Dorry Smith got on her blog the standard well-wishes on her 61st birthday yet she got some unusual messages too. One was about the Bush family who had just lost their five-year-old son to accident. His mother was in deep sorrow. Could Dorry help the mother
That message and the 20 or so others like it were exactly what Dorry was looking for. To celebrate her 61st, the retired teacher had put out a call on her blog. She wanted to commit 30 random acts of kindness by the end of her birth month, and she needed information on people who are in need of them. When she got the note about the Bush family, she sent a wind chime(风铃) with the message “Listen to the wind and know that I am here with you” written on it. It now hangs in the five-year-old’s bedroom, where his sad mother can go to listen to it whenever she wants.
It is not the first time that Dorry has decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her 54th birthday in 2016, she founded Love in Action, an organization committed to doing something good in her city. Its aim is simple: Do Your Best, Show Your Love!
Over the years, the organization has reached out and touched well over 50 strangers, some found via Dorry’s blog, others with help from her grandkids. The organization also shares inexpensive and creative gift ideas for others to help people in need.
Dorry pays for everything herself: gift cards pay-it-forward purchases at drive-throughs, and care packages, as well as the gas it takes to play fairy. Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a serious warning against spending it on anyone else, which she naturally ignores.“I got a couple of gift cards for my birthday this year and was like ‘YESSS!”It’s Dorry’s party, and I’ll give if I wants to.
4. What were the unusual messages Dorry got on her 61st birthday
A. Gift ideas. B. Help requests.
C. Donation offers. D. Birthday wishes.
5. What does Dorry’s wind chime want to convey
A. Don’t cry. B. Time flies. C. You are not alone. D. You should be patient.
6. What can we know about Love in Action
A. It recruits people interested in charity.
B. It holds the belief that kindness pays off.
C. It mainly aims to educate others to help out.
D. It offers aid within Dorry’s neighborhood.
7. Why does Dorry’s family give her warnings
A. She thinks little of her grandkids.
B. She treats strangers better than her family.
C. She is financially dependent on her family.
D. She is too ready to give away her birthday gifts.

Petrol and diesel cars may still dominate our roads, but their days are numbered. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 percent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 percent by 2025.
One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety” — drivers’ concerns about running out of juice on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. In fact, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.
Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed quite considerably over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars met with distrust, and their high price tags drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars is starting to persuade critics. Plug-in cars will soon give internal combustion (内燃) engine models a run for their money.
As well as advancements on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the sea and sky. Electric boats are among the oldest electric vehicles, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric planes are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery-powered planes. The experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality.
Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions. Were the US to act on the study's findings and replace 87 percent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 percent. However, because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles, they cannot claim to be completely emission-free.
Even so, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.
8. What does the underlined word “hurdle” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. aim B. barrier C. consequence D. step
9. In the past, why was the electric cars refused according to the passage
A. They were very poorly made. B. They were not worth the price.
C. They were not widely promoted. D. They couldn’t travel at a high speed.
10. What is Paragraph 4 used for
A. To introduce the history of electric vehicles.
B. To explain the world needs more electric cars.
C. To show more people have interest in electric cars.
D. To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage
A. My Dream Car journey B. History of Electric Cars
C. Problems with Petrol Cars D. Driving into the Future
D
Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture.
Culture begins with the “honeymoon stage”. This is the period of time when we first arrive in a country where everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. We may be suffering from “jet lag” but we are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food.
Unfortunately, after we have settled down into our new life, we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland and our family, friends, pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture.
The third stage comes when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor.
The fourth stage can be called “at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings. You can cope with most problems that occur. You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.
There is a fifth stage of culture shock which many people don’t know about. This is called “reverse culture shock”. Surprisingly, this occurs when you go back to your native culture and find that you have changed and that things there have changed while you have been away. Now you feel a little uncomfortable back home. Life is a struggle!
12. When does culture shock happen
A. When you reach your teens. B. When you begin an urban life.
C. When you go to live in a foreign culture. D. When you meet foreign people for the first time.
13. How do you feel during the first stage of culture shock
A. Happy and excited B. Bored and homesick
C. Lonely and depressed D. Angry and frustrated
14. How could the third stage be described
A. Adjustment B. Rejection C. Enthusiasm D. Embarrassment
15. Why might reverse culture shock be a problem
A. It hardly ever happens. B. It is extremely stressful.
C. It is out of expectation. D. It only happens to young people.

I was always a reader. As a kid, I walked to the library several times a week and stayed up late reading with a flashlight.
As an English major at university I realised it had been more than two years since I had read most of familiar titles in my memory. I had stopped reading gradually, the way one heals or dies. _____16_____I joined book clubs that I never attended. I lingered between the shelves in a bookstore for hours as if catching up with old friends. I requested a library book everyone was reading, only to return it unread.
But it was clear to me: I was becoming a person I did not know. I was painfully aware of the glaring hypocrisy(虚伪) in my life.

They sat on every surface until my house appeared to wear books the way one wears clothes. ___17___.
The next time I visited a dollar bookstore I bought myself five titles for myself. My resolution to “read a book” echoed in my head. I picked up one I’d bought solely for its poetic title. ___18___The narrator was an old man, but he sounded more like what a young woman thought an old man might sound like. Whenever I was tempted to give up on it, I thought of my resolution.
___19___I loved the alternating (交替的) points of view. I carried the book to work. I read at lunch and on my walk home, occasionally lifting my eyes to avoid strangers. Back home I stayed up late, finally finishing it. ___20___The last time I’d pulled an all-nighter to read, I was 12 and the book was Little Women.
A. I was proud of myself.
B. I had a hard time getting into it.
C. I still loved the idea of reading.

As a little girl, Nia‘s with her family had to move often, finding shelter in rooms with relatives. Tensions rose with every move and shouting matches were constant. When everything came to a boil, Nia found it best to keep silent. She became more and more withdrawn as she got older, losing confidence in herself and her voice.
When she was a young adult, Nia had developed a fear of speaking. So when a friend told her about YouthCare’s Tile Project, she was terrified. However, Nia wanted to take steps to find a job and support herself, no longer relying on her family. So she finally took a deep breath and decided to give it a shot, for better or for worse.
Nia signed up for a ceramic (陶瓷) class. The passion she gained for learning a new craft was clear — but when it came to group activities in the classroom, Nia struggled. She told staff that she didn’t like being around people she didn’t know. So when the class was given the opportunity to sell their artwork at a local fair, Nia hesitated. With the support from YouthCare Career Coordinator, Kate, she cautiously nodded, willing to have a try.
When the big day came, shoppers poured into the fair, approaching Nia with questions about the program and art pieces for sale. Each time, red-faced Nia turned to Kate to whisper the answers in her ear, and Kate repeated the answers out loud with a smile. At one point during the fair, she was left alone for a moment. When a customer came up to ask a question, looking around and finding no Kate round, embarrassed Nia had to answer the question with hesitation. Soon after, another visitor came.
When Kate returned to her side, Nia finally could fight back her fears and answered their questions in a soft voice on her own.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Nia’s confidence grew with every interaction.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That day at the fair was life-changing for Nia.

Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture.
Culture begins with the “honeymoon stage”. This is the period of time when we first arrive in a country where everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. We may be suffering from “jet lag” but we are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food.
Unfortunately, after we have settled down into our new life, we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland and our family, friends, pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture.
The third stage comes when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor.
The fourth stage can be called “at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings. You can cope with most problems that occur. You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.
There is a fifth stage of culture shock which many people don’t know about. This is called “reverse culture shock”. Surprisingly, this occurs when you go back to your native culture and find that you have changed and that things there have changed while you have been away. Now you feel a little uncomfortable back home. Life is a struggle!
12. When does culture shock happen
A. When you reach your teens. B. When you begin an urban life.
C. When you go to live in a foreign culture. D. When you meet foreign people for the first time.
13. How do you feel during the first stage of culture shock
A. Happy and excited B. Bored and homesick
C. Lonely and depressed D. Angry and frustrated
14. How could the third stage be described
A. Adjustment B. Rejection C. Enthusiasm D. Embarrassment
15. Why might reverse culture shock be a problem
A. It hardly ever happens. B. It is extremely stressful.
C. It is out of expectation. D. It only happens to young people.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了心理学家告诉我们，当我们进入并生活在一种新的文化环境中时，会经历四个基本阶段的文化冲击，还有一个人们没有预料的反转期。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture.(心理学家告诉我们，当人类进入并生活在一种新的文化中时，他们会经历四个基本阶段)”及第二段中“Culture begins with the “honeymoon stage”. This is the period of time when we first arrive in a country where everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. (文化始于“蜜月期”。这是我们第一次来到这个国家的时候，这个国家的一切关于新文化的东西都是奇怪和令人兴奋的)”和最后一段中“There is a fifth stage of culture shock which many people don’t know about. (文化冲击的第五个阶段是很多人都不知道的)”可知，当人们进入一个新的文化环境中，即开始生活在外国文化中，会发生文化冲击，故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Culture begins with the “honeymoon stage”. This is the period of time when we first arrive in a country where everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. We may be suffering from “jet lag” but we are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food.(文化始于“蜜月期”。这是我们第一次来到这个国家的时候，这个国家的一切关于新文化的东西都是奇怪和令人兴奋的。我们可能正在遭受“时差”的折磨，但是我们很高兴来到新的环境，看到新的景色，听到新的声音和语言，吃新的食物)”可知，在文化冲击的第一阶段，你会感觉快乐和兴奋，故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The third stage comes when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place.(第三个阶段是当你开始意识到在东道主文化中事情并不是那么糟糕的时候。你的幽默感通常会变得更强，你会意识到，通过学习在新环境中照顾好自己，你会变得更强大)”可知，在文化冲击的第三阶段你开始学习在新环境中照顾好自己，你会变得更强大。由此推知，你在调整自己适应环境，故文化冲击的第三阶段被称为“调整阶段”，故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“There is a fifth stage of culture shock which many people don't know about.(文化冲击的第五个阶段是很多人都不知道的。这就是所谓的“逆向文化冲击”)”可知，逆转文化冲击可能成为一个问题，这是因为人们对逆转文化冲击不了解，对发生的一切出乎意料，故选C。

I was always a reader. As a kid, I walked to the library several times a week and stayed up late reading with a flashlight.
As an English major at university, I realised it had been more than two years since I had read most of familiar titles in my memory. I had stopped reading gradually, the way one heals or dies. _____16_____I joined book clubs that I never attended. I lingered between the shelves in a bookstore for hours as if catching up with old friends. I requested a library book everyone was reading, only to return it unread.
But it was clear to me: I was becoming a person I did not know. I was painfully aware of the glaring hypocrisy(虚伪) in my life. I defended the virtues of bookstores in the age of online retailing and bought books whenever I got the chance, but I hardly read them. They sat on every surface until my house appeared to wear books the way one wears clothes. ___17___.
The next time I visited a dollar bookstore, I bought myself five titles for myself. My resolution to “read a book” echoed in my head. I picked up one I’d bought solely for its poetic title. ___18___The narrator was an old man, but he sounded more like what a young woman thought an old man might sound like. Whenever I was tempted to give up on it, I thought of my resolution.
___19___I loved the alternating (交替的) points of view. I carried the book to work. I read at lunch and on my walk home, occasionally lifting my eyes to avoid strangers. Back home I stayed up late, finally finishing it. ___20___The last time I’d pulled an all-nighter to read, I was 12 and the book was Little Women.
A. I was proud of myself.
B. I had a hard time getting into it.
C. I still loved the idea of reading.
D. I resolved I would find myself back.

47. 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。
As a little girl, Nia‘s with her family had to move often, finding shelter in rooms with relatives. Tensions rose with every move and shouting matches were constant. When everything came to a boil, Nia found it best to keep silent. She became more and more withdrawn as she got older, losing confidence in herself and her voice.
When she was a young adult, Nia had developed a fear of speaking. So when a friend told her about YouthCare’s Tile Project, she was terrified. However, Nia wanted to take steps to find a job and support herself, no longer relying on her family. So she finally took a deep breath and decided to give it a shot, for better or for worse.
Nia signed up for a ceramic (陶瓷) class. The passion she gained for learning a new craft was clear — but when it came to group activities in the classroom, Nia struggled. She told staff that she didn’t like being around people she didn’t know. So when the class was given the opportunity to sell their artwork at a local fair, Nia hesitated. With the support from YouthCare Career Coordinator, Kate, she cautiously nodded, willing to have a try.
When the big day came, shoppers poured into the fair, approaching Nia with questions about the program and art pieces for sale. Each time, red-faced Nia turned to Kate to whisper the answers in her ear, and Kate repeated the answers out loud with a smile. At one point during the fair, she was left alone for a moment. When a customer came up to ask a question, looking around and finding no Kate round, embarrassed Nia had to answer the question with hesitation. Soon after, another visitor came.
When Kate returned to her side, Nia finally could fight back her fears and answered their questions in a soft voice on her own.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Nia’s confidence grew with every interaction.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That day at the fair was life-changing for Nia.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Nia’s confidence grew with every interaction. She was not afraid to talk with people. By the end of the day, she was beaming. She turned to Kate and said, “Thank you, Kate. It was you that helped me overcome the fears.” “I am so proud of you and so impressed by what you have done. You really love explaining to customers how to fire ceramic,” said Kate. “The artwork you sold was the biggest sale of the day! Congratulations!” Hearing that, Nia jumped up happily.
That day at the fair was life-changing for Nia. She discovered that she truly enjoyed talking to others — especially about art! With continued support from staff to build communication skills and confidence, Nia completed the YouthCare’s Tile Project with flying colors. Now she is not the girl who likes to keep silent. Instead, she becomes a talkative girl and has made many good friends.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。文章主要讲述了Nia原来很害羞，害怕和被人说话，后来参加陶瓷班，通过一个项目来卖当地的艺术品，从而获得了与别人交流机会。在Kate的鼓励和陪伴下，Nia克服恐惧，与顾客交流，回答顾客的问题。
【详解】1.段落续写：
第一段首句内容“尼娅的自信随着每次互动而增长。”可知，第一段可描写尼娅感到很高兴，她感谢凯特，凯特告诉尼娅，她卖的那件艺术品是今天最大的一笔交易。
由第二段首句内容“集市上的那一天改变了尼娅的一生。”可知，第二段可描写尼娅顺利完成了项目，而且也变得健谈，不再是那个沉默不语的女孩。
