One of the best ways to pay for college is to find work that helps bear part of the school fee. Here are 4 types of part-time jobs that provide students with extra income.
Jobs with employer scholarships
Some companies offer help by paying for college through scholarship programs. Taco Bell, for instance, offers its part-time employees the chance to win an up to $25,000 award through its Live Mas Scholarship. The award can be used toward vocational schools or a two- or four-year college. Employees must have worked for the company at least three continuous months.
Work-study
For years the work-study program has allowed students to earn money through part-time work. Students aged between 16 and 24 who file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid may be qualified for the program. While these jobs aren t always on campus, students in work-study can earn at least $7.25 per hour—the state s minimum wage.
Paid internships
A paid trainee position can not only help students pay for college but can also open doors for full-time work after graduation. According to a 2019 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, nearly two-thirds of paid interns received a job offer, while just about 44% of unpaid interns were offered a job.
On-demand economy jobs
Known for their flexibility, the jobs can help students earn cash between classes. These on-demand jobs include completing small jobs, making deliveries or even driving for ride-booking services. Students can typically earn more through on-demand work, ranging from $10 to $20 an hour.
21.What are the applicants for the work-study program required to do
A.Submit an application form.
B.Work part time for years.
C.Accept the minimum wage.
D.Live and work on campus.
22.What is one of the advantages of on-demand economy jobs
A.Providing scholarships.
B.Having the fixed workplace.
C.Including an extra award.
D.Offering more job options.
23.Which program is of great help for students to find a full-time job
A.Jobs with employer scholarships.
B.On-demand economy jobs.
C.Paid internships.
D.Work-study.

I grew up in a three-bedroom brick house in the Park Hill section of North Little Rock, Arkansas. It was a sweet, ordinary little home but reminded me of so much love.
I ve always felt I was raised by a beautiful fairy. My mom, Nellie, was soft-spoken and had an extraordinary smile. My father, Maurice, was a train conductor and his declining health was the most defining aspect of my childhood. When I was 8, the doctors told us that Dad had a severe heart condition and we needed to care for him. I developed magical thinking, which was vital to my later acting. I d say to myself that if I did this and that, my daddy would live.
After high school, I attended Hendrix College in Arkansas. When I was a freshman, they cast me in a school s big play. At the end, one of the drama professors said, “You don t really belong here. You belong in New York. They d know what to do with you.” He gave me a list of schools. He pointed to the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre and said it was small but Sanford Meisner, the man who ran it was great. I auditioned (试镜) and a month later, I was accepted. Mom and I started crying.
After moving to New York, my big break came six years later, in 1977. I took a meeting about a movie called “Goin South”, with Jack Nicholson. After the audition, they said I wasn t quite right. Back in reception, I wanted to apologize for being stubborn. Jack was standing there. He said, “Are you waiting to see me ” I told him I was but I didn t have a script. He gave me one and told me I d have 10 minutes with him the next day. I made it to a screen test in L.A. Later, I was in Jack s office and asked if someone could approve my hotel expenses. Jack was smoking a cigar. He said, “Don t worry about it, kid. You re on the payroll.”
Today, my husband, actor Ted Danson, and I spend most of our time in Ojai, California. I also love the wildness of the mountains. I still own my childhood home in Arkansas. I haven t been able to part with it. Emotionally, the love from my parents is still there.
24.What motivated the author to develop her ability to act
A.Her family s poor housing.
B.Her father s serious disease.
C.Her mother s gift for acting.
D.Her confidence in learning subjects.
25.What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A.Her mother refused her becoming an actress.
B.Her performance was common in high school.
C.She was declined by manager Sanford Meisner.
D.She was highly praised by the drama professor.
26.How did Jack feel to the author s performance in the screen test
A.Indifferent. B.Critic. C.Impressive. D.Neutral.
27.Why does the author mention her childhood home in the last paragraph

B.To stress the beautiful scenery of her hometown.
C.To show her gratitude to her beloved parents.

C
From self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid advances in technology have long represented a potential threat to many jobs normally performed by people.
Experts now believe that almost 50 per cent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to transform businesses. This could put some people s livelihoods at risk.
“Experts predict that 50 per cent of occupations today will no longer exist by 2025 as people will take up more creative professions,” said Martin Chen, Chief Operating Officer of Genesis. “This means that jobs will develop and so will real estate development.”
Workspaces with rows of desks will become completely extra, not because they are not fit for use, but simply because that purpose no longer exists, according to the report. “The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a corresponding revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.
A growing proportion of jobs in the future will require creativity intelligence, social skills and the ability to apply artificial intelligence. “And for most people that will be a route to happiness and fulfillment,” the report states.
Data in the US suggests that technology already destroys more jobs than it creates, as GDP has been able to grow faster than employment since 2000. A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 per cent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few decades.
The optimists imagined “a future in which robots and digital agents do not replace more jobs than they create”. Microsoft s Jonathan Grudin told researchers, “Technology will continue to break up jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there would be billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change.”
28.What will put some people s livelihoods at risk by 2025 according to experts
A.Businesses. B.Real estate.
C.Artificial intelligence. D.Self-driving cars and carebots.
29.Why will desks in offices be unnecessary in the future
A.The desks will no longer be fit for the purpose.
B.There will be no purpose of using the desks in offices.
C.The development of technology removes the need for desks.
D.The office revolution will make people rethink about their work.
30.What will the characteristics of the jobs be in the future
A.Most jobs in the future use high technology.
B.More and more jobs are the focus of happiness and fulfillment.
C.More and more jobs are focusing on artificial intelligence.
D.Most jobs will require social ability to communicate with others.
31.What can be implied in Jonathan Grudin s words in the last paragraph
A.People needn t worry about their jobs in the future.
B.There will be billions of people in fifteen years of time.
C.Enough jobs will be created for everyone to choose from.
D.Robots and digital agents create more jobs than they destroy.
D
At a time when we are all experiencing an extraordinary level of stress, science offers a simple and effective way to bolster our own emotional health. To help yourself, start by helping others.
“There is a lot of evidence that one of the best anti-anxiety medications (药物) available is generosity,” said Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist at Wharton and author of Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success. “The great thing about showing up for other people is that it doesn t have to cost a whole lot or anything at all, and it ends up being beneficial to the giver.”
Our bodies and minds benefit in a variety of ways when we help others. Some research has focused on the “helper s high”. Studies show that volunteering, donating money, or even just thinking about donating money can release feel-good brain chemicals and activate the part of the brain stimulated by the pleasure of food. Studies of volunteers show that do-gooders had lower levels of the cortisol(皮质醇),a stress hormone on days when they did voluntary work.
In fact, the act of giving advice has been shown to be more beneficial than receiving it. In a series of studies of 2,274 people, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago found that after middle school students mentored younger students about studying, they ended up spending more time on their own homework. Overweight people who counselled others on weight loss were more motivated to lose weight themselves.
Feeling responsible for other people also can help us cope with whatever challenges life brings. Emily A. Greenfield, an associate professor of social work at Rutgers University, studied a concept called “felt obligation”, which is measured by asking people questions such as how obligated they would feel to give money to a friend in need, even if it meant putting themselves in a bind. Dr Greenfield analysed data collected from 849 participants in an ongoing study of health and well-being that asked about “felt obligation” as well as health-related declines they experienced over time, such as problems carrying groceries or walking a block.
As it turned out, the people who had higher levels of “felt obligation”—meaning they were the type of people to sacrifice something for others—coped better with their own life challenges.
She noted that caring for others helped us to regulate our own emotions and gain a sense of control. “When we remind a friend that social distancing measures are temporary, and this too shall pass, we are also, in effect, reminding ourselves and serving to regulate our own emotions,” she said.
32.What can we learn from the text
A.Donating money can release brain chemicals making people feel good.
B.Giving advice is more beneficial than giving money.
C.Overweight people helping others on weight loss are discouraged from losing weight.
D.People having higher levels of “felt obligation” are less likely to help others.
33.What does the underlined word “bolster” in paragraph 1 most probably mean
A.Improve. B.Maintain. C.Ruin. D.Blow.
34.What does the passage imply
A.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B.Sunshine always comes after the rain.
C.Helping others is helping yourself.
D.Don t fail to do good things even if they are small.
35.What s the best title for the passage
A.The Challenge for Volunteering
B.A Beneficial Attempt
C.The Rapid Growth of Voluntary Work
D.The Science of Helping Out

Self-improvement doesn t have to be a terrifying task. It can be a fun and exciting adventure that takes you on a journey of discovery and growth. With some simple tricks, you can transform yourself into a better version of you.
First off, remember that self-improvement is a marathon, not a dash. 36 Take it one step at a time, and enjoy the ride. Think of it like climbing a mountain: you take one step after another, admiring the view as you go, until you reach the summit.
Start with small, achievable goals. Whether it s reading a book a week, going for a daily walk, or learning a new skill, these little milestones will help you stay motivated and feel accomplished. 37
Don t be afraid to fail. Failure is part of the learning process. If you stumble or fall short of your goals, don t beat yourself up. 38 Keep in mind that failure is just a temporary setback—it doesn t define you.
39 Share your goals with friends or family, and ask them to hold you accountable. Join a self-improvement group or find someone who can guide and encourage you on your journey. You ll find that that makes the process even more enjoyable.
And finally, don t forget to celebrate your progress. 40 Whether it s a small accomplishment or a major milestone, take a moment to appreciate your efforts and feel proud of yourself. You can even create a reward system for yourself—maybe a delicious treat or a fun activity for every goal you achieve.
A.Choose your circle wisely.
B.Seek support and inspiration.
C.Instead, dust yourself off, and start out again.
D.Make time for activities that will fuel your soul.
E.No one can expect to change everything overnight.
F.Remember, every step counts, however small it is!
G.Every little win is well worth acknowledging and rewarding.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain for almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn t see some rain soon we would lose everything. It was on this day that I learned the true lesson of sharing and witnessed the best miracle I had ever seen in my life.
I was in the kitchen making lunch for the family when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. I could only see his back. He wasn t walking with his usual steps. He was obviously walking with great effort...trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out toward the house. I went back to make sandwiches, thinking that whatever he had been doing was completed. Moments later, however, he was once again walking with that slow purposeful long step toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of everything. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked, being very careful not to spill (洒出) the water he held in them. I stepped close as he went into the woods. Branches and thorns slapped against his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He might have a much greater purpose, I thought. As I came closer, I saw the most amazing sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them, at the sight of which I almost screamed at him to get away. A huge buck (雄鹿) went dangerously close. But the buck neither threatened him nor even moved as Billy knelt down. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lifting its head with great effort to lap (舔) the water cupped in my boy s hands.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to the tap.
This time I joined him, with a small pot of water from the kitchen.

第二节
◎语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。与大多数在大城市找工作的研究生同学不同,张小杨毕业后选择了去敦煌研究院,找到了一份考古学家的工作。文章介绍了张小杨在敦煌研究院的工作和生活。
56.landing 考查现在分词。句意:与大多数最终在大城市找到工作的研究生同学不同,张小杨三年前从浙江大学毕业后,选择了去敦煌研究院,得到了一份考古学家的工作。分析句子结构可知,主句的主语为Zhang Xiaoyang,chose是主句的谓语动词,设空处要用非谓语动词在主句中作状语。land和其逻辑主语Zhang Xiaoyang是主动关系,因此要用现在分词作状语。故填landing。
57.are 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:尽管位于中国西北部甘肃省戈壁滩的敦煌有世界上最大的佛教艺术宝藏,但那里的生活条件比中国的大城市要艰苦得多。此处描述客观事实,应用一般现在时,且主语为复数形式,谓语也要用复数形式。故填are。
58.loneliness 考查名词。句意:在那里工作的人们要与风沙作斗争,还要忍受孤独。介词from后应用名词作宾语;此处表示“孤独”,应用名词loneliness。loneliness为不可数名词,故填loneliness。
59.in 考查介词。句意:快三十岁的张女士有着紧张的日常生活。“in one s late 20s”为固定搭配,意为“快三十岁了”。故填in。
60.Assigned 考查过去分词。句意:由于被分配了两项压力很大的任务,她一天大部分时间都沉浸在自己的世界里,和天王堂的挖掘团队待在一起。分析句子结构可知,spends是谓语动词,设空处要用非谓语动词作状语。assign和其逻辑主语she是被动关系,应用过去分词形式。该空位于句首,首字母应大写,故填Assigned。
61.was created 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。“which during...(AD 386-534)”为which引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Cave 254。关系代词which代替先行词在从句中作主语,与create(创建)之间为被动关系,应用被动语态;根据“during the Northern Wei Dynasty”及语境可知应用一般过去时;先行词为第三人称单数形式,从句谓语也应用第三人称单数形式,故填was created。
62.before 考查连词。句意:对于那些曾经计划暂时在这里工作的人来说,也许过几年他们就会搬到更大的城市去。根据“it will be a few years”和“they move to bigger cities”可知,此处是指在搬到更大的城市之前要有几年,设空处引导时间状语从句,表示“在……之前”,故填before。
63.totally 考查副词。设空处应用副词作状语。故填totally。
64.how 考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导宾语从句,在从句中作状语,且根据“amazed at”可知,此处是指张小杨惊讶于古代人是如何生活在那个时候的沙漠里的,所以应用连接副词how表示“如何”。故填how。
65.a 考查冠词。“ three-episode documentary”为“The Master of Dunhuang”的同位语。documentary意为“纪录片”,为可数名词,此处表示“一部三集的纪录片”,表泛指,应用不定冠词;three-episode以辅音音素开头,故填a。

One possible version:
My dream job
Good morning, everyone. I feel it an honor to address a speech titled “My dream job”.
Of the wide range of jobs around us, I will choose to be a teacher. My mother accounts for my choice first. Her commitment to teaching and happiness of being a teacher motivate me. Additionally, it is the inquisitive faces from my future students that reinforce my idea. Last, I am eager to make a difference to those for whom education is their only ticket to success.
Not only will I spare no effort to learn my lessons, but I will also develop some qualities required to be a good teacher.
Thank you!
第二节
One possible version:
When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to the tap. Billy turned it on and cupped both hands. He knelt down, letting the drip slowly fill up his “cup”. And now I knew what was going on. Obviously, he was afraid of being scolded for wasting water, so he avoided asking me for help. When he stood up and turned back, I walked toward him. His eyes were filled with tears, “Mom, I m not wasting.”
This time I joined him, with a small pot of water from the kitchen. I let him tend to the baby deer alone while I just helped fetch the water. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops...and more drops...and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, himself, had been weeping with pride. I couldn t believe it was raining!

One of the best ways to pay for college is to find work that helps bear part of the school fee. Here are 4 types of part-time jobs that provide students with extra income.
Jobs with employer scholarships
Some companies offer help by paying for college through scholarship programs. Taco Bell, for instance, offers its part-time employees the chance to win an up to $25,000 award through its Live Mas Scholarship. The award can be used toward vocational schools or a two- or four-year college. Employees must have worked for the company at least three continuous months.
Work-study
For years the work-study program has allowed students to earn money through part-time work. Students aged between 16 and 24 who file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid may be qualified for the program. While these jobs aren t always on campus, students in work-study can earn at least $7.25 per hour—the state s minimum wage.
Paid internships
A paid trainee position can not only help students pay for college but can also open doors for full-time work after graduation. According to a 2019 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, nearly two-thirds of paid interns received a job offer, while just about 44% of unpaid interns were offered a job.
On-demand economy jobs
Known for their flexibility, the jobs can help students earn cash between classes. These on-demand jobs include completing small jobs, making deliveries or even driving for ride-booking services. Students can typically earn more through on-demand work, ranging from $10 to $20 an hour.
21.What are the applicants for the work-study program required to do
A.Submit an application form.
B.Work part time for years.
C.Accept the minimum wage.
D.Live and work on campus.
22.What is one of the advantages of on-demand economy jobs
A.Providing scholarships.
B.Having the fixed workplace.
C.Including an extra award.
D.Offering more job options.
23.Which program is of great help for students to find a full-time job
A.Jobs with employer scholarships.
B.On-demand economy jobs.
C.Paid internships.
D.Work-study.

I grew up in a three-bedroom brick house in the Park Hill section of North Little Rock, Arkansas. It was a sweet, ordinary little home but reminded me of so much love.
I ve always felt I was raised by a beautiful fairy. My mom, Nellie, was soft-spoken and had an extraordinary smile. My father, Maurice, was a train conductor and his declining health was the most defining aspect of my childhood. When I was 8, the doctors told us that Dad had a severe heart condition and we needed to care for him. I developed magical thinking, which was vital to my later acting. I d say to myself that if I did this and that, my daddy would live.
After high school, I attended Hendrix College in Arkansas. When I was a freshman, they cast me in a school s big play. At the end, one of the drama professors said, “You don t really belong here. You belong in New York. They d know what to do with you.” He gave me a list of schools. He pointed to the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre and said it was small but Sanford Meisner, the man who ran it was great. I auditioned (试镜) and a month later, I was accepted. Mom and I started crying.
After moving to New York, my big break came six years later, in 1977. I took a meeting about a movie called “Goin South”, with Jack Nicholson. After the audition, they said I wasn t quite right. Back in reception, I wanted to apologize for being stubborn. Jack was standing there. He said, “Are you waiting to see me ” I told him I was but I didn t have a script. He gave me one and told me I d have 10 minutes with him the next day. I made it to a screen test in L.A. Later, I was in Jack s office and asked if someone could approve my hotel expenses. Jack was smoking a cigar. He said, “Don t worry about it, kid. You re on the payroll.”
Today, my husband, actor Ted Danson, and I spend most of our time in Ojai, California. I also love the wildness of the mountains. I still own my childhood home in Arkansas. I haven t been able to part with it. Emotionally, the love from my parents is still there.
24.What motivated the author to develop her ability to act
A.Her family s poor housing.
B.Her father s serious disease.
C.Her mother s gift for acting.
D.Her confidence in learning subjects.
25.What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A.Her mother refused her becoming an actress.
B.Her performance was common in high school.
C.She was declined by manager Sanford Meisner.
D.She was highly praised by the drama professor.
26.How did Jack feel to the author s performance in the screen test
A.Indifferent. B.Critic. C.Impressive. D.Neutral.
27.Why does the author mention her childhood home in the last paragraph
A.To prove the excellent environment she lives.
B.To stress the beautiful scenery of her hometown.
C.To show her gratitude to her beloved parents.
D.To attract more people to enjoy the mountains.

From self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid advances in technology have long represented a potential threat to many jobs normally performed by people.
Experts now believe that almost 50 per cent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to transform businesses. This could put some people s livelihoods at risk.
“Experts predict that 50 per cent of occupations today will no longer exist by 2025 as people will take up more creative professions,” said Martin Chen, Chief Operating Officer of Genesis. “This means that jobs will develop and so will real estate development.”
Workspaces with rows of desks will become completely extra, not because they are not fit for use, but simply because that purpose no longer exists, according to the report. “The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a corresponding revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.
A growing proportion of jobs in the future will require creativity intelligence, social skills and the ability to apply artificial intelligence. “And for most people that will be a route to happiness and fulfillment,” the report states.
Data in the US suggests that technology already destroys more jobs than it creates, as GDP has been able to grow faster than employment since 2000. A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 per cent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few decades.
The optimists imagined “a future in which robots and digital agents do not replace more jobs than they create”. Microsoft s Jonathan Grudin told researchers, “Technology will continue to break up jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there would be billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change.”
28.What will put some people s livelihoods at risk by 2025 according to experts
A.Businesses. B.Real estate.
C.Artificial intelligence. D.Self-driving cars and carebots.
29.Why will desks in offices be unnecessary in the future
A.The desks will no longer be fit for the purpose.
B.There will be no purpose of using the desks in offices.
C.The development of technology removes the need for desks.
D.The office revolution will make people rethink about their work.
30.What will the characteristics of the jobs be in the future
A.Most jobs in the future use high technology.
B.More and more jobs are the focus of happiness and fulfillment.
C.More and more jobs are focusing on artificial intelligence.
D.Most jobs will require social ability to communicate with others.
31.What can be implied in Jonathan Grudin s words in the last paragraph
A.People needn t worry about their jobs in the future.
B.There will be billions of people in fifteen years of time.
C.Enough jobs will be created for everyone to choose from.
D.Robots and digital agents create more jobs than they destroy.
D
At a time when we are all experiencing an extraordinary level of stress, science offers a simple and effective way to bolster our own emotional health. To help yourself, start by helping others.
“There is a lot of evidence that one of the best anti-anxiety medications (药物) available is generosity,” said Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist at Wharton and author of Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success. “The great thing about showing up for other people is that it doesn t have to cost a whole lot or anything at all, and it ends up being beneficial to the giver.”
Our bodies and minds benefit in a variety of ways when we help others. Some research has focused on the “helper s high”. Studies show that volunteering, donating money, or even just thinking about donating money can release feel-good brain chemicals and activate the part of the brain stimulated by the pleasure of food. Studies of volunteers show that do-gooders had lower levels of the cortisol(皮质醇),a stress hormone on days when they did voluntary work.
In fact, the act of giving advice has been shown to be more beneficial than receiving it. In a series of studies of 2,274 people, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago found that after middle school students mentored younger students about studying, they ended up spending more time on their own homework. Overweight people who counselled others on weight loss were more motivated to lose weight themselves.
Feeling responsible for other people also can help us cope with whatever challenges life brings. Emily A. Greenfield, an associate professor of social work at Rutgers University, studied a concept called “felt obligation”, which is measured by asking people questions such as how obligated they would feel to give money to a friend in need, even if it meant putting themselves in a bind. Dr Greenfield analysed data collected from 849 participants in an ongoing study of health and well-being that asked about “felt obligation” as well as health-related declines they experienced over time, such as problems carrying groceries or walking a block.
As it turned out, the people who had higher levels of “felt obligation”—meaning they were the type of people to sacrifice something for others—coped better with their own life challenges.
She noted that caring for others helped us to regulate our own emotions and gain a sense of control. “When we remind a friend that social distancing measures are temporary, and this too shall pass, we are also, in effect, reminding ourselves and serving to regulate our own emotions,” she said.
32.What can we learn from the text
A.Donating money can release brain chemicals making people feel good.
B.Giving advice is more beneficial than giving money.
C.Overweight people helping others on weight loss are discouraged from losing weight.
D.People having higher levels of “felt obligation” are less likely to help others.
33.What does the underlined word “bolster” in paragraph 1 most probably mean
A.Improve. B.Maintain. C.Ruin. D.Blow.
34.What does the passage imply
A.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B.Sunshine always comes after the rain.
C.Helping others is helping yourself.
D.Don t fail to do good things even if they are small.
35.What s the best title for the passage
A.The Challenge for Volunteering
B.A Beneficial Attempt
C.The Rapid Growth of Voluntary Work
D.The Science of Helping Out

Self-improvement doesn t have to be a terrifying task. It can be a fun and exciting adventure that takes you on a journey of discovery and growth. With some simple tricks, you can transform yourself into a better version of you.
First off, remember that self-improvement is a marathon, not a dash. 36 Take it one step at a time, and enjoy the ride. Think of it like climbing a mountain: you take one step after another, admiring the view as you go, until you reach the summit.
Start with small, achievable goals. Whether it s reading a book a week, going for a daily walk, or learning a new skill, these little milestones will help you stay motivated and feel accomplished. 37
Don t be afraid to fail. Failure is part of the learning process. If you stumble or fall short of your goals, don t beat yourself up. 38 Keep in mind that failure is just a temporary setback—it doesn t define you.
39 Share your goals with friends or family, and ask them to hold you accountable. Join a self-improvement group or find someone who can guide and encourage you on your journey. You ll find that that makes the process even more enjoyable.
And finally, don t forget to celebrate your progress. 40 Whether it s a small accomplishment or a major milestone, take a moment to appreciate your efforts and feel proud of yourself. You can even create a reward system for yourself—maybe a delicious treat or a fun activity for every goal you achieve.
A.Choose your circle wisely.
B.Seek support and inspiration.
C.Instead, dust yourself off, and start out again.
D.Make time for activities that will fuel your soul.
E.No one can expect to change everything overnight.
F.Remember, every step counts, however small it is!
G.Every little win is well worth acknowledging and rewarding.
36. 37. 38. 39. 40.

At 111, Dr Edith Kaufmann was the second oldest person in the UK. I met her when I 41 in a care home for the elderly in London six years ago. I didn t realize it would be the start of a close 42 , where the age gap was eight decades.
At first sight, I was 43 by her self-confidence. Her doctorate (博士学位) told me she was intelligent and 44 . From the beginning, I never felt as if Edith and I had 45 conversation. Edith could have a full conversation with me about anything, and her memory stretched back so easily, 46 even small things which took place 100 years ago.
She was also 47 . She loved dancing as a child and I recall, only a few weeks before her death, she laughed 48 when I played the waltz (华尔兹舞曲) and we 49 hands and danced to the music. Although towards her later years she was 50 to a wheelchair, she still participated in the exercise classes.
As I 51 Edith each week, I realized that I was going as much for me as I was for her. I learnt to take the words of 52 when I could get them.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain for almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn t see some rain soon we would lose everything. It was on this day that I learned the true lesson of sharing and witnessed the best miracle I had ever seen in my life.
I was in the kitchen making lunch for the family when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. I could only see his back. He wasn t walking with his usual steps. He was obviously walking with great effort...trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out toward the house. I went back to make sandwiches, thinking that whatever he had been doing was completed. Moments later, however, he was once again walking with that slow purposeful long step toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of everything. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked, being very careful not to spill (洒出) the water he held in them. I stepped close as he went into the woods. Branches and thorns slapped against his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He might have a much greater purpose, I thought. As I came closer, I saw the most amazing sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them, at the sight of which I almost screamed at him to get away. A huge buck (雄鹿) went dangerously close. But the buck neither threatened him nor even moved as Billy knelt down. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lifting its head with great effort to lap (舔) the water cupped in my boy s hands.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to the tap.
This time I joined him, with a small pot of water from the kitchen.

◎语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。与大多数在大城市找工作的研究生同学不同,张小杨毕业后选择了去敦煌研究院,找到了一份考古学家的工作。文章介绍了张小杨在敦煌研究院的工作和生活。
56.landing 考查现在分词。句意:与大多数最终在大城市找到工作的研究生同学不同,张小杨三年前从浙江大学毕业后,选择了去敦煌研究院,得到了一份考古学家的工作。分析句子结构可知,主句的主语为Zhang Xiaoyang,chose是主句的谓语动词,设空处要用非谓语动词在主句中作状语。land和其逻辑主语Zhang Xiaoyang是主动关系,因此要用现在分词作状语。故填landing。
57.are 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:尽管位于中国西北部甘肃省戈壁滩的敦煌有世界上最大的佛教艺术宝藏,但那里的生活条件比中国的大城市要艰苦得多。此处描述客观事实,应用一般现在时,且主语为复数形式,谓语也要用复数形式。故填are。
58.loneliness 考查名词。句意:在那里工作的人们要与风沙作斗争,还要忍受孤独。介词from后应用名词作宾语;此处表示“孤独”,应用名词loneliness。loneliness为不可数名词,故填loneliness。
59.in 考查介词。句意:快三十岁的张女士有着紧张的日常生活。“in one s late 20s”为固定搭配,意为“快三十岁了”。故填in。
60.Assigned 考查过去分词。句意:由于被分配了两项压力很大的任务,她一天大部分时间都沉浸在自己的世界里,和天王堂的挖掘团队待在一起。分析句子结构可知,spends是谓语动词,设空处要用非谓语动词作状语。assign和其逻辑主语she是被动关系,应用过去分词形式。该空位于句首,首字母应大写,故填Assigned。
61.was created 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。“which during...(AD 386-534)”为which引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Cave 254。关系代词which代替先行词在从句中作主语,与create(创建)之间为被动关系,应用被动语态;根据“during the Northern Wei Dynasty”及语境可知应用一般过去时;先行词为第三人称单数形式,从句谓语也应用第三人称单数形式,故填was created。
62.before 考查连词。句意:对于那些曾经计划暂时在这里工作的人来说,也许过几年他们就会搬到更大的城市去。根据“it will be a few years”和“they move to bigger cities”可知,此处是指在搬到更大的城市之前要有几年,设空处引导时间状语从句,表示“在……之前”,故填before。
63.totally 考查副词。设空处应用副词作状语。故填totally。
64.how 考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导宾语从句,在从句中作状语,且根据“amazed at”可知,此处是指张小杨惊讶于古代人是如何生活在那个时候的沙漠里的,所以应用连接副词how表示“如何”。故填how。
65.a 考查冠词。“ three-episode documentary”为“The Master of Dunhuang”的同位语。documentary意为“纪录片”,为可数名词,此处表示“一部三集的纪录片”,表泛指,应用不定冠词;three-episode以辅音音素开头,故填a。

第一节
One possible version:
My dream job
Good morning, everyone. I feel it an honor to address a speech titled “My dream job”.
Of the wide range of jobs around us, I will choose to be a teacher. My mother accounts for my choice first. Her commitment to teaching and happiness of being a teacher motivate me. Additionally, it is the inquisitive faces from my future students that reinforce my idea. Last, I am eager to make a difference to those for whom education is their only ticket to success.
Not only will I spare no effort to learn my lessons, but I will also develop some qualities required to be a good teacher.
Thank you!
第二节
One possible version:
When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to the tap. Billy turned it on and cupped both hands. He knelt down, letting the drip slowly fill up his “cup”. And now I knew what was going on. Obviously, he was afraid of being scolded for wasting water, so he avoided asking me for help. When he stood up and turned back, I walked toward him. His eyes were filled with tears, “Mom, I m not wasting.”
This time I joined him, with a small pot of water from the kitchen. I let him tend to the baby deer alone while I just helped fetch the water. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops...and more drops...and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, himself, had been weeping with pride. I couldn t believe it was raining!
