Cheng Shining, a junior of Central China Normal University in Wuhan, was responsible for collecting and distributing supplies for quarantined people and medical staff. As the youngest volunteer at this site, he also chose to live there so that he could show up whenever he was needed. One day Cheng and two other volunteers took more than 3 hours to move all 1,462 boxes of mineral water to storage with 50 firemen's help. Cheng says. "A single person's strength is limited, but we know the whole country is helping us."Cheng was a volunteer for the Military World Games held in Wuhan last October. It was the first time he saw his hometown under the world's spotlight. "I've experienced the highlight of Wuhan, and now when my hometown touched a low point, I want to get through the difficulty together with the city," Cheng says. Like Cheng, 28-year-old Wuhan local Zhu Aobing also volunteered to help his home city. He signed up right away to be a volunteer for the vaccine. A total of 108 Wuhan locals became the first group of COVID-19 vaccine volunteers in March. They are healthy adults aged from 18 to 60 selected from thousands of people who applied. "Since the lockdown, I've always been thinking what I can do for my hometown during the epidemic," he says. Zhu is a freshman of Hubei University of Technology in Wuhan. He joined the army when he was 18 years old and served for five years. However, Zhu didn't want to miss the chance to study further, so he decided to go to college last year.

Colleges and universities across the US have decided to do more than talk about the rise in student cheating.We frequently hear about “the good old days”, when Americans were better, happier, and more honest. But were they more honest? Maybe yes, a long time ago when life was very different from what it is today.School children used to know the story of how Abraham Lincoln walked five miles to return a penny hed overcharged a customer. Its the kind of story we think of as myth. But in the case of Lincoln, the story is true unlike the story of George Washington and the cherry tree. Washingtons first biographer invented the tale of little George saying to his father, “I cannot tell a lie. I did it with my ax.” What is important in both stories, however, is that honesty was seen as an important part of the American character.And these are just two stories out of many. Students in the last century usually didnt read “fan” stories. They read stories that taught moral values. Such stories pointed out quite clearly that children who lied, cheated, or stole came to bad ends.Parents may have further reinforced those values. Its difficult to know. We do know that children didnt hear their parents talk of cheating the government on income taxes there werent any. The vast majority of Americans still believe that honesty is an important part of the American character. For that reason, there are numerous watch-dog committees at all levels of society.Although signs of dishonesty in school, business, and government seem much more numerous in recent years than in the past, could it be that we are getting better at revealing such dishonesty? There is some evidence that dishonesty may ebb and flow (起伏). When times are hard, incidents of theft and cheating usually go up. And when times get better such incidents tend to go down.Cheating in school also tends to ebb and flow. But it doesnt seem linked to the economy. Many educators feel that as students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, they are less likely to cheat. Surprisingly, some efforts to prevent cheating may actually encourage cheating a person may feel “they dont trust me anyway,” and be tempted to “beat the system.” Distrust can be contagious (传染的). But, so can trust!12. Why does the author mention the two stories of Lincoln and Washington?ATo show Lincoln is more admired than Washington.BTo introduce the topic to be discussed.CTo compare them with the presidents today.DTo prove honesty used to be very important in American character.13. What lesson do all the stories try to convey?AThose who do something evil will have to answer for it.BThose who steal will be put to prison.CThose who cheat will be sentenced.DThose who dont behave themselves will die young.14. What may be a main reason for dishonesty in society?AFamily life. BFun stories.CEconomic condition. DSchool education.15. The underlined sentence some efforts to prevent cheating may actually encourage cheating, means_.ADistrust will result in dishonesty sometimes.BThe measures to stop cheating in schools are badly taken.CDishonesty is a long-time discouragement.DThere will never be an effective way to stop cheating.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项（2021·江西·鹰潭市贵溪实验中学高二月考）You have probably heard the saying, “It is better to give than to receive.” The act of giving creates positive feelings for both the giver and the receiver. 16 Giving can not only bring positive feelings for the receiver, but it has also been shown to be a mood booster（助推器）for the giver. For example, a study published in Nature Communications found that the participants who chose to spend money on others rather than themselves had a greater increase in levels of self-reported happiness. 17 Because you will create positive energy when saying “Yes”.Giving improves your emotional and physical health. 18 Giving can create positive benefits to your physical health and well-being as well, including decreased stress, lowered blood pressure, and even increased life length. A recent study found that people who volunteered even a few hours a week were 40 percent less likely to develop high blood pressure than those who didn't.Giving increases feelings of appreciation. Both the giver and the receiver can experience a kind of gratefulness when generosity is at play. Why is this so important? Because appreciation is important to your physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. 19 Giving can change the world. All great change starts with small actions. Your generosity has the potential to affect massive change in the lives of other people and creatures. For example: you volunteer at your local animal shelter to accompany homeless dogs. Because these dogs have received extra love, they are happier. Because they are happier, they are more likely to be adopted. 20 It sets off a chain of small yet meaningful actions that lead to big change.A. Giving makes you happier.B. Giving leaves you more energetic.C. This situation shows how giving works. D. Thus, many people choose to give rather than to take.E. That's why telling people you are grateful is so important.F. The benefits of giving extend beyond your emotional health.G. So nod when your neighbor asks you to join a beach clean-up activity.第二部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。（2021·江苏·苏州市第六中学校高二阶段练习）It was a dark night.
