Noticing that the door was open, she entered the library, and was astonished to see the heartwarming scene that people were using it like on a regular day. It was scheduled to be closed for the New Year holiday. The people in the library behaved as usual. Many were reading newspapers, some families were in the children’s section and others were searching for books on the computer. It seemed that Elf’s colleagues had simply forgotten to lock the door, and because this popular library is usually open on Saturdays, visitors just assumed they could walk in. After checking with her staff team, Elf announced to the people present that the library was about to close. Then she expressed her regret for what had been done wrong and caused them a problem. It later turns out that 446 locals visited the city library, borrowing a total of 246 books during the day. What’s remarkable is that people checked out their books through the library’s electronic self-service system, and that to date, all the books have been returned! Many Swedes have reacted positively to this uplifting demonstration of local respect for the library, a center that can be seen as a sign of the community, and what the locals did has strengthened their sense of belonging in their community. Elf says, “Nothing was destroyed. It’s amazing that Gothenburgers entered an empty library and treated it so lovingly.” The city leader has even suggested that this unusual Saturday serve as an accidental experiment to analyse the possibility of operating a totally automated library without staff. 4. Why did Elf feel surprised after entering the library? A. The library staff were in it. B. People kept reading on holidays. C. People came in without permission. D. It was in use though supposed to be closed. 5. What did Elf do that Saturday? A. She left the library open B. She asked the staff back. C. She apologized to the visitors. D. She read books in the library. 6. What do many Swedes think of the behavior of Gothenburg locals? A. It displays community spirit. B. It gives the library much uplift. C. It is a positive reaction to society. D. It strengthens trust between people. 7. What does the author want to convey through the story? A. People tend to show care for others. B. Life is always full of the unexpected. C. Libraries must be automated in the future. D. A library can bring out the best in people. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一次意外中，哥德堡市图书馆在假期未关闭，市民自觉使用图书馆的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Noticing that the door was open, she entered the library, and was astonished to see the heartwarming scene that people were using it like on a regular day. (注意到门是开着的，她走进图书馆，惊讶地看到人们像平常一样在使用图书馆的温馨场景)”以及第二段“It was scheduled to be closed for the New Year holiday. (图书馆原本应该在新年假期关闭)”可知，Elf感到惊讶的原因是图书馆本应该关闭，但是仍然被使用。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“After checking with her staff team, Elf announced to the people present that the library was about to close. Then she expressed her regret for what had been done wrong and caused them a problem. (在与她的员工团队确认后，Elf 向在场的人宣布图书馆即将关闭。然后她为所发生的问题表示歉意)”可知，Elf向访客道歉。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Many Swedes have reacted positively to this uplifting demonstration of local respect for the library, a center that can be seen as a sign of the community, and what the locals did has strengthened their sense of belonging in their community. (许多瑞典人对这一展现当地居民对图书馆尊重的令人振奋的事件反应积极，图书馆作为一个社区的象征，当地居民的行为增强了他们的归属感)”可知，许多瑞典人认为哥德堡当地人的行为展示了社区精神。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容以及最后一段“Elf says, “Nothing was destroyed. It’s amazing that Gothenburgers entered an empty library and treated it so lovingly.” The city leader has even suggested that this unusual Saturday serve as an accidental experiment to analyse the possibility of operating a totally automated library without staff. (Elf 说：“没有任何东西被破坏。哥德堡市民进入了一个无人值守的图书馆，却如此爱护它，这真是太神奇了。”市领导甚至建议将这个不同寻常的周六视为一次偶然的实验，以分析完全自动化、无工作人员运营图书馆的可能性)”可知，文章主要讲述了一次意外中，哥德堡市图书馆在假期未关闭，市民自觉使用图书馆的故事。作者通过这个故事想要传达的是图书馆可以激发人们最好的一面。故选D。 C While we might like to think we would rush to someone’s assistance, we know from studies that often people hang back and this can have tragic consequences. One of the most famous examples of this is the tragic case of Kitty Genovese who was fatally stabbed (刺伤) in Kew Gardens, New York, in 1964. Subsequent investigations concluded that several people saw or heard what was happening, but did nothing to intervene. This has been termed the “bystander effect” — a well-known psychological phenomenon where individuals are less likely to offer help to someone when other people are present. The more people there are, the less likely they are to help. There are various factors contributing to this effect — people think that others will get involved or intervene. Afterwards people often say they did not feel qualified or senior or important enough to be the one to intervene. It is also partly down to “pluralistic (多元化的) ignorance” — since everyone is not reacting to the emergency, they don’t need to either; it’s not serious because no one else is doing anything. After a serious incident where people have been affected by the bystander effect, they are often horrified that they didn’t do anything—they can’t believe they had not realized it was more serious or that they didn’t think to get involved. The important thing to understand though is that other studies have shown that once people are aware of the bystander effect they are less likely to be affected by it. Self-awareness is the best approach to it. When confronted with an emergency, think to yourself how you would behave if you were on your own. Ignore everyone else and how they are behaving and go with your courage — if you’d call an ambulance, do it. If you’d run for help, do it. If that’s how you would have behaved when you were on your own, then that’s probably the right course of action. 8. Why does the author mention “the tragic case of Kitty Genovese” in paragraph 2? A. To present a fact. B. To confirm a finding. C. To predict a conclusion. D. To illustrate an approach. 9. Influenced by the bystander effect, people may ______. A. feel confident to intervene. B. tend to help people in need. C. be well aware of bad consequences. D. feel shocked after a serious incident. 10. What does the author suggest people do when faced with an emergency? A. Think twice. B. Follow others. C. Step in at once. D. Take action cautiously. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. Behave Yourself B. Don’t Be A Bystander C. Action in An Emergency D. Severity of Bystander Effect 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“旁观者效应”，分析了其原因和解决方法，面对紧急情况，我们要马上行动，提供帮助，不做旁观者。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“One of the most famous examples of this is the tragic case of Kitty Genovese who was fatally stabbed (刺伤) in Kew Gardens, New York, in 1964.(最著名的例子之一是1964年在纽约邱园被刺伤致死的基蒂·吉诺维斯的悲剧)”中this指代第一段“While we might like to think we would rush to someone’s assistance, we know from studies that often people hang back and this can have tragic consequences.(虽然我们可能会认为我们会急于寻求别人的帮助，但我们从研究中知道，人们经常退缩，这可能会带来悲惨的后果)”可知，第二段举这个例子是为了证实这项发现。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“After a serious incident where people have been affected by the bystander effect, they are often horrified that they didn’t do anything—they can’t believe they had not realized it was more serious or that they didn’t think to get involved.(在严重事件发生后，人们受到了旁观者效应的影响，他们常常会为自己什么都没做而感到震惊——他们无法相信自己没有意识到事情更严重，或者他们没有想过要参与其中)”可知，受旁观者效应的影响，人们在发生重大事件后可能会感到震惊。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Ignore everyone else and how they are behaving and go with your courage—if you’d call an ambulance, do it. If you’d run for help, do it. If that’s how you would have behaved when you were on your own, then that’s probably the right course of action.(不要理会其他人和他们的行为，勇敢地去做——如果你想叫救护车，那就去叫。如果你想找人帮忙，那就去吧。如果这是你独自一人时的表现，那么这可能是正确的做法)”可知，当面临紧急情况时，作者建议人们马上介入。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The important thing to understand though is that other studies have shown that once people are aware of the bystander effect, they are less likely to be affected by it. Self-awareness is the best approach to it. When confronted with an emergency, think to yourself how you would behave if you were on your own. Ignore everyone else and how they are behaving and go with your courage—if you’d call an ambulance, do it. If you’d run for help, do it. If that’s how you would have behaved when you were on your own, then that’s probably the right course of action.(但重要的是要明白，其他研究表明，一旦人们意识到旁观者效应，他们就不太可能受到它的影响。自我意识是最好的方法。当你遇到紧急情况时，想想如果只有你一个人，你会怎么做。不要理会其他人和他们的行为，勇敢地去做——如果你想叫救护车，那就去叫。如果你想找人帮忙，那就去吧。如果这是你独自一人时的表现，那么这可能是正确的做法)”以及纵观全文可知，本文首先介绍了“旁观者效应”，然后分析了其原因，最后提出了解决方法，面对紧急情况，我们要马上行动，提供帮助，不做旁观者。所以B项“Don’t Be A Bystander(不要做旁观者)”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。 D A good conversation should proceed like a tennis match: players each take turns responding, knowing instinctively (本能的) when to speak and when to listen. This kind of complicated and back-and-forth talk is often considered to be possessed only by humans. However, according to a recent study, animals also seem to know when to speak and when to listen. The study involved over 300 animals including birds, mammals, insects, and frogs which practice turn-taking behavior. These animals alternate their call and response in a similar way humans communicate. Monkeys, for example, often exchange calls to locate each other in the wild and figure out whether they know one another. While forms of communication are mostly sound-based, several species have more creative forms of viewable communication. Baby monkeys let their parents know they want to be carried with arm gestures, while birds, insects and frogs can get their messages across through colorful displays. Kobin Kendrick, the main co-author on the study, says that making comparisons among animals that take turns when communicating can give us a better understanding of how this feature evolved in humans and our ancestors. “We know very little about the evolution and origin of the human language, so any possibility of gaining insight into it is worth going after,” he says. Additionally while the idea of turn-taking might bring to mind a picture of orderly, well-mannered animals, Kendrick stresses that this isn’t always the case. Owl chicks may try to outdo each other by making louder sounds in an effort to attract favor from their mothers during feeding. “This can be seen as an exception to the rule, highlighting the importance of turn-taking in general,” says Kendrick. One problem with the study is that researchers themselves don’t know how to communicate with others outside their particular species of interest. Kendrick stresses another goal of the study is to create a wider framework that can bring together all the different researches on turn-taking, allowing scientists to conduct more cross-species comparisons. “We all believe strongly these fields can benefit from each other, and we hope the study will drive more crosstalk between humans and animals in the future,” says Kendrick. 12. What can we learn about the turn-taking behavior? A. It is a unique human quality. B. It is an acquired athletic skill. C. It occurs between familiar relations. D. It features complexity and interaction. 13. Which of the following is a form of visual intercommunication? A. Frogs show skin colors. B. Bees release smells. C. Eagles scream in the sky. D. Monkeys exchange calls. 14. What does the underlined word “outdo” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Entertain. B. Impress. C. Surpass. D. Warn. 15. What aspect of research does the last paragraph highlight? A. Research budget. B. Research range. C. Research frequency. D. Research background. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了动物在交流时也表现出轮流说话的行为，这与人类的交流方式相似。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“This kind of complicated and back-and-forth talk is often considered to be possessed only by humans. However, according to a recent study, animals also seem to know when to speak and when to listen. (这种复杂而往返的对话通常被认为只有人类才具备。然而，根据最近的一项研究，动物似乎也知道何时该说话，何时该倾听)”可知，人类具备杂而往返的对话，动物也有轮流说话和倾听的行为，推断出轮流行为具有复杂性和互动性。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“While forms of communication are mostly sound-based, several species have more creative forms of viewable communication. Baby monkeys let their parents know they want to be carried with arm gestures, while birds, insects and frogs can get their messages across through colorful displays. (虽然大多数交流形式是基于声音的，但有些物种有更具创意的可视交流方式。小猴子会通过手势告诉父母它们想被抱着，而鸟类、昆虫和青蛙则可以通过色彩鲜艳的展示来传达信息)”可知，青蛙展示皮肤颜色属于视觉交流的一种形式。故选A。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“Additionally, while the idea of turn-taking might bring to mind a picture of orderly, well- mannered animals, Kendrick stresses that this isn’t always the case. Owl chicks may try to outdo each other by making louder sounds in an effort to attract favor from their mothers during feeding.(此外，尽管轮流说话的想法可能会让人联想到有序、有礼貌的动物，但Kendrick强调情况并非总是如此。在喂食时，猫头鹰幼崽可能会通过发出更大的声音来试图outdo彼此，以吸引母亲的青睐)”可知，这里通过猫头鹰幼崽的例子与前面提到的有序、有礼貌的动物形成对比，它们通过发出更大的声音来吸引母亲的青睐，努力超越其他幼崽，所以outdo译为“超越”与“surpass”同义。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“One problem with the study is that researchers themselves don’t know how to communicate with others outside their particular species of interest. Kendrick stresses another goal of the study is to create a wider framework that can bring together all the different researches on turn-taking, allowing scientists to conduct more cross-species comparisons. “We all believe strongly these fields can benefit from each other, and we hope the study will drive more crosstalk between humans and animals in the future,” says Kendrick. (这项研究的一个问题是，研究人员本身不知道如何与他们感兴趣物种之外的其他生物进行交流。肯德里克强调，研究的另一个目标是创建一个更广泛的框架，将所有关于轮流说话的不同研究整合在一起，使科学家能够进行更多的跨物种比较。“我们都坚信这些领域可以互相受益，我们希望这项研究能够推动未来人类与动物之间更多的交流，”肯德里克说)”可知，最后一段主要强调了研究范围的扩大和跨物种比较的重要性。故选B。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Role of Mass Media in Education In today’s advanced world, where everything is changing at lightning speed, mass media plays an important role. ___16___ It isn’t limited to the four walls of a classroom anymore.

A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high. David was made to feel this way almost every day in school. David was the most famous troublemaker in high school. He wasn’t confident and didn’t answer questions. From time to time he skipped classes and got into lots of fights. Teachers didn’t want to have him again the following year. However, things gradually changed during a weekend leadership meeting. All the students at school had been invited to sign up for ACE training, a program designed to have students become more involved in their communities. At the start of the meeting, David was literally standing outside the circle of students, against the back wall, with that “go ahead, impress me” look on his face. He didn’t readily join the discussion groups. But slowly, the interactive games drew him in the discussion. David started to join them and he really had great ideas. The other students in David’s group welcomed his comments. All of a sudden David felt like a part of the group. The next day, David was very active in all the sessions. By the end of the meeting, he had joined the Homeless Project team. He knew something about poverty, hunger and hopelessness. The other students on the team were impressed with his passionate concern and ideas. They elected David co-chairman of the team. The very first community service project organized by the Homeless Project team was to collect food for the homeless in the charge of David. But a group of teachers doubted whether this crucial beginning should be in the hands of David. The principal reminded them that the purpose of the ACE program was to uncover any positive passion that a student had and reinforce (加强) its practice until true change can take place. 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。 Two weeks later, David led 20 students in the team to collect food for the homeless. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After David’s picture appeared in the newspaper, everyone saw great changes in him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Two weeks later, David led 20 students in the team to collect food for the homeless. In the whole process, David was active and creative. His behavior and attitude also influenced other students in the team. They collected more than 2,000 cans of food in just two hours, which set a new school record. They all felt happy. After that, David led a second project, collecting 300 blankets and 1,000 pairs of shoes for the homeless, and then, a third one. The local newspaper covered the event with a full-page article, in which David’s picture was up for doing something greater. After David’s picture appeared in the newspaper, everyone saw great changes in him. He fully demonstrated his ability. All the teachers were surprised. They found that great changes were taking place on David. After he graduated from college, he opened his own company, where most workers were local people from his community. He proved his ability by his actions. From David’s story, we firmly believe that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending and once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了主人公大卫是高中最有名的捣蛋鬼，老师们都不喜欢他。一次，学校发起了一项旨在让学生更多地参与社区活动的项目，大卫被吸引并参与讨论，小组的其他学生对他的看法表示肯定，这激发了大卫的积极性，最终，他加入了其中一个项目团队并成为该团队的联合主席。团队的第一个社区服务项目是大卫负责的，但老师们怀疑大卫的能力。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“两周后，大卫带领团队中的20名学生为无家可归者收集食物。”可知，第一段可描写大卫在团队中的表现及取得的成果。 ②由第二段首句内容“大卫的照片登上报纸后，每个人都看到了他的巨大变化。”可知，第二段可描写大卫的变化和我们从大卫的经历中领悟到的道理。 2.续写线索：在活动中的努力——取得的成果——继续努力——大卫的事迹被报纸报道——老师们看到了大卫的变化——大学毕业后的成就——作者的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.影响：influence/affect ②.报道：cover/report ③.相信：believe/trust 情绪类 ①.高兴的：happy/pleased ②.惊讶的：surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B One Saturday in December, Annacarin Elf, the head of operations at Gothenburg City Library, just happened to walk by her workplace. Noticing that the door was open, she entered the library, and was astonished to see the heartwarming scene that people were using it like on a regular day. It was scheduled to be closed for the New Year holiday. The people in the library behaved as usual. Many were reading newspapers, some families were in the children’s section and others were searching for books on the computer. It seemed that Elf’s colleagues had simply forgotten to lock the door, and because this popular library is usually open on Saturdays, visitors just assumed they could walk in. After checking with her staff team, Elf announced to the people present that the library was about to close. Then she expressed her regret for what had been done wrong and caused them a problem. It later turns out that 446 locals visited the city library, borrowing a total of 246 books during the day. What’s remarkable is that people checked out their books through the library’s electronic self-service system, and that to date, all the books have been returned! Many Swedes have reacted positively to this uplifting demonstration of local respect for the library a center that can be seen as a sign of the community, and what the locals did has strengthened their sense of belonging in their community. Elf says, “Nothing was destroyed. It’s amazing that Gothenburgers entered an empty library and treated it so lovingly.” The city leader has even suggested that this unusual Saturday serve as an accidental experiment to analyse the possibility of operating a totally automated library without staff. 4. Why did Elf feel surprised after entering the library? A. The library staff were in it. B. People kept reading on holidays. C. People came in without permission. D. It was in use though supposed to be closed. 5. What did Elf do that Saturday? A. She left the library open B. She asked the staff back. C. She apologized to the visitors. D. She read books in the library. 6. What do many Swedes think of the behavior of Gothenburg locals? A. It displays community spirit. B. It gives the library much uplift. C. It is a positive reaction to society. D. It strengthens trust between people. 7. What does the author want to convey through the story? A. People tend to show care for others. B. Life is always full of the unexpected. C. Libraries must be automated in the future. D. A library can bring out the best in people. C While we might like to think we would rush to someone’s assistance, we know from studies that often people hang back and this can have tragic consequences. One of the most famous examples of this is the tragic case of Kitty Genovese who was fatally stabbed (刺伤) in Kew Gardens, New York, in 1964. Subsequent investigations concluded that several people saw or heard what was happening, but did nothing to intervene. This has been termed the “bystander effect” — a well-known psychological phenomenon where individuals are less likely to offer help to someone when other people are present. The more people there are, the less likely they are to help. There are various factors contributing to this effect — people think that others will get involved or intervene. Afterwards people often say they did not feel qualified or senior or important enough to be the one to intervene. It is also partly down to “pluralistic (多元化的) ignorance” — since everyone is not reacting to the emergency, they don’t need to either; it’s not serious because no one else is doing anything. After a serious incident where people have been affected by the bystander effect, they are often horrified that they didn’t do anything—they can’t believe they had not realized it was more serious or that they didn’t think to get involved. The important thing to understand though is that other studies have shown that once people are aware of the bystander effect, they are less likely to be affected by it. Self-awareness is the best approach to it. When confronted with an emergency, think to yourself how you would behave if you were on your own. Ignore everyone else and how they are behaving and go with your courage — if you’d call an ambulance, do it. If you’d run for help, do it. If that’s how you would have behaved when you were on your own, then that’s probably the right course of action. 8. Why does the author mention “the tragic case of Kitty Genovese” in paragraph 2? A. To present a fact. B. To confirm a finding. C To predict a conclusion. D. To illustrate an approach. 9. Influenced by the bystander effect, people may ______. A. feel confident to intervene. B. tend to help people in need. C. be well aware of bad consequences. D. feel shocked after a serious incident. 10. What does the author suggest people do when faced with an emergency? A. Think twice. B. Follow others. C. Step in at once. D. Take action cautiously. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. Behave Yourself B. Don’t Be A Bystander C. Action in An Emergency D. Severity of Bystander Effect D A good conversation should proceed like a tennis match: players each take turns responding, knowing instinctively (本能的) when to speak and when to listen. This kind of complicated and back-and-forth talk is often considered to be possessed only by humans. However, according to a recent study, animals also seem to know when to speak and when to listen. The study involved over 300 animals including birds, mammals, insects, and frogs which practice turn-taking behavior. These animals alternate their call and response in a similar way humans communicate. Monkeys, for example, often exchange calls to locate each other in the wild and figure out whether they know one another. While forms of communication are mostly sound-based, several species have more creative forms of viewable communication. Baby monkeys let their parents know they want to be carried with arm gestures, while birds, insects and frogs can get their messages across through colorful displays. Kobin Kendrick, the main co-author on the study, says that making comparisons among animals that take turns when communicating can give us a better understanding of how this feature evolved in humans and our ancestors. “We know very little about the evolution and origin of the human language, so any possibility of gaining insight into it is worth going after,” he says. Additionally, while the idea of turn-taking might bring to mind a picture of orderly, well-mannered animals, Kendrick stresses that this isn’t always the case. Owl chicks may try to outdo each other by making louder sounds in an effort to attract favor from their mothers during feeding. “This can be seen as an exception to the rule, highlighting the importance of turn-taking in general,” says Kendrick. One problem with the study is that researchers themselves don’t know how to communicate with others outside their particular species of interest. Kendrick stresses another goal of the study is to create a wider framework that can bring together all the different researches on turn-taking, allowing scientists to conduct more cross-species comparisons. “We all believe strongly these fields can benefit from each other, and we hope the study will drive more crosstalk between humans and animals in the future,” says Kendrick. 12. What can we learn about the turn-taking behavior? A. It is a unique human quality. B. It is an acquired athletic skill. C. It occurs between familiar relations. D. It features complexity and interaction. 13. Which of the following is a form of visual intercommunication? A. Frogs show skin colors. B. Bees release smells. C. Eagles scream in the sky. D. Monkeys exchange calls. 14. What does the underlined word “outdo” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Entertain. B. Impress. C. Surpass. D. Warn. 15. What aspect of research does the last paragraph highlight? A. Research budget. B. Research range. C. Research frequency. D. Research background. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Role of Mass Media in Education In today’s advanced world, where everything is changing at lightning speed, mass media plays an important role. ___16___ It isn’t limited to the four walls of a classroom anymore.

That’s the way some adults look at troubled kids. A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high. David was made to feel this way almost every day in school. David was the most famous troublemaker in high school. He wasn’t confident and didn’t answer questions. From time to time he skipped classes and got into lots of fights. Teachers didn’t want to have him again the following year. However, things gradually changed during a weekend leadership meeting. All the students at school had been invited to sign up for ACE training, a program designed to have students become more involved in their communities. At the start of the meeting, David was literally standing outside the circle of students, against the back wall, with that “go ahead, impress me” look on his face. He didn’t readily join the discussion groups. But slowly, the interactive games drew him in the discussion. David started to join them and he really had great ideas. The other students in David’s group welcomed his comments. All of a sudden David felt like a part of the group. The next day, David was very active in all the sessions. By the end of the meeting, he had joined the Homeless Project team. He knew something about poverty, hunger and hopelessness. The other students on the team were impressed with his passionate concern and ideas. They elected David co-chairman of the team. The very first community service project organized by the Homeless Project team was to collect food for the homeless in the charge of David. But a group of teachers doubted whether this crucial beginning should be in the hands of David. The principal reminded them that the purpose of the ACE program was to uncover any positive passion that a student had and reinforce (加强) its practice until true change can take place. 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。 Two weeks later, David led 20 students in the team to collect food for the homeless. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After David’s picture appeared in the newspaper, everyone saw great changes in him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 CBABB 6-10 CCBAA 11-15 BACBC 16-20 ACBCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
