Candles were burning bright, exciting my two-year-old son, Jack, who moved forward to blow them out. Jack's third birthday was still a few months away but ever since his dad Gary's big day earlier that year, my son hadn't stopped talking about celebrating his own. His older brothers Oliver, 6, and Josh, 10, were happy to sing the birthday song with him.
But, over time, I grew concerned that Jack wasn't well. My lovely boy was now a shadow of his former self. How could I ignore it, though doctors weren't too concerned
One day I was at work and shared my fears with a colleague. She comforted me and said it was safe to be careful. When I returned home later, I packed a bag and took Jack to hospital. In the hospital, I just couldn't shake the feeling that bad news was coming. My suspicions (怀疑) were confirmed. We were told he had a very rare form of cancer. Jack was going downhill rapidly. Gary and I took it in turns to stay with him in the hospital.“Your birthday's coming up,” I told Jack each day, hoping he could remember the times we had sung him happy birthday before.
“Jack's only option is a stem cell transplant (干细胞移植), and a brother or a sister might be the best chance you have,” a doctor told us. “He can have my head if he needs it!” Josh cried. Oliver wasn't as enthusiastic as his older brother, but it was a huge relief when he was confirmed as a match. Doctors were cautious about saying Oliver might save Jack's life in case it didn't work as planned. To their relief, the result was comforting. They were moved by Oliver's bravery.
Oliver, now seven, really did save his little brother and they're now closer than ever.“I didn't want to do it at the very beginning but at the end I kind of regretted feeling like that because now I know how important it was,” he said.
24.What mainly contributed to the earlier discovery of Jack's illness
A.Doctors' increasing concern.
B.Jack's discomfort after the party.
C.His mother's colleague's experience.
D.His mother's concern and responsibility.
25.Why did the author mention Jack's birthday in the hospital each day
A.To strengthen their memories.
B.To encourage him to survive.
C.To prepare him for his birthday.
D.To make them get closer to each other.
26.What can we infer about Oliver
A.He hesitated to donate his stem cells at first.
B.He had a bad relationship with his brothers.
C.He envied his mother's love for Jack.
D.He was braver than his older brother.
27.What can we learn from the text
A.It's never too late to fall in love. B.Magic always comes from belief.
C.Chance favors the prepared mind. D.Family is always your support.

A global citizen is someone who feels like they are a part of an emerging world community and someone who works to contribute to this society's values and beliefs. And global citizens see the world as a whole, value diversity and understand global issues.
Being a global citizen is far more than just collecting travel stories. It's about being aware of the larger world around you and knowing the importance of learning about communities other than your own. In this learning activity, you will conduct research and watch videos on global citizenship before reflecting on what it means to be part of an interconnected society.
Being a global citizen, outside of academic settings, you can embrace diversity and expand cultural awareness by introducing others to food, toys, music, and books from around the world. Creating additional opportunities to learn about diversity and inclusion (包容性) in everyday activities can promote inclusive behaviors and a global citizenship mindset!
Though traveling is a straightforward way to gain firsthand exposure to diverse cultures, it can be inaccessible. Fortunately, you don't need to plan a detailed or expensive vacation to an international destination to expand your worldview! Some travel activities allow you to discover the world around them without having to leave your desks. Additionally, try expanding your horizons by exploring neighborhoods of various heritages in your hometown! Visit your city's Chinatown, attend a cultural festival, or tour the museum to become absorbed in diverse traditions and customs.
Knowing a second language can undoubtedly be extremely helpful for engaging and communicating with people across cultures. Although achieving fluency can be difficult, any amount of exposure to a foreign language can be beneficial and rewarding.Through the process of learning a new language, you will begin to empathize with immigrants and other language learners.
28.What is a global citizen
A.Someone with a feeling of pride.
B.Someone with a desire for success.
C.Someone with a global perspective.
D.Someone with a spirit of teamwork.
29.What can we do as a global citizen
A.Develop your academic levels. B.Explore different cultures.
C.Learn to accept yourself. D.Collect travel stories.
30.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A.Getting to know the world at home.
B.Showing respect for diverse cultures.
C.Getting exposed to diverse cultures through long journeys.
D.Learning about the importance of communities.
31.What does the author encourage people to do in the last paragraph
A.Learn a foreign language.
B.Show sympathy for immigrants.
C.Communicate with foreigners often.
D.Gain fluency in a foreign language.
D
It is said that music is the food for one's soul and passion for many individuals. People want it during exercise, their work, and some folk wishes to have it even before sleeping. In particular, when you are around your friends, you want some delicious food in the combination of music.
Music increases energy, boosts confidence, reduces the state of feeling very sad and relaxes those who suffer from insomnia (失眠). Surprisingly, there is evidence suggesting that music enhances the verbal intelligence of children to comprehend words and explain their meanings. Therefore it may be concluded that you do not have to really abandon listening to music while studying as you fear you may lose focus. There are several types of music that actually help you dive deep into your subject. It is considered that music fixed at 60 beats in one minute can assist people in releasing out their stress and put their brain into ease and that certainly enhances your productivity.
Don Campbell, an expert on the power of music, wrote a book where he introduced the idea that classical music can prove to be an assisting tool for learning. He even said that classical music is a powerful catalyst (催化剂) to enhance the level of your productivity. The lack of words in classical music is possibly one of the reasons that this music is able to improve productivity and develop focus while you're studying. Words can distract you and engage you in the interpretation of meaning. It is said that if you are engaged in some writing work such as essay writing or your coursework assignment competition, this kind of music is helpful.
Everything that is natural suits human beings and puts their mind into a mode of relaxation. The cheerful singing of birds, the flow of streams and river, rain, etc. You can listen to tracks that have these natural sounds in them. Music that you can listen to while studying should be not too fast such as hip hop and rock music. Also, the volume should not be annoying for your nerves.
32.What can we infer from the first paragraph
A.Music lovers prefer to make friends.
B.People are closely connected with music.
C.Different people choose music accordingly.
D.Music can always feed one's soul and passion.
33.How does music help children
A.By managing their emotions well.
B.By changing their attitude towards life.
C.By avoiding the state of feeling depressed.
D.By improving the ability to learn a language.
34.Why does the author mention Don's book
A.To list the popularity of classical music.
B.To prove classical music to be a tool of relaxation.
C.To show classical music can improve learning productivity.
D.To show disagreement with previous findings on classical music.
35.What does the author suggest in the last paragraph
A.Listening to natural sounds.
B.Following your inner voice.
C.Keeping calm while enjoying music.
D.Listening to rock music sometimes.

Many of us have heard that it takes 21 days to form a habit in our lifestyle. Unfortunately, a study revealed that the true number is around 66 days, or over 2 months. 　36　 Here are some key tips to help you make continuous learning a habit in your life.
Start small. Make sure that you can reasonably complete the tasks that you set for yourself. They don't have to be large tasks. It might just be to read one article per day on a particular topic or cook 3 new dishes per week. You are more likely to continue with lifelong learning if you succeed in completing your goals. 　37　
Change and adjust. If something that you have arranged isn't working for you, you can change it. 　38　 For example, if you are assigned a task that doesn't seem to be helping you achieve your goals or is too difficult for you, change the task to something that is more suitable.
　39　 Friends that also participate in lifelong learning can motivate you, create a strong support system and make learning more enjoyable. You can learn new skills together, play games in order to learn or begin a new project as a group.
Make learning a priority. 　40　 So the desire has to come from within. Once you decide you want to make constant learning a habit, it is up to you to make it a priority in your life. Set learning goals, make a plan, and take action to keep yourself moving.
A.Find jobs that encourage learning.
B.This doesn't mean you should give up.
C.If you fall behind, you may lose motivation.
D.Surround yourself with other lifelong learners.
E.You are in charge of your own learning experience.
F.Few external forces are going to persuade you to learn.
G.So leave the TV, your phone and your dog in a separate room.

It was a bright and sunny morning. Daniel woke up and jumped out of bed, ready for a full day outside. He ran down the stairs and sat down at the kitchen table. His mom was making pancakes: Daniel's favorite. She made pancakes every Saturday morning.
“What do you want to do today ” she asked Daniel.
“I think I'm going to go exploring in our backyard,” he told her. “It's so nice outside!”
Daniel quickly ate up his pancakes and rushed upstairs to get dressed. He put on a red T-shirt and jeans.
“Alright, Mom, I'll be back later!”
“Don't go too far!” she told him.
When he opened the door, Daniel felt a rush of warm air. He smiled at the sun. Perfect hiking weather, he thought. Daniel loved his backyard. There were plenty of tall trees. If he walked far enough, he would reach a lake. When it was really warm outside, he could walk in the water to cool off. The water was always cool.
The leaves were just beginning to grow on the trees after the cold winter. Daniel wandered for a bit. He picked up a long stick and used it to clear a way through the forest.
Suddenly, Daniel saw something in the distance that wasn't a rock or a leaf. When he got closer, he knelt down to investigate. He found a small injured bird between the fallen leaves. He looked around and saw a bird's nest sitting on a branch. He carefully climbed up the trunk of the tree with the nest to get a closer look. The nest was empty, and he didn't see any birds around. Then, he ran back to his house.

M:What an awkward mistake! As a secretary, you shouldn't forget to keep the boss informed of all the important schedules.
W:I certainly know it, but this morning I didn't feel very well, so...
M:That's really a silly mistake. Any small mistake may cost our company great losses.
W:I understand what you mean. It makes me look incapable. I'm afraid I will be fired. How can I fix it
M:Apologize to him and give an explanation.
W:I hope our boss will forgive me. I really don't want to lose my job.
M:Relax. I believe he will take your condition into careful consideration.
W:You are so sweet.
(Text 9)
W:Professor Brown, which do you prefer, writing or teacher training
M:Well, I enjoy both very much. In fact, I wouldn't want to give up either. These days most of my time is spent on writing. I go to the university just two half days a week to work with graduate students.
W:What plans do you have for the future
M:Now that we have completed a textbook and its new CD program, we plan to develop more textbooks for other markets. People sometimes say to me, “You work too hard.” The truth is that I enjoy what I do, and I don't consider it to be work.
W:What do you like to do that's not education-related
M:I like playing the piano. I'm fortunate to have been born with the ability to play the piano by ear. If I remember a music piece, I can play it. I'm not sure how I do it, but I've had that ability since the age of twelve. I took music lessons from the age of six. I also write music. Although I'm a language teacher, I can't write words to songs. I have to turn to others for the words. Actually, I have more confidence in my book-writing ability than my song-writing ability.
(Text 10)
M:Leaves are nature's food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots. They take a gas called carbon dioxide from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and a kind of sugar. Oxygen is a gas in the air that we need to breathe. Plants use the kind of sugar as food for energy and as a building block for growing.
As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. This is how the trees “know” to begin getting ready for winter.
During winter,the trees will rest, and live off the food they stored during the summer. They begin to shut down their food-making factories. As the bright green fades away, we begin to see yellow and orange colors. Small amounts of these colors have been in the leaves all along. We just can't see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the greenness.
The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in the fall. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn cause the leaves to turn this kind of sugar into a red color. The brown color of trees like oaks is made from wastes left in the leaves.
It is the combination of all these things that makes the beautiful fall full of different kinds of colors we enjoy each year.

Candles were burning bright, exciting my two-year-old son, Jack, who moved forward to blow them out. Jack's third birthday was still a few months away but ever since his dad Gary's big day earlier that year, my son hadn't stopped talking about celebrating his own. His older brothers Oliver, 6, and Josh, 10, were happy to sing the birthday song with him.
But, over time, I grew concerned that Jack wasn't well. My lovely boy was now a shadow of his former self. How could I ignore it, though doctors weren't too concerned
One day I was at work and shared my fears with a colleague. She comforted me and said it was safe to be careful. When I returned home later, I packed a bag and took Jack to hospital. In the hospital, I just couldn't shake the feeling that bad news was coming. My suspicions (怀疑) were confirmed. We were told he had a very rare form of cancer. Jack was going downhill rapidly. Gary and I took it in turns to stay with him in the hospital.“Your birthday's coming up,” I told Jack each day, hoping he could remember the times we had sung him happy birthday before.
“Jack's only option is a stem cell transplant (干细胞移植), and a brother or a sister might be the best chance you have,” a doctor told us. “He can have my head if he needs it!” Josh cried. Oliver wasn't as enthusiastic as his older brother, but it was a huge relief when he was confirmed as a match. Doctors were cautious about saying Oliver might save Jack's life in case it didn't work as planned. To their relief, the result was comforting. They were moved by Oliver's bravery.
Oliver, now seven, really did save his little brother and they're now closer than ever.“I didn't want to do it at the very beginning but at the end I kind of regretted feeling like that because now I know how important it was,” he said.
24.What mainly contributed to the earlier discovery of Jack's illness
A.Doctors' increasing concern.
B.Jack's discomfort after the party.
C.His mother's colleague's experience.
D.His mother's concern and responsibility.
25.Why did the author mention Jack's birthday in the hospital each day
A.To strengthen their memories.
B.To encourage him to survive.
C.To prepare him for his birthday.
D.To make them get closer to each other.
26.What can we infer about Oliver
A.He hesitated to donate his stem cells at first.
B.He had a bad relationship with his brothers.
C.He envied his mother's love for Jack.
D.He was braver than his older brother.
27.What can we learn from the text
A.It's never too late to fall in love. B.Magic always comes from belief.
C.Chance favors the prepared mind. D.Family is always your support.
【答案与解析】
本文讲述了快满三周岁的Jack被诊断患有一种罕见的癌症,他只有通过干细胞移植才能存活,两个哥哥努力配合医生,最后Oliver挽救了弟弟的生命。
24.D　根据第2段(但是,随着时间的推移,我越来越担心Jack的身体状况。我那可爱的儿子现在完全变了样。虽然医生们都不太担心,但我怎么能视而不见呢 )可知,是Jack 母亲的爱和责任感促成了Jack疾病的早期发现。
25.B　根据第3段(Jack的身体状况正在迅速走下坡路。Gary和我轮流在医院陪他。“你的生日快到了,”我每天都对Jack说,希望他能记得我们以前给他唱过的生日快乐歌。)可知,Jack的母亲每天都提到他的生日是为了鼓励Jack活下来。
26.A　根据最后一段最后一句(“一开始我不想这么做,但最后我有点后悔,因为现在我知道这有多重要了,”他说。)可知,Oliver起初对捐献干细胞犹豫不决。
27.D　文章主要讲述了作者一家人努力挽救Jack的故事。
C
A global citizen is someone who feels like they are a part of an emerging world community and someone who works to contribute to this society's values and beliefs. And global citizens see the world as a whole, value diversity and understand global issues.
Being a global citizen is far more than just collecting travel stories. It's about being aware of the larger world around you and knowing the importance of learning about communities other than your own. In this learning activity, you will conduct research and watch videos on global citizenship before reflecting on what it means to be part of an interconnected society.
Being a global citizen, outside of academic settings, you can embrace diversity and expand cultural awareness by introducing others to food, toys, music, and books from around the world. Creating additional opportunities to learn about diversity and inclusion (包容性) in everyday activities can promote inclusive behaviors and a global citizenship mindset!
Though traveling is a straightforward way to gain firsthand exposure to diverse cultures, it can be inaccessible. Fortunately, you don't need to plan a detailed or expensive vacation to an international destination to expand your worldview! Some travel activities allow you to discover the world around them without having to leave your desks. Additionally, try expanding your horizons by exploring neighborhoods of various heritages in your hometown! Visit your city's Chinatown, attend a cultural festival, or tour the museum to become absorbed in diverse traditions and customs.
Knowing a second language can undoubtedly be extremely helpful for engaging and communicating with people across cultures. Although achieving fluency can be difficult, any amount of exposure to a foreign language can be beneficial and rewarding.Through the process of learning a new language, you will begin to empathize with immigrants and other language learners.
28.What is a global citizen
A.Someone with a feeling of pride.
B.Someone with a desire for success.

It is said that music is the food for one's soul and passion for many individuals. People want it during exercise, their work, and some folk wishes to have it even before sleeping. In particular, when you are around your friends, you want some delicious food in the combination of music.
Music increases energy, boosts confidence, reduces the state of feeling very sad and relaxes those who suffer from insomnia (失眠). Surprisingly, there is evidence suggesting that music enhances the verbal intelligence of children to comprehend words and explain their meanings. Therefore it may be concluded that you do not have to really abandon listening to music while studying as you fear you may lose focus. There are several types of music that actually help you dive deep into your subject. It is considered that music fixed at 60 beats in one minute can assist people in releasing out their stress and put their brain into ease and that certainly enhances your productivity.
Don Campbell, an expert on the power of music, wrote a book where he introduced the idea that classical music can prove to be an assisting tool for learning. He even said that classical music is a powerful catalyst (催化剂) to enhance the level of your productivity. The lack of words in classical music is possibly one of the reasons that this music is able to improve productivity and develop focus while you're studying. Words can distract you and engage you in the interpretation of meaning. It is said that if you are engaged in some writing work such as essay writing or your coursework assignment competition, this kind of music is helpful.
Everything that is natural suits human beings and puts their mind into a mode of relaxation. The cheerful singing of birds, the flow of streams and river, rain, etc. You can listen to tracks that have these natural sounds in them. Music that you can listen to while studying should be not too fast such as hip hop and rock music. Also, the volume should not be annoying for your nerves.
32.What can we infer from the first paragraph
A.Music lovers prefer to make friends.
B.People are closely connected with music.
C.Different people choose music accordingly.
D.Music can always feed one's soul and passion.
33.How does music help children
A.By managing their emotions well.
B.By changing their attitude towards life.
C.By avoiding the state of feeling depressed.
D.By improving the ability to learn a language.
34.Why does the author mention Don's book
A.To list the popularity of classical music.
B.To prove classical music to be a tool of relaxation.
C.To show classical music can improve learning productivity.
D.To show disagreement with previous findings on classical music.
35.What does the author suggest in the last paragraph
A.Listening to natural sounds.
B.Following your inner voice.
C.Keeping calm while enjoying music.
D.Listening to rock music sometimes.
【答案与解析】
本文主要说明了音乐的一些作用以及人们对音乐的观点。
32.B　第1段主要说明了音乐的重要性,人们离不开音乐。
33.D　根据第2段第2句可知,音乐提高了儿童对语言的理解和解释其含义的语言智力。
34.C　根据第3段第2句可知,作者提到Don的书是为了说明古典音乐是提高你的学习效率的一个强大的催化剂。
35.A　根据最后一段第1、2句可知,作者建议人们听大自然的声音,这能让人放松。

Many of us have heard that it takes 21 days to form a habit in our lifestyle. Unfortunately, a study revealed that the true number is around 66 days, or over 2 months. 　36　 Here are some key tips to help you make continuous learning a habit in your life.
Start small. Make sure that you can reasonably complete the tasks that you set for yourself. They don't have to be large tasks. It might just be to read one article per day on a particular topic or cook 3 new dishes per week. You are more likely to continue with lifelong learning if you succeed in completing your goals. 　37　
Change and adjust. If something that you have arranged isn't working for you, you can change it. 　38　 For example, if you are assigned a task that doesn't seem to be helping you achieve your goals or is too difficult for you, change the task to something that is more suitable.
　39　 Friends that also participate in lifelong learning can motivate you, create a strong support system and make learning more enjoyable. You can learn new skills together, play games in order to learn or begin a new project as a group.
Make learning a priority. 　40　 So the desire has to come from within. Once you decide you want to make constant learning a habit, it is up to you to make it a priority in your life. Set learning goals, make a plan, and take action to keep yourself moving.
A.Find jobs that encourage learning.
B.This doesn't mean you should give up.
C.If you fall behind, you may lose motivation.
D.Surround yourself with other lifelong learners.
E.You are in charge of your own learning experience.
F.Few external forces are going to persuade you to learn.
G.So leave the TV, your phone and your dog in a separate room.

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。
It was a bright and sunny morning. Daniel woke up and jumped out of bed, ready for a full day outside. He ran down the stairs and sat down at the kitchen table. His mom was making pancakes: Daniel's favorite. She made pancakes every Saturday morning.
“What do you want to do today ” she asked Daniel.
“I think I'm going to go exploring in our backyard,” he told her. “It's so nice outside!”
Daniel quickly ate up his pancakes and rushed upstairs to get dressed. He put on a red T-shirt and jeans.
“Alright, Mom, I'll be back later!”
“Don't go too far!” she told him.
When he opened the door, Daniel felt a rush of warm air. He smiled at the sun. Perfect hiking weather, he thought. Daniel loved his backyard. There were plenty of tall trees. If he walked far enough, he would reach a lake. When it was really warm outside, he could walk in the water to cool off. The water was always cool.
The leaves were just beginning to grow on the trees after the cold winter. Daniel wandered for a bit. He picked up a long stick and used it to clear a way through the forest.
Suddenly, Daniel saw something in the distance that wasn't a rock or a leaf. When he got closer, he knelt down to investigate. He found a small injured bird between the fallen leaves. He looked around and saw a bird's nest sitting on a branch. He carefully climbed up the trunk of the tree with the nest to get a closer look. The nest was empty, and he didn't see any birds around. Then, he ran back to his house.
注意:

One possible version:
“Mom, I found a bird that's hurt!” he told his mother as he ran through the door. She found a shoebox,and then she said,“Well,let's go and have a look.” Daniel led his mom back to the injured bird. His mom knelt down and looked carefully at it. “Let's try to save it!” she said. She gently picked up the bird and put it in the shoebox. Then she said,“We can take it to the animal hospital in town.”
They took the bird to the animal hospital. After a few days, the vet visited Daniel's house with the bird. It was healed. Daniel and his mom could hear the bird singing when they opened the door. The vet said,“The bird is ready to go back to its home in the trees.” Daniel was so excited. He looked at the bird and said merrily,“I'm going to name you Chirp!”
