Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
As a preteen in New York，Whitney Johnson volunteered at soup kitchens and delivered clothes to the homeless.While at college，she started an English－language tutoring program for immigrant children.No one was surprised，then，when she chose to volunteer in an orphanage in Khayelitsha，one of South Africa’s poorest areas，during her junior year abroad.
At the orphanage，Johnson discovered most of the children infected with HIV at birth，many abandoned by parents too sick to care for them，or neglected by surviving relatives.Few were receiving the care needed to stay healthy.Many died.When she left，all she wanted to do was go back and change what she had seen.
After graduation，Johnson began a fund－raising effort that eventually collected enough money to found UBA，a nonprofit organization intended to provide services for HIV－positive(阳性的)kids aged 4 to 18 in Khayelitsha.Now UBA is housed in a church big enough for offices and the children.The staff includes counselors(咨询师)，a social worker，a nurse，a cook，and a handful of volunteers，ensuring that each child has access to proper care，a free healthy meal，and emotional support.Once a week，she makes sure the children receive age－appropriate lessons about AIDS.The social worker sees to it that the kids are enrolled(注册)in school and have safe living conditions－especially those without parents.
Johnson plans to soon relocate UBA to an even larger location with more medical staff and a field“so the kids can run around and just feel like kids.”She’s also working with the South African Department of Health so that the new center can distribute drugs and give blood tests.
“Many people think that HIV means death，but it doesn’t，”Johnson
says.“There’s so much that can be done.”In the five years since the center opened，not one of the 200 kids in the program has died.“It’s so emotional to see the strong，independent people they become.”One teenage girl who had received help at UBA even announced that she wanted to become a nurse.

A．A kind girl caring for children with HIV.
B．A poor area stricken by poverty and disease.

A music festival is a festival determined towards music that is sometimes presented with a theme such as musical type，nationality or locality of musicians，or holiday.They are commonly held outdoors，and are often inclusive of other attractions such as food and merchandise vendors(卖主)，performance art，and social activities.The Pythian Games at Delphi included musical performances，and may be one of the earliest festivals known.During the Middle Ages festivals were often held as competitions.
Many festivals are annual，or repeat at regular interval.Some，including many rock festivals，are held only once.Some festivals are organized as for－profit concerts and others are benefits for a specific cause.
Another type of music festival is the educative type，organized annually in local communities，regionally or nationally，for the benefit of amateur musicians of all ages and grades of achievement.While entrants(参加竞赛者) perform prepared pieces
in the presence of an audience which includes competitors，the essential feature of this type of festival is that each participant receives verbal and written feedback(反馈)，there and then，from a highly qualified，professional adjudicator(判决者)—someone who they might never meet in any other way.They also usually receive a certificate，classified according to merit，and some may win trophies.The competitive element is often played down，however，as the important aspect is that participants can learn from one another.
Such festivals aim to provide a friendly and supportive platform for musicians to share in the excitement of making music.For many they provide a bridge between lessons & examinations and performing confidently in public.
5．What is TRUE about a music festival?
A．It must be performed with a theme once a year.
B．A common music festival is held outdoors.
C．Some may not only include musical performances.

6．解析：选B。

句意：我们大家仍都记得几年前侵袭四川的那次可怕的地震。

表示自然灾害“侵害”了某地，我们可以用hit或strike，但不可以用attack或knock。

12．解析：选A。

考查die短语的用法。

句意：如果我们不采取措施保护这种植物，它将很快就灭绝。

die out“灭绝，消失”，符合语境。

die down“(风、雨等)减弱，平息”；die from/of“死于”。

句意：你知道我现在的处境，那我就开门见山了。

由句意知，B 项正确。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
[解题导语] 本文介绍了Whitney Johnson从十几岁就积极参加志愿者活动，毕业后帮助染上HIV的孩子，并取得了很大成就。

1．解析：选A。

主旨大意题。

根据文章内容可知，Whitney Johnson从十几岁起至上大学期间就积极参加志愿者活动。

国外留学毕业后回到非洲，筹款成立UBA，帮助染上HIV 的孩子，并取得了很大成就。

因此正确选项为A。

其余选项均为文中局部信息。

2．解析：选D。

细节理解题。

根据文章第二段最后“When she left，all she wanted to do was go back and change what she had seen.”和第三段开头“After graduation，Jo hnson began a fund­raising effort that eventually collected enough money to found UBA”可知，她留学毕业后筹款成立了UBA机构。

因此正确选项为D。

3．解析：选D。

理解判断题。

根据文章第一段“As a preteen in New York，Whitney Johnson volunteered at soup kitchens and delivered clothes to the homeless.”可知Johnson从十几岁起就积极参加志愿者活动。

因此正确选项为D。

4．解析：选B。

细节理解题。

根据文章第一段的信息：Johnson在非洲留学第一年时在南非最穷的地方之一Khayelitsha的一个孤儿院做志愿者工作，第二段“When she left，all she wanted to do was go back and change what she had seen.”第三段“After graduation，Johnson began a fund­raising effort that eventually collected enough money to found UBA...Now UBA is housed in a church big enough for offices and the children.”等信息可以推知UBA的地点就在南非。

因此正确选项为B。

B
[解题导语] 本文主要讲了有关音乐节的一些情况。

5．解析：选C。

正误判断题。

根据第一段的第二句“...and are often inclusive of other attractions...”可知，音乐节不仅包括音乐表演。

A项错在不一定“一年举办一次”；B项错在“A common music festival”(公共的音乐会)；D项错在最早的不一定在中世纪。

6．解析：选D。

细节理解题。

在一、二段中不难找出A、B、C的根据，而D项译成“搬岩石比赛”，与原文的“rock festivals” (摇滚音乐节)不符，且也不是举办的目的。

7．解析：选C。

细节判断题。

从第三段可找出A、B、D的根据所在。

在第三段第一句后半句提到：对各个年龄段和不同成就的业余音乐家有益，并非各种各样的音乐家，所以C 项是偷换了概念。

8．解析：选A。

细节理解题。

从第三段最后一句可知：最重要的因素是参加者可以互相学习，即从竞争中互相受益，所以A项符合。

其余三项本段也都提到，但不是“最重要的意义”。
