66．Dear Simon,
Thank you for your letter. You say you don’t have enough time to do your homework. I think you’d better plan your day carefully. It will be a good choice to make a list of all the homework you have to do. This will give you an idea of how much free time you can have to play basketball. Don’t give up your hobby but do not forget about your study, either. You should keep a balance between study and bobby.
I believe that with hard work and determination, you can overcome this challenge and succeed in both your studies and your hobby.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
67．Then she went to the cashier (收银员) and secretly paid for their meal. Amy didn’t want the firefighters to know about her gesture; she just hoped that this small act of kindness would express her gratitude for their bravery and service. As the firefighters finished their meal and went to pay, the cashier informed them that someone had already taken care of it. Surprised and grateful, the firefighters looked around the restaurant to see if they could spot their mysterious benefactor, but Amy had secretly returned to her duties in the kitchen. The firefighters found the manager and insisted being told the truth.
The next day, the firefighters began raising (募捐) money for a wheelchair for Amy’s father, because they already knew who was the benefactor and what her situation was. They wanted to help too. They organized fundraisers and even set up an online donation campaign. The firefighters, inspired by Amy’s generosity, were determined to make a positive impact on her family’s life. The community’s response was overwhelming, and soon enough, they raised enough money not only for a quality wheelchair but also to cover the medical expenses for Amy’s father. The sense of unity and compassion within the community transformed a small act of kindness into a powerful force for good.

Text10：
Thank you for inviting me to talk about our Riding Club. Hope it interests you.
After breakfast the children begin a day’s program at about 10 o’clock by setting the horse ready. They need to make sure they have the right equipment before the ride begins at about 10:30. For the first few miles they go quite slowly and break for about two hours at noon,near a beach or a lake where they can swim. They arrive back at the club at about 4:00 p. m. Everyone has to wear a hard hat. Sports shoes are no good for riding, I’m afraid. Strong shoes or boots are the best. Warm clothes such as jeans and sweaters, some swimming suits and a shoulder bag for carrying the lunch are useful. In the club, we prepare many books and movies for the children. They can relax at night. And there is an excellent museum not far away in the local area. Well, at last for the price. One day’s cost is 50 dollars per person, including the riding, the equipment, the room and all food.
OK, that’s all. Are there any questions

“You should get a cat, ”my therapist(治疗专家)said. “A cat ” I couldn’t even look after myself. . I took a deep breath and carefully considered the idea of welcoming a feline (猫科的)friend into my life. This seemed like too easy a fix for the fact that I couldn’t leave the house without bursting into tears.
When my partner and I found Cinnamon, her adoption profile made her out as the perfect kitten. We filled out the paperwork and prepared for her arrival.
When she came home, it became increasingly obvious that Cinnamon didn’t understand “no”, “stop it” or “don’t do that”. She was the worst cat I’ve ever owned. I was beginning to doubt my therapist’s advice.
After visiting our vet, she concluded that Cinnamon just wanted our attention. She fought tooth and nail to get a bite of our meals. She’d fearlessly lick sharp knives when left unattended for a split second. Cinnamon stole my heart with her bravery and kept me busier than I’d ever expected.
We decided to start taking her for walks. I could barely leave the house before, but my heart couldn’t say no to Cinnamon. Cinnamon showed me what bravery looked like. She didn’t stop to consider every possible outcome of a situation; she simply went for it. If there was a dog at a park, she would run toward it. She jumped without knowing where she would land. She loved adventure. I found myself mirroring her behavior after a while, jumping out of bed without a second thought. I began to find the motivation to get out of bed in the morning.
Cinnamon unfortunately passed away after a medical accident. I’m no stranger to sadness or grief, but losing my pet so suddenly was the most confusing emotional experience I’ve had to date. She no longer wakes me up at 5 am begging for breakfast, but she’s still the reason I get up every morning.
Our time is often cut unpredictably, unmistakably short. It would be a shame to live life being anything less than brave and adventurous.
24．Why did the author’s therapist recommend that she get a cat
A．To learn how to interact with animals. B．To help the author fill up her spare time;
C．To solve the author’s fear of going out. D．To distract the author’s attention from her pain.
25．How did the author feel at first after Cinnamon came home
A．Thrilled. B．Amazed. C．Pleased. D．Disappointed.
26．What can be inferred from the text
A．Walking Cinnamon outdoors became an adventure for the author.
B．The author was positively affected by Cinnamon’s courageous behavior.
C．Cinnamon loved going outside and took consequences into consideration.
D．The author decided to take Cinnamon outside as she was too troublesome to stay in.
27．What did the author want to convey in this text
A．Life is short and unpredictable. B．The loss of a pet can be painful.
C．We should have the courage to take risks. D．Animal-assisted therapy is the best cure for mental illness.
C
Mammoth Cave National Park, in the state of Kentucky, is a unique and historical natural wonder. It has the world’s longest cave system. There may be another 600 miles of cave passageways that have yet to be explored. In addition, more than 200 caves that are disconnected from the larger system can be found in the park.
The underground caves were created naturally by the process of limestone (石灰岩) erosion. Rain and rivers slowly dissolve (溶解) and shape soft limestone. The system is still being shaped today. Not only are they an amazing destination to visit, but the system also provides drinking water for about 40% of the US population.
The caves’ first explorers were Native Americans, who mined (采矿) the upper levels of Mammoth Cave. Later, the sites were left in great shape and began to draw public interest.
Mammoth Cave was made into a national park thanks to strong support. Back in the 1920s, the Southern Appalachian National Park Commission was set up in 1925. After years of work, as well as building roads and public facilities, the park was completed on July 1, 1941.
The park now receives around 2 million visitors a year, with about a quarter taking a tour of the caves—everything from a cultural tour to the more adventurous tours on offer. The cave supports more than 130 wildlife species (物种). The park is also much more than just a cave; the forest around has a diverse (多种多样的) range of species. There are miles of trails open for horseback riding, with canoe trails and great fishing spots. There are also more than 1,300 flowering species in the forest, and animals like wood warblers, thrushes, and bald eagles can regularly be seen.
28．What can we learn about Mammoth Cave from the first two paragraphs
A．It was made by ancient people. B．It has the length of 600 miles.
C．It is made up of 200 connected caves. D．It has a large underground system.
29．How do the caves form
A．Explorers mine the upper levels. B．The government searches for drinkable water.
C．Water dissolves limestone. D．People build roads and public facilities.
30．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．More than 1,300 flowers grow in the caves.
B．The park offers visitors diverse experiences.
C．Most visitors come to the park just for caves.
D．Two million people have visited the park till now.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．Planning cave tours around the world
B．Exploring the world’s longest cave system
C．Learning about the explorers of Mammoth Cave
D．Predicting the future of Mammoth Cave National Park
D
“Hello Mother, Dad, and Blanche,” a quiet voice, has clearly been played many times over. “How’s everything at home I’m recording this from Dallas…” The disc is small, seven inches across, dated October 1954. The old label shows that the speaker’s name is “Gene”. Gene suggests in his minute-long message that he is traveling and tells his family not to worry about him.
This forgotten sound is one of the world’s early “voice mails”. During the first half of the 20th century, these “voice mails” and other messages were recorded largely, pressed onto metal discs and vinyl records (黑胶唱片) and mailed in places all over the world. When Thomas Edison invented the phonograph (留声机) in 1877, he expected a device that could reproduce music and even store languages.
The gramophone, a later form of the phonograph developed by Emile Berliner in 1887, provided a first possibility for recorded sound being used for long distance communication. The practice of sending “voice mails” really got going across the world in the 1930s and 1940s. Back then, families could listen to the messages on repeat — gathering together around the record player whenever one arrived. They could play it proudly again anytime there were guests, but with each play, the needle would scrape away at the grooves (凹槽) until the message could hardly be heard any longer.
Today at Princeton University, professor Thomas Levin is trying to store these sounds of the past. Linguists (语言学家) are particularly interested in “voice mails” because it provides some of the earliest-ever recorded samples of how regular people spoke — their conversational vocabulary, their pronunciation and accents, their sentence structure and their intonation (语调).
32．Why did Gene record his voice in the disc
A．To let his family know he was OK. B．To prepare for his experiment.
C．To test an old vinyl record. D．To keep a memory.
33．Which of the following is the disadvantage of gramophone
A．People couldn’t listen to the music in it.
B．It couldn’t keep voice in the records very clear.
C．The recorded sound would be damaged by the needle.
D．The needle of the gramophone must be changed often.
34．For what do linguists study “voice mails”
A．To research the earliest-ever recorded voice.
B．To prove recorded samples are true.
C．To learn from famous historical linguists.
D．To reproduce the sound of the past.
35．What is the best title for the text
A．The Early Days of Recorded Sound B．The Importance of “Voice Mails”
C．The Development of Our Language D．The History of “Voice Mails”

The xiao, a traditional bamboo instrument, is now attracting more and more attention with 56 (it) long history and rich cultural meanings. In ancient China, bamboo was a symbol of honesty, and a spirit of trying to make progress. So, many used it to refer 57 their pursuits (追求) in poems. For example, the poet Su Shi once wrote, “Better to eat without meat than live without bamboo”, suggesting the 58 (important) of bamboo. Therefore, the xiao, 59 (make) of bamboo, was not just 60 instrument, but something the ancient literati (文人) often held in hands or put on walls to remind themselves of their pursuits.
“From the Tang Dynasty on, usually the xiao was used for the purpose of 61 (gather) the educated. It was so popular,” says Shen, a xiao player. “The instrument 62 (keep) its unique attractiveness, which paved its way 63 (become) alive again. It produces pleasant music, 64 agrees with the traditional Chinese sense of beauty — the greatest music has the faintest notes.”
In Shen’s view, compared with others, the xiao is an 65 (extreme) simple instrument.
Since it is so simple that you can hardly make any changes on it, you can only change yourself to make your music performance better and better.

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。
Amy is good at making pies, which got her a job at the Good Times restaurant months ago. And she was often regarded as the best worker there. Recently, she became the supervisor (主管) of the restaurant. She was kind and friendly to all the workers and the customers.
One morning, Amy was taking orders when she heard a conversation. “What you did there was great, Mason! It was hard to carry the old lady safely out of the fire. For a moment, I thought you couldn’t make it, my friend,” one man said. Then the other man replied, “Yeah, it was difficult, but that’s our job. And you were the hero today, Gordon. You carried that girl on your shoulder and her dog in your hand. It’s going to be on the newspapers tomorrow, I’m telling you.”
From their clothing and conversation, Amy knew they were firefighters. And she quickly realized that they were talking about the previous night’s fire at the old hotel on the other end of the road. Then the man named Gordon continued, “I don’t care about being in the papers. The little girl and her dog reminded me of my own daughter. She’s constantly asking for a dog, too.”
Amy was moved by the courage and sincerity of the two men. She wanted to show her appreciation for their selfless service. “How about helping pay for their meal ” she thought.
However, she wasn’t a rich girl at all. Weeks ago, her father had an accident and broke his legs. The operation cost a lot of money. And now he needed a wheelchair (轮椅) to move around so that he could live an easier life. But her family was poor and a good wheelchair wasn’t cheap. Amy was trying hard to save money for a wheelchair for her father. And she still needed a lot of money. “Well, the firefighters’ meal won’t cost too much,” Amy finally thought.
Paragraph 1:
Then she went to the cashier (收银员) and secretly paid for their meal.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The next day, the firefighters began raising (募捐) money for a wheelchair for Amy’s father.
