【原文】A long time ago, most films were silent. A man named Walt Disney made a cartoon mouse that could talk in his films. It was Mickey Mouse. People were very excited with the talking mouse, and soon Mickey became very popular with both young and old people. Children love to see their lovely friend, because he brought joy and laughter to them. Mickey was a clean mouse. Perhaps this is why people love Mickey Mouse though they don’t like real mice.
In his early life, Mickey used to make mistakes. People were very angry. They wrote to Disney and said that they didn’t want Mickey to do silly things. As there were some silly things Mickey could not do, Disney made a new animal Donald Duck and a dog called Pluto. This dog does silly things and makes mistakes wherever he goes. Now our Mickey is not only clean, but more importantly, he becomes a beautiful and clever star. He has his friends in almost every country.

I was born and raised in Hawaii, where I learned to appreciate and respect a diversity of cultures as a member of its very successful Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. Most of my classmates stayed in Hawaii for college or went to schools on the West Coast, but I decided to broaden my horizons by attending Purdue University in Indiana. While there, I discovered I was a minority—something I had never experienced back home.
Being a minority for the first time, I felt like an outsider. My ideas, interests and values were constantly considered not as important as my heritage. After sharing an alternate point of view, I would often hear: “What do you know You’re from Hawaii.” These responses eventually made me less enthusiastic about telling people where I was from; I had lost pride in my heritage.
That summer I went home to work for a political non-profit in Honolulu, where I discovered a love for working on laws. Slowly, my pride in my heritage came back. I came to the realization that everyone is raised differently, and the people who had previously dismissed me were so focused on their ideas of where I came from—a remote, beautiful island—that they were ignorant of my culture and the value that other views and opinions can offer.
I returned to Purdue with a newfound love for my background. I decided to share my culture with everyone I could and, after I did, I found people were more willing to hear my ideas. I changed my major to political science and decided I wanted to be a civil servant, with the goal of helping people of Asian American Pacific Islander backgrounds. I strongly believe if more AAPIs are given opportunities to expand their horizons by attending universities across America and the globe, the ignorance will go away and more voices will be heard.
I’m still young and have much to learn, but I will always remain proud of my heritage. It has shaped the person I am today and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. I’ve also learned to be more tolerant and patient. Regardless of what I do professionally, I will make sure to provide a safe space for people to express their ideas and backgrounds without fear of being excluded.
46．Why did the writer attend a university in Indiana
A．To get a better education. B．To make more friends.
C．To appreciate the scenery. D．To know more about the world.
47．The underlined word “minority” means ________.
A．外国人 B．少数人群 C．公务员 D．律师
48．We can learn from the passage that the writer once ________.
A．didn't like colleges in Purdue
B．worked on laws in Purdue
C．didn't like to be known as a Hawaiian student
D．changed his major in a Hawaiian college

【答案】46．D 47．B 48．C 49．A 50．A
【导语】本文讲述了作者一开始作为少数群体中一员所面临的困境，但他后来理解了这一切，他为自己的传统感到自豪，并去努力守护人们表达自我的权利。
46．细节理解题。由第一段“I decided to broaden my horizons by attending Purdue University in Indiana.”可知，作者决定去印第安纳州的普渡大学开阔眼界，故选D。

49．推理判断题。由文章第二、三段可知，作者在印第安纳总是被其他人忽视，并强调他来自异乡，别人不听他的意见和想法，所以可以推测他的情绪可能会非常失落，故选A。
50．最佳标题题。由文章最后一段“…I will always remain proud of my heritage. It has shaped the person I am today…I will make sure to provide a safe space for people to express their ideas and backgrounds without fear of being excluded.”并结合全文可知，作者永远为他的传统感到自豪，他的这段经历更激励他去努力守护人们表达自己的权利，故选A。

In the countries all over the world, people are leaving the countryside in large numbers to find jobs in the cities. They leave because the countryside is much poorer than the city. 56 Services such as hospitals and transport are usually much better in cities than they are in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.
But in the big cities of Europe and America, people are moving out of the city. These are usually families who have some money, and want to live a quieter life. 57 They are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don’t want to sit in traffic any more. They want a house with a garden, and clean air that isn’t polluted.
So they move out. Some don’t go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities, and other people move to the real countryside with sheep and cows and green fields! 58
Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don’t make so much money and there isn’t much work to do. 59
As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. “It’s wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights,” they say, “ 60 ”

An old saying goes, “Laughter is the best medicine.” It’s true that laughter is really good for our health. So, the next time you’re feeling stressed, try to laugh a lot, develop a sense of humor and watch funny films.
The Comic Relief charity, an organization that helps people in need, uses laughter to raise money. Every two years in spring, many English people put on a red nose, make a fool of themselves and do “silly” things to make themselves and others laugh. Examples of silly things you can do are:
Invite friends round to your house to watch funny films. They have to pay to watch the films and for food and drinks. Those with the most comfortable chairs pay more.
Hold a talent show at school and ask your friends and teachers to sing, dance or tell jokes. Sell tickets for the show to the rest of the school.
Have a red nose party at your house. All your friends come dressed in red, including red nose, and you serve red food and drinks. If they don’t wear red, they have to pay a fine(罚款).
Get the students in your school to make funny sculptures using all kinds of things. Sell tickets to your Red Nose Day exhibition and part of the money goes to Comic Relief.
The organization has helped people for more than 20 years. And how much have they collected since the first Red Nose Day Over 600 million! The idea of Red Nose Day has traveled to other countries, too. In New Zealand, for example, people have made big red noses which they put on the front of cars and even buildings.
71．What is the Comic Relief charity
72．Who should pay more when invited to watch funny films
73．When will people have to pay a fine
74．According to the passage, where do people celebrate the Red Nose Day
75．What do you think of the Comic Relief charity
【答案】71．It is an organization that helps people in need.
Those with the most comfortable chairs should pay more.
When people don’t wear red at a red nose party, they have to pay a fine.
In England, New Zealand and some other countries.
75．It helps people in need in a clever/wise/humorous way.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个叫做喜剧救济基金会的慈善机构，它帮助有需要的人，用笑声来筹集资金。
71．根据第二段第一句“The Comic Relief charity, an organization that helps people in need...”可知，喜剧救济基金会是一个帮助有需要的人的组织，故填It is an organization that helps people in need.
72．根据第三段最后一句“Those with the most comfortable chairs pay more.”可知，座位最舒适的人要付更多的钱。故填Those with the most comfortable chairs should pay more.
73．根据第五段最后一句“If they don’t wear red, they have to pay a fine(罚款).”可知，没穿红色衣服的人要支付罚款。故填When people don’t wear red at a red nose party, they have to pay a fine.
74．根据第二段第二句“Every two years in spring, many English people put on a red nose...”和最后一段最后两句“The idea of Red Nose Day has traveled to other countries, too. In New Zealand, for example...”可知，英国、新西兰和其他国家会庆祝“红鼻子日”，故填In England, New Zealand and some other countries.
75．开放性作答，结合实际，言之成理即可。参考答案为It helps people in need in a clever/wise/humorous way.

More and more people are always looking at their mobile phones with their heads down. Mr. White often sees people in the restaurant eating face to face while looking at their own mobile phones. He thinks it is strange that they don’t talk to the ones who sit opposite to them during the meal. Some of them even have fun chatting (闲聊) with others on the phone.

I was born and raised in Hawaii, where I learned to appreciate and respect a diversity of cultures as a member of its very successful Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. Most of my classmates stayed in Hawaii for college or went to schools on the West Coast, but I decided to broaden my horizons by attending Purdue University in Indiana. While there, I discovered I was a minority—something I had never experienced back home.
Being a minority for the first time, I felt like an outsider. My ideas, interests and values were constantly considered not as important as my heritage. After sharing an alternate point of view, I would often hear: “What do you know You’re from Hawaii.” These responses eventually made me less enthusiastic about telling people where I was from; I had lost pride in my heritage.
That summer I went home to work for a political non-profit in Honolulu, where I discovered a love for working on laws. Slowly, my pride in my heritage came back. I came to the realization that everyone is raised differently, and the people who had previously dismissed me were so focused on their ideas of where I came from—a remote, beautiful island—that they were ignorant of my culture and the value that other views and opinions can offer.
I returned to Purdue with a newfound love for my background. I decided to share my culture with everyone I could and, after I did, I found people were more willing to hear my ideas. I changed my major to political science and decided I wanted to be a civil servant, with the goal of helping people of Asian American Pacific Islander backgrounds. I strongly believe if more AAPIs are given opportunities to expand their horizons by attending universities across America and the globe, the ignorance will go away and more voices will be heard.
I’m still young and have much to learn, but I will always remain proud of my heritage. It has shaped the person I am today and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. I’ve also learned to be more tolerant and patient. Regardless of what I do professionally, I will make sure to provide a safe space for people to express their ideas and backgrounds without fear of being excluded.
46．Why did the writer attend a university in Indiana
A．To get a better education. B．To make more friends.
C．To appreciate the scenery. D．To know more about the world.
47．The underlined word “minority” means ________.

A．didn't like colleges in Purdue
B．worked on laws in Purdue
C．didn't like to be known as a Hawaiian student
D．changed his major in a Hawaiian college
49．How did the writer feel when he first moved to Indiana

An old saying goes, “Laughter is the best medicine.” It’s true that laughter is really good for our health. So, the next time you’re feeling stressed, try to laugh a lot, develop a sense of humor and watch funny films.
The Comic Relief charity, an organization that helps people in need, uses laughter to raise money. Every two years in spring, many English people put on a red nose, make a fool of themselves and do “silly” things to make themselves and others laugh. Examples of silly things you can do are:
Invite friends round to your house to watch funny films. They have to pay to watch the films and for food and drinks. Those with the most comfortable chairs pay more.
Hold a talent show at school and ask your friends and teachers to sing, dance or tell jokes. Sell tickets for the show to the rest of the school.
Have a red nose party at your house. All your friends come dressed in red, including red nose, and you serve red food and drinks. If they don’t wear red, they have to pay a fine(罚款).
Get the students in your school to make funny sculptures using all kinds of things. Sell tickets to your Red Nose Day exhibition and part of the money goes to Comic Relief.
The organization has helped people for more than 20 years. And how much have they collected since the first Red Nose Day Over 600 million!
