It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth(收费站). “I'm paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were told, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fees.”
The woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random(随意的) kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.
Judy Foreman read the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d written it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from the God.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn't know where it came from or what it really meant.
Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after
4
turning it around in her mind for days.
“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her dreams include painting the classrooms of poor schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.”
The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fees paid, who knows what you might do for someone else later? Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours! 24. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?
A. She had seven tickets. B. She wanted to show kindness. C. She hoped to please others. D. She knew the car drivers well.
25. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she .
A. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom B. wanted to know what it really meant C. decided to write it on a warehouse wall D. thought it was beautifully written
26. Which of the following statements is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence above?
A. Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves. B. Kindness and violence can affect one’s behavior. C. Kindness and violence can shape one’s character. D. Kindness and violence can change the world. 27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver. B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others. C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet. D.People should practice random kindness to those in need.

A man who took a woman's seat on a train and refused to leave has been banned （禁止）from rail travel for an uncertain period of time, China Railway Jinan Group said on Friday. Railway police also fined him 200 yuan ($29), according to the group.
A video posted online showed the man, Sun He, taking a window seat in an economy coach on a train from Jinan to Beijing on Tuesday, and refusing to give it back to the woman and taunting her.
\"You have three choices - stand, take my seat or go to the dining coach,\" Sun told the young woman in the video. According to the tickets, Sun's own seat was one row behind the woman's.
When a train attendant came, Sun said he was unable to stand and asked for a wheelchair. A railway police officer tried to persuade him but failed, and he was then left alone. Finally, the woman was given a seat in the business-class coach.
The punishment, released on Friday, came after the nationwide anger and online condemnation （谴责） of Sun's behavior.
It remains unknown how long he will be banned from rail travel. But according to a rule, offenders will be banned from rail travel for 90 or 180 days, depending on the violations(违规). Violations include smoking on trains, traveling without tickets, reselling tickets, using a fake ID and so on.
The new rule, which took effect from May 1, is part of measures to improve behavior and enhance public transport.
On Friday, netizens（网民）posted another similar video, China National Radio reported. A woman with a standing ticket took a passenger's seat on a train from Shenzhen to Qingdao on Wednesday, and refused to give it back even though a train attendant tried to mediate. The passenger and her companion were forced to stand for two hours from 4 am to 6 am, the report said. 28. Where can this passage be found?
A. notice. B. magazine. C. newspaper. D. guide book. 29. From Paragraph 2 and 3, we can learn that ______ .
A. The woman whose seat was sat by Sun got another seat in the end. B. All stuff and passengers did nothing during the whole matter.
6
C. Sun got away without buying the train ticket.
D. Sun had something important to do and that was why he took the woman’s seat. 30. Which word can be replaced by the word “taunting” in Paragraph 2?
A. advising B. disturbing C. sympathizing D. teasing 31. Which of the following is wrong? ______
A. The rule of violation is aimed to protect public transport. B. It is possible that Sun cannot choose railway transport forever. C. If one buys the ticket but doesn’t use, he/she can sell it to others. D. Sun’s bad behavior was strictly against among Chinese netizens.

We always read reports about costs of oil going up and we will think this is our most valuable material. However, water is the most valuable resource(资源). People in the Middle East are more worried about this than oil. Maybe the next war will be about water.
In the future, to control the quality and quantity(数量), you will use different water for different usages. The water used to wash your car, water your flowers or wash your clothes doesn’t need to be as clean as the water you drink.
One in five people live in countries without enough fresh water and in 25 years, the number is believed to be one in every three people. One of the most important reasons is that our world population is increasing. What do you suppose this will suggest for us in the future? Population control?
Traditional management of the water industry has been out of date since the 1990s. When technologies develop so rapidly in the world, we have lots of information for technologies in the business world, but in the water industry we don’t have any.
Britain has already taken measures to successfully improve their water industries. All the water services in Britain have been provided by private(私有的) companies since 1991. Since then, improvement has been made in the rules for their water quality and pricing.
What can you do now for the future? Using water more efficiently(有效地) in your house can make a great difference not only to the world but to your money. Even if
7
you don’t have to pay much now, you will when you start to pay big prices for different water usages.
32. Water shortage is getting more serious mainly because ______________.
A. water services will be provided only by private companies. B. there will be more wars about water.
C. people don’t have efficient management of the water industry. D. the world population is growing up.
33. Britain has improved their water quality by ___________.
A. opening more private companies for water services. B. reducing water pollution.
C. changing the management of the water industry. D. raising the price of water.
34. Which is the author’s suggestion for us?
A. Using as little water as possible in cooking. B. Buying more water for future use.
C. Using different water for different usages. D. Paying less money for water
35. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Water is our precious resource—start to save it now B. Easy ways to cut down on your water usage C. Why you should teach your children to save water D. Save water and save money

Nowadays, some socialapps like TikTok are widely received, especially among Chinese youth. TikTok swiping has become one of the favorite ways of killing time. People take short videos and show themselves through it. It is reported that 9 out of every ten people around shake their phones in their spare time.
When it comes to TikTok , people have different attitudes toward it. Recently, our class has had a heated discussion about it.Its advantages can be listed as follows. To begin with, it offers a wide variety of contents, which can broaden our horizons. People can enjoy pleasant scenery without travelling around the world. Moreover, many users have a positive attitude toward life. They set a good example to us.At last, people can relax themselves by watching some funny videos after a day’s hard
14
work. However, each coin has two sides. There must be some disadvantages about TikTok. At first, some vulgar videos have a bad effect on the teenagers, who tend to imitate what the adults do.In addition,it is a waste of time staying up all night playing it. Many people lack sleep and feel tired in the daytime. Furthermore, it also does harm to our eyesight.
As for me, I firmly hold the view thatthoughTikTok can bring us pleasure,we should use it properly. We are supposed todistinguish right from wrong and do not be obsessed with it.Only in this way can we enjoy it.
