As soon as I took my coat off, my brother placed many pieces of paper in my hands and asked if I could start folding them up so they could be put into envelopes. He said it needed to get done quickly before it turned dark.I guessed it was probably something for his business and just got right to it, although I was a little surprised that something could be so urgent on a Sunday. It wasnt until I was halfway through that I actually looked at what I was folding. It was a lovely letter to all the residents of my street and the nearby streets in my neighborhood. My brother was asking everyone to let him know if anyone needed help to get food, medicine or other necessities. He left his contact information there and said that anyone who needed help should get in touch with him and that he would figure something out. And if anyone was able to help out, he would coordinate（协调）it.The town we lived in received an unusual amount of snow last week. Only the major roads had been cleared, and smaller roads could be very dangerous. There are a good number of old people in our little community and my brother thought that the snow might have created some difficulty for some of them, particularly because we live on a hill.Everyone was really touched by his kind behavior and wrote wonderful emails. One of our neighbors wrote an email to him, saying that she was very proud of having a neighbor like him who puts other peoples interests first.My brother was highly praised by our neighbors. I felt very happy that my brother could do such meaningful things. I love living in a street that has such a wonderful sense of community!21What did the authors brother use the pieces of paper for? AFor his business. BTo send them to residents. CTo post them to the authorities. DFor charity organizations.22What didnt the authors brother say in the letter? AHe asked people if they needed help. BHe asked if someone would like to give help. CHe left his contact information in the letter. DHe said he would handle the conflict between the neighbors.23What was the purpose of the letter of last Sunday? ATo tell people to drive carefully on the snow. B. To remind people to walk down the hill slowly. C. To solve the old peoples difficulty caused by the snow. D. To call on local people to clear the snowy roads.BIt sounds like a dream, so if you want to travel around the world for a year and get paid for it, we may have come across the opportunity of a lifetime for you.World Life Experience, a project that combines social goals with a financial support, launched in 2017. Based in Lisbon, it is looking to take 11 people around the world for a year in 2019, travelling, discovering and working with local people and organisations. All expenses are covered and you get paid a salary, and you have until 20 July to apply.The first edition of the amazing experience began back in January 2018, and it is currently taking 11 participants on a trip over three continents. For the second edition, the organization is looking to take the successful candidates to 20 destinations across all five continents in 2019. The total stay in each city will be for two weeks and will involve a programme to carry out social work with local organisations, and a leisure part aimed at tourism and cultural activities. The travellers will get to know different societies and cultures, and each participant will receive a monthly wage of 2,500(US$3,089).Applicants must be between 21 and 39 years of age and meet a specific set of requirements.

Where can we read this text most probably?A. In a fashion magazine. B. In a storybook.C. On a job-hunting website. D. In a travel guide.CNelson Mandela said that if the cultural life of a country is strong, then its soul is strong. In this case, what on earth should we make of Britain, where recent research tells us that 40 percent of our children have never visited an art gallery and that 60 percent of them have never heard live classical music? What is our collective soul like？Expanding our childrens cultural horizons shouldnt just be a duty for the middle classes. Nor should orchestral music be the thing of the rich. Studies show that a developing brain benefits hugely from exposure to the music of the great composers. In a school for children with ADHD（多动症）, Mozart was actually found to cut racing heart rates and improve concentration. Not only that, but it improves learning ability and increases creativity.The great Hungarian composer and musician Zoltan Kodaly wrote, “ If a child is not filled at least one by the life-giving stream of good music during the most formative period- between the ages of six and sixteen - it will hardly be of any use later on.”I once launched a music festival in Somerset. A huge part of our audience had never heard a live orchestral concert before and to say they were changed by the experience is an understatement. I still meet people who talk about that day with a kind of amazing energy. It was the same when I took an orchestra north, to a rather remote town. There we played for 500 or so teenagers who had never heard such music, and we touched them in a way they would never forget.As people today connect with each other by electronic means, such moments of communal（共有的）musical witness become increasingly rare and even more important. Inter-generational, classless experiences barely exist. This is why I want to destroy the restrictive conventions（惯例）that have grown up around classical music.28Mozart was mentioned in the second paragraph to show that _ .Amost children nowadays prefer classical musicBchildren with ADHD will be cured by listening to musicCexposure to good music can benefit a developing brainDexpanding childrens cultural horizons isnt a duty for the middle classes29The underlined part in Paragraph 4 means “_”.Athey were disappointed at the experienceBthey refused to make any changeCthey were changed by the experience greatlyDthey expected the experience could bring them some changes30From the text we know that _.A40 percent of British children have never heard live classical musicBgood music improves concentration and increases creativityCZoltan Kodaly thought good music was useful at any ageDthe author held a music festival for 500 or so teenagers in Somerset31The main idea of the text is that _ .Achildren need to listen to live classical musicBclassical music can improve childrens concentrationCwe should expand childrens knowledgeDthe restrictive conventions should be destroyedDA new alarm system has been designed to help parents monitor their children when they are playing by a pool, even if they cannot see their children.The system, from Dolphin Alarm, consists of three pieces: a wristband（腕带）that a child wears, an alarm stationed in the pool and an alarm that goes off in ones home should an accident occur. Electrical engineer John Barstead has taken about 13 years to create a reliable swimming pool alarm system. It was designed after his neighbors child died because of a drowning accident that could have been prevented.There are about 10 drowning accidents happening by chance in the US each day, and about 20 percent of them happen to children under 14 years old, according to research. They website for Dolphin Alarms shows research claiming that 70 percent of preschoolers（学龄前儿童）who drown are being watched by at least one parent at the time of the incident. One of the biggest threats to a child once they have fallen in the water is brain damage, which takes as little as four minutes underwater to set in.Dolphin Alarms stresses the efficiency of the new product during accidents when every second counts. Non-swimmers were a wristband that sends a signal to a receiver device floating in the pool immediately if it comes into contact with water. The wristband is suitable for children under two years old and sends out sound frequencies upon being immersed（浸没）in pool water. The receiver in the pool is programmed to pick up on these frequencies and it sounds an alarm along with a second device, which can be placed in ones home up to 170 feet from the pool. “ Once the frequencies are absorbed, a loud alarm will be set off at the swimming pool and in the house at the same time,” a Dolphin Alarms statement explained. The alarm system works in saltwater and freshwater pools.The product will come to the market assuming the technology makes it to production in the future.32According to the text, the alarm system_ .A. can only be used in freshwater nowBis made up of three main partsCcan be used for the children under 12Dwill be produced in large numbers soon33What can we learn from the text?AIt took John Barstead about 13 years to complete the invention.BJohn Barsteads son died in a drowning accident.CMost of accidental drowning in the US happen to children under 14.DJohn Barsteads neighbor encouraged him to invent the alarm system.34What is the last but one paragraph mainly about?AWhy the alarm system was created.BHow the alarm system works.C. The sad facts about children drowning. DThe product features of the system.35What is the purpose of this text?A. To stress the importance of swimming safety.B To introduce readers to a swimming alarm system.C To encourage people to make their children learn swimming.D To give some tips on how to protect children from drowning.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Stay-Healthy Tips for the HolidaysStay healthy and fit this holiday season by staying active, having fun and avoiding those extra calories.1.Keep the focus on fun _36_ Christmas at your house might not be the same without such foods, but that doesnt mean food has to be the focus. Instead, throw yourself into other things like decorating or tree-trimming(修剪树木)， which can also bring fun.2. _37_Do your family members meals conflict with yours? Heres how to compromise. Say they wake up later than you do, and serve breakfast at 10:30.

Their late breakfast will count as your “real” breakfast, plus some of your lunch. _38_3.Cut down your own Christmas treeRather than buy a tree from a roadside shop where the trees have been drying out for weeks, visit a tre farm that allows you to cut your own. _39_ Youll burn off calories by walking around the grounds in search of the right tree, and your family will have one more pleasant holiday memory to look back on.4.Stock the fridge with healthy meals _40_ Thus, you dont have much time to cook healthy meals during the holiday.

And I did the only thing I could think of : leave the thief a(n) _41 _. I make an 8-by-3-foot cardboard sign and _42_ it across the front of my house.

But I knew other peoples bicycles had been _46_in the neighborhood, and I left the sign up for seven days.On Wednesday evening, I got the first knock on my door.

On my doorstep was a middle-aged woman. She said when she read that I needed a bicycle for work, she made her husband _54_ the car to see if there was anything she could do. I told her that I had _55_ for a bike-sharing activity, so I didnt need another bicycle. _56_, what mattered most was that she stopped, so I thanked her again.I was _57_ , because so many people had wanted to help me.
