“I hope so，” Victor said.

Have you ever thought how good it would be if an unfinished handwork project, which stopped because the owner passed away, could be lovingly completed
Friends and knitters (编织者) Jennifer Simonic and Masey Kaplan started the Loose Ends Project in September 2022. The pair match “volunteer finishers” with unfinished projects online so they can carefully complete them and then return them to the people they were being made for.
It all started when founders, Simonic and Kaplan, realized that they had both been asked by friends to finish knitting hats, sweaters or other unfinished projects started by their dead moms.When more friends asked them for help, they felt it would be a good idea to “have strangers be able to finish things for each other”．
Helping strangers this way, which also assists them to get through their grieving process, was something that the two had happily agreed to do, understanding how wonderful it feels to be dressed in something a loved one has created.
Adding a touching couple of extra steps, once the finishers receive the project, they may highlight the last stitch (针) worked by the dead maker in a special way before they restart the work.
In just a few months, Loose Ends Project has built up a global team of over 7，000 volunteers. New volunteers are asked to share their skill sets and interests. When Loose Ends Project receives a project, the founders identify a good fit based on these skills. The Loose Ends Project team will let the volunteers try the work to “check if they're feeling it too”， as Simonic and Kaplan never want the work to be a chore.
Volunteers do not charge for their work, while families are only asked to cover the shipping costs. The group tries to match projects to volunteers living nearby to reduce the shipping costs to the lowest.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了编织者Jennifer Simonic和 Masey Kaplan于2022年9月启动了Loose Ends Project，帮助人们完成去世的亲人未完成的编织东西的故事。
24．What is the goal of the Loose Ends Project？(　　)
A．To promote handwork art.
B．To sell handwork products online.
C．To recycle good handwork projects.
D．To complete unfinished handwork projects.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“Friends and knitters (编织者) Jennifer Simonic and Masey Kaplan started the Loose Ends Project in September 2022. The pair match ‘volunteer finishers’ with unfinished projects online so they can carefully complete them and then return them to the people they were being made for.”可知，Loose Ends Project是为了完成未完成的手工项目。
25．What does the underlined word “grieving” mean in Paragraph 4？(　　)
A．Painful. B．Amazing.
C．Touching. D．Unforgettable.
答案：A
解析：词义猜测题。根据上文“It all started when founders, Simonic and Kaplan, realized that they had both been asked by friends to finish knitting hats, sweaters or other unfinished projects started by their dead moms.”可知，Simonic和Kaplan帮助人们完成由去世的亲人未完成的编织的东西，以这种方式帮助陌生人度过失去亲人的悲伤的过程，由此可推知，画线单词grieving意为“悲伤的”，与A项“Painful(痛苦的)”意义一致。
26．What extra step may volunteers do with unfinished works？(　　)
A．They may sign their names on the works.
B．They may add receivers' information on them.
C．They may mark the original maker's last stitch.
D．They may make a special design for the last stitch.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Adding a touching couple of extra steps, once the finishers receive the project, they may highlight the last stitch (针) worked by the dead maker in a special way before they restart the work.”可知，志愿者对未完成的工作可能会采取的额外措施是，他们会标记由原来编织者所缝制的最后一针。
27．Which of the following can best describe the service of the Loose Ends Project？(　　)
A．Thoughtful. B．Quick.
C．Limited. D．Safe.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Adding a touching couple of extra steps, once the finishers receive the project, they may highlight the last stitch (针) worked by the dead maker in a special way before they restart the work.”和倒数第二段中“The Loose Ends Project team will let the volunteers try the work to ‘check if they're feeling it too’， as Simonic and Kaplan never want the work to be a chore.”可推知，Loose Ends Project的服务是周到的，故选A。

Virtue, by definition, is the moral excellence of a person. Morally excellent people have a character made up of virtues valued as good. They are honest, respectful, courageous, forgiving and kind, for example. They do the right thing, and don't bend to impulses, urges or desires, but act according to values and principles. Some might say good qualities are inborn. Actually, virtues need to be cultivated. With the habit of being virtuous, we can take control of our lives and move them in the direction of greater happiness and fulfillment.
Virtues are universal and recognized by all cultures as basic qualities of well-being. However, practicing virtues is not easy. So often we know that it takes perseverance to reach our goals, and we still never get there. We know if we forgive, we'll be less angry. We know it takes courage to accomplish great things. So why then, if we know what to do, are we still stuck
Because we have not yet consciously applied a virtue to a given situation so as to change its outcome such as in these examples: Kindness towards someone who is having a bad day can make him or her smile and build rapport ; trust in a relationship creates valuable, meaningful relationships; gratitude in a job loss can shift our focus from feeling low to how we can have a new, more fulfilling career; service to others can change lives, better neighborhoods and create stronger nations.
We know we are becoming more virtuous people, not only because of the results above but also because of the way other people respond to us. Our friends, families, co-workers, and neighbors will trust and rely on us. They will come to us for guidance and help. They will want to be around us because we inspire them to be better people. Practicing virtues allows us to develop our potential, and live a more purposeful, better life.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了践行美德能让我们开发自己的潜能，过上更有目标、更美好的生活。

C．They have a habit of doing good.
D．They act on the principle of profit.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“With the habit of being virtuous, we can take control of our lives and move them in the direction of greater happiness and fulfillment.”可知，具有美德的人有行善的习惯。
33．What is the second paragraph mainly about？(　　)
A．Satisfying career.
B．Practicing virtues.
C．Trust in a relationship.
D．Basic qualities of well being.
答案：B
解析：段落大意题。根据第二段中的“However, practicing virtues is not easy.(然而，践行美德并不容易。)”和 “So why then, if we know what to do, are we still stuck？(那么，既然我们知道该怎么做，为什么我们仍然被困住了呢？)”可知，本段主要讲的是“践行美德”。
34．What does the underlined word “rapport” mean in Paragraph 3？(　　)
A．A good greeting.
B．A great atmosphere.
C．A good goodbye.
D．A close relationship.
答案：D
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词所在的句子“Kindness towards someone who is having a bad day can make him or her smile and build rapport”以及后面的“trust in a relationship creates valuable, meaningful relationships(在一段关系中，信任能创造出有价值、有意义的关系)”可知，画线词是“融洽关系”的意思。

A．To encourage readers to be more virtuous.
B．To encourage readers to live a purposeful life.

第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Become a Trustworthy Person
Being trustworthy is admirable and desirable. It always feels great to have others rely on you and people prefer to make friends with those who are reliable, supportive and honest. Here are some practical ways to help you become a trustworthy person.
Be of good character.
Have more than good intentions in life. While it's nice to mean well, it's far better to show people that you're a person who is reliable. 36(____) Actions prove far more than words.
37(____)
When you say that you will do something for someone, then do it. People rely on a promise and seeing it through is a great quality of a trustworthy person. Don't break your promise. If you have problems keeping it, talk to the person about the situation.
Keep secrets.
38(____) That is a bond to never be broken. You must guard these secrets closely unless and until the person who told you says that you can do otherwise.
Don't lie.
There will be times when lying seems like the right way out of something. Yet, the truth will eventually come out. Just as Mark Twain once said，“If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything”， it's the truth that makes for a simpler, happier and more fulfilling life.
39(____)
Tell people you may have hurt that you're sorry for making a mistake, for getting them wrong or for being totally out of order. You may like to explain the reason why you did something, but that depends on the situation. Sometimes it's just best to say sorry and to own your mistake. Then, do your best to make it up to the other person.
40(____) It takes time to change bad habits, a poor attitude and bad ways of reacting to others. Earning trust takes time too, especially if you have been a difficult human being in the past. Yet, it will happen, especially as you continue to prove through your actions that you are reliable, honest and of good character.
A． Apologize for your mistakes.
B．Support and help each other to continue growing as good human beings throughout life.
C．Keep your word.
D．Remember that being trustworthy is a journey, not an endpoint.
E.Some honesty can be hard but is still essential.
F．Good, caring and thoughtful actions make good character.
G．People tell you things that are kept untold because they think you are trustworthy.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何成为值得信赖的人。
36．答案：F
解析：根据后句“Actions prove far more than words. ”(事实胜于雄辩。)，可知F项 Good, caring and thoughtful actions make good character.(良好、关心和体贴的行为造就良好的性格。)与下文衔接自然，意思一致，且“actions”原词重现。
37．答案：C
解析：设空处是本段小标题， 根据其他的小标题可知，此处也应为祈使句。根据下文“When you say that you will do something for someone, then do it.”(当你说你会为某人做某事时，那就去做。)可知，C项Keep your word.(遵守诺言)合乎语境。
38．答案：G
解析：本段的标题句为Keep secrets.(保守秘密)可知G项People tell you things that are kept untold because they think you are trustworthy.(人们会告诉你一些不为人知的事情，因为他们认为你是值得信赖的。)为标题句的延伸，话题一致。
39．答案：A
解析：设空处是本段小标题， 根据其他的小标题可知此处也应为祈使句。根据后句“Tell people you may have hurt that you're sorry for making a mistake, for getting them wrong or for being totally out of order.”可知A项Apologize for your mistakes.(为你的错误道歉)概括本段内容。
40．答案：D
解析：根据后句“It takes time to change bad habits, a poor attitude and bad ways of reacting to others.”可知，成为值得信赖的人是需要时间的。故D项Remember that being trustworthy is a journey, not an endpoint.(记住，变得值得信赖是一段旅程，而不是终点)合乎语境。

第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)

参考范文：
Dear Henry，
How is everything going I'd like to invite you to take part in our community service, for your warm heart is known far and wide.
With the New Year approaching, some elderly people who live in the nursing home in our community may feel extremely lonely without a family. In order to create a joyous atmosphere for them, I plan to visit them every week this winter vacation. Helping them with their housework and chatting with them will surely bring them much pleasure and drive their loneliness away. If you could come, they would be more than pleased to receive “international” care.
I hope we can gain happiness from our voluntary service.
Looking forward to your coming!
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
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。
Janet couldn't lift spirit all day, for she missed everything in New Jersey. Her family had just moved here from New Jersey, having rented a small restaurant, which was planned to open next Sunday. She helped her mother and father wash the kitchen supplies in the shiny new kitchen.
“I hate this stupid decision. I have lost all my friends in New Jersey. What should I do now？” Janet muttered to herself (喃喃自语).
“What's up？” her mother asked, and never stopped wiping the table and mopping the floor.
“Nothing，” Janet answered in a low voice. The girl had been complaining about the move but her parents had made the decision ignoring (忽视)her feelings. And now they were too busy to comfort her. What's worse, the first few days at her new school hadn't been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to the new classmates surrounding her, and even harder to follow the teachers' pace. Faced with so many challenges, she felt depressed and gave a deep sigh. But the moment she saw her hardworking parents, she could do nothing but look forward and stopped her complaints.
On the day of the grand opening, the three were wearing broad smiles, welcoming customers into the restaurant. Even Janet was in high spirits as she rushed around, seating guests, ordering dishes, and serving glasses of water. What a big day for her family!
At one of the tables sat a family with a girl who was about Janet's age. As she filled their glasses, Janet realized the girl was in her class. Janet lowered her head to avoid looking directly into her eyes, and she turned away from the table.
Janet's mother noticed what had happened, and followed Janet to the kitchen. “Honey, what are you doing back here We need you out and you are really a helper.”

参考范文：
“Mom, I don't want to be out there. There is a girl from my school! ” Janet sat in the corner, with her spirit sinking. Feeling Janet was in an embarrassment, her mother realized she had ignored Janet's feelings after the move. She expressed her sincere apology to Janet, holding Janet in her arms, and suggested that she make new friends by serving her a lemonade and some cookies. “Taking action is the most effective way to get rid of loneliness！” The instant Janet heard that, her eyes shone with a mixture of excitement and expectation.
Janet left the kitchen with a glass of lemonade and a plate of cookies. Nervous as she was, she gathered her courage to approach the table where the girl sat, placing the lemonade and cookies down carefully. She bravely looked at the girl directly into the eyes. “Hello, I'm Janet. Thanks so much for coming to our restaurant！” The girl looked up, with a bright smile on her rosy face, and gave her a big hug. They became close friends from then on. Most importantly, Janet's enthusiasm about new life was increasingly growing.
