At the age of sixteen, I joined a volunteer group with my dad. I went on my first volunteer project in West Virginia. On the night we arrived, we discovered that “our family” was living in a trailer (拖车) that was in poor condition. A crew had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another surfaced.
We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new house — something unusual but necessary under these circumstances. The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.
On Tuesday of that week, while we ate lunch together, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, “What do you want for your new room?” Expecting toys and other gadgets that children usually ask for, we were surprised when Josh responded, “I just want a bed.”
The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.
When we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. We could hardly contain ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning.
That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds together, Eric ran into the house to watch us. Too dirty to enter his room, he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm from the doorway.
As my father slipped a pillowcase (枕套) onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, “What is that?” “A pillow,” he replied. “What do you do with it?” Eric continued to ask. “When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” I answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as he handed Eric the pillow. “Oh... that’s soft,” he said, hugging it tightly.
Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent, my dad gently asks, “Do you have a pillow?” We know exactly what he means.
4．Why did the writer’s volunteer group decide to build a new house for the poor family?
A．The trailer was too small to hold such a large family.
B．Some strangers had donated some money to the family.
C．The trailer was in such poor condition that it couldn’t be fixed up.
D．The crew that had been working on it for two weeks asked them to do so.
5．How did the writer feel when Josh responded, “I just want a bed.”?
A．Amazed. B．Thrilled. C．Confused. D．Embarrassed.
6．What can we infer from the father’s words at the end of the story?
A．What he will buy is not what they want but a pillow.
B．His children should do more volunteer work for the poor.
C．His children should not waste money on cheap things.
D．What they ask for may not be necessary.
7．What do we know about Eric?
A．He was accustomed to sleeping with a pillow under his head.
B．He didn’t enter the room when he asked the questions.
C．He slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows.
D．He begged the volunteer group to buy some pillows.

Nobel prize-winners, well-known authors, and famous scientists — you might think all these people were born to be creative. However, that’s not always the case.
While well-known figures like Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein did their most significant work in their youth, famous American poet Robert Frost and English-born natural scientist Charles Darwin were known as “late bloomers”— people whose talents were not noticeable until later in life.
This idea of “peaking” at different times inspired new research from the United States. “Many people believe that creativity is exclusively (独有地) associated with youth, but it really depends on what kind of creativity you’re talking about,” said Bruce Weinburg, a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and co-author of the study.
According to the study, published earlier this month in the journal De Economist, there are two types of people: conceptual (概念的) and experimental thinkers.
To reach this conclusion, researchers took the 31 previous winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and arranged them according to when they did their most significant work, to identify their creative peaks.
Some peaked from ages 25-29. Classified as conceptual thinkers, these people think outside of the box, coming up with new ideas before they become used to the conventional way of doing things.
The second creative peak came with economists in their 50s. These are experimental, thinkers who have been in their fields for a long time. This allows them to learn from errors and experiment with different processes, before eventually finding new solutions.
“Whether you hit your creative peak early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach,” said Weinburg. He added that their study isn’t limited to economics, saying it can apply to other creative subjects. So if you’re struggling to come up with new ideas, don’t panic. Your creative peak may be yet to arrive.
8．Why is famous American poet Robert Frost mentioned in paragraph 2?
A．To indicate that some people showed their gifts in their late years.
B．To indicate that some people showed their talents in their early years.
C．To indicate that some people made great achievements with others’ help.
D．To indicate that some people did their most significant work through efforts.
9．How did the researchers draw the conclusion: there are two types of creative people?
A．By referring to some data.
B．By doing some experiments.
C．By interviewing some creative people.
D．By adopting the means of logic reasoning.
10．What can we learn about conceptual thinkers?
A．They have been in their fields for a very long time.
B．They prefer to use the conventional way of doing things.
C．They are often young and think outside of the box.
D．They learn from errors and experiment with different processes.
11．What does Weinberg probably agree with?
A．It’s difficult to find one’s talent in later years.
B．People’s great creativity can come at any time.
C．Most people take a conceptual approach when thinking.
D．Conceptual thinkers could be more successful in the art field.

A diverse crowd of several hundred people queued up in front of the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco on Thursday morning for a ceremony that meant more to them than just the issue of a popular postage stamp.
The United States Postal Service’s launch of a special stamp for the Year of the Rabbit has come to symbolize more than just a collectors’ item for many. “We constantly talk about celebrations of our diversity as strengths,” San Francisco Mayor London Breed said at thestamp’s launch. “The Lunar New Year represents thousands of years of history. It is the time to promote this (Asian) community in such an extraordinary way.” Breed emphasized that San Francisco is a place where discrimination(歧视)against Asians is unacceptable.
Inspired by decorated masks used in dragon and lion dances, USPS art director Antonio Alcala worked on the beautiful rabbit stamp design with artist Camille Chew.
Jay Xu, director of the Asian Art Museum, said the Lunar New Year celebrations and the stamp launch all reflect the recognition of “our community’s fine integrity(正直)and essentialism” to the United States. “It enables us to tell more stories—our past, our presentand our future,” said Xu, adding that people could strike up a conversation through the collection of artifacts(历史文物)such as stamps. “Stamps can go everywhere and can define friendship between different countries and cultures. This stamp is for all. The Lunar New Year is for all.”
Derek Kan, a member of the USPS board of governors, said, “For more than three decades, USPS has issued stamps highlighting the Lunar New Year, and they are some of the most successful stamp releases in our history.”
Chloe Chan, a second-generation Chinese immigrant, said the rabbit stamp is very “artistic” and worthy of her long wait in line. She has collected every stamp the USPS has issued for the Chinese New Year celebration. Chan is hopeful that her children and grandchildren will observe the Lunar New Year the same way she does, with housecleaning, holiday decorations, rituals(礼仪)and food to honor family roots and the Chinese culture.
The USPS issued its first Chinese New Year stamp for the Year of the Rooster on Dec. 30, 1992.
12．Who expects that her or his later generations will celebrate the Lunar New Year?
A．Chloe Chan. B．Jay Xu.
C．Derek Kan. D．London Breed.
13．How did Antonio Alcala get the inspiration to design the stamp?
A．He observed a lot of rabbits raised on a farm.
B．He looked through a collection of Asian artifacts.
C．He took notice of the masks used in some dances.
D．He sought for opinions from the Asian community.
14．Which can replace the underlined word “highlighting” in paragraph 5?
A．Requesting. B．Scheduling.
C．Emphasizing. D．Monitoring.
15．What is a suitable title for the news report?
A．USPS keeps issuing stamps highlighting Lunar New Year
B．Artistic rabbit stamp worthy of being displayed
C．Stamp goes everywhere and defines friendship
D．Rabbit stamp symbolizes culture bond

43．考查非谓语动词。句意：中国家电巨头美的集团的地板清洁机器人销量也在增加，今年通过阿里巴巴集团的企业对客户平台全球速卖通从西班牙、法国和俄罗斯获得的订单更加频繁。receive与orders是逻辑动宾关系，应用过去分词，作宾语补足语。故填received。
44．考查副词。句意：像Zeblaze和美的一样，数以万计的中国供应商现在通过跨境电子商务平台在全球范围内销售他们的产品。此处修饰动词sell，应用副词，作状语。故填globally。
45．考查名词复数。句意：与此同时，越来越多的中国品牌在海外消费者中越来越受欢迎，专家表示，这是对中国制造和供应链能力的肯定。brand是可数名词，作主语，由空后are可知，应用名词复数形式。故填brands。

【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了作者和妹妹本打算在父亲节给父亲一个惊喜，在遇到李爷爷后，改变了主意，决定去帮助他，让作者觉得度过了有意义的一天。
【详解】1. 考查动词语态。句意：做完作业后，我和妹妹按计划去买了一些蔬菜和礼物。分析句子结构可知，finish的逻辑主语是I，两者间是主动关系，用现在分词的完成式作状语，无需用被动语态。故删除been。
2. 考查非谓语动词。句意：我们本该给父亲一个大惊喜的。分析句子结构可知，be supposed to中的to是不定式的标志，后应接动词原形。故将giving改为give。
3. 考查介词。句意：突然，我想到了一个主意。分析句子结构可知，此处考查固定搭配：come up with意为“想出”。故在came up后加with。
4. 考查连词。句意：之后，我们给父母打了个电话，告诉他们我们将在李爷爷家吃午饭。分析句子结构可知，“we made a phone call to our parents”和“told them that we will have lunch at Grandpa Li’s”两句间是并列关系而不是转折关系。故将but改为and。
5. 考查动词时态。句意：之后，我们给父母打了个电话，告诉他们我们将在李爷爷家吃午饭。结合上下文时态以及told可知，文章是描述过去发生的事情，此处应该用过去将来时。故将will改为would。
6. 考查代词。句意：听到我们所做的，他们很高兴，说我们真的很有爱心。根据句意可知，此处应是“听到我们所做的，父母他们很开心”符合语境，应用they指代。故将we改为they。
7. 考查名词。句意：午饭后我们帮李爷爷做了一次大扫除。结合不定冠词a和形容词thorough可知，此处应用名词作宾语，clean为动词，应用名词形式cleaning。故将clean改为cleaning。
8. 考查形容词。句意：虽然我们很累，但我们觉得我们度过了有意义的一天。分析句子结构可知，此处是倒装句，此处作were的表语，应该用形容词形式。故将Tiredly改为Tired。
9. 考查形容词。句意：虽然我们很累，但我们觉得我们度过了有意义的一天。分析句子结构可知，此处修饰名词day，应该用形容词修饰，meaning为名词，不符合题意。故将meaning改为meaningful。
10. 考查定语从句。句意：我相信在我未来的生活中，这一天将永远被我记住。分析句子结构可知，此处引导定语从句，先行词是day，关系词在从句中作主语，应该用which或者that引导。故将when改为that/which。
52．Dear David,
How are you doing? I have received your email. Now let me tell you about the trip to the beautiful village in the suburb of our city last Saturday.
At 7:00 in the morning, all the students and teachers of our class set off from our school and after half an hour’s ride, we got to our destination. Rows of new houses greeted us as we approached the village. Then we saw the village with trees and grass here and there and clear rivers flowing around it. We visited the vegetable greenhouses, where the farmers told us they had become rich by selling vegetables and watermelons. At last we chatted with other farmers to know about their present life.
The beauty of the village made a deep impression on me. It is amazing that such great changes have taken place in the countryside.
Yours,
Li Hua
