To her horror, every gum-tree and native plant was being roasted. The mountains, that were once serene, were now a blazing fire. Helplessly she watched, as the fire propelled by gale force winds, spread within minutes, from the forest behind their Aussie farm, and across the parched paddocks, towards them. Embers flew and sparked fires simultaneously across their land. Grandma’s hands shook as she dialed 000, and described the scene, unfolding like a nightmare all around her. A volunteer truck arrived to help, but their efforts were like a drop in a raging ocean. The forest roads were too dangerous to evacuate with the gale force winds. Bravely she rushed down the dirt road towards the dairy shed and the 1800’s first-settlers hut, but it was too late! The fire ignited the ancient wooden buildings and they simultaneously went up like atomic bombs. She was still in disbelief, when suddenly the glowing coral-hot vehicles nearby, exploded. She fled back up to the home, past pine trees and magnificent fig trees that were igniting. Embers, the size of arms, rained down on their porch. She frantically threw them off. The awful, smoky air was suffocating. Yet there was no time to stop. The fire raged and ripped through their entire farm, and for five hours they heroically defended it. Their terrified cattle, horses, sheep, and poultry ran frantically as the fences, cattle yard, and fowl pens combusted. It was agony watching everything they had built, being fiercely engulfed by flames. Together, they bravely hosed their 1930’s weatherboard home, as fire lapped from every surrounding tree like an inferno threatening to engulf them. Suddenly the hoses stopped providing water! “This is surely not possible!?” vexed Grandma. Up the hill, gazing past all the hazy smoke, she saw the two green tanks melting! Painful, they watched as the lifesaving water in the tanks burst forth, onto the ground far away. Daddy dashed to connect up the remaining tank, and they continued to water for a total of five tense hours. 参考词汇（不需要全部使用）： horror n.震惊; 恐惧 helplessly adv.无力地; 无助地 disbelief n. 不信;怀疑 frantically adv. 疯狂地 awful adj.可怕的;很多的 terrified adj.恐惧的; 受惊吓的 painful adj. 令人痛苦的;困难的 roast v.烤;烘焙 propel v.推进;驱使 evacuate v. 撤空; 撤离 ignite v. 点燃; 使燃烧 defend v.防护;防御 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The fire burnt many homes in their area. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The weeks that followed proved their resolve. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 The fire burnt many homes in their area. However, due to their efforts, theirs was saved. The region was declared a state of emergency. The sound of cicadas and singing birds had disappeared, and native animals and livestock were lost. Wherever people looked, they found the burnt and destroyed ruins. Daddy and Grandma continued to struggle to do whatever they could to help the others who were still suffering. The weeks that followed proved their resolve. Daddy rescued neighbors, cut off from fallen trees, cleared roads single-handedly and delivered hay. He volunteered tirelessly, into the night for weeks. Meanwhile, Grandma bucketed water to their animals, and put out spot fires with no water-tanks, electricity, or phone lines. They looked out at their farm, now deserted and barren. The animals were utterly exhausted. “Now we must begin the huge cleanup,” they thought, “but where do we even begin?” That was two years ago, and they’ve worked tirelessly ever since. 【解析】 【详解】[总体分析] ①题材：本文是一篇小作文； ②时态：时态为一般过去时； ③提示：本文主要介绍了一个农场发生了大火，他们在奋力救火，但是水管突然停止供水了，爸爸赶紧把剩下的水箱连接起来，他们紧张地连续浇水了五个小时，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 [写作步骤] 第一步，讲述他们连续浇水之后，火被灭了，介绍火灭之后的情况； 第二步，讲述他们接下来几周的行动。 [亮点词汇] ①continue to do sth.继续做某事 ②cut off切断 ③ever since自从 [高分句型] Daddy and Grandma continued to struggle to do whatever they could to help the others who were still suffering.

Thinking of the first 3 digits (数位) of pi (3.14), you can quickly work out ___3___ March 14 was chosen as the date for Pi Day. In 2019, UNESCO set the dayas the International Day of Mathematics to celebrate the beauty of math and stress the essential role it plays in all aspects of our lives. Pi Day was first celebrated in the US in 1988 at San Francisco’s Exploratorium, a museum of science and technology which ___4___ (encourage) visitors to be hands-on. During the first celebration, Exploratorium’s employees marched around one of the circular ___5___ (space) of the museum because pi is the rate of a circle’s circumference (周长) to its diameter. As a celebration of the mathematical constant pi, Pi Day in China is to honor Zu Chongzhi (429—500 AD), a Chinese mathematician who calculated pi as being ___6___ 3.1415926 and 3.1415927, a record in accuracy ___7___ was not surpassed for over 800 years. Pi Day is celebrated in ___8___ (variety) ways across the world. In the US, schools usually hold activities related to pie, such as pie-eating contests or ___9___ (simple) throwing pies toward each other. “In Germany, the celebration of Pi Daytakes on a cultural twist,” said a 15-year-old German girl. Schools inspire students ___10___ (express) their artistic side through pi-related art displays. These range from pi-inspired paintings to mathematical sculptures, training creativity within the field of mathematics. She even built a 3-dimensional cityscape with Lego for Pi Day, ___11___ (use) different colored blocks to represent each digit of pi. So, this year’s Pi Day was no different. Pies ___12___ (eat) up and numbers rolled as students across the globe came together yet again to honor the charm of pi and math as a whole. 【答案】3. why 4. encourages 5. spaces 6. between 7. that##which 8. various 9. simply 10. to express 11. using 12. were eaten 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了圆周率日和它的庆祝活动。 【3题详解】 句意：你很快就能明白为什么3月14日被选为圆周率日。根据“March 14 was chosen as the date for Pi Day”可知是为什么3月14日被选为圆周率日，why“为什么”。故填why。 【4题详解】 句意：1988年，圆周率日首次在美国旧金山的探索馆举行，这是一家鼓励游客动手的科技博物馆。此处描述客观事情，which代指a museum of science and technology，谓语动词用单三encourages“鼓励”。故填encourages。 【5题详解】 句意：在第一次庆祝活动中，探索馆的员工在博物馆的一个圆形空间周围游行，因为圆周率是圆的周长与直径的比率。one of后加可数名词复数spaces“空间”。故填spaces。 【6题详解】 句意：他计算出圆周率在3.1415926和3.1415927之间，这一精度记录在800多年来一直没有超过。根据“3.1415926 and 3.1415927”可知是between...and...“在……和……之间”。故填between。 【7题详解】 句意：他计算出圆周率在3.1415926和3.1415927之间，这一精度记录在800多年来一直没有超过。句子是定语从句，先行词是a record，关系词在从句中作主语，用that/which引导定语从句。故填that/which。 【8题详解】 句意：圆周率日在世界各地以各种方式庆祝。修饰名词ways用形容词various“各种各样的”。故填various。 【9题详解】 句意：在美国，学校通常会举办与馅饼有关的活动，比如吃馅饼比赛，或者只是互相扔馅饼。修饰动词用副词simply“简单地”。故填simply。 【10题详解】 句意： 学校通过与圆周率相关的艺术展示激发学生表达自己的艺术一面。inspire sb. to do sth.“激励某人做某事”。故填to express。 【11题详解】 句意：她甚至用乐高积木为圆周率日制作了一个三维城市景观，用不同颜色的方块来代表圆周率的每个数字。句中有谓语动词，use和主语之间是主动关系，用现在分词。故填using。 【12题详解】 句意：当世界各地的学生再次聚集在一起，向圆周率和数学的整体魅力致敬时，馅饼被吃掉了，数字也滚了起来。主语Pies和谓语之间是被动关系，根据“came”可知此处用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是名词复数，be动词用were。故填were eaten。 三、阅读：本大题共15小题，每小题4分，满分60分。 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Costa Rica is full of unique animals found nowhere else on Earth.

Later, a co-worker took him to visit a basketball court, and he was amazed by the athletic prowess on display. At that moment, Douglas, who had enjoyed playing sports as a child, was determined to create a basketball team and provide greater opportunities for New York City’s Black athletes. He needed to find a place for his team to play. When asking a ballroom owner, William Roach, for permission to use one of the dance floors, Douglas was replied with “you guys will break up my place”. After promising to take on all the financial risk, he finally persuaded Roach to change his mind and called the team “Rens”. However, their ballroom had fewer seats and attracted fewer people than others, so Douglas had to pack the house to generate profits and keep his team alive. They traveled the country playing any opponent that would agree to schedule them, during which they repeatedly faced discrimination and unfair treatment and the players were often banned from hotels and restaurants. No matter the obstacle, the Rens just kept strict practicing. They helped change the game of basketball by focusing on quick passing, which let the players move faster, play a more fluid (流畅) game and keep winning. In 1925, the Rens shocked the world by defeating the Original Celtics, the most dominant team of their day. During the 1932-33 season, the team won 88 straight games, a professional basketball record that remains unbroken. Unfortunately, the Rens disbanded (解散) in 1949. But in time, they were recognized for the important role they played in advancing Black athletes in basketball, ensuring that although the Rens aren't a household name, their story will never be forgotten. 16. What inspired Douglas to establish a basketball team? A. His desire to show his athletic strength. B. A motivation to learn Black culture. C. His intention to earn a good income. D. An experience to a basketball court. 17. Why did the Rens tour the country playing basketball? A. To solve financial problems. B. To improve basketball skills. C. To fight for accommodation. D. To play with excellent players. 18 How did the Rens help change the game of basketball? A. Making competition rules. B. Speeding up the game. C. Defeating the professional team. D. Creating an unbroken record. 19. What can we learn from the story? A. A winner is one with a willing heart. B. A high reputation will work wonders. C. Success makes personal desires satisfied. D. A man owes success to the team support. 【答案】16. D 17. A 18. B 19. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了Douglas组建一支篮球队，为纽约市的黑人运动员提供更多机会。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Later, a co-worker took him to visit a basketball court, and he was amazed by the athletic prowess on display. At that moment, Douglas, who had enjoyed playing sports as a child, was determined to create a basketball team and provide greater opportunities for New York City’s Black athletes.”可知一位同事带他去参观了一个篮球场，他对所展示的运动能力感到惊讶，所以他决心组建一支篮球队。故选D。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据“However, their ballroom had fewer seats and attracted fewer people than others, so Douglas had to pack the house to generate profits and keep his team alive. They traveled the country playing…”可知他不得不收拾房子来赚钱，让他的团队活下去，所以他们周游全国，与任何同意安排比赛的对手比赛。故选A。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They helped change the game of basketball by focusing on quick passing,”可知他们通过专注于快速传球来帮助改变篮球比赛。故选B。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，他们的篮球队遇到了很多问题，但是他们不放弃，仍然坚持训练，连续赢得88场比赛，从中可知只要有毅力，就可以成功。故选A。 C Robots have long been drawing inspiration from animals, with the creation of robot dogs or snake-shaped robots. And yet, the field of robotics is far less enthusiastic about the other kind of living things—plants. Barbara Mazzolai, an Italian roboticist owes this to a misconception about plant behavior: that they cannot move or think. “It’s not true at all,” she says. To challenge this view, Dr Mazzolai and her team recently launched a machine called “FiloBot”, a robot based on a climbing species. To survive, a climbing plant must switch between several different behaviors. In forest environments, it must first grow out of the soil and travel along the ground in search of a support to hold onto, such as a nearby tree. Once a support is located, though, the plant fixes itself around the object and then growing towards the light. To choose the best angle to grow upwards, a climbing plant uses its shoots (芽) to receive information about light and gravity. FiloBot has sensors on its main shoot. It can 3D-print its body with plastic and grow at a controllable rate. These functions, researchers found, enabled FiloBot to cross gaps, and find things to attach to. The lack of heavy on-board computing device means that it is light and requires minimal care, while its slow pace means that it doesn’t disturb things around it, making it possible to move through a complex, unseen environment, or monitoring disaster sites. For now, FiloBot is still being tested. Its tendrils (卷须) have not left the laboratory. Still, it has already been employed in deconstructing plant behaviour. For example, it was long assumed that climbing plants find their supports by growing towards shade, though the exact mechanism was unclear. FiloBot could imitate this behaviour by detecting far-red light, which is typical of shaded areas, providing clues to how plants do it. Dr Mazzolai hopes that such projects will inspire other roboticists to take their cues from plants and develop completely new technologies. 20. What does the misconception about plants in the field of robotics focus on? A. Their shapes. B. Their diversity. C. Their body language. D. Their capabilities. 21. What is an advantage of FiloBot? A. It moves quickly. B. It has a solid metal body. C. It adapts to different environment. D. It is attached to huge computers. 22. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The limitations of FiloBot. B. The current use of FiloBot. C. The components of FiloBot. D. The unique feature of FiloBot's design. 23. Which of the following is a suitable title for this text? A. A Role Model for Robotics Research B. A Glimpse into the World of Robotics C. A Plant-Inspired Innovation in Robotics D. A Misunderstanding of the Plant Kingdom 【答案】20. D 21. C 22. B 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了Mazzolai博士和她的团队最近推出了一种名为“FiloBot”的机器，这是一种基于攀爬物种的机器人。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Barbara Mazzolai, an Italian roboticist owes this to a misconception about plant behavior: that they cannot move or think”可知意大利机器人专家Barbara Mazzolai将此归因于对植物行为误解：植物不能移动或思考，所以在机器人领域对植物的误解集中在它们的能力上。故选D。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The lack of heavy on-board computing device means that it is light and requires minimal care, while its slow pace means that it doesn’t disturb things around it, making it possible to move through a complex, unseen environment, or monitoring disaster sites.”可知缺乏重型机载计算设备意味着它很轻，需要最少的护理，而它的缓慢速度意味着它不会干扰周围的东西，从而可以在复杂的、看不见的环境中移动，或监控灾难现场，所以它的优点是它能适应不同的环境。故选C。 22题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“For now, FiloBot is still being tested...Still, it has already been employed in deconstructing plant behaviour”可知第四段主要介绍了FiloBot的当前使用情况。故选B。 【23题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了Mazzolai博士和她的团队最近推出了一种名为“FiloBot”的机器，这是一种基于攀爬物种的机器人，以选项C“植物启发的机器人创新”为标题最合适。故选C。 D One Sunday, we arrived home from a wedding to find our neighbors sitting among a pile of buckets, bottles, and anything they could fill water in. After inquiring, they said they had been waiting for the water truck. In some parts of Johannesburg, South Africa, homes have not had water in their taps for weeks and months on end. Thankfully, my dad’s planning ahead blessed our home with a precious borehole (钻井) that provides us with fresh water every day. Sometimes, because we are off the grid (网格), we are not even aware of what is happening around us, especially with the lack of water-until we see people queuing up, waiting for the water trucks the government sends. Often, the trucks are late or run out of water before reaching our street. In the spirit of Ubuntu, a Zulu (祖鲁语) term meaning humanity that also translates to: “I am because we are”, we encouraged the neighbors to collect their water from our borehole. We opened the gate and connected the pipe. Very quickly, the word spread, and old and young gathered with various-sized containers to collect this life-giving liquid. There was much laughter and chatter, along with some singing as bucket after bucket was filled. It was heartwarming to watch the young help the elderly carry their water home before returning for their own buckets. And as long as our family’s borehole is working, we practice Ubuntu. “It is not safe to let strangers onto your property,” some say. But humanity drives us to take the risk because the burden is lessened when shared. It is what we need for our collective survival. A simple act of sharing water has spread hope in the community that we can overcome the difficulties we face together. 24. What did the author find when arriving home? A. Plastic bottles piled up on the road. B. Neighbors were short of water. C. Water trucks were out of service. D. Public facilities were damaged. 25. What is the father like according to paragraph 2? A. Forward-looking. B. Hard-working. C. Well-educated. D. Self-confident. 26. Which of the following best interprets the spirit of Ubuntu? A. One good turn deserves another. B. A man can do no more than he can. C. Hardship makes a man wise, not rich. D. We are stronger when standing together. 27. What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Property. B. Humanity. C. Risk. D. Burden. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者一家在南非约翰内斯堡的某个经常停水地区的生活经历。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“After inquiring, they said they had been waiting for the water truck. In some parts of Johannesburg, South Africa, homes have not had water in their taps for weeks and months on end.”可知邻居说他们一直在等水车，在南非约翰内斯堡的一些地区，家庭的水龙头已经连续数周至数月没有水了。故选B。 25题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Thankfully, my dad’s planning ahead blessed our home with a precious borehole (钻井) that provides us with fresh water every day.”可知父亲的提前计划为我们的家提供了一个珍贵的钻孔，每天为我们提供淡水，可见作者的父亲是有远见的。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据“we encouraged the neighbors to collect their water from our borehole...It was heartwarming to watch the young help the elderly carry their water home before returning for their own buckets”以及“A simple act of sharing water has spread hope in the community that we can overcome the difficulties we face together.”可知作者让邻居们从他们的钻孔中取水，而且邻居也是互相帮助，所以Ubuntu精神是当团结一致时会更强大。故选D。 【27题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“But humanity drives us to take the risk because the burden is lessened when shared. It is what we need for our collective survival.”可知人性驱使我们承担风险，因为分担负担会减轻，这是我们集体生存所需要，故此处it指代“人性”。故选B。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年初中学业水平自主招生测试 英 语 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名，准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.本场考试时间为90分钟，请分配好时间。 3.本卷共27小题，满分120分。回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 4.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 一、写作与表达：本题共有2节，第一节引用文写作15分，第二节读后续写25分，共40分。 第一节 应用文写作（15分） 1. 假设你是学生会主席李华，为了培养同学们良好的劳动习惯，你校将举行主题为“劳动创造美好生活(Labor Creates a Better Life) ”的系列劳动实践活动。请你用英语写一篇发言稿。 内容包括： 1.活动目的； 2.活动内容及意义； 3.鼓励大家积极参加。 注意： 1.词数80左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节 读后续写（25分） 2. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Everywhere she looked, she saw a sea of fire.

During the first celebration, Exploratorium’s employees marched around one of the circular ___5___ (space) of the museum because pi is the rate of a circle’s circumference (周长) to its diameter. As a celebration of the mathematical constant pi, Pi Day in China is to honor Zu Chongzhi (429—500 AD), a Chinese mathematician who calculated pi as being ___6___ 3.1415926 and 3.1415927, a record in accuracy ___7___ was not surpassed for over 800 years. Pi Day is celebrated in ___8___ (variety) ways across the world. In the US, schools usually hold activities related to pie, such as pie-eating contests or ___9___ (simple) throwing pies toward each other. “In Germany, the celebration of Pi Daytakes on a cultural twist,” said a 15-year-old German girl. Schools inspire students ___10___ (express) their artistic side through pi-related art displays. These range from pi-inspired paintings to mathematical sculptures, training creativity within the field of mathematics. She even built a 3-dimensional cityscape with Lego for Pi Day, ___11___ (use) different colored blocks to represent each digit of pi. So, this year’s Pi Day was no different. Pies ___12___ (eat) up and numbers rolled as students across the globe came together yet again to honor the charm of pi and math as a whole. 三、阅读：本大题共15小题，每小题4分，满分60分。 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Costa Rica is full of unique animals found nowhere else on Earth.

Later, a co-worker took him to visit a basketball court, and he was amazed by the athletic prowess on display. At that moment, Douglas, who had enjoyed playing sports as a child, was determined to create a basketball team and provide greater opportunities for New York City’s Black athletes. He needed to find a place for his team to play. When asking a ballroom owner, William Roach, for permission to use one of the dance floors, Douglas was replied with “you guys will break up my place”. After promising to take on all the financial risk, he finally persuaded Roach to change his mind and called the team “Rens”. However, their ballroom had fewer seats and attracted fewer people than others, so Douglas had to pack the house to generate profits and keep his team alive. They traveled the country playing any opponent that would agree to schedule them, during which they repeatedly faced discrimination and unfair treatment and the players were often banned from hotels and restaurants. No matter the obstacle, the Rens just kept strict practicing. They helped change the game of basketball by focusing on quick passing, which let the players move faster, play a more fluid (流畅) game and keep winning. In 1925, the Rens shocked the world by defeating the Original Celtics, the most dominant team of their day. During the 1932-33 season, the team won 88 straight games, a professional basketball record that remains unbroken. Unfortunately, the Rens disbanded (解散) in 1949. But in time, they were recognized for the important role they played in advancing Black athletes in basketball, ensuring that although the Rens aren't a household name, their story will never be forgotten. 16. What inspired Douglas to establish a basketball team? A His desire to show his athletic strength. B. A motivation to learn Black culture. C. His intention to earn a good income. D. An experience to a basketball court. 17. Why did the Rens tour the country playing basketball? A. To solve financial problems. B. To improve basketball skills. C. To fight for accommodation. D. To play with excellent players. 18. How did the Rens help change the game of basketball? A. Making competition rules. B. Speeding up the game. C. Defeating the professional team. D. Creating an unbroken record. 19. What can we learn from the story? A. A winner is one with a willing heart. B. A high reputation will work wonders. C. Success makes personal desires satisfied. D. A man owes success to the team support. C Robots have long been drawing inspiration from animals, with the creation of robot dogs or snake-shaped robots. And yet, the field of robotics is far less enthusiastic about the other kind of living things—plants. Barbara Mazzolai, an Italian roboticist owes this to a misconception about plant behavior: that they cannot move or think. “It’s not true at all,” she says. To challenge this view, Dr Mazzolai and her team recently launched a machine called “FiloBot”, a robot based on a climbing species. To survive, a climbing plant must switch between several different behaviors. In forest environments, it must first grow out of the soil and travel along the ground in search of a support to hold onto, such as a nearby tree. Once a support is located, though, the plant fixes itself around the object and then growing towards the light. To choose the best angle to grow upwards, a climbing plant uses its shoots (芽) to receive information about light and gravity. FiloBot has sensors on its main shoot. It can 3D-print its body with plastic and grow at a controllable rate. These functions, researchers found, enabled FiloBot to cross gaps, and find things to attach to. The lack of heavy on-board computing device means that it is light and requires minimal care, while its slow pace means that it doesn’t disturb things around it, making it possible to move through a complex, unseen environment, or monitoring disaster sites. For now, FiloBot is still being tested. Its tendrils (卷须) have not left the laboratory. Still, it has already been employed in deconstructing plant behaviour. For example, it was long assumed that climbing plants find their supports by growing towards shade, though the exact mechanism was unclear. FiloBot could imitate this behaviour by detecting far-red light, which is typical of shaded areas, providing clues to how plants do it. Dr Mazzolai hopes that such projects will inspire other roboticists to take their cues from plants and develop completely new technologies. 20 What does the misconception about plants in the field of robotics focus on?

A Misunderstanding of the Plant Kingdom D One Sunday, we arrived home from a wedding to find our neighbors sitting among a pile of buckets, bottles, and anything they could fill water in. After inquiring, they said they had been waiting for the water truck. In some parts of Johannesburg, South Africa, homes have not had water in their taps for weeks and months on end. Thankfully, my dad’s planning ahead blessed our home with a precious borehole (钻井) that provides us with fresh water every day. Sometimes, because we are off the grid (网格), we are not even aware of what is happening around us, especially with the lack of water-until we see people queuing up, waiting for the water trucks the government sends. Often, the trucks are late or run out of water before reaching our street. In the spirit of Ubuntu, a Zulu (祖鲁语) term meaning humanity that also translates to: “I am because we are”, we encouraged the neighbors to collect their water from our borehole. We opened the gate and connected the pipe. Very quickly, the word spread, and old and young gathered with various-sized containers to collect this life-giving liquid. There was much laughter and chatter, along with some singing as bucket after bucket was filled. It was heartwarming to watch the young help the elderly carry their water home before returning for their own buckets. And as long as our family’s borehole is working, we practice Ubuntu. “It is not safe to let strangers onto your property,” some say. But humanity drives us to take the risk because the burden is lessened when shared. It is what we need for our collective survival. A simple act of sharing water has spread hope in the community that we can overcome the difficulties we face together. 24. What did the author find when arriving home? A. Plastic bottles piled up on the road. B. Neighbors were short of water. C. Water trucks were out of service. D. Public facilities were damaged. 25 What is the father like according to paragraph 2? A. Forward-looking. B. Hard-working. C. Well-educated. D. Self-confident. 26. Which of the following best interprets the spirit of Ubuntu? A. One good turn deserves another. B. A man can do no more than he can. C. Hardship makes a man wise not rich. D. We are stronger when standing together. 27. What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Property. B. Humanity. C. Risk. D. Burden. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
