Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

I was so fortunate today to be able to offer my love and help to an older lady at my local supermarket. I saw her standing there. I felt quite strange about such a situation.

What was she looking at? As I looked, I found it was a “Shredded Pork Bun Meal Kit”， which is a service that sends customers food ingredients and recipes for them to prepare their own fresh meals. “That's new，” I thought. Then I watched as the lady began to dig into her handbag and tried to pull out one of the biggest magnifying glasses (放大镜) I had never seen in my whole life! “Oh, she can't read it，” I realized.

So I stood there and continued watching her. The voice in my mind often asks me to do the right thing. It told me to help her. But I argued back saying, “No. I won't offer help. It will only embarrass her and she is OK now anyway. She has the world's biggest magnifying glass to help her！”

And I stood there longer. But the voice came back, “Help her, Nicole. Don't be embarrassed. Just do it. Offer your help.” So I did it. I read and explained all the things that were included in that box. I read out the ingredients, the instructions on how to cook it and so on.

She didn't end up buying it, but she was still quite grateful. I walked away knowing that I had helped her and made the right choice. Mostly, I had reminded her that people in this world still care about the old.

She was seen. She was loved. And she mattered so much that a complete stranger took time to help her. And that stranger was me, a person who argued and didn't want to do so in the beginning.

So grateful I am when I choose to listen to the voice in my heart. It is because of love. Love is all that ever really matters. I also get happiness through helping her.

【语篇解读】　作者在超市碰到了一位老太太，她想买一种食物却看不清说明上的文字，作者想帮助她却内心矛盾，最后还是遵照自己内心的指引做出了善举。

B．She couldn't hear the writer clearly.

C．She couldn't see the instructions clearly.

D．She couldn't understand the instructions.

2．Why didn't the writer want to help the lady at first?

A．Because she had some other things to do.

B．Because she considered it a difficult thing.

C．Because she didn't want to make the lady embarrassed.

3．How did the writer get happiness?

A．By following a stranger's voice.

B．By spending time talking with the lady.

C．By stopping the lady from buying the food.

D．By persuading herself to help the lady.

4．What is the best title for the passage?

A．An Unlucky Day  B．The Leading Voice

C．A Scary Experience  D．The Best Choice

答案与解析：B　主旨大意题。文章中作者帮助老人的一系列举动都是遵循自己内心的声音，在自己矛盾时，是这个声音指引着她做出了正确的选择。故选“The Leading Voice”。

Learning a second language

Some people learn a second language easily. Other people have trouble learning a new language. How can you help yourself learn a new language, such as English? There are several ways to make learning English a little easier and more interesting.

The first step is to feel confident about learning English. If you believe that you can learn, you will learn. Be patient. You don't have to understand everything all at once.  It is natural to make mistakes when you learn something new. We can learn from our mistakes.

The second step is to practise your English. For example, write in a diary every day. You will get used to writing in English, and you will feel comfortable expressing your ideas in English. After several weeks, you will see that your writing is improving. Besides, you must speak English every day. You can practise with your classmates after class. You will all make mistakes, but gradually you will become comfortable communicating in English.

The third step is to keep a record of your language learning. You can write this in your diary. After each class, think about what you did. Did you answer a question correctly? Did you understand anything the teacher explained? Perhaps the lesson was difficult，but you tried to understand it. Write these achievements (成就) in your diary.

You must be active in learning English and believe that you can do it. It is important to practise every day and make a record of your achievements. You will enjoy learning English, and you will have more confidence in yourself.

【语篇解读】　有人学习一门外语很容易，但是有的人很难学好一门外语。本文就怎样学习英语，使它更有趣、更容易提出了几点建议。
