Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21. Alex-Goldberg, the program's founder, said:“We set up Young-Inspirations because· we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life. changing and-broaden their outlook. We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, we've secured internships(实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda:” “At a. time of funding. cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.” Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization's International Youth Forum. The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. “Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop, it was amazing,” he said, “We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.” The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life.It dealt with issues such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment. Kieran said:“It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.” The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury. 46. The Young Inspirations mentoring program aims to . A. train staff for world-famous firms B offer job opportunities to young adults C. provide youth with unique experiences D. equip the unemployed with different skills 47. According to Alex. Goldberg, it is difficult for schools to offer the mentoring due to . A. the lack of support from firms B. the cultural differences C. the effect of unemployment D. the shortage of money 48. According to the passage, the forum focused on how youth can .

We can learn from the passage that . A. the visit to the United Kingdom was amazing B. Kieran has made great progress in. many` aspects C. the youth have found a way to solve their problems D. the mentoring sessions are held every day except Friday 50. What would be the best title for the passage? A Alex Goldberg, Founder of Young Inspirations B. Young People Find a World of Opportunity C. Kieran, Banbury School Pupil to Paris D. Debates Help Youth with Their Grades C Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up. in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I'm not going to say luck, talent. and circumstances don't come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of how life is. However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it' ll require even more time, time that most people won't put in. There is a big. reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do, it is going-to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it. When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there's a huge chance that you' re wrong anyway. Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out,almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you' re not willing to put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won't guarantee you-the-level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into. 51. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about . A. the reasons for success B. the meaning of success C. the standards of success D the importance of success 52. In Paragraph2, the underlined word that refers to . A. being good at something B. setting a practical goal C. putting in more time D. succeeding in life 53. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because . A work makes one feel pain B. one tends to enjoy his work C. one gives up his work easily D it takes a lot of time to succeed 54. What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A Successful people like to show their great skills. B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent. C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life. D It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success. 55. What is the main theme of the passage? A. Having a goal is vital to success.. B. Being good is different from being great. C. One cannot succeed without time and practice. D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success 第Ⅱ卷 (共35分) 第四部分：读写综合 第一节：首字母填空(共10小题；每小题 1 分，满分10分) 阅读下面的文章，并根据首字母用单词的正确形式填空，使文章通顺完整。 The Process of Organizing a Community Activity Community activities play a crucial role in strengthening neighborhood bonds.

Simon Groot of the Netherlands is credited with introducing high-quality, disease-resistance vegetable seeds to more than 60 countries including the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia. He began his search to create better vegetable seeds to help farmers in Southeast Asia in1981. Sixteen years earlier, he had made his first trip to Indonesia. There, Groot learned that vegetable seeds which were developed for the climate of Europe, did poorly when planted in the hot tropics. He thought there was a great possibility to introduce hybrid vegetables to the area. The area lacked vegetable seed developers who were trying to create hybrids for the local climate. “I noticed the seed quality in that part of world was so much below our standards and below achievable standards. I could not stand that the farmers there did not have better seeds.”Said Groot. At that time, farmers in Southeast Asia usually saved seeds from season to season. That was because the seeds available for sale were often old. Those seeds were usually from Europe or North America and did not grow well in their tropical climate. This meant that the farmers ended up with smaller crops, and lower quality that changed greatly from season to season. The plant also could easily become infected with diseases. Groot partnered with seed trader Benito Domingo of the Philippines. They put together a team of seed researchers and growers from Wageninge University in the Netherlands and the University of the Philippines. Within a few years, they developed a hybrid bitter gourd (苦瓜)that sold successfully. Then they modified a tomato plant, followed by eggplants, pumpkins and leafy vegetables. The early success led to the start of the East-West Seed Company , which now has more than 970 improved seeds of 60 vegetable crops. Over the past 40 years, the discoveries have led to the creation of a tropical vegetable seed industry aimed at small farmers. The tropical seeds are now spreading into Asia, Africa and Latin America. It is estimated that the company's seeds are used by 20 million farmers each year in more than 60 countries. 66. Why was Groot awarded the 2019 World Food Prize ? (No more than 10 words.) 67. What's the main idea of Paragraph 2?(no more than 10 words) 68. What made the plants not grow well in Southeast Asia in the past? (No more than 15words) 69. What does the underlined word in the Paragraph 4 most probably mean?(Only 1 word) 70. What do you think of Groot's work? And give your reasons.
