（2024·浙江·中考真题）Every year, lots of animals around the world go on migrating (迁
徙 ) journeys. Some need to find food, others are looking for somewhere to produce and raise
their young. Migrations can be long and difficult for animals, but new research on birds has found
that farmland along the way can help their progress.
In spring, hundreds of thousands of birds living near Lake Poyang, in China, fly north to
Siberia, Russia. On the way, they find places to stop and eat to keep their energy levels up for the
long journey. Some birds, such as geese, eat young grass that starts to grow at the beginning of the
season. This food can last for only a few weeks. And rising temperatures caused by climate
change can sometimes make the grass grow earlier than usual. This means that some birds are
arriving too late to eat the grass. As more land is used for farming, the natural wetlands where
birds like to search for food are disappearing, too.
A team of researchers have recently chosen to follow 246 birds, including geese and tundra
swans, that are flying from Lake Poyang to Siberia. They find that the birds have changed their
diets to adapt (适应) to the environments they pass through. As well as eating grass from the
wetlands along the way, the birds are also eating seeds (种子) dropped by farmers.
The researchers believe that seeds will become a more important part of migrating birds’
4
diets as more natural wetlands disappear. They suggest that if farmers use different ways of
harvesting, such as using machines that leave behind more seeds in fields, it could help to feed
migrating birds. However, they also say wetlands must be protected, so the birds can enjoy
different foods during their long journeys.
8．Which can be a reason for animal migration according to Paragraph 1
A．Raising their babies. B．Enjoying the journey.
C．Sending food to others. D．Taking care of the old.
9．What problem might the birds meet when flying from Lake Poyang to Siberia
A．There is no grass growing along the way.
B．There is a sudden drop in temperature on the way.
C．Fewer natural wetlands are left for them to find food.
D．Some of the birds set out early and eat too much grass.
10．How do the birds adapt to the environments they pass through
A．By changing their diets.
B．By changing the way they fly.
C．By making their homes in wetlands.
D．By making fiends with farmers.
11．What can be the best title of the text
A．Stop killing, stop polluting B．Save water, save life
C．Bids help harvesting work D．Farms help migrating birds
【答案】8．A 9．C 10．A 11．D

around this part of the house is a bit like being on a treasure hunt, as you can find things hidden

（2023·浙江杭州·中考真题）Cyclocross is cross-country bicycle racing. Racers spend
only part of a race on their bikes because only part of the two-mile race is smooth. Other parts of
the race have the challenge of obstacles (障碍). When racers reach them, they can ride over them,
or pick up their bikes and run.
To be a top racer, you must dismount without slowing down at all. To do this, swing your
right leg over the bike seat. At the same time, move the bike away from your body. This makes
room for your right foot to hit the ground next to your left foot. As your right foot nears the
ground, take your left foot away from the bike. Put both feet on the ground and start running!
As soon as you are running, you have to decide what to do with your bike. You may
shoulder it or lift it. It’s important to practice both skills. Sometimes you need to run fast and jump
over some obstacles. As your feet hit the ground, you reach down and catch the bottom of your
bike. Lift up carefully and keep the bike on your right shoulder while you run. Sometimes you
may lift your bike. You catch the top of your bike. Then you lift the bike high enough to get over
the obstacles and carefully put the bike on the ground.
10
After you have carried your bike across an obstacle, you will need to remount. As soon as
your bike is on the ground, push off with your left leg, swing your right leg over the bike seat, and
move into riding position. Remounting can be the hardest skill of cyclocross. You can learn by
watching someone who remounts well.
Cyclocross is a great way to stay active and have fun. However, it can be dangerous. Make
sure that you are well prepared. Then, you will just need to go!

（2024·浙江台州·一模）A wooly (羊毛的) coat and a head of human hair have more in
common than you might think. Both include keratin fibers (角 蛋 白 纤 维 ) and both provide
warmth. A European company, Human Material Loop, is now questioning why one is worn and
the other is wasted. They want to change the clothing industry by turning human hair into a fabric
(织物).
13
Every year, Europeans produce 72 million kilograms of human hair waste. When hair waste
breaks down in a rubbish bag, it gives off greenhouse gases (气体). Many countries burn this
waste, but that’s not environmentally friendly, either.
Zsofia Kollar, who started Human Material Loop, explains that using the hair fabric is not
that different from using any other material. Short and broken hairs are made into fabric and
colored. Human Material Loop’s first product was a sweater. It had a wool-like feel. The company
has also made an outdoor coat and shown its ability to keep the wearer warm. These clothes are
not for sale, though. The company’s purpose is to get the attention of clothing companies. It hopes
that one day they will buy its hair fabric to make their own clothes.
Kollar understands that most people aren’t ready to wear human hair on their bodies. They
may find the idea strange. But historically, Kollar points out, human hair has been used as a fabric
in many cultures. In the 13th century, for example, people in what is now the southwestern United
States used human hair to make socks. “There is much work to do to get people to accept hair
fabric,” Kollar says. “But I can see it coming more and more into our daily lives, over time.”
31．What do a wooly coat and human hair have in common
A．They both have keratin fibers. B．They are both cheap and useful.
C．They can both keep people cool. D．They are both good for environment.
32．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 2
A．The fabric. B．The hair waste. C．The wooly coat. D．The rubbish bag.
33．What can we learn from paragraphs 3 and 4
A．Using human hair fabric is very different from using others.
B．The sweater made of hair by Human Material Loop sells well.
C．Most people think it smart to wear human hair on their body.
D．Human hair was used as a fabric hundreds of years ago.
34．How might Kollar feel about the future of hair fabric
A．Worried. B．Bored. C．Hopeful. D．Uncertain.
【答案】31．A 32．B 33．D 34．C
【导语】本文是一篇科技新闻，主要介绍了欧洲一家名为 Human Material Loop 的公司正在
尝试将人类的头发制成织物，用于制作衣物，以此来改变服装行业，同时也解决了人类头发

（2024·浙江宁波·一模）On August 24, Japan started releasing (排放) wastewater from its
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (福岛第一核电站) into the Pacific Ocean. This has
caused anger and fear across the world.
1. What happened
In March 2011, Japan experienced the strongest earthquake in its recorded history. The
earthquake caused a tsunami (海啸). The tsunami greatly damaged the Fukushima nuclear plant.
Ever since then, the plant has been producing a large amount of wastewater. So far, it has
collected more than 1.3 million tons of it. The first round of release will last 17 days. The whole
process will take about 30 years.
2. Two types of water
Nuclear-contaminated water (核污水): The water has more than 60 kinds of radioactive
materials (放射性物质). It’s bad for people’s health and the environment.

4. The danger of wastewater
Radioactive materials in wastewater may cause many diseases. It will influence us in many
ways: fish and other seafood in water may have radioactive materials; the cloud near the sea may
have these materials, too. Since we are on the same planet, no one will be free from the harm. It is

（A）Buying second-hand items is becoming more popular these days. One million people
are selling over 2 million second-hand items ranging from clothing and books to electronic
devices on Xianyu every day, Xinhua reported.
People have made more money in recent years and bought more things than they really
need, according to a speech given by Wei Ying, founder of the second-hand book-trading site Deja
Vu. As more people turn to a minima1ife-style, they are selling their used items for cheap.
Shoppers are attracted to the low prices, as well as the fact that buying second-hand is good for the
environment.
When Chen Junjun, 22, a college student in Shanghai, wants to buy books, she uses Deja
Vu. She searches for the books she wants and adds them to her shopping cart (车), just like on any
other shopping site. The difference is that the books are much cheaper-as much as 70 percent
cheaper than new books. “Since I have limited spending money, it’s a perfect choice for me,”
Chen said.
Lots of people like Chen are buying second-hand books. Deja Vu has over 3 million users
and sells about 20,000 second-hand books every day, Beijing Daily reported. It has also opened
two brick-and-mortar (实体的) bookstores-one in Beijing, the other in Shanghai.

（B）On social media platforms such as Xiaohongshu, we’re seeing more posts with the
tag lines “I will listen” and “listen to me.” A puzzled person may have trouble deciding on
where to go on a vacation, which restaurant offers the best seafood or whether Huawei’s Mate
60 is a better buy than the iPhone 15. Write a post titled “I will listen” and it’s likely that a
warm-hearted person will quickly reply with a suggestion.
18
Now, the problem is, should you follow the advice of a complete stranger Is his or her
advice true or is it just a personal opinion Opinions, after all, are not facts—they are just
personal judgments. Still, it’s important to take different voices into consideration.
Whenever I buy something online, I always read the comments (评论) posted by the last
customers. If there are too many negative comments, I probably won’t consider buying it. On
the other hand, if all of the comments are unusually positive, my doubtful brain takes over and
I think the seller may be using comments to increase the sale of the product.
Apart from online business posts, other “listen-to-me” posts cause a more complex
problem. In these posts, people are often giving advice on traps (陷阱) and problems that could
trouble other people. Personal problems such as relationships, job choices and even mental
health are among the most common topics. Their suggestions may be truthful, but they don’t
necessarily fit in with the special situation of others.
For these big “topics”, it’s better to talk to friends, families, teachers and professional
experts. Those people who are close to you know and care about you and will stay by your side,
unlike an online poster you may never hear from again.
The Internet is like a great “shop” for getting and exchanging information. But, as with
any shop, let the buyer be more careful.
43．What mainly influences our deciding on products online according to the passage
A．The sales of products. B．The opinions from customers.
C．The names of companies. D．The posters of shops.
44．How does the writer show his ideas about online shopping in Paragraph 3
A．By explaining the results. B．By telling stories.
C．By raising questions. D．By comparing differences.
45．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to
A．Suggestions. B．Topics. C．Problems. D．Posts.
46．In the writer’s opinion, it’s best to ________ when we shop online.
A．make decisions as the online posts suggest
B．communicate with the people who stay by our side
C．avoid sharing personal problems on the Internet
D．collect different opinions from different customers
19
【答案】43．B 44．D 45．A 46．B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，文章主要讨论了在社交媒体平台上听取陌生人建议的利弊，并
强调了在面对重要问题时，应优先考虑与身边亲近的人沟通。
43．细节理解题。根据文中“Whenever I buy something online, I always read the comments (评
论) posted by the last customers.”（每当我在网上购买东西时，我总是会查看之前的顾客所发
布的评论。）可知，作者在决定是否购买产品时，主要参考的是其他顾客的评论。故选 B。
44．细节理解题。根据文中“If there are too many negative comments, I probably won’t consider
buying it. On the other hand, if all of the comments are unusually positive, my doubtful brain
takes over and I think the seller may be using comments to increase the sale of the product.”（如果
负面评论太多，我很可能就不会考虑购买这件商品了。另一方面，如果所有评论都异乎寻常
地积极正面，我就会心生疑虑，觉得卖家可能是在利用这些评论来提高产品的销量。） 可知，
作者通过对比不同评论的情况来表达他对在线购物的看法。故选 D。
45．词句猜测题。根据文中“Their suggestions may be truthful, but they don’t necessarily fit in
with the special situation of others.” （他们的建议可能是中肯合理的，但 they 不一定适合其
他人的特殊情况。）可知，此处的“they”指的是“suggestions”。故选 A。
46．观点态度题。根据文中“For these big ‘topics’, it’s better to talk to friends, families, teachers
and professional experts.”（对于这些重大“话题” 而言，最好与朋友、家人、老师以及专业人
士聊一聊。） 可知，作者认为最好与身边亲近的人沟通。故选 B。

Kim, my sister, , was born with a growth hormone deficiency (激素缺乏). From an early

age she received daily injections (注射) to help her grow. I didn’t know how she ended the pain.
Doctors said her brain wouldn’t develop normally and she wouldn’t do something. But she proved
them all wrong!
Kim’s volunteer work started at the age of nine in primary school. Every day Kim assisted
the special needs class during her lunch breaks. She helped entertain, feed the students and
continued her work with the children until she left primary school.
Because of her height, my sister would get pushed in the corridors (走廊), but that didn’t
stop her from helping others. Kim later trained as a youth worker at the local church and
eventually became a Sunday school teacher and the kids loved her.
As she grew into an adult, she continued to help people and even started a school holiday
program for disabled children, which has been running for twenty years. She used her yearly leave
to look after these children and refused to take money for it.
My sister constantly deals with hardships, reoccurring health problems and continuous
pains due to her condition. Yet, every morning she gets up, she never says “What can I take from
this world”. She says, “Thank you Lord. I am alive. I have air in my lungs—now how may I be of

（2024·浙江·中考真题）Every year, lots of animals around the world go on migrating (迁
徙 ) journeys. Some need to find food, others are looking for somewhere to produce and raise
their young. Migrations can be long and difficult for animals, but new research on birds has found
that farmland along the way can help their progress.
In spring, hundreds of thousands of birds living near Lake Poyang, in China, fly north to
Siberia, Russia. On the way, they find places to stop and eat to keep their energy levels up for the
long journey. Some birds, such as geese, eat young grass that starts to grow at the beginning of the
season. This food can last for only a few weeks. And rising temperatures caused by climate
change can sometimes make the grass grow earlier than usual. This means that some birds are
arriving too late to eat the grass. As more land is used for farming, the natural wetlands where
3
birds like to search for food are disappearing, too.
A team of researchers have recently chosen to follow 246 birds, including geese and tundra
swans, that are flying from Lake Poyang to Siberia. They find that the birds have changed their
diets to adapt (适应) to the environments they pass through. As well as eating grass from the
wetlands along the way, the birds are also eating seeds (种子) dropped by farmers.
The researchers believe that seeds will become a more important part of migrating birds’
diets as more natural wetlands disappear. They suggest that if farmers use different ways of
harvesting, such as using machines that leave behind more seeds in fields, it could help to feed
migrating birds. However, they also say wetlands must be protected, so the birds can enjoy
different foods during their long journeys.
8．Which can be a reason for animal migration according to Paragraph 1
A．Raising their babies. B．Enjoying the journey.
C．Sending food to others. D．Taking care of the old.
9．What problem might the birds meet when flying from Lake Poyang to Siberia
A．There is no grass growing along the way.
B．There is a sudden drop in temperature on the way.
C．Fewer natural wetlands are left for them to find food.
D．Some of the birds set out early and eat too much grass.
10．How do the birds adapt to the environments they pass through
A．By changing their diets.
B．By changing the way they fly.
C．By making their homes in wetlands.
D．By making fiends with farmers.
11．What can be the best title of the text
A．Stop killing, stop polluting B．Save water, save life
C．Bids help harvesting work D．Farms help migrating birds
（2024·浙江·中考真题）If you are looking for somewhere special to visit in London, we
may have the answer for you: Sir John Soane’s Museum. The museum is one of London’s
best-kept secrets, and it’s well worth a visit. Sir John, a great architect (建筑师), lived in London
4
during the 18th century (1753—1837), and the amazing thing is that his house is exactly the same
as he left it. In fact, visiting the house is just like stepping back in time.
There are three floors which are open to the public. You can start on the first floor. This was
Sir John’s work area. You can ask the guards about the paintings on the walls as they tell you
something about this family and life. And don’t worry about the guards as they are really nice and
helpful. Next, you can go downstairs to the ground floor. Here you can see his rich collection of
paintings. For example, there is a series (系列) of interesting paintings about 18th century life in
London. Now comes the last part, the underground floor. It’s full of thousands of valuable objects,
such as sculptures (雕 塑 ) and models of famous buildings from all over the world. Walking
around this part of the house is a bit like being on a treasure hunt, as you can find things hidden
away in secret corners. Anyway, you’ll have to go there yourself to see.

I like going to stores, but how do you know if a store has what you want The great
thing about shopping online is saving time! There are so many choices, and it
doesn’t take much time to find what you want! (Jake, Sydney, Australia)
The first time I bought something online, I was a little nervous. I didn’t know how
they were going to ship it. But it arrived OK. Now the only problem is that I do too
much shopping online. And because I don’t have to go out much anymore, I’m not
very fit! (Mari, Lima, Peru)

Canada)

（2023·浙江杭州·中考真题）Cyclocross is cross-country bicycle racing. Racers spend
only part of a race on their bikes because only part of the two-mile race is smooth. Other parts of
the race have the challenge of obstacles (障碍). When racers reach them, they can ride over them,
or pick up their bikes and run.
To be a top racer, you must dismount without slowing down at all. To do this, swing your
right leg over the bike seat. At the same time, move the bike away from your body. This makes
room for your right foot to hit the ground next to your left foot. As your right foot nears the
ground, take your left foot away from the bike. Put both feet on the ground and start running!
As soon as you are running, you have to decide what to do with your bike. You may
shoulder it or lift it. It’s important to practice both skills. Sometimes you need to run fast and jump
over some obstacles. As your feet hit the ground, you reach down and catch the bottom of your
bike. Lift up carefully and keep the bike on your right shoulder while you run. Sometimes you
may lift your bike. You catch the top of your bike. Then you lift the bike high enough to get over
the obstacles and carefully put the bike on the ground.
After you have carried your bike across an obstacle, you will need to remount. As soon as
your bike is on the ground, push off with your left leg, swing your right leg over the bike seat, and
move into riding position. Remounting can be the hardest skill of cyclocross. You can learn by
watching someone who remounts well.
Cyclocross is a great way to stay active and have fun. However, it can be dangerous. Make
sure that you are well prepared. Then, you will just need to go!

（2024·浙江丽水·一模）Sarah and her best friend, Alex, loved exploring the forest near
their neighborhood. One day, while they were exploring through the woods, Sarah stepped upon a
shiny rock hidden under a pile of leaves. Excitedly, she said to Alex, “Look at what I found! It
looks like a valuable diamond. Promise not to tell anyone! It’s just a secret between you and me.”
Alex nodded, agreeing to keep it a secret.
Later that afternoon, Sarah and Alex met their friend, Emily, in the neighborhood. Unable
to control her excitement, Alex told Emily about the treasure Sarah had found. Emily was very
curious (好奇的) and wanted to see it, but Sarah quickly stopped them, reminding Alex of their
promise. However, Emily’s younger brother, Jack, happened to hear their conversation and spread
the news to everyone in the neighborhood.
Soon, Sarah’s neighbors began to visit her house, hoping to have a look at the mysterious
treasure. They knocked on Sarah's door one by one, each asking if they could see it. Sarah and
Alex were taken aback by all the attention and didn't know how to deal with the situation.
As the neighbors crowded around, Sarah’s mom came out to see what was happening. She
gently told the neighbors that the rock they wanted to see was not as special as they thought. It
was just a common quartz (石英) Sarah had found in the forest. The neighbors were understanding
and soon left with smiles on their faces.

（2024·浙江台州·一模）A wooly (羊毛的) coat and a head of human hair have more in
common than you might think. Both include keratin fibers (角蛋白纤维) and both provide warmth.
A European company, Human Material Loop, is now questioning why one is worn and the other is
wasted. They want to change the clothing industry by turning human hair into a fabric (织物).
Every year, Europeans produce 72 million kilograms of human hair waste. When hair waste
breaks down in a rubbish bag, it gives off greenhouse gases (气体). Many countries burn this
waste, but that’s not environmentally friendly, either.
Zsofia Kollar, who started Human Material Loop, explains that using the hair fabric is not
that different from using any other material. Short and broken hairs are made into fabric and
colored. Human Material Loop’s first product was a sweater. It had a wool-like feel. The company
has also made an outdoor coat and shown its ability to keep the wearer warm. These clothes are
not for sale, though. The company’s purpose is to get the attention of clothing companies. It hopes
that one day they will buy its hair fabric to make their own clothes.
Kollar understands that most people aren’t ready to wear human hair on their bodies. They
may find the idea strange. But historically, Kollar points out, human hair has been used as a fabric
10
in many cultures. In the 13th century, for example, people in what is now the southwestern United
States used human hair to make socks. “There is much work to do to get people to accept hair
fabric,” Kollar says. “But I can see it coming more and more into our daily lives, over time.”
31．What do a wooly coat and human hair have in common
A．They both have keratin fibers. B．They are both cheap and useful.
C．They can both keep people cool. D．They are both good for environment.
32．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 2
A．The fabric. B．The hair waste. C．The wooly coat. D．The rubbish bag.
33．What can we learn from paragraphs 3 and 4
A．Using human hair fabric is very different from using others.
B．The sweater made of hair by Human Material Loop sells well.
C．Most people think it smart to wear human hair on their body.
D．Human hair was used as a fabric hundreds of years ago.
34．How might Kollar feel about the future of hair fabric
A．Worried. B．Bored. C．Hopeful. D．Uncertain.
（2024·浙江宁波·一模）On August 24, Japan started releasing (排放) wastewater from its
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (福岛第一核电站) into the Pacific Ocean. This has
caused anger and fear across the world.

（A）Buying second-hand items is becoming more popular these days. One million people
are selling over 2 million second-hand items ranging from clothing and books to electronic
devices on Xianyu every day, Xinhua reported.
People have made more money in recent years and bought more things than they really
12
need, according to a speech given by Wei Ying, founder of the second-hand book-trading site Deja
Vu. As more people turn to a minima1ife-style, they are selling their used items for cheap.
Shoppers are attracted to the low prices, as well as the fact that buying second-hand is good for the
environment.
When Chen Junjun, 22, a college student in Shanghai, wants to buy books, she uses Deja
Vu. She searches for the books she wants and adds them to her shopping cart (车), just like on any
other shopping site. The difference is that the books are much cheaper-as much as 70 percent
cheaper than new books. “Since I have limited spending money, it’s a perfect choice for me,”
Chen said.
Lots of people like Chen are buying second-hand books. Deja Vu has over 3 million users
and sells about 20,000 second-hand books every day, Beijing Daily reported. It has also opened
two brick-and-mortar (实体的) bookstores-one in Beijing, the other in Shanghai.
39．Why does buying second-hand item become more popular
A．Because people have made more money. B．Because Deja Vu has became popular.
C．Because people don’t like their old things. D．Because people think they are cheap and
green.

B．She thinks the prices of the books in Deja Vu is 30% of the new one.

（B）On social media platforms such as Xiaohongshu, we’re seeing more posts with the
tag lines “I will listen” and “listen to me.” A puzzled person may have trouble deciding on
where to go on a vacation, which restaurant offers the best seafood or whether Huawei’s Mate
60 is a better buy than the iPhone 15. Write a post titled “I will listen” and it’s likely that a
warm-hearted person will quickly reply with a suggestion.
Now, the problem is, should you follow the advice of a complete stranger Is his or her
advice true or is it just a personal opinion Opinions, after all, are not facts—they are just
personal judgments. Still, it’s important to take different voices into consideration.
Whenever I buy something online, I always read the comments (评论) posted by the last
customers. If there are too many negative comments, I probably won’t consider buying it. On
the other hand, if all of the comments are unusually positive, my doubtful brain takes over and
I think the seller may be using comments to increase the sale of the product.
Apart from online business posts, other “listen-to-me” posts cause a more complex
problem. In these posts, people are often giving advice on traps (陷阱) and problems that could
trouble other people. Personal problems such as relationships, job choices and even mental
health are among the most common topics. Their suggestions may be truthful, but they don’t
necessarily fit in with the special situation of others.
For these big “topics”, it’s better to talk to friends, families, teachers and professional
experts. Those people who are close to you know and care about you and will stay by your side,
unlike an online poster you may never hear from again.
The Internet is like a great “shop” for getting and exchanging information. But, as with
any shop, let the buyer be more careful.
43．What mainly influences our deciding on products online according to the passage
A．The sales of products. B．The opinions from customers.
C．The names of companies. D．The posters of shops.
44．How does the writer show his ideas about online shopping in Paragraph 3
A．By explaining the results. B．By telling stories.
C．By raising questions. D．By comparing differences.
45．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to
A．Suggestions. B．Topics. C．Problems. D．Posts.
14
46．In the writer’s opinion, it’s best to ________ when we shop online.
A．make decisions as the online posts suggest
B．communicate with the people who stay by our side
C．avoid sharing personal problems on the Internet
D．collect different opinions from different customers

（E）Our world is full of unsung real-life heroes, who show up in times of disaster at great
sacrifice to themselves, who raise funds to support those in need and who save lives. My sister
never talks about the pain she bears, neither does she talk about her achievements. So today. I
share this story, to praise my beautiful sister, an unsung hero.
Kim, my sister, , was born with a growth hormone deficiency (激素缺乏). From an early
age she received daily injections (注射) to help her grow. I didn’t know how she ended the pain.
Doctors said her brain wouldn’t develop normally and she wouldn’t do something. But she proved
them all wrong!
Kim’s volunteer work started at the age of nine in primary school. Every day Kim assisted
17
the special needs class during her lunch breaks. She helped entertain, feed the students and
continued her work with the children until she left primary school.
Because of her height, my sister would get pushed in the corridors (走廊), but that didn’t
stop her from helping others. Kim later trained as a youth worker at the local church and
eventually became a Sunday school teacher and the kids loved her.
As she grew into an adult, she continued to help people and even started a school holiday
program for disabled children, which has been running for twenty years. She used her yearly leave
to look after these children and refused to take money for it.
My sister constantly deals with hardships, reoccurring health problems and continuous
pains due to her condition. Yet, every morning she gets up, she never says “What can I take from
this world”. She says, “Thank you Lord. I am alive. I have air in my lungs—now how may I be of
service.” This is how she lives.
54．What is the function of The first paragraph
A．To explain a fact. B．To introduce a topic.
C．To make a suggestion. D．To make a comparison.
55．What can we know about Kim according to the text
