Bruce, the interviewer, was politely empathetic(同情的), and he didn't ask me about it any further. He __15__ my loss with great respect and moved on to another subject.

A Beautiful Moment
When I was in high school, I worked part?time helping Dad sell fruits and vegetables at a market. One day, as I was preparing the fruits, a little boy came by with his mum and sister. He was about eight years old, and the girl, five or six. They were looking at the fruits in front of me. I heard the kids say to their mum (in French), “They're good!” I knew it was French, because I can speak and understand it.
Then I noticed how the mum was picking the fruits. At first, I thought she was really looking at the fruits because she was facing them, but then I noticed how much she had to feel and smell each one as she picked them out. And she often asked her son if it looked okay, but looked way above where his face was. Putting what I saw together, I was sure she was blind.
Both of the kids continued to help their mum pick out the fruits. The son made sure the fruits were not obviously bad, and the daughter handed them to her mum. The woman then felt each one and smiled, and the daughter would put them into their basket. The kids were smiling while helping their mum pick the fruits out.
Their smile and gentle manner moved me in a way that never happened before. It was so beautiful to see such young kids so willingly help. Most kids that age would be picking out candies or toys in a store for themselves, instead of helping their mum pick out fruits as the two kids did.
It was great to witness the moment, but not so great because I didn't tell the mum how beautiful her children were in their language. This is what I regret to this day.
( )24.The woman and her kids came to the market to buy ________.
A.fruits B.vegetables
C.candies D.toys
( )25.According to what he saw, the writer was sure the mother couldn't ________.
A.speak B.see
C.smell D.hear
( )26.The writer was moved because ________.
A.the mother was brave to face her problems
B.the kids were polite and kind to each other
C.the mother was careful in picking out things
D.the kids were so willing to help their mother
C
What might the future be like? Here are some predictions: things to come, things to go.
The Spring Festival, the most important Chinese holiday when everyone returns home, has caused headaches for millions of Chinese. More than 2 billion people travel at the same time, making getting travel tickets and the journey difficult. But in the near future, the Spring Festival travel may not be a problem at all. China plans to build more than 120,000 kilometres of railways and a fast transportation network that will serve 90% of the population. And because most of China will be cities, people will not have to go to other places to find a job, so it will no longer be a problem.
Newspapers may come to an end. There will be fewer and fewer people reading news on papers and the cost of making and buying newspapers will be reduced. In the future, digital(数字的) newspapers will be sent to personal web tools through the Internet. Readers can discuss topics with journalists and editors. Information will move faster.
Oil is running out faster than expected. But scientists have found something else to replace(代替) oil as fuel(燃料). Natural gas, solar power, nuclear power and even water can take the place of oil as sources of energy(能源). And the_alternative_ways of energy will help reduce the cost and pollution, too.
Schools will go electronic(电子化). Computers will be important and popular among the students. Everything will be on the computer and students will not need to bring books to school. They will find information on the Internet. A computer will be the students' library, schoolbag and connection to the outside world. There will be robot teachers; they will check homework on computers and communicate with the students' parents through email. And school buses will be like spaceships, comfortable and safe.
( )27.The underlined words “the alternative ways” in the 4th paragraph mean ________.
A.modern ideas B.other choices
C.wise methods D.natural means
( )28.From the passage we can know ________ in the future.
A.the Spring Festival travel may still be a problem
B.90 percent of the population will live in the city
C.robot teachers will check homework on computers
D.readers can't discuss topics with journalists or editors through the Internet
( )29.The passage mainly tells us ________.
A.future changes in many ways
B.computers will be important
C.new things will be coming
D.old things will be gone
D 2018·北京四中期中
Imagine having an app(应用程序) that works like this: When you need help, just open the app, touch the “notOK” button and a text message will be sent to five pre?selected(预先选定的) people, along with a location(位置) to show where you are. The message reads, “Hey, I'm not OK. Please call me, text me, or come to find me.”
US teenagers Hannah Lucas, 15, and her brother Charlie, 13, have created an app called “notOK”. People just need to pay $1.99 each month to use it.
Hannah was inspired(启发) to create the app during a dark time in her life last year. She suffered from a disease that caused her to pass out at school. Other kids sometimes bullied(欺凌) her about this. She felt sad and wanted to find an app that would allow her to get help when she wasn't feeling OK.
She asked her brother Charlie, whose nickname is “Tech Support”, to find such an app. When they couldn't find one, they decided to create one themselves.
They came up with some designs for the app first. Charlie took a programming class last summer and built a website for the app. Hannah also shared her idea in her summer business class. Some app developers showed interest and decided to help her. At last, the app came out in the US and Canada on January 31.
Hannah is happy that her app is helping others. “It makes everything I went through last year worth it,” she said.
( )30.Who will know you're in trouble when you touch the “notOK” button?
A.Five pre?selected people. B.Five family members.
C.Five app developers. D.Five close friends.
( )31.The main purpose of inventing the app is to allow people ________.
A.to build a website B.to take classes
C.to earn money D.to ask for help
( )32.Which of the following is NOT true about the app “notOK”?
A.Hannah Lucas and her brother created this app.
B.Users can call for help by using a button in the app.
C.It can only send a message to one person.
D.Users can send their location through this app.
( )33.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A.Charlie and Hannah created this app on their own.
B.Charlie took programming classes for many years.
C.Charlie and Hannah earned a lot of money from this app.
D.Charlie and Hannah are happy to see their app help others.
Ⅳ.阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题(共10分,每小题2分)
It's not useful to you if you can't remember what you read or study. You just waste your time.
If you want to remember what you read or study well, you must have a special purpose or reason for reading. When you know why you're reading, you can remember better.
Think why a salesgirl in a store goes away when your answer to her offer is “No, thank you. I'm just looking around.” It's because both you and she know that you aren't sure what you want. But if you say, “Yes, thank you. I want a pair of sunglasses.” instead, she will say, “Right this way, please.” And she will be very glad to lead you to what you want.
It's quite the same as your studying or reading. If you choose a book and you only think, “just look” but without any purpose, you are likely to get nothing. But if you know what you want, you are almost sure to get something from it when you read or study. A good reader has a clear purpose or reason for what he is doing. He can connect the information with his goal and remember it better.
Reading is not one single activity, either. At least two important processes(过程) go on at the same time.
As you read, you take in ideas quickly and correctly. But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself when you read. You have a kind of mental conversation with the writer. If you express your ideas, they may sound like this: “Yes, I agree. That's my opinion too.” or “Oh, I thought that record was broken much earlier. I'd better check those dates.” or “But there are some other facts to consider!” You don't just sit there taking in ideas; you really do something else, and that something else is very important.
Another process of thinking what you read includes judging it, connecting it with what you have already known, and using it for your own goals. In other words, a good reader is a critical(批评的) reader. When you read, you can tell between facts and opinions. Another part of critical reading is you can judge sources(出处). Still another part is drawing right conclusions(结论).

Ⅴ.题目①
One possible version:
These days many schools have launched online classes as the opening of the spring semester is further put off because of the Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia. However, opinions on online classes are different.
Some welcome the change in teaching methods. Their reason is that it can release teachers from repeating the same contents and students can replay the teaching materials as well. Others have just the opposite opinion. They think that online education lacks teacher?student interactions and they doubt if students have self?discipline without supervision.
As far as I'm concerned, traditional classes can't be replaced by online ones because what students acquire at school is more than knowledge. But when it comes to the special situation at the moment, online classes are a better choice.
题目②
One possible version:
Hi! Drew,
I think you guys did a great thing to make a garden for your school.
My best friend and I also did something meaningful. We set up a reading corner for our class. Most of my classmates like reading. In order to make it more convenient for our classmates to read, my best friend and I decided to bring all of our interesting books to school and share them in our class. We also bought a bookshelf to collect the books.Later, more and more students began to join us and we've got about 500 books now.
We feel proud when we see our classmates enjoying reading books there. Reading makes our school life more wonderful.
Yours,
Li Hua
