Last year, Abraham Olagbegi got the news that he got a disease and needed a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植). About a year later, the 13-year-old boy got much better news: His transplant was successful, and he could join Make-A-Wish, an organization that helps fulfill (完成) wishes of children with serious illnesses.
That was when Abraham shared an idea with his mom. “I remember when we were coming home after seeing his doctor, he said, ‘Mom, I thought about it, and I really want to feed the homeless,’ ” said Abraham’s mom, Miriam Olagbegi. “I said, ‘Are you sure, Abraham You could do a lot... You’re sure you don’t want to play video games ’ ”
However, Abraham was uninterested in the PlayStation. Instead, in September, Make-A-Wish helped Abraham organize a day to hand out free food in Jackson, Mississippi — the food and supplies were donated by local businesses. They were able to feed around 80 people that day.
“When the homeless people get the plate, some of them would come back and sing to us and thank us,” he said. “And it just really feels good. It warms our hearts. My parents always taught us that it’s a blessing (好事) to be a blessing.”
Abraham’s efforts are not over just yet — Make-A-Wish will help Abraham feed the homeless on the third Saturday of every month for a year. This will last through Aug. 2022, but Abraham already plans to keep it going much longer than that by starting the organization “Abraham’s Table”.
“We’re just very excited to be able to continue on this attempt,” Abraham’s mom said. “If I was out there on the streets, I would want somebody to think of me and to do something special for me. So, that’s what I try to teach my kids and we just try to pay it forward, by doing what we were raised to do.”
4. Why did Abraham’s mom ask him the questions in paragraph 2
A. She noticed his hesitation. B. She was worried about his illness.
C She doubted whether he was serious. D. She hoped he could give up his old habit.
5. What do Abraham’s words in paragraph 4 show
A. He is happy to help others. B. He realized his mom was right.
C. He is thankful for others’support. D. He felt sure he had fully recovered.
6. What is Abraham’s plan
A. To volunteer for charities as usual.
B. To start a restaurant for the homeless.
C. To continue giving the homeless food.
D. To find public support for “Abraham’s Table”.
7. Which of the following can best describe Abraham’s mom
A. Fearless and humorous. B. Strong-willed and calm.
C. Hard-working and independent. D. Understanding and responsible.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是篇记叙文。文章讲述了Abraham Olagbegi在患重病后得到Make-A-Wish组织的帮助，并在康复后希望回报社会，尤其是帮助无家可归的人。文章描述了他如何组织免费发放食物的活动，并计划未来通过成立Abraham’s Table组织来继续他的慈善事业。
4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中亚伯拉罕的妈妈的话“Are you sure, Abraham You could do a lot... You’re sure you don’t want to play video games (你确定吗，亚伯拉罕 你可以做很多事情……你确定不想玩电子游戏吗？)”可推知，在听到亚伯拉罕想给无家可归的人提供食物后，妈妈不太相信，怀疑他是不是认真的。故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中““When the homeless people get the plate, some of them would come back and sing to us and thank us,” he said. “And it just really feels good. It warms our hearts. My parents always taught us that it’s a blessing (好事) to be a blessing.”(他说：“当无家可归的人拿到盘子时，他们中的一些人会回来给我们唱歌，感谢我们。这真的感觉很好。它温暖了我们的心。我的父母总是教导我们，成为一种福祉是一种好事。”)”可推知，帮助他人让亚伯拉罕感到快乐。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Abraham’s efforts are not over just yet — Make-A-Wish will help Abraham feed the homeless on the third Saturday of every month for a year. This will last through Aug. 2022, but Abraham already plans to keep it going much longer than that by starting the organization “Abraham’s Table”.(亚伯拉罕的努力还没有结束——Make-A-Wish将在一年中每个月的第三个星期六帮助亚伯拉罕为无家可归的人提供食物。这将持续到2022年8月，但亚伯拉罕已经计划通过成立“亚伯拉罕的桌子”来让它持续更长时间。)”可知，亚伯拉罕将继续给无家可归的人提供食物。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““We’re just very excited to be able to continue on this attempt,” Abraham’s mom said. “If I was out there on the streets, I would want somebody to think of me and to do something special for me.

When I first heard about Summit Learning, I admitted I was not a bit happy and excited at all. I thought it would require interactions with others. But later, I was astonished when I got to experience it firsthand.
Recently we did a poetry project, and one of the activities was a peer (同龄人) review. I would never have taken part if it was up to me, as I preferred to work independently. But when I got involved, I found in the experience, I had done something that I thought was nearly impossible it made my poetry better. My partner informed me of my mistakes and told me where I could give more detail.
One of our final products of the project was to present our poetry to the class. I’ve always loved public speaking, but I thought with Summit Learning, I would have fewer chances to speak. I was wrong. The peer activities we did with a partner gave me more belief in my ability and inspired me to do more to make my presentation the best it could possibly be.
Interactions like these are what Summit Learning is all about. This style of learning brings a positive and hard-working culture that allows us to push our boundaries and keep going. It creates a sense of community since we are all working towards a similar goal.
As an active boy, I have always been ahead and advanced, but in a normal classroom, there are restrictions on what I can do. With Summit Learning, I can go beyond expectations in projects or move ahead in learning new content when I’m ready. I have ownership of my work and pursue my goals.
Summit Learning has showed me how much people can grow and change. It has helped me see people and myself differently. It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I cannot see myself going back to a normal classroom.
8. What was the author’s initial response to Summit Learning
A. He was unwilling to attend it. B. He was excited to take part in it.
C. He was astonished to hear about it. D. He was unhappy to withdraw from it.
9. How did the poetry project benefit the author
A. It boosted his confidence. B. It developed his sense of humor.
C. It reminded him to be independent. D. It taught him how to organize activities.
10. What can be inferred about Summit Learning
A. It proves the limits of one’s abilities. B. It teaches poetry in a normal classroom.
C. It transforms the traditional way of learning. D. It promotes diversity of classroom objectives.
11. How does the author find Summit Learning now
A. Demanding. B. Admirable. C. Upsetting. D. Conventional.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者参加顶峰学习课程的经历和感受。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“I would never have taken part if it was up to me, as I preferred to work independently.”（我永远不会参加，因为我更喜欢独立工作。）可知，作者对于顶峰学习的第一反应是不想参加。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The peer activities we did with a partner gave me more belief in my ability and inspired me to do more to make my presentation the best it could possibly be.”（我们与合作伙伴一起进行的同伴活动让我对自己的能力更有信心，并激励我做更多的事情，使我的演讲尽可能做到最好。）可知，诗歌活动提高了作者的信心。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“As an active boy, I have always been ahead and advanced, but in a normal classroom, there are restrictions on what I can do. With Summit Learning, I can go beyond expectations in projects or move ahead in learning new content when I’m ready. I have ownership of my work and pursue my goals.”（作为一个活跃的男孩，我一直处于领先地位，但在正常的课堂上，我所能做的是有限制的。有了顶峰学习，我可以在项目中超越预期，或者在准备好后继续学习新内容。我对自己的工作拥有所有权，并追求自己的目标。）可推断出，顶峰学习转变了作者的学习方式。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Summit Learning has showed me how much people can grow and change. It has helped me see people and myself differently.”（顶峰学习向我展示了人们可以在多大程度上成长和改变。它帮助我以不同的方式看待别人和我自己。）可知，作者认为顶峰学习是一件很好的事情。故选B项。

Mouse embryos (胚胎) have been cultured (培养) on the International Space Station (ISS), marking a significant step in understanding reproduction in space. Led by Teruhiko Wakayama from the University of Yamanashi in Japan, this experiment studied the possible safety of human pregnancy (怀孕) during long space journeys, such as a trip to Mars that lasts more than six months. Wakayama emphasized the importance of this research, saying, “We are conducting research to ensure we will be able to safely have children if that time comes.”
The experiment began on Earth, where early two-cell stage embryos from pregnant mice were taken out, frozen, and sent to the ISS on a SpaceX rocket. Astronauts on the ISS then warmed up and cultured the embryos for four days using devices specially designed for this task. Afterward, the embryos were kept and returned to Earth. The four-day growth period was chosen as embryos can only survive for this length outside a uterus, according to Wakayama.
Upon their return, the embryos were examined to check the impact of space’s unique conditions, such as higher radiation (辐射) levels and microgravity (微重力). The results were promising; the embryos showed no DNA damage from radiation and showed normal structural development, including the crucial change into two cell groups necessary for forming the fetus and placenta. Wakayama found these results significant, as it was previously believed that microgravity might prevent the embryo’s ability to separate into these separate cell types.
While these findings are promising, further research is needed to fully understand space reproduction. Wakayama referred to a previous study involving pregnant rats in space, which resulted in the birth of typical-weight rats, suggesting normal development. The team now aims to further study the health of embryos exposed to space conditions and plans to test whether mouse embryos sent to the ISS can develop into healthy young after returning to Earth.
12. What was the main purpose of sending mouse embryos to the ISS
A. To test the possibility of embryos in space.
B. To study the effects of radiation on DNA.
C. To culture embryos using specific devices.
D. To observe the growth of pregnant mice.
13. The mouse embryos showed after being cultured on the ISS.
A. DNA damage from radiation B. failed separation into cell groups
C. adjustment to microgravity D. normal growth
14. Why does the passage mention a previous rat study in paragraph 4
A. To provide supporting evidence for the results
B. To describe the conditions for raising rats
C. To recommend a new research method
D. To introduce an unsuccessful experiment
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Space Mice: A Genetic Revolution
B. Pregnancy in Space: A Mouse Embryo Study
C. Mars Trip: Embryo Challenges
D. Mouse Embryos: Freezing Techniques
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了在国际空间站上培养老鼠胚胎的实验，这项实验是为了研究太空中人类生殖的安全性。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Led by Teruhiko Wakayama from the University of Yamanashi in Japan, this experiment studied the possible safety of human pregnancy (怀孕) during long space journeys, such as a trip to Mars that lasts more than six months. Wakayama emphasized the importance of this research, saying, “We are conducting research to ensure we will be able to safely have children if that time comes.” (由日本Yamanashi大学的Teruhiko Wakayama领导的这项实验研究了人类怀孕在长途太空旅行(比如持续6个多月的火星之旅)中可能存在的安全性。Wakayama强调了这项研究的重要性，他说：“我们正在进行研究，以确保在那个时候我们能够安全地生育孩子。)”可知，该实验，即将小鼠胚胎送往国际空间站的主要目的是研究胚胎在太空中存在的可能性。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The results were promising; the embryos showed no DNA damage from radiation and showed normal structural development, including the crucial change into two cell groups necessary for forming the fetus and placenta. (结果很有希望；这些胚胎没有显示出辐射造成的DNA损伤，结构发育正常，包括形成胎儿和胎盘所需的两个细胞群的关键变化。)”可知，老鼠胚胎在国际空间站上培养后显示正常生长。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Wakayama referred to a previous study involving pregnant rats in space, which resulted in the birth of typical-weight rats, suggesting normal development. (Wakayama提到了之前的一项研究，该研究将怀孕的老鼠放在太空中，结果导致体重正常的老鼠出生，这表明发育正常。)”可知，之前研究结果表明怀孕老鼠生出了体重和发育正常的小鼠，这正好为文中的实验结果（在太空中的老鼠胚胎发育正常）提供了佐证。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了在国际空间站上培养老鼠胚胎的实验，这项实验是为了研究太空中人类生殖的安全性，所以B选项“Pregnancy in Space: A Mouse Embryo Study (太空妊娠：小鼠胚胎研究)”是最佳标题。故选B。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For most people traveling abroad, their first choice is probably to make a beeline for (直奔) tourist sights. For me, I find lots of joy in grocery (食品杂货店) shopping on holiday.
As a vegetarian (素食主义者) , finding restaurants that meet my needs is not always easy abroad. ____16____ The first thing I do, after dropping my bags off, is to go to a grocery store. That enables me to cook breakfast in the morning without walking around for hours trying to find “vegan breakfast” near me.
The variety of foods attracts me every time I travel somewhere new. In Malta, I found the most delicious chocolate-filled cakes, a product I would struggle to find even in the UK. ____17____ I was so delighted that I could enjoy such an unexpected treat. Another surprise was their selection of ice cream available even in the smallest grocery stores.
____18____ Looking for smoked tofu and corn pancakes turns into quite a mission whenever I visit Cluj-Napoca in Romania. There is usually only one variety of smoked tofu, sold in a very small tub (食品盒) and only in the cafeteria section. ____19____ That is because they are never available at the smaller ones.
Grocery shopping on holiday sounds unusual. But it means being involved in the day-to-day lives of a country’s citizens. I can pretend I am a local and put myself in their shoes. I can watch kids begging their parents for sweets, an international experience that needs no language, or watch couples pick up snacks and drinks for a party on a Friday night. ____20____
A. I ended up eating these every day for breakfast.
B. The challenge of finding food is interesting, too.
C. So I always make sure to book a place with a kitchen.
D. Grocery shopping was a vital part of the holiday experience.
E. It’s an act of understanding people as much as of buying food.
F. Com pancakes always require a trip to the bigger grocery store.
G. By wandering around in a new country, I start to see what they value.

根据前文“But it means being involved in the day-to-day lives of a country’s citizens. (但它意味着参与一个国家公民的日常生活。)”以及“I can watch kids begging their parents for sweets, an international experience that needs no language, or watch couples pick up snacks and drinks for a party on a Friday night.(我可以看到孩子们向父母乞讨糖果，这是一种不需要语言的国际体验，也可以看到情侣们为周五晚上的派对挑选零食和饮料。)”可知，前文强调通过购物可以体验当地市民的日常生活即作者通过购物能够参与一个国家公民的日常生活。E选项“It’s an act of understanding people as much as of buying food.(这是一种理解他人的行为，就像购买食物一样。)”承接前文，指出通过购物可以让自己像当地人一样融入当地文化的做法。故选E。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As the school Halloween party was just around the corner, the school hall was full of children dressed in different shapes and colours of spooks (鬼) and wonder. Some walked in as princes and princesses, some stepped in as vampires (吸血鬼) and superheroes and some made dramatic entrances as astronauts and historical figures. But one little girl walked in, hiding her face and hoping nobody would take notice of her grey pants and white T-shirt.
Ellie wanted to dress up as a princess that year. Her dad had promised her a few months earlier that her costume would turn a lot of heads. But, as you know, sometimes dads are too busy with their work and forget the small important things while dealing with the big important ones. When Ellie’s dad forgot to save up for her princess costume for the school Halloween party that year, she wasn’t mad at him. However, she couldn’t hold her tears back when the mean kids from her class started making fun of her.
“What are you supposed to be dressed as Ugly Ellie ” one of the boys laughed quietly. Ellie covered her ears and cried as she heard the kids crying out her latest nickname and laughing naughtily over and over again. Every face around her was unkind and indifferent to her sadness.
Mr. Borges was her favourite art teacher and Ellie liked his classes very much. He would listen to Ellie’s deepest fears and biggest dreams. Ellie lived with her grandmother, but it was Mr. Borges who took the place of her father as her guardian, because her father was too busy with his work.
Just as the boys were making fun of Ellie, Mr. Borges came up to her. He was trying to tell her something. The girl wiped her tears right away and managed to escape the crowd of children, closely following him.
“Wait here!” Mr. Borges said and walked into the supply closet (贮藏室). A moment later, he returned, with a few rolls of toilet paper in his hand. Ellie couldn’t help but wonder why he was holding a few rolls of toilet paper.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“What’s that for ” Ellie asked.

What Mr. Borges did meant everything to Ellie, especially in the field of art.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“What’s that for ” Ellie asked. “It’s your Halloween costume. It’s going to be the best costume ever!” beamed Mr. Borges with thrill. Surprised and expectant, Ellie stood frozen on the spot with her eyes wide open. “Come over here,” Mr. Borges gestured to the costume and started to wrap toilet paper around her all over. Seeing herself in the mirror, Ellie jumped up and down, clapping her hands joyfully. “I love it! I love it! Mr. Broges. Thank you!” She hugged Mr. Borges and placed a tiny kiss on his cheek.
What Mr. Borges did meant everything to Ellie, especially in the field of art. “Thank you for your kindness,” thanked Ellie, with tears brimming in her eyes. Mr. Borges replied with a big toothy smile and encouraged, “I can see your artistic talent. Why not give it a shot ” Under Mr. Borges’ encouragement, Ellie started to pick up the brush and buried herself in fine art. The little girl that used to be teased by her classmates later became a distinguished artist. Never would Ellie forget that there was a teacher with a heart of gold, who was willing to lend her a hand when she was at rock bottom.

Last year, Abraham Olagbegi got the news that he got a disease and needed a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植). About a year later, the 13-year-old boy got much better news: His transplant was successful, and he could join Make-A-Wish, an organization that helps fulfill (完成) wishes of children with serious illnesses.
That was when Abraham shared an idea with his mom. “I remember when we were coming home after seeing his doctor, he said, ‘Mom, I thought about it, and I really want to feed the homeless,’ ” said Abraham’s mom, Miriam Olagbegi. “I said, ‘Are you sure, Abraham You could do a lot... You’re sure you don’t want to play video games ’ ”
However, Abraham was uninterested in the PlayStation. Instead, in September, Make-A-Wish helped Abraham organize a day to hand out free food in Jackson, Mississippi — the food and supplies were donated by local businesses. They were able to feed around 80 people that day.
“When the homeless people get the plate, some of them would come back and sing to us and thank us,” he said. “And it just really feels good. It warms our hearts. My parents always taught us that it’s a blessing (好事) to be a blessing.”
Abraham’s efforts are not over just yet — Make-A-Wish will help Abraham feed the homeless on the third Saturday of every month for a year. This will last through Aug. 2022, but Abraham already plans to keep it going much longer than that by starting the organization “Abraham’s Table”.
“We’re just very excited to be able to continue on this attempt,” Abraham’s mom said. “If I was out there on the streets, I would want somebody to think of me and to do something special for me. So, that’s what I try to teach my kids and we just try to pay it forward, by doing what we were raised to do.”
4. Why did Abraham’s mom ask him the questions in paragraph 2
A. She noticed his hesitation. B. She was worried about his illness.
C. She doubted whether he was serious. D. She hoped he could give up his old habit.
5. What do Abraham’s words in paragraph 4 show
A. He is happy to help others. B. He realized his mom was right.
C. He is thankful for others’support. D. He felt sure he had fully recovered.
6. What is Abraham’s plan
A. To volunteer for charities as usual.
B. To start a restaurant for the homeless.
C. To continue giving the homeless food.
D. To find public support for “Abraham’s Table”.
7. Which of the following can best describe Abraham’s mom
A. Fearless and humorous. B. Strong-willed and calm.
C. Hard-working and independent. D. Understanding and responsible.

When I first heard about Summit Learning, I admitted I was not a bit happy and excited at all. I thought it would require interactions with others. But later, I was astonished when I got to experience it firsthand.
Recently, we did a poetry project, and one of the activities was a peer (同龄人) review. I would never have taken part if it was up to me, as I preferred to work independently. But when I got involved, I found in the experience, I had done something that I thought was nearly impossible it made my poetry better. My partner informed me of my mistakes and told me where I could give more detail.
One of our final products of the project was to present our poetry to the class. I’ve always loved public speaking, but I thought with Summit Learning, I would have fewer chances to speak. I was wrong. The peer activities we did with a partner gave me more belief in my ability and inspired me to do more to make my presentation the best it could possibly be.
Interactions like these are what Summit Learning is all about. This style of learning brings a positive and hard-working culture that allows us to push our boundaries and keep going. It creates a sense of community since we are all working towards a similar goal.
As an active boy, I have always been ahead and advanced, but in a normal classroom, there are restrictions on what I can do. With Summit Learning, I can go beyond expectations in projects or move ahead in learning new content when I’m ready. I have ownership of my work and pursue my goals.
Summit Learning has showed me how much people can grow and change. It has helped me see people and myself differently. It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I cannot see myself going back to a normal classroom.
8. What was the author’s initial response to Summit Learning
A. He was unwilling to attend it. B. He was excited to take part in it.
C. He was astonished to hear about it. D. He was unhappy to withdraw from it.
9. How did the poetry project benefit the author
A. It boosted his confidence. B. It developed his sense of humor.
C. It reminded him to be independent. D. It taught him how to organize activities.
10. What can be inferred about Summit Learning
A. It proves the limits of one’s abilities. B. It teaches poetry in a normal classroom.
C. It transforms the traditional way of learning. D. It promotes diversity of classroom objectives.
11. How does the author find Summit Learning now
A. Demanding. B. Admirable. C. Upsetting. D. Conventional.
D
Mouse embryos (胚胎) have been cultured (培养) on the International Space Station (ISS), marking a significant step in understanding reproduction in space. Led by Teruhiko Wakayama from the University of Yamanashi in Japan, this experiment studied the possible safety of human pregnancy (怀孕) during long space journeys, such as a trip to Mars that lasts more than six months. Wakayama emphasized the importance of this research, saying, “We are conducting research to ensure we will be able to safely have children if that time comes.”
The experiment began on Earth, where early two-cell stage embryos from pregnant mice were taken out, frozen, and sent to the ISS on a SpaceX rocket. Astronauts on the ISS then warmed up and cultured the embryos for four days using devices specially designed for this task. Afterward, the embryos were kept and returned to Earth. The four-day growth period was chosen as embryos can only survive for this length outside a uterus, according to Wakayama.
Upon their return, the embryos were examined to check the impact of space’s unique conditions, such as higher radiation (辐射) levels and microgravity (微重力). The results were promising; the embryos showed no DNA damage from radiation and showed normal structural development, including the crucial change into two cell groups necessary for forming the fetus and placenta. Wakayama found these results significant, as it was previously believed that microgravity might prevent the embryo’s ability to separate into these separate cell types.
While these findings are promising further research is needed to fully understand space reproduction. Wakayama referred to a previous study involving pregnant rats in space, which resulted in the birth of typical-weight rats, suggesting normal development. The team now aims to further study the health of embryos exposed to space conditions and plans to test whether mouse embryos sent to the ISS can develop into healthy young after returning to Earth.
12. What was the main purpose of sending mouse embryos to the ISS
A To test the possibility of embryos in space.
B. To study the effects of radiation on DNA.
C. To culture embryos using specific devices.
D. To observe the growth of pregnant mice.
13. The mouse embryos showed after being cultured on the ISS.
A. DNA damage from radiation B. failed separation into cell groups
C. adjustment to microgravity D. normal growth
14. Why does the passage mention a previous rat study in paragraph 4
A. To provide supporting evidence for the results
B. To describe the conditions for raising rats
C. To recommend a new research method
D. To introduce an unsuccessful experiment
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Space Mice: A Genetic Revolution
B. Pregnancy in Space: A Mouse Embryo Study
C. Mars Trip: Embryo Challenges
D. Mouse Embryos: Freezing Techniques

For most people traveling abroad, their first choice is probably to make a beeline for (直奔) tourist sights. For me, I find lots of joy in grocery (食品杂货店) shopping on holiday.
As a vegetarian (素食主义者) , finding restaurants that meet my needs is not always easy abroad. ____16____ The first thing I do, after dropping my bags off, is to go to a grocery store. That enables me to cook breakfast in the morning without walking around for hours trying to find “vegan breakfast” near me.
The variety of foods attracts me every time I travel somewhere new. In Malta, I found the most delicious chocolate-filled cakes, a product I would struggle to find even in the UK. ____17____ I was so delighted that I could enjoy such an unexpected treat. Another surprise was their selection of ice cream available even in the smallest grocery stores.
____18____ Looking for smoked tofu and corn pancakes turns into quite a mission whenever I visit Cluj-Napoca in Romania. There is usually only one variety of smoked tofu, sold in a very small tub (食品盒) and only in the cafeteria section. ____19____ That is because they are never available at the smaller ones.
Grocery shopping on holiday sounds unusual. But it means being involved in the day-to-day lives of a country’s citizens. I can pretend I am a local and put myself in their shoes. I can watch kids begging their parents for sweets, an international experience that needs no language, or watch couples pick up snacks and drinks for a party on a Friday night. ____20____
A. I ended up eating these every day for breakfast.
B. The challenge of finding food is interesting, too.
C. So I always make sure to book a place with a kitchen.
D. Grocery shopping was a vital part of the holiday experience.
E It’s an act of understanding people as much as of buying food.

But, as you know, sometimes dads are too busy with their work and forget the small important things while dealing with the big important ones. When Ellie’s dad forgot to save up for her princess costume for the school Halloween party that year, she wasn’t mad at him. However, she couldn’t hold her tears back when the mean kids from her class started making fun of her.
“What are you supposed to be dressed as Ugly Ellie ” one of the boys laughed quietly. Ellie covered her ears and cried as she heard the kids crying out her latest nickname and laughing naughtily over and over again. Every face around her was unkind and indifferent to her sadness.
Mr. Borges was her favourite art teacher and Ellie liked his classes very much. He would listen to Ellie’s deepest fears and biggest dreams. Ellie lived with her grandmother, but it was Mr. Borges who took the place of her father as her guardian, because her father was too busy with his work.
Just as the boys were making fun of Ellie, Mr. Borges came up to her. He was trying to tell her something. The girl wiped her tears right away and managed to escape the crowd of children, closely following him.
“Wait here!” Mr. Borges said and walked into the supply closet (贮藏室). A moment later, he returned, with a few rolls of toilet paper in his hand. Ellie couldn’t help but wonder why he was holding a few rolls of toilet paper.
