The Beijing to Lhasa Express, China

Start: Beijing           End: Lhasa

Distance: 2,330 miles    Duration（时长）: 40 hours

Connecting Beijing with Lhasa, the Z21 train transports its passengers from a modern city to a mysterious land.

Some railways run through historic cities, others run beside beautiful coastline and a few are famous for the colorful characters on board. The Reunification Express meets all these conditions.

My name is Jacob Cramer. I am a freshman at Orange High School.

In 2013, I founded an organization called Love For The Elderly. Many elderly people have no one to care for them, no one to look after them, and no one to love them. The elderly have paved the pathway of success for my generation. They deserve to be shown appreciation and kindness but are often ignored.

I am sure all of you have someone in your heart who has been at a nursing home. Think of them while I say this: they deserve the best and nothing but the best. The elderly are such an outstanding group, and their wisdom can most definitely be learned from. This idea of appreciating the elderly reverberated (回响) inside my head until finally, I decided it was time to step up and make a difference.

My passion for writing led me to create an organization, where people from all across the globe send letters filled with kindness and joy, from Iceland, Romania, Finland, Australia, and more. I then send these letters to senior centers, nursing homes, and retirement communities located all across the country. To this date, I have collected over 1,000 letters, and the response I have received has been truly unbelievable.

This past month, I had the opportunity to receive $100 from KindSpring through their monthly kindness contest to help my organization. This money has been of great help. We do not receive much money, and so it helped to pay for many costs, including postage and envelopes. This gesture of kindness has been very beneficial to my organization, and I could not be more appreciative. Thank you so much to KindSpring for this amazing opportunity. If any of you would like to get involved in my organization, please visit lovefortheelderly.org.

24. What does the author tell us about the elderly?

A. All are in bad condition. B. Most get little love or care.

C. A few live a successful life. D. They appreciate others’ kindness.

25. Which of the following can best describe the author?

A. Outgoing and honest. B. Aggressive but careful.

C. Kind and ambitious. D. Considerate but silent.

26. Why does the author mention KindSpring?

A. To advertise for the organization.

B. To appeal to others to donate money.

C. To show mean behaviors of the organization.

D. To express his thanks to the organization.

27. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?

A. Volunteer in Senior Centers — Your Choice

B. Love for the Elderly — a Chance to Show Kindness

C. Stay Alone after Retirement — the Elderly’s Suffering

D. Letters to Parents — the Way of Expressing Love

C

The elderly residents (居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.

The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.

Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said: “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school. ”

“I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve gone to bed.”

“It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.”

There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.

Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said: “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.”

Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: “We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.”

28. What is the purpose of the project?

A. To ensure harmony in care homes.        B. To provide part-time jobs for the aged.

C. To raise money for medical research.      D. To promote the elderly people’s welfare.

29. How has the project affected Ruth Xavier?

A. She has learned new life skills.          B. She has gained a sense of achievement.

C. She has recovered her memory.          D. She has developed a strong personality.

30. What do the underlined words “embark on” mean in paragraph 7?

A. Improve.   B. Oppose.     C. Begin.  D. Evaluate.

31. What can we learn about the project from the last two paragraphs?

A. It is well received. B. It needs to be more creative.

C. It is highly profitable. D. It takes ages to see the results.

D

The traditional Chinese Shaoxing opera has a long history, but these days it seems that young people don't show much interest in it.

Nowadays, as pop music and online films are popular with the public, Shaoxing opera is struggling for its survival. The market of the opera is becoming smaller. It remains popular only with the older generation. According to Zhejiang provincial cultural department, the most of fans of Shaoxing opera, China's second largest traditional opera, are above 40 years old. And many teenagers know nothing about Shaoxing opera and have never been to the theatre.

Yang Jianxin, head of the department, said, "Now, young people are crazy about other art forms but not the traditional operas. The largest problem for Shaoxing opera today is how to become acceptable to the young. "

Actually, not only Shaoxing opera but also many other traditional Chinese operas are in danger. That's really worrying. Luckily, people are trying to protect them. For example, Kunqu has been listed as one of the Masterpieces（杰作）of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO since 2001.

In 2006, Shaoxing opera, for the fist time in history, entered the pub（酒吧）. It was really a good try to attract the youth. Besides, a Shaoxing opera group opened a Shaoxing opera blog on the Internet to invite people, especially the young, to express their opinions about this traditional art form.

32. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?

A. To introduce the topic.              B. To show young people's preference.

C. To recommend Shaoxing opera.       D. To talk about the history of Shaoxing opera

33. Why is it hard for Shaoxing opera to survive?

A. The market of art is closed to it.           B. Theaters don't accept it any longer.

C. The young generation have got tired of it.   D. Modern art is becoming increasingly popular

34. What does the underlined word "them" in paragraph 4 refer to?

A. Modern arts.       B. Chinese operas.

C. The Masterpieces.     D. Shaoxing opera and Kunqu.

35. How does the author sound at the end of the text?

A. Anxious.   B Satisfied.   C. Hopeful.    D. Bored.

● 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.

Once upon a time, there were two brothers who lived on two adjoining (相邻的) farms. The elder brother is John and the younger one is Jack. One day they got a problem. It was the first serious disagreement in 40 years of farming side-by-side, sharing machines and using goods as needed. Clearly they could not get on well with each other like before and the long-time good relationship fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and then it grew into a big difference. Finally, they had words with each other followed by weeks of silence. No one was willing to be the first to accept mistakes or forgive each other.

One morning there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter’s toolbox. “I’m a carpenter(木匠), and I am good at making chairs, tables, and even bridges. Now I’m looking for a few days’ work,” the man said. “Perhaps you would have some small projects and I could help. Could I help you?”

“Yes,” said John. “I do have a job for you. Look across the river at that farm. That’s my neighbor. In fact, it’s my younger brother! There was a piece of grassland between us. However, he recently brought his bulldozer (推土机) and now there is a river between us. Well, he may have done this to upset me on purpose, but I’ll do more. See the wood over there? I want you to build a fence (篱笆), an eight-foot-long fence, so I won’t need to see his place or his face anymore.”

The carpenter said, “I think I understand the situation. Show me the materials（材料） and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.”John had to go to town to buy something for his farm, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he left.

Paragraph 1:

The carpenter worked hard all that day.

Paragraph 2:

The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge.
