Sometimes, the kids in Stephanie Williams’s kindergarten class need a little extra motivation. While some
students prefer material rewards for good behavior, all Kameron Eisenberg wanted was to be the first one on the
bus. That way, he’d be able to spend a little extra time with the school bus driver Charles Frierson. In the few
minutes they shared together each afternoon, Mr. Charles would chat with Kameron, encourage him, and generally
brighten his day.
“I always ask the kids, ‘What do you want to work for today?’ And Kameron said, ‘I want to work to see the
bus,’” Stephanie said. “Just being the first one on the bus and talking to Mr. Charles does not seem like a lot, but to
him it’s the world.”
At the beginning of the school year, Kameron was having some difficulties in class. His behavior got him sent
to the administrator’s office almost every day. However, getting to hang out with Mr. Charles turned out to be a
strong motivator for the kindergartner to follow directions. After checking in with his teacher, the bus driver would
sometimes even talk to him about any problems he was having in school.
Stephanie saw a huge change in Kameron’s attitude once the boy started talking to Mr. Charles every day. So
did Kameron’s mom. Eventually, she decided to write a letter to the driver. As Charles read the note on camera, he
started to tear up.
“I have always believed angels come when you least expect them.” She wrote, “This holds especially true in
regards to Mr. Charles. I would like him to know how much we absolutely love him for who he is and what he has
done for my son.”
第 4页/共 12页According to School Transportations News. Charles and Kameron often get ice cream together now that
school is out for the summer. The bus driver also cheers him on at his weekend baseball games.
4. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?
A. Kameron was tired of Stephanie’s lessons.
B. Kameron liked to compete for the first place.
C. Kameron made friends with Mr. Charles.
D. All kids in the kindergarten preferred material rewards.
5. What happened to Kameron at the beginning of the school year?
A. He behaved badly in school.
B. He was to be dismissed from school.
C. He had a poor sense of direction.
D. He was affected more by the administrator.
6. Why did Kameron’s mom write to Mr. Charles?
A. To show her gratitude to him. B. To change Kameron’s attitude.
C. To express a mother’s enthusiasm. D. To get the school bus driver moved.
7. Which words can best describe Mr. Charles?
A. Patient and cautious. B. Caring and positive.
C. Honest and determined. D. Ambitious and sensitive.
In the United States alone, 119 billion pounds of food is wasted each year according to the nonprofit
organization Feeding America. Yet, over 44 million Americans go hungry every day. If this seems like a huge gap,
this is due both to the process of distributing the food and to the food waste that affects the world’s ability to
sufficiently raise its entire population. However, several New York City(NYC) communities have found an
effective way to reduce food waste—community fridges.
These fridges represent a grassroots way to increase access to food and fight against food waste. The
community fridges offer a way for people to give fresh food that they will not eat to others who need it. They first
surfaced in New York City in 2020. These community fridges offer a ray of hope to people who were struggling to
afford or find food during supply chain issues and rising food prices.
Community fridges offer a way for food that would otherwise be wasted to be redistributed. However
another wonderful effect of reducing food waste is the ability to reduce emissions that contribute to climate change.
第 5页/共 12页As food gets bad in landfills, it gives off methane, which is the second most common greenhouse gas. This means
that food waste is responsible for up to ten percent of global emissions—which is a pretty large number! Placing
food that would otherwise go uneaten in a community fridge can help to reduce these emissions.
Although there are some negative side effects of community fridges, their benefits usually outweigh their
negatives. Volunteers clean and maintain the fridges. Some community fridge nonprofits even use renewable
energy to power the refrigerators. Although the community fridge may be misused by some, these instances are
sparse. Now, the idea of the community fridge has spread. These fridges, also known as “friendly fridges”, will be
found in cities throughout the United States.
8. Why is “a huge gap” mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To seek for ways to feed the hungry. B. To lead in the problem of food waste.
C. To point out the population crisis in the US. D. To show the effect of reducing food waste.
9. What is a benefit of the community fridge program according to the text?
A. It helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
B. It motivates companies to make energy-saving fridges.
C. It is the best solution to global climate change.
D. It brings down food prices by offering more supplies.
10. What does the underlined word “sparse” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Ordinary. B. Serious. C. Reasonable. D. Rare.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards community fridges?
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Hopeful. D. Indifferent.
Children's average daily time spent watching television or using mobile device increased from 53 minutes at
age 12 months to more than 150 minutes at 3 years according to an analysis by researchers at the National
Institutes of Health (NIH). By age 8, children were more likely to log the highest amount of screen time if they had
been in home-based children or were born to first-time mothers.
“Our results indicate that screen habits begin early, ”said Edwina Yeung, an investigator in National
Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD).“This finding suggests that interventions(干涉) to
reduce screen time could have a better chance of success if introduced early.”
In the research, mothers of 4, 000 children responded to questions on their kids' media habits when they were
12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months of age.
第 6页/共 12页The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends avoiding digital media exposure for children under 18
months of age, introducing children 18 to 24 months of age to screen media slowly, and limiting screen time to an
hour a day for children from 2 to 5 years of age. In the current study, researchers found that 87% of the children
had screen time exceeding (超过) these recommendations. However, while screen time increased throughout
toddlerhood, by age 7 and 8, screen time fell to under 1.5 hours per day. The researchers believe this
decrease relates to time consumed by school-related activities.
The study authors classified the children into two groups based on how much their average daily screen time
increased from age 1 to age 3. The first group, 73% of the total had the lowest increase, from an average of nearly
51 minutes a day to nearly an hour and 47 minutes a day. The second group, 27% of the total, had the highest
increase, from nearly 37 minutes of screen time a day to about 4 hours a day. Higher levels of parental education
were associated with lower odds of inclusion in the second group.
12. Who use mobile device longest according to the NIH's analysis?
A. 10-year-old born to first-time mothers. B. 3-year-old children in low income families.
C. 8-year-old children in home-based childcare. D. 1-year-old children with parents poorly educated.
13. What does the research suggest according to Edwina?
A. Parents should stop their children using media.
B. Parents should limit the use of digital media themselves.
C. Parents should reduce their children's screen time earlier.
D. Parents should avoid their children using digital media at infancy (婴儿期).
14. Why does children's screen time fall when they age 7 and 8?
A. They are studying at school. B. They can control themselves.
C. They are tired of using them. D. They are forbidden to use them.
15. Which of the following may be the best title?
A. Keep Away from Media B. Screen Habits Begin Early
C. Urgency of Parental Education D. Harm of Home-based Childcare

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last Saturday, David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of
about eight years old. When David passed them, he heard the woman yell. “How stupid you are! You’re good at
第 10页/共 12页nothing.” David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset.
David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Brown in middle school. After he entered a middle school,
David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at
nothing, which David behaved. But one day it all changed.
One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new
chapter of the novel after they finished reading it. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it
much thought. But the next day, to his surprise, the comment “well done” from Mrs Brown came into view the
moment he turned to the page where the story was written. When David read that, he almost burst into tears. He
never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence.
That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Brown the next morning. And again
he was praised. David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Brown to read
them improve writing skills. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was
no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence, and was hopeful about his future.
He succeeded in entering a college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his
first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he
owed his success to Mrs Brown’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy.

范文：
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy. He went to the woman, who
immediately recognized him because she had read his books and seen his pictures. David started to chat with her.
He told her that what she said to her boy was not appropriate. Then he told her about the encouragement he oncegot from Mrs. Brown. In the end, he said, “I couldn’t have become a writer if I had believed I was good at nothing.”
The mother was ashamed when she heard that. She realized that she shouldn’t have called her son stupid,
which would make him lose confidence in himself. So she said, “Thank you for your advice. I’ll never say such
things to him again. Instead, I’ll find out what he’s good at and encourage him.” The woman then left with the boy.
Looking at the back of the boy, David felt relieved, hoping his action could make a difference to the boy.
