He had been a doctor in the British Army and served in the First World War. While many families had relatives in the British Army who fought on the front, it wasnt something you need to talk about with pride. Its only as an adult then that I have started to look deeper into my grandfathers life.After graduating from medical school in 1906,my grandfather worked as a resident surgeon at the Waterford Hospital for 12 month before joining the Royal Army Medical Corps and starting his first tour of India. Over the next several years,he served in Rawalpindi,Ferozepore,Multan,Rangoon and Mandalay.The First World War began on July 28,1914 and two weeks later, my grandfather was on active service in France and BelgiumHe was captured(俘获)at Landrecies on October 18,1914 and was kept in prison at Sennelager Prisoner of War Camp in Germany. Following his release on June 26,1915,he returned to London._A month later he was back on active service,first with the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force in Malta,then Gallipoli and then back to France and Belgium25where he served as the officer commanding No. 44 Field Ambulance until near the wars end in November 1918.While his army records afford us a timeline on his service, they dont show much about his experiences on the battlefield. Thankfully; the surviving sketch (素描) of him at the Battle of the Somme and the accompanying caption (说明文字) by the artist Muirhead Bone help to fill in the gaps.The original,entitled“Waiting for the Wounded”, is housed in the Imperial War Museum,London.When I was a child, a copy of this sketch hung in my parents bedroom, but I didnt know its importance. Now, as I try to know better about my grandfather, it takes on new significance for me.4. Why didnt the authors family talk much about his grandfather?A. He didnt fight on the front at all.B. He was once captured and put into prison.C. They hardly knew about his experiences at war.D. They didnt think it necessary to share his experiences.5. What do we know about the authors grandfather?A He was the commander of several armies.B. He served in the army for many years.C. He disliked working at the Waterford Hospital.D. He escaped from prison and returned to France.6. What helped the author know more about his grandfathers experiences on the battlefields?A. The illustration by Muirhead Bone.B. The army records of his grandfather.C His visit to the Imperial War Museum.D. The legend of the Battle of the Somme.7. Why does the author write the text?A. To tell about peoples life in the 1910s.B. To help us know about the First World War.C. To encourage us to know about our grandfathers.D. To tell about his grandfathers experiences at war.CParents do not owe (欠) their children a college education. If they can afford it, they can certainly send them to a good university. But they neednt feel guilty if they cant. When children grow up and want to get married, their parents do not owe them an apartment. They do not have the duty to look after their grandchildren, either. If they want to do it, it must be considered a favor, not an obligation.Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.One of their obligations is to give their children a personal worth. Children who are always made to feel stupid and unworthy, constantly compared with brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins will become so unsure, so afraid of failing that they wont try at all. Of course they should be properly corrected when they do wrong, but its often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves in time. All their parents should do is to trust them, respect them, understand them and give them chances to try and fail. They must learn to stand failure. When criticisms (批评) are really needed, they should be balanced with a smile and a kiss. That is the way children learn.Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others; it means being respectful to elders, to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is by deed. A child who is lied to will lie. A child who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have difficulty laughing and loving.No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something.8. The author thinks parents _.A. should send their children to collegeB. should support their children after they get marriedC. need to buy an apartment for their childrenD. neednt feel guilty if they cant send their children to universities9. What does the underlined word “obligation” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Right.B. Promise.C. Duty.D. Excuse.10. According to the passage, what should parents do when children make mistakes?A. Understand them and tell them not to do that again.B. Let them learn the mistakes by themselves in time.C. Compare them with brighter brothers or sisters.D. Correct their mistakes immediately.11. What does the author mainly talk about in this passage?A. The duties of parents.B. The best way to teach children.C. The reason why children feel stupid and unworthy.D. The reason why parents owe their children something.DWhen comparing U.S. and Chinese schools,despite(尽管)many differences, one finds a number of unexpected similarities.Students in both countries in some ways, have much in common. This includes their experiences with popular culture like technology and social media, mutual care for the environment, and the fact that all were terribly influenced by COVID-19.Students in both countries belong to what might be described as a“TikTok culture,”although this Chinese app is likely more popular in the U.S. than in China itself.The Chinese term kuaicanshi yule,which means fast-food type entertainment, is the better expression, one that conveys“snackable content”for often meme-oriented, fast moving fashion that compete for short attention spans. Whatever the app or device, students have been much influenced by technology, positively and negatively. In fact,Chinese students do face more controls from their schools about their use of social media, although many are good at finding ways to avoid them.Furthermore, many students in both countries are attracted to similar styles, in both fashion and food, in music and film, with Chinese and American students often being similarly up-to-date on the latest hits, including television series.Finally, what both have most in common is the strong wish to live a good life, be successful and secure. The U.S. and China approach these wishes in different ways educationally, but both could learn from each other. This is especially true given the fact that we all live in an increasingly globalized world, and must learn to work together to solve not only global problems like climate change and disease outbreaks, but unfortunate frictions between the U.S. and China. Indeed, with the last point in mind, a significant weakness in the educational systems of both countries is that neither really understands the other. This is not a new problem, but solving it needs serious attention.12. What can we learn about the students in the U.S. and China from Paragraph 2?A. They show no interest in traditional culture.B. They have chances to experience social media.C. They are satisfied with their living environment.D. They were hardly influenced by COVID-19.13. What do Chinese students face about using social media in school?A. Rules to control.B. Supports from parents.C. Agreement from schools.D. Risk to leave.14. What do U.S.and Chinese students have in common?A. Schools stop them from using social media.B. They have little interest in television series.C. They achieve their wishes educationally similarly.D. They can't fully understand each other educationally.15. Which of the following can be the best title?A. U.S.and Chinese SchoolsB. U.S.and Chinese StudentsC. Similarities between U.S. and Chinese StudentsD. Differences between U.S. and Chinese Schools第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分)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。Travelling with friends can be an absolutely amazing experience where you could make lifelong memories or it could end up ruining your friendship. _16_ Here are some rules you should follow to make sure your next trip with friends goes as smoothly as possible._17_ Sure, you and your friends probably have some similar interests, but thats not always the case.
