课时作业 巩固提升
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2023·广东广州检测)Andrew Bastawrous was 12 when he found out he could barely see.He was then socially awkward, failing at school and terrible at ball games.
Glasses turned his life around,yet even as a child he was aware of how lucky he was.Bastawrous grew up in the UK, but his family would visit poor parts of Egypt, where his parents were from.“Nobody there wore glasses, but I knew some people needed them,”he says.“It felt incredibly unfair.At 16,I decided I wasn't going to feel guilty about it any more.” He determined there and then to become an eye surgeon, and he did.
In 2011,he and his wife moved with their one-year-old son to a small town 5 hours' drive from Nairobi.They had limited electricity and running water.For 18 months, every time Bastawrous and his team set up their “mobile” eye clinic in yet another new location, they had to drag heavy, fragile hospital equipment cross-country.There was another problem,as one local doctor described it, “We don't even have enough doctors and now you also want eye surgeons? That's probably a pipe dream.”
All this convinced Bastawrous that something fundamental was needed.So he started exploring ways to replace his clinic with a single, convenient device:a smartphone.He co-developed an app-based visual test that gathers as much information as the classic one, using similar principles.The critical difference is that almost anyone can carry it out after just a few minutes of training.Bastawrous co-founded a charitable company to develop and apply the technology more widely.His team also developed technologies that enabled a smartphone camera to take hospital-grade images of the back of the eye.
That's a pretty good start, but Bastawrous has set his sights sky-high.“I feel we're at a tipping point now where this enormous problem will become a historical thing.That's when I'll sleep easy,” he says.

(2024·湖南娄底模拟)Michael Laffoon has a vivid memory of the day he decided to piece his life back together.“I literally woke up in my van (小货车) and I thought,‘I can't do this anymore because I'm going to die,’” he says.“It was just a strong feeling that I had come to the end of a chapter.”
For eight years, the Santa Cruz, California resident drifted in and out of homelessness because of a serious drug addiction.It was a frustrating, impossible lifestyle.In 2009, Laffoon learned about Homeless Garden Project at a kitchen where he was volunteering.The not-for-profit aims to lift people living on the streets of Santa Cruz out of homelessness through farming.The end goal is that they will leave the farm with stable housing and a full-time job.
After a year and a half of being in the program, Laffoon was able to secure employment and stable housing.He later obtained a degree in horticulture (园艺学) .“It was the first step back into normal society—the first open door,” he says.
Trainees are employed to grow fruit, vegetables, flowers and herbs on the farm.They get paid a wage, are given basic job skills training and are matched with a social worker to work through specific goals.The project has helped close to 1,000 people.Over the past five years, 96 percent of graduates have obtained jobs or stable income and 86 percent have found housing.
The project's staffers say that the project has always had a strong element of community, which is central to the healing process of its trainees, as they often feel like they've lost their sense of belonging.Laffoon says that while he was homeless, he spent a lot of his time “trying to be invisible” and felt secluded from the rest of society.The project gave him meaningful work and a sense of belonging, which helped him get back on his feet.
Ella Fleming, the project's farm manager, has seen how growing food can have a life-changing and inspirational impact on trainees.“We provide a place where it's safe, it's nurturing, it's healthy and there's an exchange that happens,” she says.“When you're caring for a plant to try to get it to grow, you're also giving yourself some self-care to know that you can grow.”

Ⅱ.读后续写
(2023·山东淄博检测)It was 7:15 a.m.on Monday, and Frank, an engineer, was on his morning run along the East River.Suddenly, something caught his eye—a large 60-year-old man balancing on the four-foot-high railing (栏杆) that guarded the path from the water.Curious and confused, Frank stopped to get closer to the scene, only to find the man took a step forward and dropped into the dark river below.
When Frank reached the railing, the man was struggling in the water, clearly unable to swim.He screamed desperately for help as the current pulled him away from the bank.
By now, a crowd had gathered on land.People had called the police, but it was unclear when they'd get there.Without hesitation, dropping his phone and keys on land, Frank jumped in.Just as the old man was losing strength, Frank grabbed hold of him.Unexpectedly, the strong wind forced the water to tear them apart again.
Having seen what had happened, another two joggers made a quick response.They dived from where they stood into the river, and swam towards the pair, who were about 30 yards from the seawall.Immediately they caught up to the old man.The three stabilized him, with one supporting his back and the other two holding him up from either side.However, the old man was unresponsive, but not unconscious.As the men made their way towards the seawall that stretched for blocks in each direction, Frank had an awful realization:With the water flowing a
good eight feet below the lip of the wall and no ladder or dock in sight, there was no way out of the river.“A rescue boat is on its way,” someone yelled to them.The old man, who was six foot two and weighed around 260 pounds, was deadweight in his rescuers' arms, which meant they could only use their legs to save themselves.They were almost out of energy at that point.

Then appeared a rescue boat with a pole attached to it.

Then appeared a rescue boat with a pole attached to it. Frank supported the back of the old man whom the other two pushed upward the boat with great efforts.At the same time, someone on the boat pulled the old man up, making it in the end.Then, the three in the water grasped the pole on the boat, with which they climbed aboard, to safety.The three men sat on the boat, looking pale and exhausted, out of breath.Within ten minutes, the group was back on land.
The old man was rushed to hospital. Luckily, the details on his condition proved there was nothing wrong with him and he recovered in a short time.“Thank you for saving my life,” he said, showing his sincere gratitude to Frank and the two men, who left the hospital in relief after ensuring the old man was safe.Frank returned to work, obviously late.“I was a bit late, but I had a good excuse.It is worth enough,” he thought.
