One August afternoon,Richard Allen dropped off his last passenger,Mrs.Carey.Lifting two shopping bags,he followed her across the yard and stood on the step of her house.Looking up,he saw a large wasp nest(黄蜂巢穴) above the door.Allen had heard that wasps can become more likely to sting(刺,蛰) in summer.He mentioned this to Mrs.Carey,who had opened the door.
"Oh,they don't trouble me,"she said."I go in and out all the time."
Nervously,Allen looked at the nest again-to see the wasps flying straight at him."Hurry," he shouted to Mrs.Carey."Get in!"
She stepped quickly inside.Allen ran for his mini-bus.Too late.They were upon him.Just as he jumped aboard,several red stings showed on his arm,and he felt more on his back and shoulders.
As he was driving down the road,Allen felt as if something was burning at the back of his neck,and the"fire"was spreading forward toward his face.And immediate worry and fear took hold of him.Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die.But he had been stung last summer and the after-effects soon passed.However,what he didn't know was that the first sting had made his body a hidden risk,waiting for the next sting to cause a serious reaction.
Miles from the nearest medical help,Allen began to feel his tongue(舌头) thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder.Most terribly,he felt his breathing more and more difficult.He reached for the radio mike(话筒),trying to call the mini-bus center,but his words were hardly understandable.Signals were also poor that far out.He knew an emergency team was on 24-hour duty at the north Amherst Fire Station.So his best chance was to make a run for it.
Rushing down the mountain,Allen tried not to be afraid,focusing his mind on each quick turn.He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock.Just then he reached for the radio mike again.
"Call fire station,"he shouted,trying hard to form the words."Emergency.Bee sting.Emergency.There in ten minutes."
"Ok.Stay calm.We'll help you,"the center replied.
Hold on,Allen thought.Keep your eyes open.Breathe.Keep awake.
At last,he reached the station.Two firemen ran out.Allen felt their hands catch him before he hit the ground."You made it,"he thought.
26.How did Allen feel when he saw the wasps flying straight at him?______
A. Nervous B. Calm C. Excited D. Angry
27.Which of the following is true according to the story?______
A. Allen stopped his mini-bus to ask another driver for help.
B. Allen's call for help was clearly understood by the mini-bus center.
C. Allen was stung for the first time when he helped Mrs.Carey that afternoon.
D. Allen managed to reach the fire station and was saved just before he fell down.
28.What is the main idea of the passage?______
A. Helping others can sometimes bring us trouble.
B. Knowing the danger of wasp stings is important.
C. Staying calm and acting quickly helps in danger.
D. Calling a fire station is the best way to get help.

What was the best gift I ever received?Well,I'm a music lover,so I'd have to say it was either a Spotify subscription or my top-of-the-range Sony MDR-7506 headphones.Together they've provided me with countless hours of high-quality audio accompaniment.Growing up in a loving,well-off family in one of the richest countries in the world,what more could I want?
Giving gifts to loved ones is great:it's a rewarding way to spread joy and strengthen friendships and family ties.But at this time of year I'm always reminded of how many people not only get no presents but also lack the basics to allow them to live healthy lives.For me,luxury headphones were the perfect gift;for the world's poorest,it would be nutritious food,clean water and health care.
The poorest 10% of the world's population,some 700 million people,live on less than$1.90 per day.And that's adjusting for local purchasing power:they live on what $1.90 would buy in the U.S.Faced with this kind of budget,and often geographically isolated,they are forced to eat whatever they can find and drink and wash in unsafe water.They can only pray that they don't succumb to malnutrition,malaria or any number of other diseases that,while perfectly curable in rich countries,frequently ruin or end lives in the developing world.
I don't seek to make anyone feel guilty for exchanging luxury goods with the people they love.But it seems to me that there's another type of giving that is,if anything,even more profound:giving the basics of life to those most in need.Sure,you might not get a thank-you letter(who does these days?),but you'll have done something extraordinary.
However,I'm not just interested in people giving more to charity(although that is important).I'm also passionate about people giving smarter,because where you give can make a huge difference on the impact you'll have.
What do I mean by that?Well,to start with,there's a reason I've been talking about the developing world.Even average earners in the West are incredibly rich compared with the global poor,so a sum of money considered moderate for some could make a huge difference in the poorest countries.
That's not to say that all developing world poverty-relief charities are good at making a difference—that's certainly not the case.Plenty of money donated in good faith is lost to local corruption,poor administration or programs of intervention that sound great in theory but don't achieve much in practice.As a result,it's crucial to look at the effectiveness of the work a charity does before committing your money.How much good does it achieve for each dollar donated?Is there robust evidence for the impact of its programs?
It's not always easy for people to find the answers,but they are vital questions to ask.That's why there are now organizations devoted to finding and promoting the best charities.As part of the effective-altruism(利他主义) movements,they are dedicated to helping people make the biggest possible difference with their donations.
I love my music,and I love my headphones.But this year,the best gift I could get is to see as many people as possible giving generously to the most effective charities in the world.
29.What does the phrase"succumb to"(paragraph 3,line 5)mean?______
A. be unaffected by B. cease opposition to
C. be unconnected with D. help to cause
30.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?______
A. The author thinks that people giving luxury gifts to the ones they love should feel guilty.
B. The author believes that there is nothing more he wants because he grows up in very rich family.
C. The author argues that compared with those poor,an ordinary worker in the West doesn't earn much.
D. The author says that some diseases which might be deadly in poor countries can be cured in developed countries.
31.Which of the following statements can you possibly infer from the passage?______
A. People used to receive a letter of compliment from the receiver after they donated money to charities.
B. Giving smarter means that those who donate should know clearly how the charity works with the government.
C. Some charity programs fail to achieve much and seem to be less effective because they are not very practical.
D. The organizations devoted to finding the best charities aim to appeal to people to donate more money.
32.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?______
A. Giving the basics of life to those in need
B. Giving best gifts to your beloved ones
C. Making the best gift count
D. The effective-altruism movement
D
It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again.Every morning,I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had come to the top.I would go out and see the sunrise.
Then I received a note from Captain Nemo.He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crescent Island.Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to run away.When I saw Captain Nemo the next day,I asked him why he was so interested in Crescent Island. "I thought you preferred the sea."
"I do," replied the Captain, "But these forests are under the sea." During breakfast,he explained that he had made diving suits that used special air tanks.These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours.He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries.When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip,he decided not to come at all.Conseil and I put on our diving suits,and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men.We stepped into a room and closed the door.The room was filled with water,and another door opened.We went through it,and we were on the sea floor.It was an amazing experience.We were about ten metres under the water.The light from the sun reached us.Everything looked very colourful.We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells,fish and seaweed.Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area.We were going deeper and deeper.
As we were a hundred metres under the water,we could still see quite well.Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes.This was the forest.The "trees" there were giant seaweed (水藻),and all their branches were vertical (垂直的).We could not stop looking at them.Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest.Small bushes grew under the large seaweed trees.Three hours later,we lay down to rest.I was not hungry,but very sleepy.We all slept and when we woke up,we explored further.
( Adapted from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea)

37.(Alan wrote a social media(社交媒体) post about one of his favorite books.)
Do you like reading?What is your favorite book?I'm Alan.I sit by the shelf,listening to novelists tell stories and poets read works aloud.Sometimes I see teachers draw for wide-eyed kids.Sometimes I feel like I walk into book scenes,sharing characters' happiness and sadness.
My friend Natalie once told me to read the book The Journey.I'm so glad I followed her advice and read it.It has become my favorite book.I couldn't put it down from the moment I opened the first page.I like it because the main character Lucy and her warm story give me a lot of courage.They make me stronger when I meet hard things in life.
The story is about Lucy.She moves to a quiet new town far away with her parents.She tries hard to get used to this new place.At first,it's really hard for her to make friends.She is shy and new here.She doesn't know how to talk to others.I can understand Lucy's feelings.I also moved to a new town last year.I felt lonely and confused(困惑的),too.
What moves me most is that Lucy never gives up.She joins the school painting club bravely,shows her talent there,and finally makes a lot of new friends.The book tells us about Lucy's true feelings and the small problems she meets,and it writes these things very clearly.That makes the story so real and easy to understand,like I'm right there with her,experiencing all those moments together.

I want to say "thank you" to my English teacher Miss Li.
She is slim and she wears glasses. She is kind and friendly. I was weak in my English at that time. She talked with me about how to learn English well and told me the importance of learning English. After class she often helped with my English and answered my questions patiently. When I failed in an exam,she encouraged me and cheered me up. With her help,I made great progress.
Now I can learn English well and I feel lucky to have such an excellent teacher. I will never forget her.
