1、   What is the most important thing in the world? In my opinion, it is health. You can take away our money, houses, cars, or even our clothes, but we can still keep alive. But if our health is taken away, we will surely die. 1. That is why we always try our best to eat healthily and often do exercise. Doing exercise every day helps us build a strong body. We can’t study and work well without a healthy body. Doing exercise can help us study or work better. More and more people do exercise to keep healthy. We can do exercise whenever we want. As for students, 2.他们可以在体育课上进行各种各样的运动，比如跑步，跳跃和打篮球等等。

What’s more, I think friends are an important part of one’s life. 3. I always feel better when I am with friends. When I am with my friends, I always laugh. When I am sad, I can also share my problems with my friends. As the saying goes, “A friend is easier lost than found.” We should value the time we spend with our friends.

All in all, by eating healthily and doing exercise, we can keep our body healthy. 4.通过和朋友相处，我们可以保持心灵健康。Physical and mental (身心) health are both important for us. 5. The more we care about our health, the better our lives will be.

21、The fire at Notre Dame Cathedral（巴黎圣母院）in Paris has raised questions about the condition of thousands of other historic buildings across Europe.

Some people say the fire last month was a wake-up call, not just for Europe, but the whole world. Large fires have long robbed humanity of knowledge, art and treasures. One example is the fire at the famous library of Alexandria in northern Egypt about 1700 years ago.

In 2015, the German engineering company Siemens found that Scotland had about 10 serious fires a year, while England lost at least twelve listed buildings a year. In Germany, 70 historic buildings have been destroyed since 2000.

And all too often, fires happen while old buildings are being repaired. Experts say that what is needed is continuous attention and maintenance(维护). These steps, if taken, could help avoid the need for major repairing work.

But regular attention and maintenance costs money.

Part of the problem comes from the shortage of money provided by governments after the 2008 financial crisis (金融危机). As a result, governments are increasingly looking for rich companies to keep up these historic buildings.

“We do need more money, but this is a shared duty for governments, businesses and citizens across Europe,” said an officer from the European Union.

Some say world-famous monuments like Notre Dame are the driving force behind tourism and should get more respect. People have noticed the importance of such respect.

“Historic buildings are a gold mine(矿). You cannot explore it and then just leave the mine and go to another one. It is something you really have to value,” the officer said.

【1】After the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral, more attention is paid to ________ .

A．European governments

B．famous libraries

C．engineering companies

D．the old buildings

【2】According to the passage, one of the biggest enemies of cultural treasures is ________ .

A．robbers

B．fires

C．money

D．tourists

【3】“These steps” in Paragraph 4 refer to (指代) ________ .

A．attention and maintenance

B．careful repairing work

C．enough respect from people

D．serious financial crisis

【4】The officer thinks ________ should accept the duty of caring for these famous monuments.

A．citizens around the world

B．the European governments

C．rich European businesses

D．the whole European society

【5】The purpose of writing this article is to ask everyone to ________ .

A．value historic buildings

B．donate plenty of money

C．pay attention to big fires

D．avoid exploring mines

23、   It happened two years ago. It was Mother’s Day morning. I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the ground. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed (尴尬的) and clearly in shock. Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very sad about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”

At the front of the supermarket a charity group had set up a stand selling fish and chips and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,” he said. I was amazed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture (姿势).”

By now paramedics (救援人员) had arrived, and were attending the injured (受伤的) woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment (器具). He said he didn’t want to go up to her.

Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him, “My son was very sad for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”

At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”

The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson.

B.Tenyson’s idea of buying a flower got his mother’s support.

C.Tenyson’s care for the elderly woman surprised the flower seller.

D.The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson’s gesture.

【2】The underlined word “intimidated” in the passage probably means “___________”.

A.surprised B.pleased C.frightened D.excited

【3】Choose the right order of the events given in the story. _________

a. The paramedics arrived and attended the injured woman. 

b. We bought a flower for the lady to cheer her up.

c. I did some shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son.

e. An elderly woman fell over at the entrance.

A.c, e, a, b, d B.a, c, e, d, b C.c, a, e, d, b D.c, e, d, b, a

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A.The Power of Flower B.Mother’s Day
