Unit 7 International charities 单元话题阅读理解练习 基础语篇巩固练 （24-25八年级上·江苏南京·期末）. In October 2023, volunteers sent a small green sea turtle to the Sea Turtle Care Center at an aquarium (水族馆) in South Carolina. The turtle, Ricotta, got trapped in a fishing line, and lost a front flipper (鳍). People found more fishing lines in the turtle’s body. Ricotta was not the only one. Since the care center opened in 2000, workers there have seen many turtles like Ricotta. Some turtles’ injuries (伤害) came from boat strikes and animal bites. “The best part about my job is that every day is different,” says Grace Buschiazzo, a biologist at the Sea Turtle Care Center. “Whatever the sea turtles need from me, I’m going to do it.” At the age of 15, Buschiazzo volunteered for a project. It helped protect sea turtle eggs. That was when she fell in love with sea turtles. Buschiazzo recommends that kids can volunteer just like her if they are interested in sea turtles. “You can do it at an aquarium,” she says. “You can also do it at a local animal center. There are lots of ways to help sea turtles.” Buschiazzo makes the turtles’ meals and makes sure they stay healthy. She does everything she can to help the turtles get better. Since 2000, the team at the Sea Turtle Care Center has successfully treated and released more than 400 sea turtles. And that’s another thing Buschiazzo loves about her job: getting to see how people save the turtles’ lives and help them go back into the sea. 1．What do we know about Ricotta after reading the passage?

After his sister Christa died in 1992, he decided to try climbing Pakistan’s K2, the second-highest mountain in the world, in her memory.

So far, Faircloth with his daughter Luna along for the ride — has sent 95 RVs to California area wildfire victims (受害者). Otherwise they might wait months for emergency housing (应急居所). ③Faircloth first got the idea for the organization in 2018. Like many that year, the father was touched by the news of California’s deadly Camp Fire that burnt hundreds of homes during Thanksgiving week. The story of a man who lost almost everything but managed to survive the fire in his mobile home impressed Faircloth. Then he asked Luna what she thought about finding an RV and sending it to a family, so they could have a place to call home for Christmas, and she was 100% on board. ④Faircloth started a GoFundMe activity to provide money for the first RV that he and Luna sent to California. As the news of their journey spread, people started reaching out to him, offering to donate their RVs — and from there, EmergencyRV Organization soon formed. All the people think what Faircloth did will make a difference to those in need. It’s hoped that these donations can help more people. ⑤Many of those who receive mobile homes are firefighters. Their tireless work in fighting the fire did not prevent their own homes from burning. One such man is George Wolley, who lost his own home in the Dixie Fire on August 4th. He said, “Before I got that RV, I felt like I was a burden (负担) on everybody that helped me... I slept a lot in tents and in my car. It gave me a place to go.” ⑥Faircloth’s organization continues to grow. He’s thankful for the many things he has and happy to be in a position to help others. 1．EmergencyRV Organization was started to ________. A．teach people ways to prevent fires B．raise money to buy emergency cars C．provide housing for wildfire victims D．collect and sell second-hand cars 2．What gave Faircloth the idea to set up the organization? A．His interview with a man surviving a fire. B．The news about a terrible fire. C．His own experience of a wildfire. D．Donations from people to victims. 3．How did people feel about Faircloth’s behaviour? A．Angry. B．Excited. C．Worried. D．Hopeful. 4．Why was Wolley mentioned (提及) in the text? A．To explain the danger of wildfires. B．To introduce the work of firefighters. C．To show the burden on car owners. D．To give an example of RVs’ receiver. 5．What’s the proper structure (结构) for the passage? (① — Paragraph 1, ② — Paragraph 2...)

Bostic went upstairs. He searched every bedroom. No kid. The smoke was thick now”可知，Bostic先催促四个女孩呼吸新鲜空气，接着去屋子里寻找Kaylani，即前两个事件顺序为bc，排除ACD。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“Bostic and Kaylani looked down. The girl said ‘...’ He was thinking the exact same thing.”和“But they had little choice. The flames were coming ever closer. Holding Kaylani in one arm, Bostic ran forward and threw himself out of the window(但他们别无选择。火焰越来越近了。Bostic紧紧地抱着Kaylani，向前跑去，从窗户跳了出去。)”可知此时他们的选择只有跳出窗外。选项D“我可不想从窗户跳下去”符合语境。故选D。 4．推理判断题。本文讲述了Nick Bostic遇到火灾时，勇敢地两次跑进燃烧的大楼成功地救人的故事，图片中“火灾中，一个男子抱着小女孩跳出窗户”的情景说明Bostic是如何在关键时刻救下Kaylani的。故选C。 （23-24八年级上·江苏泰州·期中）. It was a hot day. Mark and Timo were glad that they weren’t lugging (用力拖) cans today. It was Wednesday yesterday, and it took hours to get all of the cans they had saved to the recycling center. Today, the boys had to know how much money they got and what to do with it. They talked about bikes and basketballs. They dreamed about rockets and hot air balloons (气球). As they walked, Mark bent over and picked up a can without even thinking about it. When he saw the can in his hand, he laughed. “Old habits die hard,” Timo said. “Maybe we had better buy more rubbish bags!” Mark and Timo were still laughing about picking up cans when they caught up with Mr. Timmons. “Hi. Mr. Timmons,” smiled Timo, “Where are you heading?” Mr. Timmons seemed pleased to see them. “Well, I’m on my way to help at the food pantry (食品柜).” “What goes on there?” Mark asked. “Oh, they always need to help pack or unpack cans of food,” Mr. Timmons answered, “The pantry helps those people who don’t have enough money to buy food.” “Not enough money for food?” said the boys together. They looked at each other and agreed. “Can we come along, Mr. Timmons?” asked Timo. “I think we just found out what to do with our recycling money. 1．What did Mark and Timo do on Wednesday?

D．The boys became interested in rockets and dreamed to work at them. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了当Mark和Timo正在讨论用赚的钱买什么时，遇见了Timmons先生，并从他那里得知现在还有人没钱吃饭，所以他们决定用赚的钱帮助有需要的人。 1．细节理解题。根据“It was Wednesday yesterday, and it took hours to get all of the cans they had saved to the recycling center.”可知，Mark和Timo星期三那天把捡的易拉罐卖给了回收中心，故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据“ it took hours to get all of the cans they had saved to the recycling center.”可知，Mark和Timo两人捡易拉罐卖；再根据“As they walked, Mark bent over and picked up a can without even thinking about it.”可知，走路时，Mark想都没想就弯下腰捡起了一个易拉罐，说明捡易拉罐是一种长期形成的习惯性行为，很难改变；因此 “Old habits die hard”的含义为“旧习难改”。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第一段“It was Wednesday yesterday”可知，Mark和Timo在星期四遇见Timmons先生，结合第六段“Mr. Timmons seemed pleased to see them. ‘Well, I’m on my way to help at the food pantry (食品柜).’ ’”可知，Mark和Timo遇见Timmons 先生那天，他正在去食品柜的路上，由此推测，Thomas先生是星期四去食品柜，故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“As they walked, Mark bent over and picked up a can without even thinking about it.”可知，首先是Mark捡起了易拉罐，即①排第一；再根据“Maybe we had better buy more rubbish bags!”可知，然后是Timo建议买更多的垃圾袋，即②；再根据“Mark and Timo were still laughing about picking up cans when they caught up with Mr. Timmons.”可知，然后是Mark和Timo遇到了Timmons 先生，即④；根据“I think we just found out what to do with our recycling money.”可知，最后是两人找到如何使用回收废品卖的钱了，即③。综上，正确的顺序为①→②→④→③。故选C。 5．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“‘Not enough money for food?’ said the boys together. They looked at each other and agreed.”和最后一段“ ‘Can we come along, Mr. Timmons?’ asked Timo. ‘I think we just found out what to do with our recycling money.’”可推测，男孩们将用回收的钱给穷人买食物。故选C。 （23-24八年级下·江苏宿迁·期末）Close your eyes for a minute and imagine (想象) what life would be like if you couldn’t see.

So far, Faircloth with his daughter Luna along for the ride — has sent 95 RVs to California area wildfire victims (受害者). Otherwise they might wait months for emergency housing (应急居所). ③Faircloth first got the idea for the organization in 2018. Like many that year, the father was touched by the news of California’s deadly Camp Fire that burnt hundreds of homes during Thanksgiving week. The story of a man who lost almost everything but managed to survive the fire in his mobile home impressed Faircloth. Then he asked Luna what she thought about finding an RV and sending it to a family, so they could have a place to call home for Christmas, and she was 100% on board. ④Faircloth started a GoFundMe activity to provide money for the first RV that he and Luna sent to California. As the news of their journey spread, people started reaching out to him, offering to donate their RVs — and from there, EmergencyRV Organization soon formed. All the people think what Faircloth did will make a difference to those in need. It’s hoped that these donations can help more people. ⑤Many of those who receive mobile homes are firefighters. Their tireless work in fighting the fire did not prevent their own homes from burning. One such man is George Wolley, who lost his own home in the Dixie Fire on August 4th. He said, “Before I got that RV, I felt like I was a burden (负担) on everybody that helped me... I slept a lot in tents and in my car. It gave me a place to go.” ⑥Faircloth’s organization continues to grow. He’s thankful for the many things he has and happy to be in a position to help others. 1．EmergencyRV Organization was started to ________. A．teach people ways to prevent fires B．raise money to buy emergency cars C．provide housing for wildfire victims D．collect and sell second-hand cars 2．What gave Faircloth the idea to set up the organization? A．His interview with a man surviving a fire. B．The news about a terrible fire. C．His own experience of a wildfire.

A．To explain the danger of wildfires. B．To introduce the work of firefighters. C．To show the burden on car owners. D．To give an example of RVs’ receiver. 5．What’s the proper structure (结构) for the passage? (① — Paragraph 1, ② — Paragraph 2...) A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了Woody Faircloth和他的女儿Luna建立了一个叫做“紧急房车”的非盈利组织，为在加州山火中失去家园的家庭提供安全的住所。现在他们的服务对象很多是那些为了救火而失去自己家园的消防员。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“they’ve helped people who’ve lost their homes in California’s latest wildfires.”和第二段“The idea of Woody Faircloth, EmergencyRV Organization connects people who are willing to donate their RVs to those in need.”可知，紧急房车组织一开始是为野火受害者提供住房。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Faircloth first got the idea for the organization in 2018. Like many that year, the father was touched by the news of California’s deadly Camp Fire that burnt hundreds of homes during Thanksgiving week.”可知，营火烧毁了数百所房屋的消息令这位父亲深受感动，所以建立了这个组织。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“All the people think what Faircloth did will make a difference to those in need. It’s hoped that these donations can help more people.”可知，所有人希望这些捐款能够帮助到更多的人，所以Faircloth的行为是充满希望的。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据第五段“One such man is George Wolley, who lost his own home in the Dixie Fire on August 4th.”可知，这是举的一个房车接收的例子。故选D。 5．篇章结构题。通读文章可知，第一段是通过旅行房车引出下文；第二、三、四段是Faircloth成立紧急房车组织的理念、缘由及发起活动；第五段是接收房屋的人群；第六段是Faircloth的感受。故选D。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
