二、阅读理解（共4题，共 20分）

26、When someone is homeless or trying to recover from a natural disaster, they are in need of a lot of the basic life necessities that many of us take for granted (认为……是理所当然的). While people are often encouraged to donate canned goods, not everyone is thinking about things like shoes.

Of course, you can’t go looking for a new job or a home, if you have no shoes to walk in. One woman in Hays, Kansas took this into consideration, and found a way to help hundreds of people.

Payless stores were going out of business, and shoes were selling for as little as $1 per pair, so a woman named Addy Tritt bought out all the remaining shoes at the Hays Payless store—more than 200 pairs—and donated them to flood victims (灾民) in Nebrsska.

Those shoes were then included in a flood relief shipment taken to farmers in Nebraska by Fort Hays State University. Tritt, who recently graduated from FHSU’s human resources program, wanted to “pay it forward”.

“I have been so lucky,” she said. “There have been so many great people in my life who have inspired me. I see so many terrible things in the news. So many people have helped me when I was down. They influenced me so much that I want to help if I can.”

Tritt has a history of charitable (慈善发) acts. She has donated more than 60 bags of school supplies to Hays students, and organized a baby clothes drive and two supply drives for the animal shelter.

“I really feel I have been directed and guided to help people,” she said. “If you can do something for someone else, you need to find a way even if it is a pair of shoes.”

【1】How did Tritt help flood victims?

A．By sending some food to them.

B．By helping them find new jobs.

C．By selling shoes to raise money for them.

D．By buying shoes for them.

【2】What does the underlined phrase “pay it forward” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Pay ahead of time.

B．Save some money.

C．Pass the love.

D．Put forward the plan.

【3】What made Tritt volunteer to help those victims?

A．The low price of shoes.

B．Other people’s influence.

C．Ideas from her school.

D．The sad situation of victims.

【4】Which word can best describe Tritt?

A．Caring.

B．Independent.

C．Clever.

D．Brave.

27、What would life be like without commas (逗号)? It would be quite confusing. Take this simple sentence as an example: Let’s eat Dad! Without a comma, Dad becomes the food. Add comma, and Dad becomes a partner at dinner: Let’s eat, Dad! The comma enables people to have a better understanding of the sentence.

Here’s another example: Tom said Sarah stole the cake. Here, Sarah is the thief. But add a pair of commas, and Tom becomes the thief: Tom, said Sarah, stole the cake.

The examples above clearly show that people cannot do without commas in writing. Yet, the comma came from oral speeches. Long ago, most people could not read. They listened to the news or stories told by the people who gave speeches. The comma began as something to mark the resting place in a sentence. When reading, the speakers knew where to stop and take a breath.

In writing, commas are like shining red lights on the road. They require that you wait a moment before continuing. And don’t add a comma when you feel like it. There are rules that people shall not break. Learn them, and you won’t be eating anyone or making wrong charges.

【1】Without commas, life would be________.

A．frightening

B．puzzling

C．relaxing

D．interesting

【2】The author uses two examples in the passage to________.

A．tell jokes to readers

B．tell stories to readers

C．show the importance of using commas

D．show the difficulty of using commas

【3】What is the best title for the passage?

A．Commas Make Sentences Clear.

B．Commas Make English Interesting.

C．Commas Make Writing Easy.

D．Commas Make Speeches Surprising.

28、When I asked my 12-year-old daughter and her friends whether the world still needs Disney princesses, the answer was a resounding "yes"!—even though they have already outlived their Prince fantasies and couldn't particularly tell me why.

Spend much time with a four-year-old girl in the U.S., and you will likely see some sort of princess play, whether it be dressing up, acting out stories, or playing with princess-themed toys. This particular type of pretend play is very important lo children. According to some scientific studies, children who regularly engage in pretend play have more positive emotions with peers, score higher on emotional understanding, and are better at emotional regulation one year later. Research suggests that princess play specifically can lead to rich experiences for children as they expand on the stories of familiar characters.

Princesses also provide examples of “women who rule”, showing women and girls that they can be accepted as the heroines of their own stones and lead with wisdom and maturity. In other words, princesses inspire potential.

Adults often think of princesses in a negative way: someone who is too proud or crazy about their appearance. But in children's imagination, the word “princess” allows them to become what they want to be. Maybe they won't save the world, but they will defend their values. Maybe they won't have the perfect figure, but they can develop the confidence to move beyond appearance.

Princesses, I must admit, may still be important today. Princess culture is less about a princess lifestyle but more about great depth of character, serving as a beautiful reminder of self—worth which goes beyond appearance or environment and is found deep within. Therefore, no matter how difficult our circumstances are, princesses encourage us to remember our worth.

【1】Why does the author mention Disney princesses paragraph 1?

A．To attract readers.

B．To give a reason.

C．To lead in the topic.

D．To provide an example.

【2】How does pretend play benefit children?

A．It enables them to play heroines.

B．It makes them get higher scores.

C．It helps them get along with peers.

D．It encourages them to release emotions.

【3】What does "princess" mean to children?

A．Being true to oneself.

B．Keeping a good figure.

C．Defending the world.

D．Having perfect appearance.

【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Why Adults Don' Like Princesses.

B．American Girls Still Like Princesses.

C．Different Views on Princesses Culture.

D．Why the World Still Needs Princesses.

29、 After Reuben Schoots was ill, he found himself with nothing but time on his hands. He dropped 35 pounds and was so weak that he could barely make it out of bed. He lost his job and stopped pursuing his course of study in nutrition at university.

Schoots realized that the life he'd known was over. He was depressed until the day something small caught his attention and would change his life. A visiting friend wore a mechanical glass-backed watch. Its movement was visible. Schoots was fascinated by the synchronicity(同步性)of all the tiny parts working together that made it run. Although watchmaking had never been a pursuit, he realized it was something truly appealing to him and that he could try it during his recovery.

Schoots devoted himself to the techniques of master watchmaker George Daniels, a man famous for his handmade creations. Schoots said only two other watchmakers besides himself had completed a timepiece. It's a process of trial and error of making and remaking; a process that in many ways mirrors Schoots' remaking of his entire life.

He's also come to understand how his own experience might serve as a positive example to those struggling with pandemic-related loneliness. “People are feeling negative and don't like this isolation(孤立).Change hurts,” he said. “But they undervalue the value of downtime and I think people are scared to be with themselves. Evolution comes out of downtime.”

2,500 hours into his project, Schoots is just two pieces shy of completing his first 100-percent handmade watch. The work isn't physically tiring, but it requires focus and concentration.

【1】Why did Schoots stop pursuing his course?

A．He lost some weight.

B．He lost interest in it.

C．He was ill and weak.

D．He was forced to stop by others.

【2】What gave Schoots the idea to try watchmaking?

A．His family's support.

B．The structure of the watch.

C．His friend's encouragement.

D．The appearance of a watch.

【3】What is Schoots' attitude towards isolation and downtime?

A．Positive.

B．Negative.

C．Doubtful.

D．Unclear.

【4】What does the text mainly talk about?

A．Schoots fights against illness.

B．Schoots realizes the value of isolation.

C．Schoots picks up watchmaking.

D．Schoots remakes life through watchmaking.
