Among us was a small, grey man, a regular passenger who silently boarded the bus each morning, heading to the senior center. He moved with a stoop (弯腰), his face marked with sadness, unnoticed by the rest of us.
One July morning, he greeted the driver and smiled at us, a gesture met with cautious acknowledgment from the driver and silence from the rest. The following day, he boarded with renewed energy, greeting us all warmly. Shocked, some of us responded in kind, and over time, we began to acknowledge each other more.
The old man, now in a neat suit and tie, with his hair carefully combed , became a daily source of greeting. One morning, he surprised us with a bouquet of wildflowers, slightly wilted from the heat. The driver, with a smile, teased him about having a girlfriend, to which he shyly confirmed. The bus erupted in cheers and applause, and Charlie, our old man, took a bow before sitting down. From then on, Charlie brought flowers every day, and some of us started to contribute to his bouquet, shyly offering them to him. The atmosphere on the bus transformed; men began to joke, chat, and share the newspaper.
As autumn approached, Charlie missed his stop one morning, and his absence continued for several days, prompting concern. Upon reaching the senior center, we learned that he was fine but had lost a close friend and was expected back on Monday. The bus ride back was filled with a quiet silence.
The following Monday, Charlie was there, a bit more stooped, his hair a touch grayer, and without his tie. The bus was quiet, like a church, as we, who had been touched by his presence that summer, sat with tears in our eyes and wildflowers in our hands, a silent tribute to our friend Charlie.
(1)、What was the initial reaction of the bus passengers to the old man's greeting?A、They ignored him completely. B、They greeted him back enthusiastically. C、They cautiously acknowledged his gesture. D、They responded with laughter and applause.(2)、What did Charlie bring onto the bus one morning that astonished everyone?A、A bouquet of fresh roses. B、A box of chocolates for the driver. C、A bouquet of slightly wilted wildflowers. D、A newspaper to share with the passengers.(3)、What can be inferred about the change in the bus atmosphere from Paragraph 3?A、The bus became a place for political debates. B、The passengers became more reserved and quieter. C、The bus was filled with complaints about the flowers. D、The passengers started to interact more with each other.(4)、What is the author's attitude towards Charlie at the end of the story?A、The author feels proud of the bond with Charlie. B、The author is frustrated by the change Charlie made. C、The author questions the need for Charlie's influence. D、The author seems uninterested in Charlie's experiences.13. 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。By Global Times Published: May 13, 2024 09: 39 PM

No matter what you're doing right now—sitting, standing, walking—you're moving.
Specifically, you're moving at least four different ways. First, the Earth is turning very fast while it's in space, going about 1,000 miles per hour, or 1,600 kilometers per hour. This turning makes our days and nights. Next, the Earth and the other planets are going around the sun. We move at about 67, 000 miles per hour, or 108;000 kilometers per hour. This movement makes our seasons and years. Also, the sun and everything around it is going around the middle of our galaxy(星系), the Milky Way, really fast, over 500,000 miles per hour, or 828,000 kilometers per hour. Plus, everything in the universe is always getting bigger as it spreads out.
But a long time ago, in the 1970s, space experts saw that something was different about the galaxies close to us, called the Local Group. These galaxies were being pulled away from their normal path really fast, towards something we couldn't see. They named this place the Great Attractor, but it's hard to learn more about it because we can't see it well.
"The Milky Way has so many stars and dust, which hides the information we want to see in that direction. So our galaxy is hiding the Great Attractor," says Jorge Moreno, a space expert at a college. This place we can't see is called the Zone of Avoidance by people who study space. We still don't know everything about why the Milky Way and the other galaxies are being pulled off course, but there have been some ideas. The newest idea is a very big group of galaxies called Laniakea, which means "big sky" in Hawaiian. Want to know more about space secrets? Send us an email at shortwave@ npr. org.
(1)、What causes the Earth's days and nights according to the article?A、The expansion of the universe. B、The Earth's turning around itself. C、The Earth's orbit around the sun. D、The Earth's turning around the Milky Way.(2)、What does "Zone of Avoidance" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A、A galaxy-free space. B、A hidden part of the sky. C、The speed of galaxy movement. D、The cause of galaxy attraction.(3)、What can be inferred about the Great Attractor from the information provided?A、It is visible with the naked eyes. B、It is located somewhere within the Milky Way. C、It is a large object affecting the motion of nearby galaxies. D、It is known to be a single galaxy which pulls on other galaxies around it.(4)、Where might this article have been published?A、A cooking blog. B、A fashion magazine. C、A gardening enthusiast's journal. D、A public radio program's website.四、第二节 (共5 小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分

19. 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。
This is an unforgettable experience which impressed me most. I'd name it " A Taxi Ride I'll Never Forget". Here comes the story.
About ten years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at2: 30 am, when I arrived to collect, the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. Often, many drivers would just honk (按喇叭) once or twice, wait a short minute, then drive away.
But I had seen too many needy people who depended on taxis as their only means of transportation. Unless a real danger, I always went to the door to collect the passenger. It might be someone who needed my assistance. Would I not want a driver to do the same if my father or mother had called for a taxi?
So I walked to the door and knocked. "Just a minute", answered a weak and elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor. After a long wait, the door opened. A small woman in her 80's stood before me. Wearing a long dress and a black hat, she looked like somebody out of a 1940s movie.
By her side was a small suitcase. "Would you carry my bag out to the car?" she said. I took the suitcase to the taxi, then returned to assist the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the taxi.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It's nothing", I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated."
"Oh, you're such a good man," she said. When we got in the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, "Could you drive through downtown?"
"It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly.
"Oh, I don't mind," she said, "I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to a hospice (临终医院)."
I looked in the rear-view mirror (后视镜). Her eyes were shining with tears. "I don't have any family left," she continued. "The doctor says I don't have very long." I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (里程器). "What route would you like me to take?" I asked.
注意:1)写作词数应为150 左右;
2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
For the next two hours, we drove through the city.
"How much do I owe you?" she asked , reaching into her purse.
