I look forward to my half hour train ride to work every morning. I can look out of the window as it twists and turns itself through neighborhoods with the sun casting its strong lighting on the floor of the train car. I sometimes get lost in thought while following the light. But the reason I love this ride is that it’s a reminder of how neighborhoods can change from block to block.
For almost a year now I have been riding this train as I head into the office where I work as a reporter for a local magazine. I am one of 13 journalists who help report community news in areas that are often forgotten. And for me, that means covering areas like the one I grew up in.
Last week, as I was on the way to my office, I started wondering how neighborhoods have changed since the 2008 housing crisis. I searched addresses on the city’s southwest side, a neighborhood that has seen a significant number of residential homes pulled down, I scanned the street views recorded on my phone and saw how the neighborhood looked in 2007. Then I set out to visit the city block, and that’s when I met 3-year-old Harmony.
Harmony loved collecting rocks for me to hold as I walked down the street with her mother, Marquita. I already knew what the neighborhood looked like in the past, but Marquita shared more details of the people who once lived on her block, who were really friendly to each other. However, people today in the neighborhood are busy with life and seldom say hello to each other. Marquita has lived on this block her entire life, and Harmony has for most of her short life as well. But the neighborhood that Marquita grew up in will be one obviously different than the one Harmony will grow to know.
In the end, they smiled at my camera. And then I got back on the train and headed’back to the office to tell their stories.

As you walk around the UK in March, you might notice that some people are wearing a daffodil(水仙花) on their coats. The British wear these yellow flowers to show they support one of this country’s best-known charities: the Marie Curie Cancer Care.
The Marie Curie Cancer Care tries to ensure everyone diagnosed with cancer is cared for in the best possible way. It also helps fund research into possible cures through other organizations. Founded in 1948, it has been continuing with its goal ever since.
The charity was named after Marie Curie, a renowned scientist. She experimented with newly-discovered elements to create the theory of radioactivity. Unfortunately, over-exposure to the radioactive elements made her develop a disease and die in 1934. Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in two different fields. Because of her pioneering work which led to chemotherapy (化学疗法), the charity shared the name of Marie Curie.
The daffodil is one of the first plants to flower during spring in the UK, which marks the return of flowering plants to the ecosystem after winter. Because of this, the charity uses the daffodil as a metaphor for bringing life to other people through charitable giving.
Everyone you see wearing a daffodil has donated money to the charity, but each daffodil is worth only what you want to pay for it. The charity does ask that you stick to a minimum amount of £1.
The charity encourages people to start wearing their daffodils at the start of March, when the “Great Daffodil Appeal” kicks off. But that doesn’t mean you can only wear them in March. People are sometimes seen walking around with daffodils on their clothes all year round.
8．What does it mean when the British wear a daffodil on their coats?
A．They support a charity. B．They are recovering from cancer.
C．They’ve been helped by a charity. D．They’ve been diagnosed with cancer.
9．What does the underlined word “renowned” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Beautiful. B．Modest. C．Famous. D．Humorous.
10．Why was the charity named after Marie Curie?
A．Because patients required that. B．Because it was launched by her.
C．Because she greatly supported it. D．Because it could show respect for her.
11．What can we learn about the daffodil from the text?
A．It can be used as medicine. B．It’s thought to stand for hope.
C．It’s widely worn worldwide. D．It’s sold to the wearers at a high price.

Sulphur-crested cockatoos (葵花凤头鹦鹉) are common in western Australia, where they normally live in wooded areas. But as forests have been cut down, cockatoos have gotten used to living near people. Scientists report that people in Sydney, Australia are in a battle with these birds.
Last year, scientists at the Max Planck Institute reported that the cockatoos had learned how to open the covers of trash bins. That’s not an easy job. The cockatoos must lift the heavy cover with their beaks (喙) and then walk along, pushing the cover up until it falls over.
When scientists first began studying the cockatoos in 2018, only three areas near Sydney had cover-opening cockatoos. A year and a half later, cockatoos in 44 different areas knew the trick. This time the scientists weren’t just studying cockatoos. They were also studying humans.
The scientists spent weeks studying more than 3,200 trash bins in four different areas of Sydney. They wanted to see how many bins were protected and what methods were used.
In one area, over half the bins were protected. The most common way of protecting the bins was to put a brick or some other heavy objects on the cover. Some people put things like rubber snakes on the top of their bins. The scientists discovered that the humans were teaching each other tricks, too. In most neighborhoods, many people used the same cockatoo-stopping methods as their neighbors.
The researchers say it’s like a race between humans and cockatoos to learn new ways of doing things. Now many cockatoos have learned how to push heavy items off the bins. As a result, humans have figured out ways to attach the items to the top of their bins. The scientists describe the situation as a “human-wildlife conflict”. They expect these conflicts will become more common as humans take over more areas that used to be wild.
12．What can we infer about the cockatoos from the text?
A．They like copying humans’ behavior.
B．They are newly found in Australia.
C．They don’t like living with people.
D．They are very clever birds.
13．What did the scientists want to know in paragraph 4?
A．How the cockatoos learned the trick.
B．Why the birds in more areas did the trick.
C．How humans responded to the birds’ trick.
D．Why humans taught the birds to do the trick.
14．What did the researchers find about cockatoos in their research?
A．They wanted their habitat back.
B．They intended to make humans angry.
C．They could adopt new ways to open bins.
D．They disliked looking for food themselves.
15．What is the best title for the text?
A．A battle over trash bins between cockatoos and humans
B．A human-wildlife conflict all over Australia
C．A problem caused by cockatoos to humans
D．A big problem of “homeless” cockatoos

“Happy New Year. Papa! Where is Mother?” we cried.
“A little boy came begging and said they were starving at home. so your mother went to see and ah, here she is.”
As Papa spoke, in came Mamma, looking very cold, rather sad, and very much excited. Not far away from here, lies a poor woman with a little newborn baby. Six children are hud-dled(挤在一起)into one bed to keep from freezing for they have no fire. There is nothing to eat over there, and the oldest boy came here to tell me they were starving on this bitterly cold day. “My little girls, will you givc them your breakfast, as a New Year’s gift?”
We sat silent a minute and looked at the nice, hot porridge(粥), creamy milk, and good bread and butter; for we were brought up like English children, and never drank tea or coffee, or ate anything but porridge for our breakfast.
“I wish we’d eaten it up,” thought I for I was rather a selfish child, and very hungry.
“May I go and help carry it to the poor, little children?” asked Beth, who had the tende-rest heart that ever beat under a spendy apron.
“1 can carry that little pot,” said little May, proudly giving the thing she loved best.
“And I shall take all the porridge,” I burst in, heartily ashamed of my first feeling.
“You shall put on your things and help me, and when we come back, we’ll get something to eat,” said Mother, beginning to pile the bread and butter into a big basket.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几种可以帮助你获得工作机会的建议。
36．考查不定冠词。句意：但是，学习如何以一种令人信服的方式成为一个自我推销者才是面试的全部内容。分析可知，空处修饰名词manner，表泛指，此处指“一种令人信服的方式”，应填不定冠词a。故填a。
37．考查副词。句意：穿着得体。分析可知，空处修饰动词Dress作状语，应填副词appropriately，表示“合适地”。故填appropriately。
38．考查过去分词。句意：许多招聘经理会根据你的穿着来形成他们对你的第一印象。分析可知，句子已有谓语动词will form，所以空处应填非谓语动词，且此处动词base与其逻辑主语impression 之间为被动关系，应用过去分词based表被动。故填based。
39．考查一般现在时和主谓一致。句意：合适的面试着装取决于你申请的公司和该公司的文化。分析可知，本句描述的是一般事实，所以空处谓语动词应用一般现在时形式，且要与主语The right interview clothing 保持一致，用单数depends，表示“取决于”。故填depends。
40．考查名词。句意：合适的面试着装取决于你申请的公司和该公司的文化。分析可知，空处由定冠词the修饰，应填名词，所以填可数名词单数organization，表示“组织”，此处特指前面提到的the company you are applying for“你申请的公司”。故填organization。
41．考查介词。句意：让自己从其他求职者中脱颖而出的秘诀很简单：问一些对公司有价值的好问题。此处distinguish……from……为固定搭配，表示“区分……与……”，符合语境。故填from。
42．考查定语从句。句意：让自己从其他求职者中脱颖而出的秘诀很简单：问一些对公司有价值的好问题。分析可知，空处引导一个限制性定语从句，代替先行词questions，指物，并在从句中充当主语，所以填关系代词that和which均可。故填that/which。
43．考查让步状语从句。句意：无论你在哪个行业，你都可能会被问到与行为有关的面试问题。分析句子可知，空处为“no matter+疑问词”的结构，引导一个让步状语从句，再结合句意可知，此处指的是无论身处哪个产业（什么产业），所以填what和which均可，此处what和which在从句中作定语修饰名词industry，no matter what表示“无论什么”，no matter which表示“无论哪一个”。故填what/which。
44．考查不定式的被动语态。句意：无论你在哪个行业，你都可能会被问到与行为有关的面试问题。expect to do为固定短语，表示“期待做”，且此处的动词ask与you之间为被动关系，所以填不定式的被动语态to be asked。故填to be asked。
45．考查动名词。句意：专家建议，要想编出一段引人入胜的轶事，可以使用真实的反馈来突出你的贡献。分析可知，此处recommend doing sth.为固定搭配，表示“推荐做某事”，此处using为动名词做宾语。故填using。

47．参考范文：
We were soon ready and set out. Mother led the way, carrying the basket of bread and butter,while we followed with our breakfast. I walked behind, feeling ashamed for my selfish thoughts earlier. Arriving at the poor woman’s home, we’re met with six children huddled together in one bed. Mother quickly set to work, warming the porridge on the stove while Beth and May helped to give away the bread and butter. I watched as they eagerly ate the food, their eyes shining with gratitude.
As we made our way back home, I felt a sense of warmth in my heart. From that day forward, I knew that I would always try hard to help those in need, no matter how small the gesture is. And as we sat down to our own breakfast that day, I felt truly grateful for all that we had, and for the opportunity to give to those who had so little. Giving was far more important than taking, which made the biggest difference in people’s lives.
