It was a cold winter afternoon before Christmas. My parents and I sat on the bench in Washington, D.C. Union Station, waiting for the train. Inside the waiting hall were many people.
A boy sat nearby. His worn jacket, pale face, dirty hands all seemed to tell me that he was homeless.
“He must be cold and hungry. Maybe I should help him," I said to myself.

The boy thanked them and opened the box with joy and care. Suddenly he stopped. In the direction to which he looked, I saw an old man in rags in a worn sweater, worn trousers and open shoes, entering the hall.
Putting the meal box aside, the boy stood and helped the old to his seat. He took off his jacket and covered if on the old man’s shoulders, saying," A gentleman brought me this warm meal but I just finished eating. I hate to waste good food. Can you help me out " He placed the still-warm meal box in the old man's hands without waiting for an answer.

What will astronauts eat when a space trip takes years “Lots of fresh vegetables,” says Dr. Janet Williams, whose team have spent the last 10 years learning how to grow plants in a space station. And it’s a good thing that she has already started her work, because space gardening can be really hard.
As usual, astronaut George White looked into the closed plant room. He planted the fast-growing seedlings, but couldn’t see any stems coming out. He opened the room and found the problem: the stems didn’t turn up and the roots didn’t go down. On Earth, gravity helps plants tell “up” from “down”. However, in a space station, there is almost no gravity.
Dr. Williams suggested a solution: give the plants more light, as plants also use sunlight to find their way. And it worked. When the plants had more light, the stems turned up and the roots went down.
Many plants died in the space station. Dr. Williams thought she knew why: the space plants were hungry for air. Plants live by taking up CO from the air. Since a plant uses it up in the air around, the plant needs moving air to bring more CO close to its surface! On Earth, air is always moving.
Dr. Williams tried a new greenhouse that had a fan to keep the air move. The plants loved it. They not only flowered but also produced more seeds. Using Dr. Williams’s method, astronaut George completed the first seed-to-seed experiment in space, making a space garden one step closer.
8. Why did Dr. Williams’s team try to grow plants in space
A. To make the space station more beautiful.
B. To provide fresh food for long space trips.
C. To sell vegetables to other space stations.
9. What problem did George White find when he opened the plant room
A. The plants grew too fast.
B. The plants didn’t grow in the right direction.
C. The plants produced no flowers.
10. Why did many plants die in the space station
A. There was too much light.
B. The temperature was too low.
C. The air was not moving enough.
11. Which of the following shows the structure of this passage
A. ①→②③→④⑤ B. ①②→③④→⑤ C. ①→②→③→④⑤
(注：①=第一段，②=第二段，③=第三段，④=第四段，⑤=第五段)
D

12. Why did Huang Wenxiu decide to help poor villagers

请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容回答问题。
Long ago, in ancient China, there was a story about the invention of silk. People believed that silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Leizu learned how to make cocoons into soft and strong cloth. This magic cloth became known as “silk”, and it was so valuable that it was called “China’s Gold”. Following the kings’ orders, the Chinese kept the secret of making silk for centuries.
But then, something amazing happened! During the Han Dynasty, the brave officer Zhang Qian traveled west as far as Central Asia and brought silk there. As years passed by, silk became so important that the trade road from Europe to China got its name—the Silk Road.
The Silk Road became a busy highway for traders who carried things across the mountains. From China, people sold silk and tea. In return, they received treasures such as spices (香料), gold and silver from the west. At the very beginning, it was mainly about trade and gradually it came to cover many other areas. For example, Chinese inventions like papermaking were spread to the West, while new ideas about math and science came to China.
Most importantly, the Silk Road helped different cultures learn from each other. Art, music and even language were shared along this ancient road. In places like the Dunhuang Grottoes (敦煌石窟) in China, you can see how art pieces combined (融合) Eastern and Western styles into something distinctive (独特的). It cannot be seen anywhere else.
The story of the Silk Road tells us how ________________________ through trade and ideas. Today, we remember the Silk Road as one of the greatest examples of cooperation and exchange (交流) in history. It shows us how important it is to learn about and respect each other’s traditions, and that different cultures can work together to create amazing things.
