Over time, his organization—Ethan’s Heart has grown. It allows him to open a free moving store and give out more than 5,000 care bags. His organization began when Ethan noticed a homeless man on his way to school each day, and he felt he had to do something to help. It was going to snow, and he was worried about the man. Ethan had received $100 on Christmas that year and he decided to find out what homeless people would need online. He bought some boxes and filled them with food, drinks, hats, a tent and other necessary things. Then he gave the boxes to the homeless. Later, Ethan won the Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes and decided to use his prize money to help others. He used the money to buy a trailer (挂车) and turned it into a free store. His mom and dad help with money raising and everyday tasks. They both work to make his dreams come true—and he always dreams really big! In traditional food banks, homeless people have to take what is prepared for them and cannot choose. But Ethan’s free moving store allows them to pick exactly what they need. It creates less waste and makes them feel good for free shopping. When his trailer is not out serving the neighborhood, it goes to schools and other places to teach people about homelessness and the needs of the homeless. For Ethan, being young doesn’t stop him from making a difference. Instead, it gives him a fresh set of eyes to look at a problem and solve it. His story shows that even small acts can make a big difference in the world. 19. What made Ethan start his organization? A. Seeing a homeless man on the way to school. B. Advice from his parents about helping others. C. Winning a prize for helping someone in need. D. A school activity about helping the homeless. 20. How did Ethan use his prize money? A. To buy some Christmas gifts. B. To make 5,000 care bags. C. To give money to the homeless. D. To buy a trailer to help others. 21. How is Ethan’s moving store different? A. It prepares better food and clothes. B. It lets the homeless choose what they need. C. It provides cheaper food and drinks. D. It stays in the same neighborhood every day. 22. Which word can describe Ethan Hill best? A. Talented. B. Humorous. C. Kind-hearted. D. Rich. 【答案】19. A 20. D 21. B 22. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述13岁的伊桑・希尔从6岁开始帮助无家可归者的故事。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据“His organization began when Ethan noticed a homeless man on his way to school each day, and he felt he had to do something to help.”可知，上学路上看到流浪汉，想帮忙。故选A。 【20题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He used the money to buy a trailer (挂车) and turned it into a free store.”可知，买挂车改造成免费商店帮助他人。故选D。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But Ethan’s free moving store allows them to pick exactly what they need.”可知，可以让无家可归者选需要的东西，故选B。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。通读原文可知，伊桑长期帮助无家可归者，成立组织、改造流动商店，体现其善良的内心。故选C。 C Some people say that childhood is the best time of your life. However, being a child has good sides and bad sides. On the good side, you have few duties (职责). For example, you don’t have to go to work, pay for things you need, or do the shopping or housework. This means you have lots of free time to do whatever you want—watch TV, play video games, go out with friends, play sports, or take up other hobbies. Besides, public transport (公共交通), cinemas, and sports centers cost much less for children. So being a child can be a fun time of life. However, every coin (硬币) has two sides. For one thing, you have to spend all day, every day, Monday to Friday, at school and this certainly means that you have to do homework and take exams. What is more, although you have free time, you are hardly allowed to do whatever you want. You need your parents’ permission (允许) before going out with friends, staying out late, or going to parties. It can sometimes seem that they want to stop you having any fun. Last of all, things may be cheaper for children, but that doesn’t mean they are cheap. Children depend on getting money from parents and only some parents choose to give or are able to give a lot. So not all children can afford many fun activities or the things they like. All in all, even though childhood doesn’t have many duties, I really think it is not the best part of life. On the one hand, children may have free time, but on the other hand, they do not have the freedom (自由) to choose what to do with it. They can feel pressured both by parents and schools. Also, the greater duties that come with age make their own pressures, too. 23. Which is a good side of childhood according to the text? A. Free tickets for public transport. B. No homework during weekends. C. More time to spend on hobbies. D. Freedom to choose fun activities. 24. What does the underlined word “afford” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. pay for B. wait for C. part with D. learn from 25. Where do the pressures on children mostly come from according to the text? ①No free time. ②Parents. ③Housework. ④ Schools. ⑤Growing duties. A. ①②③ B. ①③⑤ C. ②③④ D. ②④⑤ 26. Which can be the best title of the text? A. Parents-The Controllers of Childhood? B. Childhood-Is it the Best Time of Life? C. Homework-Children’s Biggest Problem? D. Schools-Main Reason of Childhood Stress? 【答案】23. C 24. A 25. D 26. B 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨了童年是否为人生最佳时光，分析了童年的优缺点。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“On the good side ... you have lots of free time to do whatever you want-watch TV, play video games ... take up other hobbies.”可知，优势是有大量时间投入爱好。故选C。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Children depend on getting money from parents ... So not all children can afford many fun activities or the things they like.”可知，此句表示孩子靠父母给钱，所以不是所有孩子能负担得起喜欢的活动或物品，可推测afford意思是支付得起。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They can feel pressured both by parents and schools. Also, the greater duties that come with age make their own pressures, too.”可知，压力来自父母、学校、成长带来的职责。故选D。 【26题详解】 最佳标题题。通读原文可知，开篇讨论童年是否是人生最佳时光，分析优缺点后表明观点，围绕该话题展开。故选B。 D Were Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay really the first people to reach the top of the world’s highest mountain? Some believe that British climbers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine reached the top before them in June 1924. Unluckily, this is difficult to know for sure because both men disappeared somewhere high on the mountain. In 1999, a team of climbers visited the mountain, hoping to learn the truth. Near the First Step, on the way to the mountain top, the team found Mallory’s oxygen tank (氧气罐), which shows he and Irvine had been near the top. Close by, a member of the team-Conrad Anker-discovered Mallory’s body (尸体). When the team checked Mallory’s body, they found things like a knife and matches, but no photos. Why is this important? Mallory had carried a photo of his wife with him. He had planned to leave the photo at the top of the mountain, if he reached it. So some people guess he might reach the top. Did Mallory and Irvine really reach the top? Probably not, according to Anker. Here are some reasons why he thought this way. ______: Mallory and Irvine were last seen near the mountain’s Second Step. This is a 27-meter wall of rock. Climbing this part is very difficult, even with modern climbing equipment (设备). Without the right tools, it is impossible that Mallory and Irvine were able to continue to the top. No frostbite (冻伤): Mallory and Irvine were seen near the top late in the day. Climbers who reach the top at this time need to camp at the top. If they do this, it is common to get frostbite. But Mallory’s body had no signs of frostbite. So what happened to Mallory and Irvine? Anker thinks they probably turned back just after the First Step. When Mallory was going down the mountain, perhaps he fell by accident. Irvine’s body has never been found. Whatever happened, they will always be remembered as early brave climbers. 27. Why did the team climb the mountain in 1999? A To search for Mallory’s oxygen tank. B. To check if Irvine left his photo at the top. C. To become as famous as Hillary and Tenzing. D. To learn if Mallory and Irvine reached the top. 28. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The team didn’t find photos on Mallory’s body. B. The team found some matches on Mallory’s body. C. The team found Mallory’s dead body near the top. D. The team found Mallory’s oxygen tank near the top. 29. Which of the following can be put into “______” in Paragraph 5? A. Reach the top B. Difficult climb C. Camp at night D. Right tools 30. Which of the following would Conrad Anker probably agree with? A. Mallory and Irvine didn’t reach the mountain top. B. Modern climbers can easily climb the Second Step. C. Mallory fell when he took a photo at the mountain top. D. Mallory and Irvine camped near the top and got frostbite. 【答案】27. D 28. A 29. B 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕乔治・马洛里和安德鲁・欧文是否登顶珠峰这一疑问展开。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In 1999, a team of climbers visited the mountain, hoping to learn the truth.”可知，因为想了解马洛里和欧文是否登顶的真相。故选D。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“When the team checked Mallory’s body, they found things like a knife and matches, but no photos. Why is this important? Mallory had carried a photo of his wife with him. He had planned to leave the photo at the top of the mountain, if he reached it.”可知，此句表示团队在马洛里遗体没找到照片，而他本打算登顶留照片，所以没找到照片这件事很重要。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Mallory and Irvine were last seen near the mountain’s Second Step ... Climbing this part is very difficult ... Without the right tools ... impossible to reach the top”可知，后文讲述在第二步附近，攀登难，没合适工具到顶难。核心是“攀登难度大”。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Did Mallory and Irvine really reach the top? Probably not, according to Anker.”可知，认为他们没登顶。故选A。 第二节 任务型阅读(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读心理专家 Dr. Know与求助者之间的对话，从方框中所给的A—E五个选项中选出正确选项（其中一项是多余选项），并回答小题。 Problems and Advice I want to buy a computer.

B Ethan Hill, now aged 13, started helping homeless (无家可归的) people when he was 6. Over time, his organization—Ethan’s Heart has grown. It allows him to open a free moving store and give out more than 5,000 care bags. His organization began when Ethan noticed a homeless man on his way to school each day, and he felt he had to do something to help. It was going to snow, and he was worried about the man. Ethan had received $100 on Christmas that year and he decided to find out what homeless people would need online. He bought some boxes and filled them with food, drinks, hats, a tent and other necessary things. Then he gave the boxes to the homeless. Later, Ethan won the Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes and decided to use his prize money to help others. He used the money to buy a trailer (挂车) and turned it into a free store. His mom and dad help with money raising and everyday tasks. They both work to make his dreams come true—and he always dreams really big! In traditional food banks, homeless people have to take what is prepared for them and cannot choose. But Ethan’s free moving store allows them to pick exactly what they need. It creates less waste and makes them feel good for free shopping. When his trailer is not out serving the neighborhood, it goes to schools and other places to teach people about homelessness and the needs of the homeless. For Ethan, being young doesn’t stop him from making a difference. Instead, it gives him a fresh set of eyes to look at a problem and solve it. His story shows that even small acts can make a big difference in the world. 19. What made Ethan start his organization? A. Seeing a homeless man on the way to school. B. Advice from his parents about helping others. C. Winning a prize for helping someone in need. D. A school activity about helping the homeless. 20. How did Ethan use his prize money? A. To buy some Christmas gifts. B. To make 5,000 care bags. C. To give money to the homeless. D. To buy a trailer to help others. 21. How is Ethan’s moving store different? A. It prepares better food and clothes. B. It lets the homeless choose what they need. C. It provides cheaper food and drinks. D. It stays in the same neighborhood every day. 22. Which word can describe Ethan Hill best? A. Talented. B. Humorous. C. Kind-hearted. D. Rich. C Some people say that childhood is the best time of your life. However, being a child has good sides and bad sides. On the good side, you have few duties (职责). For example, you don’t have to go to work, pay for things you need, or do the shopping or housework. This means you have lots of free time to do whatever you want—watch TV, play video games, go out with friends, play sports, or take up other hobbies. Besides, public transport (公共交通), cinemas, and sports centers cost much less for children. So being a child can be a fun time of life. However, every coin (硬币) has two sides. For one thing, you have to spend all day, every day, Monday to Friday, at school and this certainly means that you have to do homework and take exams. What is more, although you have free time, you are hardly allowed to do whatever you want. You need your parents’ permission (允许) before going out with friends, staying out late, or going to parties. It can sometimes seem that they want to stop you having any fun. Last of all, things may be cheaper for children, but that doesn’t mean they are cheap. Children depend on getting money from parents and only some parents choose to give or are able to give a lot. So not all children can afford many fun activities or the things they like. All in all even though childhood doesn’t have many duties, I really think it is not the best part of life. On the one hand, children may have free time, but on the other hand, they do not have the freedom (自由) to choose what to do with it. They can feel pressured both by parents and schools. Also, the greater duties that come with age make their own pressures, too. 23. Which is a good side of childhood according to the text? A. Free tickets for public transport. B. No homework during weekends. C. More time to spend on hobbies. D. Freedom to choose fun activities. 24. What does the underlined word “afford” in Paragraph 3 mean? A pay for B. wait for C. part with D. learn from 25. Where do the pressures on children mostly come from according to the text? ①No free time ②Parents. ③Housework. ④ Schools. ⑤Growing duties. A. ①②③ B. ①③⑤ C. ②③④ D. ②④⑤ 26. Which can be the best title of the text? A. Parents-The Controllers of Childhood? B. Childhood-Is it the Best Time of Life? C. Homework-Children’s Biggest Problem? D. Schools-Main Reason of Childhood Stress? D Were Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay really the first people to reach the top of the world’s highest mountain? Some believe that British climbers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine reached the top before them in June 1924. Unluckily, this is difficult to know for sure because both men disappeared somewhere high on the mountain. In 1999, a team of climbers visited the mountain, hoping to learn the truth. Near the First Step, on the way to the mountain top, the team found Mallory’s oxygen tank (氧气罐), which shows he and Irvine had been near the top. Close by, a member of the team-Conrad Anker-discovered Mallory’s body (尸体). When the team checked Mallory’s body, they found things like a knife and matches, but no photos. Why is this important? Mallory had carried a photo of his wife with him. He had planned to leave the photo at the top of the mountain, if he reached it. So some people guess he might reach the top. Did Mallory and Irvine really reach the top? Probably not, according to Anker. Here are some reasons why he thought this way. ______: Mallory and Irvine were last seen near the mountain’s Second Step. This is a 27-meter wall of rock. Climbing this part is very difficult, even with modern climbing equipment (设备). Without the right tools, it is impossible that Mallory and Irvine were able to continue to the top. No frostbite (冻伤): Mallory and Irvine were seen near the top late in the day. Climbers who reach the top at this time need to camp at the top. If they do this, it is common to get frostbite. But Mallory’s body had no signs of frostbite. So what happened to Mallory and Irvine? Anker thinks they probably turned back just after the First Step. When Mallory was going down the mountain, perhaps he fell by accident. Irvine’s body has never been found. Whatever happened, they will always be remembered as early brave climbers. 27. Why did the team climb the mountain in 1999? A. To search for Mallory’s oxygen tank. B. To check if Irvine left his photo at the top. C. To become as famous as Hillary and Tenzing. D. To learn if Mallory and Irvine reached the top. 28. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The team didn’t find photos on Mallory’s body. B. The team found some matches on Mallory’s body. C. The team found Mallory’s dead body near the top. D. The team found Mallory’s oxygen tank near the top. 29. Which of the following can be put into “______” in Paragraph 5? A. Reach the top B. Difficult climb C. Camp at night D. Right tools 30. Which of the following would Conrad Anker probably agree with? A. Mallory and Irvine didn’t reach the mountain top. B. Modern climbers can easily climb the Second Step. C. Mallory fell when he took a photo at the mountain top. D. Mallory and Irvine camped near the top and got frostbite. 第二节 任务型阅读(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读心理专家 Dr. Know与求助者之间的对话，从方框中所给的A—E五个选项中选出正确选项（其中一项是多余选项），并回答小题。 Problems and Advice I want to buy a computer.
