There is a story about a man who lost his legs and left arm in an accident. After the accident, only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.
He was a brilliant, creative, and educated man. He had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident. He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. Then, he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult. An idea occurred to him. “Why not write to other people who need encouragement？”
He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied, “Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered.”
Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters. He began sending one­way messages of God's love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.
It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply. One day he received a letter from the prison ministry. It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.
The letter said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces！”
No matter what circumstances life may present, we all have unique experiences, abilities, and God­given talents. We can discover ways to reach others who desperately need messages of encouragement and strength.
24．According to the prison minister, ________.
A．the man was not allowed to write to the prisoners
B．the man couldn't go to see the prisoners himself
C．he was not sure if the prisoners liked receiving the letters
D．the prisoners were not allowed to answer the letters
25．In order to live in a meaningful way, the man began to ________.
A．receive the school education
B．meet the people who are depressed
C．write to other people who need encouragement
D．help other people with lost arms and legs
26．What can be the best title for the passage?
A．Special Letters of Encouragement B．Popularity of Special Letters
C．Stories about a Humorous Person D．Life in the Prison
27．From the officer's short note we are told that ________.
A．the man would be offered free paper to write letters on
B．his letters were very popular among the prisoners
C．the prisoners eagerly wanted to write back to the man
D．some of the prisoners were not satisfied with his letters
【语篇解读】　这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位聪明的男人， 在交通事故中失去双腿和左臂后， 凭借自己的能力和才华， 给监狱里的犯人写充满爱、希望和鼓励的信，让自己的生活充满意义。
24．答案与解析：D　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的The prison minister replied, “Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered.” 可知， 监狱长告诉故事主人公， 写信可以， 但是不会收到回信。
25．答案与解析：C　细节理解题。由第二段中的An idea occurred to him. “Why not write to other people who need encouragement？” 以及第四段中的 He began sending one­way messages of God's love, hope, strength, and encouragement. 可知， 故事主人公想出了给需要鼓励的人写信的主意， 并且在与监狱长确认后， 他开始写信。也就是说为了生活得更有意义， 故事主人公开始给需要鼓励的人写信。
26．答案与解析：A　主旨大意题。这是一篇记叙文， 文章中心体现在最后一段： 无论我们身处什么环境， 我们总有自己的长处， 并能找到方法去帮助那些需要鼓励和力量的人。选项A中的“Special Letters”体现了故事主人公的处境， “Encouragement”体现了故事主人公内心的力量。
27．答案与解析：B　推理判断题。由第六段中的Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces! 可知， 故事主人公的信被从一个囚室传到另一个囚室， 直
到碎成纸屑。可以推出故事主人公的信在犯人之间很受欢迎。
C
Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile . But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896.That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile. Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker, instead of making the worker move to the parts. That is not true, either. Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better. And he made the whole factory a moving production line.
In the early days of the automobile, almost every car maker raced his cars. It was the best way of gaining public notice. Henry Ford decided to build a racing car. Ford's most famous race was his first one. It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.
The race was in 1901, at a field near Detroit. All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left: the Winton's and Ford's. The Winton was famous for its speed. Most people thought the race was over before it began.
The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began to lose power. Ford started to gain. And near the end of the race, he took the lead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name appeared in newspapers and he became well­known all over the United States. Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company. In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company.That_sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream. Ford said, “I will build a motor car for the great mass of people. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will be built of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed. And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce. It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.”
The Model T was a car of that kind. It only cost $850.It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on. Doctors bought the Model T. So did farmers. Even criminals. They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation. Americans loved the Model T. They wrote stories and songs about it. Thousands of Model T were built in the first few years.
28．What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1?
A．He made good use of ideas from others.
B．He produced the first car in the world.
C．He knew how to improve auto parts.
D．He invented the production line.
29．Why did Henry Ford take part in the 1901 car race?
A．To show off his driving skills.
B．To draw public attention.
C．To learn about new technology.
D．To raise money for his new company.
30．“That sale” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.
A．the selling of Ford cars at reduced prices
B．the sale of Model T to the mass of people
C．the selling of a car to a Detroit doctor
D．the sales target for the Ford Company
31．What was Henry Ford's dream according to the text?
A．Producing cars for average customers.
B．Building racing cars of simple design.
C．Designing more car models.
D．Starting more companies.
【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。讲述了亨利·福特充分利用别人的想法， 生产出了自己的汽车， 形成了自己的生产流水线。通过赛车比赛使公众关注到自己的汽车， 然后他建立了汽车公司， 为普通顾客生产汽车。
28．A　细节理解题。根据短文第一段倒数第二句话 “What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better.”可知， 福特所做的就是利用别人的想法， 然后更好地利用。
29．B　推理判断题。根据短文第二段中的 “It was the best way of gaining public notice.”及全段可知， 开始时， 每个汽车制造者都开赛车， 并且这是引人注意的最好方法。因此亨利·福特也制造自己的赛车， 进行比赛， 目的是引人注意。
30．C　词义猜测题。由上一句“In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company.”可知， That sale指代的是医生买车这件事。
31．A　推理判断题。由短文倒数第二段中的 “It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.”及最后一段中的 “The Model T was a car of that kind. It only cost $850.It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on. Doctors bought the Model T. So did farmers.”可知，福特造的车价格低， 能挣钱的人都能买得起他的车， 医生， 农民甚至罪犯都买他的车。由此可知他的梦想就是为普通老百姓造车。

D
Thirty years ago, Switzerland-based artist Klaus Littmann came across a great drawing, titled The Unending Attraction of Nature. The drawing, by Austrian artist and architect Max Peintner, displays a scene in which nature is so detached(分离) from the environment that it becomes just a small piece, preserved for amusement. Given that we are now losing 18.7 million acres of forests each year, Peintner’s drawing was prescient, to say the least.
“When I first saw the 1970/71 pencil drawing, I was fascinated. I knew that one day this work would be the starting point for a major art project in public space,” says Littmann.
Now, decades later, Littmann has achieved the vision with the installation(移植) of FOR FOREST: The Unending Attraction of Nature. The installation sets a native central European forest in the middle of Wörthersee Football Stadium in Klagenfurt. With nearly 300 trees planted, some weighing up to six tons each, it is Austria’s largest public art installation.
In the face of climate crisis and deforestation(毁林), FOR FOREST comes with a more pressing urgency. As explained in a statement about the installation: “In support of today’s most pressing issues on climate change and deforestation, FOR FOREST aims to challenge our understanding of nature and question its future. It seeks to become a memorial(纪念物), reminding us that nature, which we so often take for granted, may someday only be found in special spaces, as is already the case with animals in zoos.”
The actual creation of the manmade forest was managed by landscape architect Enzo Enea and his company, Enea Landscape Architecture. It includes many kinds of trees. Having opened on September 8, one can imagine it already attracting surprised and happy creatures to the field. Regretfully, the installation will be closed soon. In a short video about the work, Littman says his goal was never to make something that would last forever; rather, he says, “My goal is for this picture to remain in people’s head for a lifetime.”
32. What does the underlined word “prescient” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Able to affect the future.
B. Able to last long enough.
C. Able to draw much attention.
D. Able to know what will happen.
33. Why is the drawing The Unending Attraction of Nature described?
A. To show it is one of Littmann’s masterpieces.
B. To emphasis it left a deep impression on Littmann.
C. To indicate it’s the source of Littmann’s inspiration.
D. To present it is an example of the nature-themed art.
34. What is the significance of the installation?
A. It seeks to become a memorial.
B. It is friendly to the environment.
C. It is Austria’s largest artistic work.
D. It warns people of environmental issues.
35. What can we know about the manmade forest according to the last paragraph?
A. It was made and managed by Littman.
B. It won’t last for a long time.
C. It didn’t attract much interest.
D. It includes some special animals.
32-35 DCDB
【解析】
32.词义猜测题。根据第一段的“...displays a scene in which nature is so detached from the environment that it becomes just a small piece, preserved for amusement”可知，这幅画描绘了一幅自然与环境分离的景象，大自然只留下了供人们参观娱乐的这么一小块；再结合后面的“Given that we are now losing 18.7 million acres of forests each year”可知，在如今每年如此巨大的森林流失量的背景下，这幅画所描绘的景象可能就是对未来的预测。由此可判断此处意为：这幅画至少可以说是有先见之明的。故选D。
33.推理判断题。根据第二段和第三段第一句可判断，文章介绍The Unending Attraction of Nature这幅画是因为它给了Littmann创作的灵感与启发。故选C。
34.推理判断题。根据第四段“In support of today’s most pressing issues on climate change and deforestation...in zoos.”可知，其意义在于警示人们关注环境问题。故选D。
35.细节理解题。文章最后一段提到“Regretfully, the installation will close soon”可知这个移植马上就要关闭了，故选B。

Why is volunteering important?
When it comes to service work, it's important to realize that the actual goal should be getting the most out of your volunteering work. __36__
● Gaining new social experience
Volunteering allows students to get involved with new things and develop social and academic skills that couldn't be learned in a classroom environment.__37__
● Giving back and helping others
Volunteers create better environments for others; they create healthier communities and they brighten lives. Jill, a senior student, has been a volunteer in her community for more than three years. __38__“They always tell me how great we sound and how they wish they had taken time to learn an instrument in their youth.”
● Creating connections with people
__39__ Not only does the volunteer work you do show who you are as a person, but it reflects many positive qualities that possibly employers and admission officers want to see. Volunteering allows you to meet a wide variety of people from all sorts of walks of life.
● __40__
Volunteering isn't one of the most attractive jobs, but it is one of the most beneficial and uplifting (令人振奋的). It's taking some time out of your day and helping others. Volunteer work makes us feel good. It builds self­confidence and lifts up the spirits.
A．Building career choices

C．Developing a sense of achievement
D．Building relationships with people is very important.

36-40 BGEDC

36．B　根据文章接下来的四部分 “Gaining new social experience, Giving back and helping others, Creating connections with people, Developing a sense of achievement”可知，都是做志愿工作的好处和意义。本句应该是一个承上启下的句子，表示志愿工作意义重大，B项“Volunteering means a lot more.”符合上下文语境。
37．G　根据前一句“Volunteering allows students to get involved with new things and develop social and academic skills that couldn't be learned in a classroom environment.”可知，志愿工作会让学生参与到新的事情中学到在教室里学不到的知识。也就是说志愿工作可以让你体验不同的环境。G项“Volunteering allows you to experience different environments and situations.”与上下文语境一致。
38．E　根据后一句“They always tell me how great we sound and how they wish they had taken time to learn an instrument in their youth.”意为“他们总是告诉我这是多么好听，他们多么希望在年轻的时候也能够花时间学习音乐。”可知Jill是为社区的老人做音乐方面的志愿工作。E项“She volunteers by performing in concerts for senior citizens.”与上下文语境一致。
39．D　本段的主题是“Creating connections with people(志愿工作可以帮助我们与他人建立联系)”。根据后两句告诉我们志愿工作可以帮助别人了解你，也能展示出你的好品质，让你有机会接触各行各业的人。本句应该是本段的中心句，强调与他人建立良好的关系的重要性。D项“Building relationships with people is very important.”符合语境。
40．C　根据本段最后两句 “Volunteer work makes us feel good. It builds self­confidence and lifts up the spirits.”可知，志愿工作能够让我们自我感觉良好，增强自信心并振作起来，这些都有利于我们获得成就感。C项“Developing a sense of achievement”符合语境。

【语篇解读】　这是一篇说明文。作者介绍了夏至，以及夏至时世界各地的庆祝活动。
1．答案与解析：meaning　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，句子的谓语动词是originates，这里应用非谓语形式，mean与主语solstice是逻辑上的主谓关系，因此用动词­ing形式。
2．答案与解析：As　考查连词。由语境可知，此处表示“随着白天变长”，故应用as引导状语从句，表示“随着……”。
3．答案与解析：highest　考查形容词的最高级。依据上文中的“the sun rises higher and higher”和“one of the great turning points”及常识可知，太阳在夏至这一天是最高的，故用最高级。
4．答案与解析：is marked　考查时态和语态。依据上下文可知，此处应用一般现在时；mark sth. with sth.表示“用……纪念/庆贺……”，此处应用其被动语态。
5．答案与解析：to　考查介词。When it comes to...表示“当谈及……”，其中to为介词。
6．答案与解析：celebration　考查名词。由句中的the county's biggest可知此处用名词，celebration表示“庆祝，庆典”。
7．答案与解析：traditionally　考查副词。分析句子结构可知，该空修饰动词welcomes，故用副词形式。
8．答案与解析：is　考查主谓一致。动词­ing形式短语作主语时谓语动词用单数。本句的主语是“eating lychees (荔枝) during the summer solstice”，因此谓语动词用is。
9．答案与解析：that/which　考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，修饰saying，从句中缺少主语，因此用which或that。
10．答案与解析：noodles　考查名词复数。noodle是可数名词，其前没有限定词，故应用复数形式。

Dear Editor,
I am a senior high school student. Recently I’ve found that more and more students had mobile phones on their own.
They think them a fashion to have one ever since it’s very easy to keep in touch with their friends. However, some often takes their mobiles to the classroom. Sometimes we are disturbed by a suddenly ring. What’s bad, some even send messages in class wasted much of their time.
Our classroom is what we give all our attention to what we need to learn. The less we are disturbed in class, the better our achievements will be. Therefore, when a lesson is on no mobile phones should be allowed to brought into the classroom.
Yours,
Li Hua
