opened; our babysitter, who took good care of our kids; …

While writing the notes, I realized how often I had spent my time on the phone appreciating（欣赏）other people’s lives．Writing thank-you notes allowed me to do something different, paying more attention to my own life.

In the following months, I wrote to my friends, doctors, teachers and parenting role models．In July, my “food” month, I wrote to Julie, who used to cook at my favorite restaurant．It went like this:

Dear Julie,

Thank you for hosting and cooking beautiful and thoughtful food．Jake and I never forget when you sent out biscuits shaped into the number VI for our sixth anniversary（周年纪念日）．We talk about it every year.

Thank you．We miss you.

Love,

Gina

I was happy to receive a note back from her．Julie replied, “I don’t think I’ve ever received such a touching letter before．I’m undergoing a hard life change right now, and this helps.”

On December 31, I wrote my last card to Jake, my husband, and our two kids．And I took a picture of us, so I could remember the feeling welling up inside me．Thankfulness.

18．What does the underlined word “undergoing” mean?

A．Go down.         B．Go through.            C．Go against.             D．Go beyond.

19．How did Julie most probably feel after reading the note from Gina?

A．Shy and surprised．

B．Pleased and relaxed.

C．Nervous and excited.

D．Moved and encouraged.

20．What might be the theme of the December notes?

A．Family.            B．Photos.                  C．Holidays.                D．Community.

21．What did Gina get by doing her task according to the passage?

A．Many thanks from her neighbors.

B．More time to appreciate her own life.

C．More help from people around her.

D．Happy moments to be with her friends.

D

Along with firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, tea is considered one of the seven necessities for life in China．Now, it has also won global recognition as a shared cultural treasure of mankind.

________．On the app Xiaohongshu, or Little Red Book, there are over 40,000 posts on the topic of “stove-boiled tea” (围炉煮茶)．They lightly roast tea leaves before boiling them in a teapot on a stove．People sit around the stove in a natural setting and have snacks with their hot tea．Some also wear traditional hanfu as if it could take them back to those ancient times．Through “stove-boiled tea”, people can taste a slower life and find their inner peace．As is written in one Xiaohongshu post, “It is very relaxing to drink hot tea, feel the fall breeze, and chat with best friends.”

22．The writer introduces the topic by ________.

A．asking questions      B．listing numbers      C．telling stories      D．stating facts

Firefighting (消防) is an important job to keep people safe and help stop fires from damaging (毁坏) too much property (财产).

There are many important parts to be a firefighter．First of all firefighters have to be strong enough to do their work, so they need to have physical training, such as carrying heavy objects, going up many stairs (楼梯), and working for a long time．Firefighters also have to know the latest skills in fighting fires, so they need to go through regular training to keep themselves and others safe．Anyway, the most important part of being a firefighter is to work as a team．They have to work together to stop fires!

Firefighters don’t just fight house fires．They also help people who are in accidents．For example they use their special tools to help get people out of the cars if they’re stuck (卡住)．In some places, firefighters also have to be prepared to help people who are sick or injured (受伤的)．These firefighters might be trained as nursing staff.

1．C    2．A    3．D    4．A    5．B

【导语】本文主要讲述了作者被一位女士激发了跑步的兴趣，决心下一年参加为癌症募捐的跑步活动。于是作者开始每天练习跑步，一年之后作者终于完成了全程的赛跑，作者从这次经历想告诉读者：只要坚持，什么都会变成可能。

1．句意：我是小学体育课上跑得最慢的女孩。

fastest最快的；hardest最难的；slowest最慢的；best最好的。根据“I never thought I would be a ‘runner’”可知，从来没想过自己能成为一名“赛跑者”，因为以前的自己跑得很慢，故选C。

2．句意：几年后，我和一群朋友在“治愈赛跑”中散步，这是一个为抗击癌症筹集资金的5公里比赛，这时一位女士吸引了我的注意。
