My degree, with honours, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project. I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family. Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out. After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and extremely in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, food, and hearts as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me. Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and I returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.Answer the following questions in COMPLETE sentences: 1．When did the writer learn about the Lighthouse Project? 2．Why didn’t the writer make up his mind to apply for the Lighthouse Project at first? 3．The writer wasn’t the only candidate who became a member of the Lighthouse Project, was he? 4．What did the writer do in the village in Nigeria? 5．Why did the writer say “I returned to the United States a different man”? 【答案】1．The writer learned about the Lighthouse Project after leaving university. 2．Because he knew it would be a lot of hard work, he would be away from family and friends for a long time. 3．No, he wasn’t. 4．The writer led a team to build a new schoolhouse and taught in it. 5．Because the Lighthouse Project changed his life. 【导语】本文介绍作者在尼日利亚当志愿者的故事。 1．根据“Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do....That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.”可知作者在毕业离开学校的时候知道了灯塔项目。故填The writer learned about the Lighthouse Project after leaving university. 2．根据“I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time.

However, now a teenager with the same problems might go online and write them in a blog. In many ways, a diary and a blog are almost the same. They both tell what happened to the writer that day. So what makes a blog different from a diary? The biggest difference is that a blog is for much more people to ad than a diary. When I was my sister’s age, I wrote about the same things in my diary. And I would put my diary in a safe place because I was afraid that others might read it. Now people choose to write in blogs because they know their friends will read what they write. If my sister writes in her blog “Nobody cares about me”, her best friends will quickly read and tell her how much they like her. If people are caring about what they write, blogs are a very good way to write about the everyday life. However, I still like my old diary better. 1．Do blogs have more readers than diaries? 2．In what way are a diary and a blog almost the same? 3．Why do people choose to write in blogs now? 4．How do friends show their care when someone writes a sad message on a blog? 5．Do you think it’s better to write in a blog or a diary? Why? 【答案】1．Yes, they do./Yes. 2．They both tell what happened to the writer that day. 3．Because they know their friends will read what they write. 4．They will quickly read and tell him/her how much they like him/her. 5．I think it’s better to write in a blog. Because I want to share my thoughts with my friends online./I like writing a diary because I want to keep my secrets only to myself. (开放性问题，言之有理即可。) 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了写日记和写博客的相同点和不同点，最后作者表明他更喜欢写日记。 1．根据第二段“The biggest difference is that a blog is for much more people to ad than a diary. ”可知，最大的区别是，博客比日记更受欢迎，所以，博客读者更多。故填Yes, they do./Yes. 2．根据第一段“In many ways, a diary and a blog are almost the same. They both tell what happened to the writer that day.”可知，在许多方面，日记和博客几乎是一样的，他们都讲述了那天在作家身上发生的事情。故填They both tell what happened to the writer that day. 3．根据第三段“Now people choose to write in blogs because they know their friends will read what they write. ”可知，人们选择写博客，是因为他们知道他们的朋友会读到他们写的东西。故填Because they know their friends will read what they write. 4．根据第三段“If my sister writes in her blog ‘Nobody cares about me’, her best friends will quickly read and tell her how much they like her.”可知，如果有人在博客上写伤心的事情，朋友们会很快阅读并告诉他/她他们有多喜欢他/她。故填They will quickly read and tell him/her how much they like him/her. 5．根据文章大意可推测，如果喜欢写博客可能是想和朋友分享心情和思想；如果喜欢写日记可能是想日记中的秘密保留给自己看。故填I think it’s better to write in a blog. Because I want to share my thoughts with my friends online./I like writing a diary because I want to keep my secrets only to myself.(开放性问题，言之有理即可。) Passage 2 (24-25六上·上海长宁区第三女子初级中学·期中)Read the passage below and answer the following questions (根据文章内容回答下列问题).

Passage 3 (24-25六上·上海进才北校·期中) We can classify foods in a number of different ways. The first way is by type. There are five main types of foods. Firstly, there is fruit like apples, oranges, melons and dates. Secondly, we have vegetables, including carrots, peas and tomatoes. Thirdly, meat—chicken, beef and lamb. Then there’s fish.

My degree, with honours, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project. I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family. Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out. After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and extremely in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, food, and hearts as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.

The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.Answer the following questions in COMPLETE sentences: 1．When did the writer learn about the Lighthouse Project? 2．Why didn’t the writer make up his mind to apply for the Lighthouse Project at first? 3．The writer wasn’t the only candidate who became a member of the Lighthouse Project, was he? 4．What did the writer do in the village in Nigeria? 5．Why did the writer say “I returned to the United States a different man”? 二、说明文 Passage 1 (24-25六上·上海浦东新区·期中)根据文章内容回答下列问题。 Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his or her daily life, he or she might write them in the diary. However, now a teenager with the same problems might go online and write them in a blog. In many ways, a diary and a blog are almost the same. They both tell what happened to the writer that day. So what makes a blog different from a diary? The biggest difference is that a blog is for much more people to ad than a diary. When I was my sister’s age, I wrote about the same things in my diary. And I would put my diary in a safe place because I was afraid that others might read it. Now people choose to write in blogs because they know their friends will read what they write. If my sister writes in her blog “Nobody cares about me”, her best friends will quickly read and tell her how much they like her.
