day to research how to care for him.The next day，he woke with his mouth wide-open to let out a sharp hunger call.I fed him termites（白蚁）and chirped（叽喳叫）at him.He chirped back，jumped into my hand and then fell asleep in my palm（掌心）.To him，I was a mama bird.For the next 84 days，the cute little thing lived on me.Wherever I went，he would fly alongside me.He would make short flights from my hand to my head and then slide（滑行）down from my long hair to hand to rest again.He wen into hiding in my clothes while I learned his different calls.I never named him because he didn't belong to me—I had to remind myself that he needed to return to the wild.Almost three months later，he was stronger，more confident and flying farther from me.His flock returned to the grasslands.It was time for him to go.Before I flew back to England in November for the holiday season，I decided that the bird should be allowed outside to fly daily.I took him out to the flock three times.On the fourth day，the bird flew away with them.When I returned in January，I would watch out for him whenever the finches（雀科小鸟）flew past.I still cry when I think of him.I wrote our story into a book，Fledling.That，along with the

What can we learn from Para.3?A. People used to buy clothes without thinking twice.B.People often buy expensive clothes from the Internet.C. The way people buying clothes causes some clothing waste.D.Over forty thousand tons of clothing in Europe are recycled.48. What's the best title for the text?A. The Meaning of Fast FashionB. The Influences of Fast FashionC. Problems with Fast FashionD. Health problems with Fast Fashion49. What was the writer's feeling about the fast fashion?A. Worried.B. Uninterested.C. Surprised.D. Pleased.答案：BDCCACLong ago in ancient Greece,two cities called Syracuse（锡拉库扎）and Ephesus（以弗所）were enemies.According to the Law made by the Duke（公爵）of Ephesus，any Syracusan found in Ephesus had to pay a large sum of money as a fine or be killed.One day,Aegeon,a businessman from Syracuse，was arrested（逮捕）in Ephesus.He did not have enough money to pay the fine and would be killed.Before that，the Duke asked him why.“My wife and I have twin sons and two boys as their servants（仆人）.The servants are alsotwins.More than twenty years ago，we were caught in a big storm at sea.My wife，my son Antipholus and his servant went missing in the storm.”The man added，“I named my other son and his servant after their missing twin brothers.When they grew up.they left Syracuse to search for their brothers and my wife.But my boys haven't returned home or sent me any letters yet.Therefore，I left home and traveled here in search of news."The Duke took pity on Aegeon.He gave the poor man one day to find someone to pay his fine.Otherwise，he would have to die.In fact，Aegeon's missing son and his servant were indeed in Ephesus.They were living there after being saved from the storm by some fishermen.The son，Antipholus of Ephesus （E.Antipholus）,had become a rich man and married a woman named Adriana.Moreover，in search of their brothers，Antipholus of Syracuse（S.Antipholus）and his servant had also arrived in Ephesus.They learned about the laws of the city and，as a result，put on local clothing.S.Antipholus sent his servant to get a room for them in a local inn（小旅馆）.Just then，E.Antipholus's servant happened to meet S.Antipholus and mistook him for his master.The servant asked him to go home and have dinner with Adriana.S.Antipholus was confused（迷惑的）and refused.After the servant returned home，he told Adriana about his"master's"reply.The woman felt very angry with her“husband”.----Excerpt from The Comed of Errors50.Who had saved E.Antipholus and servant？A.The Duke.B.A woman named Adriana.C.Some businessmen.D.Some fishermen.51.Why did S.Antipholus and his servant put on the local clothing of Ephesus？A.Because they had no other clothes to wear.B.Because any Syracusan would be fined or killed.C.Because the local clothing was more comfortable.D.Because the local people gave them the clothing.52. Why was Adriana so angry?A. Because her "husband"played a trick on her.B. Because her "husband"didn't treat her well.C. Because her"husband"refused to have dinner with her.D. Because her"husband"mistook her for her servant.53. According to the passage, which order is correct?①Aegeon left Syracuse to search for news of his family members.①Aegeon's surviving son and his servant were named after their missing brother.①After the surviving boys grew up, they left home to search for their missing family members.① In a big storm at sea, Aegeon's wife, his son Antipholus and the boy's servant were lost.A.①①①①B.①①①①C.①①①①D.①①①①54. What would happen next according to the passage?A. The Duke helped Aegeon find the twin brothers.B.E. Antipholus went home and had dinner with Adriana.C.E. Antipholus was arrested because he was from Syracusan.D. Adriana met S. Antipholus and thought of him as her husband by mistake.答案：DBCDD五、六选四阅读（共4小题；每小题1.5分，满分6分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填在空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项When somebody gets sad，you can cheer him up by offering kindness.For example，you can give him a gift.In fact，giving a gift is more important than the gift itself.___55___Maybe he loves food，so surprise him with dinner，or take him to cooking classes.Of course，a gift doesn't have to cost much，or even be a physical thing.You can take him to your secret place or offer him something you care for.They are often more priceless than something you can buy in a store.To show your kindness，you can also try to make him smile.___56___But you need to remember to tell them at the right time，especially after a long talk.Now you've listened，offered advice and shown your kindness.___57___ Perhaps，you may take him to watch movies，go hiking or listen to rock music together.Don't be sad yourself.If you aren't happy，how can you cheer your friend up？So you can let him know you're not happy when he isn't happy，and you must also show him you are active.Help your friend and do as much as you can so he can feel someone cares about him.This builds trust.___58___Do this，always，happily.答案：EDCA六、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入l个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Do you sometimes feel angry, sad or 11 at the end of a difficult day? Many of us look for 12 to make ourselves feel better, perhaps by exercising, cooking, reading or watching TV.But experts say starting a diary can 13 your mental health by letting you release (释放) your feelings.“It’s simply writing down your thoughts and feelings. And you can understand 14 more clearly,” according to the University of Rochester Medical Center in the US.Julia Samuel, who helps people with their mental health problems, said, talking to your diary by writing things down can be as good as 15 to another person. Writing a diary helps you to control your feelings and reduce 16 , which can make you feel relaxed, and sometimes can help you 17 problems.Doctors sometimes recommend diary writing to help people with mental health problems. It might 18 help your physical health. Research has found that people who keep diaries have fewer doctor visits, and may even show reduced symptoms of some long-term diseases.Writer Anthony Quinn says there are other “great advantages” to keeping a diary. Writing a diary can let you understand yourself 19 and see how you have changed, Quinn wrote in The Guardian (卫报). He said 20 can even be used instead of social media.Many experts say it’s best to write a diary every day, or 21 every week. Most experts also say people should just write—or draw—anything they want, and not worry about what someone else might think about it.“Look at your writing time as personal relaxation time,” says the University of Rochester.

You may find many people on the street wearing brown clothes. This is a new fashion style called “Maillard style”.This dressing style got ideas from cooking. Have you ever watched your mom or dad cooking steak (牛排)? The steak turns from red to brown. In 1912, French scientist Maillard found the reason behind the change. People named this brown colour after the scientist. The Maillard style includes different kinds of browns, such as the red-brown and the dark brown. These brown colours make people think of hot, tasty food. They can feel warmer on cold days.If you think brown looks a little boring, you can try another style called “dopamine dressing”. It is one of the most popular fashion styles for 2023. First created by American fashion psychologist Dawnn Karen in 2020, it means dressing in bright colours. Dopamine is a chemical (化学物质) which can make you feel happy. And bright colours, such as red and yellow, can cheer you up.Some bright colours may not go well with each other. To play it safe, you can try these tips.●Try not to mix too many colours at a time. Three or four is fine.●Add some white or grey to your dressing. They can make bright colours look more elegant (优雅的).●Try some contrasting (对比的) colours, such as red and green, blue and orange, purple and yellow.23．When was “dopamine dressing” first created?A．In 1912B．In 2023.C．In 2020D．In 2024 24．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．A woman will choose red and yellow if she prefers the Maillard style.B．The Maillard style was named after an American scientist.C．Red and green aren’t a good match when you try dopamine dressing.D．Dopamine dressing can make people feel cheerful.25．The purpose of the passage is to introduce ________.A．Dressing styles B．Different colours C．Cooking methods D．Fashion designersEven in early time, people could realize the important of dreams and knew that dreams gave meaning to life. Every great achievement (成就) has been the result of years of dreaming. If a person has a dream and holds fast to it, he or she will find a way to bring it into reality (现实).Children do not have much experience or knowledge. However, they are natural dreamers. We should not laugh at them for being naive. Many great men were dreamers when they were children. One such dreamer was Thomas Edison. He used to be ostracized (排斥) when he was in primary school, but his achievements were greater than everyone else’s in his time.Teenagers and young people should also be encouraged to dream. The world is full of successful teenagers and young people. They dreamt big and their dreams changed their lives and even the world. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the good examples. They have developed technology and brought great progress (进步) to human besides making money for themselves.Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality. Colonel Saunders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company (KFC) in the world.To dream is a wonderful ability which can lead to wonderful results. Olympic records were broken by players who were brave enough to dream. No one is too young or too old to dream andto make dreams come true.26．Young people should be encouraged to dream because ______.A．their dreams are naturalB．they are greater than everyone elseC．they have much knowledgeD．their dreams might change the world27．What does the example of Colonel Saunders show us?A．Setting up a big company is a wonderful ability.B．Developing technology can bring great progress.C．Even older people can make their dreams come true.D．People should be brave enough to dream when they are young.28．The underlined word “naive” in the passage means “______” in Chinese.A．逆反的B．幼稚的C．调皮的D．冲动的29．The best title (题目) for the passage is “______”.A．From Dream to RealityB．Good Examples of DreamsC．Achievements in HistoryD．A list of Successful Dreamers四、任务型阅读Scientists find that hard-working people can live longer than idle (不工作的) people. Career (职业) women are healthier than housewives. Evidence (证据) shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the job-holder. A report shows that whenever the unemployment rate (失业率) increases (增长) by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%.All this comes down to one point—work is helpful to health.Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy and away from loneliness. That’s also why career women are healthier and happier than housewives. Researches show that people feel unhappy and worried when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest whenthey are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work, people come into contact (联系) with each other. If people take part in some activities, they can find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man in spirit and makes him easy to get ill.Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment (充实感). Work makes one feel his value in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.From the above we can know that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study well and live a happy and healthy life.回答下列4个问题，每题答案不超过10个词。

I don?t need to go.” “I?ll just send some money instead.”You won?t hear any such things from Betty Lowe. …As Great Britain?s oldest active volunteer, 100-year-old Lowe spends her days between volunteering at a charity WRS shop at a hospital in her native Salford , England, and helping out w ith Britain?s version of the Girl Guides——a group she?s been a member of for 89 years..“I had great interest in the guide and I used to go camping and walking. I was a bit of an outdoor girl when I was younger,”Lowe said.Lowe isn?t quite in shap e for camping these days, but she still keeps busy with her volunteer activities. When she?s not volunteering with one of her favorite groups, she?s helping out friends and family, and is known as a best birthday cake cook.Lowe just turned-4100 years old on Monday,-and more than 100 friends and family members showed up at her birthday party to wish her well.

A Great VolunteerB．Green is an important color in nature. It is also the color of most growing plants.Sometimes the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes it describes something that is not yet ripe ( 成熟的) or ?nished. For example, a greenhorn is someone wh o has no experience, who is new to a situation, in the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who hadnot yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today——a person who is new in a job.Someone who has the ability.-to grow plants well is said to have. a green thumb .The . expression comes from the early 1900s.A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quicklyand well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs. …Green is also the color used to describe the powerful emotion, jealousy( (嫉妒). Thegreen-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay raise and she does not. '46. From the second paragraph, we can conclude(得出结论) that ___________.A a greenhorn refers to (指的是) a horn of a young cow or oxB. a word has different meanings in the same century.C. the language develops with time going byD. a greenhorn means a soldier who hasn?t had any experience in battle today47. If a person has a green thumb, he or she probably_____________ .A. suffers from an illness in the thumbB. does well in growing plantsC. has a thumb in green colorD. has wonderful magic and energy48.

Within just a few hours of its launch, it has more than 1.1 million online players at the same time. The games presentation (呈现) of Chinese culture has not only impressed Chinese players but also attracted (吸引) a large number of foreign players.

The wonders seen throughout the game make players around the world marvel at Chinese culture.“When making the video games, we didn’t even wipe away (去除) the dust to keep the beauty of Chinese ancient buildings fully.” said the game’s creators.

Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced (浮出水面). I would go out and see the sunrise. Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crespo Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to escape. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.”“I do,” replied the Captain. “But these forests are under the sea.” During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits (潜水服) that used special air tanks. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all.Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. Westepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We must go through it, and we were in the sea floor. It was an amazing experience. We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. Two hours later, we were a hundred metres under the water. The suits worked very well, and it was easy to walk and breathe.At one hundred metres deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The “trees” in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small shrubs (灌木) grew under the large seaweed trees. Some of them had flowers.We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further.(—Adapted from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea) 27．What do you think the Nautilus is?A．A kind of transport on land.B．A kind of ship under the sea.C．A kind of fish in the sea.D．A kind of plane in the sky.28．________ didn’t go hunting with others in the forests of Crespo Island under the water.A．Ned B．Conseil C．Captain Nemo’s man D．Captain Nemo 29．What’s the order of the following events?①They visited the forest.①They crossed the large grassy area.①They felt sleepy and lay down to rest.①Captain Nemo made diving suits and lights.①Captain Nemo invited some people to go hunting.A．①①①①①B．①①①①①C．①①①①①D．①①①①①30．From the passage, we can learn that ________.A．Ned and Nemo were close friendsB．it took them 30 minutes to walk through the forestC．there were three people visiting the forestD．Captain Nemo enjoyed the hunting trip阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The floor was covered in milk.When his mother came into the 13 , instead of shouting at him or punishing him, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made!

Let’s go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can 19 a way to carry it without dropping it.”The little boy learned that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful 20 !The scientist then added that 21 was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes.

The bell sounded at dawn (黎明) and drum at dusk (黄昏). Today, bell and drum towers remain in some time-honored cities like Beijing and Xi’an. The bell and drum towers in Xi’an are symbols of the city’s rich past and are among the largest and best-preserved (保存最完好的) of their kind in China.The Bell Tower sits at the very center of Xi’an. It is 36 meters high. It was built in 1384 and moved to its current (现在的) location in 1582. Four busy roads cross just under the tower. Visitors need to use an underground walkway to reach the tower. Inside the tower, there is a small museum that houses a huge bell as well as some handwritten records on the history of the tower.The Drum Tower is about 200 meters to the northwest of the Bell Tower. It is a small building. It lies next to a busy street where many restaurants and shops are located. It was built 4 years earlier than the Bell Tower. It is also one of the largest drum towers in China, with a height of 34 meters.There is a square sitting between the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower. It is the best place to watch the two towers. According to the tourists, the two towers are more impressive in the evening as the lights add beauty to them. Don’t miss them when you take a trip to Xi’an!23．How does the writer begin the text?A．By showing some facts.B．By listing numbers.C．By using an old saying.D．By making a survey.24．Where can we find the Drum Tower?A．B．C．D．25．In which part of a magazine can you read the text?A．School Life.B．Travel Guide.C．Book Reviews.D．Environment Protection.“Twelve years ago, I was a professional (职业的) dancer and black belt in taekwondo (跆拳道) when a disease went undiagnosed and destroyed my muscular system. I finally ended up on life support in intensive care with organ (器官) failure,” Kaufman recalled. “I went from living this big life to not knowing how I was going to survive. Luckily, on my birthday in 2009, I received a new heart and was given a second chance at life!”After volunteering in Los Angeles hospitals, Kaufman started the non-profit organization—Ava’s Heart. She and her organization offered transplant patients services that were often not covered by insurance (保险), including food, gas, co-pays on medicines, and housing.“What I found out was that if you didn’t have post-transplant housing, you couldn’t get listed and admitted (允许进入) into the hospital,” Kaufman said. She said that for the nearly 110,000 people in the USA waiting for a life-saving organ transplant, it was not just a matter of adding your name to the list. Patients must be financially secure (经济保障的) and be able toafford transportation. What’s more, they must find accommodations (住所) near their transplant hospital. Kaufman runs two housing locations, which allows the patients to remain close to their transplant hospital during the period of their aftercare, usually about three months at no cost.Her organization also helps donor (捐献者) families, which she thinks makes the whole circle complete. “The donor is the whole story. Without the donor, there are no transplant centers, no transplant surgeons, no me. In my eyes, the donors are the heroes.” Kaufman said.So far, Ava’s Heart has helped nearly 90 families with burial costs for their loved ones whose organs have saved countless lives. Kaufman also works closely with those who help build relationships with donor families and spread awareness about the importance of organ donation. 26．Why did Kaufman talk about her memory in Paragraph 1?A．To suggest the importance of life.B．To remember her dull and boring days.C．To show the reason for paying back.D．To confirm her love for the profession. 27．For a transplant patient, admission into the hospital requires the following EXCEPT________.A．health insurance B．nearby housingC．financial security D．affordable transportation28．Which of the following best describes Kaufman?A．Brave and caring.B．Grateful and warm-hearted.C．Practical and hard-working.D．Loyal and easy-going.Once again the Captain’s will won. Silent, the men returned to their posts. But Captain Columbus was worried because he knew in his heart that a day would come when his words would no longer help. Before that day, he would see land.Not an eye closed that night. The Captain stood on the high poop (艉楼) and with sleepless eyes he tried hard to look into the darkness ahead.Then, two hours before midnight, the miracle happened. A far-off light struck his eyes. It wavered (摇曳) once or twice, moving quickly on the horizon, like a fisherman’s boat on the waves.His heart hammered (砰砰直跳). But he dared not cry out, “Land!”“Your eyes are sharp, Alfredo,” he whispered to a young sailor. “Tell me what you see.”Even as he spoke, the light disappeared.“I see nothing.” The sailor stared into the darkness. The light had reappeared. “Look out!”“Ah, yes, yes! A light. Over there.”“Quiet! Are you sure, Alfredo?”“But yes, Captain! It is gone now, yet I saw it.”Surely this was not a trick of the light! Alfredo had seen it too. Somewhere ahead in darkness were human beings and inhabited land. They stood shoulder to trembling shoulder, staring into the dark.Hour after hour passed. The sand-glass under the lantern showed that it was two o’clock in the morning. The other two ships loomed (隐约出现) vaguely and in the east the line of the horizon was clearly defined.Then came a flash of flame (火焰). The long-awaited signal! Land in sight.“Land! Land!” Almost immediately came the ringing cry. There in the west, green and fair, lay an island.Who can tell how Christopher Columbus felt at that moment? The long waiting was at an end. The dream had come true.29．Where did the story happen?A．On an island.B．On the sea.C．In the west.D．In the Captain’s dream.30．When did the Captain see a far-off light for the first time?A．At about 10 p.m.B．At about 2 a.m.C．At midnight.D．In the morning.31．During that night, how did Captain Columbus’ feelings change?A．Worried → nervous → excited.B．Scared → curious → happy.C．Afraid → happy → excited.D．Excited → scared → happy.32．What was Captain Columbus’ dream?A．Finding the human beings in the sea.B．Being saved by other ships.C．Helping his sailors get the light in the darkness.D．Discovering the land on thehorizon.Taking responsibility for yourself and your actions is an important part of personal growth. It’s never too late to start practicing the positive habit of accepting responsibility for yourself.33Improve your confidence. 34 If you can’t think of any, ask loved ones to help. You can also write down your goals, create a plan for achieving them and learn to accept positive feedback.Remove the excuses. To break the harmful habit of excuse-making, ensure you’re honestly acknowledging (承认) what really happened. Next time you’re faced with the negative result of a situation, ensure you say something like “Sorry, I messed it up. How can I make up for it?” 35 Take positive actions. If you want your family and friends to show more interest in your life, get interested in theirs. If you want a more satisfying job, figure out what you need to do to achieve it. Your actions will affect what you get out of life, so ensure you’re acting in a way you get what you want.36 If you often see yourself as a powerless man, this might be because you are experiencing hardships in your own life. And this feeling will be strengthened by the way you communicate with yourself and others. So look out for passive (消极), self-destroying thoughts like “Why is this happening to me?” and learn to take responsibility.A．How can I be more powerful?B．Change your thought patterns.C．Realize who you are as a person.D．No matter how old you are, you can easily begin today.E．Don’t worry—your honesty will earn you respect from others.F．Spend some time reflecting on your strengths and how to use them.四、任务型阅读The Senior School Entrance Exams for Chinese Junior 3 students used to be mainly about academic (学术类的) subjects such as Chinese, Maths, English, etc. But starting from 2022, there are also tests in music. This policy aims to encourage primary and secondary schools to provide more fine music classes because a new study shows that music education is really important inschool education. Here are some ideas on how music plays an important role in school education.Music helps with Maths and Science. Students learn to count, and how to multiply and divide. Students also use Science to help them discover what sounds good together and what doesn’t. Besides, students also use Science to understand how music is produced by vibration (颤动) and why.Students learn a lot about languages through music. Many songs are written in foreign languages. Students must learn to translate these foreign works to understand what they are singing about.Students learn a huge amount of cooperation (协调) of body parts through music, so parts of the body can work better together. For example, students must use motor (肌肉运动的) skills in order to play an instrument. Singers and wind (管乐器) players must learn breath control and be in good shape to sing and play.Students learn about Art through music. Some famous pieces of music were written about important pieces of art, and students learn about the artists and styles as they’re playing the music.Music education also brings higher thinking. Students have to be aware (知道的) of what every other musician does at every time. In this way, it develops cooperation as well. They tend to develop more ability for learning.阅读与回答问题(每题答案不超过10个单词)。

根据答语—OK, I won't forget it. 可知，此事还没有做，因此用动词不定式to do的形式。

A项为动词原形；B项为动名词；C项为动词不定式；D项为过去式。

故选C。
