“Anyone knows single parents who can’t afford to get their child’s hair done for school I will braid (编辫子) it for free!” Brittany Starks wrote on a Facebook post.
She decided to offer her hair braiding services after a family friend delivered backpacks full of school supplies, clothing and shoes for Cayden and Ceniyah in early August. “At the time, I didn’t have anything for my kids to start school,” said Starks, who is in between homes and staying with her mother. “It meant so much to me.”
The unexpected gift made a big difference to Starks and her children, and it motivated her to pay it forward. Starks, who works two receptionist jobs, also braids hair part-time. “The hair-braiding process involves washing, blow-drying, and finally dividing the hair into small sections and braiding it. It also requires multiple supplies — including combs, brushes, hair jam and additional pieces of hair to weave in. It costs anywhere from $150 to $400 at a salon (美发厅), depending on the style,” Stacks explained. “But it can last for months and is a huge timesaver in the mornings.”
When she wrote the Facebook post, she assumed only a handful of people would reach out, but before she knew it, she had 35 appointments booked. Her Facebook inbox was suddenly full of messages from single parents, whose stories of hardship and financial challenges mirrored her own.
“There’s a huge need for this. I could really relate to a lot of the women who reached out, and it made me realize that what I was doing was really important,” said Stacks. “What got me the most was seeing the kids smile.” Given that there was less than two weeks before the start of school, Starks knew she needed to enlist help.
What got Brittany Starks to offer her hair braiding service
A. A post on Facebook. B. Her friend’s timely help.
C. Her mother’s advice. D. A trip to her kids’ school.
What does Starks say about hair braiding
A. It’s a bit dear. B. It’s time-wasting.
C. It’s an easy job. D. It’s a mother’s duty.
How does Starks feel about the response to her Facebook post
A. Rather disturbing. B. Beyond expectation.
C. Far from satisfactory. D. Very disappointing.
What can we infer about Brittany Starks from the text
A. She is single with one child. B. She is ambitious and arbitrary.
C. She is in need of helping hands. D. She is free from financial worries.
C
In recent years, China has witnessed the growth of luxury (奢侈品) brands. In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. It’s clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image.
I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit—I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels.
When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing.
What’s interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn’t lead to happiness.
Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don’t suddenly become “happy” people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. That’s because experiences are more easily combined with a person’s identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me.
Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue happiness through “things” are liked less by their peers. People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences.
It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are.
Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.
What can we infer from the first three paragraphs
The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself.
The author agrees to spend money on material things.
The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels.
The author finds it natural for fashionists to follow fashion trends.
Leaf Van Boven’s studies showed that .
traveling changes a person’s identity greatly
people dislike those who love luxuries
experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries
luxuries have a negative effect on people’s happiness
What is the author’s advice on expressing oneself
Be selective about designer labels.
Create your own personal unique style.
Choose styles that are simple and comfortable.
Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s.
The main purpose of the article is to .
persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries
prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life
tell how to express yourself through appearances
report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness
D
Quantum (量子) computers have been on my mind a lot lately. A friend has been sending me articles on how quantum computers might help solve some of the biggest challenges we face as humans. I’ve also had exchanges with two quantum-computing experts. One is computer scientist Chris Johnson who I see as someone who helps keep the field honest. The other is physicist Philip Taylor.
For decades, quantum computing has been little more than a laboratory curiosity. Now, big tech companies have invested in quantum computing, as have many smaller ones. According to Business Weekly, quantum machines could help us “cure cancer, and even take steps to turn climate change in the opposite direction.” This is the sort of hype (炒作) that annoys Johnson. He worries that researchers are making promises they can’t keep. “What’s new,” Johnson wrote, “is that millions of dollars are now potentially available to quantum computing researchers.”
As quantum computing attracts more attention and funding, researchers may mislead investors, journalists, the public and, worst of all, themselves about their work’s potential. If researchers can’t keep their promises, excitement might give way to doubt, disappointment and anger, Johnson warns. Lots of other technologies have gone through stages of excitement. But something about quantum computing makes it especially prone to hype, Johnson suggests, perhaps because “‘quantum’ stands for something cool you shouldn’t be able to understand.” And that brings me back to Taylor, who suggested that I read his book Q for Quantum.
After I read the book, Taylor patiently answered my questions about it. He also answered my questions about PyQuantum, the firm he co-founded in 2016. Taylor shares Johnson’s concerns about hype, but he says those concerns do not apply to PyQuantum.
The company, he says, is closer than any other firm “by a very large margin ( 幅 度 )” to building a “useful” quantum computer, one that “solves an impactful problem that we would not have been able to solve otherwise.” He adds, “People will naturally discount my opinions, but I have spent a lot of time quantitatively comparing what we are doing with others.”
Could PyQuantum really be leading all the competition “by a wide margin”, as Taylor claims I don’t know. I’m certainly not going to advise my friend or anyone else to invest in quantum computers. But I trust Taylor, just as I trust Johnson.
Regarding Johnson’s concerns, the author feels .
A. appreciative B. unconcerned C. skeptical D. overwhelmed
What leads to Taylor’s optimism about quantum computing
A. His dominance in physics. B. The competition in the field.
C. His confidence in PyQuantum. D. The investment of tech companies.
What does the underlined word “prone” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean
A. Open. B. Superb. C. Useful. D. Resistant.
Which would be the best title for the passage
Is Johnson More Competent Than Taylor
Is Quantum Computing Redefining Technology
Will Quantum Computers Ever Come into Being
Will Quantum Computing Ever Live Up to Its Hype

Most smartphones allow you to run location-sharing software that uses the phone's GPS capability to let friends and family know your exact location. There are lots of great uses for this technology. 36 So make sure you're permitted to use an app or service, and pay attention to how you are using it. Here're some important points you may find helpful.
Choose what's best for you. Some location-sharing services are games that let you give a shout-out when you've turned up at a particular spot. 37 Still others continue to share your location until you change the setting. Be sure you know exactly how your service shares your location.
Know who your friends are. 38 This means people can search to see if you're online and add you as a friend. It's important to remember that sharing your location with people you've never met in real life is risky, so you should carefully manage friend requests and share your location only with people you know and trust.
39 Some services automatically stop sending your location after a period of time, but others will send it forever — until you stop it. Review your contact list periodically and delete anyone to whom you no longer feel comfortable revealing your location.
Update parents. Location-based services are a great way for teens to let parents know where they are without having to call or text. 40 If you're heading home late at night, you can also use a service like Glympse to share your location as you drive, so they'll know if you have car trouble or get stuck in traffic.
Check back often.
Keep sending your location.
However, these services are not for all children.
With its help, you can easily share your location with them.
Check-ins ease worries so they don't have to follow your every move.
Others show where you are all the time or for a period of time you set.
Some location services operate like Facebook, where you invite and accept friends.

第二节 （满分 25 分）
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。
I’m smaller than everyone else my age. When I walk in the halls at school, I have to squeeze in between the bigger kids to get by. At the playground, sometimes even little kids try to boss me around. Mia, my best friend, is so tall that when she walks, I have to jog to keep up with her.
I used to try to make myself taller whenever I could. My posture was perfect, straight as an arrow. I hung from the tree in our backyard to stretch out my arms and legs. I even ate all my vegetables. Every day I measured myself, but I was the same height every time. Frustrating!
“Don’t worry,” Mom always said. “Being small has its advantages.” “Really I could never notice any.”
One day, Mrs. Alvarez announced to the class that we’d be putting on a spring play. I practiced all the lines. But at the audition ( 试 演 ), when I walked up to the stage, Mrs. Alvarez cried, “You’ll be perfect as the elf (小精灵)! You’re just the right size for the costume.” I even never got a chance to deliver the practiced lines. Back home I grumbled (咕哝) to mum that I was made an elf. But she bet I would be the best elf. To please her, I went to rehearsals (排练), though I only had two lines.
Mia got the lead role-a girl wandering through a magical fairy forest in search of her lost dog.
In the last scene, she finds a box under a giant mushroom, and when she opens it, her dog jumps out. Mrs. Alvarez’s dog, Prince, played the dog role. She brought him to all the rehearsals, and when he wasn’t onstage, we got to play with him, but he seemed to like me best.
The night of the show, my first line came early, “Let’s ask the Fairy Queen!” Since my only other line was toward the end, I waited offstage, playing with Prince.
注意：
续写词数应为 150 左右；
请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
(
Finally, the grand end came, and Prince was brought onstage inside the box.
“
How can we get Prince out from beneath the stage
”
Mrs. Alvarez asked.

第一节
Dear James,
Knowing you’re interested in our school’s psychology club, I’m writing to introduce it. The club was founded in 2018, aiming to popularize knowledge of mental health and help students handle adolescent problems.
Last Wednesday, a “Trouble Tree” activity was launched. Students were advised to write their troubles on cards, and then hung them on a specially-decorated tree. Any participant could choose a card randomly, on which to write suggested solutions.
Not only did this activity relieve students’ stress, but it promoted peer interaction and raised psychological health awareness.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
Finally, the grand end came, and Prince was brought onstage inside the box. Just as had been practiced, the moment Mia opened the box, Prince jumped out as a magical arrow, and began to perform with Mia harmonically. Their performance was so excellent that suddenly there came a burst of thunderous applause! Never had Prince experienced such a great scene that he felt frustrated, frightened to find a safety shelter. Jumping off the stage, he slid under the stage through a narrow hole. A perfect show on the stage instantly turned to looking for the dog offstage.
“How can we get Prince out from beneath the stage ” Mrs. Alvarez asked. No way was available. Suddenly, an idea came to me that it’s my chance to show my advantages to get it out. I was small enough to creep in and comfort Prince. I called him gently as I crawled under the stage. Sensing his acquaintance in front, he stopped trembling and began to wag to me delightedly. Soon we went back to the stage. Prince continued his good performance with my role as the elf! It was then that I really understood what Mom meant.

Text 10
M: Thank you very much. Thank you Dr. Johnson. Well, it is really great to be back at university again. The thing that I want to tell you today is this: education is important. When I came to the U.S., I was only thinking about being a carpenter, but I could not read the newspaper and I could not understand the news on television or movies or anything like this, so I entered the city college to take English classes for foreign students. I was very proud that I was going to a college because no one in my family ever went to any college or to any university. You know, when you are 15 years old in my country, you finish school and then you learn a trade. And that’s exactly what I did. When I was 15 years old, I learned how to be a carpenter. A year later, I came to America. Luckily, I met a very good teacher who encouraged me to take some math classes, business classes and history classes and I became a full-time college student. And today when I look back, I’m so happy because you never know where life will take you. All of a sudden, I started making money, because I was really good at math. You know, how to work out everything with math is so important. This is something that I learned when I started my own business, which is doing really well.
