①Taking a photo every day and then sharing it online improves your happiness. That’s what scientists found after studying a group of people who joined in the photo-a-day projects.
②In the projects, a group of volunteers aged from 20 to 60 were chosen by the scientists. They posted a photo every day on the Internet. Over a two-month period, the scientists recorded the photos taken, the words added to the photos, and how the volunteers felt.
③The scientists found that the act of taking photos and sharing daily photos helps the volunteers pay more attention to themselves. “I have a really busy job. But I said to myself, ‘No, I will stop to relax. I’ll take a photo of the insect sitting on my computer or something.’ Just taking a moment is very helpful,” a volunteer told the scientists.
④Looking at the photos gives the volunteers a feeling of purpose. “It encourages me out of the house sometimes when I could just sit on my chair with a cup of tea,” another volunteer said. And on the social side, opinions on the photos keep people connected with their friends and family, and even help some fight unhappiness. Besides, photo-a-day helps volunteers look back on their own life. “If I’m feeling down, it’s nice to look back and see good memories. You know, the photos I’ve taken will bring back lots of good memories,” said one of the volunteers.

Two years ago, Holmes decided to do some voluntary work. He volunteered to work as a barber. He chose to spend Saturday giving free haircuts to poor kids so that they could look cool. But he had a game rule. “The kids receive their free haircuts by reading a book to me,” Holmes said.
The idea was so popular that he continued it the first Tuesday of every month for the last two years. The kids would sit on the chair with a book and read aloud. If they had difficulty reading it, Holmes was there to help them. After the haircut, they would review the book just like in school.
“These kids are excited to learn,” said Holmes. “They want to open their minds.” Holmes, who had two sons aged three and four, believed that not every parent had the time to read with their kids. “I get it. You have four kids and you have two jobs. Sitting down and letting them read to you is the last thing you have time to do. You have to clean the house or cook dinner. So I say bring your kids in and let them read to me.
“There was a seven-year-old boy who tried his best to read his book, stuttering out words even though he didn’t have a stutter,” said Holmes. He let the boy take the book home and practice. “When the child came back a few days later, he read it with no problem. That encourages me.”
Holmes and his family have recently moved from Dubuque to a village in Chicago. When they got settled, he planned to go on with his role as the Storybook Barber. “Nowadays the world is full of violence,” he said. “But it’s safe for the kids to come to the barbershop and read books. They can get help from free reading.”
9. Why did Holmes spend Saturday giving haircuts
A. For some money. B. For making kids read.
C. For selling some books. D. For making friends with kids.
10. The third paragraph mainly tells us that ________.
A. it is difficult for Holmes to give free haircuts
B. it is necessary for Holmes to give free haircuts
C. parents aren’t clever enough to help their kids
D. parents don’t want to help their kids with their study
11. Why did Holmes let the boy take the book home and practice
A. Because he had difficulty reading it. B. Because he enjoyed reading the book.
C. Because he wanted to read to his mom. D. Because Holmes gave the book to him.
12. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Volunteering B. Cheap Reading C. A Village D. The Storybook Barber
【答案】BBAD
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了Holmes决定做一些志愿者活动，他免费为贫穷的孩子理发，但要求这些孩子必须为他读一本书，Holmes希望在充满暴力的社会中，为乐于阅读的孩子们提供避风港。
9. 细节理解题。根据“The kids receive their free haircuts by reading a book to me”可知，Holmes在周六理发的原因是为了让孩子们阅读。故选B。
10. 推理判断题。根据“You have four kids and you have two jobs.”及“You have to clean the house or cook dinner.”可推断出，免费理发对于Holmes而言是有必要的。故选B。
11. 推理判断题。根据“stuttering out words even though he didn’t have a stutter”可知，Holmes让男孩把书带回家练习是因为他在阅读上有困难。故选A。
12. 标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了理发师通过免费给孩子们理发来鼓励他们阅读的故事，因此本文的最佳标题为“故事书理发师”。故选D。
D

三、语篇填空（共10小题，每小题1分；满分10分）
阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空，使短文通顺、连贯。
Did you know that when you’re kind to others, it’s also good for yourself Even small acts of kindness can raise 31 (you)confidence and help you feel more connected to the people around you.
Kindness means doing something thoughtful(体贴的)for others without 32 (expect)anything in return. It can be a small and simple act, like holding a door open, or something that 33 (take)time and effort, like making a gift for your friend by hand. Kindness isn’t just something you do; it also means being caring and considerate(考虑周到)about other people’s 34 (feeling), as well as your own.
Scientists have discovered 35 when you’re kind to someone, your body is filled with chemicals that make you feel calmer, healthier and 36 (happy). When you volunteer for a charity or join a litter pick, for example, you feel part of a community. This can improve your self-esteem(自尊)and build friendships. Kindness is also something that spreads, like ripples(涟漪)in a pond. If you do a good deed for someone, they might 37 (inspire)to do the same.
Studies show that kindness is something that we learn and get better at with practice. So start 38 something simple and easy, like messaging a friend who you 39 (lost)contact(联系)with for a while. Try to do something you enjoy, while keeping in mind that you’re doing it for others, and see if you can turn kindness into 40 habit.
【答案】31. your 32. expecting 33. takes 34. feelings 35. that 36. happier 37. be inspired 38. with 39. have lost 40. a
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过举例说明了什么是善良，行善的种种收获，最后建议如何开始行善。
31. 句意：即使是小小的善举也能提升你的自信，帮助你更好地跟周围的人建立联系。confidence是名词，前面应用形容词来修饰，you的形容词性物主代词是your。故填your。
32. 句意：善良意味着为别人做一些贴心的事，而不期待任何回报。without是介词，后接动名词作宾语。expecting的动名词是expecting。故填expecting。
33. 句意：它可以是一个小而简单的动作，比如开一扇门，或者是一些需要时间或精力的事情，比如为你的朋友亲手制作一份礼物。由“can”可知句子是一般现在时，something是不定代词，后面是that引导的定语从句修饰something，从句中that指代先行词something作主语，则谓语动词也应用一般现在时态，不定代词作主语，动词应用其第三人称单数形式，即takes。故填takes。
34. 句意：善良不仅仅是你做的事情，它还意味着关心和体贴别人的感受，就像关心你自己的感受一样。由“other people’s”可知名词所有格后可带名词，动词feel的名词是feeling，“别人的感受”说明要用名词的复数形式。故填feelings。
35. 句意：科学家发现，当你善待他人时，你的体内充满了某些化学物质，它们会让你感到更平静、更健康和更快乐。discover是及物动词，后面可带that引导的宾语从句，来陈述科学家发现的内容。故填that。
36. 句意：科学家发现，当你善待他人时，你的体内充满了某些化学物质，它们会让你感到更平静、更健康和更快乐。根据“calmer, healthier”可知连词and后面连接的也应是形容词的比较级，happy的比较级是happier。故填happier。
37. 句意：如果你为别人做了一件好事，他们可能也会受到鼓励去做同样的事情。inspire sb. to do sth.表示“鼓励某人去做某事”，其被动语态为sb. be inspired to do sth.，句中的they作主语，说明他们是“被鼓励去做的”，因此应用其被动语态。又因情态动词might后面要带动词的原形。故填be inspired。
38. 句意：所以，从一些简单易行的事情开始吧，比如，和你已经有一段时间没有联系的朋友发个信息。start with sth.表示“以……作为开始”，符合句意。故填with。
39. 句意：所以，从一些简单易行的事情开始吧，比如，和你已经有一段时间没有联系的朋友发个信息。who引导的定语从句修饰名词a friend，for a while表示“有一会了”，所在的句子应用完成时，整篇文章的时态基调为现在时，因此从句中的谓语要用现在完成时，其结构为have/has done，lose的过去分词为lost。从句中的主语是you，即谓语应用have lost。故填have lost。
40. 句意：试着做一些你喜欢的事情，同时记住，你是为别人做的，看看你是否能把善良变成一种习惯。habit是可数名词的单数形式，说明前面应有一个表示“一”的不定冠词a或an，habit是辅音音素/h/开头的单词，因此不定冠词用a。故填a。
四、任务型阅读
Jane grew up with her grandma. She loves her grandma very much. One day, Jane received some bad news. Her grandma had a terrible disease. This made Jane very sad.
Jane’s grandma had a dream of travelling around the world. Jane wanted to help her realize it, but her grandma was very sick. One day, Jane had a great idea. If Grandma could not travel herself, maybe there was another way.

Through doing this, her grandma realized her dream of travelling around the world. (答案开放)
【解析】本文主要讲述了简在奶奶重病无法亲自环游世界时，通过网络征集照片的方式帮奶奶以特殊形式实现了环游世界的梦想。
41. 根据“Jane’s grandma had a dream of travelling around the world.”可知，奶奶的梦想是环游世界。故填She had a dream of travelling around the world./To travel around the world./Travelling around the world./She dreamed to travel around the world.
42. 根据“The next day, Jane went to tell people her grandma’s story on the Internet.”可知，简在互联网上讲述奶奶的故事。故填On the Internet./Online.

①Taking a photo every day and then sharing it online improves your happiness. That’s what scientists found after studying a group of people who joined in the photo-a-day projects.
②In the projects, a group of volunteers aged from 20 to 60 were chosen by the scientists. They posted a photo every day on the Internet. Over a two-month period, the scientists recorded the photos taken, the words added to the photos, and how the volunteers felt.
③The scientists found that the act of taking photos and sharing daily photos helps the volunteers pay more attention to themselves. “I have a really busy job. But I said to myself, ‘No, I will stop to relax. I’ll take a photo of the insect sitting on my computer or something.’ Just taking a moment is very helpful,” a volunteer told the scientists.
④Looking at the photos gives the volunteers a feeling of purpose. “It encourages me out of the house sometimes when I could just sit on my chair with a cup of tea,” another volunteer said. And on the social side, opinions on the photos keep people connected with their friends and family, and even help some fight unhappiness. Besides, photo-a-day helps volunteers look back on their own life. “If I’m feeling down, it’s nice to look back and see good memories. You know, the photos I’ve taken will bring back lots of good memories,” said one of the volunteers.
⑤So the scientists found out that photo-a-day is not just a simple practice. It makes people feel happy.

Two years ago, Holmes decided to do some voluntary work. He volunteered to work as a barber. He chose to spend Saturday giving free haircuts to poor kids so that they could look cool. But he had a game rule. “The kids receive their free haircuts by reading a book to me,” Holmes said.
The idea was so popular that he continued it the first Tuesday of every month for the last two years. The kids would sit on the chair with a book and read aloud. If they had difficulty reading it, Holmes was there to help them. After the haircut, they would review the book just like in school.
“These kids are excited to learn,” said Holmes. “They want to open their minds.” Holmes, who had two sons aged three and four, believed that not every parent had the time to read with their kids. “I get it. You have four kids and you have two jobs. Sitting down and letting them read to you is the last thing you have time to do. You have to clean the house or cook dinner. So I say bring your kids in and let them read to me.
“There was a seven-year-old boy who tried his best to read his book, stuttering out words even though he didn’t have a stutter,” said Holmes. He let the boy take the book home and practice. “When the child came back a few days later, he read it with no problem. That encourages me.”
Holmes and his family have recently moved from Dubuque to a village in Chicago. When they got settled, he planned to go on with his role as the Storybook Barber. “Nowadays the world is full of violence,” he said. “But it’s safe for the kids to come to the barbershop and read books. They can get help from free reading.”
9. Why did Holmes spend Saturday giving haircuts
A. For some money. B. For making kids read.
C. For selling some books. D. For making friends with kids.
10. The third paragraph mainly tells us that ________.
A. it is difficult for Holmes to give free haircuts
B. it is necessary for Holmes to give free haircuts
C. parents aren’t clever enough to help their kids
D. parents don’t want to help their kids with their study
11. Why did Holmes let the boy take the book home and practice
A. Because he had difficulty reading it. B. Because he enjoyed reading the book.
C. Because he wanted to read to his mom. D. Because Holmes gave the book to him.
12. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Volunteering B. Cheap Reading C. A Village D. The Storybook Barber

Did you know that when you’re kind to others, it’s also good for yourself Even small acts of kindness can raise 31 (you)confidence and help you feel more connected to the people around you.
Kindness means doing something thoughtful(体贴的)for others without 32 (expect)anything in return. It can be a small and simple act, like holding a door open, or something that 33 (take)time and effort, like making a gift for your friend by hand. Kindness isn’t just something you do; it also means being caring and considerate(考虑周到)about other people’s 34 (feeling), as well as your own.
Scientists have discovered 35 when you’re kind to someone, your body is filled with chemicals that make you feel calmer, healthier and 36 (happy). When you volunteer for a charity or join a litter pick, for example, you feel part of a community. This can improve your self-esteem(自尊)and build friendships. Kindness is also something that spreads, like ripples(涟漪)in a pond. If you do a good deed for someone, they might 37 (inspire)to do the same.
Studies show that kindness is something that we learn and get better at with practice. So start 38 something simple and easy, like messaging a friend who you 39 (lost)contact(联系)with for a while. Try to do something you enjoy, while keeping in mind that you’re doing it for others, and see if you can turn kindness into 40 habit.
