He sat in his wheelchair unable to move. As soon as he saw me he started smiling. He could not talk but his laugh melted the hearts of everyone walking by.One of the teachers told me that he was actually very smart. He just could not control his muscles due to a childhood disease. He was happy and popular at his schoolhis parents love and encouragement made all the difference. On the contrary, at a book signing session, I met a girl by the name of Anne. She walked up with her mom with a bright smile. Anne asked about my book with a slur（含糊不清) in her speech indicating a slight head injury. I told her about it and she smiled the whole time and asked me to sign one for her. I did.Five minutes later, I heard a voice from Annes father, “You know you will not understand the book. You arent smart enough.” He said it so loudly that people were staring in their direction. She was absolutely crushed（使消沉）and her bright smile was now replaced with a look of total despair. He brought the book back to me and asked me to take it back. I asked him if he would allow me to purchase the book for Anne, but he said no with a heartless response. I thought back to Matt. He could not speak, walk, run or play but was actually very happy and even doing well in school because of the love and encouragement of his parents. Anne, on the other hand, had a slight learning problem and may never know happiness or success because of a serious and disapproving father.What kind of parents are you?

The children with disability are well worth sympathizing.CThere was a time in the 1960s and 1970s when some people believed that coffee would replace tea as Britains favourite drink, but that did not happen, and today, tea remains Britains favourite drink.To say that the British are fond of tea is something of an understatement（轻描淡写). From the Royal(皇室的) Family down to the homeless and the out-of-work, tea is more than just a pleasure. It is an important part of life!The popularity of tea in the United Kingdom has a long history. It was in 1657 that Thomas Garway, the owner of a coffee house, sold the first tea in London. The drink soon became popular as another choice besides coffee.In those days, however, tea was not something for anyone. For a century and a half, it remained an expensive drink. Many bosses served a cup of it to their workers in the middle of the morning, thus inventing a lasting British institution, the “tea break”. But as a social drink outside the workplace, tea was served for the nobility(贵族) and for the growing middle classes. Among those who had the money for tea, it became very popular as a drink to be enjoyed in cafes and “tea gardens”.It was the 7th Duchess of Bedford who, in around 1800, started the popular “afternoon tea”, which took place at about four oclock. At about the same time, the Earl of Sandwich popularized a new way of eating bread with something (e. g. jam) between them, and before long, a small meal at the end of the afternoon with tea and sandwiches had become part of a way of life.As tea became much cheaper during the nineteenth century, its popularity spread right through British society. Inworking-class households, it was served with the main meal of the day, eaten when workers returned home after a days labour.This meal has become known as “high tea”.Today, tea can be drunk at any time of day. Most people in Britain drink tea for breakfast. The mid-morning “tea break” is an institution in British offices and factories. Later in the day, “afternoon tea” is still a way of life in the south of England and among the middle classes, while “high tea” has remained a tradition in the north of Britain.43. Who played an important part in the beginning of tea time in England?_A. Thomas Garway. B. The Royal Family.C. The Earl of Sandwich. D. The Duchess of Bedford.44. What does the underlined word “institution” mean in Paragraph 4?_A. drink B. workplace C. tradition D. order45. What can we learn from the passage?_A. The “tea break” kept the workers from being sleepy after lunch.B. Workers could enjoy a cup of tea in “tea gardens” at their workplace.C. “High tea” was usually served with the main meal for the middle classes.D. The “afternoon tea” together with sandwiches became popular in around 1800.46. What is the best title of the passage?_A. The Popularity of Tea B. Tea and the BritishC. Tea and the Middle Class D. The History of TeaDVolunteering is one of the major assets (宝贵的财富) of any American city or town. People get together to help others less fortunate than themselves, or victims of a natural or man-made disaster. Since the start of our country this has been one of the noticeable features of our society.Beginning in the Colonial (殖民的) Period and continuing down to today our countrys history is full of examples of people helping each other.Requiring high school students to participate in voluntary community service projects introduces them to this important part of our society. And while many students complain about this program at first, a large number of them find great individual satisfaction when they look back at the things they achieved.Our son, who graduated in 2020, found that he enjoyed the time he spent with primary school students helping them with their reading. In some ways he became a hero to the young boys and girls he was spending time with, simply because he was a high school student and took the time to get to know them. By the end of his first year in the program he was looking forward to the next school year and a new group of kids. It was particularly satisfying when a child he had helped saw him some place in the community and remembered him.Having high school students take part in required community service activities helps give them an important sense of belonging to the adult world. It also gives them first-hand experience in activities and situations they might not otherwise experience. And it shows them that they can make a valuable contribution towards the society with just a little effort and a few hours of their time.Yes, some of the students are going to complain and try to avoid participation. But lets not destroy a good program just because of a minority who would complain whatever the activity.47. What kind of feeling is expressed in Paragraph 1?_A. surprise.B. doubt. C. concern. D. pride.48. The underlined part “this importing part” in Paragraph 2 refers to “_”.A.volunteering B. negative part C. American history D. the Colonial Period49. What do we know about the authors son?_A. He has been a volunteer for about one year.B. He won much respect for his voluntary work.C. He hoped the children he helped would remember him.D. He felt pleased when he was recognized by other volunteers.50. In Paragraph 4, the author mainly discusses _.A. the benefits of required volunteeringB. the importance of first-hand experienceC. the requirements for being a volunteerD. the responsibility of contributing to society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。How to read more and learn moreThese days, more and more Chinese people enjoy sending and receiving messages on the phone.
