Last year, Abraham Olagbegi got the news that he got a disease and needed a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植). About a year later, the 13-year-old boy got much better news: His transplant was successful, and he could join Make-A-Wish, an organization that helps fulfill (完成) wishes of children with serious illnesses.
That was when Abraham shared an idea with his mom. “I remember when we were coming home after seeing his doctor, he said, ‘Mom, I thought about it, and I really want to feed the homeless,’ ” said Abraham’s mom, Miriam Olagbegi. “I said,’Are you sure, Abraham You could do a lot... You’re sure you don’t want to play video games ’ ”
However, Abraham was uninterested in the PlayStation. Instead, in September, Make-A-Wish helped Abraham organize a day to hand out free food in Jackson, Mississippi — the food and supplies were donated by local businesses. They were able to feed around 80 people that day.
“When the homeless people get the plate, some of them would come back and sing to us and thank us,” he said. “And it just really feels good. It warms our hearts. My parents always taught us that it’s a blessing (好事) to be a blessing.”
Abraham’s efforts are not over just yet — Make-A-Wish will help Abraham feed the homeless on the third Saturday of every month for a year. This will last through Aug. 2022, but Abraham already plans to keep it going much longer than that by starting the organization “Abraham’s Table”.
“We’re just very excited to be able to continue on this attempt,”Abraham’s mom said. “If I was out there on the streets, I would want somebody to think of me and to do something special for me. So, that’s what I try to teach my kids and we just try to pay it forward, by doing what we were raised to do.”
4. Why did Abraham’s mom ask him the questions in paragraph 2
A. She noticed his hesitation. B. She was worried about his illness.
C. She doubted whether he was serious. D. She hoped he could give up his old habit.
5. What do Abraham’s words in paragraph 4 show
A. He is happy to help others. B. He realized his mom was right.
C. He is thankful for others’support. D. He felt sure he had fully recovered.
6. What is Abraham’s plan
A. To volunteer for charities as usual.
B. To start a restaurant for the homeless.
C. To continue giving the homeless food.
D. To find public support for “Abraham’s Table”.
7. Which of the following can best describe Abraham’s mom
A. Fearless and humorous. B. Strong-willed and calm.
C. Hard-working and independent. D. Understanding and responsible.
C
We’ll finally grow up someday, leaving our parents and facing the challenges in life. Parents may not be able to solve every problem for us. Instead, we should have enough life skills to cope with the problems that come our way.
This is what our country tries to do now: Helping more students gain working spirit. To stress the importance of hardworking spirit education among students of different ages, the Communist Party of China Central Committee and
the State Council released a guideline recently. The guideline calls for students to respect work. Students should learn basic life skills and form good working habits through such education.
The government has been trying to stress the importance of hardworking spirit education. But this has been overlooked in recent years. Many teens do not value the importance of working hard and are uninterested in doing so.
According to a study of nearly 3,000 students that was done by Ningbo Evening News in March, only 22 percent of primary and middle school students help with everyday chores around the house.
Schools and families play an important role in teaching students about the value of working hard, the guideline says. Primary and middle schools should provide students with hardworking spirit classes every week, according to the guideline. Schools can also hold activities to give students real-world work experiences. For example, schools can teach children how to plant trees on Tree-Planting Day.
As children’s first teachers, parents should also encourage children to learn how to do chores at home. Students should master one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms.
8. The guideline was released in order to ________.
A. teach students how to do chores at home
B. call for students to respect work
C. help students solve life problems
D. ask students to be more independent
9. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Challenges in life. B. Basic life skills.
C. The recently released guideline. D. Hardworking spirit education
10. What is Paragraph 4 trying to tell us
A. Only 3,000 students help with housework.
B. Students pay no attention to work spirit.
C. About one fifth of students help with housework.
D. Students are very dependent on their parents.
11. According to the guideline, schools should ________.
A. provide both guidance and chances for real work
B. hand out the guideline to every student
C. teach students how to plant trees
D. give parents homework
D
Celebrated on April 11th, National Pet Day celebrates the joy that pets bring to our lives — and, for many, it’s a psychic (心灵的) connection.
Nearly three-quarters of dog owners say they can read their pets minds. The new survey results coincide (与……相一致) with National Pet Day founded in 2006 by animal welfare advocate (动物幸福倡导者) Colleen Paige, who wanted to encourage adoptions.
Of the 2,000 dog owners surveyed (被调查), 74% are confident they understand what their pet wants at any given time. And, 71% feel their dog understands them, too. Half of the respondents (调查对象) say that it takes about six months to get to that point, after activities like taking them on munication skills begin while teaching some of the easiest commands (命令) for dogs: “sit,” “lie down” or “stay.”
Conducted by OnePoll, the survey also asked respondents to describe their dog’s funny characteristics (特点) and personalities (性格).
When it comes to personalities, owners would likely describe them as “The Guardian” (protective, attached), “The Family Dog” (easy to get along with, great with children, gentle), or “The Class Clown” (interesting).
84% of parents with Guardian dogs or Dedicated Workers (reliable, high-energy) believe they have some skills to help them know what their dog wants. Similarly, 72% of all dog owners think they know what their dog will do before they do it. And 62% of those who have “The Class Clown” say they know what action their dog has in mind next. 66% of those who have “The WatchDog” (smart, barks a lot) or “The Independent Thinker” (intelligent, likes to do things on their own) are sure they know what thoughts run through their dogs head. Half of those who have “Social Butterfly” dogs(high-energy, love attention,outgoing) see their own personality as matching their dog’s friendliness. 12 Why did Colleen Paige set up National Pet Day
A. To encourage people to adopt pets.
B. To call on people to keep their pets safe.
C. To look for the support of other organizations.
D. To ask people to pay attention to endangered animals.
13. What did the survey find
A. Most people believe training a dog is a piece of cake.
B. Most dog owners think they can read their dog’s mind.
C. Most people find doing activities with their pets difficult.
D. Most people like to keep pets that are similar to their personalities.
14. If a dog is described as a “Social Butterfly” dog, it is most likely to be ________.
A. intelligent and reliable B. energetic and outgoing
C. protective and strong D. attached and friendly
15. Where can the text likely be found
A. In a history book. B. In a novel.
C. On a scientific website. D. On a notice board.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Culture shock (冲击) is the emotional (情感上的) and mental reaction to being in a completely new cultural environment. This is often a very difficult experience for many people. It contains several stages until someone successfully adapts to (适应) being in a new culture.
The “honeymoon stage”is usually the first stage that people go through in a different culture. Everything is new and fun. 16 This stage is usually quite short for most people and quickly gives way to the second stage called the “frustration (沮丧) stage”.
During the “frustration stage”, the newcomers begin to think about problems in the new culture. 17 The excitement quickly starts turning into discomfort. Impatience, anger, and sadness are all characteristics of this stage. Miscommunication is the main cause of frustration, and even the simplest thing might anger you!
After the “frustration stage” ends, the “adjustment stage” begins. 18 This opens the door to three possible outcomes (结果)-mastery (掌控),rejection (拒绝接受), or assimilation (同化).
Those newcomers who enter the“mastery stage”have completely adapted to the values and beliefs of the new culture. 19 Those who enter the“rejection stage” usually choose to get away from the culture through isolation (隔离) or returning home. People who are assimilated are those who completely accept the new culture and give up the values and beliefs of their home culture.
20 Everyone experiences it. By recognizing it, we can prevent it from damaging an enriching (丰富的) experience abroad.
A. You can do things that remind you of home.
B. You need to know not everyone feels all the stages.
C. During this stage, a strong feeling of dissatisfaction starts.
D. Culture shock is a natural part of a cross-cultural experience.
E. People often feel excited about their new cultural surroundings.
F. They keep some of their own original (原有的) cultural values at the same time.
G. You slowly begin to feel comfortable with everything in your new environment.

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。
One day my friend Lily and I were talking about some parties that we had attended. Then suddenly I remembered that our best friend Emma’s birthday was next Saturday and we had not planned anything for her birthday!
At once we started discussing what we could do for Emma’s birthday. It suddenly came to my mind that we could throw a surprise party for her. I suggested that we could do it at my house as my parents and my brother were going to a farm and I was going to stay home. We also realized that nobody’s parents would allow their children to throw a party at their own houses as they would get dirty.
After that, we started deciding what things we could do at the party and what we could give her as a present. Finally, we agreed to give her a bunny (兔子) house as Emma has a baby bunny but she did not have a house for it.
The next day after my parents and my brother left, I invited Lily to my house. While Lily was coming, she ran into Emma, which made Lily nervous.
She thought that Emma would get suspicious (怀疑的) but thankfully Emma did not suspect a thing. Until the time Lily arrived, I gathered all the decorative (装饰的) items (物品) I had. I saw the cake which Lily had baked and it looked amazing.
I started decorating, while Lily began sending the invitations to our friends, and then she also joined me to decorate the room. When we finished decorating, we got very tired. So we decided to do the rest of the things the next day.
Finally, the day came. Everybody started coming and they were very excited about the party. Then I called up Emma and told her that a cat was stuck in (被困在) a tree in my back yard so that she would definitely (一定) come to my house to help me rescue (拯救) it. Later, we all hid (藏) in different places at my house.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

Dear Lucy,
Thanks for your concern. I’d like to tell you something about my studies during the pandemic.

第二节
One possible version:
Finally, when Emma entered my house, we jumped up and shouted, “Surprise!” Emma was a little frightened. Then we wished Emma happy birthday and after that, we started playing the games and all of us enjoyed ourselves. Emma was so surprised to see everybody. Then we cut the cake and it tasted delicious and she also loved the gift we gave her. When everyone was enjoying the party, I heard my neighbors complaining about the loud music.
After everybody left, I turned around and noticed the whole house was a big mess. Then I got a message from my mom that they were going to arrive in half an hour. I didn't know what to do.I quickly started cleaning up all the mess and by the time my parents and my brother arrived, I managed to clean the house. Thankfully, they did not notice anything and I was relieved. Although there was a big mess after the party, I enjoyed myself so much that I think I will never forget it.
