25、   Seven years ago, Joyce Akinpe moved to Australia to start a new life, finding an exciting job in Sydney. After the outbreak（爆发）of COVID-19, she suddenly lost her job.

Seeing that there were many others like herself in trouble from the outbreak, Akinpe and her two roommates, Michele Gomez and Maureen Lee, brainstormed ideas for how to help their local community. They came up with a street pantry（储藏柜）. Gomez said the idea was very simple, “Take what you need and leave what you can.”

With the help of Gomez’s father, they built the Blessing Box—a street pantry, with shelves and hanging baskets and two doors made from old furniture.

It sits just at the back of the three girls’ home, so they can look after it. They put some Information notices into their neighbors’ mailboxes, and the Blessing Box was quickly filled with the donations from the community. “It is the community’s strong support that keeps the project alive,” Akinpe said.    

We now have hundreds of people visiting our box every day. It might take only an hour for the box to be full and next hour it might become empty again. “We are now helping others to carry out similar projects in their own communities, too”, Gomez said.    

Lee said things in the box were mostly convenience foods, as well as some necessary life things such as toilet paper. “Few people take everything at once. They think there are other people who need them more.” Lee added.   

There were many people rushing there for donations. The three girls needed to sanitize (消毒)all the donations and make sure all food packages were not broken. Gomez said that they had no time for rest, but what they did was very meaningful.

【1】What did Akinpe and her roommates build the street pantry for?

A．Finding a new job.

C．Water.

D．Toilet paper

【3】What’s the best title for the passage?

A．Challenges through Life

B．Happiness from Strangers

C．Friendship during the Hard Times

D．Kindness behind the Blessing Box

26、   When Shanghai introduced a new rubbish sorting policy (政策) in July last year, the people in this city took some time to get used to it. They joked that every time they took out their litter, the aunt standing by the bins would ask, "What kind of litter are you?"

Starting on May 1, Beijing joined many Chinese cities by introducing a new rubbish sorting policy. People should sort their litter into four groups: kitchen, recyclable, harmful and other waste. These groups are represented (代表) by four different colors of rubbish bins-green, blue, red and gray. Those who fail to sort their litter correctly may face fines of up to 200 yuan.

The way Beijing sorts its rubbish sounds different from cities like Shanghai and Qingdao. These cities use four different groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry. Although their names are different, the groups are actually the same. Wet rubbish in Shanghai is, in fact, kitchen rubbish. And dry rubbish is the same as other waste.

Many people don't know how to sort their litter correctly, so Beijing government is offering online guidelines. If people don't know how to throw away rubbish, they can search for it on the WeChat account Guanchenglishi (管城理市) to find out. By searching a key word or taking a photo, people can find out which group their waste belongs to at once.

【1】Which statement is true according to this passage?

A．Rubbish sorting is being carried out all over the country.

B．Rubbish sorting started in Beijing on May 1.

C．In Qingdao, people who don't sort their litter correctly may be fined 200 yuan.

D．People in Beijing dislike rubbish sorting policy.

【2】What will happen if people don't follow the rubbish sorting policy?

A．They will be made to learn the policy.

B．They won't be allowed to throw rubbish away.

C．They won't be noticed.

D．They may be fined.

【3】The last paragraph mainly talks about _________.

A．the government's advice about rubbish sorting policy

B．problems with Beijings rubbish sorting policy

C．how Beijing government help people sort their rubbish

D．actions we can take to protect the environment

【4】What can we infer (推断) from the passage?

A．People are made to sort their litter and they are unhappy.

B．Four cities are using the new rubbish sorting policy in China.

C．Many people had some problems with rubbish sorting at first.

D．People should sort their litter into four groups.

It was last June. I entered a supermarket to pick some vegetables, when a young man askedme, “Can you tell me where the _______ counter (柜台) is?” “Well, the milk is in the lower rightcorner,” I replied.

“Sure, thank you.” he answered. I was _______ he was still picking more bottles and after a fewminutes his trolley had 24 bottles of milk. I laughed and asked, “Why so many bottles?” Hesmiled and said, “These are for my street dogs. Today, I want to be a Santa for them.” I said, “Well, it’s too _______ for you to be a Santa. It is still June and Christmas comes in December.”

He _______ at me and walked a few steps, as if he wanted to say something but he left the counter without saying anything.

Suddenly, we met again at the bread counter. “So these bread and cakes are also for the street dogs, Mr. Santa” He smiled and said, “Yes.
