In a world where acts of kindness often go unnoticed, a good story that has been discovered reminds us of the power of care and the effect it can have on someone’s life.
It all started with a “Kindness Week Challenge” given to Brennan by his 8th-grade teacher, Ms. Watkins. Little did he know that this challenge would lead to a wonderful friendship with 84-year-old Ms. Ann.
Brennan’s promise to send his little attractive things every day for a week developed a habit of checking up on Ms. Ann and sending gifts regularly(定期地), long after the challenge was over.
Their friendship has now lasted for over five years, and Brennan still visits Ms. Ann every month with flowers, cakes, chocolates, cards and more.
They talk about everything from his high school life to his college goals. The pair has found that they share a common love of chocolates. Ms. Ann always hopes to hear about what he’s doing and loves to share her own stories from a different time. They have become the best friends, with Brennan treating her as his great-grandmother.
Brennan’s mom, Traci, takes pride in her son. She said, “The best thing a teenager can do is to take care of the elderly. I’m so glad my son has added more sunshine to Ms. Ann’s life. I hope he always remembers the joy he’s brought her, and his fun talks with her, keeps his kind heart, and thinks of others.”
Ms. Ann’s daughter Emma, with her husband Gould, has a 2-year-old son. They are thankful for Brennan’s friendship as they cannot always be with Ms. Ann. Brennan’s kind heart has brought more sunshine into Ms. Ann’s life, and her encouraging words have helped to inspire(启发)him in return.

After entering high school, you may find there are many clubs at your school. You may think you’re too busy to join one. But as a former high school student, I can tell you joining a school club can greatly profit you.
Your old friends may have left you after entering high school. And it means you need to meet new people. Joining a club allows you to talk with others and find those who have similar interests as you. Based on my experience, I have met some of my best friends from club activities, which opened up many new doors for me.
Another really nice thing about joining a club is that it looks really good on college applications. Trying new things is something that looks really good on any application. Outgoing is considered a very good quality which shows that you are determined and ready to put yourself out there and best of all try new things. Furthermore, it can help you develop skills that can serve you during future college interviews.
Besides, joining a club can make students use their free time wisely. Most teens go to schools, then go back home and spend the rest of the day in front of a screen. Teens are also very likely to fall into the wrong crowd, which could lead to some bad results. Clubs are good places to spend time with good people to fall back on.
The most important reason why you should join a club is the long-term benefits ( 益 处 ) it brings.The classroom isn’t the only learning environment in a school. The skills you learn in clubs are necessary ones that can be used in everyday life, which I think is the final goal of joining a club. Things such as meeting and speaking to new people, making the most of time, and being organized are those you will meet every single day of your life, but you can learn all of them in clubs.
So if you haven’t joined a school club yet, you know what you should do now.
8. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “profit”in paragraph 1
A. Cheer up. B. Go against. C. Make use of. D. Be good for.
9. What do colleges think highly of according to the text
A. The number of clubs you have joined. B. The strong relationships you have built.
C. The bright personality you have developed. D. The similar interests you share with other students.
10. What is the best title for the text
A. Why Should You Join a Club B. What Club Should You Join
C. How Can You Join a Club You Like D. Should You Join a Second Club
11. In which section of a magazine may this text appear
A. Health. B. School life. C. Culture. D. Social work.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】

Three years ago, I made a journey from New York to London, with my daughter to see my mother. To my relief, the travel was far easier than I expected: the airports were empty, the plane was half-full and the airline staff kindly provided food and wine, which I drank greedily with a straw (吸管) while wearing the required face mask. What I did not expect was to be hit with a culture shock on arrival in London.
In New York, face masks are now an inseparable (不可分离的) part of life. Street signs declare “OUTSIDE WITH NO MASK FORGET ABOUT IT!” Buildings carry more polite notices warning that anyone without a mask is banned (禁止). And even without them, almost everyone I see on the streets in my corner of Manhattan has their face covered. Strangers sometimes shout angrily at people who do not.
Indeed, there is such a strong sense of social pressure that in recent months I have worn a mask even when cycling alone, along Manhattan’s East river. And my daughter has taken to shopping online for “fashion masks”.
But not so in London. A new report issued by the Royal Society and the British Academy shows that, at the end of April, just 25 percent of Brits wore face masks in public places compared with 66 percent of Americans. We saw this for ourselves: in London, we appeared to be almost the only people wearing masks on the streets or in shops; even on public transport some seem to reject (拒绝) them.
Simon Roberts explains powerfully in a timely new book the Power of not Thinking. Habits matter deeply, but we hardly notice them — unless we travel. After a few days in London, I have started to “forget” my mask when I go outside. When I return to New York, I will have to relearn my habits all over again.
12. What does the underlined phrase “culture shock” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to
A. The loss of culture. B. Confusion and difference.
C. The face mask. D. A huge welcome.
13. Which word best describes New Yorkers’ attitude towards mask wearing
A. Serious. B. Indifferent. C. Annoyed. D. Doubtful.
14. In terms of mask wearing, which is the difference between Londoners and New Yorkers
A. Londoners think mask wearing is only necessary on public transport.
B. None of the Londoners likes the idea of mask wearing.
C. New Yorkers should wear masks even if alone.
D. New Yorkers would react strongly to people without masks.
15. Why does the author mention the book the Power of not Thinking
A. To stress the importance of realizing one’s habits with environmental changes.
B. To help people understand that each country has its own unique culture.
C. To encourage people to travel and explore the world.
D. To explain why there’s a culture shock.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A
【解析】

【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Three years ago, I made a journey from New York to London, with my daughter to see my mother.(三年前，我带着女儿从纽约到伦敦去看望母亲)”可知，作者来自纽约，根据第二段“In New York, face masks are now an inseparable (不可分离的) part of life. Street signs declare “OUTSIDE WITH NO MASK FORGET ABOUT IT!” Buildings carry more polite notices warning that anyone without a mask is banned (禁止).(在纽约，口罩现在是生活中不可分割的一部分。路牌上写着“外出不戴口罩？算了吧！”建筑物上有更多礼貌的告示，警告没有口罩的人禁止进入)”可知纽约对待戴口罩问题很严肃，根据倒数第二段“We saw this for ourselves: in London, we appeared to be almost the only people wearing masks on the streets or in shops; even on public transport some seem to reject (拒绝) them.(我们亲眼看到了这一点：在伦敦，我们似乎是街上或商店里唯一戴口罩的人；甚至在公共交通工具上，一些人似乎也拒绝使用它们)”可知，伦敦人对戴口罩没那么严肃，所以作者来到纽约感到了困惑和不同。故划线词指的是“困惑和不同”。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“In New York, face masks are now an inseparable (不可分离的) part of life. Street signs declare “OUTSIDE WITH NO MASK FORGET ABOUT IT!” Buildings carry more polite notices warning that anyone without a mask is banned (禁止).(在纽约，口罩现在是生活中不可分割的一部分。路牌上写着“外出不戴口罩？算了吧！”建筑物上有更多礼貌的告示，警告没有口罩的人禁止进入)”可推知，纽约人对戴口罩很严肃。故选A。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The Class Poet(诗人)
When Thanksgiving Day was approaching (临近), my primary school decided to celebrate(庆祝 ) by presenting shows with dancing and singing that all students could join in. Parents would also be invited to watch.
One afternoon, my teacher called me into his office. He said with a smile, “Nancy, could you write a poem (诗) and read it during the coming event ” “Of course,” I answered excitedly. I had loved poetry since fifth grade. When my first poem was published, my friends and teachers started to describe me as the class poet.
I left the schoolmaster’s office that afternoon feeling quite happy. Then, for weeks, I worked on my poem, carefully designing the content, structure and sound. I practiced reciting(朗诵)it aloud every day.
When the evening for the event finally came, I was ready. Well, I was ready until I looked around and realized how many people there were in the school hall. How could I present my poem in front of more than 400 people I was just a seventh-grader. No one would take my work seriously. What was worse, I had never spoken in front of a huge crowd before. I sat in my chair, wanting to bury(隐藏) myself. Maybe they would forget I was supposed to read.
“Hey, Nancie, I saw your name in the program. Good luck,” my little brother shouted. His voice rose as he took his seat a few rows (排)down with his class. I nodded (点头), struggling to keep calm. I knew my parents were somewhere in the hall. Before long, the lights faded (暗下来), the crowd went quiet, and the schoolmaster got on stage to introduce the list of performers. My name was at the end of the list, so I had to sit through an hour of absolute anxiety.
It wasn’t until the students from the fourth grade were singing that my teacher led me downstairs to the area next to the stage. My mind was blank (空白的). Then suddenly, I was on stage with the bright white lights blinding (使眼花) my view of the audience. When I walked to the microphone in the center of the stage, I somehow tripped (绊倒) over something and stupidly fell down. All of the kids burst into laughter.

I was about to run away when my teacher came up to me

When I finished my reading, the hall was silent at first.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
I was about to run away when my teacher came up to me. He joked that I had fallen because I was eager to bow to the audience. His humor helped me deal with my embarrassment. Then he invited the audience to clap. Feeling less nervous, I took the microphone and cleared my throat before reading the title. Surprisingly, my voice sounded clear and loud. The hall was silent. I continued reading, with words coming out in the right order and lines flowing together appropriately.
When I finished my reading, the hall was silent at first. With sweat running down my forehead, I bit my lip nervously. Maybe no one liked my poem. Then, out of the silence, there was clapping and cheering. I looked for my parents in the sea of faces, and saw my mother wiping away tears and my father smiling. With a light-headed feeling and a happy smile, I bowed slightly and walked off the stage. I greeted each person I met when going back to my seat, with relief and gratitude spreading warmly through my body.

In a world where acts of kindness often go unnoticed, a good story that has been discovered reminds us of the power of care and the effect it can have on someone’s life.
It all started with a “Kindness Week Challenge” given to Brennan by his 8th-grade teacher, Ms. Watkins. Little did he know that this challenge would lead to a wonderful friendship with 84-year-old Ms. Ann.
Brennan’s promise to send his little attractive things every day for a week developed a habit of checking up on Ms. Ann and sending gifts regularly(定期地), long after the challenge was over.
Their friendship has now lasted for over five years, and Brennan still visits Ms. Ann every month with flowers, cakes, chocolates, cards and more.
They talk about everything from his high school life to his college goals. The pair has found that they share a common love of chocolates. Ms. Ann always hopes to hear about what he’s doing and loves to share her own stories from a different time. They have become the best friends, with Brennan treating her as his great-grandmother.
Brennan’s mom, Traci, takes pride in her son. She said, “The best thing a teenager can do is to take care of the elderly. I’m so glad my son has added more sunshine to Ms. Ann’s life. I hope he always remembers the joy he’s brought her, and his fun talks with her, keeps his kind heart, and thinks of others.”
Ms. Ann’s daughter Emma, with her husband Gould, has a 2-year-old son. They are thankful for Brennan’s friendship as they cannot always be with Ms. Ann. Brennan’s kind heart has brought more sunshine into Ms. Ann’s life, and her encouraging words have helped to inspire(启发)him in return.
4. How did the task “Kindness Week Challenge” affect Brennan
A. He discovered his love of chocolates.
B. He became a good friend of Ms. Ann.
C. He developed a habit of receiving gifts.
D. He learned how to choose attractive things.
5. What do Brennan and Ms. Ann both like
A. Flowers. B. Cakes. C. Chocolates. D. Cards.
6. What makes Traci feel proud of Brennan
A. His kindness to others.
B. His talent for telling stories.
C. His good performances at school.
D. His ability to earn money for the gifts.
7. How do Ms. Ann’s family feel about Brennan
A. Worried. B. Sorry. C. Thankful. D. Surprised.
C
After entering high school, you may find there are many clubs at your school. You may think you’re too busy to join one. But as a former high school student, I can tell you joining a school club can greatly profit you.
Your old friends may have left you after entering high school. And it means you need to meet new people. Joining a club allows you to talk with others and find those who have similar interests as you. Based on my experience, I have met some of my best friends from club activities, which opened up many new doors for me.
Another really nice thing about joining a club is that it looks really good on college applications. Trying new things is something that looks really good on any application. Outgoing is considered a very good quality which shows that you are determined and ready to put yourself out there and best of all try new things. Furthermore, it can help you develop skills that can serve you during future college interviews.
Besides, joining a club can make students use their free time wisely. Most teens go to schools, then go back home and spend the rest of the day in front of a screen. Teens are also very likely to fall into the wrong crowd, which could lead to some bad results. Clubs are good places to spend time with good people to fall back on.
The most important reason why you should join a club is the long-term benefits ( 益 处 ) it brings.The classroom isn’t the only learning environment in a school. The skills you learn in clubs are necessary ones that can be used in everyday life, which I think is the final goal of joining a club. Things such as meeting and speaking to new people, making the most of time, and being organized are those you will meet every single day of your life, but you can learn all of them in clubs.
So if you haven’t joined a school club yet, you know what you should do now.
8. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “profit”in paragraph 1
A. Cheer up. B. Go against. C. Make use of. D. Be good for.
9. What do colleges think highly of according to the text
A. The number of clubs you have joined. B. The strong relationships you have built.
C. The bright personality you have developed. D. The similar interests you share with other students.
10. What is the best title for the text
A. Why Should You Join a Club B. What Club Should You Join
C. How Can You Join a Club You Like D. Should You Join a Second Club
11. In which section of a magazine may this text appear
A. Health. B. School life. C. Culture. D. Social work.
D
Three years ago, I made a journey from New York to London, with my daughter to see my mother. To my relief, the travel was far easier than I expected: the airports were empty, the plane was half-full and the airline staff kindly provided food and wine, which I drank greedily with a straw (吸管) while wearing the required face mask. What I did not expect was to be hit with a culture shock on arrival in London.
In New York, face masks are now an inseparable (不可分离的) part of life. Street signs declare “OUTSIDE WITH NO MASK FORGET ABOUT IT!” Buildings carry more polite notices warning that anyone without a mask is banned (禁止). And even without them, almost everyone I see on the streets in my corner of Manhattan has their face covered. Strangers sometimes shout angrily at people who do not.
Indeed, there is such a strong sense of social pressure that in recent months I have worn a mask even when cycling alone, along Manhattan’s East river. And my daughter has taken to shopping online for “fashion masks”.
But not so in London. A new report issued by the Royal Society and the British Academy shows that, at the end of April, just 25 percent of Brits wore face masks in public places compared with 66 percent of Americans. We saw this for ourselves: in London, we appeared to be almost the only people wearing masks on the streets or in shops; even on public transport some seem to reject (拒绝) them.
Simon Roberts explains powerfully in a timely new book the Power of not Thinking. Habits matter deeply but we hardly notice them — unless we travel. After a few days in London, I have started to “forget” my mask when I go outside. When I return to New York, I will have to relearn my habits all over again.
12. What does the underlined phrase “culture shock” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to
A. The loss of culture. B. Confusion and difference.
C. The face mask. D. A huge welcome.
13. Which word best describes New Yorkers’ attitude towards mask wearing
A. Serious. B. Indifferent. C. Annoyed. D. Doubtful.
14. In terms of mask wearing, which is the difference between Londoners and New Yorkers
A. Londoners think mask wearing is only necessary on public transport.
B. None of the Londoners likes the idea of mask wearing.
C. New Yorkers should wear masks even if alone.
D. New Yorkers would react strongly to people without masks.
15. Why does the author mention the book the Power of not Thinking
A. To stress the importance of realizing one’s habits with environmental changes.
B To help people understand that each country has its own unique culture.
C. To encourage people to travel and explore the world.
D. To explain why there’s a culture shock.

The Class Poet(诗人)
When Thanksgiving Day was approaching (临近), my primary school decided to celebrate(庆祝 ) by presenting shows with dancing and singing that all students could join in. Parents would also be invited to watch.
One afternoon, my teacher called me into his office. He said with a smile, “Nancy, could you write a poem (诗) and read it during the coming event ” “Of course,” I answered excitedly. I had loved poetry since fifth grade. When my first poem was published, my friends and teachers started to describe me as the class poet.
I left the schoolmaster’s office that afternoon feeling quite happy. Then, for weeks, I worked on my poem, carefully designing the content, structure and sound. I practiced reciting(朗诵)it aloud every day.
When the evening for the event finally came, I was ready. Well, I was ready until I looked around and realized how many people there were in the school hall. How could I present my poem in front of more than 400 people I was just a seventh-grader. No one would take my work seriously. What was worse, I had never spoken in front of a huge crowd before. I sat in my chair, wanting to bury(隐藏) myself. Maybe they would forget I was supposed to read.
“Hey, Nancie, I saw your name in the program. Good luck,” my little brother shouted. His voice rose as he took his seat a few rows (排)down with his class. I nodded (点头), struggling to keep calm. I knew my parents were somewhere in the hall. Before long, the lights faded (暗下来), the crowd went quiet, and the schoolmaster got on stage to introduce the list of performers. My name was at the end of the list, so I had to sit through an hour of absolute anxiety.
It wasn’t until the students from the fourth grade were singing that my teacher led me downstairs to the area next to the stage. My mind was blank (空白的). Then suddenly, I was on stage with the bright white lights blinding (使眼花) my view of the audience. When I walked to the microphone in the center of the stage, I somehow tripped (绊倒) over something and stupidly fell down. All of the kids burst into laughter.
