Abraham and his mother, Miriam, have a passion for taking care of the homeless around their neighborhood in Jackson, Mississippi.The pair have a history of providing food to the needy every third Saturday, and they recently got added help from the Make-A-Wish foundation in Mississippi after he was diagnosed with a rare disease, aplastic anemia, in 2020. The condition causes the body to stop producing enough new blood cells, leaving patients exhausted and easier to suffer infection and uncontrolled bleeding.Abraham later experienced a successful bone marrow transplant （骨髓移植） and found out he was qualified to have one of his dreams fulfilled by Make-A-Wish.It didn’t take long for Abraham to think of the perfect choice.He would continue the mission that was important to him and his mom.With the help of the foundation, Abraham fed about 80 people in Jackson in September. When the homeless people got the plate, some of them would come back and sing to them and thank them.“And it just really feels good; it warms our hearts.And my parents always taught me that it’s a blessing to be a blessing,” Abraham said. Not only that, but Make-A-Wish said they would help Abraham feed the homeless in Jackson every third Saturday until August 2022, ensuring that he could help even more people in need. Abraham did receive a few gifts from Make-A-Wish, including a new laptop, a ring light, and a microphone to help him start a channel on a social media platform.He also plans to start a non-profit called “Abraham’s Table” to continue his mission. 1.How often do Abraham and his mom offer food to those in need? A.At least once a day. B.At least once a week. C.At least once a year. D.At least once a month. 2.What can we infer about Abraham from Paragraph 3? A.He is doing what he wants to do. B.He has been completely cured. C.He decided to support his family. D.He got a mission from an organization. 3.What does Abraham mean to do? A.Send more Make-A-Wish cards. B.Start a public welfare program. C.Join a non-profit organization. D.Feed the homeless every Saturday. 4.Which of the following can best describe Abraham? A.Determined and patient. B.Ambitious and creative. C.Imaginative and practical. D.Caring and considerate. B 　　Fire threats and environmental concerns have prompted some US cities to give up traditional Fourth of July fireworks in favor of spectacular drone （无人机） light shows this year. Maybe most importantly, the drones being employed by more and more cities for Fourth of July celebrations don’t leave behind a blanket of smoke at a time when America’s air quality is already at its worst in decades.Cities making the switch to high-tech shows say there’re plenty of other reasons people may want to avoid traditional fireworks. “Fireworks can be harmful to folks who suffer from PTSD or families who have dogs.Salt Lake City has more households with dogs than we do with kids,” said Lynze Twede, an events manager for Salt Lake City Public Lands.The Southern California cities of La Jolla and Ocean Beach also cited animals as a key driver behind their switch to a July Fourth drone show: A 2017 lawsuit claimed that local sea lion pups were bothered by the booming sounds. There’s also the risk of starting actual fires with annual fireworks shows.An estimated 12,264 fires were started by fireworks displays in 2021. But data also shows that much of the wildfire risk comes not from grand public displays, but from the small-scale shows set off on streets and sidewalks.Consumer-grade fireworks usage spiked across the US in recent years, when people looked for ways to celebrate life’s milestones in their own backyards. Trying something new has been met with mixed reaction from the community but, as Dan Kingdom, owner of WK Real Estate in Boulder, says,“The turn away from fireworks is considered by many to be the way of the future.Drones are reusable, and with fireworks, you have smoke, other fallout like debris, the noise stresses out dogs and people with PTSD.” It may be too early to tell how the new trend in alternatives at the city level may get close to smaller shows and consumers, but price is a limiting factor: Those high-tech displays are expensive. 5.What is the top consideration of people in Ocean Beach when choosing drone shows? A.Reducing fire risks. B.Protecting animals. C.Improving air quality. D.Preventing noise pollution. 6.What can we learn about America from the last three paragraphs? A.Grand public displays cause the most wildfires. B.Small-scale shows lead to more wildfires. C.The usage of fireworks has been on the decrease. D.Drones will replace fireworks very soon. 7.What is Dan Kingdom’s attitude to choosing drone light shows for celebration? A.Doubtful.　 B.Confused. C.Supportive.　 D.Surprised. 8.What is the passage mainly about? A.How Americans celebrate special events. B.The harm fireworks have done to America. C.The development of drone shows in America. D.Why US cities choose drones instead of fireworks. 四、七选五 　　You will be leaving this school in June this year and the unavoidable question many people will ask you is, “So, what do you want to be?” 　9　 But many of you still don’t have a clue! Here are some things you might want to consider. First, does the career you are considering have staying power? Will it be in demand in 20 years? Rapid technological change is disruptive （破坏性的）. 　10　 While many occupations are being taken over by new technology, jobs that require high-level of critical thinking, emotional intelligence and human interaction remain in high demand. These jobs are more adaptable and not easily replaced by machines or technology. Second, choose a career that interests you. Some people might think this is unimportant, but if you are truly passionate about your job then going to work every day won’t seem a chore. It’s also likely that you will stay and grow in this career. Before making a choice, you should examine your values, skills and personality type. 　11　 Third, of course you will want to consider your chosen profession’s earning power! Although high pay plays a part, you should know that a job with a big salary will likely require more time to get to the top, much more effort and a higher level of stress. 　12　 If you have interests outside of work, or are struggling with other demands in your life, you might want to choose a less taxing line of work. 　13　 Let me leave you with an old saying: “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” A.We need to be forward-looking at our future prospects. B.Some of you may have already decided on a career path. C.Trying different work can help you find out your favorite job. D.This can help you decide if a career path is a good fit for you. E.Only the truly motivated will likely be able to meet these challenges. F.People’s wages are lower in industries with slow technological change. G.Thinking about a lifelong career at this stage in your life is surely challenging. 答案： 一、基础词汇检查 1.程序；步骤；手续　2.火箭；火箭弹　3.重力；引力　4.边境；国界；边远地区　5.交通工具；车辆　6.人造卫星；卫星 7.（环绕地球、太阳等运行的）轨道；势力范围　沿轨道运行；环绕……运行　8.巨大的；伟大的　巨人；巨兽；伟人　9.跳跃；剧增；剧变　跳过；跃过　10.（政府的）专门机构；服务机构；代理处 11.传输；发送　12.资料；数据　13.航天器；宇宙飞船 14.太空行走；太空行走的时间　15.太阳的；太阳能的 16.足够的；充足的　17.肥皂　18.微波炉　19.纸巾；（人、动植物细胞的）组织　20.设施；设备　21.致命的；灾难性的 22.高端的　23.枕头　24.神秘事物；谜　25.氧；氧气　26.火星27.astronaut　28.signal　29.recycle　30.muscle　31.float 32.otherwise　33.current　34.keen　35.shallow　36.monitor 37.smartphone　38.attach 　 二、单句语法填空 1.universal　2.disappointed; independently　3.global 4.regularly; mentally　5.limited; arguments　6.independence 7.would have given　8.disappointed; to explore　9.in; to　10.on 三、阅读理解 A 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。男孩Abraham和妈妈热心帮助无家可归者。在被诊断患有再生障碍性贫血并接受骨髓移植后，Abraham利用他的Make-A-Wish机会继续帮助社区中的无家可归者，他还计划创办一个名为Abraham’s Table的非营利项目来继续他的使命。 1.D　细节理解题。根据第二段可知，Abraham和他的妈妈每月至少一次为有需要的人提供食物。 2.A　推理判断题。根据第三段可知，Abraham通过Make-A-Wish基金会继续去帮助别人，为无家可归者提供食物。由此可知，Abraham正在做他想做的事。 3.B　细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，Abraham计划创办一项非营利性的、名为“亚伯拉罕的餐桌”的公益项目。 4.D　推理判断题。根据第一、二段可知，Abraham非常具有爱心，热心帮助有需要的人且考虑周全。 B 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。火灾隐患和对环境的担忧促使美国一些城市放弃了传统的7月4日烟花表演，今年取而代之的是壮观的无人机灯光表演。 5.B　细节理解题。根据第三段可知，在南加州的La Jolla和Ocean Beach，（保护）动物是他们选择7月4日无人机表演的关键驱动因素。 6.B　细节理解题。根据第五段可知，在美国，大部分野火风险不是来自大型的公共烟火表演，而是来自街道和人行道上的小型烟火表演；另外，近年来，美国消费级烟花的使用量在激增。 7.C　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，Dan Kingdom认为，远离烟花是未来的趋势；另外，他还指出了使用无人机灯光表演的诸多优点。因此，Dan Kingdom对于选择无人机灯光秀来庆祝的态度是支持的。 8.D　主旨大意题。综合全文可知，本文主要分析了美国一些城市放弃了传统的7月4日烟花表演而代之以无人机灯光表演的原因。 四、七选五 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在选择职业道路的时候你可能需要考虑的事情。9.B　根据下句But many of you still don’t have a clue！中的转折连词But可知，上下句有转折关系，故B项符合语境。 10.A　上句提出技术变革会改变职业，要考虑未来可能的变化，A项承接上文，提出要展望职业前景，符合语境。 11.D　上文提出选择职业前要进行自我评估，D项承接上文，说明这样做的好处，D项中的This指代上文中的examine your values， skills and personality type。 12.E　上文提出与高薪相伴的是更多的付出与挑战，E项承接上文，说明什么样的人才能迎接这些挑战。E项中的these challenges与上文require more time to get to the top， much more effort and a higher level of stress相呼应。故E项符合语境。 13.G　最后一段是对全文的总结。G项先说明选择一项一生从事的职业是很有挑战性的，然后引用一句名言来提出忠告并鼓励我们。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
