根据上下文,团队去乡村服务,拍照的对象是村民,villagers“村民”符合语境。
2.句意:一些老人和孩子以前从未拍过自己的照片。

1.句意:他很年轻,但很擅长电脑。
前后句逻辑关系,前句说“He’s young”,后句说“he’s good at computers”,构成转折关系。应选but,表示“但是”,连接转折关系。because“因为”,or“或者”、as“因为”,均不符合转折逻辑。
2.句意:有一天,他老师的电脑出了点问题。
固定搭配there is something wrong with…,表示“……出故障了”。应选wrong,构成固定搭配。wide“宽的”、exciting“令人兴奋的”、important“重要的”均无法与该结构搭配。
3.句意:他帮忙修好了电脑,这让他很开心。
前文提到电脑出故障,后文说“this made him happy”,结合上下文他擅长电脑。应选repair,表示“修理”,符合语境。break“打碎”、return“归还”、throw“扔掉”与“帮老师解决问题”的语境不符。
4.句意:他决定把这项技能变成帮助他人的方式。
前文“got an idea”(想到一个主意),后文“turn this skill into a way to help others”。应选decided,表示“决定”,即他决定把这项技能变成帮助他人的方式。refused“拒绝”、forgot“忘记”、agreed“同意”均与“想到主意并付诸行动”的语境不符。
5.句意:然后他修好它们,送给穷人。
后文提到“Some people are too poor to buy computers”,说明他帮助的是穷人。应选poor,表示“贫穷的”,符合语境。clever“聪明的”、handsome“帅气的”、serious“严肃的”与“需要免费电脑”的背景无关。
6.句意:“他为我们提供了很多电脑,所以这里的孩子们可以用它们进行在线学习,”儿童福利院的工作人员南希·杨说。
前文提到“kids in a Children’s Home are among them”,说话人是福利院的工作人员,指代福利院的孩子们。应选us,表示“我们”,即“他为我们提供了许多电脑”。him“他”、you“你”、her“她”与说话人的视角不符。
7.句意:所以这里的孩子们可以用它们进行在线学习。
后文提到“for online learning”,说明电脑的用途是供孩子们使用。应选use,表示“使用”,即“用电脑学习”。change“改变”、copy“复制”、describe“描述”与“在线学习”的语境不符。
8.句意:然而,这个项目并不总是容易的。
后文提到“Sometimes he has to spend a few days fixing one computer”,说明项目并不容易。应选easy,表示“容易的”,即“项目并不总是容易的”。slow“慢的”、boring“无聊的”、terrible“糟糕的”与后文的“耗时”语境不直接对应。
9.句意:但他从不感到无聊。
前文说修一台电脑要花几天时间,后文用“But”转折,说明他不觉得无聊。应选never,表示“从不”,即“但他从不感到无聊”。even“甚至”、often“经常”、still“仍然”均无法体现转折后的积极态度。
10.句意:当人们问他为什么发起这个项目时,Logan说正是电脑改变了他的生活。
后文Logan的回答是解释项目的起因,说明问题是“为什么”要发起项目。应选why,表示“为什么”,引导宾语从句询问原因。“when何时”、where“何地”、what“什么”与回答的原因不符。
11.句意:我过去常常为生活中的各种事情担忧。
前文提到“I was once upset”,后文说电脑帮助他克服了这种情绪,说明他过去会为生活中的事情担忧。应选worry about,表示“担忧”,符合语境。talk about“谈论”、look for“寻找”、hear from“收到来信”与“upset”的情绪背景不符。
12.句意:然而,对电脑的热爱帮助我克服了它,所以我想为有需要的人做点什么。
后文提到“for computers helped me beat it”,说明是对电脑的热爱帮助他走出低谷。应选love,表示“热爱”,即“对电脑的热爱”。way“方式”、step“步骤”、accident“意外”均无法体现他对电脑的情感。
13.句意:有些人有旧电脑,但不知道该怎么处理它们。
前文说“Some people have old computers but…”,结合后文Logan帮忙修理,说明人们不知道如何处理旧电脑。应选idea,构成固定搭配“have no idea what to do with them”,表示“不知道如何处理它们”。money“钱”、place“地方”、role“角色”均无法与该结构搭配。
14.句意:我只是尽我的一份力,让它们再次变得有用。
前文提到“repairing old computers”,说明Logan的目的是让旧电脑重新变得有用。应选useful,表示“有用的”,即“让它们再次变得有用”。proper“合适的”、healthy“健康的”、delicious“美味的”与电脑的功能语境不符。
15.句意:这个男孩说他会继续修理旧电脑,把它们送给有需要的人。
后文提到“repairing old computers and giving them to people in need”,说明他会继续做这件事。应选keep,构成固定搭配“keep doing sth.”,表示“继续做某事”。advise“建议”、stop“停止”、practice“练习”与后文的“坚持做”语境不符。

【导语】本文讲述了一位护士在医院遇到8岁女孩Katy的故事,Katy身患重病却总是关心他人,手术后康复出院,仍回来帮助其他病人。
1.句意:我当时是医院的一名护士。
根据下文作者在医院工作20年,以及照顾病人,可知是“护士”,nurse“护士”符合。waiter“服务员”、doctor“医生”、instructor“指导员”与医院工作身份不符。
2.句意:她因为感到很多疼痛而住院。
根据下文医生发现她脑部有问题,可知她感到“疼痛”,pain“疼痛”符合。fun“乐趣”、need“需要”、pity“遗憾”与病情不符。
3.句意:我知道她很特别,甚至在她好转之前。
根据下文她不顾自己病痛去陪伴别人,可知她“特别”,special“特别的”符合。silly“愚蠢的”、shy“害羞的”、lonely“孤独的”与善良品质不符。
4.句意:虽然Katy感觉不舒服,但她正在和一个小男孩Tommy玩。
前后句为让步关系,表示“虽然”不舒服但还陪别人玩,Though“虽然”符合。Because“因为”表原因、Until“直到”表时间、After“在……之后”表时间,均与让步逻辑不符。
5.句意:她只是坐在椅子上就需要付出很多努力。
根据下文她陪Tommy玩需要努力,take effort“需要努力”为动词短语,本句为一般过去时,took符合。put“放”、cost“花费”主语为物、made“制作”,均与effort搭配不当。
6.句意:但她和Tommy玩是因为这让他感到快乐。
根据上文Katy身体不适却坚持陪Tommy玩,目的就是让Tommy“快乐”,joyful“快乐的”符合语境。mad“疯狂的”、proud“骄傲的”、helpful“有帮助的”均不符合让Tommy开心的目的。
7.句意:她不愿意只是躺在床上。
根据下文她画画、送花等,说明她“不愿意”躺着,refused“拒绝”符合,refused to do“拒绝做”。offered“主动提出”、decided“决定”、failed“失败”与不愿躺着的意愿不符。
8.句意:后来,她把它作为礼物送给了一位老年病人。
上文提到Katy在画画,下文她将画送给了老年病人,说明她把画当作“礼物”,present“礼物”符合,give as a present“作为礼物赠送”。test“测试”、shock“震惊”、award“奖项”与送画的行为不符。
9.句意:另一天,她出去为另一个生病的小女孩采花。
上文Katy关心他人,下文她送花给生病的小女孩,说明她出去“采”花,get flowers“采花”为动词短语,get“采,取”符合。sell“卖”、smell“闻”、grow“种植”与采花行为不符。
10.句意:Katy让每个人都微笑,而我们所有人也都努力地照顾她。
根据上文她关心他人,以及“smile”,可知让“每个人”微笑,everybody“每个人”符合。nobody“没有人”、anybody“任何人”常用于疑问否定句、somebody“某人”与范围不符。
11.句意:医生想找到Katy问题的解决方案。
上文Katy脑部有问题,下文医生为她做手术并成功,说明医生在寻找“解决方案”,solution to the problem“问题的解决方案”为名词短语,solution“解决办法”符合。answer“答案”(常与question搭配)、idea“想法”、medicine“药”与解决医疗问题不符。
12.句意:当这个好消息传遍医院时,所有人都打心底里为她感到高兴。
上文Katy手术成功的消息传遍医院,说明大家是“发自内心”地为她高兴,from the bottom of one‘s heart“从心底”为介词短语,bottom“底部”符合。end“结束”、sense“感觉”、degree“程度”与固定搭配不符。
13.句意:一个月后,她就能够出院了。
上文Katy手术后康复,说明她能够“离开”医院,leave the hospital“出院”为动词短语,leave“离开”符合。find“找到”、reach“到达”、forget“忘记”与出院行为不符。
14.句意:然而,我没有再遇到像Katy这样的女孩。
上文作者遇到很多病人,下文说没再遇到像Katy的,前后为转折关系,However“然而”符合。Instead“相反”、Besides“此外”、Therefore“因此”与转折逻辑不符。
15.句意:Katy的善良之心帮助她如此快地康复。
根据上文她手术后很快好转,以及“so”,应用quickly“快速地”符合。widely“广泛地”、clearly“清楚地”、safely“安全地”与康复速度不符。

At the Westonaria agricultural park in South Africa, farm workers are busy planting vegetables. But there’s silence around the park. That’s because most people here are deaf and communicate in sign language. They’re members of the Voiceout Deaf, farming project started by Matebogo Victoria.
Victoria has hearing problems herself, so she understands the challenges deaf people face. While studying at the university, she had to take classes with a hearing partner to help her understand and communicate with her teachers.
Victoria used to work for a bank. After she saw a lot of deaf people staying at home and unemployed (失业的), she hoped to do something to help. “Communication is the biggest challenge in the deaf community,” she said. “There are 44 schools for the deaf across South Africa. Many of the deaf either don’t finish school or don’t have enough money to travel far to go to one of the schools.” After careful consideration, Victoria left her job and started an agricultural business to help deaf people gain farming skills and get jobs matching their skills.
As part of Voiceout Deaf, farmers-in-training work on three different farms. Most of them use sign language, making communication easy. Although each farm is a learning environment, it’s also a workplace and a business. The farmers get paid for their work, and their produce sells very well.
Sibongile Maake is one of the farm workers. “I’m delighted with the work on the farm. I’m working slowly but surely, and I’m learning while making money. I can do things by myself. I am able to pay for things I need,” she said.
1.Why did Victoria start the project?
A.To remind herself that life is hard for the deaf.
B.To enable the deaf to learn farming and get a job.
C.To show that deaf people can plant vegetables.
D.To help the deaf across South Africa to go to school.
2.What is right about Voiceout Deaf?
A.They draw pictures to communicate with others.
B.Farmers work for free in exchange for lessons.
C.It’s just a moving classroom for the deaf people.
D.People like buying what they grow on the farm.
3.What is the correct order of the following events?
①Victoria got a job opportunity at a bank.
②Victoria launched the farming project.
③Victoria studied at university with a partner.
④Victoria noticed deaf people were in great trouble.
A.③→②→④→① B.④→②→③→①
C.④→①→②→③ D.③→①→④→②
4.Which word(s) best describe Victoria?
A.Strict and very careful. B.Easily discouraged.
C.Thoughtful and dedicated. D.Creative and wealthy.
5.Where is this passage most likely to be found?
A.In a travel guide. B.In a farming novel.
C.In a personal diary. D.On a news website.
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.D 4.C 5.D

During my teen years, I was a shy girl. I was never interested in volunteering. I just thought it was something people who had a lot of free time did. My opinion of volunteering changed when I started university. I heard my new friends talk about all the ways they had helped others and, in return, how they had improved themselves.
I started volunteering when I was 19 years old. As an English major, I volunteered to teach children English in schools in my city. Later, I realized I wasn’t getting anything new out of my volunteer service. I decided to move out of my comfort zone. I volunteered at different art festivals. These chances helped me to greatly improve my organizational and communication skills.
The most important and life-changing volunteering experience for me happened in the summer of 2019. During that time, I realized that just volunteering in my local area wasn’t enough. It was time for me to try volunteering abroad (在国外). I spent a month and a half in Romania teaching English to children from poor families. That experience helped me to improve my teaching skills. I also completely changed myself. It helped me become more confident and open-minded. I met people from all over the world and learned to work together with them. Since then, I have made many international friends. These days, I am always able to do better than my co-workers (同事) whenever my job needs cross-cultural communication.

Li Wei is 17 years old. He lost his left arm in a car accident when he was 10 years old. Life was hard for him after the accident. He had to learn to do everything with only one arm. At first, he couldn’t even put on his own clothes. He felt very sad and didn’t want to go to school. He thought that everyone would laugh at him.
But then his life changed when a volunteer teacher named Wang Fang came to his school. She noticed that Li Wei was good at drawing. She encouraged him to draw and helped him join the school art club.

With Wang Fang’s encouragement, Li Wei started to practice drawing every day. He spent all his free time drawing. Sometimes he drew for several hours without stopping. His hard work paid off. Last year, he won first prize in a national drawing competition for disabled teenagers. His drawings were shown in many cities around the country.
Now Li Wei is very confident. He says, “When I draw, I forget about my disability. I feel like I can do anything. I want to thank Ms. Wang for her help. She taught me that even if life gives you a broken wing, you can still fly high if you don’t give up.”

【导语】本文讲述了Susan Thompson通过每年举办善意庭院义卖,让人们自主定价付款,用筹得的钱帮助他人,并带动邻居参与,传递善意、影响他人的故事。
1.句意:它是一种能给她身边的每个人带来有意义改变的东西。everyone around her表示“她周围的每个人”,符合语境。
2.句意:苏珊的庭院义卖看起来和路边其他的庭院义卖没什么两样。主语是Susan’s yard sale,look like表示“看起来像”,用一般现在时,所以填looks。
3.句意:但当你凑近看时,你会发现待售的物品上没有标价。will后接动词原形,填find。
4.句意:如果人们想要某样东西,她会让他们自己决定愿意付多少钱。if引导条件状语从句,句首首字母大写。
5.句意:有人可能只花几美元就买走20条裙子,也有人会花200美元买一个用来把玩的小物件。固定搭配play with表示“玩……”,这里指“花200美元买一个小玩意儿玩”
6.句意:在苏珊的善意庭院甩卖结束后,她会用这笔钱帮助有需要的人,或是帮着填充食物贮藏室以备过冬。根据句意,帮助有需要的人需要用钱。
7.句意:在第一次庭院甩卖中,苏珊卖掉了自己的旧物品,筹到了1705美元。根据句意,这里要填表示“筹得”的词语raise,and连接并列谓语,sold是过去式,所以raise用过去式raised。
8.句意:他们带来了很多食物、衣服和其他有用的物品。修饰名词things,用形容词,use的形容词是useful。
9.句意:在接下来的几年里,越来越多的邻居加入进来。他们带来了很多食物、衣服和其他有用的物品,这个活动如今成为了一件平常事。
10.句意:苏珊说:“当你分享你的善意时,善意就会传播,所以走出去行善吧。”根据句意,这里需要填表示“分享”的词share,主语是 you,一般现在时,填share。

At the Westonaria agricultural park in South Africa, farm workers are busy planting vegetables. But there’s silence around the park. That’s because most people here are deaf and communicate in sign language. They’re members of the Voiceout Deaf, farming project started by Matebogo Victoria.
Victoria has hearing problems herself, so she understands the challenges deaf people face. While studying at the university, she had to take classes with a hearing partner to help her understand and communicate with her teachers.
Victoria used to work for a bank. After she saw a lot of deaf people staying at home and unemployed (失业的), she hoped to do something to help. “Communication is the biggest challenge in the deaf community,” she said. “There are 44 schools for the deaf across South Africa. Many of the deaf either don’t finish school or don’t have enough money to travel far to go to one of the schools.” After careful consideration, Victoria left her job and started an agricultural business to help deaf people gain farming skills and get jobs matching their skills.
As part of Voiceout Deaf, farmers-in-training work on three different farms. Most of them use sign language, making communication easy. Although each farm is a learning environment, it’s also a workplace and a business. The farmers get paid for their work, and their produce sells very well.
Sibongile Maake is one of the farm workers. “I’m delighted with the work on the farm. I’m working slowly but surely, and I’m learning while making money. I can do things by myself. I am able to pay for things I need,” she said.
1.Why did Victoria start the project?
A.To remind herself that life is hard for the deaf.
B.To enable the deaf to learn farming and get a job.
C.To show that deaf people can plant vegetables.
D.To help the deaf across South Africa to go to school.
2.What is right about Voiceout Deaf?

B.Farmers work for free in exchange for lessons.
C.It’s just a moving classroom for the deaf people.
D.People like buying what they grow on the farm.

William Dunn started Take a Kid Fishing, an organization (机构) that helps kids whose fathers weren’t around through fishing.
A few years ago, William noticed his six-year-old neighbor, Camran, often acted angrily. Camran shouted at his mom and ran outside. One day, William talked to him and learned Camran’s dad wasn’t around.
William asked Camran’s mom if he could take Camran fishing. His mother agreed and then William taught Camran how to fish by the lake. Camran loved it at once. After fishing together a few times, William saw Camran become calmer (更冷静). The good change also made Camran’s mom happier. “That’s when I realized many kids need help,” William said.
Now, William and volunteers take 20-25 kids fishing every weekend. The kids learn patience (耐心) and enjoy the peace from fishing. So far, the group has taken over 600 trips with nearly 2,000 kids.

During my teen years, I was a shy girl. I was never interested in volunteering. I just thought it was something people who had a lot of free time did. My opinion of volunteering changed when I started university. I heard my new friends talk about all the ways they had helped others and, in return, how they had improved themselves.
I started volunteering when I was 19 years old. As an English major, I volunteered to teach children English in schools in my city. Later, I realized I wasn’t getting anything new out of my volunteer service. I decided to move out of my comfort zone. I volunteered at different art festivals. These chances helped me to greatly improve my organizational and communication skills.
The most important and life-changing volunteering experience for me happened in the summer of 2019. During that time, I realized that just volunteering in my local area wasn’t enough. It was time for me to try volunteering abroad (在国外). I spent a month and a half in Romania teaching English to children from poor families. That experience helped me to improve my teaching skills. I also completely changed myself. It helped me become more confident and open-minded. I met people from all over the world and learned to work together with them. Since then, I have made many international friends. These days, I am always able to do better than my co-workers (同事) whenever my job needs cross-cultural communication.
Volunteering is one of the best things you could ever do, both for yourself and for the people you are going to help along the way. Don’t ever hesitate to join the community of volunteers!

Li Wei is 17 years old. He lost his left arm in a car accident when he was 10 years old. Life was hard for him after the accident. He had to learn to do everything with only one arm. At first, he couldn’t even put on his own clothes. He felt very sad and didn’t want to go to school. He thought that everyone would laugh at him.
But then his life changed when a volunteer teacher named Wang Fang came to his school. She noticed that Li Wei was good at drawing. She encouraged him to draw and helped him join the school art club. She told him, “You have only one arm, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do great things. You just need to work harder than others.”
With Wang Fang’s encouragement, Li Wei started to practice drawing every day. He spent all his free time drawing. Sometimes he drew for several hours without stopping. His hard work paid off. Last year, he won first prize in a national drawing competition for disabled teenagers. His drawings were shown in many cities around the country.
Now Li Wei is very confident. He says, “When I draw, I forget about my disability. I feel like I can do anything. I want to thank Ms. Wang for her help. She taught me that even if life gives you a broken wing, you can still fly high if you don’t give up.”
Li Wei now volunteers at an art center for disabled children every weekend. He teaches them how to draw and tells them his story. He wants to help other disabled children find confidence and realize their dreams. “I was once helped by others, and now I want to pass on the kindness,” he says.
