Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
The desire to sleep late can be almost too much to resist at weekends.This Saturday morning, though, there was something important enough to get me up early.Yawning widely, I got out of bed and put on old jeans and a Tshirt.After combing the house for work gloves, my dad found a pair my mother used for gardening and took them along.
We hopped (跳) in the car and headed into Boston.Guided by my directions, Dad was somehow able to get us to our destination:a row of twostory houses.They were in the process of being built, mostly by volunteers like us.
After grabbing a huge leather tool belt, I met the people I would be working with.Virginia, James and Wilbur were all more than twice my age but treated me like a peer (同龄人).We got to work nailing the frames of walls.By the lunch break I had hit what seemed like every tough spot in the whole house, and pried (撬起) countless bent nails.The rest of the day went by quickly as I gained efficiency with my hammer.Soon it was time to pack up.
As I was leaving, a woman came into the house.She saw the progress we'd made upstairs and started looking around the rooms.Then I realised who the woman was—her family would be living in the house.As she walked through each room, I could see her planning where furniture would go.
Even though I had only been there one short day out of weeks of construction,I felt a great sense of accomplishment.When these houses were finished,six families would have nice homes.
Thank Habitat for Humanity for giving me such an opportunity to make a difference to others' lives.Habitat for Humanity is an international organisation.Local information can be found by visiting www.habitat, org.You are welcome to join and be part of the change you want to see in your community.

3.Which of the following words can best describe the author?
A.Caring. B.Brave.
C.Ambitious. D.Sensitive.
解析:A [推理判断题。根据第二段中的“They were in the process of being built,mostly by volunteers like us.”及最后一段中的“... giving me such an opportunity to make a difference to others' lives”可知,作者在做义工,在为改变他人的生活状况积极努力,故可推断作者是一个乐于助人的人。]

Internal communication, also known as IC, refers to a chain of processes responsible for effective circulation of messages within an organization.These messages are information that is valuable to the organization and are supposed to be kept confidential (机密的).The means of transferring this information is often done through emails, letters, notice boards, and even with the help of social media like Skype, Zoom, and Google Meet, in the current times.
Honest internal communication is the healthiest way to keep your organization growing.With honesty around the workplace, it is a safer environment for the employees to release their opinions which could help in the modification of a certain operation that might have been outdated.Other than changes, not opening up to your colleagues can result in frustration and give rise to “gossip culture” at the workplace.When information is not passed out with lucidity ,not only does the quality of work get affected but it also gives rise to questioning the worth of the time spent in the company.
An atmosphere of honesty also encourages growth in responsibility, leadership, and selfaccountability.If the CEO of a company voices the shortcomings of his team in a respectful manner, it would bring room for each employee to take them on a positive note and bring changes for the common development goal of the company that they are working for.This brings a lot of changes in the attitude of every individual employee since they start seeing the company that they are working for as an asset that they cherish(珍爱) dearly.
In a workplace, things go both wrong and right, so it is important to both appreciate and criticize when such situations occur from the end of both the leadership and the employees.The positives should be celebrated while the negatives should be taken as positive criticisms that could help the company grow into something better.The main goal of unity and development should always be kept in mind.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要以内部沟通为话题,讲述了其对于公司、领导以及员工的重要意义。诚实的内部沟通是保持组织成长的最健康的方式,诚实的氛围也鼓励责任感、领导力和自我责任感的增长。
5.Which is considered one main character of IC?
A.It comes with the times of social media.
B.It exists within the leadership of a company.
C.It is often kept secret within an organization.
D.It needs a long and difficult process in most cases.
解析:C [细节理解题。根据第一段前两句“Internal communication...These messages are information that is valuable to the organization and are supposed to be kept confidential.”可知,内部沟通中的信息是有价值的、机密的。由此可知,C项“它在一个组织中通常是保密的。”符合题意。故选C。]
6.What does the underlined word “lucidity” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Clearness. B.Assistance.
C.Authority. D.Appreciation.
解析:A [词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“not only does the quality of work get affected but it also gives rise to questioning the worth of the time spent in the company”可知,“When information is not passed out with lucidity”造成的结果并不好,造成这样的结果是因为内部沟通中的信息没有得到清楚的传达。由此可推测,lucidity的意思应该是“清楚,明确”,与A项表达的含义一致。故选A。]
7.What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.The main responsibilities of the CEO.
B.The importance of unity for a company.
C.The advantage of a powerful leadership.
D.The role of an honest leadership in a company.
解析:D [主旨大意题。根据第三段第一句“An atmosphere of honesty also encourages growth in responsibility, leadership, and selfaccountability.”及下文用公司CEO举例,具体讲述真诚的领导能够在公司发挥积极的作用可知,D项“真诚的领导在公司的作用。”符合该段主旨。故选D。]
8.What does the author suggest to us in a workplace in the last paragraph?
A.Taking responsibilities bravely for our mistakes.
B.Trying all possible means to avoid the negatives.
C.Strengthening unity mainly among the employees.
D.Communicating both the positives and the negatives.
解析:D [推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“In a workplace, things go both wrong and right, so it is important to both appreciate and criticize...”可知,在作者看来,工作中的事情有好有坏,所以就会有欣赏和批评。由此可推测,作者应是建议在工作中应该诚实地传达信息,无论好坏,与D项“优点和缺点都要传达。”的表述相符。故选D。]
