How do you fill a hungry heart? I took out a notebook, and listed all the kindness that I have ever given. Five hours later, when I landed, I closed the notebook and rushed to the hospital to 5 my mother. Making that list of kindness that night helped me in the days ahead to do the things I need to do and be the daughter I wanted to be. Kindness 6 an empty heart. It's a gift, once and for 7 .Last night, it was cold and rainy, 8 I wrapped (包裹) myself up in a blanket. Warm then, I thought of being 7 years old in the Mr Harrison's second grade class. That morning, I'd worn my new shoes to school. I loved the shoes and all the way to school on the bus I couldn't stop 9 them. But when I got off the bus, my right foot—my new right-shoe—went into a puddle (坑) of 10 . Mr Harrison saw the water dripping(滴下) into class.

One good thing is the return of two kinds of trees, which grow only near streams. They had nearly disappeared since the wolves were gone. There was a reason for this.The wolves scare away elk(麋鹿), which are animals that eat trees growing out of the ground. Now elk avoid spending time near streams in the park. They have no place to run from wolves there.The trees that disappeared near streams now grow in the park.Yellowstone National Park, “America's first national park,” is in the northwest part of Wyoming. It spreads into Idaho and Montana. It became a park in 1872. The park is beautiful and has many visitors.Wolves were common in the park at first. As time went on, the wolves began dying out. By 1926, no wolves could be found. People who lived near Yellowstone killed them because the wolves would eat the animals the people had raised to sell.In 1995, many people joined forces to bring back the wolves. They were people who cared about animals and the health of the land. At first, this was only a dream since there were no wolves in the park!Wolves were in Canada, which is north of the United States. People went to Canada to catch wolves.They brought them back to the park and let them go. They kept close track of the wolves' actions. When a wolf died, they would figure out the reason. A lot was done to protect the wolves from harm.Yet, farmers also complained that the wolves were eating their animals. In 1997, they tried to get rid of(摆脱) the wolves by passing a law to remove them from the park. The law was never passed.Now, there are many wolves in Yellowstone National Park. The land is healthier, and the wolves have their home back.1.Why did two kinds of trees disappear along the streams in the park? ( )A.Because people cut down most of them.B.Because there were too many wolves.C.Because there were too many elk.D.Because there was a wild fire.2.Whi ch of the following can be put in the blank “”?( )A.The land was in a total mess from time to time.B.The land was a home for wolves for a long time.C.Wolves didn't seem to stay in such a small place.D.Wolves couldn't find enough food around the park.3.What did some people do to protect the wolves? ( )①passed a law to get rid of the wolves②found out the reason of the wolves' deaths③kept a close look at the wolves④brought wolves from Canada to the parkA.①②③B.①③④C.①②④D.②③④4.What is the writer's attitude towards the wolves in the Yellowstone National Park?

We went 10-1 and I was named the most valuable player. 5 , I often had nightmares at that time. In the crazy dreams I was to 6 Miller's accident.One afternoon, I was crossing the field to go home and saw Miller stopped in front of a fence(栅栏)—which wasn't 7 to climb if you had both arms. I'm sure I was the last person in the world he wanted to 8 . But although difficult, he accepted the challenge. I helped him move 9 over the fence. When we were finally safe on the other side, he said to me, “You know, I didn't tell you this during the season, but you did 10 . Thank you for taking the place of me.”His words freed me from my bad 11 . I thought to 12 , even without an arm he was more of a leader. Damaged but not defeated, he was still 13 me.

If not, then you could be a “super recogniser”.Usually it's easy for someone to recognise(识别) the faces of their family and friends. But it could be difficult for them to remember faces that they've only seen once.However, studies have found that super recognisers have amazing face recognition skills. They can remember at least 80 percent of faces they've seen. At least one in 50 people are super recognisers, reported Daily Mail.Bournemouth University of the UK recently carried out a study. They tried to find whether super recognisers have a different way to remember faces.They found that when these people look at faces, they spend more time looking at the persons'noses.Researchers also found that these people are not smarter than others. Their super ability usually only helps them recognise faces.important finding is that there are subtypes(子类型) of super recognition.Some super recognisers never forget faces. But for some, if you show pairs of faces to them at the same time, they can quickly decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people.In fact, many super recognisers say they are good at “spotting”(认出) faces in a crowd.These subtypes of super recognition could be used in many areas of life. For example, the skills could be very useful at a passport control checkpoint. Super recognisers could also help the police spot known troublemakers, bad people or even missing people in crowds.1.Whose face can an ordinary person remember easily?( )A.A foreigner's.B.A friend's.C.A troublemaker's.D.A missing person's.2. According to the passage, which part of the body helps a lot in recognising faces? ( )A.Eye.B.Ear.C.Mouth.D.Nose.3. Which word can best fit in the blank in Paragraph 7?( )A.One.B.Other.C.The other.D.Another.4. What does the passage mainly talk about?

People who volunteer spend their time doing things they feel strongly about. For example, animal lovers may volunteer at an animal shelter to help improve the treatment and well-being of animals.For students, valuable lessons may also be learned by volunteering.Take Andrew Makhoul as an example. Makhoul didn't spend the 2012 spring break partying. Unlike his classmates, who planned on relaxing after a long time of hard work, the 19-year-old decided to do something for people who were less fortunate than himself.He travelled to an orphanage (孤儿院) in Guatemala in Central America. The orphanage is in one of the poorest parts of the country, and depends on volunteers to stay open. Makhoul doesn't speak much Spanish, but he found communication wasn't a problem: “You communicated with love,” according to an article on his university website. And what he gave out, he got back: “You could see love when you looked in their eyes.”Makhoul's first time as a volunteer only lasted a week, but by the end of that week, he knew he'd be back soon-because he saw love and hope.US author Sherry Anderson once wrote,“Volunteers don't get paid, not because they're worthless, but because they're priceless.” And this is perhaps why volunteers all around the world keep doing what they do.1.What is the use of Churchill's words? ( )A.To show his strong idea.B.To start with an opinion.C.To make readers consider.D.To force readers to agree.2.Which is TRUE according to the passage? ( )A.More Americans volunteer in May than any other month.B.Sometimes volunteers get some pay because of their work.C.Students can learn something valuable through volunteering.D.Makhoul found it difficult to communicate in the orphanage.3.What did Makhoul learn from his experience in volunteering? ( )A.Nothing.B.Spanish.C.Love and hope.D.Culture.4.Which words best describes volunteers? ( )A.Worthless.B.Priceless.C.Peaceful.D.Homeless.Ⅲ.[2019·广州改编]词汇运用阅读下面短文,然后根据括号内所给汉语意思写出单词的正确形式。

Over one billion(十亿)young people are at risk of hearing loss(失聪)because of listening to loud noise for long periods of time. Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes is harmful to your hearing.The United Nations has standards for safe listening. It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 decibels(dB分贝) for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes. The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock concert can be about 100 dB.Loud noise is harmful to the inner ears(内耳). Most of us are born with about 16,000 hair cells(听毛细胞) in our inner ears. However, listening to loud noise for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die. This is what causes hearing loss.Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud. But this can depend on where you are. For example, if you are in a noisy place like the subway, you might turn up your music too loud without realising it. Later, when you listen to it at the same volume in a quiet place, you might feel uncomfortable.The World Health Organisation said the “safe level” for most sounds is below 80 dB for upto 40 hours a week. A level of 80 dB is roughly equal to(大约相当于) the noise of a subway.1.Many young people are at risk of hearing loss because they .

( )A.We feel comfortable when listening to loud music in a quiet place.B.Most people are born with about 1,600 hair cells in the inner ears.C.It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 dB for 15 minutes.D.Below 80 dB for up to 40 hours a week is the “safe level” for most sounds.4.What is the best title of the passage? ( )A.Keep the Loud VolumesB.Loud Noise Is Harmful to HearingC.The Risk of Listening to MusicD.Loud Noise Stops Ears from WorkingⅢ.语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的词,或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。

Emperor penguins are the largest penguins on earth. Each adult is over a metre tall, and can weigh up to 40 kilograms.For many months each year, emperors live near the sea in large groups called colonies. However, in May, the weather gets colder and ice covers large areas of ocean. Each colony moves many kilometres from the water.Sharing the workThere, each mother penguin lays just one egg. Then all the hungry mothers must walk back to the ocean to find food. The father penguins put their eggs on top of their feet, under a special piece of skin called the brood pouch(育儿袋). For two months, the father penguins keep the eggs safe and warm. They do this through some of the coldest weather conditions on earth. By July, it is winter in Antarctica. Most animals leave for warmer places, but the father penguins stay. In this time, without food, a father penguin can lose almost half of his weight.New lifeThen the babies begin to hatch! The mother penguin returns just in time to see her baby come out of its egg. The chick is then moved to her brood pouch. This can be difficult. If the chick falls, it can freeze quickly, so the penguin parents must be very careful! Once this is done, the father penguin can go back to the ocean to find food.Growing upOver the next few months, penguin parents take turns to go to the ocean for food. They each make the trip several times, bringing back food for the chick. The chick grows quickly and is always hungry.Into the waterBy December, winter is ending. The chick is five months old and can live on its own. Soon it enters the water for the first time. It will swim and eat until next April, and then return here. After a few more years, it, too, will start its own family.Ⅲ.[2020·原创]语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的词,或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。
