The most extraordinary thing happened when I was out on this walk. I saw an old man sitting on a chair. He was a seller of second-hand shoes. He seemed so tired and nobody was buying his shoes.I wanted to give him something but I had not brought anything with me. Then, a little girl came toward him. I heard the child say, “Grandfather, may I polish your shoes?” That old man took pity on her, smiled and he gave her a shoe to polish. The girl said, “I polish the shoe because I need money to buy my brother a new school uniform.” The old man answered, “Oh, little girl. Just stop doing this. Come with me and I will buy you a uniform.”Then they walked to a market (I followed behind) and he bought her a uniform. The girl was so happy. She said, “Thank you so much for doing this.” Then she left, leaving the old man smiling. He walked away from the market, but I stopped him.I whispered in his ear, “You are a hero! Thank you for your kindness!” As I walked away, I glanced back and I could see him still smiling. I was blown away by the kindness I had just seen. Someone who had so little himself was able to show such incredible generosity! Amazing!My own sadness had completely disappeared, chased away by the light of this kind act. I began realizing that I have a lot to be thankful for.4. Why did the girl want to polish shoes for the old man?A. To support the old man’s business.         B. To show her pity on the old man.C.

There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteer don’t expect any kind of pay.At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school. We watched a video about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I also wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends, I flew to Caltutta for a few weeks.”“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets and passed out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”8. According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who_______.A. is willing to help those in need without pay B. can afford to travel to different placesC. has a strong wish to be successful D. has made a big fortune in life9. Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer?A. She liked to work with Mother Teresa.   B. She had already had some experience.C. She was asked by Mother Teresa.       D. She wanted to follow Mother Teresa’s example.10. What is Tracy’s “new idea” (in paragraph 2) of being a volunteer?A. Going abroad to help the sick. B. Working in Mother Teresa’s home.C. Doing simple things to help the poor. D. Improving oneself through helping others.11. What is the best title for the passage?A. How to Be a Volunteer. B. Voluntary Life in India.C. A Different Meaning of Volunteer. D. Inspiration from Mother Teresa.DOn September 29, 2021, the US Fish and Wildlife Service declared it would be removing 23 species from its Endangered Species Act, including the ivory-billed woodpecker, various Hawaiian birds and freshwater fish, not because they had been pulled back from the edge of extinction, but because the USFWS believed these species would never recover, and were most likely extinct, therefore not requiring protection.In April, 195 countries are getting together in China for a UN conference to discuss global agreements to protect nature and biodiversity(生物多样性), with the hope of finalizing an agreement to safeguard plants, animals, and ecosystems. However, the new strain (毒株) of Covid-19, Omicron, has potentially thrown the plans into a mess, and negotiators may switch to online talks if travel restrictions to China are put in place again.“We can't go another four months without any progress” said Georgina Chandler, senior international policy officer at the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. Conservationists are urging the talks to go ahead —  online if necessary — as the biodiversity crisis shows no sign of slowing up.“Nature loss has not gone away and threatens both human lives and the global economy,” said Lin Li, director of global policy at the organization. “With one million species currently in danger of extinction, delaying action is not an option(选择).”Improving conservation and management of natural areas, such as oceans, forests, and wildernesses is crucial to safeguarding the ecosystems on which humans depend. However, forests are still being devastated, often for farming or commercial use. As trees absorb about a  third of planet-warming emissions produced worldwide, stopping deforestation is key. At
 COP26 in Glasgow last November, world leaders plan to invest $19 billion in public and private funds to protect and restore global forests.It’s easy to feel disheartened by the disappointing news, but the only way to stop more species suffering the same fate is to pay attention and take actions.12. Why would the 23 species be removed from the Endangered Species Act?A. Because they are less endangered.           B. Because they have already died out.C. Because more fund is in need to protect them.D. Because nothing can save them from extinction.13. What do Georgina Chandler and Lin Li urge to do?A. Take immediate actions.                 B. Put off the conference.C. Delay action.                          D. Improve global economy.14. What does the underlined word “devastated” mean in the fifth paragraph?A. Repaired. B. Destroyed. C. Arranged. D. Disturbed.15. What does the author intend to do by writing the text?A. To explain why some species have disappeared.B. To recommend ways to protect and restore forests.C. To describe the present situation of global ecosystem.D. To call for attention and action against biodiversity crisis.第二节 七选五（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 12.5 分）    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余项。Reducing Test AnxietyTest anxiety arises when a student excessively worries about doing badly in a test.

Flashes from cameras lit up in all directions. The applause filled my ears. I had done it. I had really done it.Just a few months earlier, I would never have pictured myself acting in a play in front of two hundred people."Not for a million dollars," I would have said. But when the time came, I got up on stage and faced one of my greatest fears and discovered I could do more than I ever gave myself credit for. I found a new person inside me, a much more daring(大胆的), outgoing person who had been hidden all along, just waiting for the opportunity to appear.If not for my teacher, Mrs Sather, I might never have found that opportunity.In the first and second grade, I was extremely shy. I had friends, but it just wasn't in my personality to be very outgoing, even when I knew someone well. I was afraid I would do or say something wrong, so usually I just smiled and listened to other people's conversations. I did well in school and I loved to write. However, I would escape into my writing, where I could be myself and never had to worry about what other people thought of me. In my stories, I was never shy.My teacher, Mrs Sather, always encouraged me to write more. She told our class to go after our dreams and dig in with both hands. I think she was one of the first people to see my inner strength. One day, she announced that our class was going to perform a play she had written." I'll begin to cast(选…扮演某角色) everyone tomorrow," she said." I need someone who is not afraid to be on stage in front of a lot of people to play the lead part(主角) of Dorothy. Anybody want to try?" A few excited hands shot up(举起手)--mine, of course, was not one of them and Mrs Sather smiled." We'll talk more about it tomorrow," she said. Then the bell rang and my classmates slowly left the classroom.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。Paragraph 1:When I was loading up my backpack(背包), Mrs Sather asked me to go to her._____________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:Hearing Mrs Sather’s words, I realized it was time to make a change._____________________
