When Arsh was a young boy, his parents, Divya Pal and Sanjeev, signed him up for extracurricular activities such as piano, karate （空手道） and gymnastics, but he preferred art. When Arsh turned 8, he received a watercolor paint set as a birthday gift. He spent all his spare time painting. That’s how he started painting.
Around the same time, Arsh often visited a local nursing home, where his mother works. Spending time there inspired him to start selling his art for a good cause. “I want to help people in need through my paintings,” he said.
And so began his fundraising （筹款） program, which he called “Art by Arsh”. He sold his paintings at local art shows, restaurants and libraries, as well as on his Instagram account and Facebook page. He donated his first $1,000 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in 2018, and has since reached various other charities.
Arsh, now 12, mostly makes commissioned （委托创作的） pieces, and several of his customers have come back wanting more. That includes his neighbor, Jolene Schaver, who has five of Arsh’s creations hanging in her home and has bought many more for friends and family. “I was amazed at how talented he was at such a young age, without any formal training,” said Schaver.
Along with selling his paintings to benefit nonprofit organizations, Arsh now also teaches art lessons at the local nursing home. And he thought about accessibility, and realized not all people have the resources （资源） to make art—which has the capacity to comfort and heal （治愈）. “One of my future goals is to make art accessible for kids who want to express themselves,” Arsh said. He has already started offering free art lessons to local children, and he hopes to expand （扩展） his classes further in the future.
（ ）24．What do we know about the young Arsh according to the first paragraph

C．He showed a lively interest in art. D．He got a place at an art school.
（ ）25．Why did Arsh start “Art by Arsh”

C．To donate some of his paintings to charities. D．To decorate local libraries with his paintings.
（ ）26．Which of the following best describes Arsh
A．Warm-hearted and humorous. B．Hard-working and honest.
C．Gifted and generous. D．Kind and brave.
（ ）27．What does Arsh expect to do in the future
A．Form more nonprofit organizations. B．Learn more about the healing power of art.
C．Do more voluntary work at the nursing home. D．Create more opportunities for kids to make art.

Joseph was an English physician. His father worked in a coal yard. Joseph was the first born in the poor family of seven children. At the age of 15, he had to quit school and get a medical apprenticeship.
When visiting coal miners as an apprentice （学徒）, Joseph me t with cholera （霍乱）—a disease which later became the focus of his scientific research. Joseph began his formal medical education in 1836. In 1837, he began to work at the Westminster Hospital. Then, in 1838, he was admitted as a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. Six years later, he received a Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of London. He was admitted to the Royal College of Physicians in 1850.
Joseph is famous for two of his studies. The first study concerned the Broad Street pump （水泵） outbreak of 1854．He used graphs and maps to show the impact of the polluted water coming from the Broad Street pump. Snow reasoned that cholera was caused by a germ （细菌） that spread through polluted water, which diverged from the view held by other physicians that cholera was spread by bad air. The second study was the “Grand Experiment”, also of 1854．In 1849, he first published his ideas and observations in an essay, On the Mode of Communication of Cholera.
（ ）28．What can we know about Joseph from Paragraph 1
A．He was an English physicist.
B．He came from a poor family.
C．He was the youngest child in his family.
D．He used to be an apprentice in a coal yard.
（ ）29．When did he get a Doctor of Medicine degree
A．In 1838. B．In 1843. C．In 1844. D．In 1850.
（ ）30．Which of the following words can replace the underlined word
A．Disagreed. B．Distanced. C．Differed. D．Defended.
（ ）31．What is the topic of the last paragraph
A．Joseph’s great impact. B．Joseph’s famous essay.
C．Joseph’s study method. D．Joseph’s well-known research.
D
Want to reduce your risk of dementia （痴呆） Start counting your steps—you’ll need between 3,800 and 9,800 each day to reduce your risk of mental decline, according to a new study.
People between the ages of 40 and 79 who took 9,826 steps per day were 50% less likely to develop dementia within seven years, the study found. Furthermore, people who walked with “purpose”—at a speed over 40 steps a minute—were able to cut their risk of dementia by 57% with just 6,315 steps a day. Even people who walked about 3,800 steps a day at any speed cut their risk by 25%.
“That would be enough, at first, for sedentary （久坐不动） people,” said Cruz, a senior researcher in health sciences. “In fact, it is a message that doctors could use to inspire sedentary older adults—4,000 steps is achievable by many, even those less fit,” he added. “Perhaps, more active and fitter people should aim for 10,000, where we see the largest effects.”
But there was an even more interesting result hidden in the study, according to an article entitled “Is 112 the New 10,000 ”
The largest reduction （降低） in dementia risk—62%—was achieved by people who walked at a very easy speed of 112 steps per minute for 30 minutes a day, the study found. Earlier research has marked 100 steps a minute as an easy or middle level of strength.
The article argued that people looking to reduce their risk of dementia should focus on their walking speed over their walking distance.
“We do agree this is a very interesting finding,” said Cruz. “Our take is that strength of stepping matters! Technology could be used to track not only the number of steps but also the speed and so these types of measures can also be applied in commercial watches. More research is needed on this.”
（ ）32．What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A．Old people are more likely to have dementia.
B．Young people had better walk 9,826 steps a day.
C．It is harmful for people over 40 to walk too fast.
D．It is good for people to walk about 3,800 steps a day.
（ ）33．At what speed can you walk with the least risk of dementia
A．About 3,800 steps a day at any speed.
B．About 100 steps a minute a day.
C．At a speed over 40 steps a minute for 30 minutes a day.
D．At a speed of 112 steps a minute for half an hour a day.
（ ）34．What will future studies probably focus on about walking
A．The speed. B．The steps. C．The reasons. D．The benefits.
（ ）35．What is the main idea of the text
A．Those who keep walking are less likely to develop dementia.
B．Walking each day can cut your risk of dementia but speed matters.
C．Walk a certain number of steps each day to cut your risk of dementia.
D．The more steps you take, the less risk of dementia you suffer from.

Simon was a curious boy. He lived with his grandfather. Simon was fond of reading adventure stories. So he was always curious about the storeroom （储藏室） where his grandfather kept his priceless antiques （古董）. Though Simon knew his grandfather did not like anyone to touch his rare collections, he quietly entered the storeroom without his grandfather’s permission （允许） one night.
Once inside the room, Simon stood on a chair. He lifted the big box wherein his grandfather had kept many valuable watches bought from different countries he had visited. While getting down from the chair, Simon’s elbow （肘部） struck （撞） against the chair. When he tried his best to pull his arm out, the box slipped （滑落） out of his hands and fell onto the floor. All the watches lay all around. To his shock （震惊）. he found the glass of his grandfather’s favorite watch broken （损坏的）. Simon was afraid that his grandfather would come to know about the broken glass. He started picking up the pieces of glass hurriedly. Simon thought,“My grandmother gifted the watch to my grandfather. This must be one of his most treasured possessions （所有物）. How could I tell him that his favorite watch had broken He must be angry with me. If I do not tell him, he will not come to know about it.”Simon got nervous. His heart started beating faster. He put the broken watch back into the box and placed the box back on the shelf. Afterwards, he went to sleep. However, he could not sleep in peace throughout the whole night. The broken watch even showed up in his dream.
The next morning, Simon got up much earlier than before. The sleepless night made him realize that holding back the truth itself was more uncomfortable than breaking the watch. “But that watch is Grandpa’s favorite and he told me to be careful of the box before.”Simon said to himself and didn’t dare to face his grandfather.

Though still worried about himself being scolded, Simon finally gathered the courage to see his grandfather. He admitted his fault to his grandfather in a low voice. His grandfather said nothing and went to the storeroom. Simon kept standing with his head down. Having returned from the storeroom, his grandfather said, “I felt very angry when you had broken my precious watch that your grandmother gifted to me on our first wedding anniversary.” But don’t worry. It can be mended.” Simon felt relieved. His grandfather said in a soft voice, “It was brave enough of you to tell me about the broken watch. You knew that I would scold you, didn’t you ”
Simon said, “I was scared at first, but I dared not tell a lie.” Simon’s grandfather smiled, “When I was at your age, I also broke my mother’s precious vase. I was scared to admit my mistake. But when I went to confess, she said that she had already known about it. It is not embarrassing to admit our mistakes. Instead, admitting our mistakes actively reflects our responsible attitude.”
