For Canaan Elementary's second grade in Patchogue, N. Y., today is speech day, and right now it's Chris Palaez's turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.
But he's nervous. "I'm here to tell you today why you should... should..." Chris trips on the "-ld," a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support."…Vote for... me..." Except for some stumbles Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
A son of immigrants, Chris started learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls (回想起) how at the beginning of the year, when called upon to read, Chirs would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. "It takes a lot for any student," Whaley explains, "especially for a student who is learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say, 'I don't know, but I want to know.'"
Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast (夸耀) about themselves.
"Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities," Whaley says, "is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident."
4.What made Chris nervous
A.Telling a story. B.Making a speech.
C.Taking a test. D.Answering a question.
5.What does the underlined word "stumbles" in paragraph 2 refer to
A.Improper pauses. B.Bad manners. C.Spelling mistakes. D.Silly jokes.
6.We can infer that the purpose of Whaley's project is to __________.
A.help students see their own strengths B.assess students' public speaking skills
C.prepare students for their future jobs D.inspire students' love for politics
7.Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher
A.Humorous. B.Ambitious. C.Caring. D.Demanding.
C
The Wuhan Institute of Shipbuilding Technology was used as a quarantine site (隔离区) from February 8 to March 28. Cheng Shining, a junior of Central China Normal University in Wuhan, was responsible for collecting and distributing supplies for quarantined people and medical staff. As the youngest volunteer at this site, he also chose to live there so that he could show up whenever he was needed.
One day Cheng and two other volunteers spent more than 3 hours moving all 1,462 boxes of mineral water to storage with 50 firemen's help. Cheng says, "A single person's strength is limited, but we know the whole country is helping us."
Cheng was a volunteer for the Military World Games held in Wuhan last October. It was the first time he had seen his hometown under the world's spotlight. "I've experienced the highlight of Wuhan, and now when my hometown touches a low point, I pray that I can get through the difficulty together with the city," Cheng says.
Like Cheng, 28-year-old Wuhan local Zhu Aobing also volunteered to help his home city. He signed up right away to be a volunteer for the vaccine. A total of 108 Wuhan locals became the first group of COVID-19 vaccine volunteers in March. They were healthy adults aged from 18 to 60 selected from thousands of people who applied.
"Since the lockdown, I've always been thinking what I can do for my hometown during the epidemic," he says. Zhu is a freshman of Hubei University of Technology in Wuhan. He joined the army when he was 18 years old and served for five years. However, Zhu didn't want to miss the chance to study further, so he decided to go to college last year.
"No matter how long I have finished my military service, I always have the responsibility to go to the front line when the country needs me, and when facing this pandemic (流行病), being a vaccine volunteer is what I should do," he says.
8.What words can be used to describe Cheng when he is talking about the help from the firemen
A.Negative and serious. B.Generous and excited.
C.Appreciative and optimistic. D.Cautious and supportive.
9.How did Zhu help his home city
A.By serving the Military World Games. B.By helping run a quarantine site.
C.By studying further in college. D.By being a vaccine volunteer.
10.What do Cheng and Zhu have in common
A.They are Wuhan locals. B.They served in the army.
C.They are of the same age. D.They graduated from university.
11.What is the purpose of this passage
A.To compare two people. B.To tell two volunteers' stories.
C.To present an argument. D.To report a piece of news.
D
I wanted to be a journalist. But my parents reminded me that maths makes money, so off to an engineering school I went. In my post-university young-adult life, I've managed to become "conventionally successful". As a female engineer, I worked for a big oil company and owned a home. My life was laid out in front of me, and I didn't like what I saw.
So, I did what any respectable 24-year-old would do and left my life behind. I said goodbye to my boyfriend and pulled out my suitcase. I threw myself alone into the world with the grace and beauty of a baby deer taking its first steps with skateboards under its feet. I bloodied my knees riding a mountain bike through the red rocks of Utah. I went to a thermal (温暖的) bath party in Budapest. I spent four days trudging (费力地走) through Yellowstone with 50 pounds on my back. Two Peruvian women along my Andean trek taught me how to roast coffee and helped me practise Spanish. It wasn't Vienna's cultural museums; it was a sunny patch of grass beside the Danube river with someone from my hostel who quickly became a friend. It wasn't Yellowstone's Old Faithful Geyser (老实泉) launching into the air; it was charging through Montana's ordinary landscape playing music so loud that the car windows shook. The truth is that I didn't actually need to be abroad to have almost any of my favourite experiences. They were just small everyday moments that happened to happen abroad, leading me to realise that the true value of my flight tickets was not the landmarks, but rather becoming an active participant in my own life.
I now spend less time shopping online and more time lying alone on the floor listening to an album cover-to-cover. I ask my friends how they're doing; sometimes, I surprise them with flowers to see them smile. I tell everyone to have a good day.
Maybe I'll continue to be selfish for the next five years and touch down in more countries. Maybe I'll stay grounded in my home city, but the idea no longer bothers me. Armed with new wisdom earned in a year of travel, I know with complete confidence that there're adventures hiding in any aspect of my life—as long as I'm awake enough to look for them.
12. What can we know about the author from the first paragraph
A. She preferred maths to journalism. B. She found her work challenging.
C. She was dissatisfied with her life. D. She dare not challenge her parents.
13. Why did the author list the journeys she went on
A. To introduce the landmarks she loved. B. To prove the importance of travel.
C. To express her joy of being with new friends. D. To show what she learnt from these journeys.
14. How has the travel probably changed the author according to the text
A. She has become more independent.
B. She begins to value her family's opinion.
C. She begins to enjoy her daily life more.
D. She has become more interested in foreign cultures.
15. What message does the author want to convey through this article
A. We shouldn't pay attention to what others say.
B. We shouldn't think life is better elsewhere.
C. It's necessary to get out of your comfort zone.
D. Interest is the best teacher in choosing jobs.

I walked to Mrs Windsor's house and waited outside. She was working with another student, and I was not supposed to bother them by ringing the bell. I stood against the wall and daydreamed what I'd rather be doing. I had been tutored enough to read, understand, and even write some musical compositions, but I just didn't have a gift for it. Mrs Windsor had offered to give me the lessons for free, so I felt it my duty to try.
The door opened and Wendy Barton came out. I walked in, sat down on the piano bench and began to sort through my sheet music. Today Mrs Windsor introduced her niece Pasha to teach me.
With a smile, Pasha sat beside me on the piano bench, opened my sheet music to the beginning page and asked me to play. I arranged my fingers on the keys. Then I frowned (皱眉) and concentrated to make the noteson the page match the finger movements. I had to admit I was a rather mechanical (不加思考的) pianist.
After about a page or two, Pasha gently put her hand on top of mine as if to calm my fingers. There was a long pause. "What are you hearing in the music " I looked at her rather strangely and admitted I didn't know what she meant. "Like a story. Here, let me try and you listen," Pasha advised.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, letting her fingers dance lightly over the keys. Then, she began to play. "See, it begins here beside some kind of river. Hear the water flowing beside you " Her fingers rose and fell gently on the keys. "Now a princess appears and she's picking flowers from the water's edge." A happy piece of music filled the air in time to Pasha's dancing fingers.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。

答案: Suddenly the music changed. With her fingers hitting the keys harder, I sensed something dangerous getting closer to the princess. "Now the princess has slipped into the river and is being carried away by the rough water." Pasha explained. At this moment, I felt myself sweating all over and my heart was beating faster. After a while, the pace of the music became slower and slower. "What is happening " I asked. "The princess is saved by a fisherman." She I smiled. Hearing these words, I let out a sigh of relief.
That day means a lot in my musical life. Pasha's teaching way I made a great difference to my understanding of music. Actually, it was her story that made me fall in love with music. Nowadays, whenever I play a piece of music on the piano, I become completely I lost in my music. I know that I'm not only playing the music to the audience, but also creating a world that listens to my stories.
