“Miss, I want to learn Korean, but I’m not good at English. How can I succeed in Korean?” Jane told me when I taught her basic Korean phrases. What she said made me flash back to the first time I learned Korean. I would not have had a chance to tell that she can do it if I had given up on that day.

I began to learn Korean because I discovered Korean language and grammar fascinating and I could express myself in ways I never could do in English. In the following years, I challenged myself and pushed myself harder to do things that I hadn’t thought I could do.

Jane’s words made me learn I could share my knowledge by being a Korean language teacher. When realizing my Korean was limited, I decided to try my best to get a master’s degree in Korean Language Education. I also tried to spare time to learn Korean on the Internet. Reading Korean textbooks, listening to music and watching dramas didn’t help me much, so I took the short-term Korean program at Ewha Language Center. I came to my Korean friend’s house to have dinner. Her family was surprised when I told them that I knew how to make Gimbap and when I said goodbye in Korean when I left. They appreciated that I quickly got used to the language and culture, which made me more confident about speaking Korean.

I made practical use of my knowledge by working as a volunteer teacher in a local school. I worked hard to explore different teaching ways, making my students enjoy my class. I made sure that I had all of the materials that I needed before class started. Moreover, I tried to help develop and improve students’ learning abilities. Now I strongly believe that my research experience, responsibility, leadership, and enthusiasm will help me become an excellent Korean language teacher.

21. What did the author do when hearing her student’s question?

A. Realize the great power of Korean.

B. Feel it necessary to work much harder.

C. Praise her student’s willingness to learn.

D. Remember her past personal experience.

22. Why did the author want to get a master’s degree?

A. To achieve her dream.

B. To try to improve herself.

C. To gain more confidence.

D. To better help her student Jane.

23. How was the author like as a volunteer teacher?

A. Being very strict.

B. Being very patient.

C. Being well prepared.

D. Being quite inexperienced.

B

Destinee Whitaker was in fourth grade when she learned that millions of people around the world lack clean water.

“It was a problem that confused me for a long time,” said Whitaker, from the United States city of Philadelphia. “Water is a necessity.”

When she got to Carver High School of Engineering and Science, Whitaker carefully researched the problem and felt that she must do something about it.

Early in her senior year, Whitaker approached fellow members of the school’s National Honor Society with a proposal: They should raise money to buy water purification(净化) systems for people in need. Whitaker, the National Honor Society president, knew the systems would have to be easy to carry and able to operate without electricity. So she checked with a microbiologist（微生物学家）to make sure the system she had her eye on would fit the bill.

Once her classmates agreed to back the proposal, Whitaker took it upon herself to raise money. She organized a game where students bought tickets to guess how many pieces of candy a jar contained.

In the end, they raised $800—a large amount for a school where 70 percent of the students’ families are not well-off.

Whitaker soon found that raising money was the easier part of the project. Finding an organization that could deliver the water purification systems was a bigger puzzle. She approached some organizations about their possible connections but no one could help.

Then Whitaker connected with Joseph Sackor, who runs the Liberia Medical Mission—an organization that provides medical care to Liberians who lack health services. Sackor accepted the school’s money and agreed to deliver the systems to people who needed them.

Whitaker dreams of someday launching(发起)her own nonprofit organization to bring clean water to more people in need.

“Some students in Liberia can’t even go to school because their parents cannot afford to buy them bottled water,” Sackor said. “This money is huge.”

24. What problem did Whitaker want to solve?

A. Global poverty.

B. Lack of clean drinking water.

C. Lack of education.

D. Low public awareness of healthy lifestyles.

25. The underlined phrase “fit the bill” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_______”.

A. meet their needs

B. be cheap enough

C. be difficult to operate

D. need improvement

26. What does Whitaker want to do in the future?

A. Live and work in Liberia.

B. Study medicine to help those in need.

C. Set up a charity organization to help more people.

D. Provide bottled water to Liberian students.

C

Tim Berners-Lee. If you don’t know his name, you’ve surely used his famous invention—the World Wide Web, a system we use to search for information on the Internet.

On Oct 29, the Internet officially turned 50 years old. “This birthday must mark the moment we take on the fight for the web we want.”

Speaking at the University of California, he pointed out three problems affecting today’s

web-criminal（犯罪的）behavior, ad-based clickbait websites(钓鱼网站), and offensive online communication. These problems led Berners-Lee to create the Web Foundation and a contract （契约）for the web. Both aim to protect Internet users.

In the contract, he mentioned the need for companies to make sure that everyone has web access, called for a reduction in offensive material, and more personal data privacy. The latter is a hot topic right now. Big companies, like Facebook, have misused users’ personal information by sharing it with advertisers.

Despite all of these bad sides, we shouldn’t forget about all the benefits the Internet brings.

In this digital age, the Internet connects the world through social media, cashless payments and has become an instant source of information. It can also make a positive difference through activities that push for positive change, education or aid.

One such campaign is Movember. The movement, held every November, encourages men to grow a moustache for the whole month, post pictures online, and donate. The charity promotes physical health, mental health, and suicide(自杀)prevention for men.

Not to mention, the Internet is also a source of fun. From funny kitten videos on Weibo to your very own Douyin videos, the Internet allows you to share what you create.

Speaking to the Web Foundation, Berners-Lee said, “The web has become a public square, a library, a doctor’s office, a shop, a school, and it has given marginalized groups a voice.”

“In the next 30 years, if we give up on trying to build a better web ... we will have failed it. We need to come together as a global community.”

27.Why were the Web Foundation and the contract for the web created?

A. To celebrate the Internet’s 50th birthday.

B. To build a protected network environment.

C. To increase Internet speeds around the world.

D. To fight online crime.

28. What is the purpose of Movember?

A. To encourage men to do charity work.

B. To promote a healthy lifestyle.

C. To support men’s health issues.

D. To draw public attention to mental health issues.

29.What do “marginalized groups” in the second-to-last paragraph probably refer to?

A. Wealthy people.

B. Old people.

C. People in power.

D. Disadvantaged people.

30.What is the main idea of the article?

A. The future of the World Wide Web.

B. The history of the World Wide Web.

C. Tim Berners-Lee’s plan to save the World Wide Web.

D. The problems with the World Wide Web.

第2节 概要写作（满分25分）

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

In my 30s, I had two kids, a career, a husband and no time for anything else. Then my stepfather called to say he had cancer. Stage four.

It felt as though the entire world stood still. Everything around me ceased to exist. All that existed in that moment were me, the phone and my stepdad’s voice.

The words that were circling in my mind wouldn’t form a sentence. Finally, I said, “I’m sorry. I love you. I will support you as best I can ...”

It felt as though everything had changed.

I needed some control, so I made a list:

1. Find chemo-friendly（化疗友好的）foods

2. Make soup and freezer meals

3. Find babysitter for hospital visits

4. Start guitar lessons

I know, the last item seems strange, but in that moment, my soul reached through my body and wrote the words, “start guitar lessons.” I could not deny the urgency I felt to complete this task. It had been on my to-do list for nearly 15 years.

My stepfather played the guitar his entire life. It was his way to relax. After work he would sit on the couch, pick up his guitar and let the stress of the day melt away. He wasn’t a performer but he did perform once, for me, as a gift at my wedding.

I rented a guitar and started taking lessons.

When my stepfather was allowed to leave the hospital, I brought my guitar to his house. As he lay in bed, I’d show him the chords（和弦）I’d learned and play bad versions of classic rock songs. Even though I sounded rough, he tapped his feet and listened enthusiastically.

Sometimes, I would “conveniently” leave my guitar at home in the hopes of being able to play his Martin guitar. It sounded rich and soulful compared to my rental instrument. He would help me practice with it. Thanks to him, I mastered the difficult F# chord.

Five months after his diagnosis（诊断）, he died.

He left me the Martin guitar.

It was haunted（缠绕）with memories. I would pick up the guitar and cry. If only I had started earlier, if only we had longer to play music together. If only...

Then, one day, I realized that our connection was still alive. When I pull out that Martin, I know I’m not alone.

第二节 概要写作

My stepfather played the guitar all his life. I wanted to learn but never started. After he was diagnosed with cancer, I felt that I shouldn’t delay it anymore. I would play him what I learned and he helped me practice with his own guitar. He left that guitar to me when he died, and now playing it makes me feel connected to him.
