课时测评5　Section Ⅰ　Starting out & Understanding ideas—Comprehending (时间：45分钟　满分：32.5分) (本栏目内容，在学生用书中以独立形式分册装订！) Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分，共20分) A On any given day, you can find most 10-year-old boys throwing a ball around outside, riding bikes or playing video games. But Braden Baker is different. Braden is a hearing-damaged 5th-grader and has to wear hearing aids(助听器). Unluckily, Braden’s dog Chewy found his hearing aids on the floor and destroyed them—not once but twice and they had to be replaced. But at $3,500 to $6,000 a pair, Braden’s carelessness was costly. Braden’s mother Ashley sat Braden down and had a long talk about taking better care of his hearing aids, explaining how much they cost. “I told him that he was lucky to get another pair and that some people couldn’t afford a new pair，” Ashley said. Those words stuck in Braden’s mind, who realized not every child who needed hearing aids could afford them. Recently the 10-year-old boy decided to start a GoFundMe page to raise money for those who aren’t so lucky. Braden made a video to explain why he wanted to raise money. Ashley said, “We weren’t sure how it would turn out. He began with a goal of $1,000. We woke up the next morning and found it had raised $400.” This encouraged him to start making more videos. Fast-forward a few months and Braden’s GoFundMe page has raised over $15,000, which Braden donated to the Oticon Hearing Foundation. That money will be used to help other families buy hearing aids for their children. The project has not only taught Braden the value of money, but according to his mom, “He’s learned that if you put a small idea into action, amazing things can happen.” Braden’s advice to those looking for ways to give back to others is “Don’t give up! Any small idea can get really big.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一名10岁听障男孩制作网页并录制视频发起筹款，帮助贫困听障儿童购买助听器。 1．Why did Braden have to change his hearing aids? A．He lost his old hearing aids carelessly.

Mahoney chose a 79-year-old senior named Eleanor, who not only gave goods to the people at the pub where Mahoney worked but also volunteered at the local homeless shelter. Mahoney wanted to get to know Eleanor better, so she asked that they spend a day together—picking up fruits, getting their nails done, that kinds of thing. “It was the first time in years that someone had made a day about her，” says the 30-year-old. “That focus made her shine.” Their shared experience got Mahoney thinking. How many other seniors might benefit from that kind of attention? And has some of those seniors delayed their dreams because they’d been busy caring for others? Chisholm, now 31, was equally interested in these questions, and together the pair set up their new charity: We Are Young(WAY). WAY has since delivered on 38 dreams—from a helicopter trip over a childhood blueberry-picking place to travelling to Toronto to watch a Blue Jays game. These dreams are to work out problems caused by the health and loneliness of seniors. 78-year-old Victor wanted to go to the beach—a dream he’d given up when it had become too physically difficult to reach the sea. The team at WAY offered a boat for him and his son in the fall of 2021 so they could reach the sea and spend the day enjoying themselves on the beach. “If you lose the sense of purpose that having a passion(激情) can give you, your self-confidence goes down，” says Mahoney. “Now, Victor has got some of his self-confidence again—and his sense of humour. We want to show that anything is possible with the support of others.” “We want to create a movement that changes our whole society’s opinion and support for seniors，” says Mahoney. “That is the influence we’re trying to create.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了很多老人忙着帮助他人却失去了实现梦想的机会，为此马奥尼和奇泽姆创立了一个新的慈善组织，旨在帮助这些老人实现他们未实现的梦想。 5．How did Eleanor feel after spending a day with Mahoney? A．She was panicked. B．She was in a good mood. C．She was confused. D．She was tired. 答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It was the first time in years that someone had made a day about her，” says the 30-year-old.“That focus made her shine.”可知，在与马奥尼待在一起完成一系列的事情后，埃莉诺很开心。故选B项。 6．Why did Mahoney and Chisholm set up WAY? A．To help seniors get answers to the questions. B．To make themselves become better. C．To make seniors’ delayed dreams a reality. D．To realise their own delayed dreams. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Their shared experience... because they’d been busy caring for others？”可知，有些老人忙着照顾他人而推迟自己的梦想，所以马奥尼和奇泽姆成立新的慈善组织WAY旨在帮助老人实现延迟的梦想。故选C项。 7．What effect has WAY had on Victor? A．He has made more friends. B．He has started a new hobby. C．He has become high-spirited. D．He has regained his son’s support. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Now, Victor has got some of his self-confidence again—and his sense of humour.”可知，维克多如今恢复了自信和幽默感，由此可知，WAY让维克多变得意气风发。故选C项。 8．What is the best title for the article? A．Seniors Deserve More Care B．WAY for Seniors’ Delayed Dreams C．An Act of Kindness D．Seniors’ Dreams Come True 答案：B 解析：标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了马奥尼和奇泽姆创立了慈善组织WAY，旨在帮助老人实现延迟的梦想，并重拾生活的目标和激情。故B项可作为本文最佳标题。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分，共12.5分) If you’re considering volunteering in South Africa with beautiful nature and wild animals, you’re probably wondering: What does an average working day look like?
