第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
It is a cold, dark winter evening-the kind of night that can have runners struggling to find the encouragement to run out. But there will be none of the usual “shall-I-shan't-I ” dialogue going on in Sarah Donaghy's head, because tonight is Food Bank Run.
Donaghy, a teacher and the welfare officer for Fareham running club, organised the first Food Bank Run in February 2018. “The idea was that, instead of our usual training run, we'd fill backpacks with food to donate to the local food bank and run there, where volunteers would be waiting to receive it,” she says. Donaghy was expecting about 20 members to take part: “I lost count by the time I got to 70.”
Claire Johnson, the community team leader at the Waypoint Hub, which houses food bank, says, “It was an amazing and emotional experience to see so many runners arrive at our building, bringing much-needed supplies.” But it wasn't just the food bank that benefited from it. “The runners loved it,” says Donaghy. “The following week after the first run, they were all asking when we could do it again.”
A running equipment company, Runr, joined to help with publicity and event cooperation, creating a Food Bank Run website, complete with an interactive (交互式的) map of events. “Last year, more than 500 running groups, clubs, events and parkruns got involved, donating more than 77 tonnes of supplies to food banks in their communities,” says Craig Winter, one of the founders of Runr.
The event spreads a significant factor—joining with others in physical activity that has a real purpose. It is not “I must do this long run because I'm training for a marathon” or “I must exercise because I'm trying to lose weight”, but something greater. “I truly believe that running for a cause changes your view,” Donaghy says. “Yes, you could do it by entering a marathon and raising money for a charity, but there's something quite special about handing over food that's going to someone in your community who really needs it.”
21. What did runners do in the Food Bank Run
A. They performed their usual training. B. They prepared food for the volunteers.
C. They delivered food to the local food bank. D. They collected donations during the run.
22. How did Johnson feel about the first Food Bank Run
A. Appreciative. B. Puzzled. C. Worried. D. Curious.
23. What can we learn about Runr
A. It becomes popular online. B. It helps organize activities.
C. It designs the running route. D. It provides free running shoes.
24. What is the best title of the text
A. Advertise for a Club B. Run for a Good Cause
C. The Power of Running D. The Charm of Volunteering
B
Human beings are inborn for social connection—so much so that we think of even the most basic objects as having feelings or experiences. Social robots add a layer (层) to this. They are designed to make us feel like they're our friends.
Science writer Eve Herold is the author of the new book Robots and the People Who Love Them: Holding an to Our Humanity in an Age of Social Robots. It is about socially interactive robots or androids, often human-like in appearance and behavior; through Al, they are increasingly able to listen, chat, and learn. Herold points out many ways that present-day social robots can improve human lives, such as performing tasks for people who are ill, disabled, or in danger, such as soldiers on a battlefield.
But Herold also stares down the darker side of robots. She expresses concern that as robots progress, humans might forget that they're programmed and start seeing them as capable of real relationships. She fears that this could inspire people to prefer undemanding relationships with robots and not want to relate to other people.
She notes that while social robots may offer positive, social skill-building opportunities for children with autism (自闭症) or companionship for elderly patients with dementia (痴呆) , they may make others feel more lonely. “The thing that I can compare it to is people who are too addicted to social media and end up becoming separated from others because they're not interacting with real people in a real relationship,” she says.
“People who don't have enough social encouragement, they can actually lose what social skills they have because they're so used to this kind of result-free, easy, attractive relationship with a robot.”
25. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. Robots will replace humans. B. The book wins a big success.
C. The author has a social robot. D. Social robots can benefit humans.
26. What is Herold's concern about the use of robots
A. Robots may have human sense. B. Robots are easy to break down.
C. People will hate making friends. D. People may escape real connection.
27. What is this text
A. A short story. B. An introduction to a book.
C. A science fiction. D. A news report.
C
Across the country, October is National Financial Planning Month, a time when you might want to look back on your retirement statement or rethink investments (投资) for the new year. The month also serves as a good reminder to teach the ones you love a thing or two about money basics. Whether it's explaining the value of a dollar or delayed enjoyment for a beloved toy, you can explain to children where money comes from, how best to keep it, and the ways that you can use well-earned cash to shape the world we live in.
Financial literacy, simply put, is the know-how to prepare, track expenses, save, plan for retirement, and manage debt. Money-saving expert Andrea Woroch says it's never too early to start talking about finances, and it can be as simple as taking them shopping or doing everyday tasks around the house. “Your children learn from your habits and the way you spend or save and even talk about money will shape how your children manage money in the future, even if you don't realize it,” says Woroch.
Most people think that the easiest way to teach their kids about money is to let them watch what they do—from the convenience store to online shopping. But the right way is to practice being a role model of what you hope they (and you) would do when faced with money problems or opportunities.
Woroch says including kids in setting up a budget (预算) for an upcoming event can be a great learning experience. When you have to make a budget cut, think before you complain. Watch how you talk about sacrificing (牺牲) short-term pleasure for long-term gain.
If your family is doing well despite economic downturn, you can teach your kids to appreciate what they have and encourage them to help others in need. Ramirez, a senior advisor at Tend, suggests that parents “increase children's awareness about how money can benefit others, not just themselves, by encouraging them to raise money for a cause.” This is also a great way to develop their social awareness.
28. Why should kids have financial literacy
A. To avoid debts. B. To obtain happiness.
C. To become experts. D. To form a smart view towards money.
29. Which is suggested for parents to teach children financial literacy
A. Setting a good example. B. Opening an online store.
C. Asking them to shop alone. D. Making them solve money issues.
30. What does Ramirez like to see according to the last paragraph
A. Parents praise children's efforts. B. Parents donate money for charity.
C. Children save money for a cause. D. Children make money by themselves.
第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）
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。
When my three-year-old cousin didn't get his way and hit his mother in anger, there were immediate consequences (后果) : his father calmly and firmly made it clear that this behaviour was unacceptable, and he had to apologise. Then, he lost the honor of playing with his Christmas toys for the rest of the day. 31 His parents knew that this consequence would have an impact and was something they could carry out straight away.
The most important goal of discipline (管教) is teaching children and teenagers self-management and responsible decision-making. It is not about control but instead using positive discipline. When children know what will happen, they can make choices. Parents benefit, too, from having a plan of how they will respond to specific behaviour rather than reacting in anger.
32 Have a conversation to work through what happened in a particular situation, asking the young person how they made the decision and what the impact of their choices was. Teenagers are often unwilling to talk to parents, facing their parent's disappointment and requests for explanations. 33 The goal of this difficult conversation is to help the teenagers understand the impact of their behaviour.
Taking responsibility and repairing harm by making changes is a powerful consequence that teaches young people about the impacts of their behaviour on others. If an older child has hurt a friend's feelings, coaching them in talking it through and apologising. 34
35 And they can finally make wise choices and solve conflicts without force.
A. Sometimes, a discussion is needed.
B. This was a painful experience for the little boy!
C. It can be useless to focus on fixing the problem.
D. Therefore, it is very important that parents stay calm.
E. Typically, consequences can be thought of in three categories.
F. Those who were harmed feel heard, and relationships are repaired.
G. Overall, positive discipline aims to help children become responsible, independent, and kind.

Ethan was a young man living in a small town. He was a bright soul with dreams, but he was also trapped by the chains of fear and doubt.
Ethan worked at a small bookshop, yet deep within, he had a strong desire to become a painter. Every evening, as the setting sun painted the sky in orange and pink, Ethan would sit by his window, a blank canvas (油画布) before him. Yet, no stroke (笔画) graced the canvas. The fear of failure and the whispers of doubt prevented him from painting. “What if I'm not good enough ” he often thought.
One cold autumn evening, an unexpected visitor came knocking at Ethan's door-Mrs. Wilkins, an elderly well-known woman of wisdom. “Ethan,” she began gently, “I've noticed the light in your room night after night, and yet, I've seen no color grace the world from your hands. Why is that ”
Ethan sighed, the weight of his unspoken dreams heavy on his shoulders. He whispered, “I'm afraid that I'll never be good enough and that my work will never touch the hearts of others.”
Mrs. Wilkins smiled, a kind, understanding smile. “Ethan,” she said, drawing closer, “let me tell you a story of a young bird, much like yourself, afraid to leave its nest. The little bird was always scared at the thought of flight. Day after day, it watched other birds fly into the sky, while it remained where it was, full of fear. The bird feared the unknown, feared failure, and most of all, feared that its wings were not strong enough to carry it. But then, one day, a storm approached, and the little bird had no choice but to jump into the storm. It was not an easy journey; the winds were very strong, and the rain blinded its eyes. Yet, with each flap (拍打) of its wings, the bird realized that it was able to fly.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Ethan felt a sense of warmth and hope wash over him as Mrs. Wilkins spoke. That night, for the first time in many years, Ethan picked up his brush.
