“Well, we could use some hot dogs,” I said.

I was at the food kitchen of our local church. They had a small shop where I would sometimes stop to     1     T-shirts or a CD for my son. Once in a while, I would also step back into the kitchen and ask if     2     needed anything. I had got the help of food kitchens myself a few times     3     I was a young father trying to feed my own family, and I was     4     to give something back now.

This time I could see that most of the shelves were     5     with boxes of dry foods. One thing they said they needed was     6    , however. Hot dogs were cheap and I didn’t mind getting some     7     the little spare money I had. I soon found myself in the     8     and filling my cart with as many packs as I could     9    .

As I was paying for them, my mind flashed back to my own      10     . I could see my mom cooking two hot dogs in a pot of boiling water. Next, she put them on a piece of white bread with cheese. To top it off she would      11      a little ketchup (番茄酱). Then she would hand me the plate with her gentle smile and I would eat them      12     . It didn’t cost much but to me, that little boy I had been, it was a feast (盛宴)      13     , and eaten with happiness.

That memory was still      14      my heart as I dropped off the hot dogs to the food kitchen. It felt good to know that some other little boy or girl out there would soon be having a happy      15     . And as I walked to my car, I could feel my mom smiling at me proudly.

Dancing to save the earth!

Visitors to an arts venue(场馆) in Glasgow, Scotland, now have the perfect reason to keep dancing as hard as they can.

The venue, which is called SWG3, has started a system(系统) , that uses the heat produced by dancing as a source of energy. The more energetically people dance, the more heat they create.

The project, which is called Bodyheat, was officially started on 6 October, but it was tested during the COP26 conference(第26届联合国气候变化大会) in Glasgow in November 2021. At the event, world leaders discussed how to solve climate change problems. The system storedthe heat from visitors and used it to get lights and heating. Now, the owners of SWG3 say they’ll be able to turn off their gas boilers and use Bodyheat as all their heating. This would add up to big money. The hope is that by 2025, SWG3 will not be giving off any carbon.

Dr. Jon Gluyas, from Durham University, told the BBC that the Bodyheat project was a “really good move”. He said it could help with the energy problems in the UK by producing more energy here instead of having to depend on buying energy from other countries. Angus Millar, said, “People really are making Glasgow greener—while having a great time.”

16．From the text, we learn that Bodyheat project ________.

A．was first started in November, 2021

B．is highly praised by the owner of SWG3

C．has been tested in most cities in Scotland

D．needs young people only to dance together

17．It can be learnt from Dr. Jon Gluyas’ words that ________.

A．people don’t need energy from other countries

B．there’ll be enough energy by 2025

C．Glasgow City will be greener and greener

D．Bodyheat has solved the energy problem.

18．The text might be probably from the part of ________ in a newspaper.

A．culture B．environment C．business D．sports

Stooping(弯腰) , the practice of searching and digging out thrown-away things on city sidewalks, has caught on in big Chinese cities, where young people have taken to the new movement.

A young man nicknamed Luo Ergou recently rode a second-hand electric bike through Hutongs, in Beijing, in search of valuable things that had been thrown there.

Luo first learned about stooping in July when he saw a post by a vlogger nicknamed Boniu on Xiaohongshu, who had over 20, 000 followers there. Boniu was introduced to stooping when she studied in the UK. After she returned, she brought the culture of stooping to China.

A skilled stooper knows where and when to search. Luo searched in Hutongs two or three days a week. He explained that street cleaners and some elderly in Hutongs also get good things. To avoid competing with them, Luo usually goes from 8 p. m. to 9 p. m. , when the elderly are at home and city cleaners are off work.

Stoopers also tend to turn street finds into things they need. Luo has turned a wooden box into a storage box. He has also turned a headboard he recycled into a cat toilet. Luo said something in sidewalk finds gives him a sense of achievement, adding that he has bought any tool for this purpose.

“One person’s trash is another person’s treasure.” Luo also pointed, “Stoopers should share photos of sidewalk finds along with addresses online so that the other stoopers can pick up the finds. For stoopers, before they bring a good discard home, they need to find out whether they actually need it.

“It is a tradition of hard work and simple living,” Luo said.

19．The underlined phrase “caught on” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.

A．come true B．taken place C．broken out D．got popular

20．According to the passage, Luo Ergou ________.

A．brought the culture of stooping to China

B．liked to turn old objects into useful things

C．searched in Hutongs from 8 a. m. to 9 a.m.

D．picked up old things to sell them online

21．Paragraphs 4 and 6 are mainly about ________.

A．how Luo searched for old things

B．why Luo was interested in stooping

C．what a good stooper is like

D．where stoopers should share photos of finds

22．The best title of the passage might be ________.

A．Share treasures on line

B．Spread a new game in China

C．Learn to give away old things

D．Bring old objects back to life

Most runners think about speed and the distance they cover. But Lenny Maughan is focused on the image he will run today. “I’m using the streets of San Francisco as my painting cloth and my footprint is my paintbrush.” Around the world, people record their daily walks, runs, with location tracking (位置跟踪) software which depends on GPS satellites circling the earth.

Some people like Maughan turn their movement into art. They call it GPS art or run art. Maughan runs his design in one continuous line. Gary Cordery, a bicyclist in Britain, keeps track of people doing GPS art around the world. Last year he found that most of it was about Covid GPS art.

To sit down before you go out and study something on a map and think “I’m going to run a marathon today, but in the shape of a polar bear or something. I think it’s just that in another way.”

Over the past seven years, Maughan, a retired IT worker, has done one GPS art once a month.

Ideas come from daily life or from looking at the San Francisco map to see what comes to him. It might take two hours to create the design to make sure that it doesn’t go through any walls or highways.

“It helps.” says Maughan. That GPS is getting better, telling which side of the street he is on, but he’s not a perfectionist.

“I know what I want it to look like, but how it turns out at the end, I’ll never know until I finish it. It’s an art that depends on technology, careful planning and imagination.”

23．How does the writer lead into the topic in Paragraph 1?

A．By asking questions.

B．By giving a description.

C．By giving an example.

D．By making a comparison

24．In paragraph 2, “it” refers to ________.

A．the design B．run art C．the line D．the map

25．According to the passage, we can learn that ________.

A．the topic of the GPS art is the same every year

B．Maughan takes part in the marathon in order to win

C．the image that Maughan finishes is the same as he designs

D．Maughan finishes the run art with the help of GPS satellites

26．The passage is written mainly to ________.

A．introduce the GPS art to people

B．call on people to run a marathon

C．encourage people to draw a picture

D．ask people to share their experience

The thing about space is that it’s impossibly huge. It took three days for the Apollo missions (代表团) to get to the moon. It takes between five months and a year to get to Mars. Of course, that’s still in our neighborhood. The nearest star is Proxima Centauri(比邻星) , which would take the Voyager spacecraft 8, 000 years to get to.

We’re not really built for space travel. We don’t live very long.

We need oxygen, warmth, water and food, space exploration (探索) is a really dangerous adventure (冒险活动).

When I was a kid, exploring space was a big deal. My first space exploration was to land on Mars. Honestly, I was expecting it to find alien life. Of course, so there were no living things or anything else.

And when the Space program was first announced, I believed that the future was on its way. Humans were going to explore the universe (宇宙), meet aliens and live on other worlds. And it was all going to happen in my lifetime. Of course, New Horizons, and Cassini. None of these missions have carried astronauts.

But we need to go on exploring the outer space. The next step doesn’t have to be Mars. It would be cool to find life somewhere in outer space.

On January 28, 1986, I watched the Space Shuttle Challenger take off. The teachers at my school had set up TVs so that we could get encouraged. Instead, we wanted more. We still do.

27．The first two paragraphs mainly talk about ________.

A．the efforts of the humans

B．the discovery of the stars

C．the difficulties of space travel

D．the history of visiting space

28．When the writer was a kid, he expected space exploration to ________.

①help humans live on other planets   ②have adventures in outer space

③find alien life on Mars    ④bring aliens back to the earth

A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④

29．From the passage, we can learn that ________.

A．it would take 800 years to reach the nearest star

B．the writer felt angry about the death of astronauts

C．the school paid much attention to the study of space

D．astronauts on VoyagerⅡ landed on Mars successfully

30．The last paragraph is written mainly to ________.

A．tell students to give up studying space

B．encourage us to keep studying space

C．show honor to those dead astronauts

D．care for the safety of astronauts

61．例文

To improve the students’ handwriting, our school had the First English Handwriting Competition.

It was held in the hall on Saturday, Dec.10th. Many students took part in the competition. They were required to copy a short story. After comparison, the best works was found and the student was given a prize. We also saw many amazing works of English handwriting.

I think it’s a good activity. As we all know, English handwriting plays an important role in exams. This activity encourages students to practice more to write English words better.
