B 100-year-old Alfred Larson has been through a lot in his lifetime, but one thing that keeps him going is bluebirds. When Alfred retired in 1978, he wanted to find a hobby or something to do that would keep him busy and provide him with a sense of purpose. When he read a National Geographic article about crafting wooden nest boxes for bluebirds to help improve their populations, he decided to give it a try. Alfred explained that he started building nest boxes on his ranch (大牧场) using left-over pieces of wood. More than four decades later, Alfred is still going strong and promoting bluebird conservation efforts. Alfred is now monitoring nearly 350 nest boxes on six different trails (小路) in Southwest Idaho. He said, “I settled on a simple design that was easy to build and easy to monitor. I kept adding more boxes on these trails, and these birds responded.” Alfred’s boxes give bluebirds a lot of help in survival. “Without his work, we can’t see so many bluebirds now,” said Pearman, the author of Mountain Bluebird Trail Monitoring Guide. To celebrate his achievements, filmmaker Matthew Podolsky worked with Alfred for weeks to create a 30-minute documentary—Bluebird Man. The film explores how everything led him to the work he does today and his efforts in bluebird protection. “I remember the first trip I took to the bluebird trail with Alfred, and I was very surprised by the speed with which he moved from box to box,” said Podolsky. “He was hiking across difficult and uneven terrain (地形). I often struggled to keep up with him. Sometimes we’d check more than 100 boxes and be driving home in the dark.” The impact he’s had on the populations of bluebirds in North America will continue. 4. How did Alfred help save bluebirds? A By feeding them personally. B. By preventing illegal hunting. C. By making wooden nests for them. D. By writing articles about them. 5. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. The number of bluebirds in Southwest Idaho decreases. B. Alfred makes a big difference to bluebird conservation. C. Climate change is threatening the survival of bluebirds now. D. Alfred’s efforts have greatly inspired others to protect bluebirds. 6. What might be the documentary mainly about? A. How the natural habitat of bluebirds disappeared. B. How bluebirds have survived in the past four decades. C. What influence humans have on bluebirds. D. What Alfred does every day to protect bluebirds. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To praise Alfred’s contribution. B. To help people learn more about birds. C. To advise people to protect the environment. D. To show the living conditions of bluebirds. C Voluntourism — a new trend (趋势) of volunteer tourism Have you ever thought about going abroad to volunteer? Nowadays there’s a trend that more and more people are interested in volunteer tourism. Making a difference in a country less lucky than your own is seen by most as a really good thing to do. More and more volunteers are seeking meaning and a sense of purpose in life. “They use their skills to help on projects abroad, such as building hospitals, teaching English in schools, looking after children in orphanages (孤儿院), etc.” However, some people are against this so-called “voluntourism”. Volunteers take away jobs from locals who would have otherwise done that work. Yes, sometimes volunteers have specific knowledge which can benefit communities, such as IT skills or speaking English as a native language. But sometimes they are put to work on construction sites (建筑工地), for example, depriving (使失去) locals of a job on project. Besides, many young travelers are untrained for the role. This could become a health and safety problem on construction sites or when caring for children. I volunteered myself last year in a library and school in Ghana. I helped to reshelve books, talked to the librarian about the running of the library and played games with the children. However, I’m not an experienced teacher or librarian, and I felt like the locals were far too trusting of my opinions and decisions, just because I come from a more developed country. Furthermore, volunteer tourism is seen by some as just that-an industry, a way for companies to make money. About $2 billion was spent by volunteers in 2015.Surely it would be better if this money were directly given to places where it is needed the most. Instead, most of the money is going to tourism companies, while local communities only see a very small amount of it. I met some Danish girls who had paid €7,000 each to a company to volunteer at an orphanage, but very little was spent on the orphanage itself. I think volunteering abroad helps us develop as a person, and is a shining addition to a CV. Volunteer projects are usually very valuable for communities, but often good for those who take part in voluntary work just as much, if not more, as those they are helping. 8. What do we learn about volunteers working abroad? A. They have no safety problems. B. They may cause the locals out of job. C. They become less willing to be volunteers. D. They would like to work in richer countries. 9. Which statement is true according to the passage? A. Volunteer tourism has become an industry. B. Volunteers spend lots of money helping with the charity work. C. Some volunteer travelers are very experienced and suitable for the role. D. Volunteer tourism provides locals with more and more job opportunities. 10. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Voluntourism offers volunteers good jobs. B. Volunteering gives a lot to poor countries. C. Voluntourism brings volunteers advantages. D. The quality of volunteering needs improving. 11. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage? I：Introduction P：Point Sp：Sub-point (次要点) c：Conclusion A. B. C. D. D An economist, Adam Smith, famously wrote that “it is not from the benevolence (慈善)of the butcher, the brewer or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest.” Like Smith, many economists today believe that one’s self-interest is what drives competition and growth in market economies. Yet, in an increasingly interconnected society, it is even more crucial to have collaborative skills. Thus we should encourage cooperation to better prepare children for the future. Firstly, in the present age marked by the transformative potential of technology to facilitate interactions, cooperation is an especially prized soft skill to have. As a research study proves, soft skills such as good communication and empathy consist of qualitative indicators of outstanding employees as compared to technical skills or knowledge. In contrast, excessively (过分地)competitive and individualistic behaviour may fracture social relations in the community of co-workers and since no man is an island, even the most competent employee will not be able to pursue his goals effectively without the help of others who are able to share a common vision and understanding. Moreover, encouraging cooperation increase a healthy sense of self-esteem in children that better prepares them for the competitive working world. Many modern societies today are consumed by an obsessive drive for success and the pressure to perform has infiltrated both classrooms and offices alike. The consequences of the fierce competitive culture include higher rates of anxiety and depression among university students and office workers, which are all counterproductive. Teamwork can help a maturing individual realise that each has his or her own unique set of abilities to bring to the table and that another person’s strengths do not in any way diminish (降低)the value of his or her talents. Thus, cooperation can affirm the self-worth of children by correcting the violent insight that winning or paper achievement is an exclusive (唯一)measure of success in life. However, critics may claim that in a cutthroat world, adapting to competition should be of supreme priority in education and parenting. To achieve one’s deepest ambitions, such as to become a medical student, or to create a tech start-up, one has to adopt competition by actively fighting for opportunities and distinguishing oneself from others. Nevertheless, since passion can already stimulate children to work hard to fulfill their ambitions, the need to encourage competition may be at the end of the day. As much as external competition can drive people to pursue excellence, internal motivation is at least equally or arguably even more essential, and collaboration plays an instrumental role in helping one uncover one’s tendency and motivations. 12. What can be inferred from Adam Smith’s words? A. Our society is increasingly interconnected. B. Our dinner is made out of the regards to markets. C. Self-interest pushes the development of economies. D. The butcher, the brewer or the baker is not sympathy. 13. What does the underlined word “fracture” mean in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Deepen. B. Establish. C. Maintain. D. Damage. 14. Which of the following might the author agree with? A Paper achievement is an exclusive measure of success. B. Confidence and ambitions can be achieved through cooperation. C. Actively fighting for distinguishing oneself is a healthy competition. D. Competition is not essential for people to pursue excellence. 15. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage? A. To introduce parents the advantages of cooperation. B. To inform parents to balance cooperation and competition. C. To persuade parents to care about their children’s education. D. To tell parents to encourage their children to learn to cooperate. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 After Steve Jobs died, his friend Larry Ellison said something like this, “There will never be another Steve Jobs.”___16___ Larry wrote this list of Steve’s life lessons to remind us all.
