Ⅱ.融合教材·主题探究
【改编自译林选必四U1】
Honoured guests, teachers and students, it is my pleasure and privilege to welcome you here today and present my thoughts on this special occasion.
Students, the time has arrived for you to fully accept your passage into adulthood. I have seen you grow from nervous Senior 1 students into confident young adults, who sit before me today, ready to embrace the next phase of your lives. You must be both excited and anxious about the new experiences that are in store for you. Don't worry, for you are all responsible young people, well prepared and well equipped to successfully manage the challenges of the years ahead.
At school, you have gradually understood the importance of a well-developed sense of responsibility. You accept that you are responsible for your successes and your failures. Hopefully, you have learnt to treat responsibility not as a weight that burdens you, but rather as a foundation which will support your future development. A ship without an anchor is at the mercy of the waves and winds; likewise, a person who has no sense of responsibility is at the mercy of their own careless and thoughtless behaviour.
As students, you must take your studies seriously and accept responsibility for your own learning. This means meeting deadlines for your schoolwork, following your teachers' guidance, and of course, always aiming for academic excellence. However, your responsibilities go far beyond your studies. As you go through your daily life, you will encounter many difficult situations where things may go wrong. Instead of being quick to blame others, analyse the problem, and if it is indeed your own fault, be ready to admit your mistake and then correct it. This way, you practise the virtue of courage. Always give your best in whatever you set out to do, however difficult that might be.

B 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Hopefully...but rather as a foundation which will support your future development.”可知,演讲者建议把责任当作未来发展的基础。
3.What is NOT considered as a student's responsibility?
A.Meeting schoolwork deadlines.
B.Following teachers' guidance.
C.Aiming for academic excellence.
D.Managing school facilities.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This means meeting deadlines...aiming for academic excellence.”可知,并未提到管理学校设施,D项不是学生的责任。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
At a new building in Landover, Maryland, students are getting a crash course (速成课程), in which they are learning how to spend, save and look after their money responsibly.
Junior Achievement of Greater Washington, a volunteer-driven organization that provides programs focusing on work readiness, entrepreneurship (创办企业的精神) and financial literacy, hosted a grand opening of JA Finance Park, where eighth graders from Prince George's County Public Schools will use tablet computers to practice personal finance skills they have learned in class. An international study before clearly showed that more than 1 in 6 U.S. teens were unable to make simple choices about how to spend their money.
In the fall of 2010, Junior Achievement of Greater Washington opened doors to the first JA Finance Park in the region. JA Finance Park brings hands-on financial literacy education to students each year. There have been more than fifteen JA finance Parks nationwide up to now. The JA finance Park facility and operations are supported by a broad cross-section of the region's leading businesses and organizations. These partnerships allow Junior Achievement to transform thousands of youth into financially capable JA Finance Park graduates each year.
Before coming to JA Finance Park, students have lessons on how to save and invest, how to read a bank statement and how to make out debit cards (借记卡) and credit cards. They put their skills to the test when they walk inside. Students are given a career, salary, debt and family situation, and then they are required to put together a monthly budget.
Budgeting can be trick. Students need to figure out how much to spend on groceries, rent, transportation and even entertainment. They shop with virtual money, making a change in their budgets according to different situations they may go into.
When asked about the practice, a teacher at Benjamin Tasker Middle School in Bowie said the center was exciting and surprising for her students. One of the kids said, “Now I know why my mom gets mad at me when I ask her to buy me things!”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。“大华盛顿青年成就”是一个致力于为学生提供专注于金融知识、工作准备和创业精神的课程的组织,其开设的JA金融园区为学生提供了亲身实践的金融知识教育。文章对该组织的JA金融园区进行了相关介绍。

4.What does the last paragraph try to tell us?
A.U.S.teens need a lot of things in daily life.
B.Teachers also learn a lot from the crash course.
C.JA Finance Park has a good effect on students.

On January 14, 2006, Ben Keene received an email that changed his life. He had just taken a sip of hot tea when the message popped up, and Keene did a double-take at the subject line: “A TRIBE IS WANTED”.
From there, Ben co-founded Tribewanted, an eco-friendly sustainable community existing in the virtual world of the Internet and on an actual desert island at the same time.
With huge media interest, the courageous and bold idea could have had enormous consequences for tourism. The idea behind Tribewanted was to recruit (招募) a group of similar people online before heading to the Fijian Island of Vorovoro to build a sustainable community alongside the local native tribe.
The idea was swept along with a flood of interest, with the island lease (租约) secured, the virtual community sprung to life. All major decisions on the island were voted on by an online tribe that anyone around the world could join. The idea was so exciting that the journey was turned into a 5-part BBC series “Paradise or Bust” and a book, Tribewanted.
Ben spent 10 years building and expanding Tribewanted beyond the crowdfunded sustainable-tourism villages on an island in Fiji, to a beach in Sierra Leone and a farm in Umbria. He faced challenges including a fire sweeping through the island in the first week of the project, a military coup (政变), and a hurricane that threatened to destroy the emerging village. Online disagreements also made decision making hard and pushed the project to the edge.
The project survived, and for a while, thrived. From there Ben joined Escape the City, a global community with the mission to help one million people to do work that matters to them and the world, inspiring thousands of talented career changers and ambitious businessmen to take the leap and launch their ideas into the world. Ben led the Escape School team for 5 years, and became a business advisor and guider. Ben has supported and guided thousands of people to set up impactful businesses on a limited budget.
