Molly Wogan loves dogs so much that she decided to give up a big party of her life to help them. When she learned many dogs lived in bad conditions or had their lives cut short, she decided to send them to the dog shelters that had helped her family find their family dogs.
So, instead of having a big party for her initiation ceremony (成人礼)，she decided to help the dogs. As Molly said, “To be an adult means doing good things, but I didn't want to focus on a party. I didn't really need a party, but the dogs need the help.”
Molly was already a shelter volunteer helping out once each week. But she decided to take things to the next level. Molly started the Precious Animals Wonderful Shelters Project to help the dogs in bad situations travel across the country to find people who were willing to adopt them. Molly set a target to raise $2,500 in one year to give to 14 local shelters along with items like toys. Over the year, her project grew.
Molly ended up volunteering for over 400 hours and sold homemade dog toys and treats, and key chains at 45 different events. In just a year, she raised $38,000. Meanwhile she also took two “transport” trips from Georgia to her home state of Massachusetts to move 110 at-risk dogs to the Northeast, where she helped each find a home. With the money she raised, she could get every dog vet visits, food and transport.
Molly hopes to save another 100 dogs this year. She is a wonderful example of a young person following her heart and taking action to make the world a better place. Molly is not only saving 100 dogs' lives, but she is changing the lives of those who adopt them as well.
24. Why did Molly start the project
A. To help the dogs find new homes.
B. To get more money to raise dogs.
C. To make the dogs visit some cities.
D. To help dogs adapt to the environment.
25. Which of the following can best describe Molly
A. Brave and careful. B. Clever and humorous.
C. Kind and selfless. D. Cooperative and pretty.
26. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. The praise for Molly. B. The example of adults.
C. The situation of the dogs. D. The future of the project.
27. What do we know about Molly from the text
A. She is ready to help more people.
B. She became rich for saving many dogs.
C. She travelled across the country to raise dogs.
D. She has been devoting herself to helping dogs.

A new study involving nearly 50 000 people from four continents offers new insights into identifying the quantity of daily walking steps that will best improve adults’ health and longevity (长寿)，and whether the ideal number of steps differs across people of different ages. The study represents an effort to develop an evidence-based public health message about the benefits of physical activity. The often-repeated 10 000-step-a-day saying grew out of a decades-old marketing activity for a Japanese pedometer (计步器), with no science to back it up.
Led by physical activity professor Amanda Paluch, an international group of scientists conducted an experiment among adults aged 18 and older. They grouped the nearly 50 000 participants into four comparative groups according to average steps per day. The lowest step group averaged 3 500 steps; the second, 5 800; the third, 7 800; and the fourth, 10 900 steps per day. Among the three higher active groups, there was a 40%--53% lower risk of death, compared to the lowest step group.
More specifically, for adults aged 60 and older, the risk of early death leveled off at about 6 000-- 8 000 steps per day , meaning that more steps than that provided no additional benefit for longevity, while for adults younger than 60, about 8000--10 000 steps per day.
"So, what we saw was this continuing reduction in risk as the number of steps increases, until it levels off. Interestingly, the study found no definitive association with walking speed." Paluch says.
The new study supports and expands findings from another study led by Paluch before, which found that walking at least 7 000 steps a day reduced middle-aged people's risk of early death. “There's a lot of evidence suggesting that moving even a little more is beneficial, particularly for those who are doing very little activity," Paluch says. “More steps per day are better for your health."
28. Why did the scientists carry out the new study
A. To know about people's health condition.
B. To explain the pedometer's working principles.
C. To determine the best physical activity for people.
D. To provide a scientific guideline on daily walking.
29. What do the underlined words “leveled off” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Turned higher. B. Became stable.
C. Fell sharply. D. Changed rapidly.
30. What does the experiment find
A. The old should walk as much as possible.
B. Young people usually walk more than the old.
C. The most beneficial steps differ by age groups.
D. Walking pace is the key to avoiding early death.
31. What does Paluch advise people doing little activity to do
A. To walk more steps.
B. To control walking speed.
C. To limit walking distance.
D. To track the number of steps.
D
In our daily schedules and busy lives, there are moments when we tend to think about where we are heading in life. Can we say that we are living a successful life, or even heading toward one How to achieve success in life actually depends on what success means to you.
Most people think of success as getting a highly-paid job. But what they are forgetting is that a job is just a means to make your life easier. What is the point of earning a lot of money if you don't get the time for people who are most important to you in life After all, you are earning for them and yourself only, right
In addition, it is very difficult to keep a balance for those who are always looking for more and are never happy with themselves currently. It becomes, therefore, necessary to be thankful for all that you have achieved in life and be proud of yourself. Another key is to not only be confident but also respect what others say. A person who respects his elders and values their advice always becomes more successful in life compared to those with overconfidence.
Most of us tend to focus on things that we don't have. For example, you might be sad that you aren't the manager of your company. However, you don't understand the fact that there may be thousands of people who are dying to be in the place where you are right now. At times counting the coins in your hand is better than regretting that you didn't get a gold mine.
Obviously, life is to move forward. But then in the end, it is the experience you get from the journey of life that matters, not the destination you are heading toward. Success in life may be different for different people, but living happily each and every moment is the main key to becoming successful in life. So what are you doing now to live a successful life
32. What does the author think of work and life
A. Work is as necessary as life.
B. Earn to live and don't live to earn.
C. A highly-paid job means a successful life.

A. The importance of keeping moving forward.
B. The importance of making use of what you own.
C. The importance of having confidence in yourself.
D. The importance of being grateful for what you have.
34. What does the author suggest at the end of the text
A. Being proud of yourself.
B. Living in the present happily.
C. Being different from others in life.
D. Determining the destination of your life.
35. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To give us some tips on being successful in life.
B. To warn us not to just think about making money.
C. To encourage us to be confident about the future life,

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Once a year in a small mountain village, the Mande people gather to hear the folk stories
of their traditions. The man playing an instrument called Sosso-Bala while singing is the storyteller. He holds all the folk knowledge of the Mande people.
Most of us don't have a musical instrument that ties us together, but we have someone in our lives who's the keeper of our folk knowledge. Often it's a grandmother, who keeps all our stories of wisdom ready to tell upon request. 36 What's the best way to get a baby to sleep Where do I come from What's my moral compass The stories provide an answer, and it's useful to speak with someone who knows how things are done.
37 Researchers have documented folk knowledge in other species—whales returning to parts of the sea that they'd abandoned a generation before; monkeys that communicate hunting skills to their offspring(后代). Folk knowledge is not only culture, it's also survival. 38
Traditionally, we share it in small units-families sharing around a dinner table. 39 Look at any social media, and you'll see folk knowledge at work and at play. It's exploded as we're trained to look for information online, rather than from within. In this case, chances are that our questions can be answered with misinformation.
But we don't gather once a year to reality check our “folk stories” as the Mande people do; nor do we center our folk traditions around a musical instrument. The Internet has no reality except its own and, left unchecked, its wisdom has no rhythm(节奏). 40
A. It's just chaos.
B. This is why we do it.
C. Human wisdom has been passed down through generations.
D. The stories can be useful for dealing with all sorts of doubts.
E. Nowadays, folk knowledge has expanded to digital networks.
F. Now the Internet has made valuable folk wisdom at your fingertips.
G. Recently, we discovered that this very human practice isn't limited to humans.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成篇完整的短文。
"If Mum finds out that I'm going to the beach, I'll be in big trouble." I muttered (咕哝) to myself softly.
I walked slowly and silently down the stairs and tried to walk casually into the kitchen. As I was walking towards the back door, Mum asked without looking up from her “dish-washing”, “Where are you going " I answered without hesitation, “I'm going to the garden to play." After I got out of the kitchen, I breathed a sigh of relief. My plan had worked out fine so far. I climbed over the fence and jumped onto the muddy field next to my house and started running towards the bus stop at top speed.
After half an hour, I was at the beach scanning the crowd for my friends Jimmy and Bobby. Two young men were racing in their boats. After a while, I spotted my friends near a coconut tree. I ran towards them and got into my swimming trunks (游泳裤). For about an hour, we played volleyball happily.
Suddenly, Bobby hit the ball too hard and the ball fell into the sea. Just as Bobby was about to pick up the ball, the tide came in and carried the ball further and further away from the shore. I wanted to show off my swimming skills so I decided to get the ball for them.
I dived into the water and started swimming at a steady pace. After swimming for about ten minutes, I became tired, but when I saw that the ball was only a few feet away from me, I put in an extra burst of speed. However, just as I was about to catch the ball, a very strong current swept the ball further away from me. At that moment, a string of weed (水草) trapped my feet and I could not swim properly.
I struggled to float but it was no use. “If I had listened to Mum and Dad, this would never have happened, " I thought silently.
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。
Finally, after struggling for a minute or two, I still got pulled underwater._____________

One possible version:
Finally, after struggling for a minute or two, I still got pulled underwater. I told myself I should never give up. Then I pulled the weed again with great effort. It finally broke. With all my remaining strength, I managed to swim back to the surface to take a breath. At that moment, I saw the two young men in the boats, who were racing against each other. I was exhausted but I shouted,“Help! Help!” Fortunately, they heard my shouts and raced towards me. By the time they reached me, I had already lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I was in an empty room lying on a bed. It was not until a doctor came into the room that I realized that I was in a hospital. Jimmy and Bobby told me the two young men brought me to the shore and sent me to the hospital. After a few minutes, my parents hurried in, anxious and breathless. They scolded me for running out of the house secretly but were also glad that I was not seriously injured. I would never forget the terrifying experience and neither would I show off again.

He started Urban Forest. The group plants native trees in cities in Pakistan. Since 2015, Qureshi and his team have helped cool the air by planting 14 urban forests in Pakistan. Twelve are in Karachi. The trees also provide a habitat for a variety of animals and food for the community. And they create a shady spot where people can relax. In 2017, Qureshi helped plant an urban forest at Karachi Grammar School. First, he met with students there. He taught them about how trees help the environment. Then the students pitched in. They helped plant saplings in the schoolyard. “They were excited about the project,” Muneeza Shaikhli says. She’s a principal at Karachi Grammar School. “They themselves had been experiencing the high temperatures in the summer months.” The trees attract birds and colorful butterflies. Students go outside during science class to study the forest. “It’s like a library of native trees in front of the kids,” Qureshi says. “They can identify the native species and insects that are around. It’s a beautiful thing to see.”

One possible version:
Finally, after struggling for a minute or two, I still got pulled underwater. I told myself I should never give up. Then I pulled the weed again with great effort. It finally broke. With all my remaining strength, I managed to swim back to the surface to take a breath. At that moment, I saw the two young men in the boats, who were racing against each other. I was exhausted but I shouted, “Help! Help!” Fortunately, they heard my shouts and raced towards me. By the time they reached me, I had already lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I was in an empty room lying on a bed. It was not until a doctor came into the room that I realized that I was in a hospital. Jimmy and Bobby told me the two young men brought me to the shore and sent me to the hospital. After a few minutes, my parents hurried in, anxious and breathless. They scolded me for running out of the house secretly but were also glad that I was not seriously injured. I would never forget the terrifying experience and neither would I show off again.
