Last term, I joined the Book Care Club at our school. It is a club that helps to repair old books and send them to children in poor areas. I have got a lot from the 1 work I did with the club.
At first, I only knew that sharing books was a good thing, but I didn’t know 2 to do to help. Once, we had an activity where we collected old books from students and repaired them. I was 3 to see that many books were broken but still very useful. We spent a whole afternoon gluing pages, fixing covers and cleaning the books. When we finished, all the books looked new again. I felt so proud of 4 .
Another time, we volunteered to 5 the kids in a village primary school how to read better. We prepared interesting reading games and story-telling activities for them. When they told me they fell in love with reading, I was full of happiness. I have learnt that even small actions can make a big difference.
I 6 in the club for half a year now. Doing this work 7 my life more meaningful. I am able to see the world beyond my own life and 8 more about the needs of others. It’s not just about fixing books; it’s about bringing light to the kids’ world.
When I do these things, I feel like I 9 something that truly matters. I will keep 10 as a volunteer in the future, and ask more of my friends to join us.
1．A．volunteer B．teaching C．study D．sports
2．A．when B．where C．what D．why
3．A．happy B．surprised C．excited D．relaxed
4．A．itself B．yourself C．ourselves D．myself
5．A．teach B．ask C．invite D．catch
6．A．am B．was C．have been D．will be
7．A．make B．makes C．made D．has made
8．A．care B．to care C．caring D．cared
9．A．build B．am building C．built D．have built
10．A．work B．works C．working D．worked
【答案】
1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．A 6．C 7．B 8．A 9．B 10．C
【导语】本文讲述了作者加入学校图书关爱俱乐部，通过志愿修书、支教等活动，收获成长与感悟的经历。
1．句意：我从俱乐部做的志愿者工作中收获了很多。
根据上文，作者加入的是Book Care Club，从事的是修缮旧书、捐赠书籍的志愿活动，volunteer符合语境。teaching教学、study学习、sports运动，均与文章主题不符。
2．句意：起初，我只知道分享书籍是件好事，但不知道该做些什么来帮忙。
what to do是固定结构，表示“做什么”，what作do的宾语。when何时、where何地、why为何，均不符合“不知道做什么来帮忙”的语义。
3．句意：看到很多书破损但仍然很有用，我感到很惊讶。
作者原本没想到会有这么多破损但仍有价值的书，surprised“惊讶的”符合语境。happy开心的、excited兴奋的、relaxed放松的，均无法体现看到大量破损书籍时的意外感。
4．句意：我为自己感到非常自豪。
句子主语是I，对应的反身代词是myself。itself它自己、yourself你自己、ourselves我们自己，均与主语不匹配。
5．句意：还有一次，我志愿去教乡村小学的孩子们如何更好地阅读。
根据后文“how to read better”，teach符合语境。ask要求、invite邀请、catch抓住均与“教孩子阅读”的语义不符。
6．句意：我已经在这个俱乐部待了半年了。
时间状语“for half a year”是现在完成时的标志，表示从过去持续到现在的状态，主语是I，用have been。am一般现在时、was一般过去时、will be一般将来时，均不符合时态要求。
7．句意：做这份工作让我的生活更有意义。
主语Doing this work是动名词短语，作主语时谓语动词用单数；此处描述客观事实，用一般现在时makes更符合语境。make原形、made一般过去时、has made现在完成时，均不符合此处时态要求。
8．句意：我能够看到自己生活之外的世界，并且更多地关心他人的需求。
and连接并列结构，与am able to see对应，此处用动词原形care，构成be able to do sth.结构。to care不定式、caring现在分词、cared过去式/过去分词，均不符合并列结构要求。
9．句意：当我做这些事时，我感觉自己正在做一些真正有意义的事。
feel like后接从句时，结合语境“做这些事的时候，正在创造价值”，用现在进行时am building更贴合“当下正在做”的状态。build原形、built过去式/过去分词、have built现在完成时，均不符。
10．句意：未来我会继续做一名志愿者，并邀请更多朋友加入我们。
keep doing sth.表示“持续做某事”，因此用working。work原形、works第三人称单数、worked过去式/过去分词，均不符合固定结构。
二、阅读理解（共两节，20 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 40 分）
第一节（共 16 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 32 分）
请阅读下列语篇，从每小题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Have you ever heard about Black Friday and Cyber Monday Surely, they are all about finding the best deals on holiday gifts for yourself and family members. And have you heard about Giving Tuesday __①__ Here is something about it!
Every year, Giving Tuesday is celebrated on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, which encourages people to help those in need by making financial (财务的) donations or doing good in their local community. The “Global Day of Giving” was started in 2012 by New York City nonprofit 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation.
Unlike Black Friday, Giving Tuesday serves a more altruistic (利他的) purpose. __②__ In 2019, many Giving Tuesday social media campaigns worldwide helped raise an amazing $1.9 billion from 27 million donors! Over the past five years, many higher education institutions have also been using the Tuesday after Thanksgiving to ask alumni (校友) for donations. In 2019, the University of Michigan, which calls it Blueday, received 5887 gifts totalling over $4 million, while Pennsylvania State University raised $710,000 to benefit over 85 University programs. __③__
Though donating money certainly helps, there are many other ways to support the great cause, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. You can video tutor (辅导) kids struggling with online learning, or team up with an adult to get groceries (食品杂货) or medications for an elderly neighbour. __④__ Also, call on your peers to help you with a service project that addresses an issue close to your heart, or pick one from the several ideas suggested on the Giving Tuesday website. You can also donate your gently-used clothes and toys to local shelters, or mail a handwritten note to a grandparent or a friend you miss seeing.

【导语】本文主要介绍了给予星期二(Giving Tuesday)：它在感恩节后的第一个周二，是一个鼓励人们捐款、做善事的全球性公益节日。文中还列举了它的筹款成果，并给出了多种参与公益的方式。
11．文章开篇以大家熟知的“黑色星期五(Black Friday)”和“网络星期一(Cyber Monday)”这两个购物节为引子，引出本文主题给予星期二(Giving Tuesday)，属于 “提及熟悉事物” 的开篇方式。
12．插入句意为“该运动在第一年就为慈善机构筹集了近1000万美元的资金，此后情况更是不断好转”。②处前一句“Unlike Black Friday, Giving Tuesday serves a more altruistic purpose (利他的) .”点明Giving Tuesday的利他属性，后一句“In 2019… raise an amazing $1.9 billion from 27 million donors!”给出2019年的筹款数据。插入句放在②处，完美衔接了筹款成果的时间线，上下文连贯。
13．根据最后一段可知，给予星期二除了捐款还有许多别的公益方式，如辅导网课、帮邻居采购、志愿活动、捐赠衣物等，说明该节日为公众提供了更多帮助他人的思路。
14．全文围绕给予星期二展开，介绍了它的起源、时间、目的、筹款成果和参与方式，核心是对该节日的介绍，故“关于给予星期二的介绍”最适合作为本文的标题。

Do you ever feel like your thoughts are going around in circles One minute, you’re thinking about your homework. The next minute, you’re thinking about your plans for the weekend.
Is it possible for us to slow down our thoughts or even stop them completely It depends on your definition (定义) of “thinking”, according
to Michael Halassa, a researcher at MIT, US. We basically go through each day in one of two states-we either realize that we’re thinking or we don’t. Our brains won’t stop thinking completely until we die.
“The brain never actually stops thinking in a broader sense. Most thoughts are actually in the background (后台) without us noticing them and there’s not really a way to turn these things off.” Halassa said. Human brains can unconsciously process (无意识地处理) about 11 million pieces of information per second, according to Forbes.
You can compare this to how a computer works. Even when you aren’t using your computer while it’s turned on, it is still running operations “in the background”. Your computer, much like your brain, is constantly “thinking”, even if you’re not actively using it.
Some researchers have referred to this as “thought-chatter”. It describes the random (胡乱的) thoughts that come in and out of our mind very quickly at different times during the day, according to Steve Taylor, a psychology lecturer.
Some thought-chatter can be enjoyable, such as daydreaming. Albert Einstein came up with his famous theory of relativity (相对论) while daydreaming at work. But too much thought-chatter can make us feel too anxious or worried, Taylor said. Meditation (冥想) can help us clean up some of this thought-chatter.
15．What happens to you when “your thoughts are going around in circles”
A．You cannot stop thinking about past events.
B．You are thinking about one thing repeatedly.
C．You are thinking about one thing after another.
16．What does Paragraph 4 try to prove (证明)
A．Human brains are thinking all the time.
B．Computer can think like a human brain.
C．Human brains work faster than computers.
17．What do we know about thought-chatter
A．It can make us smarter.
B．Meditation can make it less.
C．It refers to the background noises we hear.
18．Which of the following can be the best title for this passage
A．How to think actively.
B．Busy working human brains
C．Differences between human brains and computers.
【答案】15．C 16．A 17．B 18．B
【导语】本文主要讲述了人类大脑无时无刻不在思考的特点，介绍了“思绪乱转”“思维絮语”等相关概念，并说明了冥想对梳理思绪的作用。
15．第一段指出“Do you ever feel like your thoughts are going around in circles One minute, you’re thinking about your homework. The next minute, you’re thinking about your plans for the weekend.”，当“思绪绕圈”时，你会一件事接着一件事地想，思绪不停切换。
16．第四段用电脑后台运行作类比，说明“Your computer, much like your brain, is constantly ‘thinking’, even if you’re not actively using it.”，核心是证明人类大脑始终在思考，哪怕我们没有主动使用它。
17．最后一段指出“But too much thought-chatter can make us feel too anxious or worried, Taylor said. Meditation can help us clean up some of this thought-chatter.”，冥想可以帮助减少思维絮语。
18．全文围绕“人类大脑无时无刻不在思考”展开，介绍了大脑的后台思维、思维絮语等内容，核心是说明人类大脑始终处于忙碌工作的状态。
C
Many users from the US joined Xiaohongshu in January, and Chinese users jokingly asked them to pay a “cat tax (猫税)” by sharing a photo of their cats. In return, Chinese users would send the pictures of their own cats. After looking at hundreds of cat photos, some people noticed something interesting: The cats posted by Chinese users were rounder than those shared by American users. But why
According to the website Furrbby, one key reason is the living environment. In China, many families live in high-rise apartments. To keep their cats safe, owners usually keep them inside the house. However, many American homes have larger living spaces and backyards, so cats can climb and play here and there.
Cultural differences may also play a role, reported Inf News. In Chinese culture, roundness means unity (团结) and perfection, while Americans value an adventurous (冒险的) spirit. So they encourage their pets to run around and stay active.
Family influence is another reason. “My parents always show their love by making delicious food for me, so I treat my cat the same way,” explained a Chinese user from Heilongjiang.
The difference in cat body shapes between China and the US shows cultural differences between the two countries. Whether they are a fit American cat or a round Chinese cat, as long as they are healthy, that’s what matters most.
19．Where do Chinese keep cats according to website Furrbby
A．In the house. B．In the backyard. C．In the park. D．In the box.
20．Where can the underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 “in return” be put
A．When we smile to others, we get a smile ________.
B．Helen didn’t order coffee today. ________, she drank some tea.
C．We need to keep hope alive, ________ we are in a difficult time.
D．Everything is possible ________ we work hard enough.
21．According to the article, what are the reasons for different shapes of cats
①photo-taking skill ②living environment ③cultural difference ④family influence
A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④
22．What is the main purpose of this passage
A．To explain some differences in raising cats between the US and China.
B．To encourage people in different countries to keep more cats if possible.
C．To compare the different sizes and colors of cats in the US and China.
D．To show different living environments for cats in the US and China.
【答案】19．A 20．A 21．D 22．A
【导语】本文讲述了中美小红书用户晒猫时，发现中国猫咪普遍比美国猫咪更圆的现象，从居住环境、文化差异、家庭影响三个方面分析了该体型差异产生的原因，指出这一差异背后也体现了中美两国的文化不同，强调只要猫咪健康就是最重要的。
19．第二段Furrbby网站的内容“According to the website Furrbby…To keep their cats safe, owners usually keep them inside the house.”，指出中国养宠人为了猫的安全，通常把猫养在室内，直接得出答案。
20．划线短语前句“asked them to pay a ‘cat tax (猫税)’ by sharing a photo of their cats”提示，划线短语in return意思是“作为回报”。A句“我们对他人微笑，作为回报我们也会收获微笑”语义通顺，符合短语含义。B需要表转折的词（反而），C需要表让步的连词（即使），D需要表条件的连词（如果），都不符合。
21．第二段到第四段“one key reason is the living environment…Cultural differences may also play a role…Family influence is another reason.”，明确提到三个差异原因：居住环境、文化差异、家庭影响，因此②③④正确。
22．全文从“中国猫咪比美国猫咪更圆”的现象切入，解释了中美两国养猫的不同差异，对应A选项。
D
Crossing cultures means meeting and understanding different ways of life. Every country has its special customs in greeting, eating and communicating.
In Japan, people usually bow to show respect. The longer and deeper the bow is, the more respect they express. In the USA, people usually shake hands and smile when meeting for the first time. In some Arab countries, people may stand closer while talking, but in Western countries, people usually keep a certain distance.
Table manners also differ greatly. In China, it’s polite to leave a little food to show you are full. But in many Western countries, finishing all food means you like it very much.
Understanding these differences helps us communicate better and avoid misunderstanding. When we respect each other’s cultures, we can make friends easily around the world.
23．What do Japanese people usually do to show respect
A．Shake hands. B．Bow.
C．Kiss cheeks. D．Laugh loudly.
24．In some Arab countries, what do people often do while talking
A．Stand far away. B．Stand close to each other.
C．Keep silent. D．Look away.

A．We should laugh at strange customs. B．Cultural differences cause no trouble.
C．Understanding cultures helps communication. D．All countries have the same table manners.
【答案】23．B 24．B 25．C 26．C
【导语】本文主要介绍了不同国家在问候、交流及餐桌礼仪上的文化差异，并指出理解这些差异有助于更好地沟通和避免误解。
23．文中第二段第一句提到 “In Japan, people usually bow to show respect.”，因此日本人通过鞠躬表示尊重。
24．文中第二段第四句提到 “In some Arab countries, people may stand closer while talking”，所以在某些阿拉伯国家，阿拉伯人交谈时会站得较近。
25．文中第三段最后一句提到 “But in many Western countries, finishing all food means you like it very much.”，吃光食物代表很喜欢这道菜。
26．文章最后一段点明主旨为 “Understanding these differences helps us communicate better and avoid misunderstanding.”，即了解文化差异有助于更好地交流。

53．句意：我真幸运啊！这是感叹句How+形容词+主语+谓语!的结构，需要用形容词。luck是名词，其形容词形式lucky符合语境。
54．句意：经历这件事后，我明白了学习一些生活技能的重要性。the+名词+of是固定结构，表示 “……的……”，important是形容词，其名词形式importance符合语境。
55．句意：我希望能拥有和叔叔一样的能力，在别人遇到麻烦时帮助他们。when引导的时间状语从句，主语someone是第三人称单数，句子用一般现在时表示常态，get into trouble是固定搭配“陷入麻烦”，因此get变为第三人称单数gets。

Have you ever heard about Black Friday and Cyber Monday Surely, they are all about finding the best deals on holiday gifts for yourself and family members. And have you heard about Giving Tuesday __①__ Here is something about it!
Every year, Giving Tuesday is celebrated on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, which encourages people to help those in need by making financial (财务的) donations or doing good in their local community. The “Global Day of Giving” was started in 2012 by New York City nonprofit 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation.
Unlike Black Friday, Giving Tuesday serves a more altruistic (利他的) purpose. __②__ In 2019, many Giving Tuesday social media campaigns worldwide helped raise an amazing $1.9 billion from 27 million donors! Over the past five years, many higher education institutions have also been using the Tuesday after Thanksgiving to ask alumni (校友) for donations. In 2019, the University of Michigan, which calls it Blueday, received 5887 gifts totalling over $4 million, while Pennsylvania State University raised $710,000 to benefit over 85 University programs. __③__
Though donating money certainly helps, there are many other ways to support the great cause, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. You can video tutor (辅导) kids struggling with online learning, or team up with an adult to get groceries (食品杂货) or medications for an elderly neighbour. __④__ Also, call on your peers to help you with a service project that addresses an issue close to your heart, or pick one from the several ideas suggested on the Giving Tuesday website. You can also donate your gently-used clothes and toys to local shelters, or mail a handwritten note to a grandparent or a friend you miss seeing.

Do you ever feel like your thoughts are going around in circles One minute, you’re thinking about your homework. The next minute, you’re thinking about your plans for the weekend.
Is it possible for us to slow down our thoughts or even stop them completely It depends on your definition (定义) of “thinking”, according
to Michael Halassa, a researcher at MIT, US. We basically go through each day in one of two states-we either realize that we’re thinking or we don’t. Our brains won’t stop thinking completely until we die.
“The brain never actually stops thinking in a broader sense. Most thoughts are actually in the background (后台) without us noticing them and there’s not really a way to turn these things off.” Halassa said. Human brains can unconsciously process (无意识地处理) about 11 million pieces of information per second, according to Forbes.
You can compare this to how a computer works. Even when you aren’t using your computer while it’s turned on, it is still running operations “in the background”. Your computer, much like your brain, is constantly “thinking”, even if you’re not actively using it.
Some researchers have referred to this as “thought-chatter”. It describes the random (胡乱的) thoughts that come in and out of our mind very quickly at different times during the day, according to Steve Taylor, a psychology lecturer.
Some thought-chatter can be enjoyable, such as daydreaming. Albert Einstein came up with his famous theory of relativity (相对论) while daydreaming at work. But too much thought-chatter can make us feel too anxious or worried, Taylor said. Meditation (冥想) can help us clean up some of this thought-chatter.
15．What happens to you when “your thoughts are going around in circles”
A．You cannot stop thinking about past events.
B．You are thinking about one thing repeatedly.
C．You are thinking about one thing after another.
16．What does Paragraph 4 try to prove (证明)
A．Human brains are thinking all the time.
B．Computer can think like a human brain.
C．Human brains work faster than computers.
17．What do we know about thought-chatter
A．It can make us smarter.
B．Meditation can make it less.
C．It refers to the background noises we hear.
18．Which of the following can be the best title for this passage
A．How to think actively.
B．Busy working human brains
C．Differences between human brains and computers.

Many users from the US joined Xiaohongshu in January, and Chinese users jokingly asked them to pay a “cat tax (猫税)” by sharing a photo of their cats. In return, Chinese users would send the pictures of their own cats. After looking at hundreds of cat photos, some people noticed something interesting: The cats posted by Chinese users were rounder than those shared by American users. But why
According to the website Furrbby, one key reason is the living environment. In China, many families live in high-rise apartments. To keep their cats safe, owners usually keep them inside the house. However, many American homes have larger living spaces and backyards, so cats can climb and play here and there.
Cultural differences may also play a role, reported Inf News. In Chinese culture, roundness means unity (团结) and perfection, while Americans value an adventurous (冒险的) spirit. So they encourage their pets to run around and stay active.
Family influence is another reason. “My parents always show their love by making delicious food for me, so I treat my cat the same way,” explained a Chinese user from Heilongjiang.
The difference in cat body shapes between China and the US shows cultural differences between the two countries. Whether they are a fit American cat or a round Chinese cat, as long as they are healthy, that’s what matters most.
19．Where do Chinese keep cats according to website Furrbby
A．In the house. B．In the backyard. C．In the park. D．In the box.
20．Where can the underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 “in return” be put
A．When we smile to others, we get a smile ________.
B．Helen didn’t order coffee today. ________, she drank some tea.
C．We need to keep hope alive, ________ we are in a difficult time.
D．Everything is possible ________ we work hard enough.
21．According to the article, what are the reasons for different shapes of cats
①photo-taking skill ②living environment ③cultural difference ④family influence
A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④
22．What is the main purpose of this passage
A．To explain some differences in raising cats between the US and China.
B．To encourage people in different countries to keep more cats if possible.
C．To compare the different sizes and colors of cats in the US and China.
D．To show different living environments for cats in the US and China.
D
Crossing cultures means meeting and understanding different ways of life. Every country has its special customs in greeting, eating and communicating.
In Japan, people usually bow to show respect. The longer and deeper the bow is, the more respect they express. In the USA, people usually shake hands and smile when meeting for the first time. In some Arab countries, people may stand closer while talking, but in Western countries, people usually keep a certain distance.
Table manners also differ greatly. In China, it’s polite to leave a little food to show you are full. But in many Western countries, finishing all food means you like it very much.
Understanding these differences helps us communicate better and avoid misunderstanding. When we respect each other’s cultures, we can make friends easily around the world.
23．What do Japanese people usually do to show respect
A．Shake hands. B．Bow.
C．Kiss cheeks. D．Laugh loudly.
24．In some Arab countries, what do people often do while talking
A．Stand far away. B．Stand close to each other.
C．Keep silent. D．Look away.
25．In many Western countries, what does finishing all food mean
A．You are still hungry. B．You dislike the food.
C．You enjoy the food. D．You want more.
26．What can we learn from the passage
A．We should laugh at strange customs. B．Cultural differences cause no trouble.
C．Understanding cultures helps communication. D．All countries have the same table manners.
