Last year, 13-year-old Abraham Olagbegi found out he was born with a very serious blood disease and needed a bone marrow transplant（骨髓移植）, About a year later, he found out better news: His transplant was successful, and he got a chance to make a wish, which was given by an organization named Make-A-Wish that offers wishes to children with serious illnesses.

You could do a lot. . . You sure you don't want a PlayStation?'”
Unlike many teenage boys, the PlayStation did not entice Abraham. He was sure of his wish to feed the homeless.
Abraham's dad thought it was a wonderful idea, too, Miriam said. “So, of course, we weren't going to miss an opportunity like that because we always tried to instill （灌输）giving into our children. ”
In September, Make-A-Wish helped Abraham organize a day to hand out free food in Jackson, Mississippi, with food and supplies donated from local businesses. Abraham said they ended up feeding about 80 people that day.
"And it just really feels good, it warms our hearts. And my parents always taught us that it's rewarding to do acts of kindness, " he said.
Abraham's wish is still not fulfilled. Make-A-Wish will help Abraham feed the homeless every month for a year. The organization says every third Saturday of each month, the local church will find supporters to help supply the food they need to feed up to 80 homeless people.
“We're just very excited to be able to continue on this effort. It's just so rewarding, "his mom said. “We just try to pay it forward, by doing what we were raised to do. ”

Science experiments don't always go as planned, but that doesn't mean you can't learn from them. Recently, Australian scientists learned something unexpected about magpies（喜鹊）when they tried to attach trackers（跟踪器）to them to learn more about their habits.
The birds the scientists hoped to study were Australian magpies. The researchers were eager to try a new tracker on them. They hoped to learn more about how far the birds flew and what they did during a normal day. The scientists are concerned that magpies may have a hard time adjusting as the world warms up because of climate change.
To keep the trackers on the birds without causing flying problems, the researchers developed a special harness（系带）. It was tough, so it wouldn’t come off by accident. But it had a special release controlled by magnets. This was meant to allow the scientists to free the birds from the harnesses at a special magnetic bird feeder, without having to catch the birds again.
There was just one problem-the birds didn't like the trackers. The researchers placed trackers on five magpies using their special harnesses. But just ten minutes after setting up the last magpie, they noticed something unusual: an adult female magpie was helping another magpie get free from its harness.
In a few hours, most of the other magpies had also been freed from their harnesses. By the third day, none of the birds had trackers anymore. “The birds are smarter than us, ” said Dominique Potvin, one of the scientists.
The scientists were disappointed about the trackers, but they realized that the magpies had taught them something else: that magpies are able and willing to help each other out, even if the bird who is helping doesn't get a reward.
This is called "rescue behavior", and it's not that common in the animal world, especially among birds. The researchers are glad they've learned about the rescue behavior of magpies. But now they need to try again to figure out a good way to track these clever birds.
28. What did the researchers want to know by trying the new trackers?
A. The magpies' daily activities.
B. The magpies' natural habitat.
C. How magpies got used to hot weather,
D. How climate change influenced magpies.
29. Why was a special magnetic bird feeder used?
A. To track the magpies.
B. To catch the magpies.
C. To put on the harnesses.
D. To remove the harnesses. 30. How did the scientists react to the magpies' performance?
A. They had their doubts.
B. They showed their admiration.
C. They felt disappointed.
D. They expressed their concern.
31. What lesson did the scientists learn fromthe magpies?
A. Try to be our personal best.
B. Build a large circle of friends.
C. Lend a hand to those in need.
D. Solve problems in a creative way.
D
As workers return to the office, friends meet up and religious services move from online to in person, people are wondering whether they should shake hands or not.
When the COVID-19 pandemic first began, an event planning business in Kansas City began selling “I Shake Hands＂stickers（标签）. The words were meant to make social situations easier.
“We didn’t want the sticker to say ‘We Don’t Shake Hands’ because that is kind of off-putting （令 人气恼的）, ”said John DeLeon, vice president of operations. DeLeon added that those who did not want to shake hands with others could simply choose not to wear a sticker.
The handshake has been around for centuries. A widely held belief is that it started as a way to show that a person was offering peace and not holding a hidden weapon. But hands have germs（细菌）.
Dr. Anthony Fauci is America's leading infectious disease expert. Last year, he warned, “I don't think we should ever shake hands again, to be honest with you. ”
Dr. Amesh Adalja, another infectious disease expert, does not agree. He thinks people are overthinking the question of whether to shake hands or not. The answer, he says, is simple.
“If you are worried about COVID-19, the best way to make handshakes safe is to be fully vaccinated （接种疫苗）, ”Dr. Adalja said.
Diane Gottsman is a national etiquette expert. Etiquette means the rules that make up the correct way to behave in society. Gottsman does not think the handshake will go away because of the pandemic. But she said people should take things slowly. “Don't be the first to extend your hand, even if you are comfortable, "Gottsman said.
Business Law Southwest advises businesses in New Mexico, Arizona and Texas. At the beginning of the pandemic, it offered to help create new workplace rules-such as a no-handshake policy. But there was not enough interest, said Kristy Donahue, a company spokeswoman. “At the end of the day, ” Donahue said, "people long for human interaction and human touch. ”
32. What did John DeLeon think of “We Don't Shake Hands" sticker?
A. It's funny.
B. It's important.
C. It's acceptable.
D. It's unnecessary.
33. Who was against the practice of shaking hands?
A. John DeLeon.
B. Anthony Fauci.
C. Amesh Adalja.
D. Diane Gottsman.
34. What do we learn about no-handshake policy?
A. It was widely adopted.
B. It was not well received.
C. It was supported by Kristy Donahue.
D. It was put forward by Diane Gottsman.
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Shaking Hands-A Thing of the Past.
B. Shaking Hands-Old Habits Die Hard.
C. To Shake Hands or Not to Shake Hands? D. Why Is It Difficult to Give up Hlandshaking?

If you lack confidence as an English speaker, you may tell yourself things like, “__38__"When you talk to other people, you may say things like, "I'm so sorry for my English. "But if you keep thinking and saying such things, you are sure to start believing them.
So the next time you are using your English, pay attention to what you tell yourself or others. Be sure to replace unhelpful thoughts or ideas with better ones.
Don't worry too much
One of the biggest barriers to confidence in speaking a second language is the constant worry about making mistakes.
Understand that making mistakes is a natural part of the language learning process. Yes, you will make mistakes. __39__ And many English learners communicate very well, even with mistakes. Mistakes can be a good thing. The more mistakes you make, the more progress you will make.
Set realistic goals
If your English-speaking skills are at the beginner or intermediate level and you try to do something too difficult, you may fail. __40__ But, if you do something that matches your level, you are more likely to do it well. A. That is a great question.
B. This can harm your confidence.
C. It is your thoughts that really matter.
D. Speak louder and slow down your speech.
E. English is too hard and I will never improve.
F. It is important to practise speaking English every day.

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。
The concept of comfort zone（舒适区）refers to a psychological state in which we feel safe and do not experience anxiety or fear. It is a "space" that we know completely and in which we control almost everything.
Your comfort zone represents things you're familiar with, your regular haunts, friends you're at ease with, and activities you love doing. Your comfort zone's risk free. It's easy. It doesn't cause you to stretch. Within these boundaries we feel safe and secure.
During my senior year in college I was short a few credits, and so I skimmed through the class schedule looking for something to fill the hours. When I came across “Private Voice Instruction" as in singing lessons, I thought, "Why not step outside my comfort zone and give it a try?”
I was careful to sign up for private lessons instead of group lessons because I didn't want to make a fool of myself by singing in front of other students.
Things went fine until the end of the semester when my singing professor brought the shocking news. "By the way, Sean, have you decided which song you want to sing at the recital?” “What do you mean?” I asked in horror.
"Well, the class requirements state that you have to sing at least one time in front of the other private voice students. ”
"That would not be a good idea, "I said emphatically.
“Oh, it's no big deal. You'll do fine. ”
Well, to me it was a huge deal. The thought of singing in front of a group made me physically sick. “How am I going to get out of this one?" I thought. But I couldn't allow myself to do that because I had been speaking to various groups over the past year advising them to never let fears make their decisions.
"Courage, Sean. ” I kept saying in my mind. “You've got to at least try. "
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
That frightening day finally arrived.

49. B 根据下文可知，作者告诉母亲的一番话是很有意义的，也自然是“重要的”。故B项正确。
50. C 结合上文可知，这里作者是在借陶瓷玫瑰来说事——一切都可能“被打碎”，但唯有爱不会。故C项正确。
51. B 根据文章结尾的“the realization that only love lasts forever”可知，这里应该选择B项。
52. D 听了这番话，母亲“紧紧地”拥抱了作者。故D项正确。
53. A 根据下文“understood some things that even much older people didn’t”可知，母亲认为作者非常“聪明/明智”。故A项正确。
54. B 根据语境可知，前后两句存在转折关系，故这里要用Even though引导一个让步状语从句。
55. C 母亲认为，玫瑰小小的瑕疵让她想起更重要的人生哲理。remind sb. of sth.表示“让某人想起某事”。故C项正确。

One possible version:
Reading Is Rewarding
There is much wisdom in the saying “Reading is rewarding” because reading can benefit us in many ways.
To begin with, reading is the most important means through which we acquire knowledge. In an age of knowledge economy, everyone must equip themselves with knowledge. Meanwhile, reading does good to our mental health. As the saying goes, “Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. What’s more, reading enriches our lives and helps us to relax ourselves.
Needless to say, World Book Day can raise people’s awareness of valuing knowledge and loving reading. Of course, it also serves as a meaningful reminder that we must read each and every day.
第二节（满分25分）
One possible version:
That frightening day finally arrived. As I entered the classroom, I kept trying to convince myself, “Just cheer up, OK? This can't be that bad.” Now it was my turn. As I stood in front of the class, which was far away from my comfort zone, I kept repeating to myself, “Courage! Relax! Take it easy! Just perform your best!” It turned out that I did such a great job that all the students applauded my performance warmly.
I left the classroom as if a heavy load had been lifted. Although that experience nearly killed me, I felt a great sense of personal accomplishment on my way home. I was so proud of myself and I frankly didn't care what anyone else thought about my performance. What really mattered was that I had survived. Stepping out of your comfort zone will never be easy, but afterward you'll always be glad you did it.

A new survey shows that Chinese parents are anxious about their children's education. The survey was conducted by China's online education platform SmartStudy.com. It was based on answers from 3,205 parents from Aug. 1 to 15 through online questionnaires. The top three factors causing anxiety in parents are school performance, campus safety and mobile phone addiction. According to the survey, 68 percent of parents felt “very anxious” and “anxious” about their children's education, while only 6 percent were “not anxious” . They are anxious most when their children are in kindergarten and primary school. More than 44 percent of parents believe learning beyond textbooks is very necessary, and 67 percent agree that taking training classes after school is better for a child's learning path. The survey also found that 70 percent of parents worry about campus safety. About 83 percent of Chinese parents are worried that their children will become addicted to mobile phones. “The main reason for parents' anxiety is that they are not strong enough to deal with pressure and easily lose control of their emotions. Also, anxious parents seldom encourage children, which will make children lose their self-confidence,” said psychologist Zhang Yijun.

Last year, 13-year-old Abraham Olagbegi found out he was born with a very serious blood disease and needed a bone marrow transplant（骨髓移植）, About a year later, he found out better news: His transplant was successful, and he got a chance to make a wish, which was given by an organization named Make-A-Wish that offers wishes to children with serious illnesses.
Abraham wanted a long-lasting wish, and he had an idea that he shared with his mom. “'Mom, I thought about it, and I really want to feed the homeless,” Abraham said. “Abraham's mom, Miriam Olagbegi, told CBS News, "I said, 'Are you sure Abraham? You could do a lot. . . You sure you don't want a PlayStation?'”
Unlike many teenage boys, the PlayStation did not entice Abraham. He was sure of his wish to feed the homeless.
Abraham's dad thought it was a wonderful idea, too, Miriam said. “So, of course, we weren't going to miss an opportunity like that because we always tried to instill （灌输）giving into our children. ”
In September, Make-A-Wish helped Abraham organize a day to hand out free food in Jackson, Mississippi, with food and supplies donated from local businesses. Abraham said they ended up feeding about 80 people that day.
"And it just really feels good, it warms our hearts. And my parents always taught us that it's rewarding to do acts of kindness, " he said.
Abraham's wish is still not fulfilled. Make-A-Wish will help Abraham feed the homeless every month for a year. The organization says every third Saturday of each month, the local church will find supporters to help supply the food they need to feed up to 80 homeless people.
“We're just very excited to be able to continue on this effort. It's just so rewarding, "his mom said. “We just try to pay it forward, by doing what we were raised to do. ”

Science experiments don't always go as planned, but that doesn't mean you can't learn from them. Recently, Australian scientists learned something unexpected about magpies（喜鹊）when they tried to attach trackers（跟踪器）to them to learn more about their habits.
The birds the scientists hoped to study were Australian magpies. The researchers were eager to try a new tracker on them. They hoped to learn more about how far the birds flew and what they did during a normal day. The scientists are concerned that magpies may have a hard time adjusting as the world warms up because of climate change.
To keep the trackers on the birds without causing flying problems, the researchers developed a special harness（系带）. It was tough, so it wouldn’t come off by accident. But it had a special release controlled by magnets. This was meant to allow the scientists to free the birds from the harnesses at a special magnetic bird feeder, without having to catch the birds again.
There was just one problem-the birds didn't like the trackers. The researchers placed trackers on five magpies using their special harnesses. But just ten minutes after setting up the last magpie, they noticed something unusual: an adult female magpie was helping another magpie get free from its harness.
In a few hours, most of the other magpies had also been freed from their harnesses. By the third day, none of the birds had trackers anymore. “The birds are smarter than us, ” said Dominique Potvin, one of the scientists.
The scientists were disappointed about the trackers, but they realized that the magpies had taught them something else: that magpies are able and willing to help each other out, even if the bird who is helping doesn't get a reward.
This is called "rescue behavior", and it's not that common in the animal world, especially among birds. The researchers are glad they've learned about the rescue behavior of magpies. But now they need to try again to figure out a good way to track these clever birds.
28. What did the researchers want to know by trying the new trackers?
A. The magpies' daily activities.
B. The magpies' natural habitat.
C. How magpies got used to hot weather,
D. How climate change influenced magpies.
29. Why was a special magnetic bird feeder used?
A. To track the magpies.
B. To catch the magpies.
C. To put on the harnesses.
D. To remove the harnesses. 30. How did the scientists react to the magpies' performance?
A. They had their doubts.
B. They showed their admiration.
C. They felt disappointed.
D. They expressed their concern.
31. What lesson did the scientists learn fromthe magpies?
A. Try to be our personal best.
B. Build a large circle of friends.
C. Lend a hand to those in need.
D. Solve problems in a creative way.
D
As workers return to the office, friends meet up and religious services move from online to in person, people are wondering whether they should shake hands or not.
When the COVID-19 pandemic first began, an event planning business in Kansas City began selling “I Shake Hands＂stickers（标签）. The words were meant to make social situations easier.
“We didn’t want the sticker to say ‘We Don’t Shake Hands’ because that is kind of off-putting （令 人气恼的）, ”said John DeLeon, vice president of operations. DeLeon added that those who did not want to shake hands with others could simply choose not to wear a sticker.
The handshake has been around for centuries. A widely held belief is that it started as a way to show that a person was offering peace and not holding a hidden weapon. But hands have germs（细菌）.
Dr. Anthony Fauci is America's leading infectious disease expert. Last year, he warned, “I don't think we should ever shake hands again, to be honest with you. ”
Dr. Amesh Adalja, another infectious disease expert, does not agree. He thinks people are overthinking the question of whether to shake hands or not. The answer, he says, is simple.
“If you are worried about COVID-19, the best way to make handshakes safe is to be fully vaccinated （接种疫苗）, ”Dr. Adalja said.
Diane Gottsman is a national etiquette expert. Etiquette means the rules that make up the correct way to behave in society. Gottsman does not think the handshake will go away because of the pandemic. But she said people should take things slowly. “Don't be the first to extend your hand, even if you are comfortable, "Gottsman said.
Business Law Southwest advises businesses in New Mexico, Arizona and Texas. At the beginning of the pandemic, it offered to help create new workplace rules-such as a no-handshake policy. But there was not enough interest, said Kristy Donahue, a company spokeswoman. “At the end of the day, ” Donahue said, "people long for human interaction and human touch. ”
32. What did John DeLeon think of “We Don't Shake Hands" sticker?
A. It's funny.
B. It's important.
C. It's acceptable.
D. It's unnecessary.
33. Who was against the practice of shaking hands?
A. John DeLeon.
B. Anthony Fauci.
C. Amesh Adalja.
D. Diane Gottsman.
34. What do we learn about no-handshake policy?
A. It was widely adopted.
B. It was not well received.
C. It was supported by Kristy Donahue.
D. It was put forward by Diane Gottsman.
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Shaking Hands-A Thing of the Past.
B. Shaking Hands-Old Habits Die Hard.
C. To Shake Hands or Not to Shake Hands? D. Why Is It Difficult to Give up Hlandshaking?

If you lack confidence as an English speaker, you may tell yourself things like, “__38__"When you talk to other people, you may say things like, "I'm so sorry for my English. "But if you keep thinking and saying such things, you are sure to start believing them.
So the next time you are using your English, pay attention to what you tell yourself or others. Be sure to replace unhelpful thoughts or ideas with better ones.
Don't worry too much
One of the biggest barriers to confidence in speaking a second language is the constant worry about making mistakes.
Understand that making mistakes is a natural part of the language learning process. Yes, you will make mistakes. __39__ And many English learners communicate very well, even with mistakes. Mistakes can be a good thing. The more mistakes you make, the more progress you will make.
Set realistic goals
If your English-speaking skills are at the beginner or intermediate level and you try to do something too difficult, you may fail. __40__ But, if you do something that matches your level, you are more likely to do it well. A. That is a great question.
B. This can harm your confidence.
C. It is your thoughts that really matter.
D. Speak louder and slow down your speech.
E. English is too hard and I will never improve.
F. It is important to practise speaking English every day.

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。
The concept of comfort zone（舒适区）refers to a psychological state in which we feel safe and do not experience anxiety or fear. It is a "space" that we know completely and in which we control almost everything.
Your comfort zone represents things you're familiar with, your regular haunts, friends you're at ease with, and activities you love doing. Your comfort zone's risk free. It's easy. It doesn't cause you to stretch. Within these boundaries we feel safe and secure.
During my senior year in college I was short a few credits, and so I skimmed through the class schedule looking for something to fill the hours. When I came across “Private Voice Instruction" as in singing lessons, I thought, "Why not step outside my comfort zone and give it a try?”
I was careful to sign up for private lessons instead of group lessons because I didn't want to make a fool of myself by singing in front of other students.
Things went fine until the end of the semester when my singing professor brought the shocking news. "By the way, Sean, have you decided which song you want to sing at the recital?” “What do you mean?” I asked in horror.
"Well, the class requirements state that you have to sing at least one time in front of the other private voice students. ”
"That would not be a good idea, "I said emphatically.
“Oh, it's no big deal. You'll do fine. ”
Well, to me it was a huge deal. The thought of singing in front of a group made me physically sick. “How am I going to get out of this one?" I thought. But I couldn't allow myself to do that because I had been speaking to various groups over the past year advising them to never let fears make their decisions.
"Courage, Sean. ” I kept saying in my mind. “You've got to at least try. "
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右;

One possible version:
Reading Is Rewarding
There is much wisdom in the saying “Reading is rewarding” because reading can benefit us in many ways.
To begin with, reading is the most important means through which we acquire knowledge. In an age of knowledge economy, everyone must equip themselves with knowledge. Meanwhile, reading does good to our mental health. As the saying goes, “Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. What’s more, reading enriches our lives and helps us to relax ourselves.
Needless to say, World Book Day can raise people’s awareness of valuing knowledge and loving reading. Of course, it also serves as a meaningful reminder that we must read each and every day.
第二节（满分25分）
One possible version:
That frightening day finally arrived. As I entered the classroom, I kept trying to convince myself, “Just cheer up, OK? This can't be that bad.” Now it was my turn. As I stood in front of the class, which was far away from my comfort zone, I kept repeating to myself, “Courage! Relax! Take it easy! Just perform your best!” It turned out that I did such a great job that all the students applauded my performance warmly.
I left the classroom as if a heavy load had been lifted. Although that experience nearly killed me, I felt a great sense of personal accomplishment on my way home. I was so proud of myself and I frankly didn't care what anyone else thought about my performance. What really mattered was that I had survived. Stepping out of your comfort zone will never be easy, but afterward you'll always be glad you did it.

A new survey shows that Chinese parents are anxious about their children's education. The survey was conducted by China's online education platform SmartStudy.com. It was based on answers from 3,205 parents from Aug. 1 to 15 through online questionnaires. The top three factors causing anxiety in parents are school performance, campus safety and mobile phone addiction. According to the survey, 68 percent of parents felt “very anxious” and “anxious” about their children's education, while only 6 percent were “not anxious” . They are anxious most when their children are in kindergarten and primary school. More than 44 percent of parents believe learning beyond textbooks is very necessary, and 67 percent agree that taking training classes after school is better for a child's learning path. The survey also found that 70 percent of parents worry about campus safety. About 83 percent of Chinese parents are worried that their children will become addicted to mobile phones. “The main reason for parents' anxiety is that they are not strong enough to deal with pressure and easily lose control of their emotions. Also, anxious parents seldom encourage children, which will make children lose their self-confidence,” said psychologist Zhang Yijun.
