Falling off the stairs hurt me in the head. Almost everyone thought I was dead. But they were wrong. However, it was difficult to get back to normal(正常的) life. I had to leave school and learn everything, walking, talking, and yes, maths.To help me with that task, Mrs. Pillar volunteered to come to the hospital and later to myhouse once a week. We began with basic maths skills. As time passed by, I made progress.I remember very vividly how she came to my home on Sundays, sat with me at the kitchen table, and threw different coins on the table. She asked me to show her 38 cents, 17 cents, 63 cents. It was challenging, but she also made it fun.After a year and a half, I had progressed a lot, both in body and mind, to return to school. Seven years later, I graduated from the University of Texas at the top of my class.As years went by, I always kept in touch with Mrs. Pillar. Unluckily, one day my parents told me that Mrs. Pillar had been in hospital because she suffered a stroke(中风).Now it was my turn to help her. Mrs. Pillar lay in bed, unable to speak or know anybody around. I pulled some coins out of my pocket, dropped them on her bed, and asked her to show me 12 cents. The nurse thought that my action was very strange until one day Mrs. Pillar smiled happily as I began working with her—just as she had worked with me years before. She made progress everyday and was moved out of ICU(重症监护室) and finally out of hospital.One day, I called to wish her a happy New Year. She spoke into the phone excitedly, “Happy New Year to you and your family, Michael. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.”I quickly said, “Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.”Mrs. Pillar was one of my Junior 2 teachers, but she taught me so much more about life than only maths.21．Which of the following is the correct order of what happened in the story?a. Mrs. Pillar suffered a stroke and was in hospital.b. I fell off the stairs and had to leave school.c. I returned to school with Mrs. Pillar’s help.d. Mrs. Pillar got better with my help.A．b-c-d-a B．c-a-d-b C．b-c-a-d D．b-d-c-a22．What does the underlined word “vividly” mean in Paragraph(段落) 3?A．模糊地B．清晰地C．彻底地D．感激地23．What does the writer mean by saying “I graduated from the University of Texas at the top of my class” in Paragraph 4?A．He was cleverer than his classmates.B．He worked very hard on maths.C．His classmates failed to graduate.D．Mrs. Pillar’s help greatly influenced him.24．The writer asked Mrs. Pillar to show him 12 cents in the hospital in order to ________.A．help Mrs. Pillar just as Mrs. Pillar helped him B．play an interesting game with Mrs. Pillar C．see whether Mrs. Pillar was getting better D．make the nurse in the hospital feel strange25．What is the best title for the passage?A．A Great Teacher B．Always Have A DreamC．Never Give Up D．Kindness Makes WondersIn the world, there are lots of people who want to help out. Many join organizations (管理) run by their governments, for example, the Peace Corps in the United States and V oluntary Service Overseas in Britain. Since the terrible earthquake took place in Wenchuan, more than 200 thousand volunteers across China have been helping there! They do all kinds of work or come up with ways to help improve life. Some offer their professional skills for free. Others have no qualifications (资历), but they love to work hard to help.One of the most famous volunteers in the world was Mother Teresa. She could be the best volunteer because she gave her life to helping the poorest people of Calcutta. She helped the homeless, cared for the sick, gave out food, and became the mother of those without families.Now more and more teenagers actively look for volunteering opportunities (机会), too. They volunteer because they think it will be fun or they will learn something. They also like the idea of being helpful to others, even if it is just handing out books for the teacher. As they get older, these reasons are still the same, but there are other important reasons for volunteering such as learning on—the-job, getting work experience, and improving their social life.All volunteers bring joy to the people they help in so many ways. They might read books to the blind, fix up broken homes, find ways to get water for villagers. Could you be a volunteer? What kind of volunteer work could you do? There is someone in the world who needs you. 26．The Peace Corps is ________ in the United States.A．a city B．an organization C．a volunteer D．a school 27．From the passage, we can know that Teresa is ________ woman.A．a kind and helpful B．a poor and sickC．a homeless but kind D．a sick but active28．The underlined word “those” refers to ________.A．the homeless B．the sick C．the poor D．the kids 29．Which is NOT the reason for teenagers to be volunteers according to the passage?A．They want to make more friends.B．They want to be helpful.C．It helps them get work experience.D．It can improve their social life.30．What is the main idea of this passage?A．V olunteers do all kinds of work.B．Mother Teresa was a great volunteer.C．The world needs volunteers.D．There are different ways of volunteering.Almost every Chinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem:" Every grain on the plate comes from hard work(谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦)." But sadly, many of us don't actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don't waste food.A CCTV program, News One Plus One, reported that food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.Do we have too much food? No, according to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2010, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.Chinese people are well known for being generous(慷慨的). Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table.Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired(开除)because she took some leftover(剩余的)food home for her son. Many people stood by her side and agreed that it was not right to waste food.What should we do in our daily life to waste less food? Here are some tips:◆Do not order too much in a restaurant. Only order what you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home.◆Don't be too picky(挑剔的)about food. Some food may not taste great. But your body needs it.◆Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don't buy too much, especially for vegetables and fruit.31．According to News One Plus One, Chinese people .A．save enough food to feed 200 million people for a yearB．throw away lots of food every yearC．get enough food to feed millions of people every yearD．have to feed 200 million hungry people every year32．From the third paragraph, we know that .A．we have too much food to feed people in the worldB．there were 925 million people in developing countriesC．because of hunger, six million children die every yearD．there are only a few people getting hungry every year33．From the fourth and fifth paragraphs, we can conclude(得出结论)that .A．all Chinese people are generousB．Chinese people always waste foodC．Li Hong got fired because she wasted foodD．everyone should get into the habit of saving food34．What should we do to save food in our daily life?A．When we order too much food in a restaurant, just take the leftover food home.B．Eat more food that doesn't taste great.C．We should not buy vegetables and fruit.D．We should keep an eye on the food we like.35．What's the main topic of the passage?A．Don't waste food.B．Many people die of hunger.C．Don't be picky about food.D．Eat all the food you order.As a middle school teacher, I think it’s good for children to do housework. 36 It can also help them take better care of themselves in the future.When children are old enough, it’s necessary for them to do some housework. 37 Here is some advice.Let children choose what they want to doTell children all the chores they can do. 38 If a child can choose the housework by himself, he will be willing (乐意的) to do it.Don’t control the time of doing houseworkDon’t ask your children to do chores right away. 39 For example, don’t say, “Ten minutes later, you must clean up the floor.”Set a good example to your childrenParents shouldn’t complain (抱怨) about the housework in front of their children. 40 Parents should try to make their children believe that it’s interesting to do housework.A．It will make them hate doing housework.B．But how to ask children to do housework?C．Then let children choose one or two from them.D．Doing some housework can not only keep them healthy and strong.E．It will make children feel that doing housework is boring and tiring.四、短文填空阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空，使短文通顺、连贯。

Mark Kelly and Scott Kelly from the USA will give you the answer.Mark and Scott are twin brothers. They were once great astronauts in NASA（美国国家航空航天局）. From 2015 to 2016, Scott spent 340 days at the International Space Station. But Mark still stayed on the earth. Scientists wrote down some information about the twins before, during and after the space travel. They used it to study how different a person was after the long space travel.The full results of the studies will come out in a year or two. But scientists showed us some early findings. When Scott came back from space, he changed a lot. He was 5 cm taller than before. His eyesight became worse. He found that he couldn't see things clearly. Another change was that he couldn't move his legs easily just like before. Scientists also found that after Scott came back to the earth, it took him much longer to understand things. As for Mark, he could do so as well as before.Scientists say when people grow old, their telomeres（染色体端粒）will get shorter. Mark's telomeres kept getting shorter. However, during Scott's stay in space, his telomeres got longer.Further studies on the twins are still going on. NASA plans to send humans to Mars in the 2030s, and the twins' studies could help them get ready for those space trips.9.
