四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
A
Everyone has high school memories that they cherish for life. For me, the best
moments of my school life were the days spent with my friends during Thanksgiving
Carnivals (嘉年华).
Last year, my school turned the carnival into a chance to raise money for the
poor by collecting recycled items and selling foods and drinks.
That morning, our principal made a speech during our assembly. He said that we
should develop a Thanksgiving habit of giving to charity to show how thankful we are
for what we have.
After that, the carnival was in full swing. Each grade tried its best to collect
different kinds of items like books and handicraft donated by both students and
teachers. Some even gave out valuable calligraphy and came with homemade food.
Then we gave prices to different items and put them in order on display.
Long before the carnival, my friends and I decided to make desserts and put
them on sale. But it turned out to be a very hard task for us because we seldom help
our parents out with cooking at home. To start with, we studied the recipes in a cook
6book. Then we gave it a try. You can imagine how ugly our first cookies were. The
process was a bit difficult, but it was unbelievable when we finally made 100 cups of
Serradura (木糠布丁) and dozens of cookies before the sunrise. Although it was tiring,
we wanted to do it and our sense of achievement was much greater than our
sleepiness.
It was such a relief that our products quickly sold out! The money we earned
became part of the fund of more than 150,000 MOP (澳门元) that the whole school
had raised by the end of the day.
This Thanksgiving Carnival helped me to be thankful for everything around me.
It also reminded me that happiness can come from helping those in need.
( ) 1. What made the Thanksgiving Carnival last year so special to the writer?
A. She learned how to make Serradura and cookies.
B. The speech given by the principal encouraged her a lot.
C. She raised some money for the poor by selling homemade desserts.
D. She collected a lot of recycled items during the Thanksgiving Carnivals.
( ) 2. When the writer and her friends decided to make desserts, ________.
A. they tried to do it on their own
B. they asked their parents for help
C. they knew the desserts would sell well
D. they were confident of their cooking skills
( ) 3. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word relief in Paragraph 6?
A. Feeling upset. B. Feeling relaxed.
C. Feeling nervous. D. Feeling hopeful.
( ) 4.What’s the best title of this passage?
A. Enjoying a Day of Giving Back
B. Our School Thanksgiving Carnival
C. Being Thankful for What We Have
D. The Best Moments of My School Life
B
Recently, just before our holidays, our school held a competition. It was to raise
money for two charities, in any way we wanted. The grade that raised the most money
7would be the winner and get a prize.
Immediately, we started to brainstorm ideas for our charity event. Finally we
decided on two events. ①
Our first event was a school talent competition in lower grades. The winner of
the competition would get a medal and lots of sweets. It sounded interesting so lots of
people signed up (报名) to perform. ②
There was an entrance fee for people who wanted to watch the competition. The
event was very popular so we raised a lot of money, about ￡130. However, we heard
that another grade had raised ￡180. ③
The five-a-side dodge-ball (躲避球) competition was held on the last day of term.
To enter, you had to find five friends and pay the entrance fee (50 pence a person),
you were ready to go. Once again, there was a prize and with a bit of advertising, lots
of people came to see the play. ④
So we did manage to raise a lot of money, although the other grades did quite
well too. But who was the winner was not important any longer. Being able to help
was.

( ) 7. Where should the sentence “We knew our next event had to be good.” be
put?
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
( ) 8. Why did the school hold the competition?

people, or other countries. Things that happen in other parts of the world may also
have an effect on our lives.
To build a more sustainable world, we need to think about many things. Oxfam
Hong Kong’s GCE makes it possible for young people to get knowledge of
themselves and the world. In this way, young people can get positive knowledge,
skills and values. 10 In this way, they learn to make the world more sustainable.

If you had billions of dollars, would you donate almost all of it to charity? Well,

Earlier this month, Zuckerberg and his wife promised to give 99 percent of their
Face book shares (股份) to s 1 throughout their lifetime. Right now that is about
$45 billion, and they plan to donate the money to things like science and e 2 .
Many rich people have done s 3 things. Bill Gates made The Giving Pledge,
which is where rich people promise to gradually (逐渐) g 4 away more than half
of their wealth to charities. This started in 2010, and now 139 people from 15
countries signed up for it.
10But giving back and h 5 others isn’t just for the rich. People like Zuckerberg
and Gates may have more to give, but people with l 6 are doing it too.
Especially around the holidays, people want to do their part and give back to
those who are not as l 7 as them.
Schools may have food collections, and together they can make a big donation to
h 8 people then.
People also organize special e 9 like concerts to raise money. Common
people donate whatever they can to US charities like the United Way and the
American Red Cross.
Then these charities are able to help US communities in different ways to i 10
the lives of the poor. All of these donations come together to make a difference.

请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。
In 1991, China Youth Daily photo-journalist Jie Hailong took a
series of photos named “I want to study”. Among them, the most
touching one shows a little girl: a pair of clear black eyes that really
touched the heart of many Chinese people. The desire and helplessness in “I want to
study” became the concern of the whole society. Later, this photo was picked up by
the China Youth Development Foundation and the Communist Youth League Central
12Committee as the symbol of Project Hope. And the life of the “big eyes” girl was
changed. After graduation from college, Su Mingjuan works in a bank and every year
she provides money to aid students in need. Just like Su, millions of other mountain
children have left the mountains with the help of this student aid program, and have
lived better lives through education.
The program has been growing and expanding since then. More than 760 Hope
Primary Schools are built every year. Now, the leaders of Project Hope plan to set up
the Hope Library in every Hope Primary School to bring children more care, give
them a good education and a happy childhood.
