语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己的亲身经历告诉我们:关注诚实可以让人更快乐。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知,作者的女儿在她解释到一半时就已经失去了兴趣。
2.C 推理判断题。文章第一段提到那只猫,作者在第二段中由此发出感慨:the choice to lie or be honest was often a choice between two equally undesirable things,紧接着又进一步做出了Telling my daughter the truth did not make me happier, but lying wouldn’t have either.的解释。由此可知,作者认为诚实让自己不开心,但撒谎也不会让自己开心。因此,C项中的tricky pair描述了诚实和撒谎之间微妙的关系。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的I struggled more with the small instances of honesty, rather than the big可知,作者提到自己在麦当劳的买餐经历,就是为了说明当涉及小事时,人们往往容易忽略诚实。本段采用了对比的写作手法,将客户重复支付的1000美元(数额大→大事)和麦当劳多找零的an extra dollar(数额小→小事)进行对比说明主题。
4.B 观点态度题。根据最后两段中的I started to like how it felt、I tended to feel better、this focus on honesty helped me feel that I was doing my part以及make you feel as if you have gold in your brain可知,作者认为关注诚实有好处。
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。一场在悉尼歌剧院举办的商业推广活动引发了公众的热议。作者认为人们应当尊重和赞赏国家的瑰宝,而不是通过它获取经济利益。
5.A 细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知,悉尼歌剧院为一场赛马比赛打广告引起了很大的争议。一些人认为歌剧院应该用于获取经济利益,另外一些人则对政府批准将国家级地标用于商业宣传感到震惊。
6.D 细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句可知,从前在悉尼歌剧院举办的活动都是公益活动,与单个品牌的收益无关。
7.B 推理判断题。根据第三段和第四段的最后一句可知,作者提及莫斯科红场的例子是为了说明将著名景点用于商业宣传,最终只会给景点带来负面影响。
8.B 观点态度题。根据最后一段最后一句可知,作者认为人们应该尊重和赞赏国家瑰宝,而不是利用它们获取经济利益。由此可推知,作者对在悉尼歌剧院举办的商业推广活动持反对意见。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了诚实正直的品质在生活中很重要的几个原因。
9.F 上文介绍了诚实正直的含义,下面几段介绍了拥有诚实正直的品质在生活中很重要的几个原因,故F项符合语境。
10.B 根据本段小标题“你会建立更好的关系”可知,B项(诚实正直的品质对于改善人际关系非常重要)符合语境。B项中的relationships与小标题中的relationships以及空后两次出现的relationships构成原词复现。
11.C 设空处前一句说明诚实正直的品质会大大提高你的信誉,设空处后一句指出信任拥有道德价值和标准的人是人类的天性。因此,C项(如果你拥有诚实正直的价值观,人们就会开始信任你)符合语境。C项中的trust与上文中的credibility和下文中的believe in相呼应。
12.E 上文指出如果你是一个诚实正直的人,那么你的自信心自然会变强。反之,自信心就会下降。因此,E项(总之,诚实正直的品质能让你对自己充满信心)符合语境。E项中的feel very sure about the person you are与空前的self-confidence相呼应。
13.G 上文说明当人们开始信任你时,你就拥有了领导力。下文指出领导力不仅仅是最优秀的品质之一,也是年轻人在成长过程中应该学习的一项重要生活技能。因此,G项(这就是为什么你会发现大多数领导者都是诚实正直的人)符合语境。G项中的leaders与设空处前后均出现的leadership相呼应。

5.B 观点态度题。根据第一段中的When Newey delivered a large apple pizza to Gladys Valdez a few weeks ago with a smile and struck up a conversation和第二段中Gladys所说的He was just so friendly, really talkative, and just super sweet and genuine可知,Newey在Gladys的眼里是一个热情、善于交际的人。
6.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的he decided to crowdfund on Newey’s behalf via a Venmo link on his TikTok page可知,Carlos通过在网上筹集资金来帮助Newey。
7.A 词义猜测题。根据第三段开头的the surprise delivery和Carlos带来的善款以及画线词后面的his eyes filled with tears可推知,Newey 大吃一惊,满眼泪水。故画线词flabbergasted意为“非常震惊”。

12.G 设空处前一句指出:举例来说,接受过基本服从训练的狗了解什么行为是主人可以接受的,也清楚主人对它的期望。G项(这可以帮助它在家庭环境中更加乐于合作、感到舒适、充满自信)紧承上文,符合语境。G项中的This指代设空处前描述的情况。
13.A 上文说明了爱可能是最重要的一项责任。下文指出了它们是需要你照顾的伙伴;它们能够理解你;它们以你的幸福为生活目标。负责任的宠物主人会努力为它们做同样的事情。A项(你的宠物不是你的财产)符合语境。

8.A 词义猜测题。根据第二段第二句及第四句可知,养育子女没有全面的指导手册,希望你的丈夫或妻子能帮助你向着正确的方向前进。据此推断,画线短语所在句表示有时候你会出错。由此可猜测,screw up意为“把……弄糟;出错”,与mess up意思相近。

14.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,维苏耶雷指出在现实世界中,你可能需要通过额外的调查或后续问题来确认陈述的准确性,即他认为他的研究应用于现实生活中会有一些局限性。
15.C 写作意图题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了评估范围广泛的行为信息会让判断一个人是否在撒谎变得更加困难,阿姆斯特丹大学的布鲁诺·维苏耶雷和他的同事们进行了一项研究,以证实只依靠陈述的细节来识别说谎者是相对容易的。由此可推知,作者写本文的主要目的是告知读者关于识别说谎者的科学发现。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了青少年时期的一些特点以及远离消极同伴压力的方法。

Dear Chris,
Glad to receive your email asking about the voluntary activity I took part in last week.I’ll tell you some details about it.
Our school organized a voluntary activity to help the elderly in the local nursing home, and I got actively involved, talking with the old people and trying my best to amuse them.Looking at their smiling faces, I believe I’ve made a difference to their lives.I also realized the importance of having family close by.I made up my mind that I would spend more time with my grandparents.
Yours,
Li Hua

A week later, the team gathered at the lot, carrying tools purchased with their earnings or donated by neighbours.Staring at the unused field of dirt, rocks, and weeds, Mariana thought it was not the soccer field in their dream.But she kicked into action with the others, cleaning up the mess.There was a huge rock in the middle of the field and the team moved it onto a rented truck.However, a gaping hole immediately appeared.With everyone working together they moved enough soil from the field’s edges to fill the hole.
Opening day attracted a huge crowd of soccer fans, all amazed by the new field.Before the game, the Rockers gathered together.They did it.Together they successfully turned an unseemly lot into their field of dreams.Everyone was excited and they decided to get out there hand in hand.Later, as the clock was running out on the 0∶0 score, Mariana kicked the ball hard.When she saw it slip through the opposing goalie’s hands, she realized that her dream had actually come true!

Feeling that country life might turn out okay, I wandered off, taking my violin with me.Suddenly I heard something I wasn’t expecting — a beautiful, jazzy tune.I pushed through some corn only to come face-to-face with a cow.Then another hot jazz riff floated through the air.I turned around and saw a tall kid playing an old saxophone in a field of corn.His music was fantastic, and he didn’t dress the way I figured a country kid would.This guy was wearing clothes that made him look cool, like a famous performer.
I couldn’t resist, so I took out my violin and began to play along.The boy looked surprised, but he didn’t miss a beat.We played together, and by the end, a cow was tapping her tail to the rhythm.When we finished, we introduced ourselves to each other and became friends.We also decided to write songs together.I looked at my new friend, the cheerful cow and tall corn.I could feel my thoughts about country life already changing, and I had a feeling it would change a lot more.

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了企业越来越重视员工的学习能力的现象。
1.C 目的意图题。根据第一段内容可知,就寻找、保住工作而言,有一项技能变得越来越重要,即学习能力。Eric Schmidt曾谈到谷歌的招聘重点是寻找“学习型动物”,即能够主动学习的人。作者通过介绍谷歌的招聘理念,举例说明了企业认为学习能力是一项重要的技能。
2.A 词义猜测题。根据第二段最后三句可知,很多雇主通常都不愿意培训员工,因为这些员工在接受了昂贵的培训且获得技能后,可能会跳槽到竞争对手处。但Gail Jackson持有不同的观点,她曾说:“与其不培训员工并把他们留在公司,还不如让员工接受培训后再离开。”由此可推知,“这种态度”是指企业应该在员工培训方面作出投资。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,Satya Nadella在接任微软总裁时,为公司文化制定了一个新方向。他借鉴了一位心理学教授的观点,改进了其绩效评估标准,包括评估员工是如何向他人学习并应用所学知识的。由此可推知,Satya Nadella上任后,在企业内推广了一种学习型文化。
4.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知,AT & T面临着两大劳动力问题,该公司的应对措施是一项宏伟的计划:重新培训自己的员工。该公司开发了一些短期课程,员工能利用自己的时间来学习新技能。由此可知,AT & T的应对方法是培训现有员工学习新技能。

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英语学习者最常犯的几个错误。
9.E 上文说明了全球大约有十亿英语学习者,但是要流利地使用英语并非易事。根据下文四个小标题可知,E项(下面是英语学习者最常犯的一些错误)符合语境。
10.A 空前一句指出:在英语中,很多形容词在意思和形式上都很相似,比如bored/boring和interested/interesting。下文指出结果,英语学习者一不小心就会用错。A项(这几对词语仅相差几个字母)符合语境,与下文构成因果关系。A项中的These pairs指代设空处前一句中列举的两对形容词。
11.F 空前一句指出:在许多语言中,宾格代词(例如him和her)和物主代词(例如his和hers)是相同的。F项以西班牙语进行举例说明,符合语境。F项中的both translated as “su libro”与设空处前一句中的the same相呼应。
12.C 上文指出:在许多语言中,你只需要在句子末尾加一个问号,就能把陈述句变成疑问句。C项(但在英语中,要想构成疑问句,通常需要改变词序)符合语境,与上文构成转折关系。C项中的word order与小标题中的word order构成原词复现。
13.D 上文说明了英语中有三个冠词:“the”“an”和“a”,英语老师都清楚的一点是,很难解释清楚冠词使用的准确规则,况且还有很多特殊用法。D项(对于母语中没有冠词的学习者来说,这点尤其困难)符合语境。D项中的articles与小标题中的article和上文中的articles构成原词复现。

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国一家公司研发的微型博物馆,旨在让更多人有机会参观博物馆,让学习在不经意间发生。

2.A 推理判断题。作者在第二段末句提出问题:到底是什么让该博物馆赢得大众的普遍赞誉?第三段是为解释该问题服务的;第三段谈到该博物馆为了向人们解释软体动物的奥秘下了大功夫,还谈到其选址的独特性:由于规格较小,可以随时移动,可在公共机构设置此类博物馆。
3.D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的MICRO seeks to make exhibits more accessible in places with fewer museums.可知,MICRO选址时更倾向于考虑博物馆比较少的地方,以满足这些区域的人们对展览的需求。
4.A 标题归纳题。文章介绍了MICRO公司的微型博物馆,旨在让更多人有机会参观博物馆,让学习在不经意间发生。A项作标题最能概括文意。A项中的Tiny Museums指MICRO公司开发的这种自动售货机大小的博物馆,Big Ideas指MICRO公司的愿景。
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。为了负担得起成为一名全日制学生,作者开始做一份全职工作,结果因为出勤率问题收到了最后一次警告,只能选择暂时停止上学,继续工作。后来公司关闭了,作者为自己的决定感到后悔。
5.C 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,作者得到了经济援助,能够负担得起入学费用、书籍、用品、课程材料和其他与学校相关的费用,但负担不起住房、交通、食物、医疗和其他基本生活必需品。由此可推知,作者在经济上陷入困境。
6.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文可知,作者很快开始在机场做飞机客舱清洁工,因此在机场的第一个夜班,作者就要清理各种大小的飞机。由此可知,画线词意为“清理”。
7.A 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,在机场工作和上学不太容易兼顾。在秋季学期结束时,作者因为出勤率问题收到了最后一次警告。作者又一次处于进退两难的境地,不得不作出决定。作者想去上学,取得优异成绩,但也已经习惯了在经济上养活自己。由此可推知,作者很困惑。
8.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,作者为工作付出了很多,甚至牺牲了自己的教育,现在作者将既没有工作也没有教育。作者终于明白了祖母曾经说过的一句话:你的工作是暂时的,而你所受的教育是永远的。由此可推知,学校教育的重要性应该得到承认。

15.B 参见上题解析。
16.C 根据上文a senior at Eastern High和下文back in the ninth grade可知,Mikala现在是高中生,因此她从九年级开始这份工作。末段中的when she started almost four years ago也是提示。
17.B 根据上文Mikala, a senior at Eastern High和空后的like her可知,这里指像Mikala一样的高中生。
18.D 根据空后两句可知,这是两个方面,表示Reach这个非营利机构既帮助读写能力差的学生,与此同时也让教他们的老师(高年级的学生)受益。
19.C 根据上文to be reading tutors for elementary school students可知,此处指华盛顿特区公立学校三分之二的学生在上高中时,不具备与年级水平相对应的阅读或写作能力。
20.B 破折号后的by giving them the tools to teach younger kids解释说明其前的内容,因此,Reach帮助这些高年级学生成为更好的阅读者。这里体现的是“教学相长”的思想,即教别人的同时也提升了自己。
21.C 根据上文trains high school ...to be reading tutors for elementary school students可知,很显然,这里的教师项目是将低年级和高年级学生进行配对。
22.A 根据该空后的But most以及接下来介绍Reach的不同做法可知,类似这种配对的教师项目很常见。
23.C 下文Most of the teenage tutors ...reading between the fourth-and sixth-grade level.是解答本题的关键信息,同类项目中的青少年教师都成绩优秀,而Reach开展的这个项目中,所选的青少年教师本身阅读水平并不高,因此四个选项中只有high-achieving与之构成对比,符合语境。
24.A 冒号后的内容具体介绍Reach的做法。turn sth on its head意为“颠倒某事物预期的顺序”。
25.D 根据上文this work、a tutoring program、Tutoring programs可知,此处指这个教师项目。
26.B 根据tutors和training并结合上文trains high school ...可知,这些教师都是高中生,且阅读水平并不是很高,因此他们要接受读写能力指导的培训。
27.A 根据下文role models可知,这些教师被定位为榜样。

Barrett Smith, 13, Utah
The wheels began to turn for Barrett Smith when he heard about Karma Bike Shop, a place where young people can earn free bikes by reading and performing community service.

He expected to get about 10 donated bikes.In the end, Barrett received 39.
Zachary Blohm, 15, Wisconsin
The 25-year-old playground at an elementary school near Milwaukee, Wisconsin was so small that only 70 of its 575 students could play on it at a time.

(2024·江苏扬州高二统考期中)The history of humankind is littered with crafty and seasoned liars.Lying, it turns out, is something that most of us are highly skilled in.We lie with ease, in ways big and small, to strangers, co-workers, friends, and loved ones.Being dishonest is woven into our very fabric, so that it would be truthful to say that to lie is human.
Like learning to walk and talk, lying is something of a developmental milestone.While parents often find their children’s lies troubling — for they signal the beginning of a loss of innocence — Kang Lee, a psychologist, sees the emergence of the behavior in children as a comforting sign that their cognitive growth is on track.
To study lying in children, Lee and his colleagues use a simple experiment.They ask kids to guess the identity of toys hidden from their view, based on an audio clue.The sound played has nothing to do with the toy.“So you play Beethoven, but the toy’s a car,” Lee explains.The experimenter leaves the room, using the excuse of taking a phone call — a lie for the sake of science — and asks the child not to peek at the toy.Returning, the experimenter asks the child for the answer, following up with the question:“Did you peek or not?”
Most children can’t resist peeking.The percentage of the children who peek and then provide false statements about it depends on their age.Among two-year-old, only 30 per cent are mendacious.Among three-year-old, 50 per cent lie.And by eight, about 80 per cent claim they didn’t peek.
What drives this increase in lying is the development of a child’s ability to put himself or herself in someone else’s shoes.Known as theory of mind, this is the facility we acquire for understanding the beliefs, intentions, and knowledge of others.What then might be the best way to block the rapid advance of untruths into our lives? The answer isn’t clear.Technology has opened up a new frontier for dishonesty, adding a 21st-century twist to the age-old problem.
4.What can we learn about the human tendency to lie?( )
A.It is a rare occurrence.
B.It is part of human nature.
C.It emerges in adulthood.
D.It results from human greed.
5.Which statement will Kang Lee probably agree with?( )
A.Children who lie are more likely to fail.
B.Parents should prevent children from lying.
C.Lying in children suggests a normal growth.
D.Lying is a sign of a child’s loss of innocence.
6.What were the children asked to do in the experiment?( )
A.Determine the names of the hidden items.
B.Provide false statements about their actions.
C.Hide toys from the view of the experimenter.
D.Guess the link between toys and sound clues.
7.What does the underlined word “mendacious” in Paragraph 4 mean?( )
A.Cooperative. B.Trustworthy.
C.Irresponsible. D.Untruthful.
C
Not every man is cut out to be a father.If the thought of fatherhood fills you with fear, maybe it isn’t for you or maybe it’s a sign that you take the responsibility of fatherhood seriously.
As a parent, you are always going to have to trust your instincts (本能).There’s no comprehensive rule book on parenting.You’ll screw up sometimes.Hopefully, your husband or wife will be there to nudge (鼓励) you in the right direction.And, as in many other aspects of life, doing the right thing will rarely make you popular.Your kids will need limits and discipline, and some days they will get angry with you for it.But the kids know on some level that they need limits and that the responsible parent who is setting and enforcing them is doing so because he or she cares.It’s the children whose parents allow them to do anything they want who often harbour doubts about whether they are really loved.
Certainly, we can find meaning in a lot of places in life.But for most of us who have seen the emergence of a small baby, fatherhood gives life unparalleled meaning.Parenthood, for a lot of us, may well be an antidepressant — not because you always feel good, but because you no longer have any time to sit around feeling bad.Your kids will always need you in one way or another — first for bottle-feeding, then as fellow pretend superheroes and to apply Band-Aids to skinned knees, and then, when they are teenagers, as a free personal Uber service or, once in a great while, for unexpected deep talks about the meaning of life.
I know what I did with my kids day after day, night after night, year over year, mattered so much.I won’t pretend to have everything figured out about life, but I did figure out the immeasurable value in being one link in a great chain of family, stretching back to our ancestors and continuing into the future, into whatever the world throws at us next.

People trained to detect lies often rely on multiple signs, such as eye contact, length of responses and the details in what people say, but studies have shown that assessing a wide range of behavioural information can make it harder to decide if someone is lying.Bruno Verschuere at the University of Amsterdam and his colleagues wondered whether solely focusing on the detail of statements could provide more consistent results.
To test this idea, researchers asked 44 students to go for a walk or steal from a mock (模仿的) crime.Students were instructed to lie if they committed the fake theft.
Next, the researchers recruited 171 people to watch six truthful and six deceptive (欺骗的) interviews from these recordings, ranking interviewees’ eye contact and detail level.The results revealed that both truth-tellers and liars averted (转移) their gaze a similar amount, but truthful statements were substantially more detailed than deceptive ones, suggesting the latter is a more useful way to tell that someone is lying.
The researchers then asked 405 people to judge the true nature of six truthful and six deceptive statements randomly chosen from the interviews.Around half of the participants used multiple cues to identify liars.The remaining participants solely ranked the level of detail in answers on a scale of 1 to 10, with 6 or above counting as truthful.Those using multiple cues distinguished lies from the truth 59% of the time, while those relying solely on detail achieved 66%.
“Our take is that using just one cue can provide a simpler way to judge lies from the truth,” says Verschuere.“Nevertheless, in the real world, you would probably need to confirm the accuracy of statements through extra investigations or follow-up questions.”
12.Bruno Verschuere and his colleagues conducted the research to confirm that .( )
A.behavioural information played a vital role in finding out the truth
B.it’s relatively easier to identify liars by relying only on the detail of statements
C.truth-tellers and liars shared something in common when performing the task
D.people should be trained to detect lies by referring to multiple cues
13.What can we learn from Paragraphs 3 and 4?( )
A.Truthful statements included considerably more details than deceptive ones.
B.Liars turned away their eyes more often than truth-tellers.
C.It’s difficult for participants to detect liars by using multiple cues like eye contact.
D.Participants who relied on one cue can distinguish lies from the truth faultlessly.
14.What did Verschuere think of the real-life application of his research?( )
A.It had no potential market.
B.It made no sense.
C.It could be perfectly applied.
D.It had some limitations.
15.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?( )
A.To introduce readers to the classification of lies.
B.To encourage readers to apply the results in real life.
C.To inform readers of scientific findings on detecting liars.
D.To warn readers of psychological harm of telling a lie.

Teenage years are one of the most exciting yet confusing stages in a person’s life.You are no longer a child, yet not quite an adult.16.( ) One of them is your pastime.
Some pastimes have no moral implications.For example, shall we play basketball or soccer?17.( ) Some examples include attending a party where there will be alcohol and drugs freely given out, lying to your parents or even skipping school to watch a movie with some friends.How do you respond? Will you follow them?
Wanting to feel part of a group may force you to do things against your better judgement.However, it is okay to say no to anything that is illegal, or potentially causes harm or is hurtful to you or others.18.( ) But you do not let that stop you from standing up to peer pressure and being true to yourself.If your friends are true friends, they will respect your decision and not force you to join them.
There are some steps you may take to keep away from negative peer pressure.Firstly, stay away from friends who force you to do things that you know are wrong.Instead, spend more time with friends who share the same value as you.19.( ) And if a situation gets out of hand, do not hesitate to approach an adult you trust for help.
It may not always be easy to resist peer pressure, but do know that you will feel good about yourself later.And even without you realizing it, you may have been a catalyst in your group to bring about a positive change.20.( )
A.This is when you form a new habit of making friends.
B.Next, be true to yourself and stick to what you believe in.
C.You are at a time of exploration, trying to find out your preferences.
D.These peers no longer have the ability to develop their own personality.
E.You may be afraid to refuse for fear of losing friends or being laughed at.
F.However, there are other choices that need to be made based on your values in life.
G.Others in your group may just follow your lead and gain courage to do the right thing.

I’ve been keeping an honesty journal for the past several months.The day I started the journal, my 6-year-old daughter asked me if the cat really went to sleep last year.I sighed, wondering if I should wait to start this honesty project until she was grown-up.But I braved it and told her that yes, I had made the choice for him to die, because he was suffering.She lost interest about halfway through my explanation.
It struck me that the choice to lie or be honest was often a choice between two equally undesirable things.Telling my daughter the truth did not make me happier, but lying wouldn’t have either.
Overall, I found that I struggled more with the small instances of honesty, rather than the big.So, when a client accidentally paid me twice for a project, there was no internal debate.It was $1,000, so obviously, I notified the client.But when the McDonald’s drive-through cashier gave me an extra dollar in change and the line had been so long and my kids were acting crazy in the back seat ...it was a different story.Even though I gave the dollar back, I almost didn’t.
Even though honesty felt like a struggle, I started to like how it felt.When I was more honest, I tended to feel better about my relationships and myself.I like the saying, “Everybody wants the truth, but nobody wants to be honest.” I didn’t always want to be honest.But I wanted the truth, and this focus on honesty helped me feel that I was doing my part.
The bottom line is that focusing on honesty is a way to actively engage with the world, instead of passively complaining about it.It might even make you feel as if you have gold in your brain.
1.How did the author’s daughter react to her explanation?( )
A.She paid little attention to it.
B.She thought it was incredible.
C.She praised the author for her bravery.
D.She would rather the author lied to her.
2.What lesson did the author learn from the cat event?( )
A.Honesty could make people happier.
B.Lying to a little child seemed wrong.
C.Lying and honesty were a tricky pair.
D.Honesty should come before lying.
3.What does the author want to show by mentioning her McDonald’s experience?( )
A.It’s crazy to choose to be honest.
B.People are likely to have two characters.
C.It’s the small instances that test one’s honesty.
D.People tend to ignore honesty concerning small things.
4.What is the author’s opinion on honesty?( )

C.It is reasonable to popularize it.
D.It is hard to learn from it.

There has been intense public debate within the Australian community over a horse racing event advertised on Australia’s most iconic building, the Sydney Opera House.While some believe that the Opera House is the city’s “biggest billboard (大幅广告牌)” and should be used for economic gain, others are shocked that the government has allowed the national landmark to be polluted with branding.
As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Sydney Opera House is an iconic Australian building that is recognised all over the world and one of the country’s most frequently visited tourist attractions.In the past, the Opera House has been used to promote a handful of charities, cultural festivals, etc.However, these have aimed to highlight issues or events in the public interest, not a single profiting brand.
Some have argued that branding on the sails of the Opera House is just like advertising on any other billboard or marketing space with the power to significantly boost tourism and growth.While this may be true, if advertising continues to happen, the Opera House could risk losing its reputation, which could devalue the landmark and actually damage its tourism appeal.
Although iconic landmarks around the world such as the Eiffel Tower and Moscow’s Red Square have been used for advertising, they also caused some arguments among the public.For instance, a major fashion brand placed a giant 2-storey branded suitcase in the centre of Moscow’s Red Square; however, it was removed shortly after as tourists complained it was so big that it blocked views of major landmark sites.The advertisement caused arguments among the public and finally failed to leave a positive impact.
So what will advertising on the Opera House look like to international tourists? Will they be amazed and drawn to visit a wonderful country, or will they see advertising as reducing the cultural value of a national icon? How would you react if you saw a marketing campaign on the Taj Mahal? We think it’s clear that our national treasures deserve the respect and admiration that comes with them, and advertising should be limited to important causes, not campaigns for commercial gain.
5.What caused heated discussion among the public in Australia?( )
A.The Sydney Opera House was used for business advertising.
B.A horse racing event was held around the Sydney Opera House.
C.Australia’s biggest billboard was fixed to the Sydney Opera House.
D.The Australian government ignored pollution around the Sydney Opera House.
6.What can we learn about the previous advertising activities at the Sydney Opera House?( )
A.They brought great economic benefits.
B.They were designed to entertain tourists.
C.They caught great international attention.
D.They focused on the wellbeing of the general public.
7.Why does the author mention the example of Moscow’s Red Square?( )
A.To show different business promotions in tourist attractions.
B.To show the negative effects of advertising on iconic landmarks.
C.To explain how fashion companies benefit from tourist attractions.
D.To explain why tourists dislike large billboards at iconic landmarks.
8.What is the author’s attitude towards the event mentioned in Paragraph 1?( )
A.Favourable. B.Intolerant.
C.Doubtful. D.Unclear.

I loaded The Ledger in the metal basket of my bicycle I called my tank.Balloon tires (低压轮胎) mobilized the red-black heavy bike I had found on a roadside left for the garbage man.In those days, the papers had to be left on the steps.Some customers requested I put them between the storm door and the front wooden door.
Saturday was collection day.When I knocked on the door, I never knew what I was going to get.Old man Kusek shouted out of the back of his kitchen, “I’ll pay you next week.” I made a note on his card that this was the fifth week in a row he had shouted those same words.
Every week I had cold feet about charging for the newspapers at Mr Schaefer’s house.As soon as I took the first step up, two German Shepherds bolted (突然快跑) against the screen door.Their barking always pushed me one step back from the door.“Don’t worry.They won’t hurt you,” a voice shouted from inside the house.Mr Schaefer came to the door to pay his bill with a dollar clenched (咬紧) between his teeth while he held each dog by their collar.Grabbing the money from his mouth, I turned and ran, thinking those fierce dogs were going to break free and eat me alive.
Every two weeks, Mr Kloch from The Ledger would come to collect the money.After I paid the amount, the rest was mine.Counting the change was the fun part to see how much money I’d made.
My first job as a paperboy taught me about managing money, serving customers, and accepting responsibility.I remember the time when I was in a grocery store with my mother.A family approached us and their little kid pointed at me and shouted,“That’s our paperboy!” I felt proud at that moment and I still do today.

Mariana and other River Edge Rockers, their community soccer team, dreamed of getting a regulation soccer field.She and her father would attend the Town Council meeting that night.They would also get the whole team there to convince the Council they needed a better field.
When they all arrived at the meeting hall and sat together, Councilwoman Maloof opened the discussion, and Mr Boyd, the Rockers’ manager, spoke first.“Our team currently practices in a tiny school yard, and only when it’s not already booked.”The team nodded immediately.
Mrs Yamagata, owner of Something Sushi, walked to the podium (讲台).“I believe the town owns an empty lot next to my restaurant,” she said.“Couldn’t that be a soccer field?” The Rockers cheered.
“A soccer field would be a good use for that lot,” Maloof said.“But the town simply doesn’t have the money to build and maintain one.”
“The Rockers can do it!” Mr Boyd spoke up.He began to negotiate with the Council.“If the town lets the Rockers use the vacant lot, we will turn it into a soccer field.”
After some discussion, the Council reached a decision.They approved using that lot for a community soccer field.The team cheered.
The following day, at Something Sushi, the team got together to share ideas for raising money.They finally decided to wash cars for their community.On the day of the car wash, car owners lined up in the middle school parking lot, where six wading pools (塑料浅水池) had been set up.The team began washing carefully.By the end of the day, the Rockers were soaked through (湿透) but excited about raising $750.In the next few days, the Rockers also invited neighbours to donate materials for building the field.

It was a Sunday night.I circled the neighbourhood a few times, looking for a place to leave my car.Finally, I found one a block south of my house.It was behind a late-model Jeep.I tried to back into the space, but I failed to see the angles clearly.I heard it before I felt it, the sound of plastic on plastic, like a sheet of sandpaper along the surface of a painted piece of wood.I got out of my car to check the damage.My car was unharmed.However, there were two distinct lines on the Jeep.
Then I noticed a woman, walking her dog, who was now photographing me with her phone.“I hope you’re not planning to drive away,” she said quietly.Until then, I was annoyed with myself for having been so careless, but now, I was mad with her for taking my picture.“How dare she?”I thought.She had no respect for my privacy.
And how dare she assume I would do the wrong thing? But soon I calmed down because I knew she wasn’t entirely incorrect.I’d made no decision to drive away without leaving a note, but I’d be lying if I said the idea hadn’t flashed across my mind.It was dark, and aside from her no one was watching.It happens all the time — the hit-and-run in the parking lot.
We all have those desires to behave selfishly, to go against the social contract; it is not the thought but what we do with it that counts.It is the commitment to take responsibility, to care for one another, and to think about the greater good that makes this world a better place to stay.The choice to own up was left to me.I left a note with my name and phone number under the wiper blade (雨刮器) of the Jeep.

89-year-old Derlin Newey, who lives in the Roy area of Utah, has supplemented (补充) his Social Security income for a little over a year by delivering food for Papa John’s Pizza.When Newey delivered a large apple pizza to Gladys Valdez a few weeks ago with a smile and struck up a conversation, Gladys was completely pleased.
“He was just so friendly, really talkative, and just super sweet and genuine,” Gladys told her husband, Carlos Valdez about Newey.Carlos was so taken with Newey’s friendliness and high passion — and the fact that he was delivering pizza at his age — that he decided to crowdfund on Newey’s behalf via a Venmo link on his TikTok page.Thousands of people donated and it all added up to more than $12,000.
Then came the surprise delivery.When Newey opened the door to his mobile home, Carlos was standing there holding an empty pizza box, which he had stuffed with an envelope full of all the cash.Newey was flabbergasted, and his eyes filled with tears.Since the initial fundraiser that brought in $12,000, people have donated $8,000 more for Newey.

Even if Newey didn’t need the extra income, he said, he would still do his delivery job because he loves it.“Oh, fantastic,” he said about his job.“I love the people I’m working with, and I love having pleasant conversations and making friends with people.The beautiful children — you should see the smiles on their faces when they say,‘Oh, we’re going to have pizza tonight!’ That’s worth more than the money I make.”
