We’re always looking for volunteers to help the station. UNICEF United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) started on 11th December, 1946 to help children in poor countries.

B According to a study, more than 130 billion pounds of uneaten (未吃的) food go to waste in Laura’s country each year. That is about of the yearly food supply. It is a sad fact, especially when you consider how many families and homeless (无家的) people are hungry. When Laura saw her school dining hall throw away uneaten food at all every day, she had an idea. She started a project (项目) to help her school dining hall to give uneaten food to homeless shelters in her community. In the past three years, the same project started in other schools and some fast food restaurants around the city. The project is called Feed & Find, and has already fed thousands of people in her city. How does it work? Through an app, Feed & Find matches (配对) local homeless shelters with school dining halls and restaurants that have uneaten food to provide. When dining halls or restaurants have uneaten food left, they can use the app to share the information about the food. A truck driver working for the project then picks it up and takes it to a shelter. Pretty cool, right? It’s not surprising that many people in other cities have contacted Laura, expecting that she could help develop similar projects for their communities. Some people, however, have concerns about the uneaten food. They think such food may not be clean enough. Still, this project is a clever way to help solve the problem of food waste and it helps those in need. ( )19. What can the numbers in Paragraph 1 tell us? A.Some people are poor. B.Food waste is serious. C. The population is large. D. The research is interesting. ( )20. Why do many people in other cities contact Laura? A. Because they hope to find a truck driver to send food. B. Because they expect her to visit their communities. C. Because they hope that she can give food to them. D. Because they expect her to help develop the projects. ( )21. What does the underlined word “concerns” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Ways. B. Secrets. C. Worries. D. Decisions. ( )22. Which can be the best title for this text? A. A Dining Guide App B. A Food Sharing Project C. A Driving Service App D. A Food Safety Project C I worked as a volunteer in Children’s Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa. My job was to help make the kids feel happy when they stayed in the hospital. Sounds interesting, right? But some people cannot understand why I did it. Let me tell you why I did volunteering. The main reason was to help create a better future for people, no matter who or where they are. In this big world, so many people need help. Look at the children in the hospital where I worked. They felt afraid and lonely facing all the difficulties because their parents also had other kids to care for. So, why not try to help as many people as possible? That was my idea. Volunteering in Africa and helping people there let me see other parts of the world. And volunteering in the hospital showed me another side of the world I did not know about before. I met people from all over the world, each with their own ideas, experiences and dreams. We got to share so much with each other and we always had a good time. I really felt close to these people. We shared amazing memories and grew together. I wanted to go back to my country with new experiences and ideas so that we can help more people and create a better future for everyone! ( )23.

The writer felt afraid and lonely in the hospital. C. Everyone can understand why the writer did volunteering. D. The writer saw another part of the world by volunteering. ( )26. Why did the writer write this story? A. To explain why he likes volunteering. B. To introduce the children in Cape Town. C. To share his dreams for the future. D.

Edward was her first lucky customer. He looked to be in his 60s. While she was cutting his greying hair, he told her about moving closer to his adult children. These people like Edward are all living a hard time, and Steller knows the power of her job. “It’s more than a haircut,” she says. “I want it not only to be a way to show value and respect, but also to get to know people. I want to build relationships.” Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. As a teenager, she had a very serious illness and her hair thinned (变少) terribly. Her mother took Steller for her first formal haircut. “To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me make me feel like a normal person, it helped me feel cared about and less lonely,” she says. After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Then she began her Red Chair Project. She says, “I can’t fix their problems with free haircuts, but maybe I can help them feel less lonely for a moment.” Later she started the Steller Kindness Project, which invited people who do acts of kindness for a free haircut at Steller’s salon. The acts can be volunteering for snowstorm relief (救济), helping neighbours in need, etc. In exchange, they tell their stories, which Steller shares online. Her hope is that by reading about kind acts, others will do their own. So far Steller has had people help out from around the country. ( )27.What does Steller mean by saying “It’s more than a haircut” in Paragraph 4? A. A haircut can solve people’s problems. B. A haircut is what people need most. C. People prefer haircut stories. D. A haircut can show care, value and respect. ( )28. Why did Steller start her Red Chair Project? A. To help her neighbours in need. B. To make customers go to her salon. C. To help the lonely people feel less lonely. D. To invite customers to tell their kind acts. ( )29. Which words best describe Katie Steller? A. Lonely and quiet. B. Kind and helpful. C. Creative and lucky. D. Serious and careful. ( )30. Which sentence best shows the topic of the story? A. Simple acts of kindness like a free haircut matter. B. Haircuts need practice and practice makes perfect. C. It’s pretty sad to see how lonely people look. D. We can win great respect by giving free haircuts. 第二节 任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面材料，从选项中所给的A—E五个选项中选出正确选项（其中一项是多余选项），将其序号填入第 小题，并回答第35小题。 Young Volunteers is a club for students to do volunteer activities.
