In the Pascucci household, putting up Christmas lights was always a big day of celebration and a family affair. Every year, Anthony Pascucci, the male head of the family, and his older sister, Connie Pascucci, and Anthony’s son, Anthony Jr., and daughter, Sara, pitched in it.

In 2020, Anthony Sr., 60, tied colorful lights all around their roof until it looked as if the brightness of the lights could counter some of the darkness of the past year with COVID-19. However, just several days after Christmas Eve the pandemic claimed his life.

Sara says the next weeks were the worst of her life. But when she pulled up to the house at the end of a long day, the twinkling Christmas lights brought her a spark of joy. Taking the lights down felt like a final act of closure she wasn’t ready to take. So she kept them up.

One day Sara received an unsigned letter which read “Take your Christmas lights down! It’s Valentine’s Day!!!” Sara was shocked and angry. She decided to post the letter. “I wanted to remind people that we all had a tough year and people should be a little more caring toward each other,” she says.

“I know what it feels like to lose someone and not want to put their things away. It’s very hard,” one man commented. And something strange began to happen. Sara was driving back from work one day when she noticed that Christmas lights were appearing—or reappearing—on neighbors’ houses. The mystery had a sweet explanation: Her neighbors had gotten together and decided, collectively, to hang their lights back up and turn them back on in honor of Sara’s father.

“To see the lights and the block lit up again,” Sara says, “it touched my heart.” A few weeks later, Sara decided she was ready to take down the lights. Sara said it was hard to pack them away—“but not as hard as I think it would have been if we hadn’t experienced all that support and love.”

4. In Sara’s family, putting up Christmas lights ______.

A. was a family routine

B. was Anthony’s responsibility

C. was the biggest event in a year

D. could remove the darkness of the past year

5. Sara kept the lights up because ____.

A. they reminded her of her father

B. it was still Christmas season then

C. it was too troublesome to remove them

D. they were extremely colorful and bright

6. Sara posted the unsigned letter in order to ____.

A. ask for netizens’ help

B. share her anger and shock

C. criticize the person who wrote the letter

D. appeal to people to care about others more

7. Which can be the most probable title for the text?

A. Up in lights. B. Sara’s sweet neighbors.

C. An unforgettable Christmas. D. Let your neighbors’ lights on.

C

Istanbul, Turkey, is one of the world’s most attractive cities, where the ancient and modern blend together almost effortlessly, where Europe meets Asia, and where friendly, generous, and charming locals always have a story to tell. Istanbul is the only settlement in the world that sits on two continents. The Bosporus, a busy waterway, divides the city in two: the western part being the European side and the eastern part being the Asian side. Because there are many monuments and other things of interest, taking a boat ride down the Bosporus Strait is the best way to see Istanbul.

The ideal way to see the city in the shortest amount of time is to hire a catamaran—a sailing boat with two hulls (船身). On a catamaran, you can travel the length of the Bosporus to either the Black Sea or the Sea of Marmara, seeing all that Istanbul has to offer. A catamaran is very convenient, but it has one big shortcoming—it doesn’t allow you to mingle with the local residents, perhaps the most interesting part of this unique city. To get a taste of the native culture, you should take one of the many ferries that are used for public transportation and are more affordable than catamarans. Though they don’t go as far as the catamarans, you can still see many of the highlights of Istanbul, and the ferries allow you to mix with Turkish people and see how they live.

There are total 48 piers and 22 public ferry lines along the Bosporus. The lines are priced according to the distance travelled. Istanbul’s Public Ferries has two main lines that include: Domestic Trips and Bosporus Tours. They operate every 15-20 minutes, leaving regularly from the main downtown ports of Eminonu and continue running throughout the day until 23:00 pm. It’s quite an experience to sit in the tea shop located in the middle of the ferry, watching jewels like the Topkapi Palace and the Hagia Sophia float by. Waiters in regional costume bring you “cay”—Turkish tea—in glasses with cubes of sugar on the side. Sightseeing on the Bosporus as you sip on your tea is a magical way to witness the beauty of Istanbul.

8. Which is true according to Paragraph 1?

A. Europe is a place worthy to be explored.

B. Istanbul is known as a transcontinental city.

C. Boat riding has a very long history in Istanbul.

D. The Bosporus is the best way to know Turkey.

9. What does the underlined word “mingle” mean in Para 2?

A. mix. B. sit. C. rent. D. eat.

10. What do we learn about ferries in Istanbul?

A. They are charged by time and distance.

B. They are highly used by foreign tourists.

C. They can be one of the tools for sightseeing.

D. They can be taken from central ports in the city.

11. This text is most probably taken from ______.

A. a novel B. a guidebook

C. a history textbook D. a scientific research

D

Traditional public schools assign a child to a given school based on his family’s place of residence. As Coleman pointed out, residential assignment promotes division between schools by family background. It creates motivation for families to move to the “good” school districts. Under this system, schools cannot serve as the equal-opportunity engines of our society.

The most promising social policy for fighting the effects of family background, then, could well be the expansion of programs — small schools of choice. These programs allow families to choose schools without regard to their neighborhood of residence. An analysis of more than 100 schools of choice in New York City between 2019 and 2020 might tell us something. It witnessed 9.5 percent increase in the graduation rate of a group of educationally and economically disadvantaged students, at no extra cost to the city.

Small schools of choice might also build the social relationship that Coleman considered crucial for student success. First, small schools are well positioned to build a strong school culture. Helping students to cultivate networks of social relationships better equips them to handle life’s challenges. While schools may not be able to compensate fully for the negative effects of an unstable family, a strong school culture can transform the “social ecology” of a disadvantaged child.

Small schools of choice also encourage a voluntary community that comes together over strong ties and shared values. Typically, schools of choice feature a clearly defined mission and set of core values, which may come from religious traditions and beliefs. The Notre Dame ACE Academy schools, for instance, strive for the twin goals of preparing students for college and for heaven. A focused mission also helps school administrators attract like-minded teachers. A warm teaching staff can be particularly beneficial for children from unstable homes. Exposure to well-functioning adult role models at school might promote well-being and positive emotional development.

12. What might be the effect of residential assignment?

A. The school system might become fair.

B. Families prefer good living environment.

C Schools will be the equal-opportunity engines.

D. Houses in good school districts might be favored.

13. Who might benefit from small schools of choice?

A. Students from an honored family.

B. Students with a strong sense of culture.

C. Students with economical disadvantage.

D Students from a noble place of residence.

14. Why are The Notre Dame ACE Academy schools mentioned?

A. To prove effect of religious traditions.

B. To display the benefit of a warm staff.

C. To promote well-being of adults.

D. To attract like-minded teachers.

15. What might be the best title of the passage?

A. Small Schools of Choice B. Schools over Shared Values

C. Effects of Family Background D. Ways to Improve Education

47. 阅读下面材料，根据内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的故事。

It was an unusually quiet day in the emergency room. Quiet, that is, except for the nurses who were standing around the nurses’ station complaining about having to work on Christmas Day.

I was triage (分诊) nurse that day. Since there were no patients waiting to be seen at the time, I came back to the nurses’ station for a cup of hot cider. Just then an admitting clerk came back and told me I had five patients waiting to be evaluated. “Five, how did I get five? I was just out there and no one was in the waiting room.” I complained. So I went straight out and called the first name. Five bodies showed up at my triage desk, a pale woman and four small children in somewhat messy clothing.

“Are you all sick?” I asked suspiciously.

“Yes,” she said weakly, and lowered her head.

“Okay,” I replied, unconvinced, “who’s first?” One by one they sat down, and I asked the usual questions. When it came to descriptions of their presenting problems, things got a little vague. A six-year-old girl had a headache, but the headache wasn’t accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Three children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough, but seemed to work to produce it.

Something was wrong with the picture. Our hospital policy, however, was not to turn away any patient, so we would see them. I checked the chart after the admitting clerk finished registering the family. No address—they were homeless. The waiting room was warm.

I went back to the nurse station and mentioned we had a homeless family in the waiting room. The nurses, complaining about working on Christmas Day, turned to sympathy for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas. The team went into action as much as we do when there’s a medical emergency. But this one was a Christmas emergency.

We took turns joining in the waiting room.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As the family were to leave, the six-year-old came running back.
