Just like Chinese, Westerners give gifts on many occasions, such as on birthdays of good friends, at Christmas and some other holidays. Of course, people think gifts are always welcome, but there is no need to exchange gifts at any time. They exchange gifts only among good friends.
Usually when a close friend invites you to dinner, you needn’t bring a gift except on special occasions, for example, when you are going to be a weekend guest. If you wish to bring something, the gifts should always be small, simple and cheap. You may bring some sweets or some small toys for the children. You may bring a book, some flowers, or a bottle of wine for the host. If you want to make your gifts special, you can choose to bring some Chinese tea, Chinese paintings, Chinese paper cuts or other things like that, or you can cook a Chinese dish and bring it with you.
Westerners prefer to open a gift at once and admire it. They would thank you and make some comments about the gift’s beauty so that you know they like your gift very much.
29. Among whom do Westerners usually exchange gifts
A．Strangers. B．Good friends. C．Colleagues. D．Neighbors.
30. What should the gifts be like if you wish to bring something
A．Small, simple and expensive.
B．Big, beautiful and expensive.
C．Big, simple and expensive.
D．Small, simple and cheap.
31. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A．When to give gifts in western countries.
B．What to bring to western friends.
C．How to open gifts properly.
D．Where to buy special gifts.
32. What can we learn from the passage
A．Westerners always give expensive gifts.
B．You must bring a gift when invited to dinner.
C．Westerners like to show their love for the gift directly.
D．Chinese gifts are never popular in Western countries.

We know that volunteering is a chance to serve others and give back to the community, but we might not see how it influences us and our lives. I would like to say that volunteering can be more than just a duty, but it is, in fact, good for you. Here are the reasons.
You will learn about yourself. You will experience challenges and face hard problems when serving the community. In a situation that is new to you, it is possible for you to learn what you like and dislike about a certain job. You may also learn about your ability and what you need to improve.
You will learn new skills. The great news about volunteering is that, because they don’t need to pay you, most places will take just anyone! By giving some of your time, you are able to learn new skills that may otherwise take money and time to learn. Volunteering is a great way to perfect the skills you have and learn something new.
You will make more friends. When you decide to volunteer for something you are interested in, the people around you will probably share the same interest. As all the volunteers work towards a common goal, you will start to build a unique relationship that might not be found anywhere else.
In short, volunteering brings us endless benefits. It helps us know ourselves better, develop useful skills and build true friendships. It makes us more responsible and kind. All in all, volunteering is a meaningful experience that can make our lives brighter and more valuable.
33. Which is NOT a benefit of volunteering mentioned in the passage
A．Learning new skills.
B．Making more friends.
C．Making a lot of money.
D．Knowing yourself better.
34. The underlined word “perfect” in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A．improve B．forget C．change D．show
35. What’s the structure of the passage
A．①/②③④/⑤ B．①②③/④/⑤ C．①/②/③④⑤ D．①②/③④/⑤
36. What can we infer from the passage
A．Volunteering is only for young people.
B．Volunteers never face difficulties.
C．You must work full-time as a volunteer.
D．Volunteering helps you grow personally.

I am Jim Hawkins. My story began many years ago when my father worked at the Admiral Benbow inn. One day a tall man with a scar (伤疤) on his face arrived. He opened the door of the inn, singing the song I know so well:
“Fifteen men on the dead man’s chest—Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!”
“A glass of rum,” he said when he came inside.
“This is a pleasant inn,” he said. “Do you have many customers ”
“Not many,” my father answered. “Well, this is the place for me. You can call me ‘captain’,” he said. Then he asked a man to carry his large sailor’s chest (水兵的箱子) to his room. “I’m a simple man,” he told my father. “Rum and bacon (培根) and eggs is all I want. Here are four gold coins to start. Tell me when I have to pay more.”
During the day he went to the cliffs (悬崖) with his telescope and in the evening he sat by the fire drinking rum and water. He asked about sailors every day. We soon understood that he wanted to keep away from them. When a sailor visited the inn, the captain was always very quiet. One day he asked me, “If you see a sailor with one leg, tell me as soon as he arrives.”
When the captain drank too much rum, he sang sea songs and told the other customers terrible stories about his violent (暴力的) life at sea.
He stayed month after month, but he didn’t give my father any more money. My poor father was too frightened to ask. Everyone was frightened of the captain and his stories. The only person who was not afraid of him was the local doctor and magistrate (治安法官), Dr. Livesey.
“If you keep drinking rum like that, you will very soon be dead,” he warned the captain.
Adapted from Treasure Island
37. Where did Jim’s father work
A．At the Admiral Benbow inn.

A．He was waiting for a one-legged sailor.
B．He was trying to avoid other sailors.
C．He wanted to make friends with the customers.
D．He planned to run the inn with Jim’s father.
39. Put the following events into the correct order according to time:
①The captain asked Jim to watch for a one-legged sailor.
②The captain arrived at the Admiral Benbow inn.
③Dr. Livesey warned the captain about drinking too much rum.
④The captain paid four gold coins to Jim’s father.
A．②①④③ B．②④①③ C．①②③④ D．④②①③

六、任务型阅读
阅读下面短文，根据要求简要回答问题，每空不超过10词。
Last year, I decided to make some changes to my lifestyle. I had been feeling tired and unhealthy for months, and I knew something had to change. My doctor told me that I was at risk of developing serious health problems if I continued my bad habits.
The first thing I did was to change my diet. I once ate a lot of fast food and sugary snacks, but I started cooking fresh meals at home. I included more vegetables, fruits, and whole grains in my meals. At first, I missed my old eating habits, but gradually I began to enjoy the new flavors.
Next, I started exercising frequently. I began with a 15-minute walk every day. Slowly, I increased it to 30 minutes, and then I started jogging. Now, I run about five kilometers three times a week.
The most difficult part was giving up my late-night habits. I once stayed up late. Now I go to bed early.
I feel like a different person. I have more energy, my mood improved greatly, and I no longer get sick as often as before. The journey wasn’t easy, but it was worth it. I learned that small changes can lead to big results. Health is truly the greatest wealth.
