On Friday,Shannon Grimm noticed that a 5-year-old girl,Priscilla,in her kindergarten class was
really sad and depressed at school,because she was teased by some students,who said that her short
hair made her look like a boy.
“What is a better way to show them that you can look any way and still be true to yourself than to
cut my own hair ” Grimm said to herself.After thinking deeply,she decided to cheer the student up by
showing support,so she chopped her waist-length brown hair into the same pixie cut as Priscilla's.
Walking into a grocery store or other public places with her new haircut did make Grimm feel
awkward.However,she said the temporary discomfort was worth it because she was able to help
Priscilla feel better about her appearance.“I don't want my students to ever feel like their confidence is
down because of the way people look at them and say things to them,” Grimm said.
At a school meeting last week,the little girl Priscilla presented Grimm with a medal for being her
hero during a difficult time.More important to Grimm,her creative way works out.
“Who's beautiful ” Grimm asked Priscilla later.“Me,” the girl responded with a smile.
Although Grimm said she missed her long hair,she said the experience had allowed her to better
understand Priscilla's feelings.“Sometimes you just have to experience it.You have to teach them and
show them that you're there for them.”
Her hair will grow back,but Grimm said she hopes to give a more lasting lesson to her
students.“It doesn't matter what haircut you have,” she said.“You're beautiful no matter what.”
5.What made Priscilla teased by her classmates
A.Her ugly face. B.Her low grades. C.Her rude manners. D.Her boyish hairstyle.
6.How did Grimm help Priscilla
A.By cutting her own hair. B.By presenting Priscilla medals.
C.By praising Priscilla in class. D.By criticizing Priscilla's classmates.
7.Why did the little girl answer that she was beautiful

Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were
creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the “dream job” of young people aged

广州市培才高级中学
between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1, 002
people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of
ideal careers.
This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so
much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the
traditional way.
In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a
computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal
people interacting with their fans about everyday life.
However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the
fact that only those who are successful earn fame (名声) and fortune. For every success there are
hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the
dreams that remain dreams forever.
Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don't
necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies.
Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It's an online
platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and
is always a learning experience. And that's enough for him.
8．What is the passage mainly about
A．Most young Britons choose to be vloggers as their job.
B．The Internet is influencing young Britons' career choice.
C．The Internet is taking the place of traditional studios.
D．Young Britons cannot find jobs without the Internet.
9．Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers
A．Vloggers can earn greater fame and more money on the Internet.
B．There is too much competition in the traditional show business.
C．The Internet makes it convenient to enter show business.
D．Anyone with a computer will surely become a star.
10．What can we infer from the fifth paragraph
A．Only a few vloggers can be successful.
B．A vlogger cannot earn fame and fortune.
C．People often see the bright side of being a vlogger.
D．Dreams will always remain to be dreams.
11．What do young people like David do on the Internet
A．Learn from others. B．Become an online hit.
C．Hold running races. D．Mix jobs with hobbies.

D
“One day I went to a Swedish friend's and while we were playing in his room, his mom yelled
that dinner was ready. And check this. He told me to WAIT in his room while they ate!" an Internet
user shared on a media platform. Consequently， there was a lot of criticism（批评）of the Swedes.
Many said they wouldn't dream of being so mean in their culture. Would a host in Sweden really not
invite a guest to join their meal if it's dinnertime
It does happen, says Richard Tell Strom, a food historian at Stockholm University. He says this
so-called "non-hospitality" was customary when he was a kid in the '60s and '70s.If he was over a
friend's house and it was time for dinner, he would go back to his own house to eat. Or he would stay
and wait in another room while his friend finished his meal. Then they'd continue playing.
"Some Swedes think feeding a guest creates a sense of duty." explains Telstra." And in a society
that values quality and independence, people don't want to put a burden on someone or feel like they
owe someone something." However, it wasn't a common rule. Families in the countryside, for
example, were more likely to feed guests. People lived farther apart, so it wasn't as easy for people to
go home and eat. The "no dinner for you" policy has slowly faded, says Tell Strom.“Since the 1990s,
food has become a new symbol in society. We have open kitchens. People like to dine there and show
off their cooking."
But non-sharing hosts haven't completely disappeared, says Mohini Mchta, a food scholar. She
admits she had a tough time adjusting to life in Sweden when she moved there in 2020.She was used
to cooking dinner every day for friends and hosting dinner parties almost weekly in India. She learned
that in some cultures, like her own, sharing a meal with someone is a way to break the ice-but this isn't
always the case for Swedes.
12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To offer a platform to discuss ideas. B. To free the netizen's bad feelings.
C To introduce the topic meal-sharing. D. To compare some foreign food cultures.
13. What does the underlined word “customary” Paragraph 2 mean in
A. Normal.B. Optional. C. Unique. D. Horrible.
14. Why do some hosts choose non-hospitality according to Tellstrom
A. Because food represents a symbol of social status.
B. Because they don't want to show off their cooking.
C. Because it is widely accepted across the country.
D. Because their culture values quality and independence.
15.How is the text developed
A By offering opinions. B. By listing reasons.
C. By making comparisons. D. By providing numbers.

第二节 七选五（共 5小题；每小题 2.5分,满分 12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的 7个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选
项。
Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and
feel you are already close friends. They are always good talkers.
Here are several skills that good talkers have in common. If you follow the skills, they'll help you
put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly. 16
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a
question. One well-known businesswoman says,“At business lunches, I always ask people what they
did that morning. 17 ” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really
personal questions. 18 . Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the
answers. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to.
And to find out, you really have to listen carefully.
Real listening at least means some things. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact
that he's really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of
voice. 19
Finally, good talkers know well how to “say goodbye”. If you're saying goodbye, you may give
him a firm handshake and say,“I've really enjoyed meeting you.” 20 . Let people know what
you feel, and they may walk away, happy and satisfied.
A. You can become a popular person.
B. You'd better change the subject if the voice sounds dull.
C. Don't be afraid to say so if you want to see that person again.
D. Although the question is common，it will get things going.
E. It's polite to listen to others with a smile.
F. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
G. These people have something in common.
