Last year, I went to a poor mountain village as a volunteer teacher. I stayed there for three months. That experience changed my life a lot.
When I first arrived there, I was shocked by the poor living conditions. The school was very old and small. There were only three classrooms and one office. The students had no books or pens. They had to write on the ground with sticks. But the students were very hard-working. They got up early every morning and walked a long way to school. They loved studying very much.
I taught them Chinese, English and Math. I also told them stories about the outside world. They were very interested in my stories and always asked me a lot of questions. I felt very happy when I saw the bright smiles on their faces.
After class, I played games with the students. We played basketball, badminton and hide-and-seek. They also taught me how to pick wild fruits and catch fish in the river. We had a lot of fun together.
When it was time for me to leave, the students were very sad. They gave me many gifts they made by themselves, such as paper flowers and cards. They said they would miss me very much. I cried too. I promised them that I would come back to see them again.
Now, I often write letters to the students. They also write to me and tell me about their study and life. That volunteer experience taught me that love is the most beautiful thing in the world. It can make the world a better place.

Brazilian artist Vik Muniz uses everyday objects in unusual ways. Through his art, Muniz makes people think differently about their everyday lives, even their own rubbish.
In 2007, Muniz worked on a two-year project at one of the world’s largest landfills (垃圾填埋场). About 3,000 rubbish pickers, known as catadores (拾荒者), worked there. Their job was to hunt through the rubbish for recyclable cans (罐子), bottles, and other materials. They then made money by selling the objects to recycling companies.
The catadores’ work was dirty and dangerous, and most of them only received between $20 and $25 a day. Despite the hard conditions, many catadores were proud of their work. Valter Dos Santos, a worker at the landfill for more than 25 years, told Muniz, “I am proud to be a picker. I tell people that recycling helps protect nature and the environment. People sometimes say, ‘But one single soda can?’ One single can is of great importance! That single can will make the difference.”
Muniz became friends with Dos Santos and other catadores. They allowed him to take their photographs at the landfill for artistic portraits (肖像). For example, Muniz photographed a landfill worker in the style of a famous French painting. The workers then helped Muniz create huge images (图像) of these photos on the floor of his workshop. They used materials from the landfill to add color and depth to the images.
▲ Muniz says he wanted to “change the lives of people with the same materials they deal with every day.” A photograph of his recreation of the French painting sold for $28,000 and gave the money to the catadores workers’ organization.
A film called Waste Land was made about Muniz’s project. It won many awards and made more people know about the pickers’ lives. The catadores also saw themselves differently.

Are you afraid of big storms? Many people are. But did you know some people go out to chase tornadoes? Such storms can hit suddenly and move very quickly, so storm chasers always have to be prepared.
When a tornado is about to hit, professional storm chasers try and get close to it to collect important information. Storm chaser Tim Samaras designed and built many different instruments for studying tornadoes. Throughout his career, the engineer chased down more than 120 tornadoes. Often, he filmed the storms while they were happening just a few kilometres away.
During a storm, storm chasers put special equipment in the way of the tornado. The equipment collects information about things such as wind speed and air pressure. This helps scientists to make better forecasts. It can even help people understand how powerful the winds can be, and as a result, change how we build our houses.
Storm chasing can be exciting, but also very dangerous. The storm chasers’ knowledge and experience are not always enough to keep them safe. On 31 May 2013, Samaras and his team were chasing the El Reno tornado in Oklahoma, USA.To their surprise, the tornado behaved in an unexpected way. It grew rapidly and changed its speed and direction.
On that terrible day, the largest tornado ever recorded appeared. It was 4.2 kilometres wide and had winds topping 480 kilometres per hour. While the tornado was moving towards them, Samaras and his team were driving as fast as they could. Sadly, when the tornado hit their car, it threw their car into the air like a toy. All three men in the car died.
The story of Tim Samaras is very sad, but his work continues to play an important role in weather science. Though storm chasing remains a dangerous job, the goal of storm chasers is to learn more about storms to keep people safe. For people like Samaras, that goal makes it all worth it.
21.What is the main reason for professional storm chasers to get close to tornadoes?
A.To take exciting photos and videos. B.To collect important scientific data.
C.To test the strength of their cars. D.To warn local people in person.
22.What does the underlined word “forecasts” in Paragraph 3 most likely mean?
A.Future weather predictions. B.Safety instructions.
C.Building designs. D.Storm videos.
23.Why did Samaras and his team fail to escape the tornado on 31 May 2013?
A.Their car ran out of gas. B.They did not see the tornado coming.
C.The tornado grew faster and changed path surprisingly. D.They decided to stop and collect data.
24.Why does the author describe the car being thrown “like a toy” in Paragraph 5?
A.To show how powerful the tornado was. B.To explain the car was poorly made.
C.To suggest the team was careless. D.To compare a toy with a real car.
25.What is the author’s attitude towards storm chasers like Tim Samaras?
A.Critical and careful. B.Admiring but realistic (现实的) about risks.
C.Doubtful about their methods. D.Indifferent to their loss.

以下是一则短文,请阅读短文,从六个句子中选择五个还原原文中,使原文的意思完整、连贯。
In today’s world, mastering more than one language has become increasingly valuable. What is your first language and can you speak another one? Learning a second language is really helpful for us. 26

Learning a second language improves your memory. Becoming bilingual (会说两种语言的) exercises your mind, helps you stay focused, and improves your problem-solving skills. 27 Learning a second language also improves your first language, as it teaches you the rules behind any language—not just new languages.
It’s great for traveling.
Austrian thinker Ludwig Wittgenstein said that “the limits of your language are the limits of your world” and he had a good point. 28 Traveling through a foreign country becomes much easier if you can speak the language of that country.
It increases your creativity.
29 Learning a foreign language not only improves your ability to solve problems, it also makes you try out new words.
It builds up your self-confidence.
You’re about to teach yourself to believe, “Yes, I can.” Confidence increases when a new skill is mastered, and learning a foreign language is no different. 30 The way you use to develop a second language helps you become more open-minded.
A.There are many advantages of learning a foreign language.
B.Speaking different languages makes people more creative.
C.Bilingual students have a better chance of getting good grades.
D.Knowing more than one language opens up your vacation possibilities.
E.Confident people are more interesting than those unsure of themselves.
F.Language learning is closely related to one’s family background.

【详解】16.第三段引用Valter Dos Santos的话:“I am proud to be a picker. I tell people that recycling helps protect nature and the environment...One single can is of great importance!”,这直接体现了拾荒者工作的价值,因此作者提及他是为了展示拾荒者工作的价值。
17.第四段指出:“Muniz photographed a landfill worker in the style of a famous French painting. The workers then helped Muniz create huge images of these photos on the floor of his workshop. They used materials from the landfill to add color and depth to the images”,说明照片只是他不寻常创作的一部分,后续还有用垃圾材料创作巨型图像的环节。
18.第五段空格后提到:“Muniz says he wanted to ‘change the lives of people with the same materials they deal with every day’”,解释了用垃圾创作巨型图像的原因,因此空格处应是提出“为什么要用垃圾创作这样的巨型图像?”这一问题,引出下文的原因说明。
19.文章结构分析:第一段总述艺术家维克·穆尼斯用日常物品进行特别创作,让人们重新看待生活甚至垃圾;第二段和第三段介绍垃圾填埋场拾荒者的工作、艰苦条件以及他们对工作的自豪;第四段和第五段详细描述穆尼斯为拾荒者拍照,并利用垃圾材料创作巨型图像的过程及目的;第六段讲述相关纪录片的影响和拾荒者的自我认知转变。因此正确结构为① → ②③ → ④⑤ → ⑥。
20.全文核心围绕穆尼斯的艺术创作展开:他用拾荒者日常接触的垃圾作为材料,创作艺术作品,不仅产生了艺术价值,还改变了拾荒者的生活,带来了希望,因此“改变生活的艺术:垃圾、工人与希望”最适合作为文章标题。
C
Are you afraid of big storms? Many people are. But did you know some people go out to chase tornadoes? Such storms can hit suddenly and move very quickly, so storm chasers always have to be prepared.
When a tornado is about to hit, professional storm chasers try and get close to it to collect important information. Storm chaser Tim Samaras designed and built many different instruments for studying tornadoes. Throughout his career, the engineer chased down more than 120 tornadoes. Often, he filmed the storms while they were happening just a few kilometres away.
During a storm, storm chasers put special equipment in the way of the tornado. The equipment collects information about things such as wind speed and air pressure. This helps scientists to make better forecasts. It can even help people understand how powerful the winds can be, and as a result, change how we build our houses.
Storm chasing can be exciting, but also very dangerous. The storm chasers’ knowledge and experience are not always enough to keep them safe. On 31 May 2013, Samaras and his team were chasing the El Reno tornado in Oklahoma, USA.To their surprise, the tornado behaved in an unexpected way. It grew rapidly and changed its speed and direction.
On that terrible day, the largest tornado ever recorded appeared. It was 4.2 kilometres wide and had winds topping 480 kilometres per hour. While the tornado was moving towards them, Samaras and his team were driving as fast as they could. Sadly, when the tornado hit their car, it threw their car into the air like a toy. All three men in the car died.
The story of Tim Samaras is very sad, but his work continues to play an important role in weather science. Though storm chasing remains a dangerous job, the goal of storm chasers is to learn more about storms to keep people safe. For people like Samaras, that goal makes it all worth it.
21.What is the main reason for professional storm chasers to get close to tornadoes?
A.To take exciting photos and videos. B.To collect important scientific data.
C.To test the strength of their cars. D.To warn local people in person.
22.What does the underlined word “forecasts” in Paragraph 3 most likely mean?
A.Future weather predictions. B.Safety instructions.
C.Building designs. D.Storm videos.
23.Why did Samaras and his team fail to escape the tornado on 31 May 2013?
A.Their car ran out of gas. B.They did not see the tornado coming.
C.The tornado grew faster and changed path surprisingly. D.They decided to stop and collect data.
24.Why does the author describe the car being thrown “like a toy” in Paragraph 5?
A.To show how powerful the tornado was. B.To explain the car was poorly made.
C.To suggest the team was careless. D.To compare a toy with a real car.
25.What is the author’s attitude towards storm chasers like Tim Samaras?
A.Critical and careful. B.Admiring but realistic (现实的) about risks.
C.Doubtful about their methods. D.Indifferent to their loss.
【答案】21.B 22.A 23.C 24.A 25.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了风暴追逐者的工作、目的与风险,还讲述了风暴追逐者Tim Samaras的相关经历。
【详解】21.根据第二段中的“When a tornado is about to hit, professional storm chasers try and get close to it to collect important information.”可知,专业的风暴追逐者试图靠近它是为了收集重要的科学数据。
22.根据第三段中的“The equipment collects information about things such as wind speed and air pressure. This helps scientists to make better forecasts. It can even help people understand how powerful the winds can be, and as a result, change how we build our houses.”可知,收集的气象数据是用来帮助科学家做出更准确的天气预报,所以“forecasts”指未来的天气预测。
23.根据第四段中的“To their surprise, the tornado behaved in an unexpected way. It grew rapidly and changed its speed and direction.”可知,龙卷风意外地快速变大并改变了速度和方向,导致他们无法逃脱。
24.根据第五段中的“Sadly, when the tornado hit their car, it threw their car into the air like a toy. ”可知,用“像玩具一样”被抛起的汽车,是为了体现龙卷风的威力巨大。
25.根据最后一段中的“The story of Tim Samaras is very sad, but his work continues to play an important role in weather science. Though storm chasing remains a dangerous job, the goal of storm chasers is to learn more about storms to keep people safe. For people like Samaras, that goal makes it all worth it.”可知,作者既肯定了他们工作的价值,也点明了这项工作的危险性,因此,作者的态度是赞赏,但也认为是有风险的。

In today’s world, mastering more than one language has become increasingly valuable. What is your first language and can you speak another one? Learning a second language is really helpful for us. 26
You become smarter.
Learning a second language improves your memory. Becoming bilingual (会说两种语言的) exercises your mind, helps you stay focused, and improves your problem-solving skills. 27 Learning a second language also improves your first language, as it teaches you the rules behind any language—not just new languages.
It’s great for traveling.
Austrian thinker Ludwig Wittgenstein said that “the limits of your language are the limits of your world” and he had a good point. 28 Traveling through a foreign country becomes much easier if you can speak the language of that country.
It increases your creativity.
29 Learning a foreign language not only improves your ability to solve problems, it also makes you try out new words.
It builds up your self-confidence.
You’re about to teach yourself to believe, “Yes, I can.” Confidence increases when a new skill is mastered, and learning a foreign language is no different. 30 The way you use to develop a second language helps you become more open-minded.
A.There are many advantages of learning a foreign language.
B.Speaking different languages makes people more creative.
C.Bilingual students have a better chance of getting good grades.
D.Knowing more than one language opens up your vacation possibilities.
E.Confident people are more interesting than those unsure of themselves.
F.Language learning is closely related to one’s family background.

29.后文介绍学外语可以锻炼解题能力并且可以尝试新词“Learning a foreign language not only improves your ability…”,开头需要设置主旨句总领全段。选项B“Speaking different languages makes people more creative.”点明多语言提升创造力,紧扣本段提升创造力的中心。
30.前句提到学习外语能够收获自信“Confidence increases when a new skill is mastered…”,后句讲述学习外语开阔眼界“…helps you become more open-minded.”,中间需要补充自信相关内容。选项E“Confident people are more interesting than those unsure of themselves.”围绕自信展开,衔接自然。
