B Whenever I heard strangers singing out loud, whether it was in the supermarket or on the street. I used to think how annoying it was. That was until a few months ago. Recently, my daughter Zoe started her second year of middle school with a new sense of awareness, asking me to fix the “little girl” pattern on her wheelchair seat. Not wanting her to stand out at school, I spent hours filling in pale yellow stars with a black marker, eager to erase whatever childish signs I could. Shortly after, Zoe got really sick and had to miss 20 days of school. This meant our days were filled with rushing between hospital appointments and meetings with the school, as we tried to make sure she didn’t fall behind on her schoolwork. I felt pulled back to a time when she was little and her sickness was a huge part of her life. Back then, it seemed like Zoe lived in hospitals, as she spent so much time in them. No matter how sick she got, however, she always had a positive attitude. But this was different: Zoe was no longer singing like she normally did. Zoe usually sings all the time, whether she’s playing, riding in the car, or just doing her homework. There was no need for a radio in our house; Zoe provided the music for us. Consumed（被折磨）with my motherly worries, it was more concerning to me than her sickness. One day, however, I heard her beautiful voice as I was cooking dinner. I stopped what I was doing and just smiled. “Pure delight.” I thought to myself. Her voice slowly grew stronger, and soon, both the car and the house were filled with her music once more. How had I not noticed her singing had completely stopped, weeks and weeks ago? Now, thankfully, she’s back in school, smiling and singing, and I’m thankful for each and every song she sings. These days, whenever I hear a stranger singing a song to themselves, I don’t get mad. Instead, I smile, as I know that by singing out loud, they’re simply sharing their happiness with the world. 24. When did the author feel bothered? A. When hearing strangers singing. B. When her daughter started middle school. C. When fixing stars on the seat. D. When her daughter became sensitive. 25. Which of the following best describes Zoe? A. Considerate and helpful. B. Competitive and hardworking. C. Optimistic and strong-willed. D. Self-aware and modest. 26. What does “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Zoe’s love for music. B. Zoe’s falling behind at school. C. Zoe’s silence during her sickness. D. Zoe’s slow recovery from her sickness. 27. What does singing mean to people, according to the author? A. A way to get rid of stress. B. A way to express love to others. C. A way to communicate with others. D. A way to share joy. C The killdeer, a small bird known for its high-pitched（声调高的）call, could lead to the cancellation of one of Canada’s biggest music festivals. The first hint of trouble for Ottawa’s Bluesfest, an outdoor festival that draws around 300, 000 people each year, came last week after workers at the site found one of the birds. It had laid four eggs nearby, effectively claiming the main stage area as its nesting ground. “This is one of the most challenging problems we’ve been presented with, but we feel we can work through this,” said Mark Monahan, executive director of the festival. “Anything that changes the schedule has a major effect, so we’re taking it very seriously. “ The discovery meant that government officials rushed to protect the nest and the eggs, hiring a security guard to watch over them 24 hours a day. Environmentalists were also brought in. “We don’t know when the eggs might hatch,” said Monahan. What is known is that the young killdeer will likely leave the nest soon after they are hatched, leading many to hope that the eggs hatch in the next day or so. The festival is now asking permission from Environment Canada to relocate the nest some 50 meters away or take it to a wildlife center. Moving the nest would also ensure the bird and its young would be protected during the festival’s ll - day run, said Monahan. It’s highly likely that the festival’s thousands of attendees would cause huge problems for the bird and its eggs. Monahan was confident that the festival would go on as planned, however. “Most of the people we’re working with ... are looking for a positive solution,” Monahan said. “There is no one saying that the festival can’t go on.” As news of tile dilemma spread, it left residents divided. Some supported the bird, saying that moving the nest might result in the eggs being abandoned. Others expressed annoyance that protecting the eggs of the small bird, which is widespread across North America, was risking an annual festival that contributes millions of dollars to the local economy. The killdeer’s tendency to build its nest in open fields or flat areas has caused issues in other areas of the US: earlier this year, construction on a health center in Wisconsin was temporarily stopped after a killdeer and its four eggs were discovered. 28. What can we learn about Bluesfest? A. It is the first music festival in Canada. B. It is a music festival held every two years. C. It is a challenging outdoor activity in Ottawa. D. It is an important event for music lovers 29. What was especially challenging for Bluesfest this year? A. Pressure from the government. B. Disagreements with the public. C. The need to protect the bird’s eggs. D. The lack of experience in hosting the event. 30. How does the festival intend to deal with the problem? A. Ask government officials for help. B. Move the nest to another place. C. Seek advice from environmentalists. D. Hire security guards to protect the eggs. 31. From the passage we can infer Mark Monahan was in a（n）_________ situation. A. encouraging B. difficult C. extreme D. dangerous D It’s easy to think of your grandparents’ retirement years as being all about them. After all, they’ve likely spent the last several decades devoting their time and energy to others — their boss, coworkers, clients, or kids. Now, they think, it’s time to finally focus on themselves, and that’s true to an extent. But their post-work life still needs structure and purpose. Without these two key pillars （支柱）, life can get boring and lonely very quickly. One very good way to fill the blank is to give time and energy to others through volunteering. Sure, they won’t walk away with a pay check, but the simple act of volunteering their time to a cause comes with numerous other very important benefits. For retirees Ross and Carol Chenot, volunteering has made their golden years incredibly fulfilling. Ross volunteers with GleanSLO, all organization affiliated（隶属于）with the local food bank. “Because we live in a rich agricultural area, GleanSLO（San Luis Obispo is where the SLO comes from）volunteers go into the fields or orchards after the harvesters have gone through and they pick the leftover produce and donate to the food bank,” Carol explains. “Literally tons and tons of food get donated that way.” Carol put together a series of neighborhood “learning sessions” — called Neighborly U through which people can learn a new skill or hobby. The sessions range in topic, and include computers, crafts, cooking, volunteerism, travel, recreation, entertainment, and self-improvement. So far, Carol says she’s conducted 75 classes and has had more than 650 people register. “It reinforces a value of generosity that we want to pass down to others,” she says. 32. What does your post-work life need according to Paragraph 1 ? A. Yourself and your kids. B. Structure and purpose. C. Time and energy. D. Your boss and coworkers. 33. How do the retired fill their free time? A. To volunteer. B. To attend kids. C. To have a walk. D. To work hard. 34. Wily does the passage mention Ross and Carol? A. Because they are both generous. B. Because their efforts have paid off. C. Because they have spare time and energy to develop new skills. D. Because volunteering has made their retirement years satisfying. 35. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. The joy of Volunteering in retirement years. B. Life call get boring and lonely very quickly. C. Where to spend the golden retired years. D. A value of generosity passed down to others. 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Most people are familiar with big international sports events like the Olympics and the World Cup.

C The killdeer, a small bird known for its high-pitched（声调高的）call, could lead to the cancellation of one of Canada’s biggest music festivals. The first hint of trouble for Ottawa’s Bluesfest, an outdoor festival that draws around 300, 000 people each year, came last week after workers at the site found one of the birds. It had laid four eggs nearby, effectively claiming the main stage area as its nesting ground. “This is one of the most challenging problems we’ve been presented with, but we feel we can work through this,” said Mark Monahan, executive director of the festival. “Anything that changes the schedule has a major effect, so we’re taking it very seriously. “ The discovery meant that government officials rushed to protect the nest and the eggs, hiring a security guard to watch over them 24 hours a day. Environmentalists were also brought in. “We don’t know when the eggs might hatch,” said Monahan. What is known is that the young killdeer will likely leave the nest soon after they are hatched, leading many to hope that the eggs hatch in the next day or so. The festival is now asking permission from Environment Canada to relocate the nest some 50 meters away or take it to a wildlife center. Moving the nest would also ensure the bird and its young would be protected during the festival’s ll - day run, said Monahan. It’s highly likely that the festival’s thousands of attendees would cause huge problems for the bird and its eggs. Monahan was confident that the festival would go on as planned, however. “Most of the people we’re working with ... are looking for a positive solution,” Monahan said. “There is no one saying that the festival can’t go on.” As news of tile dilemma spread, it left residents divided. Some supported the bird, saying that moving the nest might result in the eggs being abandoned. Others expressed annoyance that protecting the eggs of the small bird, which is widespread across North America, was risking an annual festival that contributes millions of dollars to the local economy. The killdeer’s tendency to build its nest in open fields or flat areas has caused issues in other areas of the US: earlier this year, construction on a health center in Wisconsin was temporarily stopped after a killdeer and its four eggs were discovered. 28. What can we learn about Bluesfest? A. It is the first music festival in Canada. B. It is a music festival held every two years. C. It is a challenging outdoor activity in Ottawa. D. It is an important event for music lovers 29. What was especially challenging for Bluesfest this year? A. Pressure from the government. B. Disagreements with the public. C. The need to protect the bird’s eggs. D. The lack of experience in hosting the event. 30. How does the festival intend to deal with the problem? A. Ask government officials for help. B. Move the nest to another place. C. Seek advice from environmentalists. D. Hire security guards to protect the eggs. 31. From the passage we can infer Mark Monahan was in a（n）_________ situation. A. encouraging B. difficult C. extreme D. dangerous D It’s easy to think of your grandparents’ retirement years as being all about them. After all, they’ve likely spent the last several decades devoting their time and energy to others — their boss, coworkers, clients, or kids. Now, they think, it’s time to finally focus on themselves, and that’s true to an extent. But their post-work life still needs structure and purpose. Without these two key pillars （支柱）, life can get boring and lonely very quickly. One very good way to fill the blank is to give time and energy to others through volunteering. Sure, they won’t walk away with a pay check, but the simple act of volunteering their time to a cause comes with numerous other very important benefits. For retirees Ross and Carol Chenot, volunteering has made their golden years incredibly fulfilling. Ross volunteers with GleanSLO, all organization affiliated（隶属于）with the local food bank. “Because we live in a rich agricultural area, GleanSLO（San Luis Obispo is where the SLO comes from）volunteers go into the fields or orchards after the harvesters have gone through and they pick the leftover produce and donate to the food bank,” Carol explains. “Literally tons and tons of food get donated that way.” Carol put together a series of neighborhood “learning sessions” — called Neighborly U through which people can learn a new skill or hobby. The sessions range in topic, and include computers, crafts, cooking, volunteerism, travel, recreation, entertainment, and self-improvement. So far, Carol says she’s conducted 75 classes and has had more than 650 people register. “It reinforces a value of generosity that we want to pass down to others,” she says. 32. What does your post-work life need according to Paragraph 1 ? A. Yourself and your kids. B. Structure and purpose. C. Time and energy. D. Your boss and coworkers. 33. How do the retired fill their free time? A. To volunteer. B. To attend kids. C. To have a walk. D. To work hard. 34. Wily does the passage mention Ross and Carol? A. Because they are both generous. B. Because their efforts have paid off. C. Because they have spare time and energy to develop new skills. D. Because volunteering has made their retirement years satisfying. 35. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. The joy of Volunteering in retirement years. B. Life call get boring and lonely very quickly. C. Where to spend the golden retired years. D. A value of generosity passed down to others. 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Most people are familiar with big international sports events like the Olympics and the World Cup.
