Adam cleared his throat and began to speak. “Mr. Brook, I’m here to make an apology. Yesterday afternoon my brother Bill damaged your car and ran away in panic. We are awfully sorry for that.” “Oh, I see. But it’s no big deal,” Osman smiled. Then Adam drew out the money from his pocket and said to Osman with sincerity, “This is all the money I have. I wonder if it can pay for your loss.” However, Osman insisted that it was only minor damage and declined to take it.
Just then, there came a knock at the door. Osman went to answer it, only to find Bill standing outside. “Morning, Mr. Brook. I … I’ve come to say sorry for …” Bill stammered. But Osman laughed and let him in. The two brothers were both surprised and glad to see each other. Osman gave them a thumbs-up and praised them happily, “Good boys, I truly appreciate your honesty. Just forget about my car.” Whatever the boys said, Osman wouldn’t take the money. Finally, he accepted their suggestion that they make it up to him by doing some work in his garden.大庆中学2023-2024学年度高三年级下学期模拟考试

Boston Marathon runners in recent years may have seen a smiling furry face around the two-mile mark. It’s Spencer, the therapy (治疗) dog, who became known as an unofficial mascot (吉祥物) for the marathon, He’s shown up on the sidelines every year since 2015—rain or shine.
One particularly rainy marathon catapulted Spencer’s fame, In 2018, his owner, Richard Powers, decided to put a bright yellow rain coat on the dog, making him stand out even more than he usually does. Photos of Spencer, who holds a “Boston Strong” flag in his mouth, went viral, and he became an inspiration to runners and onlookers alike, During the marathon, some runners stop in their tracks to take selfies with the dog-the line sometimes growing to 20 runners long.
But in 2020, Spencer was diagnosed with a tumor. His owner was worried, but Spencer is a fighter. He got the care he needed and survived. In 2021, he was back on the course and it was really kind of a miracle and that really hit home to a lot of people.
Unfortunately, Spencer caught another tumor—this one cancerous—and Spencer began chemotherapy. Powers didn’t think his beloved dog would make it out to the marathon of 2022. “Miraculously, he’s still here with us and an even bigger miracle, he was strong enough to go to the marathon,” he said.
After recovering, Spencer was back to work—not just at the marathon—but as a therapy dog, alongside his companion, Penny, who is also a golden therapy dog. Powers takes his two therapy dogs around to schools, hospitals and senior living centers.
“He’s a gift to us and we’re very lucky to have him. He’s too good so we want to share him with as many people as we possibly can. He does make a difference,” Powers said.

C．He is not recognized officially. D．He works as a therapy dog for runners.
25．What does Spencer bring to runners

As founder of the Global Water Policy Project and lead expert for National Geographic’s Freshwater Initiative, Sandra’s goal is to promote the conservation and sustainable use of the Earth’s freshwater resources.
Sandra says she grew up in New York as a Long Island beach kid. She was always aware of the “comfort, peace, and balance” offered by the natural world, especially the environments of wetlands and rivers. Before starting work on a project, Sandra considers an area’s “geography of water”: the amount of water in the area’s basin, the population, and the agricultural use of water. The geography of water helps Sandra determine an area’s water stress. Water stress is the situation where a community is using more water than nature made available.
Sandra first became aware of the concept of water stress after reading Swedish hydrologist Malin Falkenmark’s book Water for a Starving World. This groundbreaking work linked water use, food and population. As Sandra began to understand water stress, she realized it affects everything, from a community’s development to its political security. “So many great civilizations developed alongside rivers and lakes,” she says, pointing to the ancient civilizations of Ur (between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers), Egypt (which developed on the Nile), and the Indus River Valley.
Today, Sandra points out, more than 200 rivers are shared between two or more nations. Dams and other river management techniques implemented (实施) by nations upstream have a huge impact on nations downstream. The Tigris and Euphrates rivers have their sources in Turkey, for example, but their basins are in Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Syria. River management from Turkey would impact the freshwater available to these countries for drinking, hygiene (卫生), industry, and transportation.
Water management has become part of many nations’ foreign policy. Sandra points to the Mekong River Commission. The headwaters of the Mekong River are in China, although the basin is nearly 800,000 square kilometers and includes the nations of Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. Many governments are members of the Mekong River Commission, which promotes sustainable development of the water supply.
28．What did water mean to Sandra as a child
A．It represented a kind of spirit.
B．It caused stress to her life.
C．It brought many obstacles to her.
D．It offered a way for transportation.
29．What can we learn from paragraph 3
A．Water stress was perfectly settled.
B．Water contributed much to the world culture.
C．Water had no impact on the steadiness of a nation.
D．Water crisis was recognized before Malin’s book.
30．What inspiration can we get from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers
A．Upstream countries have priorities.
B．Every country has its policy for rivers.
C．Rivers across countries are decreasing.
D．Source governance of rivers is critical.
31．What’s the purpose of the author taking the Mekong River as an example
A．To show its importance to the locals.
B．To emphasize its great volume of flow.
C．To show the power of cooperation.
D．To tell its challenges to related nations.

In the 1960s, anthropologist (人类学家) Jean Briggs set out on a trip to the Arctic Circle (北极圈). Living in an environment cut off from all the usual creature comforts, Briggs survived thanks to the kindness of one Inuit family who took her into their home. During her time among the Inuit, she came across a surprising phenomenon: Inuit people have an extraordinary ability to control their anger.
Briggs documented certain occasions where it might have seemed plausible to fly off the handle. A fishing line that had taken many days to make broke on its first use. The simple response: “Sew it together.” A hot pot of tea that ended up all over the floor of an igloo (冰屋), damaging it, was met with no real acknowledgement. The person who knocked it over just got up and made a new pot.
Briggs was left with the burning question of how the Inuit manage to raise such level-headed adults. In a meeting with the elders, it was revealed that the Inuit have a golden parenting rule: “Don’t shout at small children.” One mom, Lisa Ipeelie explained, “When they’re little, it doesn’t help to raise your voice. And this is even the case if a child bites or hits a parent. If a child is turning to this behavior, it’s because there’s an underlying issue that needs to be dealt with, calmly.”
Still, you might be wondering how the Inuit get their children to behave, or even to stay safe. Well, it’s thanks to the storytelling tradition in the culture. These stories can be quite frightening. “Our parents told us that if we went out without a hat, the northern lights are going to take our head off,” shared Inuit film producer, Myna Ishulutak.
However, psychologist Deena Weisberg believes “kids learn best through stories, which are interesting to them.” Interestingly, she states that stories with a peppering of danger have even more appeal to kids. “If we tell children stories they are in awe of, which help them to behave, they will pass them on to their own families,” she says.
32．Why did Briggs find Inuit people amazing
A．They care little about personal belongings.
B．They always keep calm.
C．They live comfortably under extreme conditions.
D．They treat strangers like family.
33．What does the underlined word “plausible” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Reasonable. B．Preferable. C．Unacceptable. D．Debatable.
34．What might Ipeelie do if her boy hits her
A．Shout at him. B．Turn to others. C．Find out the reason. D．Beat him.
35．What does Weisberg imply about using scary stories to get kids to behave
A．It improves parent-kid relationships. B．It brings about dangerous behavior.
C．It is harmful to kids. D．It should be promoted.

According to A Guide for Families by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, children, preteens, and teens can lie for varying reasons. 36 Their upsetting situations could include failing a class and other struggles with things about themselves or fitting in with their peers.
37 . This is not to say that lying is acceptable, but the less parents take it personally, the more they can calmly and constructively help their child. Children and teens who fall into anxiety easily will use lying as an unhealthy coping strategy.
What should a parent or caregiver do Try to keep in mind that kids can be quite self-absorbed and they often don’t understand how hurtful lies can be. With this in mind, here are a few tips to help promote truthfulness in your child at any age.
38 If you overreact, then you are just building a barrier between you and your child. Calmly discuss or lecture about honesty and dishonesty and why they chose to lie. 39 Your understanding may not be able to stop your teen from creating those everyday lies, but you can convey that there are other options available.
Keep in mind that addressing lying behaviours is a process not a quick fix. 40 But if you keep your own emotion positively, your child or teen is more likely to eventually open up.
While in the short term you may just get a shrug, keeping yourself calm to create a sense of emotional safety will help your voice of truth and reason be heard throughout their lives.
A．Get them to know that you understand them or their situations.
B．Try to seek some help from experts who understand them well.
C．Some kids may take a while before they feel safe to level with you.
D．When I coach parents, I help them learn not to take lies from their kids personally.
E．They try to avoid getting into trouble or lie because they are too upset to talk about painful experiences.
F．Lying is not only harmful to kids themselves, but also it hurts people around them.
G．The best you can do as a parent is to keep yourself from overreacting to your child’s lies.

When the last customer left KFC, it was already 10:30 pm. Adam, an 18-year-old college student, dragged himself home. He had been working at KFC for over a month that summer vacation.
Entering his room, Adam found his younger brother Bill sitting on the edge of his bed with an uneasy expression on his face.
“Sorry, Adam. I … I did something wrong,” Bill sprang up and said nervously.
“What is it ”
“This afternoon I sneaked (溜) out for a ride on your motorcycle and accidentally hit our neighbor Osman Brook’s car.. I was so scared and I … I hurried home in panic.”
“Is the car seriously damaged ”
“The left headlight got broken.”
“It’s truly your fault and it’s really dangerous to ride a motorcycle at your age. Besides, it’s illegal,” Adam raised his voice, obviously annoyed. Hearing this, Bill lowered his head and bit his lips hard.
“Anyway, it’s no use crying over spilt milk. I will deal with it tomorrow. Now you go to bed and have a good sleep.”
The next morning when Adam got up, Bill was still sleeping soundly. Adam was more determined about what he ought to do as an elder brother.
After breakfast, Adam took out all the money he had earned and went out of the house with it. In the yard he saw his motorcycle, on whose side the scratches (划痕) were clearly visible. Adam shook his head and sighed slightly. Then he squared his shoulders and quickened his pace to Osman’s house.
When he arrived, he was welcomed by Osman’s wife Mary, who told him that Osman had gone to the garage to have his car repaired.
“I have something important to tell him. Can I wait until he comes back ” Adam requested eagerly.
“Of course. He should be home soon,” Mary invited Adam in, served him a cup of coffee and began chatting with him.
After half an hour, the door opened and in came Osman. Having said hello to each other, Osman and Adam both sat down on the sofa.
