The day that I met my best friend for the first time, I was anxiously reviewing for an important exam in the local library. Because I kept being interrupted by others, I was unable to make any   13  . When I heard someone singing behind me, I couldn’t accept the situation any longer. I turned around and gave the person a dirty look. It was a tall girl about the same age as me. Standing near the “English Literature” section, she seemed to be looking for a book. “How could she think only about herself?” I thought   14  .

I picked up my books, looked into her eyes and   15  . “You are being so selfish (自私的). I’ve been unable to study because of your terrible singing. Be considerate of other people in public.” Then I left the library in a hurry. 

Two hours later, I realized I’d   16   my most important textbook in the library. What was worse, the library had already closed. I was close to tears. Just then, the phone rang. A soft voice introduced the speaker as Jenny and asked if I was Jane. After confirming (确认) that I was, she told me that she had   17   my book in the library. As my phone number was in it, she called and told me she didn’t live far away and could   18   it to me.

I let out a deep breath with comfort and agreed to meet her at the store down the road. I was so   19  !

When I met Jenny in the store, I recognized her at once. She was the girl I had shouted at for singing. I was filled with   20   and said sorry for my rudeness (无礼). But Jenny just laughed and told me she was glad that I had left her a dirty look in the library!

Can you believe we became best friends? I often think how lucky I am. If Jenny hadn’t been a kind person who was willing to forgive (原谅) my rudeness, I would never have experienced such true friendship.

Grandma called me in from the yard. “Would you please go to the store for me, Emma? I’m ready to make cakes, but there aren’t enough eggs. Take 20 dollars from my wallet.” I found Grandma’s wallet and put the money in my pocket.

I arrived at the store soon. “Mr. Jenkins,” I said, “Grandma needs some eggs.” Mr. Jenkins set the eggs on the counter. He smiled at me. “And what else do you need?” I knew what he meant. I was always allowed to pick a piece of candy when I came to the store with Grandma. “How much change do I have from 20 dollars?” I asked. “Seven dollars.” Mr. Jenkins replied. I thought about that quickly. I was sure Grandma wouldn’t care if I spent two dollars. The longer I looked at the candy display, the more certain I became that I needed two dollars’ worth as a reward (奖励) for coming to the store alone. And I did so.

“Thank you, Emma” Grandma said when I laid the eggs on the table. “Did you put the change back in my wallet?” “Yes, Grandma.” I replied, hurrying out to the yard. “I hadn’t really lied to Grandma,” I argued with myself. “I did put back all the change I had.”

But I had spent two dollars without Grandma’s permission (允许). The second piece of candy in my pocket didn’t sound like a good idea any more. I knew I had lied to Grandma, and I was unhappy about it. Grandma loved me so much that I couldn’t bear to keep anything from her.

When Grandma took the hot cakes from the oven, I told her about the candy. She nodded when I finished my story. “I know just how you feel,” she said. “I’m glad you told me about the dollars, you are an honest kid and of course I’ll forgive you.” Suddenly I felt relaxed as though a big stone was gone from my stomach.

24．Emma went to a store to buy          for her grandma.

A．some cakes  B．some eggs

C．a wallet  D．a piece of candy

25．How did Emma feel after she lied to Grandma? 

A．Nervous.             B．Glad.

C．Unhappy.              D．Relaxed.

26．Emma’s grandma forgave her at last because ______.

A．Emma put all the change back in the wallet

B．Emma should get a reward for going to the store

C．Emma told grandma the truth and showed her honesty

D．Emma loved grandma so much and did something to help her

C

If you live in a place where most people speak the language you are learning, you may use the language for several hours each day. It may become part of your “inner speech.” In other words, you start thinking in that language. Your mind stops trying to translate things from your native language into the second language. But most of the English learners live in places where English is not the main language. This may be true for you. You may not have many chances to practice English. You may even be self-taught.

When you speak, your speech might be slower than you would like. This is because your mind is still translating from your first language, which can also sound unnatural. English, like every other language, has its own sentence structure.

The good news is that thinking in English can bring you a huge step closer to fluency (流利)! It is not very difficult, but it does need practice.

Most experts note that it’s best to start small. So, a good first step is to think in individual (单独的) words. Look around you. What do you see? In your head, try to name each object in your surroundings. Charles Thomas has taught English for over 10 years. He tells his students to name the things that they see around them, wherever they are. Start with nouns and then add in verbs, he suggests.

Another exercise that Thomas suggests is describing in your mind objects you don’t know the words for. For example, if you’re looking at your house and you see your garage, but you can’t think of the name in English. You can say, “The place inside where I put my car.” You can also use shorter phrases, such as “It’s similar to...” or “It’s the opposite of...” Thomas says doing this can help learners of any language. As a Spanish learner, he does it himself.

Next, you can move to exercises like thinking in simple sentences and in conversations. So, how much time should you spend on these exercises? Thomas says you do a little every day. “When you make things a habit, then it just appears suddenly into your mind without thinking and then, before you know it, really, you’re thinking in English.”

27．According to the writer, people may speak a second language slowly because         .

A．they don’t live in a place people speak that language

B．they try to translate from their native language

C．they don’t have time to practice that language

D．they may teach that language by themselves

28．What can we learn from the passage?

A．Your surroundings can help you translate the language well.

B．The sentence structure is the key to learn a second language well.

C．Thinking more in a second language may help you speak fluently.

D．Describing with shorter phrases can help spell the unknown words.

29．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A．To explain why our second language sounds unnatural.

B．To discuss our problems of learning a second language.

C．To show some examples of learning English by thinking.

D．To encourage people to train their brains to think in English.

Have you ever recorded information about your everyday activities by means of a smartphone? Perhaps you’ve tracked (追踪) how many kilometers you’ve run, how many hours you’ve slept or how many calories you’ve burned in a day.

If so, you’ve taken part in a movement called the “Quantified Self Movement”, also called self-tracking. The idea is to take information about your everyday activities and analyze them to help form a healthier lifestyle.

Tracking daily activities isn’t a new idea. In past years, athletes and their coaches kept notes detailing nutrition, training and sleep patterns in order to achieve an athletic goal. Similarly, doctors have also helped patients to record parts of their lifestyles and eating habits to help fight allergies (过敏), headaches and other health problems. However, it wasn’t until 2007 that magazine editors Gary Wolf and Kim Kelly, who started tracking every move they made, invented the term “Quantified Self.” Wolf says that self-tracking will change our sense of self with the purpose of making us more effective in the world.

Self-tracking is becoming a lot more popular these days, as it becomes easier for people to use modern technology tools to track what they’re doing and share it with others. Recently, tools such as smartphones, journals and apps, along with newly published wearable things can help record personal data including sleeping hours, stress levels, heart rate, mood and so on. With these tools, self-tracking can help us recall our behavior with greater accuracy (精确) and see ourselves more clearly.

Although people benefit a lot from self-tracking, Dennis Nash, president of Data Speaks Health Solutions, says self-tracking has its drawbacks. Once people start tracking their daily activities, it can become an addition people like to do often. Also, they might begin to worry too much about their health.

While self-tracking doesn’t guarantee (保证) that one’s quality of life will improve, it can stress the importance of eating well and exercising daily. After all, the Quantified Self Movement’s focus is motivating (激励) people to apply enough energy to make healthier choices.

30．According to the passage, Gary Wolf thinks self-tracking can         .

A．change our personal data     B．improve living conditions

C．help people make choices      D．lead to self-improvements

31．The third paragraph is mainly about         .

A．what self-tracking is          B．why self-tracking is popular

C．who started self-tracking    D．how self-tracking has developed

32．The word “drawbacks” in Paragraph 5 probably means         .

A．disadvantages                B．experiments

C．challenges                 D．differences

33．The writer probably agrees that         .

A．self-tracking can increase people’s self-sense towards a healthier life

B．people need as many tools as possible to track their daily activities

C．people can achieve a better standard of life from self-tracking

D．too much self-tracking may bring people health problems

四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）

We all know that running is good for our healthy. Have you ever thought that running is also good for the planet? Sometimes a creative mind can bring us a win-win situation.

Plogging is becoming increasingly popular after it started as an organizational activity in Sweden (瑞典). What is plogging? It is a term referring to the act of picking up litter while jogging. The term “plogging” is created by combining the English word “jogging” and “plocka upp”, a Swedish term that means “picking up”.

A Swedish man called Eric Ahlstrom started the movement. After moving from a Swedish ski resort to Stockholm, Eric noticed a lot of litter when he rode to work each day. So, he decided to do something about it. In 2016, Eric began organizing groups to pick up rubbish while jogging, and thus “plogging” was born. It spread to other countries in 2018, following increased concern about plastic pollution.

Plogging is considered a perfect activity, as it is positive both for the body, and for the environment. There’s no doubt that moving your body will do great things for your health, and plogging will also add some extra moves like squatting (蹲下) or bending (弯曲) your body. According to a research, plogging for 10 minutes burns 48 calories, while usual jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories. 

Plogging is a movement that anyone can join. To get started, choose plogging route that you know is heavily littered but still considered safe. Do not forget to bring your recyclable rubbish bags and gloves, as well as some hand sanitizer (消毒纸巾) if necessary. You can jog alone or in groups. You can do it early in the morning, or a bit before going to work, or even in the late afternoon. If you’re not much of a jogger, that’s okay! You can take a walk. Anything that suits you! It really does not matter whether you take a 2-mile jog or a 5-mile marathon, or just a 15-minute morning walk, the idea with plogging is that you do some physical exercise while helping to pick up litter!

Every day, about 2 million people plog in over 100 countries. If you have a pair of gloves, a rubbish bag, and enjoy being outside, plogging may be right for you!

34．What is plogging?

35．Who started the movement of plogging?

36．What do you need to bring when you plog?

37．How many people plog in over 100 countries every day?

38．Why is plogging becoming popular?

39. 题目①

Dear Peter,

How are you getting on? I’m writing this email to give you some advice on buying gifts for your family. I think Wangfujing Street is a good place to buy some typical gifts with Chinese culture．In my opinion, buying the following two gifts might be a clever choice: chopsticks and Chinese tea. You will be proud that you can show how to use chopsticks and make tea for your families. There are many other interesting goods waiting for you in shops there, you’d better do window shopping first, then decide to buy them depending on the price and quality. Wish you have an enjoyable experience!

If there is anything that I can do, please let me know.

Yours,

Li Hua

Many people find happiness in helping others. Last year, my good friend Mary was hurt by accident and had to stay at home for several weeks. To cheer her up, I brought her videos of encouragement from our classmates and teachers. When I learned that she was worried about her lessons, I decided to help her with schoolwork. I spent one hour studying with her every day. Days passed quickly, she finally recovered and went back to class. I felt a kind of happiness and joy just because of helping others. It’s an unforgettable experience for me.
