Unit2 Making a Difference阅读完形训练 - 2024-2025学年高一英语专项提高训练必刷好题 （外研版2019必修第三册） Passage1.It was just like any other evening. I did the radio show, chatted with listeners and went through e­mails. Except for working 35 hours a week, I spent almost my other time with my kids. Though my husband did well in taking care of them, I still wanted to get more involved in family activities. One day, I got an e­mail. The sender said her name is Winifred. She lived in the Buduburam refugee camp (难民营) in Ghana. She had to take care of three small children, but she couldn't afford to buy food or water for them. And she learned that I had adopted (收养) two African children and thought I might be concerned about the problems in Africa and give her some support. Actually, I knew nothing about Africa. So I turned to a friend of mine for help. As a member of a charity (慈善机构) that aimed to help poor people in Africa, he could help me make sure whether Winifred's words were true or not. Later, I learned that Winifred and her three children suffered from hungry and had no place to sleep. Although having asked for help, they didn't receive any reply. After hearing that, I decided to help this family. In addition, my friend told me many things that happened in Africa, which made me want to help more people like Winifred. I had a picture in my head of what I thought I would see. But the reality of the Buduburam refugee camp was nothing that I could have ever prepared myself for. The local government turned a blind eye to the refugees living here. And I found Winifred and her family among more than 42,000 people crowded into 140 acres, with no clean water and toilets. Most people ate one meal a day. Later, I returned home to Seattle where I'd never gone hungry and never lacked water, realizing how lucky I was! And I founded an organization called Point Hope to bring water and more hope to people at the Buduburam refugee camp. 1．What can we know about the author from Paragraph 1?

Passage2.In her tiny Athens apartment, 93-year-old Ioanna Matsouka has knitted (编织) thousands of brightly colored scarves (围巾) for children in need from Greece to Ukraine, and she has no plans to quit just yet. “Until I die, I will be knitting,” Matsouka says. Since she took up knitting in the 1990s, Matsouka has easily made over 3,000 scarves, her daughter estimates. In the hallway by the door, shopping bags filled with her latest creations await their new home. A knitted blanket is thrown over the sofa where she spends her days. Firstly given out to people around her as a gift, the scarves were later donated to children’s shelters across Greece as the number of knitted ones grew. Then, through friends, they reached children in Bosnia and Ukraine. The latest batch of 70 scarves went to a refugee (难民) camp near Athens this winter via the UN refugee agency. Her daughter, Angeliki, tells about drawings and mails that her mother has received over the years: “Thank you, be well, keep going. You gave joy to children, you gave joy to people.” That’s her only reward: a letter, a few words. Matsouka knits one scarf a day, now with small imperfections. Her vision is damaged and she suffers from severe facial pain, a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia (三叉神经痛). Angeliki says her mother is an example of resilience and optimism. Matsouka wakes up every morning, drinks a glass of milk, puts on her pearl earrings and gets to work. She takes a break for lunch and a nap, and then painstakingly knits into the night. She may have even found the secret to a long life in it, she says. “It’s the happiness I get from giving.” she says, sitting beside a big blue bag brimming with yarn (纱线). “Until I die, I will be knitting,” Matsouka says. Her knitting needles click through her expert fingers, her nails painted red. “It brings me joy to share them.” 1．What did the scarves begin as? A．Presents to friends. B．Attempts for fundraising.

In the early days, Sistering was created to make resources that could be used by women and children who only had to stay in emergency shelters (应急避难所) overnight. During the day, they had nowhere to go and were often left on the street. It was clear that for homeless women, there needed to be a daytime space that would provide them with resources, a meal, and, most importantly, support to find stability (稳定). Today, the problem of women's homelessness in Toronto is getting more and more serious.The lack of affordable housing, the impact of COVID-19, and cuts to social services have all led to a growing homeless population of women now close to 10,000. The organization offers a range of services to help women find stability. All services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. One of Sistering's most important strengths is its promise to treat each woman who comes through its doors with respect and understanding. The staff says that the road taken by the homeless is often long and difficult. They work with women to know their needs and help them create a plan to move forward. Despite the services that Sistering provides, the need for resources for women experiencing homelessness in Toronto continues to grow. Sistering understands that they cannot reach every woman in need by themselves, which is why they are expanding (扩大) their services through Mobile Outreach and the creation of satellite services around the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The Mobile Outreach program brings Sistering's services directly to women in need in their communities. If you are interested in supporting Sistering's work, there are many ways to do so. Donations of money, time, and resources are always welcome, and you can also help by spreading the word about the services they offer. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of homeless women in Toronto and create a place of hope for those who need it most. 1．What do we know about Sistering in its early days?

Passage6.Barbara Lakin, a former sweater designer living in New York, has breathed new life into special Barbies. She spends hundreds of hours in sewing (缝纫) unique and well-designed dresses for old Barbies that are donated by people who are supportive of her effort. The little girls who are going to get these toys are migrants, most of whom have traveled with their family for months to get to the US, usually escaping from poor economies and dangerous situations at home. Lakin knows it is hard to imagine what these children have gone through. She believes having a toy, especially for a child in these conditions, is really important. It’s something that can comfort them and something that they can hold close. While those toys will never take away the trauma they have experienced or the difficulties they still face at present, Lakin said the toys do make a great difference. It is more than just a Barbie toy; at least for a moment, these young migrants can be simply children again. She thinks that is particularly important to them. “I get a lot out of it, too,” Lakin said truly. “I personally like to hand them out because I love being able to say, ‘I made this for you’, and the smiles and the happiness they gave me. It’s moments like these that make it all worthwhile.” Lakin does her best to source Barbies and takes her creative process seriously, carefully sewing the Barbie’s clothes. She has given away nearly 20 Barbies so far, which are made up of toys in a variety of shapes and sizes, and she hopes people will donate more. “It shows these kids we care about them a lot and that we’re not just giving them sandwiches and water and essential clothes. It’s an extra special thing, and I think that they deserve it,” commented Lakin. 1．Who will most probably receive Lakin’s Barbie? A．Tanaka, a Japanese girl, who is crazy about Barbies. B．Olivia, an American girl, whose family suffers poverty. C．Talia, an Israeli girl, who is still experiencing dangerous situations at home. D．Yara, a Syrian girl, who moved to New York to avoid the harm from war. 2．The underlined word “trauma” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______ . A．disaster B．pleasure C．suffering D．stress 3．What does Lakin think of giving away the Barbies? A．It makes her a hero. B．It is well worth praising. C．It is a win-win behavior. D．It brings her much money. 4．Which of the following best describes Lakin? A．Patient. B．Serious. C．Grateful. D．Caring. Passage7.Rethink Food, a New York-based organization, is working hard to cut food waste and fight hunger by distributing (分发) food from restaurants and businesses to those in need. “We hope our example can show that it’s not just possible, but totally practical to achieve a fairer food system, ” co-founder and CEO Matt Jozwiak said. Across the US, 38 million people struggle to get nutritious (有营养的) food, but 42 percent of the nation’s food supply goes uneaten, according to Rethink Food’s website. Since Jozwiak started Rethink Food in 2017 with his friend Daniel Humm, the project has prepared and distributed more than 26 million meals and saved more than 2.5 million pounds of food waste - but the project has changed over the years. “The year of 2020 marked a turning point for the food industry as a whole; we were no exception. As restaurants closed and people became jobs, food insecurity (无保障) grew. Rethink Food pivoted its model to support both struggling restaurants and food-insecure communities; we began buying meals directly from local restaurants to distribute to people in need,” said Jozwiak. At the same time, Rethink Food began working not only with restaurants, but community-based organizations, food banks and other groups to ensure meals reached the needy. It also developed a program to help restaurants rehire workers and provide meals at affordable prices. Weekly, Rethink Food receives nearly 12, 000 pounds of food from partners like Whole Foods and Chelsea Market restaurants. Rethink Food collects food throughout the morning from these restaurants before dropping it off at its kitchen. Then, the organization’s team create a menu, and prepare meals for delivery — made in the style of family cooking, but by cooks. “We take great care to make sure the meals at our Sustainable Community Kitchen are delicious, nutritious, and made with love, ” said Jozwiak. 1．What does Rethink Food aim to do? A．Provide well-paid jobs. B．Encourage a healthy life. C．Control the food prices. D．Feed communities in need. 2．What does the underlined word “pivoted” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Identified. B．Changed. C．Downloaded. D．Recommended. 3．How do Rethink Food’s team deal with the collected food? A．They bring it to their homes. B．They turn it into family-style meals. C．They have it reasonably priced. D．They sell it at their own restaurants. 4．What did Jozwiak say about the meals at the Sustainable Community Kitchen? A．They are too expensive. B．They are delivered at night. C．They are made at home. D．They are prepared with love. Passage8.On July 22, a fire suddenly broke out in Jasper National Park, spreading quickly and causing significant damage across the Canadian forest. Among those facing the risky situation was 18-year-old Colleen Knull,a volunteer firefighter working a summer job as part of the kitchen staff in Jasper Lodge. Knull has less than one year of experience as a firefighter, and was off duty on that July 22 night, but she did not hesitate to take the lead after receiving the order to evacuate (撤离). The volunteer firefighter quickly knocked on the cabin doors at the lodge, informing the guests who were asleep of the danger. Then she searched for other campers in the area. She led a total of 16 people through a difficult four-hour hike in the dark, guiding them all to safety. Rebecca Tocher, one of the evacuees, recalled how Knull took charge and made sure that everyone was working together during the tense and frightening hike. Tocher said, “There was intense smoke, my eyes were burning, and there was ash falling constantly. Despite the challenges, she remained calm and led us the whole way.” Fortunately, Knull was familiar with the trail. “I had previously ridden up on a horse up to that lodge on that same trail. And throughout the way, my employer and I had cut logs uphill,” she recalls. “So, I knew there would be 67 cut logs on the way down.” In addition to counting the logs, Knull also relied on horse tracks and horse waste to guide the group safely through the dark to where her truck was parked. Knull managed to pack all 16 people inside and drove them to safety without any serious injuries. Knull, who is training to become a full-time firefighter, demonstrates that bravery and resourcefulness are essential in any dangerous situation. But what truly sets her apart is her sympathy for others. She explains, “I do it because, at the end of the day, I know I’d want to go home — but I’d also want someone there to help.” 1．What did Knull initially do after receiving the evacuation order? A．She searched campsites nearby. B．She messaged other firefighters. C．She evacuated her kitchen workers. D．She awakened the guests at the lodge. 2．What impressed Tocher most about Knull? A．Her good physical quality. B．Her remarkable leadership. C．Her patience with the hikers. D．Her resistance to heavy smoke. 3．How did Knull walk the 16 people downhill? A．By applying her tracking skills. B．By clearing the path of cut logs. C．By getting a horse leading the way. D．By contacting rescue crew for help. 4．Why does the author cite Knull’s words in the last paragraph? A．To praise her ambition. B．To express her frankness. C．To show her daily routine. D．To highlight her kindness. Passage9.When Darrell was young, Thanksgiving meant 30 neighbors sharing a potluck meal (百乐餐) in the family driveway. “My parents worked at a golf course. They’d invite all the workers to Thanksgiving dinner.” It has become an essential part of their family life. Today, Darrell continues the tradition at his restaurant, called Mark BBQ, in Colchester, Vermont, where a mix of barbecue and community service has made it a popular and special place. Colchester is a small town on the shores of Lake Champlain, just north of Burlington. Local people know Mark BBQ for its brisket burgers, pulled-pork sandwiches and Tex-Mex meatloaf. For many, Mark BBQ is more than just a place to eat; it’s also a crucial stop on their journey to a new life. The idea for the Recovery Kitchen Programme, led by Darell, was inspired by an addict named Casey DeGuise. Before getting a chance to work at Mark BBQ, Casey was rejected 35 times. Since then, he has proven to be a valuable employee. This programme aims to bring addicts into the kitchen to develop service industry skills. It offers not only job training but also support in areas like money management and career planning, which helps addicts return to society and lead normal lives. Darrell knows that a little help can go a long way. He recalls, “I went through a dark period when I was drinking too much. I felt lost and alone. But later I realized if someone had helped me then, things would have been different. So, I decided to be that helping hand for others.” Now, he keeps a fridge stocked with free food by Mark BBQ’s front door for anyone in need. “If we can pay the bills and staff, we’re happy,” says Darrell. “If we can help the community, we’re even happier.” So far, Darrell has handed out more than 170,000 free meals. 1．What’s the tradition of Darrell’s family?

Heather Sant, 36, was driving her white 2012 Mazda on the road with her nine-year-old daughter and ten-year-old son in the back. Suddenly, a red pickup truck cut them off. Sant turned the wheel hard to the right, sending the Mazda sliding off the road and down an embankment (路堤) that ended in a drop-off after about 50 feet. If the car didn’t stop, it would take off and dive into the road some 20 feet below. Then a bit of luck: as the car raced toward the edge, its under carriage got stuck, stopping it suddenly. The people inside, however, were far from safe. The car had come to rest on top of a retaining wall (护墙), balancing on the edge of disaster. One sudden move by anyone inside could throw the car off balance and send it over. Jacob Rodriguez watched everything in terror from the nearby truck company where he works. As an experienced sailor, just like every time he met shipwreck, he whispered a sailing saying “Ship, shipmates, self”. Then immediately he and four other men ran to the car. They leaped onto the trunk (后备箱) to balance the weight as the terrified kids in the back seat watched. Meanwhile, Julio and his nephew March, were driving to their jobs at nearby Premier Auto motive. Julio jumped out of the car to help while March went to the shop, grabbed a strong rope, and returned to the car. He tied the Mazda to an F-350 truck that had been driven over by one of the other rescuers. With the car secured, the group carefully opened the back doors and helped the children out. But their leaving changed the cars’ weight, causing it to tip forward. The men, still on the trunk, begged Sant to jump into the back seat. She did and then inched out of the back door. Finally, the men carefully got off the trunk. Everyone was safe. “Another foot,” Rodriguez told USA Today, “and this would be a different story.” 1．What most probably caused the traffic accident?

I did the radio show, chatted with listeners and went through e­mails. Except for working 35 hours a week, I spent almost my other time with my kids. Though my husband did well in taking care of them, I still wanted to get more involved in family activities. One day, I got an e­mail. The sender said her name is Winifred. She lived in the Buduburam refugee camp (难民营) in Ghana. She had to take care of three small children, but she couldn't afford to buy food or water for them. And she learned that I had adopted (收养) two African children and thought I might be concerned about the problems in Africa and give her some support. Actually, I knew nothing about Africa. So I turned to a friend of mine for help. As a member of a charity (慈善机构) that aimed to help poor people in Africa, he could help me make sure whether Winifred's words were true or not. Later, I learned that Winifred and her three children suffered from hungry and had no place to sleep. Although having asked for help, they didn't receive any reply. After hearing that, I decided to help this family. In addition, my friend told me many things that happened in Africa, which made me want to help more people like Winifred. I had a picture in my head of what I thought I would see. But the reality of the Buduburam refugee camp was nothing that I could have ever prepared myself for. The local government turned a blind eye to the refugees living here. And I found Winifred and her family among more than 42,000 people crowded into 140 acres, with no clean water and toilets. Most people ate one meal a day. Later, I returned home to Seattle where I'd never gone hungry and never lacked water, realizing how lucky I was! And I founded an organization called Point Hope to bring water and more hope to people at the Buduburam refugee camp. 1．What can we know about the author from Paragraph 1? A．She was bored with her present job. B．Her job failed to support her family. C．She tried to keep a balance between her work and family. D．Her husband wanted her to spend more time with their kids. 2．What did Winifred want the author to do for her? A．Take care of her kids. B．Ease her difficult life. C．Adopt some African kids. D．Encourage other people to help her. 3．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A．The author wanted to join a reliable charity. B．The author's friend praised her for helping Winifred. C．The author's friend advised her to volunteer in Africa. D．The author was careful about the truth of Winifred's story. 4．What does the author say about the Buduburam refugee camp in Paragraph 4? A．Its living conditions were shocking. B．It mainly hosted women and children. C．It was well managed by the local government. D．Its refugees wanted to gain health knowledge. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者偶然帮助了一个难民并开始了自己的慈善事业。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Except for working 35 hours a week, I spent almost my other time with my kids. Though my husband did well in taking care of them, I still wanted to get more involved in family activities. (除了每周工作35个小时，我几乎把其他时间都花在孩子身上了。虽然我的丈夫在照顾他们方面做得很好，但我仍然想更多地参与家庭活动。)”可知作者除了工作，还想更多地参与家庭活动，故推断作者想要平衡好她的工作和家庭。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She had to take care of three small children, but she couldn't afford to buy food or water for them. And she learned that I had adopted (收养) two African children and thought I might be concerned about the problems in Africa and give her some support. (她必须照顾三个小孩，但她买不起食物和水给他们。她得知我收养了两个非洲孩子，以为我可能关心非洲的问题，会给她一些支持。)”可知，Winifred想让作者减轻一些她的生活压力。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“As a member of a charity (慈善机构) that aimed to help poor people in Africa, he could help me make sure whether Winifred's words were true or not. Later, I learned that Winifred and her three children suffered from hungry and had no place to sleep. Although having asked for help, they didn't receive any reply. After hearing that, I decided to help this family. (作为一个旨在帮助非洲穷人的慈善机构的成员，他可以帮我确定温妮弗雷德的话是真是假。后来，我了解到温妮弗雷德和她的三个孩子挨饿，没有地方睡觉。尽管他们请求帮助，但没有得到任何答复。听了这话，我决定帮助这个家庭。)”可推断，作者对Winifred告诉她的故事抱着谨慎的态度。故选D。 4．推理判断题。 根据第四段中的“And I found Winifred and her family among more than 42,000 people crowded into 140 acres, with no clean water and toilets. Most people ate one meal a day. (我发现维尼弗雷德和她的家人和42000多人挤在140英亩的土地上，没有干净的水和厕所。大多数人一天只吃一顿饭。)”可推断，Buduburam难民营的条件很艰难，令人震惊。故选A。 Passage2.In her tiny Athens apartment, 93-year-old Ioanna Matsouka has knitted (编织) thousands of brightly colored scarves (围巾) for children in need from Greece to Ukraine, and she has no plans to quit just yet. “Until I die, I will be knitting,” Matsouka says. Since she took up knitting in the 1990s, Matsouka has easily made over 3,000 scarves, her daughter estimates. In the hallway by the door, shopping bags filled with her latest creations await their new home. A knitted blanket is thrown over the sofa where she spends her days. Firstly given out to people around her as a gift, the scarves were later donated to children’s shelters across Greece as the number of knitted ones grew. Then, through friends, they reached children in Bosnia and Ukraine. The latest batch of 70 scarves went to a refugee (难民) camp near Athens this winter via the UN refugee agency. Her daughter, Angeliki, tells about drawings and mails that her mother has received over the years: “Thank you, be well, keep going. You gave joy to children, you gave joy to people.” That’s her only reward: a letter, a few words. Matsouka knits one scarf a day, now with small imperfections. Her vision is damaged and she suffers from severe facial pain, a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia (三叉神经痛). Angeliki says her mother is an example of resilience and optimism. Matsouka wakes up every morning, drinks a glass of milk, puts on her pearl earrings and gets to work. She takes a break for lunch and a nap, and then painstakingly knits into the night. She may have even found the secret to a long life in it, she says. “It’s the happiness I get from giving.” she says, sitting beside a big blue bag brimming with yarn (纱线). “Until I die, I will be knitting,” Matsouka says. Her knitting needles click through her expert fingers, her nails painted red. “It brings me joy to share them.” 1．What did the scarves begin as? A．Presents to friends. B．Attempts for fundraising. C．Donation to a refugee camp. D．Supplies for children’s shelters. 2．What can we learn about Matsouka from paragraph 4? A．She gives in to her seriously damaged vision. B．She wakes up every morning due to facial pain. C．She continues knitting despite her health challenges. D．She is only rewarded with drawings and mails from her daughter. 3．What does the underlined word “resilience” mean? A．Persistence. B．Ambition. C．Appreciation. D．Passion. 4．What message does the article mainly convey? A．The eye is bigger than the belly. B．Giving enriches us more than accepting ever could. C．An early bird catches the worm. D．Time and tide wait for no man. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了93岁老人Ioanna Matsouka坚持编织围巾捐赠儿童的故事。 1．细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Firstly given out to people around her as a gift, the scarves were later donated to children’s shelters across Greece as the number of knitted ones grew. (起初，这些围巾是作为礼物送给她身边的人，随着编织数量的增多，后来被捐赠给了希腊各地的儿童收容所)”可知，这些围巾最初是作为送给朋友的礼物。故选A。 2．细节理解题。由文章第四段中“Her vision is damaged and she suffers from severe facial pain, a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia (三叉神经痛).(她视力受损，还饱受严重的面部疼痛折磨，也就是三叉神经痛)”及“Matsouka wakes up every morning, drinks a glass of milk, puts on her pearl earrings and gets to work. She takes a break for lunch and a nap, and then painstakingly knits into the night.(Matsouka每天早上醒来，喝一杯牛奶，戴上她的珍珠耳环，然后开始工作。她会在午餐时间休息一会儿，小睡片刻，然后不辞辛劳地编织到深夜)”可推知，尽管面临健康挑战，Matsouka仍然坚持编织。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。由文章第四段中“Her vision is damaged and she suffers from severe facial pain, a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia (三叉神经痛). Angeliki says her mother is an example of resilience and optimism. (她视力受损，还饱受严重的面部疼痛折磨，也就是三叉神经痛)”及“Matsouka wakes up every morning, drinks a glass of milk, puts on her pearl earrings and gets to work. She takes a break for lunch and a nap, and then painstakingly knits into the night.(Matsouka每天早上醒来，喝一杯牛奶，戴上她的珍珠耳环，然后开始工作。她会在午餐时间休息一会儿，小睡片刻，然后不辞辛劳地编织到深夜)”可知，Matsouka尽管面临健康挑战但仍然坚持编织围巾，Angeliki仍称她是resilience和乐观的榜样，由此推断resilience意为“坚韧不拔，毅力”，与Persistence“锲而不舍，坚持”意思相近。故选A。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据文章最后一段“She may have even found the secret to a long life in it, she says. “It’s the happiness I get from giving.” she says, sitting beside a big blue bag brimming with yarn (纱线). “Until I die, I will be knitting,” Matsouka says. Her knitting needles click through her expert fingers, her nails painted red. “It brings me joy to share them.” (她说，她甚至可能从中找到了长寿的秘诀。“这是我从给予中获得的快乐。” 她坐在一个装满纱线的蓝色大袋子旁说道。“我会一直编织，直到生命尽头。” Matsouka说。她的织针在她熟练的手指间嗒嗒作响，她的指甲涂成了红色。“分享这些围巾给我带来了快乐。”)”可知，文章主要讲述了93岁的Ioanna Matsouka为有需要的孩子们编织围巾的善举，而Ioanna Matsouka也认为自己长寿的秘诀就是给予，文章主要传达了“给予比接受更能丰富我们的生活”的主题思想。故选B。 Passage3.For 43 years, Sistering has been providing basic services to women experiencing homelessness in Toronto. In the early days, Sistering was created to make resources that could be used by women and children who only had to stay in emergency shelters (应急避难所) overnight. During the day, they had nowhere to go and were often left on the street. It was clear that for homeless women, there needed to be a daytime space that would provide them with resources, a meal, and, most importantly, support to find stability (稳定). Today, the problem of women's homelessness in Toronto is getting more and more serious.The lack of affordable housing, the impact of COVID-19, and cuts to social services have all led to a growing homeless population of women now close to 10,000. The organization offers a range of services to help women find stability. All services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. One of Sistering's most important strengths is its promise to treat each woman who comes through its doors with respect and understanding. The staff says that the road taken by the homeless is often long and difficult. They work with women to know their needs and help them create a plan to move forward. Despite the services that Sistering provides, the need for resources for women experiencing homelessness in Toronto continues to grow. Sistering understands that they cannot reach every woman in need by themselves, which is why they are expanding (扩大) their services through Mobile Outreach and the creation of satellite services around the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The Mobile Outreach program brings Sistering's services directly to women in need in their communities. If you are interested in supporting Sistering's work, there are many ways to do so. Donations of money, time, and resources are always welcome, and you can also help by spreading the word about the services they offer. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of homeless women in Toronto and create a place of hope for those who need it most. 1．What do we know about Sistering in its early days? A．It offered round-the-clock service. B．It focused on both children and women. C．It started its service in several cities besides Toronto. D．It once stopped providing service because of the spread of disease. 2．What does Sistering want to do through Mobile Outreach? A．Broaden their services. B．Look for govemnment support. C．Provide their services to men. D．Create a medical organization. 3．What does the author do in the last paragraph? A．Explain how Sistering is run. B．Tell people how to help women. C．Suggest ways of supporting Sistering. D．Share the reasons for helping women. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．The long road to stability B．A light for homeless women C．The great need to help women D．The growing problem of homelessness 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Sistering致力于帮助无家可归的妇女，为她们提供服务。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“In the early days, Sistering was created to make resources that could be used by women and children who only had to stay in emergency shelters (应急避难所)overnight. (成立之初，姊妹会的目的是为那些只需要在紧急避难所过夜的妇女和儿童提供资源。)”可知，Sistering成立初期致力于帮助在应急避难所过夜的妇女和小孩，即关注妇女儿童。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Sistering understands that they cannot reach every woman in need by themselves, which is why they are expanding (扩大) their services through Mobile Outreach and the creation of satellite services around the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The Mobile Outreach program brings Sistering's services directly to women in need in their communities. (姐妹会明白，她们无法单凭自己的力量接触到每一位需要帮助的妇女，这就是为什么她们正在通过移动推广和在大多伦多地区（GTA）周围建立卫星服务来扩大服务范围。流动外展计划将姊妹会的服务直接带给社区中有需要的妇女。)”可知，姊妹会想通过移动外展拓宽他们的服务，让服务可以覆盖到更多需要帮助的妇女。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“If you are interested in supporting Sistering's work, there are many ways to do so. Donations of money, time, and resources are always welcome, and you can also help by spreading the word about the services they offer. (如果你有兴趣支持姐妹会的工作，有很多方法可以做到。金钱、时间和资源的捐赠总是受欢迎的，你也可以通过宣传他们提供的服务来帮助他们。)”可知，作者在最后一段提出了几个建议，即如何支持姐妹会的工作。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“For 43 years, Sistering has been providing basic services to women experiencing homelessness in Toronto. (3年来，Sistering一直在为多伦多无家可归的妇女提供基本服务。)”可知，文章主要讲述Sistering为无家可归的的妇女提供服务，帮助她们渡过难关，让她们感受到理解与尊重、温暖与光亮。因此文章最好的标题“Sistering为无家可归的妇女点亮一盏灯灯”。故选B。 Passage4.Green Living Campaign: Volunteer Projects Join our Green Living Campaign and take part in meaningful projects that contribute to a sustainable future.

She spends hundreds of hours in sewing (缝纫) unique and well-designed dresses for old Barbies that are donated by people who are supportive of her effort. The little girls who are going to get these toys are migrants, most of whom have traveled with their family for months to get to the US, usually escaping from poor economies and dangerous situations at home. Lakin knows it is hard to imagine what these children have gone through. She believes having a toy, especially for a child in these conditions, is really important. It’s something that can comfort them and something that they can hold close. While those toys will never take away the trauma they have experienced or the difficulties they still face at present, Lakin said the toys do make a great difference. It is more than just a Barbie toy; at least for a moment, these young migrants can be simply children again. She thinks that is particularly important to them. “I get a lot out of it, too,” Lakin said truly. “I personally like to hand them out because I love being able to say, ‘I made this for you’, and the smiles and the happiness they gave me. It’s moments like these that make it all worthwhile.” Lakin does her best to source Barbies and takes her creative process seriously, carefully sewing the Barbie’s clothes. She has given away nearly 20 Barbies so far, which are made up of toys in a variety of shapes and sizes, and she hopes people will donate more. “It shows these kids we care about them a lot and that we’re not just giving them sandwiches and water and essential clothes. It’s an extra special thing, and I think that they deserve it,” commented Lakin. 1．Who will most probably receive Lakin’s Barbie? A．Tanaka, a Japanese girl, who is crazy about Barbies. B．Olivia, an American girl, whose family suffers poverty. C．Talia, an Israeli girl, who is still experiencing dangerous situations at home. D．Yara, a Syrian girl, who moved to New York to avoid the harm from war. 2．The underlined word “trauma” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______ . A．disaster B．pleasure C．suffering D．stress 3．What does Lakin think of giving away the Barbies? A．It makes her a hero. B．It is well worth praising. C．It is a win-win behavior. D．It brings her much money. 4．Which of the following best describes Lakin? A．Patient. B．Serious. C．Grateful. D．Caring. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是纽约的一位前毛衣设计师Barbara Lakin如何通过自己的努力，为来美移民小女孩捐赠并亲手缝制芭比娃娃，为她们带去欢乐和安慰的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“The little girls who are going to get these toys are migrants, most of whom have traveled with their family for months to get to the US, usually escaping from poor economies and dangerous situations at home.(得到这些玩具的小女孩都是移民，她们大多是为了逃避国内的贫困经济和危险情况，与家人一起旅行了几个月才来到美国。)”可知，Lakin的芭比娃娃主要是给那些逃离贫困和危险情况的移民小女孩，因此最有可能收到Lakin的芭比娃娃的是Yara，一个叙利亚女孩，她和家人搬到纽约以避免战争的伤害。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据第一段“The little girls who are going to get these toys are migrants, most of whom have traveled with their family for months to get to the US, usually escaping from poor economies and dangerous situations at home.(得到这些玩具的小女孩都是移民，她们大多是为了逃避国内的贫困经济和危险情况，与家人一起旅行了几个月才来到美国。)”，第二段“they have experienced(他们经历了)”和“or the difficulties they still face at present(或者他们目前仍然面临的困难)”可知，划线词所在句子表示“虽然这些玩具永远无法消除他们所经历的创伤或他们目前仍然面临的困难，但Lakin说，这些玩具确实会带来很大的不同”，划线词trauma的意思是“痛苦经历，创伤”，和suffering意思相近。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段““I get a lot out of it, too,” Lakin said truly. “I personally like to hand them out because I love being able to say, ‘I made this for you’, and the smiles and the happiness they gave me. It’s moments like these that make it all worthwhile.”(“我也从中得到了很多，”Lakin真诚地说。“我个人喜欢把它们分发出去，因为我喜欢能够说，‘我为你做了这个’，以及它们给我带来的微笑和快乐。只有这样的时刻，一切才值得。”)”可知，Lakin认为赠送芭比娃娃是双赢的行为。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It shows these kids we care about them a lot and that we’re not just giving them sandwiches and water and essential clothes. It’s an extra special thing, and I think that they deserve it(这表明我们非常关心这些孩子，我们不只是给他们三明治、水和基本的衣服。这是一件特别的事情，我认为他们值得拥有它)”可知，Lakin是关心他人的，因此可用caring来描述Lakin。故选D。 Passage7.Rethink Food, a New York-based organization, is working hard to cut food waste and fight hunger by distributing (分发) food from restaurants and businesses to those in need. “We hope our example can show that it’s not just possible, but totally practical to achieve a fairer food system, ” co-founder and CEO Matt Jozwiak said. Across the US, 38 million people struggle to get nutritious (有营养的) food, but 42 percent of the nation’s food supply goes uneaten, according to Rethink Food’s website. Since Jozwiak started Rethink Food in 2017 with his friend Daniel Humm, the project has prepared and distributed more than 26 million meals and saved more than 2.5 million pounds of food waste - but the project has changed over the years. “The year of 2020 marked a turning point for the food industry as a whole; we were no exception. As restaurants closed and people became jobs, food insecurity (无保障) grew. Rethink Food pivoted its model to support both struggling restaurants and food-insecure communities; we began buying meals directly from local restaurants to distribute to people in need,” said Jozwiak. At the same time, Rethink Food began working not only with restaurants, but community-based organizations, food banks and other groups to ensure meals reached the needy. It also developed a program to help restaurants rehire workers and provide meals at affordable prices. Weekly, Rethink Food receives nearly 12, 000 pounds of food from partners like Whole Foods and Chelsea Market restaurants. Rethink Food collects food throughout the morning from these restaurants before dropping it off at its kitchen. Then, the organization’s team create a menu, and prepare meals for delivery — made in the style of family cooking, but by cooks. “We take great care to make sure the meals at our Sustainable Community Kitchen are delicious, nutritious, and made with love, ” said Jozwiak. 1．What does Rethink Food aim to do?

(Rethink Food 是一家总部位于纽约的组织，致力于通过将餐厅和企业的食物分发给有需要的人来减少食物浪费和对抗饥饿。)”可知，Rethink Food组织分发食物以减少浪费和对抗饥饿。由此可知，Rethink Food旨在给有需要的社区提供食物。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据画线词前文“The year of 2020 marked a turning point for the food industry as a whole; we were no exception. As restaurants closed and people became jobs, food insecurity (无保障) grew. (2020年对整个食品行业来说是一个转折点；我们也不例外。随着餐馆关闭，人们失业，食品无保障问题加剧。)”以及划线词所在的后半句话“support both struggling restaurants and food-insecure communities; we began buying meals directly from local restaurants to distribute to people in need, (支持陷入困境的餐馆和粮食不安全的社区；我们开始直接从当地餐馆购买食物，分发给有需要的人)”可知，随着餐馆关闭，人们失业，粮食不安全加剧。所以Rethink Food改变了它的模式，以支持陷入困境的餐馆和粮食不安全的社区，开始直接从当地餐馆购买食物，分发给有需要的人。由此可知，pivoted意思是“改变”。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Then, the organization’s team create a menu, and prepare meals for delivery - made in the style of family cooking, but by cooks. (然后，该组织的团队会制定菜单，并准备用于配送的餐食——这些餐食以家庭烹饪的风格制作，但由厨师完成。)”可知，Rethink Food的团队收集食物后，会制定菜单并准备送餐，这些餐食是由厨师以家庭烹饪的风格制作的。由此可知，Rethink Food的团队把收集来的食物做成家庭式饭菜。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段““We take great care to make sure the meals at our Sustainable Community Kitchen are delicious, nutritious, and made with love, ” said Jozwiak. (乔兹维亚克说：“我们非常用心地确保我们可持续社区厨房里的餐食既美味可口、富有营养，又饱含爱意。”)” 可知，Jozwiak说他们非常用心确保可持续社区厨房的餐食美味、有营养，并且是带着爱制作的。故选D。 Passage8.On July 22, a fire suddenly broke out in Jasper National Park, spreading quickly and causing significant damage across the Canadian forest. Among those facing the risky situation was 18-year-old Colleen Knull,a volunteer firefighter working a summer job as part of the kitchen staff in Jasper Lodge. Knull has less than one year of experience as a firefighter, and was off duty on that July 22 night, but she did not hesitate to take the lead after receiving the order to evacuate (撤离). The volunteer firefighter quickly knocked on the cabin doors at the lodge, informing the guests who were asleep of the danger. Then she searched for other campers in the area. She led a total of 16 people through a difficult four-hour hike in the dark, guiding them all to safety. Rebecca Tocher, one of the evacuees, recalled how Knull took charge and made sure that everyone was working together during the tense and frightening hike. Tocher said, “There was intense smoke, my eyes were burning, and there was ash falling constantly. Despite the challenges, she remained calm and led us the whole way.” Fortunately, Knull was familiar with the trail. “I had previously ridden up on a horse up to that lodge on that same trail. And throughout the way, my employer and I had cut logs uphill,” she recalls. “So, I knew there would be 67 cut logs on the way down.” In addition to counting the logs, Knull also relied on horse tracks and horse waste to guide the group safely through the dark to where her truck was parked. Knull managed to pack all 16 people inside and drove them to safety without any serious injuries. Knull, who is training to become a full-time firefighter, demonstrates that bravery and resourcefulness are essential in any dangerous situation. But what truly sets her apart is her sympathy for others. She explains, “I do it because, at the end of the day, I know I’d want to go home — but I’d also want someone there to help.” 1．What did Knull initially do after receiving the evacuation order? A．She searched campsites nearby. B．She messaged other firefighters. C．She evacuated her kitchen workers. D．She awakened the guests at the lodge. 2．What impressed Tocher most about Knull? A．Her good physical quality. B．Her remarkable leadership. C．Her patience with the hikers. D．Her resistance to heavy smoke. 3．How did Knull walk the 16 people downhill? A．By applying her tracking skills. B．By clearing the path of cut logs. C．By getting a horse leading the way. D．By contacting rescue crew for help. 4．Why does the author cite Knull’s words in the last paragraph? A．To praise her ambition. B．To express her frankness. C．To show her daily routine. D．To highlight her kindness. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了18岁的志愿者消防员科琳•克努尔在贾斯珀国家公园火灾中英勇疏散游客的事迹。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“The volunteer firefighter quickly knocked on the cabin doors at the lodge, informing the guests who were asleep of the danger.(这名志愿消防员迅速敲响了旅馆小屋的门，告知正在睡觉的客人危险情况。)”可知，克努尔接到疏散命令后最初唤醒了旅馆的客人。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Rebecca Tocher, one of the evacuees, recalled how Knull took charge and made sure that everyone was working together during the tense and frightening hike.(被疏散者之一丽贝卡•托彻回忆说，克努尔是如何负责并确保每个人在紧张可怕的徒步旅行中一起合作的。)”可知，给托彻留下最深刻印象的是克努尔的领导能力。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“In addition to counting the logs, Knull also relied on horse tracks and horse waste to guide the group safely through the dark to where her truck was parked.(除了数木头，克努尔还依靠马蹄印和马粪引导大家安全穿过黑暗，到达她的卡车停放的地方。)”可知，克努尔是运用她的追踪技能带着16个人下山的。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“But what truly sets her apart is her sympathy for others. She explains, ‘I do it because, at the end of the day, I know I’d want to go home — but I’d also want someone there to help’.(但真正让她与众不同的是她对别人的同情。她解释说：‘我这么做是因为，归根结底，我知道我想回家——但我也希望有人在那里帮忙’。)”可知，作者在最后一段引用克努尔的话是为了突出她的善良。故选D。 Passage9.When Darrell was young, Thanksgiving meant 30 neighbors sharing a potluck meal (百乐餐) in the family driveway. “My parents worked at a golf course. They’d invite all the workers to Thanksgiving dinner.” It has become an essential part of their family life. Today, Darrell continues the tradition at his restaurant, called Mark BBQ, in Colchester, Vermont, where a mix of barbecue and community service has made it a popular and special place. Colchester is a small town on the shores of Lake Champlain, just north of Burlington. Local people know Mark BBQ for its brisket burgers, pulled-pork sandwiches and Tex-Mex meatloaf. For many, Mark BBQ is more than just a place to eat; it’s also a crucial stop on their journey to a new life. The idea for the Recovery Kitchen Programme, led by Darell, was inspired by an addict named Casey DeGuise. Before getting a chance to work at Mark BBQ, Casey was rejected 35 times. Since then, he has proven to be a valuable employee. This programme aims to bring addicts into the kitchen to develop service industry skills. It offers not only job training but also support in areas like money management and career planning, which helps addicts return to society and lead normal lives. Darrell knows that a little help can go a long way. He recalls, “I went through a dark period when I was drinking too much. I felt lost and alone. But later I realized if someone had helped me then, things would have been different. So, I decided to be that helping hand for others.” Now, he keeps a fridge stocked with free food by Mark BBQ’s front door for anyone in need. “If we can pay the bills and staff, we’re happy,” says Darrell. “If we can help the community, we’re even happier.” So far, Darrell has handed out more than 170,000 free meals. 1．What’s the tradition of Darrell’s family? A．Taking up a job at a golf course. B．Providing BBQ services when needed. C．Having a family gathering on Thanksgiving Day. D．Inviting community members to Thanksgiving dinner. 2．What is special about Mark BBQ? A．It offers health and care service. B．It serves tasty and countless food. C．It has a unique geographical location. D．It combines BBQ with community service. 3．What can we learn from the Recovery Kitchen Programme? A．It gets money support from the community. B．It helps addicts build skills to fit into society. C．It aims at making Mark BBQ more popular. D．It is carried out by an addict called Casey DeGuise. 4．Which of the following words can best describe Darrell? A．Generous and sympathetic. B．Ambitious and demanding. C．Cooperative and productive. D．Adventurous and responsible. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述Darrell继承了其父母的传统，在自家餐厅提供免费食物来帮助那些需要帮助的人，同时提供社区服务。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“When Darrell was young, Thanksgiving meant 30 neighbors sharing a potluck meal (百乐餐) in the family driveway. ‘My parents worked at a golf course. They’d invite all the workers to Thanksgiving dinner.’ It has become an essential part of their family life.(当Darrell年轻的时候，感恩节意味着30个邻居在家里的车道上分享一顿百乐餐。‘我的父母在高尔夫球场工作。他们会邀请所有的工人来吃感恩节晚餐。’它已经成为他们家庭生活中必不可少的一部分)”可知，Darrell家庭的传统是邀请社区成员吃感恩节晚餐，故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Today, Darrell continues the tradition at his restaurant, called Mark BBQ, in Colchester, Vermont, where a mix of barbecue and community service has made it a popular and special place.(今天，Darrell在他位于佛蒙特州科尔切斯特的餐厅Mark BBQ继续着这一传统，烧烤和社区服务的结合使它成为一个受欢迎和特别的地方)”可知，Mark BBQ的特殊之处在于它将烧烤和社区服务相结合，故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中“This programme aims to bring addicts into the kitchen to develop service industry skills. It offers not only job training but also support in areas like money management and career planning, which helps addicts return to society and lead normal lives.(这个项目旨在让瘾君子进入厨房，发展服务业技能。它不仅提供职业培训，还提供资金管理和职业规划等方面的支持，帮助成瘾者重返社会，过上正常生活)”可知，Recovery Kitchen Programme帮助瘾君子培养适应社会的技能，故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据第三段中“This programme aims to bring addicts into the kitchen to develop service industry skills.

Heather Sant, 36, was driving her white 2012 Mazda on the road with her nine-year-old daughter and ten-year-old son in the back. Suddenly, a red pickup truck cut them off. Sant turned the wheel hard to the right, sending the Mazda sliding off the road and down an embankment (路堤) that ended in a drop-off after about 50 feet. If the car didn’t stop, it would take off and dive into the road some 20 feet below. Then a bit of luck: as the car raced toward the edge, its under carriage got stuck, stopping it suddenly. The people inside, however, were far from safe. The car had come to rest on top of a retaining wall (护墙), balancing on the edge of disaster. One sudden move by anyone inside could throw the car off balance and send it over. Jacob Rodriguez watched everything in terror from the nearby truck company where he works. As an experienced sailor, just like every time he met shipwreck, he whispered a sailing saying “Ship, shipmates, self”. Then immediately he and four other men ran to the car. They leaped onto the trunk (后备箱) to balance the weight as the terrified kids in the back seat watched. Meanwhile, Julio and his nephew March, were driving to their jobs at nearby Premier Auto motive. Julio jumped out of the car to help while March went to the shop, grabbed a strong rope, and returned to the car. He tied the Mazda to an F-350 truck that had been driven over by one of the other rescuers. With the car secured, the group carefully opened the back doors and helped the children out. But their leaving changed the cars’ weight, causing it to tip forward. The men, still on the trunk, begged Sant to jump into the back seat. She did and then inched out of the back door. Finally, the men carefully got off the trunk. Everyone was safe. “Another foot,” Rodriguez told USA Today, “and this would be a different story.” 1．What most probably caused the traffic accident? A．The Mazda was overloaded. B．The car was really speeding. C．The wheel failed to work. D．A pickup truck cut in suddenly. 2．Why did the men ask Sant to move to the back seat? A．To open the back door of the car. B．To fasten the rope to the truck. C．To keep the balance of the car. D．To help the men get off the trunk. 3．What does Rodriguez want to stress in the last paragraph? A．The timely help offered by rescuers. B．The excellent cooperation of the children. C．The dangerous position where the car stopped. D．The serious danger the rescuers faced. 4．Which of the following statements agree with the theme of the passage? A．One in trouble, all to help. B．Hold your horses. C．Well begun, half done. D．Don’t jump in with both feet. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Heather Sant驾车外出，遭遇小货车抢道，导致轿车于堤崖边，摇摇欲坠，危机四伏，幸亏周围及路过的陌生人慷慨施救，最终脱险的事情。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Suddenly, a red pickup truck cut them off. Sant turned the wheel hard to the right, sending the Mazda sliding off the road and down an embankment (路堤) that ended in a drop-off after about 50 feet.(突然，一辆红色皮卡挡住了他们的去路。Sant使劲向右转方向盘，导致马自达滑出路面，滑下了路堤，在行驶了大约50英尺（约合10米）后，车就掉了下去)”可知，最有可能导致交通事故的原因是小卡车突然超车。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“But their leaving changed the cars’ weight, causing it to tip forward. The men, still on the trunk, begged Sant to jump into the back seat. She did and then inched out of the back door. Finally, the men carefully got off the trunk. Everyone was safe.(但他们的离开改变了汽车的重量，导致汽车向前倾斜。那些人仍然坐在后备箱上，请求Sant跳上后座。她照做了，然后蹑手蹑脚地走出后门。最后，他们小心翼翼地下了车。每个人都很安全)”可知，男人们让Sant坐到后排是为了保持汽车的平衡。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段““Another foot,” Rodriguez told USA Today, “and this would be a different story.”(Rodriguez在接受《今日美国》采访时表示：“再往前走一英尺，情况就不一样了。”)”可推知，Rodriguez在最后一段想强调汽车停下来的位置有多么危险。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据文章描写了Heather Sant驾车外出，遭遇小货车抢道，致轿车于堤崖边，摇摇欲坠，危机四伏，幸亏周围及路过的陌生人慷慨施救，最终脱险的事情。由此可知，A选项“一方有难，八方支援”符合文章主题。故选A。 二、完形填空 Passage1.Twelve years ago, a man paid for three strange kids’ haircuts out of kindness.
