As time passed, teachers finally knew all of their students and slowly everyone began to head inside, except for me. No one called out my name, and no one seemed to know I existed. I spent the next month in my new classroom quietly. I felt a wave of fear, loneliness and sadness came over me.It turned out the school administration never cared that I didnt speak English, but something else was teaching me English. Every morning when my aunt drove me to school and picked me up, she always had 106.7 Light FM on. It was this station that introduced my young ears to the English sounds of R&B, soul, jazz and much more.Because of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, I learned the difference between witch and which. While watching the TV show South Park, I was attracted by the funny characters. I related You bastards!” to anger and saved it in my mental word bank. In fact, thanks to pop culture, the world of English became not so hard to me while it was being turned down at school.I also learned how to express my emotions thanks to pop culture. One day at school, we were taking a math quiz and the whole class was quiet. Suddenly, the tip of my pencil broke and I yelled, “You bastards! Everyone held their breath in surprise and I laughed to myself because something at that moment told me I had just learned my first bad word in English.Four months passed before the school placed me into an ESL program. By this time, I was speaking broken English and making myself understood. Finally, I learned how to speak and write English at a more advanced level, and I owe it all to pop culture.24.

How I fell in love with musicC. Pop culture taught me English D. How I overcame learning difficultiesCLet us begin by saying what causes our dreams. Our dreams do not come from another world. They are not messages from some outside source. They are not a look into the future, either.All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold, his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on ice or in snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today.So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleeping（feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc. ）and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now. This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, homesick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom.To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of the experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton. He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling his hand gently!There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem. They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words dreaming is a way of having your wishes carried out.28. From the passage we know that our dreams_.Aare imagination of our daily lifeBare mans curious look into the futureChave nothing to do with our feelingsDare to some degree connected with our feelings29. In your dream when you feel like eating something it indicates（暗示）that_.Ayou are in a state of being coldByou are in a state of being tiredCyou are in a state of hungerDyou should have had your dinner that day30. Older children often dream of examinations probably because_.Athey are interested in examsBthey are often worried about their studiesCthey hope for better lifeDthey show much interest in their studies31. Some scientists explanation of dreams _.Ais not widely accepted though a bit reasonableBgives an exact description of our lifeCprovides us with information of dreamsDis of no use for usDWhen I was five or six years old，I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world. I would say to myself，“When I grow up, when I can get rich，I will save kids all over the world.”At 17，I started my career here in America, and by the age of 18, I started my first charity( 慈善) organization. I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years, and met, helped, and even lost some of the most beautiful souls, from six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2020 from leukemia(白血病), and whose story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors, to my grandmother, who lost her battle with cancer in 2020, and her death is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation(CLF). Were all human. And we all just want a chance: a chance at life, a chance in education, a chance at a future, really. And at CLF, our mission is to impact as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one.People make it seem too hard to do charity work. The truth is, you dont have to be rich to help others. You dont need to be famous. You dont even have to be college educated. But it starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in class，the kid down the block in your neighborhood. You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can. And today, I want to challenge each of you to make a decision to help one person, one organization, one situation that touches your heart. My grandmother always used to say. “If youve got a dollar, theres plenty to share.”32What did the author want to do at a young age?AWatch TV. BGrow up quickly.CBecome wealthy. DHelp other children.33What directly caused the author to create and develop the CLF?AA six-year-old kids request.BHer grandmothers death of cancer.CMany volunteers inspiration.DOther organizations encouragement.34What does the underlined word“one”in Paragraph 2 refer to?AA chance. BA task.CA life. DAn organization.35What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?ADo little things to help those around them.BWork hard to get a college education.CChallenge their friends to offer help.DDo charity work whoever you are.第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从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。Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways. 36 Second, your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test.
