Agnes opened her home to anyone in need, sharing what little she had. Despite the harsh conditions, her generosity kept everyone’s spirits high. The storm lasted for weeks, but eventually, it passed. When the snow melted, the villagers found themselves surrounded by an abundance of wildflowers, something they had never seen before. It was as if nature itself was thanking Agnes for her kindness.Years later, when Agnes passed away, the villagers decided to honor her memory by planting a garden in the center of the village.

"I love to learn the Chinese language because it is very nice, important and I want to travel to China to complete my studies there," Karim al-Areqi, a student of the private Languages Model School in Sanaa, told Xinhua.Teacher Mohammed Al-Ansi, who learnt the language in China and received a university degree, stressed(强调) the importance of learning the Chinese language. "It is the language of the future and it is necessary for all people to get advantages from the great development in China," he said.Like many other private elementary and secondary schools in Yemen, the Chinese language is a basic part of the Languages Model School's courses, where the students study Chinese as actively as math and science subjects. "In teaching the Chinese language, I succeeded in educating students in a simple way that fits everyone," Al-Ansi said proudly, stressing that teaching Chinese has changed his life without doubt.Al-Ansi expects that Yemen and China will work together to set upcenters and schools for teaching the Chinese language in Yemen so that many young Yemenis can learn. "I hope that a branch of the Confucius (孔子学院), could be built in Yemen to teach the language and spread the Chinese culture to many students and researchers who are interested in learning the Chinese culture and language," he said. Many people in Yemen see that learning a foreign language may open a way of hope to a new life, such as getting more money and paving(铺平)the way to a bright future in the country that has experienced war for almost five years.15.The passage tells us that Mohammed Al-Ansi .A.has got a university degree in Yemen B.sings Chinese songs well C.thinks it important to study Chinese D.owns a language school 16.In the Languages Model School, the students .A.consider Chinese a simple language B.do well in science and math C.take pride in Mohammed Al-Ansi D.are active in learning Chinese 17.The 4th paragraph is mainly about .A.the Chinese culture B.Mohammed Al-Ansi's hopeC.centers for learning Chinese D.the way of doing research18.It can be learnt from the passage that .A.many young Yemenis learn Chinese for a better futureB.learning Chinese is sure to make Yemenis richC.more and more Yemenis are going to work in ChinaD.Chinese has been popular in Yemen for five years二、阅读还原6选5Sam was from a poor country. In order to make money, he went to work in the US three years ago.He spent several days looking for a job there. 19 Many American students also worked there. Their work was not difficult. They just needed to wash the dishes. But the boss(老板)said to them, “You must wash every dish eight times,” All of the workers weren’t happy, but they had to follow the order. In the beginning, Sam did his job very carefully. 20 After two weeks, Sam found that the boss didn’t check their work very often. He thought maybe he could just wash the dishes less times. 21 He did his work very fast. The boss felt very happy with him. One day, a worker in the restaurant asked Sam why he could wash the dishes so fast. 22 The worker felt surprised but said nothing. A few days later, the worker told the boss about it.23 Sam had to look for jobs in other restaurants, but none of them would accept him because of his dishonest(不诚实的)behavior. Sam was sad but he could do nothing.根据短文内容,从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项(其中有一项多余)。

D.Polite.CA new rubbish sorting system (垃圾分类系统) has been put into use in Fangchengyuan Community in Beijing.Local people not only sort their rubbish, but also put QR codes (二维码) on it.“When the rub bish is collected and the codes are seen, I will get reward points to exchange for small gifts and even some money,” one of the local people told reporters.“It's really creative and encouraging.”China produces quite a lot of rubbish every year.Much of the rubbish is buried (填埋) in soil or burned without being ndfills (填埋场) take up a lot of land and have a risk of polluting the soil and water nearby.And burning rubbish can produce harmful gases.Through rubbish sorting, we can reduce the use of landfills and air pollution.What's more, rubbish sorting saves resources, which could bring economic benefits (经济利益).For example, a ton of waste paper can be reused to make about 850 kg of paper, saving 17 trees and 50 percent of water.Because of their benefits, some countries have developed successfully sorting systems.Japan has a strict and detailed system.When people throw away a water bottle, the cap, the wrapper (包装纸) and the bottle itself have to go into three different bins.In Australia, every family is provided with three rubbish bins—the red lid (盖子) bin for “general waste” like food and plastic bags, the yellow lid bin for “recycling” like steel and glass, and the green lid bin for “green waste” such as grass and leaves.On the streets, the bins are printed with pictures of the things that are allowed inside.It makes recycling quite easy.61.What will local people probably get if they put daily rubbish into the new system in Fangchengyuan Community?A.A computer.

Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our mobiles and click. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo or WeChat, waiting to be “liked”. Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal, to see whether we get “liked” or not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal.Does that sound familiar to you? Do you do that often? If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you?A recent study suggests that what we are used to doing is not so good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant. To test this, some researchers did an experiment. Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. As a result, it showed that the more photos they took, ▲. So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you?Besides the scientific result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. After posting the photos onto the Internet, one will not be able to control himself and check his mobile many times. “Does everyone like my photos? I hope a lot of people like them!” It seems that your mobile secretly calls your name all the time, even when you are with real people.So, next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people around you. Trust me, and it will be a wonderful time.41. From the passage, what happens a lot at the dinner table nowadays?A.

Some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals.44. Which of the following is the writer's opinion?A. We take our mobiles and click when a dish comes.B. We check our mobiles from time to time during the meal.C. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant.D. Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food.45. What can we learn from the passage?A. Take photos of food in order to have a wonderful life.B. Take photos of delicious food and share them with others.C. Remember to have dinner with our family and friends at home.D. Enjoy the life with people around us instead of taking photos of food.B【2020·甘孜州】I love singing.

In Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets. And they have them as their good friends.

One of them might be :Their family tie is not as close as ours. When Children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends(B)Life gets noisier every day and very few people can be free from noise of some sort or another. It does not matter where you live-in the middle of a modern city, or a faraway village—the chances that you will be disturbed by plane, radios, oil—powered engines, etc., are almosteverywhere. We seem to be getting used to noise, too. Some people feel even quite lonely without background music while they are working.Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be very frightening experience for human beings. However, some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums. The noise level in some disco is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.One recent report about noise and concentration suggests that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration, however, what really affects their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise. It goes on to say that a background noise, which does not change too much, music, for example, may even help people to concentrate..Judge the following sentences true(T)or false(F)()1. The pollution of noise has become worse here and there.()2. In the passage “background music” means a kind of music coming into your ears.. ()3.

The passage is mainly about background music.(C)Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the United States. People of different ages from 12 to 83 were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfasts.The results show that if he or she eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight(增加体重)instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.Choose the best answer according to the passage you read.()1. During the test, the people were given ______ .A. no breakfast at allB. different food or sometimes nothing to eatC. very rich breakfastsD. little food for breakfast()2.
