How did Craig start? In the seventh grade, he was so sad and angry to learn that a 6-year-old boy had to work in a factory. The boy could not go to school. He had no freedom (自由) at all. That made Craig think about his own life. Laws (法律) in his country say that kids must go to school and schools should be free for all kids. But in some countries, people need to pay for their education, so children from poor families can’t go to school but go to work. Craig wanted to help those who didn’t have the same advantages (有利条件) as he and his friends had. As a result, Craig and some friends started Free the Children. Craig and his friends decided that Free the Children should try to give money to set up schools. Craig hoped that learning would help kids in poverty live a better life. Today, Craig’s group has more than one million members in 45 countries. It is still going strong. It gets much money from lots of kind people and it uses the money to do many good things. It has helped build more than 500 schools around the world. It also pays for health care in poor places. 1．When did Craig start a group to help kids? A．At the age of 6. B．At the age of 7. C．At the age of 10. D．At the age of 12. 2．Why don’t some children go to school in some countries? A．Because they want to work in factories. B．Because they don’t want to go to school. C．Because there are few schools in these countries. D．Because their families have no money to pay for their education. 3．What does Free the Children help to do? A．To build schools all over the world. B．To raise money for schools in Craig’s country. C．To make friends with poor children. D．To take care of poor students in Craig’s school. 4．What does the underlined word “poverty” mean in Paragraph 3? A．The activity of making money. B．The time of being ill. C．The situation of being poor. D．The feeling of being sad. 5．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．Craig and a Little Boy B．Craig and His Friends C．Free the Children D．Poor Kids in the World Volunteering is becoming more and more popular among middle school students. It is a great way to spend our free time and help others at the same time. Last Sunday, my classmates and I took part in a volunteer activity in the community. We got there at 8:30 in the morning. First, we cleaned the streets and picked up the rubbish. Some students watered the flowers and trees. Then we visited the old people who lived alone. We talked with them, washed their clothes and cleaned their rooms. An old grandma told us many interesting stories about her life. We also sang songs and danced for them. They smiled happily and praised us again and again. I think volunteering is very meaningful. On the one hand, we can help people in need and make our community more beautiful. On the other hand, we can learn a lot from it. We learn to care about others, to be responsible and to understand the meaning of giving. We also get some useful experience that we can’t learn from textbooks. If you want to be a volunteer, you can join the volunteer club in your school. You can help homeless animals, teach English to poor children, or help clean up the park. No matter what you do, your kindness will make a big difference to others. 1．When did the students do volunteer work? A．Last Saturday. B．Last Sunday. C．Last Friday.

The silence of the pond was broken by the first cry: “Found something!” A swimmer ducked into (扎入) the water with a lifeline connected to a boat. Soon, she appeared, holding a pair of bright blue swimming glasses. They were passed to another, then into the boat. On a cloudy Saturday morning in July, a team of 15 women over 65 years old, known as the Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage (OLAUG), looked for rubbish across Cape Cod. When the team returned, they joked about the trip. “We didn’t even know what it was,” one swimmer said with a laugh, showing an electronic cigarette they had found. “We had to ask a young person.” Part protection organization, part social club, OLAUG only accepted old women as its members. To improve the conditions of the ponds, the group made it its mission to take rubbish away from them. The idea of this group was from Susan. As a lifelong nature lover, she liked swimming in ponds. However, the world of the pond, which was a little polluted, made her anxious. Then she came up with a slogan (标语): “OVER 65, IF YOU’RE HEALTHY ENOUGH, IT IS THE AGE OF ACTION.” Soon many people joined her. They found a sense of wonder at the pond clean-up moments. And their team could do a lot more than people might think. When many people thanked OLAUG for what they had done, some questioned why they called themselves “old ladies”. “You should call yourselves the Mermaids Against Glitter Litter,” they said. 1．What does “another” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．A pond. B．A swimmer. C．A lifeline. D．A boat. 2．The underlined word “mission” means “________”.

B．They could be trusted by some people. C．They should be responsible for their group. D．They might be thought young and beautiful. 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．A swimming club B．A worrying pond C．A ducking moment D．A warning slogan Clean-Up Day falls on the third Sunday of March. Come with your family and neighbors.

He faced a lot of surgeries (手术) and began losing hope. Martin’s friends and family members came to visit him. They brought him fresh flowers each day. Then something wonderful happened.

This made him go from room to room, giving away his flowers to them. The results were amazing. He watched people’s misery turn into happiness. After leaving the hospital, Martin couldn’t forget the power of his flowers. Six months later, to help more people, he started a project called the Simple Sunflower Project. He collected used flowers from some events like weddings (婚礼) and then the flowers were given to people in hospitals and the old people’s homes. In the first year, the project served no more than 100 people. But in the following 12 years, it gave away flowers to nearly 300,000 people.

We wanted to help the old and make their lives better. Before the activity, our teacher gave us a talk on how to protect ourselves. She told us to watch out when we carried heavy things. Because accidents can happen when we’re careless. Some students helped clean up the old people’s home. Others volunteered to cheer up the lonely elders by telling stories. My friend Lily used to be shy, but she tried her best to talk with them. During the activity, an old grandpa had a headache. We called the doctor at once. The doctor told him to lie down and have a good rest. We stayed with him and looked after him carefully. He thanked us a lot and said we were like his grandchildren. This activity taught us a lot. We learned that helping others is helping ourselves. We also learned to keep calm when we face difficulties. From then on, we decide to take part in more volunteer activities and help more people in need. It’s a great way to grow up and become a better person. 根据短文内容完成句子，每空一词。 1．We wanted to help the and their lives. 2．Our teacher told us to out when heavy things. 3．Because accidents can happen when we’re . 4．We with him and for him carefully. 5．From then on, we a to take part in more volunteer activities and help more people in need. 阅读下面的短文，回答问题或将划线部分译成中文。 A notice in front of a restaurant has become famous on the Internet.

He left home for work and came to a big city. At first, Li couldn’t find a job. He was all alone and had no money. One day, Li was tired and hungry. He asked several restaurants for a meal.

Now Li also teaches people to make pig trotters with rice. He hopes that more people can live a better life.“I may lose some money by giving free meals, but I don’t mind.

But for many old people, it takes much time and hard work, and more importantly, older people can easily forget what they’ve learned. Liu Siyuan from Beijing 101 Middle School noticed the problems and tried to solve them with a guidebook. The teenager built a volunteer group called SilverHair. Its seven members spent around half a year writing a 300­-page guidebook called May I Show You How to Use Smartphones. The group talked with many old people and found out what the old cared about most with smartphones. “How to use WeChat” topped the list because this app covered many parts of life. This became one part of the book. The other nine parts included the basic functions (功能) of phones, online shopping, using online maps and so on. To make the book more friendly to the old, Liu also made the pages light yellow and the Chinese characters big. “The old people can look through the book any time they need, just like using a dictionary,” said Liu. The SilverHair members have printed out 500 copies of the guidebook using their own money and handed them out. They’ll soon work on the second edition (版本), and it will have more guidance (指导), such as hospital registration (挂号) and photo editing. But they hope that people can give money to them so that they can print more copies and help more old people. 1．What do many old people think of using smartphones?

Wang Yue is a middle school student and an active volunteer in her neighborhood. Every weekend, she spends hours helping to build a better community. In the past year, she has led a “Green Community” project, where she organized her classmates to clean up the local park, plant over 100 trees, and set up recycling bins in every building. For the elderly who live alone, Wang Yue visits them twice a month to teach them how to sort garbage into different bins— recyclable, kitchen waste, and harmful waste. She even made colorful posters with simple pictures to help them remember the rules. During the summer holiday, she started a “Little Volunteers” club for primary school students, teaching them about the importance of saving water and electricity through fun games and stories. Wang Yue says, “Volunteering makes me realize that even small actions can bring big changes. When I see the park become cleaner or the elderly smile because they understand recycling, I feel proud of what we’re doing together.” Her passion has inspired more than 30 neighbors to join the volunteer team, and the community now looks greener and more harmonious (和谐的). 1．How often does Wang Yue help the elderly learn garbage sorting? 2．According to Wang Yue, what does volunteering make her realize? 3．When did Wang Yue start the “Little Volunteers” club for primary school students? 4．Why did Wang Yue make colorful posters with simple pictures? 5．If you could join Wang Yue’s volunteer team, what new activity would you suggest?

On April 20th, he and many volunteers from Project 3R, the nonprofit (非营利机构) he created, started a five-week campaign at five beaches along the Southern California coast and some in Mexico to remove trash (清除垃圾). “The trash ends up in the ocean, and animals are eating it,” Hickman told The Orange County Register. “Picking up a piece of trash may save a turtle’s life.” In 2012, Ryan Hickman started to pick up the trash around the beaches. Ever since then, he and some volunteers have collected about 2 million bottles and cans (金属罐) from beaches, lakes and rivers. From a young age, Hickman had developed a love for recycling and had always liked trash trucks. He put the two interests together and began collecting recyclables (可回收物) to raise money. In 2017, Hickman gave away a $10, 000 (about 72,000 yuan) check to the PMMC after picking up 50, 000 pounds of trash and more than 200, 000 recyclable bottles. Along with organizing volunteer cleanups, Hickman has also traveled worldwide, speaking to kids about caring for the planet and oceans. At the Ocean Institute in California, he started a program where primary school students clean local beaches and then board (登船) the institute’s teaching ship to learn about pollution’s influence. “It’s fun,”he said.“The people I talk to may encourage them, and they might organize a cleanup, too.” 1．What has Ryan Hickman made waves with? 2．Where did Ryan Hickman and many volunteers start a five-week campaign? 3．How many bottles and cans have he and some volunteers collected since 2012? 4．How did Ryan Hickman raise money? 5．What do you think of Ryan Hickman? Good evening, dear students! This is School News. Today’s story is about an 11-year-old girl, Jennifer. One day, she watched the Oprah Winfrey Show about the poor children in Africa. Some of them lived a very hard life because their parents died from AIDS (艾滋病). After watching the show, Jennifer decided to help those African children. She took out all of her pocket money. She had 360 dollars. She told her parents that she wanted to send the money to Africa to help the children. They found an organization for Jennifer to give away her money. Jennifer’s money helped a girl. The girl was only eight years old. Jennifer got a letter from the girl a few months later. The girl told Jennifer she was doing well. She was excited because she was getting ready to start school for the first time. Jennifer knew she made a change in that girl’s life. Jennifer knew she could help more children. She had a new goal (目标). It’s to raise 60,000 dollars. During this time, Jennifer was ill and had to stay in hospital. However, she didn’t stop raising money.

At about 5 a.m., the old man is in uniform and ready to start his day’s work protecting and recording migratory birds (候鸟). Located on the northern side of the Nanling Mountains, Lanshan is an important passageway for migratory birds. From September to December every year, more than 240 kinds of migratory birds fly from Siberia to Australia via (经由) Hunan. In the past 11years, Tang has recorded more than 120 kinds of such birds with his camera. “The flight calls of the migratory birds at night attract me so much that I cannot sleep. I only want to record their lives.” Tang says. When Tang joined the Hunan Bird Protection Organization (组织) in 2013, he knew he faced a hard task. A number of migratory birds were lost each year because people killed them for trade. Many villagers didn’t think bird hunting was illegal (违法的), and some made a living from it. At that time, during the day, Tang handed out brochures (手册) to villagers in Lanshan to raise public attention of bird protection, while at night, he went deep into the forests to stop illegal hunting. In 2020, people in Yongzhou set up a new program to stop killing the birds. So far, 43 migratory bird protection stations have been built across Hunan, covering almost all key points on the passageway. 1．What time does Tang begin his day’s work every day? 2．How many kinds of migratory birds has Tang recorded? 3．Why did we lose many migratory birds each year in the past? 4．Have migratory bird protection stations been built across Hunan yet? 5．What do you think of Tang Shengli? 2 立足新教材，自学有章法，练习有重点！ 1 立足新教材，自学有章法，练习有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语核心题型讲通练透系列资料，名师甄选！ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语核心题型讲通练透系列资料，名师甄选！ Unit 4 Helping out 单元话题阅读理解+任务型阅读组合练15篇   精   练   导   航 一、阅读理解 1 二、任务型阅读 15   主   题   阅   读 一、阅读理解 Do you enjoy travelling?

From South Africa to Guatemala (危地马拉), there are many things for you to do as a volunteer.”可知，文章核心是建议人们作为志愿者去旅行并参与动物保护工作。 2．根据第二段中“Beautiful birds, colourful butterflies, small sea fish and cute monkeys are just a few of the animals you can see and look after.”可知，第二段提到了鸟类、蝴蝶、海鱼、猴子这四种生物。 3．根据第三段中“Helping sick monkeys is just one of the jobs that you can do when you volunteer to work in South Africa.”可知，在南非做志愿者要帮助生病的猴子，由此可推知“sanctuary”是供猴子生活的保护区。 4．根据第二段中“You can get relaxed and excited when volunteering in Guatemala.”和“you will always have many things to do in Guatemala”可知，在危地马拉做志愿工作既有趣又忙碌。 5．根据最后一段“Volunteer with us and enjoy your time abroad. We believe you will never forget the experience!”可推知，人们读了这篇文章后，会有更多人去危地马拉做志愿者。 Save the Children is an international charity.

It also provides free medical treatment for sick children from poor families.”对应A选项“Train doctors and nurses in poor areas.”和B选项“Provide free medical treatment for sick poor children.”；第三段“It sets up eye care centers in poor villages.”对应C选项“Set up eye care centers in poor villages.”，因此三项都是该组织在中国做的工作。 4．划线词所在句意为“每个孩子都……过上健康幸福的生活”，结合慈善组织的助人宗旨和语境，right在这里表示“权利”。 5．A选项“该组织只在中国运作”错误，原文提到它在100多个国家工作；B选项“该组织只帮助孩子学习”错误，它还提供医疗、保护等帮助；C选项“该组织未来会继续帮助贫困儿童”对应原文最后一句“We will keep working to help more poor children”，表述正确；D选项“贫困地区所有孩子都能从该组织获得免费眼镜”错误，原文只说“有需要的孩子可以获得免费眼镜”，不是所有孩子。 “Kids can make a difference,” Craig Kielburger said. When Craig was 12, he started a group to help kids all over the world. How did Craig start? In the seventh grade, he was so sad and angry to learn that a 6-year-old boy had to work in a factory. The boy could not go to school. He had no freedom (自由) at all. That made Craig think about his own life. Laws (法律) in his country say that kids must go to school and schools should be free for all kids. But in some countries, people need to pay for their education, so children from poor families can’t go to school but go to work. Craig wanted to help those who didn’t have the same advantages (有利条件) as he and his friends had. As a result, Craig and some friends started Free the Children. Craig and his friends decided that Free the Children should try to give money to set up schools. Craig hoped that learning would help kids in poverty live a better life. Today, Craig’s group has more than one million members in 45 countries. It is still going strong. It gets much money from lots of kind people and it uses the money to do many good things. It has helped build more than 500 schools around the world. It also pays for health care in poor places. 1．When did Craig start a group to help kids? A．At the age of 6. B．At the age of 7. C．At the age of 10. D．At the age of 12. 2．Why don’t some children go to school in some countries? A．Because they want to work in factories. B．Because they don’t want to go to school. C．Because there are few schools in these countries. D．Because their families have no money to pay for their education. 3．What does Free the Children help to do? A．To build schools all over the world. B．To raise money for schools in Craig’s country. C．To make friends with poor children. D．To take care of poor students in Craig’s school. 4．What does the underlined word “poverty” mean in Paragraph 3? A．The activity of making money. B．The time of being ill. C．The situation of being poor. D．The feeling of being sad. 5．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．Craig and a Little Boy B．Craig and His Friends C．Free the Children D．Poor Kids in the World 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇人物介绍，讲述了Craig Kielburger在12岁时了解到童工问题后，发起“解放儿童”组织，帮助全球贫困儿童获得教育机会的故事。 1．第一段提到“When Craig was 12, he started a group to help kids all over the world.”，说明他在12岁时开始帮助儿童。 2．第二段提到“people need to pay for their education, so children from poor families can’t go to school but go to work.”，说明有些孩子不上学是因为家庭没钱支付教育费用。 3．第三段提到“Craig and his friends decided that Free the Children should try to give money to set up schools.”，第四段提到“It has helped build more than 500 schools around the world.”，说明该组织帮助在全球建学校。 4．第三段提到“Craig hoped that learning would help kids in poverty live a better life.”，结合上下文，贫困的孩子无法上学，“poverty”意为“贫困”。 5．全文围绕Craig发起的“解放儿童”组织展开，介绍了其成立背景、目标和成就，因此最佳标题是“解放儿童”。 Volunteering is becoming more and more popular among middle school students. It is a great way to spend our free time and help others at the same time. Last Sunday, my classmates and I took part in a volunteer activity in the community. We got there at 8:30 in the morning. First, we cleaned the streets and picked up the rubbish. Some students watered the flowers and trees. Then we visited the old people who lived alone. We talked with them, washed their clothes and cleaned their rooms. An old grandma told us many interesting stories about her life. We also sang songs and danced for them. They smiled happily and praised us again and again. I think volunteering is very meaningful. On the one hand, we can help people in need and make our community more beautiful. On the other hand, we can learn a lot from it. We learn to care about others, to be responsible and to understand the meaning of giving. We also get some useful experience that we can’t learn from textbooks. If you want to be a volunteer, you can join the volunteer club in your school. You can help homeless animals, teach English to poor children, or help clean up the park. No matter what you do, your kindness will make a big difference to others. 1．When did the students do volunteer work? A．Last Saturday. B．Last Sunday. C．Last Friday. D．Last Monday. 2．What did the students NOT do? A．Cleaned the streets. B．Watered the flowers. C．Cooked for the old people. D．Sang songs for the old people. 3．The underlined word “praised” means ________. A．批评 B．表扬 C．想念 D．记住 4．Volunteering can help students ________. A．get good grades B．make more money C．learn to care about others D．buy beautiful things 5．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A．To ask students to join in volunteering. B．To tell a story about old people. C．To show how to clean the community. D．To introduce a new club. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文讲述作者上周日和同学一起在社区参加志愿活动的经历，介绍了打扫街道、看望独居老人等具体活动，并阐述了做志愿活动的意义，最后呼吁中学生加入志愿活动。 1．根据文章第一段最后一句“Last Sunday, my classmates and I took part in a volunteer activity in the community.”可知，活动是在上周日进行的。 2．第二段内容中已做的有“cleaned the streets”、“watered the flowers”、“sang songs”。并没有提到做饭。 3．根据上下文，老人们“smiled happily”（开心地笑），并且是对学生们的志愿服务做出反应，肯定是正面的反馈。praise意为“赞扬、表扬”。 4．根据文章第三段“We learn to care about others, to be responsible and to understand the meaning of giving.”可知，志愿服务能让学生学会关心他人。 5．文章第一段引入话题，第二段描述经历，第三段阐述意义，最后一段发出号召。整篇文章的目的是鼓励大家参与志愿服务，感受奉献的快乐。 The silence of the pond was broken by the first cry: “Found something!” A swimmer ducked into (扎入) the water with a lifeline connected to a boat. Soon, she appeared, holding a pair of bright blue swimming glasses. They were passed to another, then into the boat. On a cloudy Saturday morning in July, a team of 15 women over 65 years old, known as the Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage (OLAUG), looked for rubbish across Cape Cod. When the team returned, they joked about the trip. “We didn’t even know what it was,” one swimmer said with a laugh, showing an electronic cigarette they had found. “We had to ask a young person.” Part protection organization, part social club, OLAUG only accepted old women as its members. To improve the conditions of the ponds, the group made it its mission to take rubbish away from them. The idea of this group was from Susan. As a lifelong nature lover, she liked swimming in ponds. However, the world of the pond, which was a little polluted, made her anxious. Then she came up with a slogan (标语): “OVER 65, IF YOU’RE HEALTHY ENOUGH, IT IS THE AGE OF ACTION.” Soon many people joined her. They found a sense of wonder at the pond clean-up moments. And their team could do a lot more than people might think. When many people thanked OLAUG for what they had done, some questioned why they called themselves “old ladies”. “You should call yourselves the Mermaids Against Glitter Litter,” they said. 1．What does “another” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．A pond. B．A swimmer. C．A lifeline. D．A boat. 2．The underlined word “mission” means “________”. A．an important task B．a fair game C．an interesting show D．a secret meeting 3．By searching for the rubbish in the ponds, OLAUG ________. A．found interest and did well B．changed people’s hobbies C．improved their health a lot D．won fame and got prizes 4．Why were the old women regarded as the Mermaids? A．They must be good at swimming. B．They could be trusted by some people. C．They should be responsible for their group. D．They might be thought young and beautiful. 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．A swimming club B．A worrying pond C．A ducking moment D．A warning slogan 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了由65岁以上老年女性组成的“老年女性反对水下垃圾”组织（OLAUG）在科德角清理池塘垃圾的活动，介绍了该组织的成立原因、成员构成、活动情况以及人们对她们的看法等。 1．第一段提到“A swimmer ducked into (扎入) the water with a lifeline connected to a boat. Soon, she appeared, holding a pair of bright blue swimming glasses. They were passed to another, then into the boat.”，一名游泳者扎入水中，拿着从水里找到的游泳眼镜，然后传递给另一个人，接着再传到船上，这里传递的流程是从游泳者到另一个人再到船上，所以“another”指代的是另一名游泳者。 2．第四段“To improve the conditions of the ponds, the group made it its mission to take rubbish away from them.”可知，为了改善池塘的状况，这个组织把从池塘里带走垃圾作为自己的“mission”，结合语境可知，这里应该是把从池塘里带走垃圾当作一项重要任务，所以“mission”意思是“an important task”。 3．第五段“They found a sense of wonder at the pond clean-up moments. And their team could do a lot more than people might think.”可知，OLAUG在池塘清理垃圾的过程中发现了乐趣，并且她们的团队能做的比人们想象的要多，也就是做得很好。 4．文中最后一段，有人建议她们称自己为“Mermaids Against Glitter Litter”，美人鱼通常象征在水中优雅美丽的形象，尽管这些女性是“old women”，但她们在池塘中清理垃圾的行动力和在水中的表现，让人们联想到美人鱼在水中的形象，认为她们像年轻美丽的美人鱼。 5．文章开头描述了潜水找垃圾的场景，且全文围绕她们的潜水清理行动展开，“A ducking moment”译为“一个潜水时刻”，能概括主要内容，符合标题要求。 Clean-Up Day falls on the third Sunday of March.

They also have some magic power (力量). Martin lay in hospital for weeks after falling from a building in 1981. He faced a lot of surgeries (手术) and began losing hope. Martin’s friends and family members came to visit him. They brought him fresh flowers each day. Then something wonderful happened. Martin’s condition started to improve, and he looked towards the future with more hope. Martin soon realized that other patients around him didn’t get the same kindness. This made him go from room to room, giving away his flowers to them. The results were amazing. He watched people’s misery turn into happiness. After leaving the hospital, Martin couldn’t forget the power of his flowers. Six months later, to help more people, he started a project called the Simple Sunflower Project. He collected used flowers from some events like weddings (婚礼) and then the flowers were given to people in hospitals and the old people’s homes. In the first year, the project served no more than 100 people. But in the following 12 years, it gave away flowers to nearly 300,000 people. Many studies have found that fresh flowers as well as plants are good for people’s health. Flowers could make the patients less stressed and less painful (痛苦的). Patients with flowers had shorter hospital stays as well. Flowers make a great difference. 1．What does the underlined word “misery” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Sadness (悲伤). B．Joy. C．Excitement. D．Fear. 2．Why did Martin start the Simple Sunflower Project? A．To raise more money. B．To help more people. C．To collect used flowers. D．To show his favorite flowers. 3．Can you put the following facts about Martin in right order? a. He got flowers each day from his friends and family members. b. He went from room to room to give away his flowers. c. He fell from a building. d. He started the Simple Sunflower Project. A．acdb B．bdca C．cabd D．dbca 4．What can we learn from the passage?

D．The Simple Sunflower Project didn’t go well in the first year. 5．What’s the best title for this passage? A．Successful Studies B．Let’s Cheer Up the Patients C．Martin’s Experience in Hospital D．Power of Flowers 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文讲述了Martin因意外住院，鲜花带给他希望后，他发起“向日葵计划”为更多人送花的故事，展现了鲜花的治愈力量。 1．第3段“He watched people’s misery turn into happiness.”，“misery turn into happiness”表示“从悲伤转为快乐”，因此“misery”意为“悲伤、痛苦” 2．第4段“Six months later, to help more people, he started a project called the Simple Sunflower Project.”Martin发起项目的目的是“帮助更多的人” 3．事件顺序：c. He fell from a building.（1981年坠楼住院）a. He got flowers each day from his friends and family members.（住院期间亲友送花）b. He went from room to room to give away his flowers.（把花分给其他病人）d. He started the Simple Sunflower Project.（出院后发起项目）事件顺序为c→a→b→d 4．第4段“But in the following 12 years, it gave away flowers to nearly 300,000 people.”A错误：项目是出院6个月后发起，不是1年后；B正确：项目累计为近30万人送花；C错误：文中说鲜花让病人“less stressed and less painful”，未提到“more excited”；D错误：第一年服务不超过100人，但未说明项目不顺利。 5．全文围绕鲜花的治愈力量展开，从Martin自身的经历到项目的影响，核心主题是“Power of Flowers（花的力量）”。 二、任务型阅读 Last weekend, our class took part in a volunteer activity in the community. We wanted to help the old and make their lives better. Before the activity, our teacher gave us a talk on how to protect ourselves. She told us to watch out when we carried heavy things. Because accidents can happen when we’re careless. Some students helped clean up the old people’s home. Others volunteered to cheer up the lonely elders by telling stories. My friend Lily used to be shy, but she tried her best to talk with them. During the activity, an old grandpa had a headache. We called the doctor at once. The doctor told him to lie down and have a good rest. We stayed with him and looked after him carefully. He thanked us a lot and said we were like his grandchildren. This activity taught us a lot. We learned that helping others is helping ourselves. We also learned to keep calm when we face difficulties. From then on, we decide to take part in more volunteer activities and help more people in need. It’s a great way to grow up and become a better person. 根据短文内容完成句子，每空一词。 1．We wanted to help the and their lives. 2．Our teacher told us to out when heavy things. 3．Because accidents can happen when we’re . 4．We with him and for him carefully. 5．From then on, we a to take part in more volunteer activities and help more people in need. 【答案】41． old improve 42． watch carrying 43． not careful 44． stayed cared 45． made decision 【导语】本文记叙了作者班级在社区开展关爱老人的志愿活动，同学们打扫、陪伴老人并妥善处理突发状况。活动让大家懂得帮助他人就是帮助自己，也决心今后多参与志愿活动。 1．文章首段明确提到“We wanted to help the old and make their life better”，“make their life better”=“improve their life”，直接提取“old”，应填old；improve。 2．首段提到“She told us to watch out when we carried heavy things”，第一空直接提取“watch”；第二空“when”后接动名词（省略主语“we”时，动词用-ing形式），应填watch；carrying。 3．首段明确说“Because accidents can happen when we’re careless”，“careless”可以用“not careful”表达，应填not；careful。 4．第二段提到“We stayed with him and looked after him carefully”，直接提取“stayed”，“looked after”可以用“cared for”替换，应填stayed；cared。 5．末段提到“From then on, we decide to take part in more volunteer activities”，“decide to do”可转换为“make a decision to do”，全文为过去时，“make”需用过去式“made”，应填made；decision。 阅读下面的短文，回答问题或将划线部分译成中文。 A notice in front of a restaurant has become famous on the Internet. It says, “If you’re hungry or living a hard life, come here and have a 15-yuan pig trotter (猪蹄) with rice. You can just leave after the meal. When you are better in the future, remember to help the people in need around you. Thank you!” The notice was written by Li Yuan, who started to offer the free meal after he opened his first restaurant in Shenzhen. The story behind Li’s notice started when he was only 16. He left home for work and came to a big city. At first, Li couldn’t find a job. He was all alone and had no money. One day, Li was tired and hungry. He asked several restaurants for a meal. Everyone said “NO” except the owner (主人) of a small restaurant. He offered Li a pig trotter with rice. It was not a big meal, but the best meal that Li had during the hard days. Now Li also teaches people to make pig trotters with rice. He hopes that more people can live a better life.“I may lose some money by giving free meals, but I don’t mind. I can get something priceless (无价的) in return. You share roses and get fun.” Li said. 1．Where did Li open his first restaurant? 2．What did Li do when he was tired and hungry? 3．Who offered Li a pig trotter with rice? 4．Why does Li teach people to make pig trotters with rice? 5．将短文中划线的句子翻译成中文。 【答案】1．He opened his first restaurant in Shenzhen. /In Shenzhen. 2．He asked several restaurants for a meal. 3．The owner of a small restaurant. 4．Because he hopes that more people can live a better life. 5．如果你饿了或生活艰苦，来这里吃一份15元的猪蹄米饭。(大致意思写出即可给分) 【导语】本文讲述了深圳餐厅老板李远推出免费猪蹄米饭，帮助困境中的人的善举，并介绍了他年少时受陌生餐馆老板帮助、如今传递爱心的故事。 1．根据原文第一段 “The notice was written by Li Yuan, who started to offer the free meal after he opened his first restaurant in Shenzhen.” 可知，李远的第一家餐厅开在深圳。 2．根据原文第二段 “One day, Li was tired and hungry. He asked several restaurants for a meal.” 可知，李远又累又饿时，向几家餐馆请求给一份饭吃。 3．根据原文第三段 “Everyone said ‘NO’ except the owner of a small restaurant. He offered Li a pig trotter with rice.” 可知，是一家小餐馆的老板给了李远一份猪蹄米饭。 4．根据原文第四段 “Now Li also teaches people to make pig trotters with rice. He hopes that more people can live a better life.” 可知，李远教别人做猪蹄米饭，是因为他希望更多人能过上更好的生活。 5．这是餐厅门口告示的内容，翻译时要兼顾原文的祈使语气与善意的表达，“living a hard life” 译为 “生活艰难”，“people in need” 译为 “需要帮助的人”，更符合中文表达习惯。因此本句可翻译为：如果你饿了或生活艰难，就来这里吃一份15元的猪蹄米饭。 You may find it easy and fun to use smartphones. But for many old people, it takes much time and hard work, and more importantly, older people can easily forget what they’ve learned. Liu Siyuan from Beijing 101 Middle School noticed the problems and tried to solve them with a guidebook. The teenager built a volunteer group called SilverHair. Its seven members spent around half a year writing a 300­-page guidebook called May I Show You How to Use Smartphones. The group talked with many old people and found out what the old cared about most with smartphones. “How to use WeChat” topped the list because this app covered many parts of life. This became one part of the book. The other nine parts included the basic functions (功能) of phones, online shopping, using online maps and so on. To make the book more friendly to the old, Liu also made the pages light yellow and the Chinese characters big. “The old people can look through the book any time they need, just like using a dictionary,” said Liu. The SilverHair members have printed out 500 copies of the guidebook using their own money and handed them out. They’ll soon work on the second edition (版本), and it will have more guidance (指导), such as hospital registration (挂号) and photo editing. But they hope that people can give money to them so that they can print more copies and help more old people. 1．What do many old people think of using smartphones?

On April 20th, he and many volunteers from Project 3R, the nonprofit (非营利机构) he created, started a five-week campaign at five beaches along the Southern California coast and some in Mexico to remove trash (清除垃圾). “The trash ends up in the ocean, and animals are eating it,” Hickman told The Orange County Register. “Picking up a piece of trash may save a turtle’s life.” In 2012, Ryan Hickman started to pick up the trash around the beaches. Ever since then, he and some volunteers have collected about 2 million bottles and cans (金属罐) from beaches, lakes and rivers.

Along with organizing volunteer cleanups, Hickman has also traveled worldwide, speaking to kids about caring for the planet and oceans. At the Ocean Institute in California, he started a program where primary school students clean local beaches and then board (登船) the institute’s teaching ship to learn about pollution’s influence. “It’s fun,”he said.“The people I talk to may encourage them, and they might organize a cleanup, too.” 1．What has Ryan Hickman made waves with? 2．Where did Ryan Hickman and many volunteers start a five-week campaign? 3．How many bottles and cans have he and some volunteers collected since 2012? 4．How did Ryan Hickman raise money? 5．What do you think of Ryan Hickman? 【答案】1．A beach clean-up campaign. 2．At five beaches along the Southern California coast and some in Mexico. 3．About 2 million bottles and cans. 4．By collecting recyclables. 5．He is kind, helpful and responsible. 【导语】本文介绍了美国少年Ryan Hickman发起海滩清洁活动、坚持回收垃圾、呼吁保护海洋与地球环境的公益事迹。 1．第一段提到“has made waves with a beach clean-up campaign”，可直接提取原文信息作答。 2．第一段提到“started a five-week campaign at five beaches along the Southern California coast and some in Mexico”，可直接提取原文地点信息。 3．第三段提到“he and some volunteers have collected about 2 million bottles and cans from beaches, lakes and rivers”，据此整理答案。 4．第四段提到“began collecting recyclables to raise money”，说明他通过收集可回收物筹集资金。 5．文中他长期清理垃圾、保护海洋动物，捐赠善款，还奔走宣讲环保知识、带动他人保护环境，能看出他善良热心、乐于助人、富有责任感。 Good evening, dear students!

At about 5 a.m., the old man is in uniform and ready to start his day’s work protecting and recording migratory birds (候鸟). Located on the northern side of the Nanling Mountains, Lanshan is an important passageway for migratory birds. From September to December every year, more than 240 kinds of migratory birds fly from Siberia to Australia via (经由) Hunan. In the past 11years, Tang has recorded more than 120 kinds of such birds with his camera. “The flight calls of the migratory birds at night attract me so much that I cannot sleep. I only want to record their lives.” Tang says. When Tang joined the Hunan Bird Protection Organization (组织) in 2013, he knew he faced a hard task. A number of migratory birds were lost each year because people killed them for trade. Many villagers didn’t think bird hunting was illegal (违法的), and some made a living from it. At that time, during the day, Tang handed out brochures (手册) to villagers in Lanshan to raise public attention of bird protection, while at night, he went deep into the forests to stop illegal hunting. In 2020, people in Yongzhou set up a new program to stop killing the birds. So far, 43 migratory bird protection stations have been built across Hunan, covering almost all key points on the passageway. 1．What time does Tang begin his day’s work every day? 2．How many kinds of migratory birds has Tang recorded? 3．Why did we lose many migratory birds each year in the past? 4．Have migratory bird protection stations been built across Hunan yet? 5．What do you think of Tang Shengli? 【答案】1．At about 5 a.m. 2．More than 120 kinds. 3．Because people killed them for trade. 4．Yes, they have. 5．He is great, hard-working and helpful.
