Having retired from the job at the brewery (啤酒厂), Harold Fry is leading a simple life with his wife Maureen when an unexpected mail arrives. The sender is a former woman colleague Harold hasn’t heard about for twenty years. Queenie Hennessy is in hospice (临终关怀医院) and is writing to say goodbye. Harold immediately writes a reply and walks eagerly to the nearest mailbox to send it.
However there is something inside him that makes him give up the thought of posting and despite Maureen’s disagreement, he starts to walk to the faraway Berwick to meet Queenie in person, lasting 87 days.
I first heard about this book The Unlikely Pilgrimage (特别之行) of Harold Fry when I was watching the interview of author Santa Montefiore. This book was a part of her reading list at her friend’s suggestion, so I decided to buy it in the bookstore during this summer. And undoubtedly I made the right choice!
The book has been divided into several chapters and it is more of a collection of short stories. In each chapter, Harold comes across different people, from a garage girl to a manager in the café, each telling a story and influencing Harold in some way. As chapters progress, you get to see a change in Harold.
When Harold makes this long single journey through the countryside, he eats wild berries and sometimes camps in fields, but my favorite parts are that he often engages (使参与) himself in his past. He looks back to his life, his father, wife, son, and Queenie. I felt this is a reminder for all of us to have a moment of our own during our busy schedule.
For a first novel, Joyce has written an incredible story. From the title of the book to the characters, everything is well organized. The story has the energy of an adventure and at the same time, it’s emotionally inspiring.
I don’t think the adapted film is better than the paper book. It’s one of those books where you feel the characters and their lives not by discussing, but only by reading it.
4. What is the text
A. A book review. B. A moving story.
C. A travel guide. D. A diary.
5. How did the author first hear of the book
A. From a bookshop owner. B. From a book.
C. From a friend’s recommendation. D. From an author’s interview.
6. Which part of the book does the author most appreciate
A. Harold’s work experience. B. Harold’s experiences in fields.
C. Harold’s reflection on past life. D. The challenges Harold faces along the way.
7. How does the author suggest truly appreciating the book
A. By discussing it with others. B. By watching a film adaptation.
C. By reading to feel the characters’ lives. D. By relating it to one’s own life experiences.

Before McElroy moved into one EngAGE community, she had never imagined her life would be like this. Although in the golden years of retirement (退休), she teaches arts, recently she has opened up an art exhibition, and is planning a flight to Paris to find inspiration for her next creative project.
Her lifestyle in many ways has been made possible by the non- profit organization EngAGE, which has revitalized (使重焕活力) the aging process by providing diverse free on- site programs in its senior communities, including novel writing, performing plays, storytelling for radio, and art shows. It helps seniors remain active, giving them the control to age the way they want to age.
The idea for EngAGE developed when founder Tim Carpenter was working in the healthcare and aging industry, trying to change a broken system. Yet he did not see the change he desired. When he met developer John Huskey, who was building good-looking senior communities, the two partnered up. “We started throwing spaghetti against the wall, and some of it stuck. And we continue to do it that way and try almost everything,” said Carpenter.
Ninety- five percent of the population EngAGE serves is low- income. Seniors are surrounded by quality programs, learning opportunities, and state-of-the-art facilities. In Carpenter’s view, retirement is like college, a new stage when you are trying to figure out what to do next. It can be a starting point, with the spare time to try something different or revisit an old passion. Those seniors can build on their knowledge of a subject or start from zero. It is only the beginning of something, not the end.
McElroy concluded, “It is a place where members are provided with endless opportunities. My son once asked, ‘How long do you plan on living here ’ and I joked, ‘They’re going to have to carry me out of here.’”
8. What can seniors do in EngAGE communities
A. Receive quality medical treatments. B. Learn the basics of novel writing.
C. Enjoy an active life with youngsters. D. Reunite with their former colleagues.
9. What does the underlined phrase “throwing spaghetti against the wall” mean
A. Changing the aging process. B. Tasting some overseas food.
C. Decorating the communities. D. Testing out various methods.
10. Which statement might Carpenter agree with
A. Seventy is the new twenty. B. A good start is half the battle.
C. Never teach old dogs new tricks. D. Passion serves as a driving force.
11. Which might be the best tine for the text
A. Carpenter’s Ambitious Programs B. EngAGE: A Place of Possibilities
C. McEtroy: I’m Not an “Old” Artist D. Community Is the Source of Strength
D
A new study has found that including climate impact labels (标签) on a fast food menu influenced participants’ food choices in favor of more climate-friendly items.
Study lead author Julia Wolfson, associate professor in the Department of International Health at the Bloomberg School, and her co-authors wanted to test how labeling climate change impacts of fast food menu items might lead people to choose less red meat. Eating too much red meat has been linked to many health problems. Eating less red meat would also help lower greenhouse gas emissions (排放).
More than 5,000 participants were shown a sample menu and asked to choose a single item for dinner. One group of participants received a menu with non-red meat items such as chicken sandwiches labeled “low climate impact”. Another group received a menu with red meat items — burgers labeled “high climate impact”. A third control group received menus without climate labels.
Both the high and low climate impact labels markedly reduced red meat choices compared to the control group. Menus with a high climate impact label on burgers increased non-beef choices by 23 percent compared to. the control group. Menus that included low climate impact labels increased non-beef choices, such as a chicken sandwich or a salad, by about 10 percent more participants than those in the control group. “These results suggest that menu labeling, particularly labels warning that an item has high climate impact, can be an effective strategy for encouraging more sustainable (可持续的) food choices in a fast food setting,” says Wolfson.
While encouraging on the whole, the results suggest that positive “low climate impact” labels are less effective in encouraging sustainable food choices compared to “high climate impact” labels. At the same time, climate labels may have the unwanted side effect of making a choice seem healthier than it actually is.
“An undeserved health halo (光环) given to unhealthy menu items could encourage people to overeat them,” Wolfson says. “So we have to look for labeling strategies that create ‘win-wins’ for encouraging both more sustainable and healthy choices.”
12. What’s the aim of the new study
A. To encourage sustainable food choices in fast food restaurants.
B. To discover the impact of climate labels on fast food choices.
C. To find out the connection between red meat and health problems.
D. To decide the best method for labeling food products in general.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The process of the study. B. The results of the study.
C. The importance of the study. D. The influence of the study.
14. What potential effect could climate labels cause
A. They may cause confusion among consumers.
B. They could make a food item seem healthier than it is.
C. They might result in people consuming more red meat.
D. They may lead to an increase in vegetarian choices.
15. What is Wolfson’s attitude towards climate impact labels on food
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Objective. D. Cautious.

I woke up early on my birthday excited to go to school and see my friends. Although my parents were not wealthy, they always tried to turn special occasions into beautiful memories with each other.
I was about to leave for school when my mother stopped me. “Wait a minute! We have something special for you!” my mother announced and offered me a shoebox. My eyebrows raised in surprise. This gift was surprising because the box looked like one of my favourite brands. When I lifted the lid, I screamed in delight.
“Happy birthday, baby!” my mom said as I grabbed the popular basketball shoes and tried them on.“I got them from Mr. Byrne’s thrift shop (旧货店), but they look pretty new, right ” “I don’t care where they came from, Mom. They are amazing! Thank you so much!”I held them fondly. “I can’t wait to show them off at school!”
Of course, I received lots of praise at school. Suddenly, Brandon, one of my classmates, shouted, “Look! There’s something written here!” I looked carefully and saw the words “To my dearest boy…” on a sole (鞋底).
“Your mom probably wrote them,” Brandon stated.
I shook my head. “My mom’s handwriting is not like this. It must be from the old owner.”
I wondered about the words the rest of the day. Someone had really loved my sneakers, and maybe these shoes held much meaning to someone else.
After school, I walked to Mr. Byrne’s store and asked around. The older man said, “Oh, they were brought in by a kid named Samuel. He lives in a red house nearby. Mrs. Gherkins’ son, I believe.”
“Do you know why he sold them ”
“Most people bring stuff here because they need money,” Mr. Byrne stated.
I walked out of the store, thinking about how sad the boy probably was. I wanted to know what happened, so I looked around that street and soon spotted the red house.

（1）续写词数应为150个左右；

【答案】The Autumn Harvest
To reinforce labor education, our school organized an “Autumn Harvest” activity on October 8th, with all the freshmen participating in it.
During the event, the students were taken to the rice fields, where they eagerly engaged in the traditional tasks including cutting rice stalks and threshing the grain. Under the guidance of experienced farmers, the students also learned to start fires and cook their own meals, laughter and cheerful exchanges filling in the air.
This activity not only provided students with hands-on experience but also instilled in them a great appreciation for the efforts of farmers and a sense of responsibility.
【解析】

【答案】Paragraph 1:
I walked up to the front steps and knocked on the door. Out came a kid, calling himself Samuel. After greeting, I came straight to the point, asking why the shoes went to the thrift shop. From Samuel’s hesitant words, I knew the fact that his family needed money badly because of his father’s sudden illness. Thus, Samuel had to give up the precious birthday gift. Moved by what he said, I took off the shoes and handed them to Samuel without hesitation, wishing his family all the best. Tears in eyes, Samuel thanked me again and again.
Paragraph 2:
I returned home barefoot and my parents were shocked. Before they could say anything, the whole story came pouring out. “The amazing shoes have been back to the owner, Samuel! There’s special meaning to him!” I asked my parents to forgive me for my immediate action without referring to their opinions. Instead of scolding (训斥) me, my parents went over and hugged me tightly, praising me for what I had done. Later on, I got another special pair of shoes for my birthday. Such a “small” but beautiful memory inspired me to be a better person.
