After the short stop at her primary school, she showed me the building where she had once worked as an engineer. Then we drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they had first been married. She had me pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had once been a park, where she had spent the best time with her daughter. Sometimes she would have me slow down in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing. As the first hint of sun was creasing the horizon, she suddenly said, “Pm ready. Let's go now.We drove in silence to the nursing home. As we pulled up, two nurses were waiting for us. They helped her into a wheelchair.“ How much do I owe you? ” she asked, reaching for her purse. “ Nothing, “ I said. Without thinking, I leaned down and gave her a hug. She hugged me tightly. " You gave an old woman a little moment of joy, “ she said. " Thank you. " I squeezed her hand and then walked back to my taxi. For the rest of that day, I could hardly talk. I believe I have never done anything more important in my life. We usually think that our lives are defined by great moments. But I now realize that great moments catch us by surprise, because they often seem quite small.范文2For hours, we drove through the city. She showed me her primary school and shared with me some funny stories of her school days and friends. Then she asked me to pull up near a peaceful square, where, as she told me in a gentle voice, she first met her husband. She sat on the back seat still, gazing at the square through a mist of tears for a moment, and then signaled me to move on. All the way, I just listened attentively as if I was a loyal audience to my mother who used to call up her good old days. After what seemed like a magical journey back to the past, we eventually arrived at the gate of the nursing home at dawn.“How much do I owe you?” she asked, reaching for her purse. "Nothing,“ I said quickly, shrugging with a light laugh, winking at the meter. As if she couldn't believe what I said, she looked at me with wide-open eyes. Then, her shock slowly gave way to grateful understanding. “Oh, you're such a good boy! Thank you." She held my hand tightly. "I just try to treat you the way I would want my mother treated,I responded softly. "And thank you for sharing with me your best memories of this city. Then I bent over and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. A sudden warmth and happiness hit me like a balmy breeze gently wiping my face. And I knew it was the grace of kindness.第一节：阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、和D四个选项中选出最正确选项。ALook for cheap student accommodation in London?

He was told that there was someone he had to interview. It was Mother Teresa. After their interview, Mother Teresa had a question for him/What are you doing to help the poor?” He told her the truth that he wasn't focused on helping others. With a smile on her face, Mother Teresa said, "Everyone can do something.”Donaldson returned home from India with a changed perspective. He knew he needed to do something to help others. He packed up his car and hit the road. He traveled to eight cities in America and stayed on the streets for three nights in each of them. He spent that time talking with the people he came across and he listened to their stories. 6tMy heart broke," he says. "I knew I could no longer just live for myself.”Encouraged by Mother Teresa's words and the stories he'd heard across America, Donaldson loaded a pick-up truck with $ 300 worth of groceries. He drove around Northern California handing them out to anyone in need. As word got around about his efforts, his operation grew bigger. Donaldson created the nonprofit organization, Convoy of Hope at the age of 27.Their work is aimed at feeding children, women's empowerment and helping farmers. Nowadays, their work has been vital. Donaldson says, "We'd set a goal of delivering 10 million meals. We were really astonished by the response. Now, we've passed out 200 million meals. ”The response from people helped by Convoy of Hope is powerful. But what means to Donaldson most is the response from people who joined their operation, driven by their need to help others. "People said they didn't know what to do, but then they heard about us,“ he says. “We underestimate what we can accomplish. It can transform lives.” 14.

People's efforts to deliver the meals to the needy.CA culture guide named Persephone welcomes travellers to Greece and takes them through a famous cave in the north. The guide moves smoothly around the underground area and can talk about it in 33 languages. It can also answer 33 questions, but only in the Greek language.Persephone is intelligent and it is a human-sized robot. The robot has been in operation for about a month at the Alistrati Cave. Persephone guides visitors through the first 150 metres of the cave that is open to the public. For the remaining 750 metres, a human guide takes over.The idea of creating the robot guide was put forward by Nikos Kartalis, who is the scientific director at the Alistrati site. He had this idea when he saw one on television guiding visitors at an art show. Persephone was built by the National Technology and Research Foundation and cost about139,000 dollars. "People who had visited in the past are coming back to see the robot guide,“ said Nikos. "Many foreign visitors couldn't believe Greece had the ability to build a robot and use it as a guide in the cave.”The robot, with a white body, black head, and two bright eyes, moves on wheels. It guides visitors to the first three of eight stops along the walkway. It can do two more stops, but it is too slow for the tour. Persephone's creators are considering ways to increase her speed. The robot begins the tour by saying, "My name is Persephone. I welcome you to the Alistrati Cave. ”Evdokia Karafera is a human guide who partners with Persephone. "It is helpful, because it speaks many languages/9 she said. "There's just a little delay in the touring. Most find it fascinating, especially the children, and find it interesting that it speaks many languages. Robots, at some point in the future, will take over many jobs. But I believe they cannot take the place of humans everywhere.18. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2?A. Persephone's hobby.B. Persephone's intelligence.C. Persephone job.D. Persephone operating principle.19. What might be the foreign visitors9 first reaction when seeing Persephone?A Surprised. B. Delighted. C. Satisfied. D. Frightened.20. What does Evdokia want to stress in the last paragraph?A. Persephone is intended to attract the children.B. Persephone is helpless in making the site famous.C. Robots will play a less important role in the future.D. Robots are unable to replace humans everywhere.21. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Robot Guides Visitors through Greek CaveRobots Replace Human Tour GuidesB. Greece Displays a Culture Guide RobotGreek Cave Attracts More TouristsD“While animals can't pick out precise numbers, they can understand that more is more. Interestingly, we know now that numerical （数值的）competence is present on almost every branch of the animal tree of life/9 says Andreas Nieder, a neurobiologist from the University of Tuebingen. "Different groups of animals obviously developed this competence independently from others and that strongly indicates that it has to be of adaptive value.”Honeybees, for instance, can remember the number of landmarks they pass when searching for food in order to find their way back to the hive. The last common ancestor between honeybees and primates （灵长目动物）lived about 600 million years ago. But still, they evolved numerical competence that, in many respects, is comparable to vertebrate （脊椎动物的）numerical competence. Also, fbr example, male frogs sing "advertisement“ calls to attract females. The females, listening for the complexity of their calls, choose the male that sings the most calls.Wolves are more likely to hunt successfully if they have the right number of wolves in their pack for the size of their prey: With prey like deer, only around six to eight wolves are needed, while hunting wild ox requires a pack of nine to thirteen. Their prey also uses this concept to protect themselves from predators - deer tend to live in large herds to reduce the chance of any individual becoming prey. So obviously they are assessing the number of individuals in their groups for their everyday life situations.Despite these many examples of numerical competence in animals, this subject has not gotten many first-hand studies. "Many of these behavioral findings in the wild have usually been collected as by-products or accidental findings of other research questions J says Nieder. He argues that more research needs to be done to fully understand the numerical competence.22. The phenomenon of animals having their own numerical competence shows that .A. all groups of animals can know the exact numbersnumerical competence must have a survival benefitB. animals? intelligence varies with different environmentsanimals5 numerical competence is determined by their independence23. What role does numerical competence play in wolves9 hunting?A. It helps them form proper hunting groups.B. It gives them more options to hunt.C. It makes them discover more prey.D. It offers them new skills to hunt.24. How does the author mainly develop this text?A. By listing figures.B. By asking questions.C. By giving examples.D. By making comparisons.25. Where is the text probably taken from?A. A biology textbook.B. A health magazine.C. A travel brochure.D. A science report第二节：阅读下面短文，从选项中选出可以填入空白处的最正确选项。有两项为多余选项。While people don't always like the old saying “the early bird gets the worm”, getting up early is actually the secret to the success of many people.26 There are also other benefits ofwaking up early in the morning.Improve your cognitive （认知的）function. People who get up early in the morning can concentrate better, are more attentive, and stay energetic throughout the day. Since people's brains are more active in the morning, focusing on important tasks earlier will allow you to make better decisions than people who work later. Morning people have better problem-solving skills. 27Help you sleep better. Waking up early makes going to bed early easier and helps you get consistent sleep and wak
