Things were not going well for David McCartney on the evening of January 9th, 2006. David McCartney, the father of two, was running late to a meeting, and had been stopped for a speeding ticket. But the delay (延误) put him right where he needed to be when Elizabeth Testerman’s car ran out of the road，catching fire and bursting into flames (着火). Thinking fast, McCartney called 911 and ran to Testerman’s car and pulled her out from the car with the help from two others. “I got to save a life,” says McCartney. “So it would end up being a pretty good day.”

That life-changing event led to a longtime friendship with Testerman, who encouraged him to continue to do good things for other people. In 2019, her message inspired McCartney, a distance runner, to donate his kidney (肾脏) to a stranger before death. Since then, McCartney’s goal has been to run 50-plus-mile marathons in his own state to increase awareness about knowing kidney disease, and also raise money for Team Mason. It is a local organization that brings peopled awareness of kidney disease.

Though McCartney had donated one of his kidneys, he also had to accept the fact that he never got to meet the person who received his kidney, because he or she chose to remain anonymous. “I would have liked to shake his or her hands,” he explains. “But you can’t know what the person is going through.”

After he recovered from his donating kidney, McCartney finally got back to run—but this time, with a new purpose. “We’re trying to get people involved in all the states,” says McCartney. “We’ve got to take this platform as far as we can.” “It’s a big business,” adds McCartney. “But if the sun is shining, we’re running.”

24．How did McCartney feel at last on the evening of January 9th, 2006?

A．Moved. B．Grateful. C．Upset. D．Proud.

25．What do we know from paragraph 2?

A．Testerman had set up Team Mason before she died.

B．McCartney tried to get people aware of kidney disease.

C．McCartney donated one of his kidneys to Testerman.

D．Testerman died of a serious kidney disease.

26．What does the underlined word “anonymous” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Unnamed. B．Curious. C．Responsible. D．Special.

27．Why did McCartney get back to run after his recovery?

A．To exercise so that he could recover soon.

B．To raise money for those with kidney disease.

C．To make more people to know about kidney disease.

D．To win 50-plus-mile marathons throughout the US.

Nola （August 21, 1974 -November 22, 2015） was a northern white rhino who lived at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park near Escondido, California. At her death, she was one of only four remaining northern white rhinos in the world. The other three lived in Kenya. World Rhino Day, held on September 22, is to raise awareness（意识）of the less than 30,000 other rhinos left on Earth.

“Rhinos need our help today, not tomorrow. "Nola's lead keeper Jane Kennedy said. "Last year we lost over 1,200 rhinos just in South Africa. If we continue to lose more than 1,000 rhinos a year, in 10 to 20 years all the rhinos on the earth will be gone."

Unfortunately, most animals are in danger of dying out because of humans. Kennedy says, “Humans have either poached （偷猎）animals, or because there are over seven billion of us, we've taken up too much of the world's resources." Poachers illegally hunt rhinos for their horns （角）.They sell the horns for thousands of dollars per pound, to be used for art, jewelry, and decorations. Experts believe that one rhino is poached every eight hours.

In 1975, the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research started the Frozen Zoo, a program through which researchers have collected cell samples（细胞样品）from more than 8,000 different types of animals, including the northern white rhino. Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells, they will get greater understanding of it, and will find ways to increase its numbers.

At the San Diego Zoo, children and adults are welcome to visit and speak with zookeepers to learn about rhinos. For more information, go to www.worldrhinoday.org.

28．What is the purpose of setting up a World Rhino Day?

A．To honor a rhino named Nola.

B．To draw people's attention to rhino protection.

C．To let people know the importance of wildlife protection.

D．To tell people there are still a great number of rhinos left on Earth.

29．What can we infer from paragraph 2?

A．Rhinos will die out soon.

B．The number of rhinos is increasing.

C．Rhinos are under good protection.

D．Immediate action should be taken to protect rhinos.

30．What's the main cause for the decrease of rhinos, according to Kennedy?

A．Human beings' technology. B．The limited natural resources.

C．The pollution of the environment. D．Diseases found on their horns.

31．In which part of a newspaper can you read such a passage?

A．Science. B．Sports. C．Education. D．Business

D

The film, which has got 600 million yuan in only three days, is Ne Zha. For most Chinese born in the 1980s, their knowledge of Ne Zha comes from the ancient novel Fengshen Yanyi, as well as the 1986 TV series The Journey 10 the West and the 1990 hit drama Fengshen Bang. The stories of Ne Zha are retold in different ways in different times.

In the film, Ne Zha has a big change to his look. Another character, the Dragon King’s third son Ao Bing, almost destroys Ne Zha’s birthplace, Chen Tang Guan, in a selfish way. Ne Zha’s father, Li Jing, is no longer selfish as described in the past works; instead, he becomes a kind father willing to give up his own life to rescue his son. Ne Zha is born with a “cursed destiny”. He is unfairly treated by local villagers who believe that the naughty, yet good-hearted, child will grow up to be a public danger. In Ne Zha’s eyes, he believes his destiny is not predetermined and that he can choose to be a demon or a god.

“Humans are complex. You cannot judge a person with prejudice” the director said.

32．In 1990, there was a popular drama with the name         .

A．Fengshen Yanyi B．Fengshen Bang C．Ne Zha D．The Journey to the West

33．What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A．Ne Zha nearly destroys Chen Tang Guan.

B．The Dragon King’s third son Ao Bing is selfless.

C．Local villagers consider Ne Zha good-hearted.

D．Li Jing used to be described as a hero in the past works.

34．What does the underlined word “destiny” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Dragon. B．Life. C．Father. D．Work.

35．Where can you probably read this passage?

A．A textbook. B．A newspaper. C．A travel journal. D．A science magazine.

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My dad doesn’t write me letters. And he doesn’t always remember my birthday or wedding anniversary -- or even how old I am sometimes.

But I only need to look around me to be reminded of his love. He restored a 100-year-old rocking chair after I told him how much I wanted one. When I moved into my first apartment, he spent his weekends in a small space replacing pipes. And when I lost a blue stone from a favorite necklace, he worked his magic with common stuff

The four greatest words I know are “Dad will build it”.

I could never forget when I was seven, one day we walked by a toy store window. There in the corner was the most unusual doll house had ever seen. It was shaped like an upturned log. Little oval windows were cut into it decorated with white curtains and framed by tiny balconies.

“Oh, Daddy,” I said, “isn’t it beautiful? Do you think Santa Clause will bring it to me?”

Dad looked at the $100 price tag -- too high a figure in those days. “I think even Santa couldn't afford this house,” he joked, hiking up his belt, as he often does when he’s nervous. “Maybe one day, sweetheart, ”Dad probably hoped I’d forget about the doll house, but I kept talking about it.

On Christmas morning, I awoke early and raced downstairs. In the faint light, I made out some wrapped boxes under the tree-- but none large enough to contain my doll house.

Dad could see my disappointment.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Four months later, a beautiful doll house was in front of me.

66．One possible version Dear Albert,

How is everything going? I’m writing to invite you to take part in an activity whose theme is cultural heritage protection.

The activity is going to be held at 8:00 a.m. next Sunday in our school lecture hall. Firstly, there will be a speech competition where students voice their opinions on how to protect cultural heritage. Next, a lecture concerning the theme will be delivered by our history teacher, Mr.Chen, after which you can ask some questions. Finally, you will appreciate a cultural relics photo exhibition. Not only can it let students have a further understanding of ancient history, culture, and traditions, but improve their protection awareness. So meaningful is the activity that you can’t miss it.

Looking forward to your early reply.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

67．Para1:

Dad could see my disappointment. My tears welling up in eyes, he pulled me onto his lap and gently assured me, “Dad will build it.” As promised, he got down to preparing all the materials right after Christmas. Night after night, Dad would come home from his job dead tired, yet he’d always find time to work on the doll house. So eager was I that I often stood nearby, occasionally giving a helping hand under his instructions. Gradually, my doll house began to take shape.

Para2:

Four months later, a beautiful doll house was in front of me. With the shape like an upturned log, it looked exactly the same as the one in the toy store—little oval windows, white curtains and even the tiny balconies. But to me, no doll house in the world was better than the one Dad made just for me with his two hands. It was he who brought my dream to life! Screaming with excitement and gratitude, I threw myself at him, “Thank you, Dad.” He smiled, patting me gently on the head with his rough hands. I always know “Dad will build it.” is his Fatherlish to say “I love you.”
