A 54-year-old homeless man Ernest McPherson goes around the small town of Meadow Lake to check up on homeless people sleeping in cars or abandoned (废弃的) buildings. He stays awake at night to make sure that other homeless people in his community survive (幸存) the cold winter nights.
As Meadow Lake doesn’t have any shelters (避难所) for the homeless, these people have nowhere to warm up at night. So McPherson tries to help them out by giving them some warm clothes, or taking them to the local convenience store to warm up a little.
The reason behind McPherson’s new-found role as a watch guard came after he nearly froze to death in a -38℃ snowstorm last year. “I lost direction and time, so I sat down for a minute, and thought I’d rest for a minute. I fell asleep. I had a guardian angel that night. She came and kicked me in the foot.”
Well, that kick is helping McPherson keep others alive. While last year he found shelter in an abandoned hotel, along with other homeless people, this year he has managed to raise $300 from his friends and has bought a truck camper. However, he describes the camper as an “ice box” so he says “until there’s a shelter, I’ll be here, patrolling (巡逻) every night.”
Thanks to his efforts, McPherson received the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medal for his public service. And the community is helping those living on the streets. Businesses have donated money, and the Door of Hope has been opened by The Meadow Outreach Ministries, giving 20-hour access (进入) to warmth each day.
For McPherson, he is happy to be recognised for everything that he’s done to help the homeless. McPherson continues to help those in need. His story reminds us of the importance of always looking for ways to help others, even if we’re faced with our own difficulties.
4. How does McPherson help homeless people at the winter nights
A. He invites them to his shelter. B. He buys new clothes for them.
C. He brings warmth to them. D. He gives money to them.
5. What made McPherson help the homeless
A. A similar experience in the past. B. Responsibilities as a watch guard.
C. His interest in a challenging job. D. Encouragement from his friends.
6. What is the result of McPherson’s efforts
A. Homeless population reduces. B. The homeless get more help.
C. McPherson finds more ways to help others. D. More homeless people help with public services.

“My goal is that the City of Atlanta becomes the best place in the United States to raise a family,” says Mayor (市长) Andre Dickens about the capital of Georgia.
Dickens grew up in Atlanta. Recently, he was asked about his main goals for this city of nearly 500,000 people. His focus, he said, is on the youth. For that reason, he told the public officially 2023 is the Year of the Youth.
“Whatever we do, we have to think about young people,” Dickens said. “Atlanta’s young people are our future. Continuing to invest (投资) in future generations puts them on pathways to success that will help us move Atlanta forward together.”
Dickens said that after he put forward the idea of the Year of the Youth, businesses, nonprofits, and other community members all said, “I want to be in on that.”
Businesses offer summer internship (实习) programs. They allow students in Atlanta to get valuable experience in the workplace. Dickens explained that several businesses in the city even made their working environments suitable for young people to join in internships.
Improving education is another key goal. Schools and city leaders have been working together to make their partnership in the service of young people stronger. Toward this end, the city is working to improve educational opportunities, create safe ways to school, and offer after-school activities for free or at little cost.
Dickens also believes that it’s important to invest in early education. Investing in early education, he explained, means that more young people will be able to develop basic skills, stopping them from falling behind later in life.
Dickens is looking forward to positive results. “Everyone’s getting ready to serve the young people over the summer,” he said.
8. Why does Dickens invest in future generations
A. To encourage the development of the city.
B. To draw more attention to young people.
C. To attract more youths to Atlanta.
D. To make Atlanta more famous.
9. Which of the following best describes the public’s opinion on the Year of the Youth
A. Worried. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Uncaring.
10. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The importance of internship for the youth.
B. Dickens’ suggestions to businesses.
C. How businesses help the youth.
D. Why businesses offer help.
11. What does the city government do to achieve positive results
A. It builds more schools for early education.
B. It cooperates with schools and businesses.
C. It asks more young people for their support.
D. It helps young people with personal problems.
D
Whether shyness is part of your child’s personality or just something they feel when they are in front of a group of strangers, it is a typical (典型的) experience. “Shyness isn’t always as socially valued as more outgoing personalities. However, we should step back and think about different personalities and their unique advantages,” said Pérez-Edgar, professor of psychology (心理学) at The Pennsylvania State University. “Everyone can feel shy at times. And those who are especially shy often have happy social lives—they just aren’t likely to be the liveliest person in a crowded room.”
But there are things to watch out for. “If your children are avoiding situations that are important or could be enjoyable for them because they’re feeling nervous, it might be time to take action,” said Chiappini, a child expert. “That could mean not speaking in class, trouble making friends, or not joining in activities they like,” she said.
Chiappini recommended first saying something like: “You seem a little nervous or unsure about who everyone is/what to say. We haven’t met them before and that can feel a little uncomfortable.” From there, you can encourage them to join someone or say something when they are ready—with the promise that you will be there to support them, she added.
The more we avoid situations where kids may feel shy, the more anxiety (担心) we will have about them in the future. But that doesn’t mean to push your child into the deep end.
“We may have to deal with the situation step by step. For example, you may have to encourage your child just to make eye contact during an outing before expecting them to ask someone a question,” Chiappini said.
12. What may Pérez-Edgar agree with
A. Shyness is not as bad as people have thought. B. Children are more likely to feel shy than adults.
C. Shy people like to stay with lively people. D. It’s difficult for people to get over shyness.
13. When should action be taken to help shy kids
A. When they ask for instructions from others. B. When they feel nervous in school activities.
C. When they try hard to mix with other children. D. When they are absent from important situations.
14. What does Chiappini advise parents to do at first
A. Tell their kids what they should say. B. Ask their kids how they are feeling.
C. Help their kids stay away from some situations. D. Show their kids they understand how they feel.
15. How should parents behave when helping their children fight shyness
A. Honestly. B. Strictly. C. Patiently. D. Confidently.

It was a Friday. Once the school bus dropped me off at my home, I ran quickly into the house. “Dad, I’m here. I’m ready!” I called out. He would drive me to the supermarket and then I would continue taking my driving courses. On the way to the supermarket, I told my dad I needed to get two pairs of shoes. “One pair is enough,” Dad replied.
Unhappy, I felt our car slow down, as he pulled up. “Dad, why are we stopping ” I asked. Dad said, “The lady back there looks like she’s in trouble.” I turned around, seeing a little, old truck pulled to the side of the highway. Dad told me there was a lady inside and that she was having trouble with the truck and needed some help. “Dad, why do we have to stop and help her Let somebody else do it,” I said, wanting to reach the supermarket quickly.
“Look, girl. Don’t be selfish (自私的),” he said seriously. “By helping this lady, there’s a great possibility that if you ever get stuck or need help, someone just might stop and help you. Sit here. I’ll be right back!”
Then, he walked through the rain back towards the woman’s truck. Minutes later he was back, saying she had run out of gas. Then, he drove to a gas station and bought gas for the lady without asking her to pay. I felt unhappy because helping her took us much time.
Days later, I had my learner’s permit (许可证) and then my driver’s license (驾照). I drove everywhere during the summer, and I was excited when school started because I drove myself to school: no more bus for me. Autumn turned quickly into winter, and I still loved the freedom my second-hand car gave me.
But my first winter of driving in the snow was a challenge. Not knowing it would have an unexpected snowstorm that day and that I would have a big problem, I started my car on that clear winter morning.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
I just gladly left home and drove to school.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“I’ll push while you give it a little gas,” the stranger instructed, looking at my car stuck in the snow.

“My goal is that the City of Atlanta becomes the best place in the United States to raise a family,” says Mayor (市长) Andre Dickens about the capital of Georgia.
Dickens grew up in Atlanta. Recently, he was asked about his main goals for this city of nearly 500,000 people. His focus, he said, is on the youth. For that reason, he told the public officially 2023 is the Year of the Youth.
“Whatever we do, we have to think about young people,” Dickens said. “Atlanta’s young people are our future. Continuing to invest (投资) in future generations puts them on pathways to success that will help us move Atlanta forward together.”
Dickens said that after he put forward the idea of the Year of the Youth, businesses, nonprofits, and other community members all said, “I want to be in on that.”
Businesses offer summer internship (实习) programs. They allow students in Atlanta to get valuable experience in the workplace. Dickens explained that several businesses in the city even made their working environments suitable for young people to join in internships.
Improving education is another key goal. Schools and city leaders have been working together to make their partnership in the service of young people stronger. Toward this end, the city is working to improve educational opportunities, create safe ways to school, and offer after-school activities for free or at little cost.
Dickens also believes that it’s important to invest in early education. Investing in early education, he explained, means that more young people will be able to develop basic skills, stopping them from falling behind later in life.
Dickens is looking forward to positive results. “Everyone’s getting ready to serve the young people over the summer,” he said.
8. Why does Dickens invest in future generations
A. To encourage the development of the city.
B. To draw more attention to young people.
C. To attract more youths to Atlanta.
D. To make Atlanta more famous.
9. Which of the following best describes the public’s opinion on the Year of the Youth
A. Worried. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Uncaring.
10. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The importance of internship for the youth.
B. Dickens’ suggestions to businesses.
C. How businesses help the youth.
D. Why businesses offer help.
11. What does the city government do to achieve positive results
A. It builds more schools for early education.
B. It cooperates with schools and businesses.
C. It asks more young people for their support.
D. It helps young people with personal problems.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. B

Whether shyness is part of your child’s personality or just something they feel when they are in front of a group of strangers, it is a typical (典型的) experience. “Shyness isn’t always as socially valued as more outgoing personalities. However, we should step back and think about different personalities and their unique advantages,” said Pérez-Edgar, professor of psychology (心理学) at The Pennsylvania State University. “Everyone can feel shy at times. And those who are especially shy often have happy social lives—they just aren’t likely to be the liveliest person in a crowded room.”
But there are things to watch out for. “If your children are avoiding situations that are important or could be enjoyable for them because they’re feeling nervous, it might be time to take action,” said Chiappini, a child expert. “That could mean not speaking in class, trouble making friends, or not joining in activities they like,” she said.
Chiappini recommended first saying something like: “You seem a little nervous or unsure about who everyone is/what to say. We haven’t met them before and that can feel a little uncomfortable.” From there, you can encourage them to join someone or say something when they are ready—with the promise that you will be there to support them, she added.
The more we avoid situations where kids may feel shy, the more anxiety (担心) we will have about them in the future. But that doesn’t mean to push your child into the deep end.
“We may have to deal with the situation step by step. For example, you may have to encourage your child just to make eye contact during an outing before expecting them to ask someone a question,” Chiappini said.
12. What may Pérez-Edgar agree with
A Shyness is not as bad as people have thought. B. Children are more likely to feel shy than adults.
C. Shy people like to stay with lively people. D. It’s difficult for people to get over shyness.
13 When should action be taken to help shy kids
A. When they ask for instructions from others. B. When they feel nervous in school activities.
C. When they try hard to mix with other children. D. When they are absent from important situations.
14. What does Chiappini advise parents to do at first
A. Tell their kids what they should say. B. Ask their kids how they are feeling.
C. Help their kids stay away from some situations. D. Show their kids they understand how they feel.
15. How should parents behave when helping their children fight shyness
A. Honestly. B. Strictly. C. Patiently. D. Confidently.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了专家指出害羞并不像人们想象的那么糟糕，同时就帮助孩子克服害羞提出了一些建议和方法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段““Shyness isn’t always as socially valued as more outgoing personalities. However, we should step back and think about different personalities and their unique advantages,” said Pérez-Edgar, professor of psychology (心理学) at The Pennsylvania State University. “Everyone can feel shy at times. And those who are especially shy often have happy social lives—they just aren’t likely to be the liveliest person in a crowded room.”(“害羞并不总是像外向的人那样受到社会的重视。然而，我们应该退后一步，思考不同的性格和他们独特的优势，”宾夕法尼亚州立大学心理学教授Pérez-Edgar说。“每个人都有害羞的时候。而那些特别害羞的人往往有着快乐的社交生活——他们只是不太可能在拥挤的房间里成为最活跃的人。”)”推知，Pérez-Edgar可能会同意害羞并不像人们想象的那么糟糕。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““If your children are avoiding situations that are important or could be enjoyable for them because they’re feeling nervous, it might be time to take action,” said Chiappini, a child expert.(儿童专家恰皮尼说：“如果你的孩子因为感到紧张而回避对他们来说重要或愉快的情况，那么可能是时候采取行动了。”)”可知，孩子缺席重要场合时，应该采取行动来帮助害羞的孩子。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Chiappini recommended first saying something like: “You seem a little nervous or unsure about who everyone is/what to say. We haven’t met them before and that can feel a little uncomfortable.”(Chiappini建议先说这样的话：“你看起来有点紧张，或者不确定每个人是谁/该说什么。我们以前没见过他们，这可能会让人感觉有点不舒服。”)”可知，Chiappini建议父母首先让孩子明白父母理解他们的感受。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The more we avoid situations where kids may feel shy, the more anxiety (担心) we will have about them in the future. But that doesn’t mean to push your child into the deep end.(我们越是避免让孩子感到害羞的情况，我们将来就会对他们感到越多的焦虑。但这并不意味着要把你的孩子推向深渊)”以及最后一段““We may have to deal with the situation step by step. For example, you may have to encourage your child just to make eye contact during an outing before expecting them to ask someone a question,” Chiappini said. (“我们可能不得不一步一步地处理这种情况。例如，你可能需要鼓励你的孩子在外出时进行眼神交流，然后再期待他们问别人问题，”恰皮尼说)”可知，在帮助孩子克服害羞时，父母应该有耐心。故选C。

【18题详解】
根据上文“Today, the pillow is an object found in bedrooms throughout the world.(今天，枕头是世界各地卧室里的一件物品)”以及后文“A reading pillow is a useful type of pillow that helps people who need more support.

第二节（满分25分）
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。
It was a Friday. Once the school bus dropped me off at my home, I ran quickly into the house. “Dad, I’m here. I’m ready!” I called out. He would drive me to the supermarket and then I would continue taking my driving courses. On the way to the supermarket, I told my dad I needed to get two pairs of shoes. “One pair is enough,” Dad replied.
Unhappy, I felt our car slow down, as he pulled up. “Dad, why are we stopping ” I asked. Dad said, “The lady back there looks like she’s in trouble.” I turned around, seeing a little, old truck pulled to the side of the highway. Dad told me there was a lady inside and that she was having trouble with the truck and needed some help. “Dad, why do we have to stop and help her Let somebody else do it,” I said, wanting to reach the supermarket quickly.
“Look, girl. Don’t be selfish (自私的),” he said seriously. “By helping this lady, there’s a great possibility that if you ever get stuck or need help, someone just might stop and help you. Sit here. I’ll be right back!”
Then, he walked through the rain back towards the woman’s truck. Minutes later he was back, saying she had run out of gas. Then, he drove to a gas station and bought gas for the lady without asking her to pay. I felt unhappy because helping her took us much time.
Days later, I had my learner’s permit (许可证) and then my driver’s license (驾照). I drove everywhere during the summer, and I was excited when school started because I drove myself to school: no more bus for me. Autumn turned quickly into winter, and I still loved the freedom my second-hand car gave me.
But my first winter of driving in the snow was a challenge. Not knowing it would have an unexpected snowstorm that day and that I would have a big problem, I started my car on that clear winter morning.

【答案】One possible version:
I just gladly left home and drove to school. During the day, it snowed like crazy unexpectedly. By the end of school there was four inches of snow. As I drove home, making my way through the streets, I found myself stuck at a crossroads. A big guy saw me anxiously struggling to rock my car free. He came up and tapped the window, asking, “Miss, do you need help ” I rolled the window down just enough to keep the cold air from rushing in on me. “Yeah,” I answered.
“I'll push while you give it a little gas,” the stranger instructed, looking at my car stuck in the snow. “Okay,” I said and heard him yell from behind the car, “Good.” He pushed some more, saying, “A little more gas.” The car finally was free. “Thanks, sir,” I said, pulling five dollars from my purse. The man shook his head and said, “Just pass it on by helping somebody else.” Thinking about Dad’s previous talk about helping others and now the man’s words, I realized that we should help others whenever we can. Helping others often means helping ourselves.
