24、Love, joy, and the warm feeling of pulling together to get through tough times don’t cost a thing. But gifts do cost money. So, what’s a poor family to do?
When Christmas season rolled around, I told my mother that the only thing I wanted was a pogo stick. However, my mother told me they were too expensive and that we simply couldn’t afford one.
On a Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks before Christmas, my mom and dad told me we needed to go to Sears to pay our credit card bill. While my mother and I were paying the bill, my dad said, “I’ll be right back — I need to see something in the tool department.” A little later, my dad came back with a long box. I remember wondering at that moment if there was a pogo stick in that box.
When we got home, my dad put the box in the garage. While my parents were busy with their chores, I quietly walked out to the garage and found the box. I hoped a pogo stick would be inside — but when I opened it, there was just an old broom. And so it looked like Christmas morning would be disappointing.
But after all the wrapping paper was cleaned up, my dad said he needed to tend to something in the garage. When he came back in, he was carrying a beautiful pogo stick. I couldn’t believe it!
My parents probably got quite a laugh from the trick they played on me.
Although we didn’t have much money, my parents gave me the most important gift of all: lots of love. My dad worked hard to support our family and my mother knew how to stretch a dollar. That was over 60 years ago and I still think about those wonderful Christmas memories every year during the holiday season. My parents were the best and I will never forget all the joy they brought into my life.

25、Most teens try very hard to look good. They wear beautiful clothes, cool shoes and fashionable sunglasses. They may want to stay home from school because of the smallest pimple(粉刺). I know because I used to focus only on my appearance. However, now I work hard to see more than just my looks. I'll explain why.
Firstly, if you only focus on how you look, you'll also focus only on the appearance of others. As a result, you'll become a person who can't see the truly important characteristics(品质) in others. Some people don't follow the latest fashion trends. If you avoid getting to know them, you'll miss out on many interesting and valuable relationships in your life.
Moreover, if you focus only on your appearance, you'll miss out on chances to improve your abilities. For example, if you spend all your time trying to look fashionable, you won't have any time to become a better musician or improve your grades at school. Even the most attractive people need to have skills to succeed in life.
In addition, focusing only on your looks can make you feel disappointed about yourself. If you don't worry about a pimple on your face, you'll be less likely to feel unhappy about yourself. On the whole, happy people like to communicate with the world in a positive way. Therefore, feeling happy is more important than looking good. You should work hard at feeling good, not just looking good.
I used to focus only on how I looked. However, now I work hard to focus on all the different parts of myself—my appearance, personality, abilities, and so on. So I'm a much happier person. If you take my advice, you'll be a happier person too. Your first step is to look at yourself without a mirror!
【1】What's the writer's purpose of writing the first paragraph?
A.To introduce his opinion on looks.
B.To explain how important your look is.
C.To let you buy more beautiful things.
D.To tell you what he used to be like.
【2】According to the writer, focusing only on your appearance ________.
A.encourages you to enjoy the world
B.helps you see important points in others
C.causes you to feel proud of yourself
D.stops you from improving your abilities
【3】The passage is about the importance of ________.
A.focusing on your physical appearance
B.improving your abilities and skills
C.seeing all the different parts of yourself
D.cool clothes and fashionable accessories
【4】Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
A.
B.
C.
D.
26、
On June 9th, 1870, Charles Dickens died at the age of 58. The next day, a headline in The New York Times read: “Death of the Great Novelist Will Be Remembered by the People...”.
The headline was not overstating (夸大) the popularity of Dickens. Even today, the British novelist is loved by readers all over the world. Dickens created some unforgettable characters. You must have heard of or even read some of his novels: Oliver Twist, A Tale of Two Cities and A Christmas Carol.
A Tale of Two Cities has sold more than 200 million copies. Since 1897, there have been more than 300 film and TV adaptations of Dickens’ works. A Christmas Carol alone has had nearly 50.
Natalie Mcknight is a literature professor (文学教授) who studies Dickens and his works. She explains why the novelist has remained so popular. One important reason, she says is that Dickens wrote from his heart. He tried hard to produce emotional effects (情感效果), he paid special attention to the “little man” at the bottom of society in the UK, which deeply mirrored the social reality at that time. A Christmas Carol, was written to make every reader think about how they could make a difference to their society. People always enjoy works that make them laugh, cry and think. Many other 9th-century novelists wrote entertaining (娱乐的) works. However, few of them worked as hard as Dickens to touch the readers deeply.
Dickens wrote about situation and emotions that still interest people today. He used his pen to fight social inequality and gave voice to the poor. His works led to many important social changes. Readers always enjoy seeing poor people rise and succeed.
This year marks the 150th year of Dickens’ death. It’s another chance to remember this great writer. Will you read or re-read some of his famous works?
【1】What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing Paragraph (段落) One?

B.To give examples.
C.To provide a solution.

A.Great
B.Unforgettable.
C.Loving.
【3】What does the underlined word “adaptations” mean in Chinese?
A.播出版
B.原创版

27、“Track!” said my master.
Like any good tracker-dog who has received the command(命令) he most loves, I gave a bark of excitement, put my nose down to the ground and sniffed. The ground was rich with smells. Even in the high-class housing area where we were working, the stones held traces of many sole and confusing scents (smells). As I searched for the scent that would give me a clue to the tail of the guilty man, my tail wagged slowly, thoughtfully, delightedly. Work was like play to me; I enjoyed it.
A small group of people gathered behind us. Among these onlookers was the old caretaker of the building next door to ours. He spoke in a scornful voice, “You actually think your dog might catch a thief three days after the event?” My master said nothing, but I'm sure he must have smiled. I did not turn to look. I knew he would not speak unless it was to give me a new command.
I needed to concentrate. My task was difficult. I had to pick out one scent among the many that lay about and then tracked it to its source.
“You're wasting your time,” said the caretaker. I looked at him without raising my head. He was running his hand over his fat stomach. His rough palm and smooth shirt combined to make a slight noise. It was part of my training to be aware—often it is only a little whisper of a noise that alerts(提醒)you to be drawing of a weapon. But of course the aging caretaker was going to do no such thing. There was no smell of fear or nervousness about him. He was merely being clever and talkative.
“I've seen many tracker-dogs in my time,” said the caretaker to the onlookers. I served with the police years ago. We would never have thought of using a tracker-dog to find a car thief. Impossible. Everyone knows that dogs are useless in such matters.
In a sense he was right. I'm sure there's no need to tell you that, just as a dog's hearing is much better than a human being's, so his sense of smell tells one thing from another far better than a great detective. If Sherlock Holmes could work out that a man had had an egg for breakfast by seeing the yellow stain on his mouth, a trained dog could tell you whether the hen that laid the egg was healthy or not.
I know it sounds funny and I mean it to be. But I'm not exaggerating. A dog can tell you—if you understand a dog’s way of communicating—all this and more without even setting eyes on the man he is investigating.
【1】Who do you think the dog was tracking?
A.The thief. B.The caretaker.
C.The master. D.The onlookers.
【2】How did the dog react to the command to track?
A.It thought for a while and did what was asked.
B.It was happy, even though it wasn't trained for the task.
C.It was angry because there were so many smells.
D.It was excited because it took pleasure in tracking.
【3】In the dog's opinion, its sense of smell ________.
A.can give us fewer details about what a human has already discovered
B.can achieve more than what a human's only if the smell is not hidden
C.is particularly trained to pick out one scent among hundreds
D.is better than its sense of hearing when it does tracking
【4】According to the passage, the dog is ________.
A.honest and hopeful B.smart and helpful
C.kind and careful D.popular and thoughtful
28、根据下面短文内容,在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词,使短文完整、通顺。
When you hear the word hero, you may think of someone like Mahatma Gandhi or Nelson Mandela. But there are also "everyday" heroes—they may not be 【1】 to the public, but they do what they can to help improve people's lives as well. Everyday heroes are normal people who are working to make the world a better place. 【2】 them is Robert Lee.
Lee grew up in New York City. 【3】 his family was not rich, he learned the importance of not wasting food from a young age. When in college, he was part of a student group that gave out leftover(剩余的) food to homeless people. This experience made him realize how 【4】 the problem of food waste actually was.
After he left university, Lee gave up a well-paid job and 【5】 his own business called Rescuing Leftover Cuisine(RLC). RLC runs simply. Just using an app developed by Lee's team, restaurants report how much leftover food they have each day. Then volunteers are sent to get it. They never drive or use other public transportation as the distance is usually short. 【6】 they can just do their deliveries(递送)by walking from the restaurants to the shelters. Lee believes it is a quick way of delivery.
So far, Lee and his team have successfully saved over 150,000 kilograms of food, serving almost 300,000 meals to people who need them. Lee has shown that a small action can make a big difference to our life than we imagine. When Lee is 【7】 what his next plan is, he replies there's still a long way to go. This is just the 【8】. With more restaurants, who knows how much more we can do.
