John Michael Thomas, 14, Florida
When John Michael Thomas decided to honor his friend and classmate Elizabeth Buckley, who died from cancer, he remembered how much she loved peacocks.
He wanted to build a life-sized peacock fountain in Elizabeth’s favorite park in the city.He thought it could be a place for people to relax and be inspired.
John Michael raised $52,000 to build the fountain.
Barrett England, 13, Utah
The wheels began to turn for Barrett England when he heard about Karma Bike shop, a place where young people can earn free bike by reading and performing community service.
Barrett visited Karma’s owner with his idea: He would collect and repair used bikes and donate them to the shop.
He expected to get about 10 donated bikes.In the end, Barrett received 39.
Zachary Blohm, 15, Wisconsin
The 25-year-old playground at an elementary school near Milwaukee, Wis., was so small that only 70 of its 575 students could play on it at a time.
That’s when Zachary Blohm saved the day.He and some volunteers build a huge playground.To raise money, Zachary planned T-shirt and bake sales, sold tickets and more.He held monthly money-raising events for more than a year.Overall, he collected$130,000 — enough to finish his project.
Jack Zimmerman, 16, New Jersey
For some people, finding a meal is as simple as opening the refrigerator.For more than 366,000 hungry kids in New Jersey, it’s not that easy.
That fact didn’t sit well with Jack Zimmerman, who organized a drive to lessen childhood hunger in his state.His goal: create 40,000 packaged meals that could be donated to those in need.
On game day, Jack and his volunteers started their work.After the final count, the team had packaged 47,124 meals — well above Jack’s goal.

答案:D
解析:推理判断题。由第一部分的“When John Michael Thomas ...peacocks.”可知,当John Michael Thomas 决定纪念死于癌症的朋友兼同学Elizabeth Buckley时,他记得她很喜欢孔雀。由此判断出,下文讲他要建造一个孔雀喷泉,就是为了纪念他的同学。故选D项。
22.What did Barrett do for Karma Bike shop?
A.He repaired bikes there.
B.He donated bikes to it.
C.He helped it win customers.
D.He offered a reading service there.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。由第二部分的“Barrett visited Karma’s owner ...shop.”可知,Barrett带着他的这一想法去见了Karma的店主:他将收集并修理二手自行车,然后捐给商店。所以他为商店做的事就是捐赠修好的二手车给商店。故选B项。
23.Who improved a place for children to play?
A.Jack Zimmerman. B.Zachary Blohm.
C.Barrett England. D.John Michael Thomas.
答案:B

B
A boy shivered (颤抖) in the freezing cold Oslo winter, wrapping his arms around himself on a bus stop bench. He wasn’t wearing a coat and the temperature in the Norwegian capital regularly was 10 degrees centigrade in winter.
It was really a heartbreaking scene, but the actions of the ordinary people who witnessed the difficult situation of 11-year-old Johanne Linnestad Flaaten were both joyous and inspiring.
A young woman sat next to the boy and noticed him rubbing his arms. She immediately asked him, “Don’t you have a jacket?” “No, someone stole, ” he replied. She questioned him and discovered he was on a school trip and was told to meet his teacher at the bus stop. She asked him the name of his school and where he was from as she selflessly covered her own coat around his shoulders.
Later, another older woman at first gave him her scarf, and then wrapped him in her large jacket. Throughout the day, more and more people offered Johanne their gloves and even the coats off their backs as they waited for their bus.
Johanne’s difficult situation was a hidden camera experiment by Norwegian charity SOS Children’s Village as part of their winter campaign to gather donations to send much-needed coats and blankets to help Syrian children get through the winter. Many of the refugees (难民) have left their homes without winter clothing.
“People should care as much about children in Syria as they care about this boy, ” Synne Runnine, the information head of SOS Children’s Village Norway, told The Local. She also told that the child was a volunteer who was never in any danger during the filming.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是挪威慈善团体SOS儿童村发起冬日行动, 为筹集更多捐赠给叙利亚儿童送冬日的生活必需品。
24.Which of the following statements is correct according to the passage?
A.SOS Children’s Village was holding some donation activities.
B.The older woman was the first person to offer Johanne her scarf.
C.Johanne’s parents were too poor to buy him a jacket.
D.11-year-old Johanne got injured in the campaign.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段的“Later, another older woman at first gave him her scarf, and then wrapped him in her large jacket.”可知, 老妇人是第一个把围巾递给Johanne的人。
25.Why did Johanne Linnestad Flaaten stay on the bus stop bench?
A.His parents couldn’t afford him a warm coat.
B.Someone stole his jacket.
C.He was a volunteer to do an experiment.
D.He was doing an experiment of cold resistance.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知, Johanne Linnestad Flaaten待在公交车站的长椅上是因为他在做实验, 他是这次实验的志愿者。
26.What do Synne Runnine’s words imply?
A.People’s care about Johanne is enough.
B.People’s care about children in Syria is not enough.
C.People should care more about children in Syria than they care about Johanne.
D.People should care more about Johanne than they care about children in Syria.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。 根据最后一段中“People should care as much about children in Syria as they care about this boy”可知, Synne Runnine的意思是人们对叙利亚儿童的关心是不够的。
27.Which is the best title for the passage?
A.When You Have No Coat in a Cold Winter
B.When You Face Refugees Crowding into Your Country
C.When You Help Syria Children without Winter Clothing
D.When You Meet a Boy Wearing No Coat
答案:D
解析:标题归纳题。通读全文可知, 本文主要讲的是挪威慈善团体SOS儿童村发起冬日行动, 让志愿者不穿外套坐在公交车站, 目的是筹集更多捐赠给叙利亚儿童送冬日的生活必需品, 因此最好的标题是D选项(当你遇到一个没穿外套的男孩)。
C
“Twelve years ago, I was a professional dancer and black belt in taekwondo(跆拳道) when a disease went undiagnosed and wiped out my muscular system. I finally ended up on life support in intensive care unit with organ failure,” Kaufman recalled. “I went from living this big life to not knowing how I was going to survive. Fortunately, on my birthday in 2009, I received a new heart and was given a second chance of life!”
After volunteering in Los Angeles hospitals, Kaufman started the non-profit organization, Ava’s Heart. She and her organization offered transplant patients services that were often not covered by insurance, including food, gas, co-pays on medicines, and housing.
“What I found out was that if you didn’t have post-transplant housing, you couldn’t get listed and admitted into the hospital,” Kaufman said. She learned that for the nearly 110,000 people in the US waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant, it was not just a matter of adding their name to the list. Patients must be financially secure and be able to afford transportation. What’s more, they must find accommodations near their transplant hospital. Kaufman runs two housing locations, which allow the patients to remain close to their transplant hospital during the period of their aftercare, typically about three months at no cost.
Her organization also helps donor families, which she thinks make the whole circle complete. “One organ donor can save eight lives and then there’s tissue and skin and eyes and blood vessels(血管) and so many other things,” Kaufman said. “The donor is the whole story. Without the donor, there are no transplant enters, no transplant surgeons, and no me. In my eyes, the donors are the heroes.”
To date, Ava’s Heart had helped nearly 90 families with burial costs for their loved ones whose organs have saved lives. Kaufman also works to build relationships between receivers and donor families and spread awareness of the importance of organ donation.
语篇解读 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了Kaufman在获得他人的器官捐献而重获新生后,成立非营利组织去帮助其他病人的故事。
28.Why did Kaufman talk about her memory in Paragraph 1?
A.To illustrate the significance of life.
B.To recall her plain and boring days.
C.To indicate her motivation for paying back.
D.To confirm her enthusiasm for the profession.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。由第二段中的“After volunteering in Los Angeles hospitals... offered transplant patients services”可知,第二段及下文都在讲她和她的非营利组织帮助其他病人的事情,这些都是源于她获得了器官捐献而重获新生,所以第一段提及她的经历是为了表明她回报(去帮助别人)的动机,故选C项。
29.For a transplant patient, admission into the hospital requires __________.
A.secure finance
B.health insurance
C.sufficient community service hours
D.working experience in the hospital
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。由第三段中的“Patients must be financially secure... near their transplant hospital.”可知,病人必须有经济保障、在医院附近有住处、能负担起交通才能入院治疗,故选A项。
30.Which of the following can best describe Kaufman?
A.Brave and caring.
B.Grateful and warm-hearted.
C.Considerate and hardworking.
D.Sympathetic and easy-going.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。由第一段中的“I received a new heart and was given a second chance of life”和第二段中的“Kaufman started the non-profit organization, Ava’s Heart”可知,Kaufman受人帮助后成立了非营利组织去帮助其他病人,由此可推断出她是感恩和热心的,故选B项。
31.What message does the text mainly convey?
A.It’s better to give than to receive.
B.Health matters much more than wealth.
C.The blessed should bear the heart of giving.
D.Volunteering makes the world a better place.
答案:C
解析:主旨大意题。由最后一段中的“To date, Ava’s Heart has helped nearly 90 families with burial costs for their loved ones”并联系全文可知,Kaufman有爱心、懂得感恩,她得到帮助后转而去帮助其他人,所以本文的中心思想是“被带来幸福的人应怀一颗奉献之心”,故选C项。
D
The 61-year-old potato farmer Cliff Young won the 1983 Westfield Sydney-Melbourne Ultramarathon, which took runners days to finish, in Australia.
When Cliff showed up in the race, he stuck out like a sore thumb in his everyday clothes different from the other professional runners’, quickly attracting the attention of reporters present.
“I grew up on a farm where we couldn’t afford horses. Whenever the storms would roll in, I’d have to go out and round up the sheep,” Cliff told reporters. “Sometimes I’d have to run those sheep for two or three days, but I’d always catch them. I believe I can run this race.” No one actually believed him. Most competitors were in their 20s and early 30s, with years of training and marathon experience.
On the first day of the race, Cliff was left far behind. But he had one advantage that no one had expected. He didn’t plan on stopping until he reached the finish line while all the others had been training to run for 18 hours a day and then stop and sleep for the other six.
When dawn broke, the other runners were shocked to learn that the old farmer was in the lead and that they would have to catch up with him. Although running slowly, he was the first to cross the finish line and received $10,000 as a prize. But he kept none of the prize and donated it to the homeless.
Cliff continued to run. In 1997, he set out to raise funds for homeless kids by running all 16,000 kilometers of the Australian coastline. In 2000, Cliff achieved a world age record in a six-day race in Victoria. Cliff Young died at 81, but his legend lives on.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The hardest thing to do is keep trying hard to achieve our goal when we see no signs of change. This is because our brains like observable evidence that our efforts are getting us closer to what we want and who we want to become. __36__ So how do we keep motivated and continue fighting when it seems to make no progress?
Keep a detailed daily record. Write down any and all observable changes, even if you feel like they are not worthy to be written down. Those kinds of changes usually do not continue in our memories, so we may not be able to notice all the changes that are actually happening. __37__
Don’t compare with anyone else. Celebrate what is happening in your journey rather than looking at someone else’s path and thinking about what happened to them. __38__ You don’t need to come in “first place”.
Question your expectations. Remember to often ask yourself: __39__ Unrealistic expectations increase frustration and disappointment and can be difficult for you to recover from when unmet.
__40__ If you stare at the minute hand of a clock, the passing of an hour will seem like a lifetime. When you are working on a goal, it is important to diversify(使多样化) how you spend your time. Doing so will reduce your disappointment if your goal is not happening fast enough.
A.Have a life outside of your goal.
B.Remember that life is not a race.
C.However, things don’t always go smoothly.
D.What do I expect to achieve by setting this goal?
E.Undoubtedly, our efforts will pay off sooner or later.
F.Are my expectations of how and when I meet my goal realistic?
G.Small changes, when gathered, eventually lead to the big change that we long for.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。我们在朝着目标前进的时候,即使看不到变化的迹象,也要保持奋斗的动力;不要和别人作比较,要善于检查自己的期望是否现实;变化总是积小成大的,我们终究会实现目标。
36.答案:C
解析:上文讲到大脑喜欢可观察到的能够证明我们有进步的证据;下文提出问题:我们该如何在似乎看不到进步的时候仍然保持动力呢?由此可知,设空处表示转折,表示事情并不总是一帆风顺的。故选C项。
37.答案:G
解析:根据第二段第一句可知,本段主要讲要坚持写详细的日记。设空处前讲到,微小的变化在记忆中通常不会长久留存,所以我们不一定能注意到;G项(小的变动聚集在一起时,最终会产生我们渴望的大变化)承接上文,意在说明小的变化聚集在一起,最后就能积小成大。G项中的Small changes和big change与空前反复提到的changes相呼应。故选G项。
38.答案:B
解析:根据第三段第一句可知,本段主要讲不要和他人比较。B项中的a race与空后的come in “first place”相呼应,此处表示生活不是比赛,你不必去争“第一”。故选B项。
39.答案:F
解析:上文“Question your expectations. Remember to often ask yourself”提到了要质疑自己的期望;下文讲的是不切实际的期望所带来的后果。由此可知,设空处讲的是要判断自己对实现目标的方式和时间的期望是否现实,以引出下文所述的不切实际的期望所带来的后果。故选F项。
40.答案:A
解析:分析文章结构可知,设空处是本段的主旨句。根据空后的内容可知,本段主要讲如果只专注于一个目标,生活会变得单调且你会感到目标十分遥远,因此应该让自己的生活更加丰富多彩,让度过时间的方式更加多样化。A项中的goal与下文中反复提及的goal相呼应。故选A项。

I’ll send my mother some roses.”
He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a young man talking to the girl in it.“How many roses can I get for fifty dollars, Miss?” the boy asked.The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive.Maybe the young man would be happy with something else.
“No, I have to have roses.” he said, “my mom was badly sick last year and I didn’t get to spend much time with her.I want to get something special.It has to be red roses, because that is her favorite.” He was stubborn.
The girl in the shop looked up at Eric and was just shaking her head.Something inside of Eric was touched by the boy’s voice.He wanted to get those roses so badly.Eric had been blessed (幸运的) in his business, and he looked at the girl and silently said that he would pay for the boy’s roses.
The girl looked at the young man and said, “OK, I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars.” The young man almost jumped into the air.He took the flowers and ran down the store.It was worth more than fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement.
Eric ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have it delivered to his mother.After that, with a relief he drove down the road.Not long after his driving, he saw the boy walking to a graveyard(墓地).

Eric stopped his car and followed the young man.The young man went up to a small monument, and knelt down.He carefully put the flowers before it and began to sob.“Dear Mom, I love you.But how I regret I didn’t tell it when you were with me.I knew you loved roses.But why didn’t I send the flowers to you when I could still see you and talk with you? Now, you have gone to another world.How I regret I didn’t tell you I love you so much!”
Eric went into the car in tears. His mother’s home wasn’t far from here, but he hadn’t seen her for too long a time. He didn’t have a talk with her for too long a time and say how much he loved her for so long a time. He turned the car and drove towards the road quickly to the flower shop. He asked the girl to give back the flowers because he wanted to send them personally to his mom.
