People depend on one another. That’s why communities have special people ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it. For example, what would we do without a community fire station? If a home catches fire, as the Jackson place did last week, it might be burned down and people get hurt or worse. We’re so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire safely. If the fire station hadn’t come so fast, the Jacksons might have lost everything. And what about our local police who protect our families, our homes and valuable things? “The police have helped so many families this past year, especially saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after the heavy rains. Think about all the other service workers we have in this community. We have people who collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary; we have road workers who put up and repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us, but our cars! And where would this community be without the teachers in our school, and the doctors and nurses in our community hospitals? Think again about what we eat every day; think again about what we wear every day. We cannot produce them, but we use them all the time. We get a lot from all these tireless workers who keep our community running. We need these people in the community. We depend on each other. Let’s support each other and help each other. Only in this way can we make our community a better place. 5. What happened to the Jacksons last week? A. Their pets were lost. B. Their car was badly burnt. C. Their house caught fire. D. Their valuable things were stolen. 6. What does the underlined word “sanitary” mean? A. Clean. B. Safe. C. Quiet. D. Busy. 7. Which question could best help us find out the writer’s purpose? A. Did the writer make us laugh? B. Did the writer want us to do something? C. Did the writer tell us about how to become a teacher? D. Did the writer teach us what to do when a fire breaks out? 8. What is the best title for the passage? A. Policemen Save People’s Lives B. People Depend on Each Other C. Service Workers Do Important Jobs D. Workers Keep Community Running 【答案】5. C 6. A 7. B 8. B 【解析】 【分析】本文讲述了社区有一些特殊的人群随时准备向其他人伸出援手，是因为每个人都有需要帮助的时候，并举例说明了对应的故事。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If a home catches fire, as the Jackson place did last week, it might be burned down and people get hurt or worse.”可知，杰克逊家上周家里着火了。故选C。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“We have people who collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary”可知，收集废品和垃圾的人会让社区变得干净，所以sanitary表示“干净的”。故选A。 【7题详解】 观点态度题。根据第一段“Everyone needs help sometimes. People depend on one another. That’s why communities have special people ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it.”可知，作者通过本文主要向告诉我们，每个人都需要别人的帮助，人们也是彼此依赖的。这也是为什么社区总有一些特殊的人群随时准备向其他人伸出援手。结合所给选项，只有B选项“作者想要让我们做一些事吗？”表现作者的意图是关于互相帮助的内容。故选B。 【8题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“Everyone needs help sometimes. People depend on one another.”可知，本文讲述了每个人都有需要帮助的时候，人们总是彼此依赖，并举例说明了社区中一些特殊的人群对于人们的帮助，所以最适合本文的标题是“人们彼此依赖”。故选B。 “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Similarly, if we drink a little more water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often. A healthy diet (饮食) is made up of water and a great many different kinds of foods. We know that healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and fish, are important as they provide us with energy and fiber (纤维素), without giving us too much fat and sugar. But why is water important? The human body needs water to stay alive. Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies. However, doctors advise us to drink plenty of water, much more than the small amount (数量) we need to stay alive. Some doctors believe water is important for our health in all kinds of ways. They believe that a great many illnesses and health problems starts as a result of dehydration—a lack (缺少) of water in body. Most people are dehydrated at least some of time, although they probably don’t know it. It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty, we are already in the first period of dehydration. In fact, we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty. These doctors think that health problems such as headaches, high blood pressure and asthma could be avoided if people drink more water. They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are overweight. Water has no calories (热量) so it will not make us put on weight. If we drink water, we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks such as Coca-Cola. Doctors also believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating. They say that many people think that they are hungry when they are, in fact, thirsty. Doctors suggest, therefore, that we eat less food and drink more water. There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water, so we should not stop going to see the doctor completely. However, if we make a decision to drink water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often. 9. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that ________. A. some doctors don’t like apples B. it’s very important to save water C. healthy foods give us a lot of fat and sugar D. we get energy and fiber from healthy foods 10. The doctors advise us ________. A. to drink water even if we don’t feel thirsty B. to drink water only when we feel thirsty C. to stay in the first period of dehydration D. to drink a small amount of water every day 11. From Paragraph 4, we can learn that drinking more water can help people ________. A. sleep well B. have a better memory C. lose weight D. understand things better 12. How is the passage organized? (P﹣Paragraph) ________ A. B. C. D. 【答案】9. D 10. A 11. C 12. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了水对人体健康的重要性，以及多喝水可以避免许多健康问题，如头痛、高血压、哮喘等，还能帮助控制体重。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据“We know that healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and fish, are important as they provide us with energy and fiber (纤维素), without giving us too much fat and sugar.”可知，健康食品为我们提供能量和纤维素。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In fact, we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty.”可知，医生建议我们即使不感到口渴也要喝水。故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are overweight. Water has no calories (热量) so it will not make us put on weight…”可知，多喝水有助于减肥。故选C。 【12题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引入健康饮食和水的重要性；第二段到第四段讲述喝水的益处；最后一段总结。故选A。 Is there a connection between volunteering and health? Could volunteering offer a way to improve kids’ mental(心理的)health? According to a new study, kids who volunteer aren’t just helping their community. They might be helping themselves as well. Scientists found that volunteering in schools or communities is connected with better health among children and teens. The study compared kids who took part in community service with those who didn’t. Kids who volunteered were 66% more likely to be considered “flourishing”, or doing well. And kids aged 12 and older who volunteered were 25% less likely to have anxiety(焦虑). Parents of some 50, 000 kids in the United States aged 6 to 17 took a survey. The findings of the survey show that volunteering has a positive effect to raise higher levels of happiness, life -satisfaction, a sense of control over life and mental health. The study comes at an important time. In another report, more than 40% of high school students said that they had ever felt sad or hopeless. Therefore, there’s a clear need to improve students’ mental health. Giving back to the community may be one method. Serving the community seems to help people feel a sense of purpose. And it makes them feel connected to those around them. So, kids, give it a try, for your health and happiness. 13. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Volunteers are helping community. B. Volunteers are helping themselves. C. Volunteering leads to better health. D. Volunteering is connected with kids. 14. What does the underlined word “flourishing” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Being helpful. B. Learning fast. C. Being friendly. D. Growing healthily. 15. According to Paragraph 4, who took part in the survey of the study? A. Some parents. B. Young people. C. Some children. D. Community volunteers. 16. What does the writer advise kids to do in the end? A. Do more studies. B. Ask adults for help. C. Find life purpose. D. Serve the community. 【答案】13. C 14. D 15. A 16. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了根据一项新的研究表明，在学校或社区做志愿者可以改善儿童和青少年的健康状况。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“According to a new study, kids who volunteer aren’t just helping their community. They might be helping themselves as well. Scientists found that volunteering in schools or communities is connected with better health among children and teens.”可知，第二段主要讲述了做志愿者可以改善儿童和青少年的健康状况。故选C。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“The study compared kids who took part in community service with those who didn’t. Kids who volunteered were 66% more likely to be considered”以及后文“or doing well”可知，做志愿者的孩子更有可能是状态更好，即健康地成长。故画线词意思是“健康地成长”。故选D。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Parents of some 50, 000 kids in the United States aged 6 to 17 took a survey.”可知，是父母们参加了这项研究的调查。故选A。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Serving the community seems to help people feel a sense of purpose.

For example, what would we do without a community fire station? If a home catches fire, as the Jackson place did last week, it might be burned down and people get hurt or worse. We’re so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire safely. If the fire station hadn’t come so fast, the Jacksons might have lost everything. And what about our local police who protect our families, our homes and valuable things? “The police have helped so many families this past year, especially saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after the heavy rains. Think about all the other service workers we have in this community. We have people who collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary; we have road workers who put up and repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us, but our cars! And where would this community be without the teachers in our school, and the doctors and nurses in our community hospitals? Think again about what we eat every day; think again about what we wear every day. We cannot produce them, but we use them all the time. We get a lot from all these tireless workers who keep our community running. We need these people in the community. We depend on each other. Let’s support each other and help each other. Only in this way can we make our community a better place. 5. What happened to the Jacksons last week? A. Their pets were lost. B. Their car was badly burnt. C. Their house caught fire. D. Their valuable things were stolen. 6 What does the underlined word “sanitary” mean? A. Clean. B. Safe. C. Quiet. D. Busy. 7. Which question could best help us find out the writer’s purpose? A. Did the writer make us laugh? B. Did the writer want us to do something? C. Did the writer tell us about how to become a teacher? D. Did the writer teach us what to do when a fire breaks out? 8. What is the best title for the passage? A. Policemen Save People’s Lives B. People Depend on Each Other C. Service Workers Do Important Jobs D. Workers Keep Community Running “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Similarly, if we drink a little more water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often. A healthy diet (饮食) is made up of water and a great many different kinds of foods. We know that healthy foods like fruits, vegetables and fish, are important as they provide us with energy and fiber (纤维素), without giving us too much fat and sugar. But why is water important? The human body needs water to stay alive. Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies. However, doctors advise us to drink plenty of water, much more than the small amount (数量) we need to stay alive. Some doctors believe water is important for our health in all kinds of ways. They believe that a great many illnesses and health problems starts as a result of dehydration—a lack (缺少) of water in body. Most people are dehydrated at least some of time, although they probably don’t know it. It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty, we are already in the first period of dehydration. In fact, we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty. These doctors think that health problems such as headaches, high blood pressure and asthma could be avoided if people drink more water. They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are overweight. Water has no calories (热量) so it will not make us put on weight. If we drink water, we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks such as Coca-Cola. Doctors also believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating. They say that many people think that they are hungry when they are, in fact, thirsty. Doctors suggest, therefore, that we eat less food and drink more water. There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water, so we should not stop going to see the doctor completely. However, if we make a decision to drink water every day, we may find that we need to go to the doctor a lot less often. 9. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that ________. A. some doctors don’t like apples B. it’s very important to save water C. healthy foods give us a lot of fat and sugar D. we get energy and fiber from healthy foods 10. The doctors advise us ________. A. to drink water even if we don’t feel thirsty B. to drink water only when we feel thirsty C. to stay in the first period of dehydration D. to drink a small amount of water every day 11. From Paragraph 4, we can learn that drinking more water can help people ________. A. sleep well B. have a better memory C. lose weight D. understand things better 12. How is the passage organized? (P﹣Paragraph) ________ A. B. C. D. Is there a connection between volunteering and health? Could volunteering offer a way to improve kids’ mental(心理)health? According to a new study, kids who volunteer aren’t just helping their community. They might be helping themselves as well. Scientists found that volunteering in schools or communities is connected with better health among children and teens. The study compared kids who took part in community service with those who didn’t. Kids who volunteered were 66% more likely to be considered “flourishing”, or doing well. And kids aged 12 and older who volunteered were 25% less likely to have anxiety(焦虑). Parents of some 50, 000 kids in the United States aged 6 to 17 took a survey. The findings of the survey show that volunteering has a positive effect to raise higher levels of happiness, life -satisfaction, a sense of control over life and mental health. The study comes at an important time. In another report, more than 40% of high school students said that they had ever felt sad or hopeless. Therefore, there’s a clear need to improve students’ mental health. Giving back to the community may be one method. Serving the community seems to help people feel a sense of purpose. And it makes them feel connected to those around them. So, kids, give it a try, for your health and happiness. 13. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Volunteers are helping community. B. Volunteers are helping themselves. C. Volunteering leads to better health. D. Volunteering is connected with kids. 14. What does the underlined word “flourishing” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Being helpful. B. Learning fast. C. Being friendly. D. Growing healthily. 15. According to Paragraph 4, who took part in the survey of the study? A. Some parents. B. Young people. C. Some children. D. Community volunteers. 16. What does the writer advise kids to do in the end? A. Do more studies. B. Ask adults for help. C. Find life purpose. D. Serve the community. 第二节 阅读短文，从下面所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Money may not buy happiness, but it helps.
