单元主题语境　人与社会——帮助他人 Love cannot remain by itself—it has no meaning.Love has to be put into action，and that action is service.—Mother Teresa 爱不能独自存在，它本身并无意义。爱必须付诸行动，而那一行动就是服务。 ——特蕾莎修女 The Well that Changed the World As a six-year-old Canadian schoolboy, Ryan had trouble believing the words spoken by his teacher that many people in developing African countries couldn’t get enough clean water. Young Ryan thought, “Life is easy for me, but hard for those people. Why don’t I help？” At first, his plan was to earn money to build a single well somewhere in Africa. He was told that it cost $2, 000 to build a well. Two thousand dollars was a lot of money, but Ryan didn’t give up. He started to ask for help from his classmates and neighbours and persuaded them to donate money. At the same time, a friend of Ryan’s mother helped make his story go public❶. After several months, Ryan had raised the $2, 000, with which a well was built near a primary school in Uganda. In Uganda, Ryan at last saw the finished well with his own eyes. But that was not all. He also saw hundreds of delighted students who had turned out❷ to welcome him. He really had made a difference for these children. He broke into❸ a joyful❹ smile. Later, Ryan’s experience led him to set up a foundation❺ to encourage more people to help. Many inspired people gave him their support. Ryan’s foundation continues to attract support from more and more people, so the work of building more wells can go on. Today, over 800, 000 people in 16 countries across Africa have benefited from the life-changing❻ gift of clean, safe water. Now, as an adult, Ryan says that the question to ask is not “Why don’t I help？”， but “How can I help today？”. This insight❼ grew from the determined attitude of a six-year-old boy who had the courage and perseverance❽ to make his dream a reality.

D．A cheerful junior student good at greeting others. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据文章第一句可知，食物配送活动的举办时间为每月的第三个星期三，因此排除A、B两项。根据文章结尾处“Minimum Age：18”可排除D项。根据Client Greeter/Registration及SKILLS部分的内容可知，善于交际且擅长分发食物的译员是这个活动的最佳人选。故选C。 B When Naomi Fisher took her eight-year-old son to the country park in Birmingham where she spent much of her childhood exploring with her friends，he asked why he was not allowed to go off by himself. “I couldn’t even give a good reason why not.It’s just not done any more; nobody lets their kids do that，” said Fisher，a community architect.“I had some conversations and it seemed my generation had all experienced that kind of play from seven or eight years old and yet it had virtually disappeared.” Fisher’s experience is not uncommon.A survey published this week reported that children typically are not allowed to play outside on their own until two years older than their parents’ generation were. Soon after，with the help of her friend，they set up Roam，a first-of-its-kind charity running sessions to help children with safe，unsupervised (无人监督的) play outside.At each session，up to 15 children，all under-12s，are given some ground rules—they must stay in groups of at least three at all times，for instance—before being allowed to roam (玩耍) alone for up to two hours. Volunteers keep tabs on them and count numbers on a regular basis，but do not interfere.They also run sessions with more supervision for younger children and those with additional needs.“A lot of our families have said they’ve seen that their children’s capabilities are much better than they thought，” said Fisher. When Roam surveyed parents，it found that although road danger and safety fears were key reasons why many did not let their children play alone，the more important reason was that parents felt their child would stand out and their parenting would be judged.“My biggest fear at the pilot sessions is that a member of the public might approach the children and say，‘You’re too young to be your own，’”said Fisher. 语篇解读　这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了一个组织帮助孩子们在无人监督的情况下能够在外面玩耍，而且让他们的家长意识到自己的孩子的能力要比自己想象的好得多。 4．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Parents giving a good reason. B．Children playing outside on their own. C．Children exploring with their parents. D．Parents communicating with their children. 答案　B 解析　代词指代题。由第一段中的“he asked why he was not allowed to go off by himself”以及第二段中的“...it seemed my generation had all experienced that kind of play from seven or eight years old”可知，it 指代上文的“孩子们自己在外面玩”。故选B项。 5．What do we know about Roam? A．It offers children academic sessions. B．It disciplines children to stay inside. C．It helps children display better abilities. D．It involves more supervision for older kids. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。由第四段中的“they set up Roam，...to help children with safe，unsupervised(无人监督的) play outside”可知，Roam 可以帮助孩子们在无人监督的情况下安全地在外面玩。再根据倒数第二段中“their children’s capabilities are much better than they thought”可知，它能帮助孩子们展示更好的能力。故选C项。 6．Why do many parents refuse to let their children play alone? A．They feel their children are too outstanding. B．They worry about children’s incompetence. C．They fear negative judgment on their parenting. D．They believe their children will break traffic laws. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。由最后一段中的“the more important reason was that parents felt their child would stand out and their parenting would be judged”可知，很多家长拒绝让孩子一个人玩，最主要的原因是怕自己对孩子的养育会受到评判，所以家长们主要是害怕对自己对孩子的养育的负面评价。故选C项。 7．What is the passage mainly about? A．How a community architect manages to found a charity. B．What children’s independent play means to their health. C．What parents should do to let go of their parenting plan. D．How a charity helps children gain the right to play alone. 答案　D 解析　主旨大意题。文章一开始讲家长不让孩子出去玩，之后讲 Roam 这个组织想出了能够让孩子出去玩的方法，而且让家长意识到让孩子独自出去玩的好处，因此这篇文章讲的是 Roam 这个组织是如何帮助孩子得到独自出去玩的权利的。故选D项。 C Do you feel lonely？If you do，you are not alone.It’s more than a personal mental health issue. Loneliness is a global issue.Half-a-million Japanese are suffering from social isolation.The UK recently appointed a minister for loneliness，the first in the world.In Australia，Victorian state MP Fiona Patten is calling for the same. What do cities have to do with loneliness？Think of the awkward silence in a lift full of passengers who never communicate.Now think of a playground where parents often begin chatting.It’s not that the built environment “causes” interaction，but it can certainly either enable or limit potential interaction. Can we think of different ways to be in the city to “cure” loneliness？I recently conducted a graduate design studio at the Melbourne School of Design.The students，using design as a research methodology(方法)，came up with potential architectural and urban responses to loneliness. Fanhui Ding came up with a student-run restaurant for the University of Melbourne.Students get credit working on the farms that supply the restaurant，which can be used to pay for a meal.People also get discounts for dining at the same table，encouraging students to interact over food.Given the many international students who suffer from loneliness，her concept used cooking，food and farming to cure loneliness. Some students deal with familiar cases，such as building “Puppy Society”，an app that connects a pet with multiple owners，designing more social interaction spaces in high-rise apartment buildings and redesigning supermarkets to make them places for people to visit on a Sunday morning. Beverley Wang looked at loneliness in the ageing population.She came up with a project called “Nurture”，for which she designed a kindergarten co-housed with a nursing home.Designing spaces for storytelling，she brought the elderly into the kindergarten as informal teaching assistants，giving them a sense of purpose. Moving beyond merely analyzing the problems，the research output shows that an alternative，less lonely future is indeed possible.Without claiming to solve loneliness，design can be an important tool in response to it. 语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了城市的孤独现象，并且在作者的主持下，毕业学生设计出来一些计划去减轻城市人群的孤独。 8．What can be inferred from paragraph 2? A．Half of the Japanese are living with loneliness. B．The UK attaches little importance to loneliness issues. C．Australia is likely to follow the UK’s example. D．Loneliness has been a primary concern globally. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句可知，澳大利亚可能会效仿英国的做法。故选C。 9．What can students do in Fanhui Ding’s design? A．Work in the restaurant to pay for meals. B．Pay less if they share tables with others. C．Gather credits for their college graduation. D．Establish international culture communication. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第五段第三句可知，在丁范辉的设计中，如果学生们能和别人共用一张桌子吃饭，支付的钱就会少一些。故选B。 10．How does the project “Nurture” benefit elder people? A．By providing them with working opportunities. B．By employing them as the formal staff. C．By asking children to tell them stories. D．By lifting their awareness of self-value. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的内容可判断出，“培育”项目通过提高长者对自我价值的认识而使他们受益。故选D。 11．What could be the best title for the passage? A．Key Principles of Designing City Buildings B．City’s Potential to Encourage Social Connection C．Good Urban Designs to Battle Social Loneliness D．Architectural Concepts to Ease Elders’ Loneliness 答案　C 解析　标题归纳题。通读全文尤其根据第四段的内容以及最后一段最后一句可知本文主要讲述了针对城市的孤独现象，毕业学生设计出来一些计划去减轻城市人群的孤独，故选C。 Ⅱ.七选五 Self-acceptance is to accept yourself unconditionally(无条件地)． 1 Accepting yourself can help you become more natural and real.However，if you don’t accept yourself，you will constantly feel unhappy about your past or yourself.So read on to get some practical suggestions on how to do it. Positive relationships are the first part of self-acceptance.People around you play an important role in your life.You need to surround yourself with people who accept you for whom you are. 2 Learn to forgive yourself for all your past faults or regrets.Everyone has their weaknesses and everyone makes mistakes.Accept all your choices or decisions you have made until now. 3 You might have had many dreams which were unrealized，but you need to forgive yourself now.Understand that you cannot control your past. Self-compassion(自我同情) and gratitude are two most important things for achieving self-acceptance. 4 That means being kind to yourself，treating yourself well and celebrating every win.Gratitude includes thanking and appreciating yourself for the person who you are and the things you achieve.Value all the good things you have about yourself. 5 Talk to yourself as you would talk to a friend.Encourage yourself by patting your shoulder for your achievements.Include positive statements in your day，such as “You are beautiful” and “Well done”．After all，only when you accept yourself can you accept others. A．Using positive self-talk can help a lot. B．Let go of the past and try to stop blaming yourself. C．Self-compassion involves not allowing sad thoughts to defeat you. D．Thinking that you must be perfect is harmful to self-acceptance. E．Accepting your weaknesses can really help you achieve self-acceptance. F．It means being aware of your own strengths and weaknesses and accepting yourself for whom you are. G．So always keep checking out your circle and understand whether the people around you are important or not. 1．答案　F 解析　空前一句解释了自我接纳的含义。F项(这意味着你要意识到自己的优点和缺点，接受真实的自己)是对上文的进一步解释，It指代上文的Self-acceptance。故选F。 2．答案　E 解析　空前一句提出要和接受真实的自己的人在一起。E项(接受你的缺点真的能帮助你实现自我接纳)说明和接受真实的自己的人在一起的原因，上下文语义连贯。故选E。 3．答案　B 解析　本段主要讲的是学会原谅自己过去的错误或遗憾，结合前后语境可知，B项(放开过去，试着停止责备自己)符合本段主题。故选B。 4．答案　C 解析　空前一句总述自我同情是在自我接纳中最重要的事情之一。C项(自我同情包括不让悲伤的想法打败你)进一步解释自我同情，承接上文。故选C。 5．答案　A 解析　本段讲述的是自我交谈。A项(使用积极的自我对话会有很大帮助)引出下文。故选A。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
