Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
A Florida teen is gaining national attention with her graduation speech and a basket of strawberries. “Care for some strawberries?”Brenda said at her graduation from Mulberry High School. After jokingly acknowledging there might not be enough, she went on,“These are no ordinary strawberries.” She held up a series of strawberries, revealing what each represents: sweat, dirt, aches, and pains—they're her motivators.
Brenda described herself as the daughter of two tireless farmers who immigrated from Mexico and spent most of their days working in fields of strawberries,blueberries,and cucumbers. “My motivation has been rooted in my immigrant culture.” Because of this, she chose to focus on that in her address. “Many students used to be ashamed of their upbringing but today, we're proud of what makes us.”
She explained how she grew up under poor conditions. “I'm motivated by my parents' hands that lose feeling from laborious work. Despite the hot sun and body pains, they back me up heart and soul in my education, which weighs more strongly with me than anything else. I must work hard and succeed.”Brenda's heading to Stanford University this fall.She also credited some of her outstanding achievements to her teacher Higgins, who helps immigrant students and the poor.
Her speech has been viewed by thousands online.“Hearing it touched other people's hearts who said they understood my message, I'm struck the same,”Brenda said later. The principal of Mulberry High School, Michael Young, was one member of the audience getting emotional. “The speech was very powerful—her fruit did help paint a good picture of things she wanted to convey,” Young said.
As for her message to young people struggling, Brenda said,“Past circumstances aren't in charge of your future. If you're from a poor family, use every resource and try to better yourself. You're the author of your story.”
1.Why did Brenda bring strawberries to her graduation?
A.To share her homegrown fruit.
B.To show hardship her parents faced.
C.To better illustrate her speech's topic.
D.To explain the importance of motivators.
2.What affected Brenda most in terms of her academic success?
A.Help from her teacher.
B.Her life experience.
C.Her native culture.
D.Support from her parents.
3.How did Brenda feel about the viewers' response online?
A.Proud. B.Sympathetic.
C.Awkward. D.Moved.
4.What did Brenda convey to the young?
A.Life is what you make it.
B.Every cloud has a silver lining.
C.Everyone deserves a good life story.
D.Resources in hand decide your future.

As a garden designer and consultant, I see the amazing progress that can be made when gardeners get together and get things done. Here are some small stories about how something has been achieved through cooperation.
I was involved with one project earlier driven by two twelveyearolds living in a small northern England town. To do something good for the environment, the two girls desired to grow their own food in some deserted land. So the pair spoke to their teacher about using a small abandoned space next to their school's parking lot. The teacher reached me for advice and together we determined who owned the space. The owner agreed to rent the space and the kids were able to raise money to pay the rent and start growing food on the site.
Another motivating story was about one enterprising gardener in Illinois who decided to speak with his neighbors about using their grassfilled front yards to grow food. This gardener did have his own garden but he wanted to do more. So he offered to tend his neighbors' front yards in return for the use of these underutilized (未充分利用的) spaces to grow food everyone would share.To his surprise,all of his neighbors adopted this frontyard farming idea, and even one neighbor joined him and helped grow the food to learn more about the process. Everyone gained a lot at last.
The final story was that of three women in a neighborhood in Vermont. Struggling to find the time to look after their kids and grow their own food, they found a solution. The mothers together raised children and plants, selling produce and young plants to other gardeners in the area to cover basic costs. They took turns on the daycare duty for a handful of children and tended the garden around their parttime jobs.
These stories show just what can be achieved when people work together to make their own lives and the lives of those around them just a little bit better.
5.What were the two 12yearold girls particularly interested in?
A.A balanced diet. B.School education.
C.Voluntary work. D.Ecofriendly living.
6.What was beyond the expectation of the gardener in Illinois?
A.His success in running a garden of his own.
B.The difficulty of getting land for gardening.
C.His neighbors' positive response to his idea.
D.The good management of neighboring gardens.
7.What did the three women do to handle their problem?
A.They sold goods at a local daycare center.
B.They took turns to look after their children.
C.They did fulltime jobs to cover basic costs.
D.They collected donations from other gardeners.
8.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To urge us to protect the current environment.
B.To praise the hard work of ordinary gardeners.
C.To prove the meaning of helping others in need.
D.To show the significance of cooperative work.
