Today I am so grateful to my daughters for all that we learned while we were growing together. I'm especially grateful for the activities that revolved around kindness and brought joy to us at the same time.

At one time we decided to bake bread for the homeless community on the beach near our home. We took two days during each week to break loaves of bread and also took cheese to each person. As this project went on, eventually for more than two years, one of my daughters started having short conversations with each person she gave bread to. Eventually, we brought some playing cards and checkers and played with some of the people, too. Soon several of our friends joined us and we began to make full lunches once a week for this community.

Years later when I'd say one of the precious free lunch recipients （受助人），they would come up to me and share a nice memory from that time and how much the kindness meant to them and have some friendship with the children, too.

Both of my daughters, now having their own kids, still take time to do kind things for others and the community and then share those with me. I'm grateful for a focus away from self and to find real joy and purpose in being kind.

In 1987, a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen. After more than 30 years of development,

the company has now beaten Apple and become the world's second - largest maker of smartphones behind

Korea's Samsung. It has also become the words largest supplier of 5G.

But recently, Huawei faced some difficulties. The US government ordered a ban （禁止）on its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the US government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed to hurt Huawei's business.

"We have never received such a request from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information, Ren Zhengfei, Huang wei's founder and president said. " The ban from the US would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems,"  Ren added.

In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei with only 20, 000 yuan, but now it has become a $100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic as you imagine. ”

Facing the ban of the US, Huawei is growing. Huawei's smartphone sales around the world rose a lot compared to last year. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far, Huawei has grown into the world's largest telecommunication equipment（电信设备）supplier, selling in 170 countries. It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.

24. What is the correct order of the world's largest smartphone maker according to the passage?

A. Apple - Huawei - Samsung. B. Huawei - Apple - Samsung.

C. Samsung - Apple - Huawei. D. Samsung - Huawei - Apple.

25. What was the excuse of the US government to order a ban on Huawei?

A. Huawei's sales in America were growing faster than Apple.

B. Huawei's smartphones were not good enough to use.

C. Huawei collected information for the Chinese government.

D. Huawei refused to supply services to the US government.

26. How does the writer support his prediction about Huawei's bright future?

a. By comparing.

b. By telling stories.

c. By listing numbers.

d. By giving the definition （定义）.

A. a & c B. c & b C. c & d D. a & b

C

One of the costs of being a lover of old trees is the all — too — frequent loss of a beautiful soul you've grown fond of. Last summer was harder than most for old trees and their human supporters. The spring's nonstop rains flooded soils and caused root systems of many large, old trees to rot in part. Then, when the summer came, trees could not tap deep sources of water that would normally have maintained （维持）them. Many valuable old trees died.

When I volunteered on the Mount Rainier Tree Commission, I heard from many people concerned about their trees. We had little to offer them. That's because public and private urban tree resources and programs were aimed almost entirely at planting trees and not at all maintaining trees. No state or province program that I could find provided any financial resources for maintaining tree health. Small and under resourced cities such as ours were on their own.

This is backward. Scientists are learning that large, old trees arc the most valuable, especially in cities. They put on wood fastest and take the most carbon out of the air. They harbor the most wildlife. They can lower summer temperatures by 20 degrees or more. In a recent study, researchers found that Boston would get more benefit from keeping the trees it has alive than from planting new trees. There's reason to think this finding would apply in other cities, too.

Now, our public and private tree programs often ignore old trees until it is too late. As long as we abandon our old trees, planting more is merely to keep pace with growing losses. We want trees to help protect us, but we leave them unprotected. Consider this in the human world: Nobody would send a baby into the world and expect it to just make it. Children need caring for and it's why we have schools and child health-insurance programs. We could get so much more out of our trees if we just put a little more into them.

27. What does the underlined part in paragraph 1 suggest?

A. Strong determination to plant trees. B. Real regret at growing old trees.

C. Great concern about tree problems. D. Deep love for valuable old trees.

28. Why was the author almost powerless to help people worried about their trees?

A. The urban tree programs were faced with financial problems.

B. The author's knowledge of maintaining tree health was limited.

C. The focus of the tree resources and programs was on tree planting.

D. The organization the author volunteered on was short of tree experts.

29. The author argues in paragraph 3 by                   .

A. comparing different cases B. presenting research findings

C. referring to scientists' sayings D. carrying out some experiments

30 Why docs the author give the example of nursing babies in the end?

A. To stress the importance of tree insurance programs.

B. To show the close connection between trees and babies.

C. To advocate protecting trees as humans care for babies.

D. To persuade human beings to pay more attention to babies.

While it's wonderful to share a special trip and new experience with friends or family, there's an attractive case for travel alone from time to time. Solo （单独的）travel can work for anyone, and here are good reasons why you should try it.

You needn't discuss with others.

It can be challenging to talk over a trip and time away from work with another busy person in your life. 31               Usually, these challenges can be overcome by simply planning far in advance.

You’re your own great company.

If you rarely spend significant time alone, you may be surprised at how enjoyable it can be. 32 Depending on the destination, a solo trip can be a powerful and life-changing experience. Imagine sitting on a peaceful beach at sunset or taking an inviting morning hike alone. 33   .

Meet new people.

If you are a born open person, traveling alone can be a wonderful way to meet locals and make new friends. Often, people who arc alone appear more approachable （亲近的）to others. 34 You could even join a group of like-minded people for yoga on the beach. The key is to keep an open mind while keeping safety in mind, especially in a foreign land.

35  .

For some reason, service at hotels and restaurants seems better when you're traveling alone. People tend to admire those who travel by themselves.

A. Enjoy great service.

B. Do everything you want.

C. Just accompany yourself.

D. If things don't go well, the entire trip can be terrible.

E. You could be chatting with some interesting folks at a sidewalk cafe.

F. You can enjoy such a hike without making conversation with anyone.

G. And it's even more difficult when you try to make plans with a group.

Scientist have found a reliable way to lengthen life in lab animals: Reduce the calories （卡路里）they eat.

This method, 56   （know） as caloric restriction, has been shown to lengthen life of organisms （有机 体）and reduce some age-related 57   （disease）.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I'm Li Hua, an ordinary student. Learning that the English Association of our school is now in need of some volunteers to meet the visiting foreign students, I want to apply for the position.

Firstly, I can speak fluent English and I have little difficulty communicating with foreigners. Secondly, I helped receive some visiting foreigners to our school last year. This experience is sure to enable me to do better this year. I also want to improve my spoken English and help them have a better understanding of Chinese culture.

I would be grateful if you could give me the chance.

Yours,

Li Hu
