I dropped a Crock-Pot(炖锅) on my bare feet. More accurately, I slipped down the back steps of our house on a rainy night while carrying a Crock-Pot. Consequently, my feet got hurt, for which I had to wear slip-on house shoes instead of traditional footwear.
From then on, my daily routine slowed to a crawl because I had to walk at a snail’s pace. And I had to cancel unimportant outings and appointments. At first, I hated the interruption in my plans but I soon realized my injury had given me a gift: spare time. I rediscovered long-forgotten joys I’d thrown aside because I was too busy for such “luxuries”. I read a book for pleasure. I spent time in silence. I experimented with my watercolor set. And my spirit came alive again.
I had been living at such a crazy pace for so long: get up early, bury myself in my tasks at work, do housework, and collapse in the evening with no recollection of what I’d actually done in the past twelve hours. When I was forced to slow down, I realized how unhealthy my life-style had been. Something had to change, or I’d suffer from the consequences.
Finding a healthier balance has been an ongoing process, and now I’ve been able to see improvement. I’ve stopped filling my schedule with back-to-back meetings and obligations. I try to leave some margin(余地) in my time so I can breathe and think. I pay attention to my emotions especially those that tell me I “should” do something. Overall, I make time for the activities that bring me joy.
That encounter makes me realize the importance of slowing down and living with purpose. I make sure my schedule isn’t overloaded. I remember to ask for help when I need it.
24. Why does the author mention the accident in Paragraph 1?
A. To explain an idea. B. To prove a theory.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To make a prediction.
25. Which of the following best describes the author’s previous life?
A. Happy. B. Colorful. C. Successful. D. Busy
26. What do we know about the author’s injury?
A. It caused her great difficulty. B. It changed her daily life.
C. It influenced her personality D. It encouraged her to think positively
27. What is the purpose of the story?
A. To describe a habit. B. To introduce a career.
C. To advocate a lifestyle. D. To discuss a problem.
C
You can see a sea turtle named Hermanan octopus(章鱼) called Octavia, and a seal named Lidia at the Smithsonians National Zoo in Washington DC. Rather than real animals, they are actually artworks made out of plastic trash from the ocean.
These artworks are part of a traveling exhibit called “Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea”. The Washed Ashore project, led by the artist called Pozzi, works to raise awareness about plastic pollution in Earth’s oceans.
More than 315 billion pounds of plastic litter the world’s oceans today. Most of the plastic is garbage from towns and cities, as well as trash that people leave on beaches. Rainwater, winds, and high tides bring the trash into the ocean or into rivers that lead to the ocean. Once it is under the waves, the plastic begins to break up into smaller and smaller pieces.
Thousands of sea animals die each year from eating plastic bags and other things. Each year, millions more pounds of plastic end up in the ocean. A recent study found that if that continues, by 2050 the total weight of plastic will be more than that of all the fish in the ocean.
The Washed Ashore project is working to stop that from happening. Since 2010, Washed Ashore volunteers have collected 38000 pounds of plastic trash from more than 300 miles of beaches. They helped Pozzi create more than 60 artworks of sea creatures harmed by plastic pollution.
“These artworks are a powerful reminder of our personal role and global responsibility in preserving biodiversity(生物多样性)on land and in the sea,” says Dennis Kelly, director of the National Zoo.
28. What can be learned from the data in Paragraph 5?
A. Pollution will be more serious in the ocean.
B. More artworks of sea creatures will be made.
C. The project has made great achievements.
D. Volunteers can get rid of pollution by 2050.
29. What’s Dennis Kelly’s attitude towards the artworks?
A. Worried. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned.
30. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 5 most probably refer to?
A. The use of plastic bags. B. The increase in plastic rubbish.
C. The result mentioned above. D. The breaking up of plastic.
31. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Turning trash into art B. Working for Washed Ashore
C. Collecting plastic trash D. Stopping environmental pollution
D
Maybe you want to give back to your community, but you don’t know where to begin. It was something Rebecca Reeder used to hear from friends whenever they learned she volunteered around the Los Angeles area.
The idea finally took shape during her 30th birthday celebration. Reeder and her brother put together a surprise party for her guests. They rented a party bus in secret and invited everyone she knew to a mystery event. The surprise bus ride was not only a hit but also an effective ice breaker. Many guests had never met before that night but they were all fast friends by the end of the trip.
Reeder and a friend realized this might be the answer for friends seeking fun ways to do good.
Then they began Do Good Bus and hosted their first community ride in 2010. Everyone assumed it would be a one-off(一次的) event, but participants had such fun and felt so good about giving back that they demanded another. And then another. “This kind of things just snowballed from there,” says Reeder, who is now a full-time director of the growing nonprofit(非盈利的) organization.
Over the past seven years. Do Good Bus has offered once-a-month public rides in Los Angeles. Volunteers board the bus and ride to a mystery community service project. Reeder likes to keep the locations and causes a secret to add an element of fun and mystery, and to prevent people from arriving with too much expectation.
Participants pay $45, with 10 percent going to the day’s cause and the rest going to Do Good Bus to help cover costs and run the program.
Rides usually last four to five hours and include everything from working in homeless shelters to beach cleanups to planting community gardens.
The aim, says Reeder, is to raise awareness about causes, and encourage continued support in the community while having a good time.
32. Why did Reeder say the bus ride on her birthday was an ice breaker?
A. It exposed the need of the poor to people.
B. It made people realize how to do good deeds
C. It made people brave enough to stand the cold ice.
D. It helped people get connected in the activity.
33. What do we know about their first ride in 2010?
A. It took place in winter. B. It was disappointing
C. It was a great success. D. The author organized it alone.
34. How does Reeder get the money for the activities?
A. Participants pay for them.
B. The government supports her.
C. She raises money in society.
D. Community covers 10 percent of the cost.
35. What can we know about the Do Good Bus?
A. It takes about 5 hours on the way.
B. It offers a pleasant way to do good deeds.
C. It raises money for the participants’ community.
D. It gives a surprising and friendly celebration.

Dear Tom,
I’m very glad to hear from you. My favorite singer is Ed Sheeran. He was born in 1991 in England and is a famous English singer, song-writer and record producer.
When Ed Sheeran was a teenager he learnt to play the guitar and started to write songs. Ed Sheeran is very successful. He and his songs have received many nominations and awards both in England and abroad. In 2014 he won the “British Artist of the Year” award, and in 2018 his album “Divide” won the Grammy Award as the Best Pop Vocal album of the year.
I like the singer because he has not only catchy songs but he also cares about his fans. He often gives away his clothes to charity institutions. I hope you can enjoy his songs. Look forward your reply.
Yours,
Li hua.

M: I failed the test again. I’ve changed my study methods. It simply didn’t work.
W: Well, you are pushing yourself too hard. You should relax for a while.
(Text 2)
M: Can we talk later? It’s already noon. I need to go for lunch and have the video prepared. I have a meeting to attend in an hour.
W: OK, I’ll let you go.
(Text 3)
W: Mike, can you answer this question?
M: OK. It should be Li Bai or Li Shangyin, if my memory doesn’t fail me.
W: Well, that’s a good guess. But it’s actually Li He.
(Text 4)
W: Oh, I love these paper cuts. They look fantastic!
M: But now many young people think paper cutting is out of date. And I kind of fear that this form of folk art may be lost one day.
(Text 5)
M: I’m crazy about football and I’ve been playing it since primary school.
W: Wow, that’s quite something. But I don’t really care for football. My favorite sport is ping-pong and I watch every Open Competition
(Text 6)
M: Anna, do you have a sweet tooth?
W: Yes. I love eating sweet things very much. I usually have six or seven cups of tea every day. And I take at least five sugars in my tea. What about you?
M: I don’t have a sweet tooth. In my hometown, people don’t eat much sweet food. But after I came to the UK, I found that British people really have a sweet tooth.
W: You can’t be more right. We have a “sweet” culture. I think you’ll fall in love with our “sweet” culture sooner or later.
M: I guess so. As the old saying goes, “When you’re in Rome, do as the Romans do.”
(Text 7)
M: When is your lunch break? It’s already 12:30.
W: I’m working on this report now.

W: Mr. Brown wants it to be on his desk by 1:30. I think I can finish it by then. The problem is I’ll have no time to go out for lunch today.
M: I don’t think you can work well staying hungry. Why not eat a sandwich first? My mom made it for me.
W: Thank you, Adam.
(Text 8)
W: Jeff, I’m glad you dropped by! I’ve been meaning to congratulate you on the Class Leadership Award.
M: Thanks, Professor Bronson. I was really happy to get it!
W: Now, what can I do for you today? Is there anything wrong with your homework?
M: No. Actually I want to talk to you about the test — you know, the one scheduled for Friday afternoon. Well, there’s a trip that my French class is taking. We’re going to Montreal for the weekend. We can get a chance to use our French. The bus leaves right in the middle of the test this Friday. So could I take the test on a different day ... like, Monday morning?
W: Ah ... Wait, let me just see one thing ... For your class, I was planning a take-home exam. Let’s see ... I guess you could come to class on Friday just to pick up the test paper. You can bring it to class on Wednesday, when I’ll be collecting everyone else’s.
(Text 9)

M: Thanks. Oh, my friend Jenny wants to borrow A Dream of Red Mansions. Is it available now?
W: No. Someone has already checked it out last week. If your friend wants to borrow it, she should come and fill out this form so she can be the first one to borrow it when the book is returned.
M: OK. I’ll tell her that. Now I’ll go to find the books I need. And I think I should hurry. I’m afraid it’ll rain soon. Dark clouds are gathering.
W: OK. You can read here if it rains.

It’s always a good idea to make time to catch up with family and friends and share family vacations, birthdays, and graduations together. If you are meeting another family with small children, Legoland California is a good choice. Last summer, I celebrated my daughter’s birthday there. You can begin your vacation to Legoland by flying into San Diego International Airport. The park is about a 50-minute drive from the airport. We chose the Legoland Castle Hotel because it is one of the newest hotels connected to the park. You can get into the park at least 30 minutes before it opens to the public. The hotel includes a full hot breakfast with your stay. Visitors can also choose a themed room that best fits the family: Knights & Dragons, Royal Princess or Magic Wizard. We tried the last one. We had lots of happy memories of our stay in there. So I hope you are inspired to start planning a joint vacation with your family or friends to deepen your connections!
