Steep(陡峭的) steps and rough (崎岖的)paths make the trip a challenge. It used to be nearly impossible for people with a physical disability.Wheel the World has changed that. The Company offers wheelchair(轮椅)-accessible(无障碍的) tours of Machu Picchu and other places around the world. "Normally, people with disabilities would think that these kinds of places are not possible for them," Camilo Navarro told reporters. He set up Wheel the World with his best friend, Alvaro Silberstein. Silberstein uses a wheelchair.Navarro and Silberstein started Wheel the World aider hiking Torres del Paine in 2016. It is a national park in Chile. Silberstein was the first person to travel to the park in a wheelchair. "Our story went popular," he says. "We started receiving hundreds of requests, from people wanting to repeat this trip."Today, Wheel the World runs 40 wheelchair-accessible trips in five countries. The company offers cars and hotels with ramps(斜坡). It directs people to accessible bathrooms. It even teaches local guides to help wheelchair users get around.Wheel the World uses a special wheelchair for the Machu Picchu trip. It can be pushed like a wheelbarrow(独轮手推车). It also folds(折叠) up and fits easily into a car. "It's a super strong wheelchair. It allows you to get to every corner in all kinds of places," Navarro says. "Wherever somebody with a disability wants to go, we can get there with that wheelchair."Wheel the World hopes to give people with disabilities the same opportunities as everyone else. "The world hasn't been planned for people with a disability," Navarro says. "It's important to build a fairer and better world."26.What is "Wheel the World" in the passage?A. A company.B.

Great WheelbarrowC"Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person's life for the better, which makes everyone a better person," Mason, a volunteer said.National Volunteer Week started in 1943 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements(成就). It is also a perfect opportunity (机会) to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization's expectations(期望). Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.The following tips can help if you have some of these worries:★Start out slowly, and don't add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone's life.★Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.★Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.★Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot, and he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization's expectations.★Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.★Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn't work, don't give up and you'll surely find the right opportunity.Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people's lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, "…li ttle things can change a person's life."31.

Dunant thought they should be cared for. A Swiss organization used his idea in 1863. When the organization became international, it was named the International Committee of the Red Cross.ICRC's emblem(徽章) is a red cross on a white ground(底子). People use it as a sign for army doctors. There are ICRC offices in many countries around the world now. 13,000 ICRC workers are helping people in more than 80 countries.In China, there is an organization named the Red Cross Society of China. It is part of ICRC. It started in 1904.Most of the people in the Red Cross Society of China are either full-time workers or volunteers.

The group did helpful things like cleaning the streets, taking care of the old and the disabled and helping to direct traffic. The first thing Ye did was to clean snow from the streets after a heavy snow.“48.Helping others really makes me happy,” Ye said.There were about 100 middle school students in Ye’s group. They did all kinds of things to help others.Ye Jing, another middle school student, has been looking after a disabled woman for two years. She started that before she joined the group. She did housework for the woman twice a month.People in China remember the spirit of Lei Feng, but what is it? Do you have to join a group to be a part of it? Sun Maofang has a good answer. Sun, who lives in Beijing, is one of China’s famous Lei Feng Models, and he has been helping others for forty years.“Always being ready to care for others is an important part of the spirit of Lei Feng. 49.It is never out of date,”Sun said.Sun also said you could even learn from Lei Feng by doing small things.“For example, love your parents and teachers; try to help your deskmate with his studies if you can.”46.Which is the month for remembering Lei Feng by helping others?47.What is the important part of the spirit of Lei Feng?将短文中画线的部分译成汉语(48~49)48. _________________________________________________________________________________49. _________________________________________________________________________________50.请给短文拟一个适当的英文标题Ⅷ.词汇运用A.根据句意及首字母提示完成单词51.Lucy and Lily are twins, so they are s in many ways.52.My car is broken.

According to chocolate makers it could happen if we don’t act soon.There are two main causes of the chocolate shortage --- chocolate’s growing popularity and less production of cocoa, the plant from which chocolate is made. With more and more people in India and China loving chocolate, not much can be done about the first cause.Therefore, the only thing we can do is to increase cocoa production. However, new plant diseases and little rain in Ivory Coast and Ghana, the world’s largest producers, have reduced cocoa production by 40 percent in the past 10 years. What’s worse, many cocoa farmers in Africa and other cocoa-producing countries like Indonesia and Venezuela are changing to easier-to-grow crops such as corn or rubber. This way, the farmers can make more money.To prevent more farmers from changing, researcher s at the newly opened International Cocoa Control Centre, in the UK, are trying to create new cocoa plants that are stronger and faster growing. But first they must make sure the new plants are safe to grow. This takes a long time.密 封 线 内 不 要 答 题First, each new plant is stored at the Control Centre for six months to make sure it is healthy. It is then planted in the Centre’s fields, studie d and tested for another two years. Only after scientists are certain that they’re disease -free, will the plants be sent to farmers in West Africa or wherever else they are needed.To create new stronger types of cocoa, scientists at the Centre are combining the best parts from different cocoa plants. Though the world is facing a serious chocolate shortage, there is now hope!16. The first paragraph tells us that______. A. chocolate is healthier than vegetables B. the world could soon be without chocolate C. people love vegetables more than chocolate17. In which countries has chocolate become more popular in recent years? A. Venezuela and Indonesia. B. Ivory Coast and Ghana. C. China and India.18. Cocoa farmers are choosing to grow rubber and corn because these crops______. A. can make them more money B. need less rain to growC. can be planted more times each year19. How long does it take scientists at the Centre to make sure a cocoa plant is safe to grow?A. 6 months.B. 12 months.C. 30 months.20. What is one of the purposes of the Cocoa Control Centre? A. To introduce cocoa production to more countries. B. To provide more chocolate for British people. C. To produce stronger types of cocoa plants.BAlmost every child like sweet things ,such as candies, chocolate, ice cream and desserts .But do you know there is a holiday called Sweetest Day in the USA? Does it mean people can eat lot s of sweets on that day?Sweetest Day is a popular holiday for Americans .People celebrate it on the third Saturday in October .On that day ,people show their love to the elderly ,children,.their good friends or anyone else they want to help .Orphans (孤儿) and patients can a1os enjoy people’s greetings .In fact ,anyone may get a gift on that day .It is just a day t hat offers people a chance to show their 1ove and care to others .How did the holiday originate (起源) ?
