Ⅳ. 阅读理解
(A)
It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(杂货店), saving us from having to walk a long distance from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his
job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性)as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows
that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
1. Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A. The man’s job was bike racing.
B. It was their only possession.
C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.
D. They used it for work and daily life.
【解析】选D。

细节理解题。

文章第二段描述了自行车对于他们家庭的重要性; 丈夫骑它去上班来养活家庭, 还要用它去买杂货, 所以选D项。

2. We can infer from the text that_________.
A. the couple worked 60 hours a week
B. people were busy before Christmas
C. the stranger brought over the bike
D. life was hard for the young family
【解析】选D。

推理判断题。

选项A错误在于只有丈夫骑车每周60小时的工作, 而非他们夫妇俩人; 文章没有提到人们圣诞节前的忙碌, 至于文中的“warming up their cars”指“热车”准备上班, 排除B项。

好心人买了车让我丈夫去“pick it up”而非送了过来, 所以排除C项; 而从作者自述：The bike. . . was our only transport. , 上下班, 买杂货都要靠它; 人们都热车准备上班, 自己的丈夫却had to get up early to ride his bike. . . , 由此推断D选项正确。

3. How did people get to know the couple’s problem?
A. From radio broadcasts.
B. From a newspaper.
C. From TV news.
D. From a stranger.
【解析】选B。

细节事实题。

文章第三段首句提到. . . I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. 可推断选B。

4. What do the couple learn from their experience?
A. Strangers are usually of little help.
B. One should take care of his bike.
C. News reports make people famous.
D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.
【解析】选D。

推理判断题。

文章在记述了自己家人的经历后, 谈到了自己的体会(最末段), 字里行间的
词语, 如strengthened our faith in humanity, mindful, kindness, cares, everlasting等, 体现了作者的感受。

选项A与文章内容不符; B、C是属于与文章主题不相关之事, 所以均被排除。

(B)
The meaning of the word “volunteer ” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services. ” There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage(垃圾) from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate t han themselves. Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.
At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’ s homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.
“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school. We watched a video(录像) about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks. ”
“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture(文化) that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world. ”
【文章大意】本文属于社会生活类文章。

“志愿者”一词在不同的国家意思可能稍有不同, 但通常都是指那些愿意向别人提供帮助的人。

Tracy最近从印度回来, 对“志愿者”一词有了新的理解, 那就是志愿者在帮助别人的同时, 也提高了自己。

5. According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who________.
A. is willing to help those in need without pay
B. can afford to travel to different places
C. has a strong wish to be successful
D. has made a big fortune in life
【解析】选A。

细节理解题。

从文章第一段最后两句“They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay. ”可知, 志愿者是自愿帮助那些有困难的人, 而且他们是没有报酬的, 故A项正确。

文章中并没有说志愿者能负担得起去各地旅行的费用, 没有说志愿者非常渴望成功, 也没有提志愿者是发了财的人, 因此B、C、D 三项都是错误的。

6. Tracy started her work as a volunteer________.
A. after she met Mother Teresa
B. after she finished high school
C. when she was touring Calcutta
D. when she was working in a hospital
【解析】选B。

细节理解题。

从文章第三段最后两句可知, Tracy 是在中学毕业后去加尔各答从事志愿者工作的。

7. Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer?
A. She liked to work with Mother Teresa.
B. She had already had some experience.
C. She was asked by Mother Teresa to do so.
D. She wanted to follow Mother Teresa’s example.
【解析】选D。

推理判断题。

从文章第三段可知, Mother Teresa 的事迹深深地打动了Tracy, 以至于Tracy 打算毕业后也想从事Mother Teresa 那样的工作。

由此可知, Tracy 决定当志愿者的原因是她想以Mother Teresa 为榜样。

8. What is Tracy’s “new idea” (Paragraph 2) of being a volunteer?
A. Going abroad to help the sick.
B. Working in Mother Teresa’s home.
C. Doing simple things to help the poor.
D. Improving oneself through helping others.
【解析】选D。

细节理解题。

从文章最后一段最后一句可知, Tracy 认识到帮助别人的同时也提高了自己。

Ⅲ. 任务型读写
请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格中填入最适当的单词。

每空格1个单词。

Many people believe they are supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day, or about two liters. Why? Because that is what they have been told all their life. But a recent report offers some different advice. Experts suggest people should obey their bodies: they should drink as much water as they feel like drinking.
The report says most healthy people meet their daily needs for liquid by letting thirst be their guide. The report is from the Institute of Medicine, which provides scientific and technical advice to the government and the public. The report contains some general suggestions. It says women should get about 2.7 liters of water daily and men about 3.7 liters. But wait—in each case, that is more than eight glasses.
There is one important difference. The report does not tell people how many glasses of water are needed to meet these guidelines. This is because the daily water requirement can include the water content in foods.
As you might expect, the Institute of Medicine says people need to drink more water when they are physically active. The same is true of those who live in hot climates. Depending on heat and activity, people could need twice as much water as others do.
All this, however, does not answer one question. No one seems sure why people have the idea that good health requires eight glasses of water daily. It may have started with a misunderstanding.
