【题目】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 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 than 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 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 that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”
【1】According to the passage, 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
【2】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
【3】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’s example.
D.She wanted to follow Mother Teresa’s example.
【4】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.
【答案】

【题目】阅读理解。
When the Japanese attacked America’s ships at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941,they did it secretly.The makers of the movie Pearl Harbor have behaved differently.
The noise about Pearl Harbor,made by Disney,has reached its highest point with its premiere(首次公演) before the movie opens in cinemas across the US at the start of the Memorial Day holiday weekend,a time to recall national heroes who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield.
As Ben Affleck is the main star,the movie seems sure to become a success in the United States at least.
At almost three hours in length,it promises to be a good old Hollywood movie.There is a love story.Affleck and his co-star,Josh Hartnett,both fall in love with the navy nurse,Kate Beckinsale and,of course,there is much human courage and love of country.
It’s certain that Disney will be accused of “changing” history.The showing of actual events in a movie always causes arguments.
Bits of the story are deliberately not mentioned in the movie.It does not address the theory held by some historians that President Franklin Roosevelt knew about Japan’s intention to attack the ships in Pearl Harbor.It is said he did nothing,as he was aware that such a blow would allow him to take America into the Second World War.
Japan remains sensitive about being accused of wartime atrocities(暴行).And Disney is sensitive about its business in Japan,where it has a theme park.
Not all the reviews of the movie have been full of praise.A reviewer for Newsweek,who was given an early preview,acknowledged that the 40-minute sequence(连续镜头) showing the attack itself was powerful.The attack comes quite late in the movie,however,and the reviewer was less impressed with the characters and the love story.
“Almost every line of the dialogue sounds like it comes from an old movie,” the reviewer wrote.
【1】From the passage we can infer that the Memorial Day refers to .
A.the day when the United States was founded
B.the day when people honour their ancestors
C.a day when people honour those who died in wars
D.a day when people celebrate the victories of World War Ⅱ
【2】From the passage we know that Ben Affleck .
A.may be a very popular movie star
B.regarded Josh Hartnett as an enemy
C.experienced the Pearl Harbor Incident
D.was in love with the actress Kate Beckinsale
【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE about Pearl Harbor?
A.The movie has made the Japanese angry.
B.The movie will cause a lot of arguments.
C.The movie truly describes the Pearl Harbor Incident.
D.The movie shows that President Franklin Roosevelt knew about Japan’s intention.
【4】According to the passage,what does the reviewer for Newsweek think of the movie?
A.The scenes of the attack leave no impression.
B.The dialogue in the movie is original and creative.
C.The characters and the love story are less attractive.
D.The attack scenes occupy too much time of the movie.

【题目】We were on the way from Hutchinson to Chicago for a short spring break. For many years I had wanted to take my family on the train. We all had been to Chicago four years ago, and the kids loved it. Chicago is one of my favorite cities, too, so the thought struck me again last fall to ride the train to Chicago. Of course, flying would have been faster. But I don’t think flying is easier, especially these days, with all the security and waiting in lines at airports.
Though we were tired in the middle of the night, the kids got on the train with the exhilaration of this adventure. “We’re moving,” my son William shouted happily with big eyes as the train began to pull away from the Hutchinson station.
I removed my shoes and lay down to try to finish my night’s sleep. The sleeper car would have better enabled that, but the ordinary train seats were not too bad. An airline flight is a harder experience for me: not enough room, two hours of pain with my knees almost touching my mouth. On the train I could almost outstretch all of my 6-foot-2-plus body in the generous legroom.
The journey didn’t feel at all as long as it was. We all found the train ride a joy. The car ride would have felt every minute of 13 hours. But on the train you are free to walk around, sit in the observation carriage for a while and enjoy the scenery out the windows, have a nice meal in the dining car, read a book, or play a board game.
In short, the train is all about enjoying the trip, which isn’t something I do so much when traveling by airline or by car, when the trip seems more of a mission (任务) to get there than an experience to enjoy along the way.
Chicago offers much to do for a family. This time, getting there was half the fun.
【1】We can learn from the first paragraph that _____.
A. the kids love the train journey
B. it was the first time that the kids were taken on the train
C. the author didn’t enjoy the long train journey
D. Chicago is one of the kid’s favorite cities
【2】What does the underlined word “exhilaration” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Tiredness. B. Relaxation.
C. Excitement. D. Worry.
【3】In the third paragraph, an airline flight experience is mentioned to show _____.
A. a train ride is more comfortable
B. a train ride is too long
C. an airline flight is miserable
D. an airline flight is easier
【4】Which of the following words best describes the whole family’s feeling about the train journey?
A. Moved. B. Nervous.
C. Disappointed. D. Delighted.

【题目】阅读理解。
Every spring Beijing is choked by huge sandstorms.The sky turns a strange and frightening yellow colour as clouds of sand sweep down from the deserts of Mongolia and north-western China.Strong winds blow up the dust and cover everything in sight—in 2006,a storm dumped 330,000 tonnes of dust on Beijing in one night.
The number of sandstorms has grown alarmingly over the years as the deserts have expanded.This is partly man-made and partly because of climate(气候).Many grasslands have been overgrazed(过度放牧)by sheep and goats,or ploughed up,leaving the soil dangerously exposed.Too much water has been taken out of rivers,and the situation is made worse by increasingly long-lasting droughts that have affected the northern half of China as the climate grows warmer and drier.The result is probably the worst loss of rich land to deserts in the world and a dust bowl of extremely large proportions.The nearest sand dunes to Beijing are now only 70 km away and drifting closer each year.At this rate,the desert will reach the city by 2040,and Beijing could become the world’s first modern city to disappear under sand.To hold back the deserts,a huge programme of forest planting called the Great Green Wall has been under way for over 30 years.The barrier(隔离带)is planned to be 4,500 km long when completed in several decades(十年),but the drought is having a very bad effect on the trees and the deserts carry on growing.
【1】All the following are the reasons for the expansion of the deserts EXCEPT .
A.the soil of the grasslands is exposed
B.too much span>water in rivers has been used
C.it doesn’t rain for a long time
D.the climate in northern China is colder and drier
【2】At what speed do the nearest sand dunes move towards Beijing according to the passage?
A.More than 15 km a year.
B.More than 2 km a month.
C.More than 2 km a year.
D.More than 15 km a month.
【3】What is the purpose of the huge programme“the Great Green Wall”?
A.To protect the Great Wall.
B.To plant as many trees as possible along the Great Wall.
C.To stop the deserts from moving towards Beijing.
D.To plant as many trees as possible in Beijing.
【4】In which section can this passage most likely be found in a newspaper?
A.Science and technology.
B.Weather.
C.Environment.
D.Health and life.
