John has been a devoted hockey (冰球) enthusiast. In the past around two decades back, John, a part of the local junior league team, The Rapid, was an influential ice hockey competitor in his hometown, even with a considerable group of admirers. However, a knee injury in his teenage years ended his hopes of a career on the ice.
Years passed, and John grew into a successful businessman, but his love for hockey never disappeared. One day, he stumbled upon an opportunity to review his childhood passion. The Rapid was organizing a charity (慈善) game to raise money for the town’s youth sports program. John reached out to the team’s manager, Mr Smith, with a special request. He wanted to suit up and play as the goaltender (守门员) for one period of the game, just for the fun of it and to encourage the younger players. Mr Smith was delighted and quickly arranged for John to join the team for the day.
The news that John would take part in the game spread like wildfire in the town, and the stadium was packed with excited supporters. On the big day, John put on his old, a bit worn but still cherished hockey equipment (装备). He stepped onto the ice, feeling a rush of emotions that he hadn’t felt in decades. The crowd burst into cheers as he faced the first shot, and with each save, the energy grew. After the game, John surprised everyone by donating his game-worn equipment and a generous check to the local youth sports program. “I may not have been able to become a professional,” he said, “but I’m happy to give back and help these kids chase their dreams.”
People were deeply moved by John’s selflessness in supporting the next generation. It was a reminder that even when our own dreams seem out of reach we can still make a difference to the lives of others.

Spanish scientist Pilar Bosch has found a way to use bacteria (细菌) to repair 18th-century paintings. Bosch, a microbiologist, said that she got the idea for the method while considering possibilities for a paper toward her doctoral degree. During this process, she discovered someone else’s paper that suggested bacteria can be used to repair artworks.
At around the same time, Bosch learned that her mother, Pilar Roig, was struggling to find a good method for repairing 18th-century paintings. The paintings, by Spanish artist Antonio Palomino, sat in Santos Juanes—one of the oldest churches in the city of Valencia. Pilar Roig noted how difficult the repair process at the church was. One reason was the glue (胶水) used to remove the paintings from the walls in the 1960s. The glue was nearly impossible to remove completely.
“My mother had a very difficult problem to solve and I found a paper about bacteria used to clean paintings on walls in Italy,” Bosch said. Bosch added she decided to write her doctoral paper on the same subject. Today, she gets to work with her mother on the church repair. They are using the bacteria method to remove glue from artworks. The $4.46 million project is being financed by local organizations.
To repair, they feed small amounts of the glue that was made from animal collagen (胶原蛋白) to the bacteria. After a time, the bacteria begin to naturally produce enzymes (酶) to break down the glue. The mother-daughter team then mixes the bacteria with a natural algae-based substance, called a gel (凝胶), and places it onto the paintings. After about three hours, the gel mixture is removed, leaving the paintings glue-free.
Bosch’s mother, now 75, noted that in the past, people working on repairing artworks had to use traditional cleaning methods that took hours and damaged the painting. Bosch is now training other scientists to use a different kind of bacteria to clear walls of painted graffiti.
8. How did Bosch find the way to repair old paintings
A. Her mother inspired her. B. Her doctor instructed her.
C. She tested it out by many experiments. D. She found it when preparing her paper.
9. What made it difficult to repair the old paintings
A. Not having enough money. B. The history of the churches.
C. The glue that was once used. D. Experience of past failures.
10. What is paragraph 4 centered on
A. The process of cleaning the paintings.
B. The necessity of repa ring the paintings.
C. The challenges facing the mother-daughter team.
D The materials that are used to clean the paintings.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Bacteria Removal Process Is Widely Used in Spain.
B. Spanish Scientist Uses Bacteria to Repair Artworks.
C. Old Artworks Are Likely to Be Repaired with Bacteria.
D. Spanish Mother-Daughter Team Discovered A Painting.
D
Curling (冰壶), originating in Scotland, dates back to the early 16th century. Often referred to as “chess on ice”, it includes two teams of four players taking turns to slide (滑动) round stones on a special ice surface towards a circle that looks like a dartboard (镖靶). Called the “house”, this circle acts as a score board. The goal for each side is to get their stones closest to the center, or “button”.
A special part of the game is the use of a broom to sweep the ice in front of the sliding stone. As many viewers of curling might have noticed, in curling, players usually sweep hard while keeping up to speed with the stone thrown, and a person on the other end directing and shouting at the sweepers “HARD!” during the game. With three players taking turns throwing stones and sweeping ice, and one person, called the “skip”, often the team leader, throwing the last two stones, the whole game depends on each other to win the competition. Similar to many other sports, curling takes more interactions to win than personal ability.
Curling is often considered a gentleman’s sport because all players of the game should have good etiquette. As with many other sports, curling has rules about how to keep the respect and fun of the game for everyone. It usually starts with both teams sharing a handshake and greetings before the start of the game. Unlike other sports, each player follows the “do not disturb (打扰)” rule when the others are playing. With such a unique approach to playing a competitive sport, curling can teach both players and audiences alike the values of respect and fairness.
Curling is fresh in China, but it is quickly gaining popularity. There are professional curling venues and training bases all over the country. On the international stage, the Chinese curling team is also performing increasingly well. This has inspired more passion among Chinese people for the sport.
12. What is the function of the “house” in the curling game
A. To make the stones slide much faster. B. To show the results of each of game.
C. To offer a place for the players to rest. D. To get the stones closest to the “button”.
13. What is the key to winning a curling game for a team according to paragraph 2
A. Team members’ working together. B. The ability of an excellent player.
C. The sweepers’ speed to slide stones. D. The team leader’s last two stones.
14. What does the underlined word “etiquette” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Luck. B. Health. C. Manners. D. Skills.
15. Which word can best describe curling’s development in China
A. Uncertain. B. Challenging. C. Worrying. D. Hopeful.

John has been a devoted hockey (冰球) enthusiast.

However, a knee injury in his teenage years ended his hopes of a career on the ice.
Years passed, and John grew into a successful businessman, but his love for hockey never disappeared. One day, he stumbled upon an opportunity to review his childhood passion.

Spanish scientist Pilar Bosch has found a way to use bacteria (细菌) to repair 18th-century paintings. Bosch, a microbiologist, said that she got the idea for the method while considering possibilities for a paper toward her doctoral degree. During this process, she discovered someone else’s paper that suggested bacteria can be used to repair artworks.
At around the same time, Bosch learned that her mother, Pilar Roig, was struggling to find a good method for repairing 18th-century paintings. The paintings, by Spanish artist Antonio Palomino, sat in Santos Juanes—one of the oldest churches in the city of Valencia. Pilar Roig noted how difficult the repair process at the church was. One reason was the glue (胶水) used to remove the paintings from the walls in the 1960s. The glue was nearly impossible to remove completely.
“My mother had a very difficult problem to solve and I found a paper about bacteria used to clean paintings on walls in Italy,” Bosch said. Bosch added she decided to write her doctoral paper on the same subject. Today, she gets to work with her mother on the church repair. They are using the bacteria method to remove glue from artworks. The $4.46 million project is being financed by local organizations.
To repair, they feed small amounts of the glue that was made from animal collagen (胶原蛋白) to the bacteria. After a time, the bacteria begin to naturally produce enzymes (酶) to break down the glue. The mother-daughter team then mixes the bacteria with a natural algae-based substance, called a gel (凝胶), and places it onto the paintings. After about three hours, the gel mixture is removed, leaving the paintings glue-free.
Bosch’s mother, now 75, noted that in the past, people working on repairing artworks had to use traditional cleaning methods that took hours and damaged the painting. Bosch is now training other scientists to use a different kind of bacteria to clear walls of painted graffiti.
8. How did Bosch find the way to repair old paintings
A. Her mother inspired her. B. Her doctor instructed her.
C. She tested it out by many experiments. D. She found it when preparing her paper.
9. What made it difficult to repair the old paintings
A. Not having enough money. B. The history of the churches.
C. The glue that was once used. D. Experience of past failures.
10. What is paragraph 4 centered on
A. The process of cleaning the paintings.
B. The necessity of repa ring the paintings.
C. The challenges facing the mother-daughter team.
D. The materials that are used to clean the paintings.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Bacteria Removal Process Is Widely Used in Spain.
B Spanish Scientist Uses Bacteria to Repair Artworks.
C. Old Artworks Are Likely to Be Repaired with Bacteria.
D. Spanish Mother-Daughter Team Discovered A Painting.

Curling (冰壶), originating in Scotland, dates back to the early 16th century. Often referred to as “chess on ice”, it includes two teams of four players taking turns to slide (滑动) round stones on a special ice surface towards a circle that looks like a dartboard (镖靶). Called the “house”, this circle acts as a score board. The goal for each side is to get their stones closest to the center, or “button”.
A special part of the game is the use of a broom to sweep the ice in front of the sliding stone. As many viewers of curling might have noticed, in curling, players usually sweep hard while keeping up to speed with the stone thrown, and a person on the other end directing and shouting at the sweepers “HARD!” during the game. With three players taking turns throwing stones and sweeping ice, and one person, called the “skip”, often the team leader, throwing the last two stones, the whole game depends on each other to win the competition. Similar to many other sports, curling takes more interactions to win than personal ability.
Curling is often considered a gentleman’s sport because all players of the game should have good etiquette. As with many other sports, curling has rules about how to keep the respect and fun of the game for everyone. It usually starts with both teams sharing a handshake and greetings before the start of the game. Unlike other sports, each player follows the “do not disturb (打扰)” rule when the others are playing. With such a unique approach to playing a competitive sport, curling can teach both players and audiences alike the values of respect and fairness.
Curling is fresh in China, but it is quickly gaining popularity. There are professional curling venues and training bases all over the country. On the international stage, the Chinese curling team is also performing increasingly well. This has inspired more passion among Chinese people for the sport.
12. What is the function of the “house” in the curling game
A. To make the stones slide much faster. B. To show the results of each of game.
C. To offer a place for the players to rest. D. To get the stones closest to the “button”.
13. What is the key to winning a curling game for a team according to paragraph 2
A. Team members’ working together. B. The ability of an excellent player.
C. The sweepers’ speed to slide stones. D. The team leader’s last two stones.
14. What does the underlined word “etiquette” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Luck. B. Health. C. Manners. D. Skills.
15. Which word can best describe curling’s development in China
A. Uncertain. B. Challenging. C. Worrying. D. Hopeful.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D

Curling (冰壶), originating in Scotland, dates back to the early 16th century. Often referred to as “chess on ice”, it includes two teams of four players taking turns to slide (滑动) round stones on a special ice surface towards a circle that looks like a dartboard (镖靶). Called the “house”, this circle acts as a score board. The goal for each side is to get their stones closest to the center, or “button”.
A special part of the game is the use of a broom to sweep the ice in front of the sliding stone. As many viewers of curling might have noticed, in curling, players usually sweep hard while keeping up to speed with the stone thrown, and a person on the other end directing and shouting at the sweepers “HARD!” during the game. With three players taking turns throwing stones and sweeping ice, and one person, called the “skip”, often the team leader, throwing the last two stones, the whole game depends on each other to win the competition. Similar to many other sports, curling takes more interactions to win than personal ability.
Curling is often considered a gentleman’s sport because all players of the game should have good etiquette. As with many other sports, curling has rules about how to keep the respect and fun of the game for everyone. It usually starts with both teams sharing a handshake and greetings before the start of the game. Unlike other sports, each player follows the “do not disturb (打扰)” rule when the others are playing. With such a unique approach to playing a competitive sport, curling can teach both players and audiences alike the values of respect and fairness.
Curling is fresh in China, but it is quickly gaining popularity. There are professional curling venues and training bases all over the country. On the international stage, the Chinese curling team is also performing increasingly well. This has inspired more passion among Chinese people for the sport.
12. What is the function of the “house” in the curling game
A. To make the stones slide much faster. B. To show the results of each of game.
C. To offer a place for the players to rest. D. To get the stones closest to the “button”.
13. What is the key to winning a curling game for a team according to paragraph 2
A. Team members’ working together. B. The ability of an excellent player.
C. The sweepers’ speed to slide stones. D. The team leader’s last two stones.
14. What does the underlined word “etiquette” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Luck. B. Health. C. Manners. D. Skills.
15. Which word can best describe curling’s development in China
A. Uncertain. B. Challenging. C. Worrying. D. Hopeful.

John has been a devoted hockey (冰球) enthusiast. In the past around two decades back, John, a part of the local junior league team, The Rapid, was an influential ice hockey competitor in his hometown, even with a considerable group of admirers. However, a knee injury in his teenage years ended his hopes of a career on the ice.
Years passed, and John grew into a successful businessman, but his love for hockey never disappeared. One day, he stumbled upon an opportunity to review his childhood passion. The Rapid was organizing a charity (慈善) game to raise money for the town’s youth sports program. John reached out to the team’s manager, Mr Smith, with a special request. He wanted to suit up and play as the goaltender (守门员) for one period of the game, just for the fun of it and to encourage the younger players. Mr Smith was delighted and quickly arranged for John to join the team for the day.
The news that John would take part in the game spread like wildfire in the town, and the stadium was packed with excited supporters. On the big day, John put on his old, a bit worn but still cherished hockey equipment (装备). He stepped onto the ice, feeling a rush of emotions that he hadn’t felt in decades. The crowd burst into cheers as he faced the first shot, and with each save, the energy grew. After the game, John surprised everyone by donating his game-worn equipment and a generous check to the local youth sports program. “I may not have been able to become a professional,” he said, “but I’m happy to give back and help these kids chase their dreams.”
People were deeply moved by John’s selflessness in supporting the next generation. It was a reminder that even when our own dreams seem out of reach, we can still make a difference to the lives of others.

Spanish scientist Pilar Bosch has found a way to use bacteria (细菌) to repair 18th-century paintings. Bosch, a microbiologist, said that she got the idea for the method while considering possibilities for a paper toward her doctoral degree. During this process, she discovered someone else’s paper that suggested bacteria can be used to repair artworks.
At around the same time, Bosch learned that her mother, Pilar Roig, was struggling to find a good method for repairing 18th-century paintings. The paintings, by Spanish artist Antonio Palomino, sat in Santos Juanes—one of the oldest churches in the city of Valencia. Pilar Roig noted how difficult the repair process at the church was. One reason was the glue (胶水) used to remove the paintings from the walls in the 1960s. The glue was nearly impossible to remove completely.
“My mother had a very difficult problem to solve and I found a paper about bacteria used to clean paintings on walls in Italy,” Bosch said. Bosch added she decided to write her doctoral paper on the same subject. Today, she gets to work with her mother on the church repair. They are using the bacteria method to remove glue from artworks. The $4.46 million project is being financed by local organizations.
To repair, they feed small amounts of the glue that was made from animal collagen (胶原蛋白) to the bacteria. After a time, the bacteria begin to naturally produce enzymes (酶) to break down the glue. The mother-daughter team then mixes the bacteria with a natural algae-based substance, called a gel (凝胶), and places it onto the paintings. After about three hours, the gel mixture is removed, leaving the paintings glue-free.
Bosch’s mother, now 75, noted that in the past, people working on repairing artworks had to use traditional cleaning methods that took hours and damaged the painting. Bosch is now training other scientists to use a different kind of bacteria to clear walls of painted graffiti.
8. How did Bosch find the way to repair old paintings
A. Her mother inspired her. B. Her doctor instructed her.
C. She tested it out by many experiments. D. She found it when preparing her paper.
9. What made it difficult to repair the old paintings
A. Not having enough money. B. The history of the churches.
C. The glue that was once used. D. Experience of past failures.
10. What is paragraph 4 centered on
A. The process of cleaning the paintings.
B. The necessity of repa ring the paintings.
C. The challenges facing the mother-daughter team.
D. The materials that are used to clean the paintings.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Bacteria Removal Process Is Widely Used in Spain.
B Spanish Scientist Uses Bacteria to Repair Artworks.
C. Old Artworks Are Likely to Be Repaired with Bacteria.
D. Spanish Mother-Daughter Team Discovered A Painting.

Days later, when the results were announced (宣布), Lily and Tom were overjoyed to find out that their efforts had paid off, and they had both achieved excellent grades. To celebrate, they decided to take a well- deserved break and go on a trip to the nearby amusement park during the weekend.
The park was filled with excitement that day, and Lily and Tom wasted no time diving into the relaxing activities. They rode roller coasters, watched live performances and were lost in cotton candy, laughing and chatting the whole time. The sun shone brightly in autumn, and their spirits were high. As the day drew to a close, they began to make their way to the exit, their hearts full of joy and memories.
Suddenly, just as they were walking on the way home, they heard a weak sound from somewhere. Following the sound, they found a small, injured puppy (小狗) lying on the roadside. Without any thought, they rushed over to help.
