A
Most Famous Libraries in the World
Trinity College Library
Designed by Thomas Burgh, the library is the largest in Ireland. Construction on the Long
Room, the library’s 65-meter-long main hall, began in 1712 and lasted 20 years. The original
structure only had books on the lower level, but when the library’s shelves were filled in the 1850s,
the ceiling was raised to accommodate even more books. Today the Long Room holds 200,000 of
the library’s oldest books.
Stuttgart City Library
Opened in 2011, the German library is a splendid light-gray cube made up of glass blocks
designed by Eun Young Yi. Inside it, you’ll find an airy central room, above which sits a
multi-story stepped reading room lined with bookshelves. The library towers over the nearby
buildings.
Library of Parliament
Taking the form of a Victorian Gothic chapter house complete with 16 flying buttresses, the
1876 Library of Parliament is one of Canada’s prized architectural treasures — it’s on the
ten-dollar bill. Architects Thomas Fuller and Chilion Jones took inspiration from the British
Museum Reading Room for the structure, lining the central hall with delicate wood shelves and
wood carvings.
Rampur Raza Library
Founded in the late 18th century, the Indian library is home to a massive collection of Islamic
and Asian texts and objects. The pink structure that houses the collection today was built in 1904
by Nawab Hamid Ali Khan as a mansion of Indo-European style, The Rampur Raza Library was
later shifted to this grand building in 1957.
21．Of the following libraries, which is the oldest
A．Trinity College Library. B．Library of Parliament.
C．Stuttgart City Library. D．Rampur Raza Library.
22．Who designed the library appearing on the ten-dollar bill
A．Eun Young Yi. B．Thomas Burgh.
C．Nawab Hamid Ali Khan. D．Thomas Fuller and Chilion Jones.

Across the world, humans purchase around 1.3 billion single-use plastic water bottles a day.
Because only about 9% of plastic is recycled, the vast majority of those bottles wind up in landfills,
the ocean, or elsewhere in nature.
When beach-loving Madison noticed those plastic bottles during her family’s trips to
California, the 12-year-old “just felt like this needed to change,” she told Smithsonian Magazine.
So as she began thinking about what to do for her school science fair back in 2021, the idea
of a project centered on reducing plastic pollution quickly came to her mind: she would design an
eatable water bottle called the Eco-Hero.
“One of my biggest ambitions for my project was wanting to help the world,” the confident
young inventor said in a video on the website.
To bring her idea to life, Madison built upon the already established method by
experimenting with common food materials. She also took inspiration from previous versions of
eatable water bottles, though she focused on making hers bigger and more durable. She found that
the combination of water, lemon juice, natural gum, and Alginic acid (褐藻酸) resulted in a gel
pouch that wouldn’t break, could hold up to 3/4 cup of water, and would last in the fridge for three
weeks.
Though she’d like to improve the Eco-Hero by making it able to hold more water, she
believes her current version would work well as a replacement for the paper cups used by runners
in races. All one needs to do is bite a hole in the water ball, drink the water, and then eat the pouch
or throw it away to biodegrade.
Madison hopes the Eco-Hero inspires others to take better care of the planet. “It doesn’t
necessarily have to be in a big way,” she told Smithsonian. “People can still make a difference in
the world, even if it’s just in a small way.”
24．What inspired Madison’s design of an eatable water bottle
A．Her school’s task. B．Her family’s urge.
C．Her love for nature. D．Her trips to the beach.
25．What can we know about the Eco-Hero
A．It is a copy of the previous versions.
英语试题卷 第 4 页 共 12 页
{#{QQABYQyUogCAApAAARhCQQmwCkAQkBAACIoORAAMMAAAyRFABAA=}#}
B．It is made from unbreakable materials.
C．It is an improvement in size and durability.
D．It has a hole and should be disposed once used.
26．Which of the following words can best describe Madison
A．Ambitious and creative. B．Talented and determined.
C．Courageous and confident. D．Cooperative and devoted.
27．What can be the best title for the text
A．A good beginning is half done. B．Small people make big moves.
C．Where there is a will, there is a way. D．God helps those who help themselves.

These days, more people in Denmark are surviving serious heart attacks. Some of that good
news is thanks to a smartphone app called Heartrunner.
Many heart attacks happen when people are not near doctors. The most serious type of heart
attack is when the heart stops. In Denmark, the survival rate for people whose heart had stopped
when they were not near doctors used to be 4%. In the past 20 years, it has risen to 16%. Denmark
has seen a dramatic change in survival from heart attacks after it began recruiting (招 募 )
volunteers and arming some of them with smartphone technology.
Denmark’s emergency number is 112. Call center workers can use Heartrunner to contact up
to 20 volunteers within 1.1 miles of an emergency. Workers also send out an ambulance. They
often tell the caller how to start CPR. Heartrunner sends an alert (警报 ) to volunteers. It asks,
“Can you run ” If a person says yes, the app sends the address. If there is an AED nearby, the app
tells volunteers where to find it.
More than 100,000 people in Denmark volunteer for Heartrunner. About 75% of them are not
health care workers. That’s OK, said expert Freddy Lippert. “The patient is dead, and if you don’t
do anything, nine out of 10 will be dead forever. The faster CPR begins, the better the chance of
restarting the heart. In Denmark, everyday people responded faster than professionals to more than
four in 10 heart attacks.”
Erik Kaxe, 81, lives in a small Danish town. Recently, his heart stopped. His wife called 112.
The ambulance was sent. And the Heartrunner alert went out. Within minutes, 10 strangers who
lived nearby showed up at their house. The ambulance came 17 minutes after the call. So many
helpers showed up that they were able to do far more than just CPR. When the ambulance showed
up, Kaxe was breathing again. He lived and is now back at home.

“Dying wasn’t difficult” he said. “But waking up is.”
28．What do the numbers mentioned in paragraph 2 show
A．Heartrunner has raised a lot of concern.
B．Heartrunner has made a big difference in Denmark.
C．An increasing number of people have suffered heart attacks.
D．Danish doctors have successfully improved heart attack survival rates.
29．How does Heartrunner work
A．It calls 112 immediately. B．It contacts an ambulance.
C．It sends helpers to victims. D．It sends alerts to AED owners.
30．What can we infer from Freddy Lippert’s words
A．Every minute counts for victims.
B．Ambulances respond slowly in Denmark.
C．There is a serious lack of health care workers.
D．Volunteers for Heartrunner should be professionals.
31．Why does the author mention Kaxe
A．To tell a touching story. B．To remind us to value life.
C．To show how Heartrunner saves lives. D．To teach us how to use the life-saving app.
D
Does a happy person live longer Many studies have convinced us that happiness brings good
health, which has resulted in an increasing demand for speakers and products encouraging positive
thinking. However, being happy does not promise that one is going to be healthy. There are other
factors that influence one’s health and long life such as a person’s genes or even a person’s
socioeconomic condition.
Some research even suggests that positive thinking can be dangerous. Positive thinking, when
taken to the extreme, can cause a person to be separated from reality. For example, a person who
thinks that staying happy and positive can help him recover from an illness like cancer but later
fails to recover from it, may blame himself for not being happy. In this case, positive thinking may
potentially make the victim disregard other factors. Sometimes the pursuit of happiness is even
associated with serious mental health problems such as depression.
All types of happiness are not good for us either. For example, pride, a pleasant feeling, can
sometimes rob us of the ability to empathize with others or understand another’s viewpoint. This
anti-social behavior can cause people around us to turn away from us, and this could, in turn,
英语试题卷 第 6 页 共 12 页
{#{QQABYQyUogCAApAAARhCQQmwCkAQkBAACIoORAAMMAAAyRFABAA=}#}
make us feel lonely and do harm to our mental and even physical health.
Moreover, unpleasant feelings can be beneficial to a person’s well-being. Researchers believe
that unpleasant feelings can help us make sense of our challenges and experiences in a way that
supports psychological well-being. For example, if I have behaved badly towards my good friend,
the feelings of guilt and sadness might motivate me to apologize and ask for forgiveness. The
rebuilding of a broken relationship can be a lift to one’s mental well-being.
In trying to experience happiness, we should remember that seeking for happiness as an end
in itself can be self-defeating, and does not necessarily lead to better health. After all, one will
surely experience setbacks and conflicts in life. Instead, learning to cope with negative emotions
with a realistic positive attitude is key to a person’s good health.
32．What’s the writer’s opinion in this passage
A．Negative thinking can be dangerous.
B．Staying happy can bring good health.
C．Unpleasant feelings cannot be beneficial.
D．Happiness cannot ensure one’s good health.
33．When can positive thinking be dangerous according to the passage
A．When we use it with a realistic attitude to solve problems.
B．When we focus on it as an only determinant of happy life.
C．When we think it one of the necessary factor for good health.
D．When we realize it may rob us of the ability to understand others.
34．How can unpleasant feelings be beneficial to a person’s well-being
A．They rebuild a broken relationship.
B．They lead to self-reflection and personal growth.
C．They help keep the problems and challenges away.
D．They prevent long-term negative effects on mental health.
35．Which of the following has the similar meaning of “an end in itself”
A．An ultimate goal. B．An individual plan.
C．A final decision. D．A great start.

Make a difference at school
Besides being a great place to learn, school offers a great opportunity to make friends, try
new things, and give back to others. The beginning of a school year is a good time for you to take
advantage of opportunities and activities that your school offers. 36 . Here’s how to get
started.
Reach out
Try to be involved in activities, clubs, and teams. All of these help you meet more people,
including teachers and staff, who can give you an idea of the needs the school might have.
37 . Ask if you can attend meetings to share ideas and listen to what others want to change at
school.
38
Your school may have a variety of clubs — from robotics to anime. If you have an interest
that’s not covered by a current school club, you could consider forming your own. Many schools
have a standard process for approving clubs, which may include asking a teacher to advise the
club, and finding a place and time to meet.
Identify a need and take action
Think about what makes you feel happy at school. Maybe you enjoy having lunch or playing
soccer during break. Now think about ways those could be even better. You might wish there were
more food options or more balls to play. Once you have your idea, talk to a staff to see if students
could help. 39 .
Be kind
40 . However, you can help create a positive atmosphere at school by being kind
and respectful to others. This includes respecting a teacher’s rules, saying thank you when a
student helps you, cleaning up any mess you make, and saying hello to others in the hallway.
Attitude is infectious!
A．Start something new
B．Find what appeals to you
C．It may seem like a simple action
D．For example, involve yourself in the student union
E．You can also take full advantage of what you have on hand
F．It’s also a good time to think of ways to make a difference to your school
G．You could offer to develop a diverse meal plan or organize fundraising for new balls

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。
Ten-year-old Sami loved to visit his grandfather’s house. The house was near the beautiful
blue sea. At the seaside stood thick and tall palm trees with green coconuts hanging from them.
When the coconuts fell down, Sami would break them open and drink the coconut water. It was
always great fun to spend the holidays at Grandpa’s place.
This winter vacation, Sami was surprised when he came to his grandfather’s village. There
were hardly any trees left. He saw houses built near the sea. People had cut down many palm trees
and there was hardly any greenery left.
Grandpa’s house was different. He never allowed his trees to be cut. He hugged each palm
tree in his courtyard. He also named the two big trees near the front door—one was Petu, and the
other Betu. They were tall and green and gave the sweetest, juiciest coconuts.

One night, Sami was awakened by a strange sound. He could not sleep. He tossed and turned
(辗转反侧) in bed. Suddenly, the ground shook as if the earth was splitting. He sat up straight and
then ran to Grandpa. He clung to (抓紧) his grandpa tightly. Grandpa cried out, “It’s an
earthquake!” They ran outside the house.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound; the earth was not splitting but the sea was roaring. People
were shouting, screaming and crying, “The sea is rising!” The villagers started running away from
the beach. Sami watched with fear.
The waves were rising higher and higher. Sami thought, “How big the waves are!” He went
into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides. He was scared.
Sami remembered his mother telling him long ago, “You must always get out of the house if
the floods come too near.” He ran outside the house with Grandpa. But the water came surging (汹
涌) in.
Waves about twelve meters high came rushing in, drowning everything. Water was all around
and everywhere.

第一节
The Earth, our only home, is unique and irreplaceable to human beings. It provides us with not only essential resources
for survival but also diverse support for our development. However, with the development of society, it keeps suffering
from pollution, abuse of resources and even wars.
Therefore, something must be done to protect the earth. To begin with, we should live a low-carbon life with less
consumption of resources. After all, the earth can satisfy our needs but not our greed! In addition, we should share and reuse
things like clothing, furniture, books and etc. Finally, awareness and technology should be strengthened to boost recycling.
In a word, every resident as well as government should lend a helping hand to make the earth a healthy and
sustainable planet.
第二节
Grandpa held Sami’s hand tightly but a huge wave separated them. Grandpa fought the waves and tried to catch Sami,
but failed. Sami was drifted away! Sami struggled to keep his head above the water. The water pushed him ahead.
Fortunately, he caught Petu in Grandpa’s courtyard. He climbed up it and saw his Grandpa struggling near Betu in the
violent water. He screamed out to Grandpa to encourage him to approach Betu, but the water was so wild that it was
difficult for the old man to reach Betu. An idea occurred to Sami. He quickly broke off a branch of Petu and stuck it to
Grandpa. With the help of the branch, he pulled Grandpa up the tree.
Now they were up in Petu. Another wave came with terrifying speed and force, but they were safe thanks to the tree.
They hugged each other, tears welling up in their eyes. They stayed there comforting each other, waiting the disaster to go
away. After what seemed a long time, it was calm. Both Grandpa and Sami came down the tree and they hugged the tree
with tears of gratitude. But for Petu, there would not be alive now. They knew Petu and Betu were part of their life.

元纸币上，它的外形是维多利亚哥特式的教堂，有 16个飞扶壁)”以及最后一段中“Founded in the late 18th century, the Indian library is
home to a massive collection of Islamic and Asian texts and objects.(印度图书馆建于 18世纪晚期，收藏了大量的伊斯兰和亚洲文献和物品)”
比较可知，Trinity College Library 历史最悠久，故选 A 项。
22．细节理解题。根据第三部分中“Architects Thomas Fuller and Chilion Jones took inspiration from the British Museum Reading Room for the
structure, lining the central hall with delicate wood shelves and wood carvings.(建筑师 Thomas Fuller和 Chilion Jones从大英博物馆阅览室获
得了结构的灵感，在中央大厅里排列着精致的木架和木雕)”可知，加拿大的国会图书馆印在了面值 10 加元的钞票上，设计灵感来自大
英博物馆的阅览室，设计者为 Thomas Fuller 和 Chilion Jones。故选 D。
23．推理判断题。文章主要介绍了四家图书馆独特的建筑风格。藏书、扩建及凌驾于周围建筑物之上，只是部分或个别图书馆有所涉
及，故选 B项。
【导语】
本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了 12岁的女孩 Madison 为了解决塑料瓶污染的问题，发明了可食用的水瓶。
24．细节理解题。根据第二段“When beach-loving Madison noticed those plastic bottles during her family’s trips to California, the 12-year-old
‘just felt like this needed to change,’ she told Smithsonian Magazine.(当热爱海滩的 Madison 在加利福尼亚的家庭旅行中注意到这些塑料瓶
时，这位 12岁的女孩‘觉得这需要改变’，她告诉《史密森尼杂志》)”可知，Madison 在加利福尼亚的家庭旅行中发现海滩上有塑料瓶，
这让她产生了设计可食用水瓶的想法。故选 D。
25．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“She also took inspiration from previous versions of eatable water bottles, though she focused on making
hers bigger and more durable.(她还从以前的可食水瓶中获得了灵感，不过她专注于让自己的水瓶更大、更耐用)”可知，她设计的水瓶在
体积和耐用性上有了改善。故选 C。
26．推理判断题。根据第五段中的“To bring her idea to life, Madison built upon the already established method by experimenting with
common food materials. She also took inspiration from previous versions of eatable water bottles, though she focused on making hers bigger
and more durable.(为了将她的想法付诸实践，Madison 在已经建立的方法的基础上，对常见的食物材料进行了实验。她还从以前的可食
水瓶中获得了灵感，不过她专注于让自己的水瓶更大、更耐用)”可推测出，Madison 根据已经建立的方法和从以前的可食用水瓶中获得
的灵感，通过实验设计出了更大、更耐用的水瓶，由此可推测出，她是一个有创造力的（creative）人。根据第四段“‘One of my biggest
ambitions for my project was wanting to help the world,’ the confident young inventor said in a video on the website.(这位自信的年轻发明家
在网站上的一段视频中说：‘我对这个项目最大的抱负之一是想帮助世界。’)”可知，她有帮助世界的抱负，由此可推测出，她是一个有
抱负的（ambitious）人。故选 A。
27．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中 Madison 的话“It doesn’t necessarily have to be in a big way(这不一定要很大)”和“People can
still make a difference in the world, even if it’s just in a small way.(人们仍然可以在世界上有所作为，即使只是在很小的方面)”可知，年仅
12 岁的女孩Madison 设计出了可食用的水瓶，用自己的方式帮助保护环境，她认为人们不一定要做出非常大的成就，小事情也能有重
要影响，所以 B项“小人物也能有大成就”适合作本文标题。故选 B。
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了丹麦一个名为 Heartrunner 的智能手机应用程序，可以及时为心脏病患者提供帮助。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段“Many heart attacks happen when people are not near doctors. The most serious type of heart attack is when the
heart stops. In Denmark, the survival rate for people whose heart had stopped when they were not near doctors used to be 4%. In the past 20
years, it has risen to 16%. Denmark has seen a dramatic change in survival from heart attacks after it began recruiting (招募) volunteers and
arming some of them with smartphone technology.(许多心脏病发作是在人们没有医生的情况下发生的。最严重的心脏病发作是心脏停止
2
{#{QQABYQyUogCAApAAARhCQQmwCkAQkBAACIoORAAMMAAAyRFABAA=}#}
跳动。在丹麦，在没有医生的情况下心脏停止跳动的病人的存活率曾经是 4%。在过去的 20 年里，这一比例上升到了 16%。丹麦开始
招募志愿者，并为其中一些人配备智能手机技术后，心脏病患者的存活率发生了巨大变化)”可知，第二段提到的数字说明了 Heartrunner
在丹麦产生了很大的影响。故选 B。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段“Call center workers can use Heartrunner to contact up to 20 volunteers within 1.1 miles of an emergency.
Workers also send out an ambulance. They often tell the caller how to start CPR. Heartrunner sends an alert (警报) to volunteers. It asks, “Can
you run ” If a person says yes, the app sends the address. If there is an AED nearby, the app tells volunteers where to find it.(呼叫中心的工作
人员可以使用 Heartrunner 在距离紧急情况 1.1 英里的范围内联系最多 20 名志愿者。工人们也派出了救护车。他们通常会告诉打电话
的人如何开始心肺复苏术。Heartrunner 向志愿者发送警报。它问：“你能过去吗？”如果有人说是，应用程序就会发送地址。如果附近
有一台 AED，应用程序会告诉志愿者去哪里找到它)”可知，Heartrunner 向病人派遣助手来运作。故选 C。
30．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“The patient is dead, and if you don’t do anything, nine out of 10 will be dead forever. The faster CPR begins,
the better the chance of restarting the heart.(病人已经死亡，如果你什么都不做，十有八九会永远死去。心肺复苏开始得越快，重启心脏
的机会就越大)”可推知，对受害者来说，每一分钟都很重要。故选 A。
31．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Recently, his heart stopped. His wife called 112. The ambulance was sent. And the Heartrunner alert went
out. Within minutes, 10 strangers who lived nearby showed up at their house. The ambulance came 17 minutes after the call. So many helpers
showed up that they were able to do far more than just CPR. When the ambulance showed up, Kaxe was breathing again. He lived and is now
back at home.(最近，他的心跳停止了。他的妻子拨打了 112。救护车被派来了。同时，Heartrunner 警报响起。几分钟内，10 个住在
附近的陌生人出现在他们家。救护车在接到电话 17 分钟后赶到。这么多的救援人员出现，他们能做的远不止心肺复苏。救护车赶到
时，卡克斯已经恢复了呼吸。他活了下来，现在已经回到家中)”可推知，作者提到 Kaxe 是为了展示 Heartrunner 如何拯救生命的。故
选 C。
32．D 33．B 34．B 35．A
【导语】本文是说明文。文章提出了快乐并不能保证一个人就会健康的观点。还有其他因素影响一个人的健康和长寿，例如一个人的
基因，甚至一个人的社会经济状况决定是否会健康。学会用现实的积极态度应对消极情绪是一个人健康的关键。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段“However, being happy does not promise that one is going to be healthy. There are other factors that influence
one’s health and long life such as a person’s genes or even a person’s socio-economic condition.”（然而，快乐并不能保证一个人就会健康。
还有其他因素影响一个人的健康和长寿，例如一个人的基因，甚至一个人的社会经济状况。）可知，文章中作者认为快乐并不能保证一
个人的健康。故选 D。
33．细节理解题。根据第二段“Some research even suggests that positive thinking can be dangerous. Positive thinking, when taken to the
extreme, can cause a person to be separated from reality. For example, a person who thinks that staying happy and positive can help him
recover from an illness like cancer but later fails to recover from it, may blame himself for not being happy. In this case, positive thinking may
potentially make the victim disregard other factors.”（一些研究甚至表明，积极思考可能是危险的。当走向极端时，积极的思考会导致一
个人脱离现实。例如，一个人认为保持快乐和积极可以帮助他从癌症等疾病中恢复过来，但后来却无法恢复，他可能会责怪自己不快
乐。在这种情况下，积极的思考可能会使受害者忽视其他因素。）可知，当我们将积极思考视为幸福生活的唯一决定因素时，积极思考
可能是危险的。故选 B。
34．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Moreover, unpleasant feelings can be beneficial to a person’s well-being. Researchers believe that
unpleasant feelings can help us make sense of our challenges and experiences in a way that supports psychological well-being. For example, if I
have behaved badly towards my good friend, the feelings of guilt and sadness might motivate me to apologize and ask for forgiveness. The
rebuilding of a broken relationship can be a lift to one’s mental well-being.”（此外，不愉快的感觉可能对一个人的健康有益。研究人员认为，
不愉快的感觉可以帮助我们以一种支持心理健康的方式理解我们的挑战和经历。例如，如果我对我的好朋友表现不好，内疚和悲伤的
感觉可能会促使我道歉并请求原谅。重建一段破裂的关系可以提升一个人的精神健康。）可知，不愉快的感觉能导致自我反思和个人成
长，这有益于一个人的幸福。故选 B。
35．词句猜测题。根据第一段“However, being happy does not promise that one is going to be healthy. There are other factors that influence
one’s health and long life such as a person’s genes or even a person’s socio-economic condition. (然而，快乐并不意味着一个人就会健康。还
有其他因素会影响一个人的健康和长寿，例如一个人的基因，甚至一个人的社会经济状况。)”可知，快乐不一定会让我们健康，我们
不能把追求快乐当作目的。以及二段说到积极思想有时很危险，第三段说不是所有的快乐都对我们有好处，最后一段“In trying to
3
{#{QQABYQyUogCAApAAARhCQQmwCkAQkBAACIoORAAMMAAAyRFABAA=}#}
experience happiness, we should remember that seeking for happiness as an end in itself can be self-defeating, and does not necessarily lead
to better health. After all, one will surely experience setbacks and conflicts in life. Instead, learning to cope with negative emotions with a
realistic positive attitude is key to a person’s good health.”（在尝试体验快乐的过程中，我们应该记住，把追求快乐作为 an end in itself 可
能会弄巧成拙，也不一定会带来更好的健康。毕竟，一个人在生活中肯定会遇到挫折和冲突。相反，学会用现实的积极态度应对消极
情绪是一个人健康的关键）可知，不要把追求快乐当作目的，an end in itself 是“目的”的意思，近义词是 An ultimate goal表示“一个最终
目标”。故选 A。
七选五：
36．F 37．D 38．A 39．G 40．C

36．根据前文“The beginning of a school year is a good time for you to take advantage of opportunities and activities that your school offers.
(新学年的开始是你利用学校提供的机会和活动的好时机。)”可知，新学年的开始是一个你可以利用的学校提供的好时机，后文应该对
该话题保持一致，继续探讨“好时机”。F 选项“It’s also a good time to think of ways to make a difference to your school(这也是一个思考如何
改变你的学校的好时机)”与前文呼应，其中的 also 以及 a good time 与前文构成呼应，it 指代前文的 the beginning of a school year，强调

生会)”承接前文，指出可以参加学生会来分享自己的想法。故选 D。
38．本题为本段的标题，根据其他的小标题可知，本空应该选择的是祈使句结构。根据后文的“If you have an interest that’s not covered by
a current school club, you could consider forming your own. (如果你有当前学校社团没有涵盖的兴趣，你可以考虑组建自己的社团。)”可知，
此处强调学校中会有各种各样的社团，如果当前学校社团没有涵盖的你的兴趣，你可以考虑组建自己的社团即建议建立新社团。A 选
项“Start something new(开始新的东西)”概括本段段旨，符合语境。故选 A。
39．根据本段段旨“Identify a need and take action(确定需求并采取行动)”以及前文“Maybe you enjoy having lunch or playing soccer during

your idea, talk to a staff to see if students could help. (也许你喜欢在休息时吃午饭或踢足球。现在想想那些可以变得更好的方法。你可能
希望有更多的食物选择或更多的球玩。一旦你有了你的想法，和工作人员谈谈，看看学生是否可以帮忙。)”可知，也许你喜欢在休息
时吃午饭或踢足球，你可能希望这段时间变得更好即有更多的食物选择或更多的球玩，因此确定需求则立即行动。G 选项“You could offer
to develop a diverse meal plan or organize fundraising for new balls(你可以提出制定一个多样化的膳食计划，或者为新舞会组织筹款)”与前
文呼应，指出可以跟工作人员谈谈你的想法即针对于更多食物选择可以提出一个多样化的膳食计划或者是为新舞会组织筹款，该选项

积极的校园氛围。C选项“It may seem like a simple action(这似乎是一个简单的动作)”中的 it 指代段旨中的“善良”，同时与后文构成转折
关系即虽然“对他人善良”看起来是一个简单的动作，根据后文“This includes respecting a teacher’s rules, saying thank you when a student
helps you, cleaning up any mess you make, and saying hello to others in the hallway.(这包括尊重老师的规定，在学生帮助你的时候说谢谢，
清理你制造的混乱，在走廊里和别人打招呼。)”可知，对他人善良却包含很多内容，并不是一个简单的动作，故 C 选项符合语境。故
选 C。
