M: No. Some of our teachers have to teach more classes than before.
W: Do you have enough textbooks for the students
M: No. One tenth of them have to share. But now we are trying our best to buy more for them.
W: Now the last question. Are the students satisfied with what you have done for them
M: Not really. We do need a new teaching building and some more sleeping rooms, but we don't have enough money. Luckily, the city government is going to help us.

Tavolara is a small island off the northeast coast of Sardinia, Italy. It is just over three miles long and a mile wide. It is the smallest kingdom in the world.
There are only 14 people living on this island. Antonio Bertoleoni is the king of this island. The Bertoleoni family has ruled the island since late 18th century.
Back in the Victoria Time, even the Queen heard of this family and sent a man in a boat to take a picture of them for her collection.
The Bertoleoni family of this island has always been its protector. The king once even drove away people who wanted to buy the wood on the island. Besides, Tavolara has refused to build more houses on its beach and he also refused to build any roads. There is only one restaurant and one little beach bar. And the tourists can't live on the island. So they can only get on the island in the daytime. So now, Tavolara is one of the best reserves.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国年轻女商人创办慈善机构并鼓舞了许多人的故事。

65.答案与解析:a 考查冠词。句意:如果你不富有或不出名,你仍然可以做一些事情来帮助创造一个更美好的世界。分析句意可知,此处用不定冠词泛指“一个更好的时节”, better发音以辅音音素开头,需用不定冠词a限定。

参考范文:
Dear Peter,
I'm sorry to hear that checking social media makes you unhappy.I completely understand you.Actually, many people experience such feelings.
As a matter of fact, things are not always what they seem.Many people's selfies have been beautified with beauty apps.What's more, social media is only part of a person's life and many people only choose to show the best part.Few people like posting photos when something bad happens to them.
So my advice is to avoid comparing with others and live your own life happily.
Yours,
Li Hua

参考范文:
There, underneath the tree, was a beautifully packed gift box. Inside it was the “doll” I expected. With butterflies in my stomach, I breathed deeply and then opened it expectantly. However, much to my disappointment, it was nothing like the one that we saw at the store. She wore a plain skirt with a simple face. Her black woolen hair was pulled back in a pony tail, with no shiny tiara at all, not to mention the crystal shoes. She was nothing like Cinderella; she looked more like the ugly stepsister.
But I could see Mother watching me, waiting for my response. I knew Mum would be sad if she knew what I really felt. Hiding my disappointment, I shouted with delight, “She's hard to resist! Thanks, Mum!” A relieved smile appeared on my mother's face. From time to time, I would take the “ugly stepsister” out and admire it. It is a reminder of my mother's love. Her love would make me special and happy even if things did not always tick all the right boxes.

An Indonesian librarian is lending books to children in exchange for trash they collect in a novel way to clean up the environment and get the kids to read more.
Each weekday, Raden Roro Hendarti, a librarian in Indonesia's Java Island rides her three wheeler with books piled up at the back for children in Muntang village to exchange for plastic cups, bags and other waste that she carries back. As soon as she shows up, little children, many accompanied by their mothers, surround her “Trash Library” and ask loudly for the books. They are all carrying trash bags and Raden's three wheeler quickly fills up with them as the books fly out. She's happy the kids are going to spend less time on online games as a result.
“Let us get kids to read more and build a culture of literacy from a young age,” Raden said. “We should also take care of our waste in order to fight against climate change and to save the earth from trash,” she said.
She collects about 100 kg of waste each week, which is then sorted out by her colleagues and sent for recycling or sold. She has a stock of 6,000 books to lend and wants to take the mobile service to neighboring areas as well.
Kevin Alamsyah, an eager 11 year old reader, looks for waste lying in the village. “When there is too much trash, our environment will become dirty and it's not healthy. That's why I look for trash to borrow a book,” he says.
The literacy rate for above 15 year olds in Indonesia is around 96 percent, but a September report by the World Bank warned that the pandemic will leave more than 80% of 15 year olds below the minimum reading level identified by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
24.What is “Trash Library” like
A.Well decorated. B.Noisy and dirty.
C.Relaxing. D.Popular.
25.Why does Raden run the “Trash Library”?
A.To fight against climate change.
B.To collect trash for money.
C.To help kids get away from online games.
D.To get kids to read more and care for the environment.
26.What can we infer from the passage
A.Indonesia's environmental situation is worrying.
B.People in Indonesia has a very low literacy rate.
C.The trash library has been introduced to many other cities.
D.The pandemic has a negative effect on teenagers' reading.
27.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A.A Novel Way to Improve Library B.The Indonesian System for Reading
C.Your Trash Benefiting the Environment D.Your Collected Trash for Our Books
C
In recent years, researchers of Cornell University's Food and Brand Lab are studying how environmental factors influence many Americans to unnoticeably eat too much. Many people wrongly believe that factors like hunger or boredom and depression are the main causes of overeating, but their research has shown otherwise. It is thought that we overeat if the food is good or if we're really hungry. In reality, those are two of the last things that determine how much we eat.
In one experiment, the researcher placed jars of candies in workers' offices for a month. Then, he moved the candies 1.8 m away. The office workers ate five more candies each day when the jar was closer to them, equaling an additional 125 calories a day. It does not sound too bad, but add that up over a year and you will have gained 5.4 kg. “If something is visible, every time we see it, we have to make a decision: to eat it or not?” the researcher explained.
In the other experiment, moviegoers were given five day old popcorn, some in medium size buckets,some in large buckets. The researcher found that moviegoers who had the larger buckets ate 53 percent more, despite its unpleasant taste. He believes that the distraction of the movie and hearing others eat the popcorn persuade people to keep eating.
The findings in other researches have shown that we tend to eat more when we use larger dishes, eat in front of the television, or dine with someone who eats a lot. Researchers of the lab advise a gradual approach in changing eating habits. People can cut a couple of hundred calories a day by doing things such as avoiding open food dishes at the office, using smaller serving bowls, sitting next to the slowest eater and being the last one to start eating.
28.What is the truth shown by the study
A.We eat more when the food is good.
B.People tend to eat a lot when they dine out.
C.Feeling depressed leads us to overeat.
D.Hunger is not the key factor in overeating.
29.What can we learn from the two experiments
A.People turn to more candies for more energy.
B.Office workers eat more candies due to visibility.
C.Moviegoers eat more popcorn because it is tasty.
D.People keep eating popcorn to enjoy the movie.
30.What is suggested in changing eating habits
A.Dining with slim persons. B.Eating while watching films.
C.Using smaller dishes. D.Starting eating earlier.
31.What is the purpose of the text
A.To display a research process. B.To instruct how to do research experiments.
C.To warn against overeating. D.To advise being a mindful eater.
D
Nowadays, there's lots of advice on how to give praise and positive comments to others, but few suggestions on how to receive the flattering(奉承) messages. Accepting praise can make many people feel like a fish out of water because even when we are proud of our achievements, we don't want to appear proud. This is exactly how I felt at my dad's birthday party.
Just a few days before, I received my university results; my parents were so proud of me. On arrival, every guest already knew my grades. As the party went on, dozens of people greeted me with warm, heartfelt congratulations. I was surrounded by so much unexpected praise! Concerned about stealing my dad's spotlight, I tried to turn the kind attention away from myself and mention the background. I joked that the professor must have been in a very good mood when she marked my paper, and that I was just “lucky”.
Few of us wish to appear vain (自负的). We may worry that our honor will cause envy (妒忌) from others. In the workplace, there's fear that praise might bring extra work and higher expectations. Now that your boss has seen you are a go getter,__they're going to pile on the pressure!
Looking back, the praise I received from the guests at the party was heartfelt. My degree hadn't helped them in any way so there was no duty for them to comment, but they still cared enough to say “well done”. Instead of ignoring the praise, I should comment on how kind they were for noticing, or how pleased I was with my achievements.
Another good choice is to “forward” praise—perhaps other people played a part in your success and deserve to share the attention. If you're still lost for words, a simple “thank you” is the best way to go. So, the next time you get the praise you deserve, don't hide your pride and try to enjoy the moment.
32.How do many people feel when accepting praise
A.Uneasy. B.Confused. C.Confident. D.Ashamed.
33.What was the author's reaction to the unexpected praise at the party
A.She ignored the remarks. B.She owed it to the professor.
C.She sincerely thanked the guests. D.She felt proud of her achievements.
34.What does the underlined word “go getter” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A.A proud person. B.A worried person.
C.An able person. D.A green eyed person.
35.What might be the author's purpose of writing the text
A.To warm people to keep honest. B.To share one of her big moments.
C.To show the importance of praise. D.To encourage people to enjoy praise.

So they only have the words, not the actions. __37__

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。
Everyone likes the beautiful Cinderella, but I like the ugly stepsister. The sidewalk was filled with shoppers as my mother and I hurried to the department store. I raised my neck for a look at the holiday window display, but at the age of six I was too small to see around the grown ups with their winter coats and packages. When at last we reached the store, I stood with my eyes widened. “Look, Mother,” I shouted, pressing my hands against the glass, “Cinderella.” Before my eyes was the most beautiful doll I had ever seen! She wore a fairy princess suit made of shining red silk. I knew if I lifted her skirt I would find her crystal (水晶) shoes. The tiny tiara (冠状头饰) fastened to her silky golden hair shone.
“If only she were mine,” I dreamed. “We'd have tea parties, share secrets and dance with a handsome prince.” But to my disappointment, my mother guided me away from the window, explaining that she and my father could not afford such an expensive doll. “But there will be a very special gift under the tree for you on Christmas morning, Madge,” she said. “I promise.” Later that week I leaned against Mother's sewing machine, watching the needle flash up and down. “Bet you don't know what this is!” she joked, holding up the cloth for me to see.“My Christmas doll!” I yelled. It was still in the early stages but I could make out the head, neck and body. “So much to my surprise!” Mother laughed as I danced around the room, already pretending Cinderella and I were at the ball. It wouldn't be long now.
My excitement grew with each passing day. Mother continued to work on the doll, and whenever I walked into the room she would hide it under a pillow. I could tell by her smile she was pleased with her progress. On Christmas morning I jumped out of bed, ran down the hall and quickly arrived at the living room where the Christmas tree was placed.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
