Quickly, however, I noticed how nice and helpful everyone was to us. The guest house we stayed in was full of people willing to help. The other two volunteers also helped to calm my nerves about being in India so far away from my home. After the first few days I was eager to get to Bal Ashram.Upon getting to Bal Ashram, I was able to meet the boys, who called Bal Ashram their home. The center itself helps to rescue boys from child labor in various areas of India and give them a jump－start into education for free where they will then return to their families and continue their education. They are taught that without education there can be no future. Through education, Bal Ashram also builds a sense of community which can be seen with everyone who works and is taught here. Teaching English here to the children gave me great pride in knowing that these children would be helped within their own experiences here at Bal Ashram and their future lives. Each child was always willing to learn more.Boys there were always seen laughing. Afternoon sports and nightly social events, including dancing, were just one of the many highlights with me and the children. Even my inner life was enriched, let alone theirs. Living in Bal Ashram also gaveus a first hand view of village life in India as well as the culture and religion that surrounds this country.My time spent at Bal Ashram was one I will never forget. Through the simplicity and life of the people and the children who are full of innocence and joy, I have taken with me so much more than when I arrived.21.Why did the author come to India?A.To learn about Indian culture and religion.B.To learn about the life in Indian villages.C.To work as a volunteer English teacher.D.To rescue Indian boys from hard labor.22.What did the author suffer from most while staying in India?A. Unfair treatment by other volunteers.B.Hot weather.munication barriers.D.Culture and religion differences.23.According to the text, what is Bal Ashram?A A small town where the author stayed.B.A host family that offering accommodationC.An educational and service organization.D.Annconmmumity for poor children in Indian.24.The boys the author communicated with were ________.A.uninterested in educationB.optimistic and in high spiritsC.unable to forget their sufferingsD.out of touch with their parentsBEvery year more people recognize that it is wrong to kill wildlife for “sports”.Progress in this direction is slow because shooting is not a sport for watching, and only those few who take part realize the cruelty and destruction.The number of gunners, however, grows rapidly. Children too young to develop proper judgments through independent thought are led along way away by their gunning parents. They are subjected to advertisements of gun producers who describe shootingas good for their health and guncarrying as a way of putting redder blood in the veins. They are persuaded by gunner magazines with stories honoring the chase and the kill. In school they view motion pictures which are supposedly meant to teach them how to deal with arms safely but which are actually designed to stimulate a desire to own a gun. Wildlife is disappearing because of shooting and because of the loss of wildland habitat. Habitat loss willcontinue with our increasing population, but can we slow the loss of wildlife caused by shooting? There doesn't seem to be any chance if the serious condition of our birds is not improved.Wildlife belongs to everyone and not to the gunners alone. Although most people do not shoot, they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or nothing about it. The only answer, then, is to bring the truth about sport shooting to the great majority of people.Now, it is time to realize that animals have the same right to life as we do and that there is nothing fair or right about a person with a gun shooting the harmless and beautiful creatures. The gunners like to describe what they do ascharacter-building, but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through theagony of dying can make nobody happy. If, as they would have you believe,gun-carrying and killing improve human- character, then perhaps we should encourage war.25.According to the text, most people do not seem to be against hunting because _____.A. it is too costly to stop killing wildlifeB. it helps to build human characterC. they have little knowledge of itD. they want to keep wildlife under control26.. The underlined word "agony" in the last paragraph probably means _____.A. formB. conditionC. painD. sadness27. According to the text, the films children watch at school actually _____.A. teach them how to deal with guns safelyB. praise hunting as character-buildingC. describe hunting as an exerciseD. encourage them to have guns of their own28. It can be inferred from the text that the author seems to _____.A.worry about the existence of wildlifeB.blame the majority of peopleC.be in favour of warD.be in support of character-buildingCHow much empathy（共鸣）do you feel towards otherpeople? If you saw someone fall off their bike in traffic，would you stop and help—or just walk away? Many people would give i n to coldness，go about their business and just do nothing.So it was a big surprise when about 100 bystanders got together recently to move a bus in east London to help a cyclist trapped under it.A video of the inci dent went viral on social media.According to Zoheb，a driver who stopped his car to take part in the rescue，about five people gathered to move the bus.He says：“There was no chance we could do it，it was more an invitation for other people to help，really.”The initiative(主动权)paid off.Diners from nearby restaurants joined in.There wasn’t much coordination but it didn’t take long to develop a collective unders tanding of what the objective was. Spontaneouscooperation among strangers doesn’t happen often.People in a crowd a re not sure what to do—they don’t have a plan.It’s one of the re asons bystanders often do nothing，according to Dr Mark Levine，professor of social psychology at Exeter University in Britain.“The pr esence of others can prevent you from helping”，he says.The key to positive group behavior，Levine explains，“is building a sense of shared identity”.Action has to be decided q uickly，Levine says.“The longer you leave it，the harder it is to make a decision.If you don’t immediately act th en you kind of think‘Well，actually I probably couldn’t have done anything anyway’.”But the people who took the initiative like Zoheb might make a d ifference.The cyclist ended up in hospital and the images of the coll ective effort might inspire others to more acts of unity.29.Why did the author say it was a big surprise when the rescue wasmade?A.So many people gave a hand.B.Many bystanders did nothing.C.It spread on social media.D.It didn’t catch people’s attention.30.Which of the following best describes the driver Zoheb according tothe text?A.Generous.B.Kind-hearted.C.Optimistic.D.Easy-going.31.According to Levine,why do people give in to coldness when they should be helping?A.They are forbidden from helpingB.Nobody wants to be the first to offer helpC.They don’t know how to give first aidD.Strangers seldom cooperate with each other32.We can learn from the passage that .A.collectives effort is inspiringB.it’s not necessary to make a quick decisionC.it’s impos sible for strangers to cooperateD.the sense of shared identity makes no differenceDEnvironment psychology is a field of science that looks at the ways in which we are affected by our surroundings.Almost every aspect of the built environment,from the color of hospital walls to the type of grass used parks,can have a good effect on crime health,education,business and happiness.Here are examples of how psychologist are tearing up with designers to build spaces that are safer and healthier.Classic trickIn the mid-nineties in Montreal,it was discovered that playing classic music through the public address system would drive away cowds of had teenagers and cut crime.The idea soon caught on.Now classical music is played over sixty underground station in London.Stop signsSometimes less more-towns such as Bohmte in Germany found that the best way to show down traffic is to remove all road signs and markings.Without theseguides,drivers have to slow down and think about how to share of way with other drivers,eyelist and pedstrians.Taking away attentionResearchers in Manchester found that pickpockets took advantages of pedestrians whose attention was taken away by confusing environment.By removing what diverts pedestrians attention and making spaces easier to navigate are more aware of their surroundings less likely to fall victim to crime.Delay stressCommuting（上下班）long distance isn’t necessary stressful,but delays are.A study of rail commuters found highest levels of stress hormone contisol among those who considered their journey as unpredictable Real-time transport update,such as a text message sent to your phone letting you know exactly when the next bus will arrive,have been found to reduce stress.33.Why is classical music played in underground stations in London?A.To entertain passgngersB.To reduce tirednessC.To slow down trafficD.To prevent crimes34.How can we reduce stress from long distance communte?A.By texting to friends the tripB.By cutting journey timeC.By keeping passengers updatedD.By expressing for delays35.What type of writing is this text?A.An advertisementB.An academic reviewC.Tourist informationD.A popular science article第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
