He learned much through reading. This self-education 1 him to success. He opened a library after years of working. The library is different from 2 ones. It doesn’t need its readers to 3 the books. The reader is encouraged to pass the book on to someone else after reading. The idea took shape when Xu recommended books to students online. He found it hard for them to get the books sometimes, 4 those who don’t have a school library. If readers cannot find those books in their local libraries, Xu will mail the books to them for free. Xu buys and 5 nearly 1,000 books each year. “It might be the 6 library in the world,” said Xu. “But in another sense, it’s also the biggest because the books keep moving. I don’t even know where some of them have ended up.” Xu recalled the story of one reader who borrowed an English book on Chinese garden. Later, the reader passed it to a neighbour, who took it to Germany. “Just imagine it: that book started out from a small hutong, and travelled all the way to Europe. The 7 cannot be seen, yet it is powerful,” Xu said. It’s a wonder. Many wonders like this keep the culture of reading 8 . Xu says he will continue this work 9 the library faces the challenges (挑战) of e-books. “This is the most 10 thing I’ve done,” he says. “I hope the library can stay open forever.” 1．A．decided B．led C．caused D．excused 2．A．traditional B．useful C．noisy D．tidy 3．A．copy B．lend C．return D．check 4．A．certainly B．especially C．closely D．clearly 5．A．gives in B．gives away C．gives up D．gives back 6．A．largest B．richest C．oldest D．smallest 7．A．language B．garden C．reason D．journey 8．A．alive B．colourful C．possible D．real 9．A．as B．once C．though D．until 10．A．tiring B．common C．meaningful D．peaceful 六、五选五 You may have heard “volunteers” many times. You may also see them on the road, in a community centre, or at the hospital. 1 Volunteers are people who do a job without being paid. They are the people who are looking for the satisfaction of helping others.   2 Some volunteers read books onto tapes so that people with eye problems can hear. Some volunteers send meals to the old or sick people. Some volunteers help visitors when they don’t know the way or when they have some other problems. Volunteers help when a natural disaster hits a community. 3 They may help people leave the areas quickly when there is an earthquake, a tsunami or a flood. They may also help people rebuild their homes after the disasters. A community may not recover without the help of volunteers. 4 If the communities don’t have much money, they will need a lot of help from volunteers. And communities with lots of old people may need more help from volunteers than communities with more young people. Volunteers can help the old do the cleaning, do the shopping or just talk with them. 5 Volunteers have done a lot to the society. And they help improve people’s lives. So would you like to be a volunteer in the future? A．Then what are volunteers? B．Volunteers may help put out forest fires. C．Volunteers do many different kinds of jobs. D．Without them some communities even couldn’t work. E．Some communities need volunteers more than others. 七、阅读理解 Do you know that taking good care of gardens can be a way of doing charity? That’s what the National Garden Scheme (NGS) (国家花园计划) has been doing. The organization opens over 3,500 private(私人的) gardens in England and Wales for people to visit, and raises money through tickets, tea and cakes. The NGS has a rich and interesting history. At a meeting in 1926, Miss Elsie Wagg came up with the idea of raising money for district (地区) nursing through the nation’s obsession (沉迷) with gardening. A year later the NGS began to work and garden owners were asked to open their gardens for “a shilling (先令) a head”. As a result, 609 gardens opened and a total of £8,191 was raised that year. During the past century, the number of gardens grew, so the NGS was able to help more charities with a larger amount of money. Thanks to the kindness of garden owners, volunteers and visitors, it has donated a total of £70 million to nursing and health charities so far. It made a donation of £3.5 million in 2024 and about 70 pence (便士) in every £1 (1 pound=100 pence) went straight to organizations like Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie, Hospice UK and The Queen’s Institute of Community Nursing. The National Garden Scheme doesn’t just open beautiful gardens for charity. Its Gardens and Health programme also shows people the important role of gardening and gardens in helping open a path to health. 1．What is the National Garden Scheme in Britain? A．A scheme to learn gardening. B．A scheme for health education. C．A scheme to do charity. D．A scheme to enjoy garden life. 2．Why did Miss Elsie Wagg choose gardens as a way to raise money? A．Because the British had deep love for gardening. B．Because the number of gardens grew quickly in 1926. C．Because gardens had an interesting history in Britain. D．Because the garden owners in Britain were very rich. 3．How many pounds went straight to organizations like Macmillan Cancer Support in 2024? A．About £2 million. B．About £2.45 million. C．About £3.25 million. D．About £3.5 million. 4．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A．The National Garden Scheme started to work in 1926. B．Tea and cakes in these gardens are provided free of charge. C．The NGS donated £70 million to nursing and health charities in the 20th century. D．It’s a good idea to learn gardening because it can help you live a healthy life. 5．What’s the main purpose of this passage? A．To show how much the British love gardening. B．To show how much money can be made in British gardening. C．To explain the connection between NGS and gardening. D．To introduce NGS, a way to raise money for charities. 八、任务型阅读 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。每题答案不超过10个词。 “I like photography because it captures amazing things that you might not see again,” Timmy Watter says. He takes pictures of flowers, sunsets, road signs and ancient buildings. But those photos don’t usually end up in a photo album or on his bedroom walls. Timmy sells them and donates the money to help fight lung cancer. When Timmy was five, he found out that his aunt Bella had lung cancer. He wanted to do something to help her. His first plan was to sell his photos from a vendor’s stand (小贩摊位) in front of his house.“My mum said it wouldn’t work because we were not on a busy street,” Timmy explains. His next idea was to have an art show. Timmy decorated his home with candles, flowers and white lights. Then he arranged his photos. Timmy’s mum, Sara, remembers:“Everything was filled with photos, including our dining room table and the living room.” Timmy’s friends, family, and teachers came to the show. He raised more than $300 for cancer research that night. “Aunt Bella was very happy and excited,” Timmy says. After a local newspaper wrote a story about Timmy’s photos, a volunteer offered to help him set up a website called “Camera for a Cure”. As more and more people learnt about his cause, Timmy began receiving invitations to sell his pictures at art galleries and charity events. Since then, his work has appeared in more than 20 shows. To prepare, he takes lots of photographs. His mum helps him print and frame (给……镶框) them. Then he gives each one a price and decides where it will be displayed. When Timmy is at a show, he greets each customer and talks about what he was thinking when he took his photos. And he always shares facts about lung cancer. Sometimes donations and sales are slow, but Timmy isn’t worried. “It doesn’t matter how much money we made because __________,” he says. Timmy knows that finding a cure for lung cancer will take time and effort. So, Timmy will keep doing his part by taking and selling photos of the things he sees. 1．According to Timmy’s mum, why wouldn’t Timmy’s first plan work? _________________________________________________________ 2．Who helped Timmy raise money for cancer research in the first art show? _________________________________________________________ 3．How did Timmy’s mum help Timmy prepare for the art shows? _________________________________________________________ 4．What can be filled in the blank? _________________________________________________________ 5．What other creative ideas do you have for Timmy to help fight lung cancer? (Give one example.) _________________________________________________________ 1 / 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 4 Helping out 课时5 Developing ideas(Reading for writing)分层作业 核心知识速记 01基础达标 02能力提升 03拓展培优 04思维进阶 词汇 goodwill /ˌɡʊdˈwɪl/n. 好意，亲善，友善 soldier /ˈsəʊldʒə(r)/n. 士兵，军人 fireman /ˈfaɪəmən/n. 消防队员 against /əˈɡenst/prep. 和…… 对抗 graduate /ˈɡrædʒuət/n./ˈɡrædʒueɪt/v. 大学毕业 college /ˈkɒlɪdʒ/n. 大学；学院 warmth /wɔːmθ/n. 温暖 means /miːnz/n. 手段；方法；工具 lucky /ˈlʌki/adj. 运气好的，幸运的 短语 reduce sth to pieces把某物(尤指建筑物)夷为废墟 race against time 争分夺秒;与时间赛跑 a helping hand 援助之手 jump to one's feet 然来;猛地站来 a pair of一双;一副...... be touched by 被.........感动 make up one's mind 下决心;拿定主意 graduate from college 大学毕业 right away立刻;马上 sign up报名;注册 by no means绝不，一点儿都不 offer ..to..给..提供 词形变化 fireman n.消防队员-复数:firemen warmth n.温暖-warm adj.温暖的 means n.手段;方法;工具- mean v. 意味 lucky adj.运气好的，幸运的-luckily adv. 幸运地- luck n.运气 kindness n. 善意- kind adj. 友善的 一、单词默写。 1. __________ /ˌɡʊdˈwɪl/ n. 好意，亲善，友善 2. __________ /ˈsəʊldʒə(r)/ n. 士兵，军人 3. __________ /ˈfaɪəmən/ n. 消防队员 4. __________ /əˈɡenst/ prep. 和……对抗 5. __________ /ˈɡrædʒueɪt/ v. 大学毕业 6. __________ /ˈkɒlɪdʒ/ n. 大学；学院 7. __________ /wɔːmθ/ n. 温暖 8. __________ /miːnz/ n. 手段；方法；工具 9. . __________ /ˈlʌki/ adj. 运气好的，幸运的 答案 goodwill, soldier, fireman, against, graduate, college, warmth, means, lucky 二、词组默写。 1. ____________ 把某物(尤指建筑物)夷为废墟 2. ____________ 争分夺秒;与时间赛跑 3. ____________ 援助之手 4. ____________ 猛地站起来 5. ____________ 一双;一副…… 6. ____________ 被……感动 7. ____________ 下决心;拿定主意 8. ____________ 大学毕业 9. ____________ 立刻;马上 10. ____________ 报名;注册 11. ____________ 绝不，一点儿都不 11. ____________给..提供 答案 reduce sth to pieces, race against time, a helping hand, jump to one's feet, a pair of, be touched by, make up one's mind, graduate from college, right away, sign up, by no means, offer…to.. 三、用所给词的正确形式填空 1．Geoff was there for three weeks. He was very _________ (luck) to be alive. 【答案】lucky 【详解】句意：杰夫在那里待了三周，能活下来，他非常幸运。根据“He was very...to be...”可知空格处需填入形容词，作表语，提示词luck是名词，对应的形容词形式是lucky“幸运的”。故填lucky。 2．I had a feeling of _________ (warm) when I saw the light in the dark. 【答案】warmth 【详解】句意：当我在黑暗中看到那盏灯时，我感受到了一阵温暖。根据“I had a feeling of...”可知空格处需填入名词，作介词of的宾语，提示词warm是形容词对应的名词形式为warmth。故填warmth。 3．The _________ (fireman) drove to the burning house quickly as soon as they got the call. 【答案】firemen 【详解】句意：消防员们一接到电话就迅速开车赶往着火的房子。fireman“消防员”，可数名词。句中“they”指代消防员，是复数含义，所以空处要用复数形式的firemen。故填firemen。 4．You can lend him a hand. It is a way to show your _________ (kind). 【答案】kindness 【详解】句意：你可以帮他一把。这是展示你善意的一种方式。空格前是形容词性物主代词your，其后应接名词形式，kind是形容词，其名词形式为kindness。故填kindness。 5．She ________ (touch) by his kindness. 【答案】was touched 【详解】句意：她被他的善良所感动。“She”和“touch”之间是被动关系，应用被动语态；句子描述的是过去发生的事，用一般过去时的被动语态，结构为“was/were+过去分词”，主语“She”为第三人称单数，be动词用was，touch的过去分词为touched。故填was touched。 四、完成句子 1．她绝不是个毫无教学经验的教师。 She is ________ ________ ________ a teacher without any teaching experience. 【答案】 by no means 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺少“绝不”。by no means“绝不”，用于加强否定语气，在句中作状语。故填by；no；means。 2．我下定决心学好数学。 I _________ _________ my mind to learn math well. 【答案】make up 【详解】根据中英文对照，空格处缺少“下定”的英文翻译，下定决心：make up one’s mind，本句主语是第一人称I，陈述客观事实用一般现在时，谓语动词用原形。故填make up。 3．现在有点迟了。让我们立刻上车吧! It’s a little late now. Let’s get on the bus ________ ________! 【答案】 right away 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺少“立刻”。“立刻、马上”用固定短语“right away”表达，在句中作状语。故填right；away。 4．我们的父母总是尽力为我们提供更好的生活。 Our parents always try their best to ________ a better life ________ us. 【答案】 offer to 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺少“为……提供”。“为某人提供某物”用固定结构“offer sth. to sb.”表达，在“try one’s best to do sth.”结构中，to后面动词用原形。故填offer；to。 5．在课间休息时，狂风把旧横幅撕成了碎片。 The strong wind ________ the old banner ________ ________ during our class break. 【答案】 reduced to pieces 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺少“撕成了碎片”。“把某物撕成碎片”用固定短语“reduce sth. to pieces”表达，句子描述过去发生的动作，时态为一般过去时，reduce的过去式是reduced。故填reduced；to；pieces。 6．能免费参加夏令营，你真幸运啊！ You can take part in the summer camp for free! ________ ________ you are! 【答案】 How lucky 【详解】根据中英文提示可知，此句是感叹句。“幸运的”用英语表达为 lucky，是形容词，感叹句中强调形容词时用“How + 形容词 + 主语 + 谓语” 的结构。故填How；lucky。 7．他的朋友听说他家中的困难情况后，都主动伸出援助之手。 After his friends heard about his family’s difficult situation, they __________ _________ _________ _________ _________. 【答案】offered him a helping hand 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，空处表达的意思是“主动伸出援助之手”。“主动伸出援助之手”常见的英文表达为“offer sb a helping hand”，根据前半句“After his friends heard about his family’s difficult situation”中“heard”可知句子时态为一般过去时，“offer”的过去式为“offered”，根据“his family’s difficult situation”可知，是向他伸出援助之手，him“他”，故填offered him a helping hand。 8．从高中毕业后，她将出国留学。 ________ ________ from high school, she will go to study abroad. 【答案】 After graduating 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺少“从……毕业后”。after是介词，意为“在……之后”，后接动名词形式；graduate from意为“从……毕业”，因此graduate需变为动名词graduating，句首单词首字母需大写。故填After；graduating。 9．我的化学老师已经报名参加了支援西部计划。 My ________ teacher has ________ ________ ________ the “Go West” Programme. 【答案】 chemistry signed up for 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺“化学”和“报名参加”，chemistry teacher“化学老师”；signed up for表示“报名参加 (某项活动、计划、课程等)”，结合句意可知，此处句子是现在完成时，has后用动词的过去分词，sign的过去分词是signed。故填chemistry；signed；up；for。 10．昨晚，医生们争分夺秒地抢救那个生病的孩子。 The doctors ________ ________ ________ to save the sick child last night. 【答案】 raced against time 【详解】raced against time“争分夺秒”，时态为一般过去时，动词用过去式。故填raced；against；time。 五、完形填空 Xu Dawei grew up in a village in Shandong.

You may also see them on the road, in a community centre, or at the hospital. 1 Volunteers are people who do a job without being paid. They are the people who are looking for the satisfaction of helping others.   2 Some volunteers read books onto tapes so that people with eye problems can hear. Some volunteers send meals to the old or sick people. Some volunteers help visitors when they don’t know the way or when they have some other problems. Volunteers help when a natural disaster hits a community. 3 They may help people leave the areas quickly when there is an earthquake, a tsunami or a flood. They may also help people rebuild their homes after the disasters. A community may not recover without the help of volunteers. 4 If the communities don’t have much money, they will need a lot of help from volunteers. And communities with lots of old people may need more help from volunteers than communities with more young people. Volunteers can help the old do the cleaning, do the shopping or just talk with them. 5 Volunteers have done a lot to the society. And they help improve people’s lives. So would you like to be a volunteer in the future? A．Then what are volunteers? B．Volunteers may help put out forest fires. C．Volunteers do many different kinds of jobs. D．Without them some communities even couldn’t work. E．Some communities need volunteers more than others. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．E 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了志愿者的定义，志愿者参与的各类工作，以及志愿者在灾害救援、社区服务中发挥的重要作用，最后呼吁人们参与志愿活动。 1．文章开头引出志愿者这一话题，空后内容开始解释志愿者的具体含义，此处需要承接上文引出对志愿者定义的说明，A项“Then what are volunteers?”符合逻辑，能够自然衔接下文内容。 2．前文介绍完志愿者的定义后，空后内容列举了志愿者为视力障碍者录制有声书、为老人送餐、帮助迷路游客等多项不同工作，此处需要总领下文，C项“Volunteers do many different kinds of jobs.”符合语境，引出下文对志愿者工作的举例。 3．本段围绕志愿者在自然灾害发生时提供帮助展开叙述，空后举例介绍了地震、海啸、洪水等灾害中志愿者的工作，B项“Volunteers may help put out forest fires.”同样属于志愿者应对自然灾害的工作内容，符合本段主题，逻辑通顺。 4．空后内容分别说明了资金不足的社区、高龄人口多的社区对志愿者的需求更大，此处需要总领本段内容，E项“Some communities need volunteers more than others.”符合主旨，自然引出下文的具体解释。 5．前文具体说明了不同社区对志愿者的需求，以及志愿者为社区居民提供的各类帮助，此处总结志愿者对社区的重要作用，D项“Without them some communities even couldn’t work.”承接上文，突出了志愿者不可替代的作用，符合行文逻辑。 七、阅读理解 Do you know that taking good care of gardens can be a way of doing charity? That’s what the National Garden Scheme (NGS) (国家花园计划) has been doing. The organization opens over 3,500 private(私人的) gardens in England and Wales for people to visit, and raises money through tickets, tea and cakes. The NGS has a rich and interesting history.

That’s what the National Garden Scheme (NGS) has been doing.”可知，国家花园计划（NGS）是一个做慈善的计划。 2．根据文章第二段“At a meeting in 1926, Miss Elsie Wagg came up with the idea of raising money for district nursing through the nation’s obsession (沉迷) with gardening.”可知，Elsie Wagg小姐选择花园作为筹款方式是因为英国人对园艺的热爱。 3．根据文章第三段“It made a donation of £3.5 million in 2024 and about 70 pence in every £1 went straight to organizations like Macmillan Cancer Support...”可知，2024年NGS捐赠了350万英镑，其中每1英镑中有70便士直接捐给了像麦克米伦癌症支持这样的组织，所以直接捐给麦克米伦癌症支持等组织的金额约为350万×0.7=245万英镑，即About £2.45 million。 4．根据文章最后一段“Its Gardens and Health programme also shows people the important role of gardening and gardens in helping open a path to health.”可知，学习园艺是个好主意，因为它可以帮助你过上健康的生活。A选项，根据“A year later the NGS began to work...”可知NGS1927年开始工作，A错误；B选项，根据“and raises money through tickets, tea and cakes.”可知茶和蛋糕是用来筹钱的，不是免费的，B错误；C选项，根据“it has donated a total of £70 million to nursing and health charities so far.”可知是到目前为止总共捐赠了7000万英镑，不是20世纪，C错误。 5．根据文章第一段“Do you know that taking good care of gardens can be a way of doing charity? That’s what the National Garden Scheme (NGS) has been doing.”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了NGS，一种为慈善机构筹集资金的方式。 八、任务型阅读 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。每题答案不超过10个词。 “I like photography because it captures amazing things that you might not see again,” Timmy Watter says. He takes pictures of flowers, sunsets, road signs and ancient buildings. But those photos don’t usually end up in a photo album or on his bedroom walls. Timmy sells them and donates the money to help fight lung cancer. When Timmy was five, he found out that his aunt Bella had lung cancer. He wanted to do something to help her. His first plan was to sell his photos from a vendor’s stand (小贩摊位) in front of his house.“My mum said it wouldn’t work because we were not on a busy street,” Timmy explains. His next idea was to have an art show. Timmy decorated his home with candles, flowers and white lights. Then he arranged his photos. Timmy’s mum, Sara, remembers:“Everything was filled with photos, including our dining room table and the living room.” Timmy’s friends, family, and teachers came to the show. He raised more than $300 for cancer research that night. “Aunt Bella was very happy and excited,” Timmy says. After a local newspaper wrote a story about Timmy’s photos, a volunteer offered to help him set up a website called “Camera for a Cure”. As more and more people learnt about his cause, Timmy began receiving invitations to sell his pictures at art galleries and charity events. Since then, his work has appeared in more than 20 shows. To prepare, he takes lots of photographs. His mum helps him print and frame (给……镶框) them. Then he gives each one a price and decides where it will be displayed. When Timmy is at a show, he greets each customer and talks about what he was thinking when he took his photos. And he always shares facts about lung cancer. Sometimes donations and sales are slow, but Timmy isn’t worried. “It doesn’t matter how much money we made because __________,” he says. Timmy knows that finding a cure for lung cancer will take time and effort. So, Timmy will keep doing his part by taking and selling photos of the things he sees. 1．According to Timmy’s mum, why wouldn’t Timmy’s first plan work? _________________________________________________________ 2．Who helped Timmy raise money for cancer research in the first art show? _________________________________________________________ 3．How did Timmy’s mum help Timmy prepare for the art shows? _________________________________________________________ 4．What can be filled in the blank? _________________________________________________________ 5．What other creative ideas do you have for Timmy to help fight lung cancer? (Give one example.) _________________________________________________________ 【答案】1．Because they were not on a busy street. 2．Timmy’s friends, family, and teachers. 3．His mum helped him print and frame the photos. 4．doing my part to help is more important 5．Timmy could make and sell products with his pictures. (开放性试题，言之有理即可。) 【导语】本文讲述了少年Timmy通过售卖摄影作品为肺癌研究筹款的故事，展现了他用创意和坚持帮助他人的精神。 1．第二段提到Timmy的妈妈认为他的第一个计划行不通，因为他们不在繁忙的街道上“because we were not on a busy street”，答案是原文直接信息。 2．第三段提到在第一次艺术展上，Timmy的朋友、家人和老师都来支持他“Timmy’s friends, family, and teachers came to the show”，答案是原文直接信息。 3．第四段提到Timmy的妈妈帮他打印和装裱照片“His mum helps him print and frame them”，答案是原文直接信息。 4．第四段提到Timmy认为筹到多少钱并不重要，因为尽自己的一份力去帮助更重要，结合上下文可推断空格处填doing my part to help is more important。 5．开放题，答案不唯一。需结合Timmy用摄影作品筹款的方式，提出其他创意想法，合理即可。 1 / 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
