Emily Bhatnagar has always loved reading. “Growing up, I was really shy, so I always turned to books,” she said. “They became my best friends when I didn’t have one.”
In 2019, when Emily was in her second year of high school, her dad suffered from cancer. The news was difficult for the family. Books became an even bigger comfort, and she started thinking about families in similar situations. When her father recovered, she came up with a plan to help others. “The idea came from the fact that there were kids who were facing the same problem,” she said.
Then Emily started the book drive in her hometown, Gaithersburg, Maryland. The goal was to collect books and give them to kids being treated for cancer in local hospitals. Her father was not surprised by this plan. “She always wants to do things for the neighborhood,” he said. Since the start of the book drive, which she calls For Love & Buttercup, Emily has collected more than 10,000 books.
Emily had no idea how much attention her work would get. She started by posting on social media, asking people in her area to donate. “I was expecting maybe two or three neighbors to do it,” she said. “But it ended up blowing up,” especially when newspapers began reporting it.
The Children’s Inn is one of the places where Emily has donated books. “Donations like Emily’s share a piece of the world with kids and families that they may not experience,” said its director, Aisha Campbell. Emily continues to run the book drive with her parents’ help. She hopes to one day make it reach more kids. The memory of the first time she visited children who’d received her books sticks with her. “It was the best day of my life,” she said. “I realized I wanted to do this type of work forever.”
4. What made Emily come up with the book drive
A. Her father’s illness. B. Her care for others.
C. Her habit of reading. D. Her own shyness.
5. What did Emily’s For Love & Buttercup want to do
A. Help her father defeat cancer. B. Give her father a surprise.
C. Comfort other kids in need. D. Collect books for hospitals.
6. How did Emily feel about the book drive at first
A. Uncertain. B. Surprised. C. Proud. D. Disappointed.
7. What is Emily’s future plan
A. Getting more help from her parents. B. Starting another book drive very soon.
C. Making her program benefit more kids. D. Writing books about her experiences.
C
Across much of Spain on Tuesday morning, a thin layer (层) of red dust (尘埃) coated everything outside. This included cars, buses, trees, and plants.
As the sun rose, the dust in the air turned the skies in some cities a strange orange. The cause of the dust and unusual sky color wasn’t a forest fire, but the dust from the Sahara Desert. Every year, a large cloud of dust rises from the Sahara Desert. It’s called the Saharan Air Layer. Usually, it crosses the Atlantic Ocean as part of a natural cycle (圈) that helps develop farmland in Central and South America.
But sometimes, depending on the weather, the layer of dust gets forced to the north. Large sandstorms in northern Africa lift sand and dust into the air, where it gets blown toward Spain. These kinds of storms aren’t unknown in Spain. In fact, it has a special name, calima. It is so large that it can be seen from space. A NASA scientist says it’s like a river of dust in the air. That river of dust has met with a river of wet air driven by strong winds. People in some cities, like Malaga and Navarra, reported that it was raining dust. In other places, the dust changed the color of the snow on the ground.
The dust cloud continued to move north and west, hitting both France and the United Kingdom. The dust is expected to keep stalking, possibly as far north as Denmark. The dust cloud may make some places a little foggy and sunsets very colorful.
Some weather experts warn that climate change could make dust storms from the Sahara Desert even more serious in the future.
8. Normally, what does the Saharan Air Layer do
A. It’s farmland-friendly. B. It does good to the desert.
C. It ends in the desert. D. It disappears in the ocean.
9. What can be learnt about the calima in Spain
A. It has different colors. B. It causes heavy rains.
C. It is huge and famous. D. It is formed near rivers.
10. What does the underlined word “stalking” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Rising. B. Spreading. C. Getting weak. D. Becoming different.
11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Culture. B. Health. C. Agriculture. D. Nature.
D
Lots of animals play. But the behavior is best known in mammals (哺乳动物) and birds. Now the scientists at London’s Queen Mary University report that bumblebees (大黄蜂) know the same thing. But before this, there were no reports of insects playing.
Dr. Lars Chittka began to wonder if bumblebees played during an earlier test. In that test, Chittka guided bumblebees to move balls into a goal for food. He noticed that some bees were rolling (滚动) balls even when they weren’t given food. He wondered if they were playing.
To test the idea, the scientists at his lab set up a new test. First, they numbered 45 young bumblebees between one and 23 days old. The numbers let them follow bumblebees’ behavior. Then, they set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees’ home to a feeding area. On either side of the open pathway, the researchers placed small colored wooden balls. On one side of the path, the balls couldn’t move. On the other side, the balls could roll around. For three hours a day, over 18 days, the scientists opened the pathway between the home and the feeding area. The bumblebees never had to leave the pathway to find food, but they left anyway. They weren’t interested in the side where the balls didn’t move, but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls.
Catching the balls with their legs, the bees would move their wings to pull on the balls, causing them to roll. The 45 numbered bumblebees did this 910 times during the test. Though some only did it once, others did it a lot. The younger ones liked to spend more time rolling balls while the older ones showed less interest in it. One bee was recorded rolling balls 44 times in a single day. One was seen rolling balls 117 times over the whole test.
The test raises important questions about how the insects’ minds work and whether they have feelings.
12. What did Chittka want to do about bumblebees in the earlier test
A. Discover if they played. B. Train them to move balls.
C. Make them learn to relax. D. Find out if they’d share food.
13. What did the scientists do to bumblebees before the new test
A. They named each of them. B. They let them interested in balls.
C. They had all of them go hungry. D. They marked them one by one.
14. What can we say about the older bumblebees’ behavior in the new test
A. They held their attention for longer. B. They understood simpler numbers.
C. They were less active in rolling balls. D. They helped the young pull on balls.
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. Bumblebees Are First Insects Known to Play B. Two Tests Prove Bumblebees Expect to Play
C. Bumblebees Are the World’s Smnartest Insects D. Scientists Make Bumblebees Work for Them

David worked as the cleaner in the same school for 25 years, and he considered his job an important part of his life. Besides keeping the school clean, he was always ready to help teachers carry books from the library to the classroom. Anyone who needed help in school knew they could count on David.
Decades ago, his wife suddenly passed away soon after their marriage, and since then, David had been living alone.
After returning home from work, David often read cooking magazines because of his passion for baking (烘焙). He would bring freshly baked cookies and bread to school every week and serve them to the teachers.
“Wow! They’re so delicious, David!” Samantha, the English teacher, told him. She was one of the teachers that enjoyed David’s love and praised his efforts.
David felt he was losing his strength as he turned old. He’d turn 75 in a week. He thought he should retire (退休). He told Samantha and other teachers what he had been thinking, “I’m planning to retire. I think there must be someone else who might need this job to make a living.”
“Oh! David! We’ll miss you if that happens,” the teachers cried. “We don’t want you to leave!” David smiled and told them, “You know I don’t have a wife to look after or kids to raise, so money isn’t what has kept me going all these years. Your care and praise have encouraged me to work hard.”
The next day, David went into the headmaster’s (校长的) office and told him about his decision. “Are you sure, David You’re an excellent member of our school, and letting you go isn’t easy for us,” the headmaster said. “Thank you, Sir,” David said. “But I feel I’m getting weaker, and it’s become difficult for me to keep the school clean. So my decision is final.” The headmaster agreed eventually.

When her father recovered, she came up with a plan to help others. “The idea came from the fact that there were kids who were facing the same problem,” she said.
Then, Emily started the book drive in her hometown, Gaithersburg, Maryland. The goal was to collect books and give them to kids being treated for cancer in local hospitals. Her father was not surprised by this plan. “She always wants to do things for the neighborhood,” he said. Since the start of the book drive, which she calls For Love & Buttercup, Emily has collected more than 10,000 books.
Emily had no idea how much attention her work would get. She started by posting on social media, asking people in her area to donate. “I was expecting maybe two or three neighbors to do it,” she said. “But it ended up blowing up,” especially when newspapers began reporting it.
The Children’s Inn is one of the places where Emily has donated books. “Donations like Emily’s share a piece of the world with kids and families that they may not experience,” said its director, Aisha Campbell. Emily continues to run the book drive with her parents’ help. She hopes to one day make it reach more kids. The memory of the first time she visited children who’d received her books sticks with her. “It was the best day of my life,” she said. “I realized I wanted to do this type of work forever.”
4. What made Emily come up with the book drive
A. Her father’s illness. B. Her care for others.
C. Her habit of reading. D. Her own shyness.
5. What did Emily’s For Love & Buttercup want to do

Across much of Spain on Tuesday morning, a thin layer (层) of red dust (尘埃) coated everything outside. This included cars, buses, trees, and plants.
As the sun rose the dust in the air turned the skies in some cities a strange orange. The cause of the dust and unusual sky color wasn’t a forest fire, but the dust from the Sahara Desert. Every year, a large cloud of dust rises from the Sahara Desert. It’s called the Saharan Air Layer. Usually, it crosses the Atlantic Ocean as part of a natural cycle (圈) that helps develop farmland in Central and South America.
But sometimes, depending on the weather, the layer of dust gets forced to the north. Large sandstorms in northern Africa lift sand and dust into the air, where it gets blown toward Spain. These kinds of storms aren’t unknown in Spain. In fact, it has a special name, calima. It is so large that it can be seen from space. A NASA scientist says it’s like a river of dust in the air. That river of dust has met with a river of wet air driven by strong winds. People in some cities, like Malaga and Navarra, reported that it was raining dust. In other places, the dust changed the color of the snow on the ground.
The dust cloud continued to move north and west, hitting both France and the United Kingdom. The dust is expected to keep stalking, possibly as far north as Denmark. The dust cloud may make some places a little foggy and sunsets very colorful.
Some weather experts warn that climate change could make dust storms from the Sahara Desert even more serious in the future.
8. Normally, what does the Saharan Air Layer do
A. It’s farmland-friendly. B. It does good to the desert.
C. It ends in the desert. D. It disappears in the ocean.
9. What can be learnt about the calima in Spain
A. It has different colors. B. It causes heavy rains.
C. It is huge and famous. D. It is formed near rivers.
10. What does the underlined word “stalking” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Rising. B. Spreading. C. Getting weak. D. Becoming different.
11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Culture. B. Health. C. Agriculture. D. Nature.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】

词义猜测题。文章划线单词上一句“The dust cloud continued to move north and west, hitting both France and the United Kingdom. (尘云继续向北和向西移动,袭击了法国和英国。预计灰尘将继续传播,可能会一直向北到丹麦)”可知划线单词所在句子The dust is expected to keep stalking, possibly as far north as Denmark.的意思是:预计灰尘将继续跟踪,可能会一直向北到丹麦。因此第四段中带下划线单词的意思是“传播”,故选B。
【11题详解】

Lots of animals play. But the behavior is best known in mammals (哺乳动物) and birds. Now the scientists at London’s Queen Mary University report that bumblebees (大黄蜂) know the same thing. But before this, there were no reports of insects playing.
Dr. Lars Chittka began to wonder if bumblebees played during an earlier test. In that test, Chittka guided bumblebees to move balls into a goal for food. He noticed that some bees were rolling (滚动) balls even when they weren’t given food. He wondered if they were playing.
To test the idea, the scientists at his lab set up a new test. First, they numbered 45 young bumblebees between one and 23 days old. The numbers let them follow bumblebees’ behavior. Then, they set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees’ home to a feeding area. On either side of the open pathway, the researchers placed small colored wooden balls. On one side of the path, the balls couldn’t move. On the other side, the balls could roll around. For three hours a day, over 18 days, the scientists opened the pathway between the home and the feeding area. The bumblebees never had to leave the pathway to find food, but they left anyway. They weren’t interested in the side where the balls didn’t move, but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls.
Catching the balls with their legs, the bees would move their wings to pull on the balls, causing them to roll. The 45 numbered bumblebees did this 910 times during the test. Though some only did it once, others did it a lot. The younger ones liked to spend more time rolling balls while the older ones showed less interest in it. One bee was recorded rolling balls 44 times in a single day. One was seen rolling balls 117 times over the whole test.
The test raises important questions about how the insects’ minds work and whether they have feelings.
12. What did Chittka want to do about bumblebees in the earlier test
A. Discover if they played. B. Train them to move balls.
C. Make them learn to relax. D. Find out if they’d share food.
13. What did the scientists do to bumblebees before the new test
A. They named each of them. B. They let them interested in balls.
C. They had all of them go hungry. D. They marked them one by one.
14. What can we say about the older bumblebees’ behavior in the new test
A. They held their attention for longer. B. They understood simpler numbers.
C. They were less active in rolling balls. D. They helped the young pull on balls.
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. Bumblebees Are First Insects Known to Play B. Two Tests Prove Bumblebees Expect to Play
C. Bumblebees Are the World’s Smnartest Insects D. Scientists Make Bumblebees Work for Them
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个科研成果——实验证明大黄蜂这种昆虫也会玩耍。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“In that test, Chittka guided bumblebees to move balls into a goal for food. ( 在那次测试中,Chittka引导大黄蜂把球移到一个目标中觅食)”可知,在早期的测试中,Chittka引导蜂去移动球,即训练它们移动球。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“First, they numbered 45 young bumblebees between one and 23 days old. The numbers let them follow bumblebees’ behavior.(首先,他们给45只1到23天大的小黄蜂编号。这些数字让他们可以跟踪大黄蜂的行为)”可知,科学家们在实验前给蜂编号是为了做标记区分这些蜂。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“The younger ones liked to spend more time rolling balls while the older ones showed less interest in it.(较小的蜂喜欢花更多的时间滚球,而较大的对此兴趣不大)”可知,在滚球的这个活动中,较大的蜂不如小的蜂活跃。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Now the scientists at London’s Queen Mary University report that bumblebees (大黄蜂) know the same thing. But before this, there were no reports of insects playing.(现在,伦敦玛丽女王大学的科学家们报告说,大黄蜂也知道同样的事情。但在此之前,没有昆虫玩耍的报道)”以及下文内容可知,本文主要介绍了大黄蜂是第一种被发现会玩的昆虫。因此A项“大黄蜂是已知的第一种会玩耍的昆虫”可以作文本文的最佳标题。故选A项。

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。
David worked as the cleaner in the same school for 25 years, and he considered his job an important part of his life. Besides keeping the school clean, he was always ready to help teachers carry books from the library to the classroom. Anyone who needed help in school knew they could count on David.
Decades ago, his wife suddenly passed away soon after their marriage, and since then, David had been living alone.
After returning home from work, David often read cooking magazines because of his passion for baking (烘焙). He would bring freshly baked cookies and bread to school every week and serve them to the teachers.
“Wow! They’re so delicious, David!” Samantha, the English teacher, told him. She was one of the teachers that enjoyed David’s love and praised his efforts.
David felt he was losing his strength as he turned old. He’d turn 75 in a week. He thought he should retire (退休). He told Samantha and other teachers what he had been thinking, “I’m planning to retire. I think there must be someone else who might need this job to make a living.”
“Oh! David! We’ll miss you if that happens,” the teachers cried. “We don’t want you to leave!” David smiled and told them, “You know I don’t have a wife to look after or kids to raise, so money isn’t what has kept me going all these years. Your care and praise have encouraged me to work hard.”
The next day, David went into the headmaster’s (校长的) office and told him about his decision. “Are you sure, David You’re an excellent member of our school, and letting you go isn’t easy for us,” the headmaster said. “Thank you, Sir,” David said. “But I feel I’m getting weaker, and it’s become difficult for me to keep the school clean. So my decision is final.” The headmaster agreed eventually.

The day before David’s 75th birthday was his last day at work. Before leaving the school that day, he said goodbye to all the teachers and gifted them baked cookies. “Thank you for your hard work and delicious cookies, David!” Samantha and other teachers said. Later that day, Samantha suddenly realized it was David’s birthday the next day. Every year, they would celebrate his birthday in school by buying a cake for him. “We need to celebrate his birthday!” Samantha told the other teachers. “We should visit David’s house tomorrow.” “Good idea!” they all agreed.
The next day after work, Samantha, with other teachers, went to see David with a big cake. They drove to David’s house and knocked on his door. Seeing the teachers standing on his doorstep, he covered his mouth with his hands, “What a pleasant surprise! Please come in!” David was so happy to see all the teachers in his house. “Happy birthday to you...” the teachers sang the song to David, who was touched greatly. After learning old David felt lonely, Samantha and other teachers promised to come to see him every Saturday. They thought it was time to return love to him now.
