Heidi walked behind her aunt, Dete. They were walking through the village and up the mountain. Heidi was very hot because she was wearing all her clothes. She had to carry them to her new home. She was only six years old. As Heidi and her aunt hurried out of the village, a villager stopped to talk. “Dete, is this the child your sister left when she died? Where are you taking her?” “Yes, this is Heidi. I am taking her to live with her grandfather. I’m starting a job in the city, so I can’t take care of her anymore.” While Dete was talking with the villager, Heidi met a boy named Peter. He was the village sheep-herder (牧羊人). Every morning, Peter came to the village to get the sheep. He was going to take them up the mountain and Heidi followed him. She couldn’t keep up with him because of her heavy clothes, so she took off some of them. Then she danced behind Peter. He thought she was funny. The two children began laughing. Dete caught up with them. “Where are your clothes?” she asked.“I don’t need them,” Heidi said. “I want to run free like the sheep!” Dete gave Heidi an angry look and sent Peter to get her clothes. They walked for another hour. Near the mountaintop, the old man was sitting in front of the house. 39. Who was Heidi? A. Dete’s daughter. B. Dete's sister’s daughter. C. Dete’s sister. D. Dete’s brother’s daughter. 40. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Clothes. B. Villagers. C. Sheep. D. Children. 41. What can we know from the text? A. Heidi was 10 years old. B. The old man was a village sheepherder. C. Dete didn’t take care of Heidi. D. Dete took Heidi to live with Heidi’s grandfather. 【答案】39. B 40. A 41. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了小女孩海蒂（Heidi）跟随姑姑 Dete 去投奔祖父的故事。途中她偶遇牧羊人 Peter，被羊群吸引，甚至想脱掉衣服像羊一样自由奔跑，展现了她天真烂漫、向往自由的性格。 【39题详解】 第二段中村民问Dete: “Dete, is this the child your sister left when she died?”，Dete回答：“Yes, this is Heidi.”。这直接说明海蒂是Dete姐姐的女儿。 【40题详解】 根据第三段“She couldn’t keep up with him because of her heavy clothes, so she took off some of them.”可知，因为衣服太重跟不上，所以她脱下了一些衣服。此处them指代前文提到的clothes。 【41题详解】 根据第二段Dete说的话“I am taking her to live with her grandfather.”可知，Dete正带Heidi 去和她的祖父一起生活。A项年龄错误（文中为 6 岁）；B 项牧羊人是 Peter；C 项与文意不符。 C Each country has many good people who help to take care of others. For example, some high school and college students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals,orphanages (孤儿院) or homes for the old. They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems. Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clean up, or repair their houses or do their shopping. For boys who no longer have fathers, there is an organization called Big Brothers. College students and other men take them to baseball games or on fishing trips and help them to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers. Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games or learn skills. Some of these clubs show movies or organize short trips to the mountains, the beaches, museums or other places of interest. Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to remember the problems of younger boys and girls. Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others. 42. Which volunteer activity is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. Repair the houses. B. Play games. C. Read books. D. Listen to problems. 43. What does the underlined word “them” refer to? A. The young volunteers. B. The boys who no longer have fathers. C. The sick people. D. The boys who have brothers. 44. Why do some clubs use many high school and college students as volunteers? A. Because they have a lot of free time. B. Because they like the work. C. Because they know how to do the work. D. Because they can remember the problems of younger boys and girls. 45. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The life of college students is colorful. B. The organization Big Brothers is popular. C. Some people’s lives are difficult. D. The volunteers from high schools and colleges help a lot. 【答案】42. A 43. B 44. D 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国高中生和大学生参与志愿服务的情况。文章详细描述了志愿者们如何在医院、孤儿院、敬老院以及“大哥哥”组织等地帮助他人，并探讨了年轻人参与志愿工作的原因及其带来的积极影响，强调了帮助他人能带来快乐。 【42题详解】 根据第一段内容“They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems.”可知，第一段提到了读书、玩游戏和倾听问题，而“Repair the houses”出现在第二段“Other young volunteers... repair their houses”，不属于第一段的内容。 【43题详解】 根据划线词所在句的前一句“For boys who no longer have fathers, there is an organization called Big Brothers.”可知，“Big Brothers”组织是为了帮助那些没有父亲的男孩建立的。紧接着说大学生和其他人带“them”去看比赛等，因此“them”指代的是前文提到的“没有父亲的男孩”。 【44题详解】 根据文章第二段倒数第二句“Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to remember the problems of younger boys and girls.”可知，俱乐部使用高中生和大学生做志愿者是因为他们足够年轻，能记得年幼孩子的问题。 【45题详解】 通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了美国高中生和大学生作为志愿者在医院、孤儿院、老人院以及通过“Big Brothers”组织和俱乐部等多种形式帮助他人的情况。选项 D“来自高中和大学的志愿者帮助了很多”最能概括文章主旨。 D Bottle gourd pyrography (葫芦烙画) is an art of burning pictures on the surface of the gourds (葫芦). The skill known as pyrography dates back more than 2,200 years ago to the Qin Dynasty. The gourd has long been considered to bring good luck, because in Chinese the word for “gourd” sounds like the words for “blessing and wealth”. It was often used to store food, ladle water or hold water when people went out. Its shape made it a perfect tool in the past. In ancient times, many doctors used it to hold medicine and hung it in front of their clinics (诊所). Skilled artists can turn common gourds into artworks. The first step is to pick a golden gourd.

It was often used to store food, ladle water or hold water when people went out.Its shape made it a perfect tool in the past.(葫芦一直被认为能带来好运，因为在中文中，“葫芦”这个词听起来像“祝福和财富”。人们外出时，……经常被用来储存食物、舀水或盛水。它的形状使其成为过去的完美工具。)联系前句可猜测出下滑线单词It应指代的是：葫芦，故选B。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Finally, he usually takes advantage of the natural shape of the gourd, burning the pictures with electric category pens.

I was finishing off high school. While I was looking forward to my college years, I also felt a strong wish to volunteer abroad. So I took a gap year (间隔年) and went to volunteer in South Africa. I took part in the Child Care Project. We worked in a foster care home and spent time with a group of orphans (孤儿) between the ages of 0 and 3. There was nothing as exciting as seeing a baby taking her first steps, hearing a two-year-old girl repeat all of the letters in the alphabet after I said them, seeing a little boy kick or catch balls of different sizes, and watching all of the kids carefully wash their hands as it became a habit. These were the skills that I watched the children develop during my time there. My heart was filled with pride. I also took part in the Teaching Project and worked in a preschool. Teaching was more tiring. Some children were naughty. They didn't always listen to me. But it's hard to describe the joy I felt when the kids finally understood what I was trying to teach them. Volunteering in South Africa changed my life. It changed who I am as a person. I cannot be more thankful for this amazing experience. 53.

Heidi walked behind her aunt, Dete. They were walking through the village and up the mountain. Heidi was very hot because she was wearing all her clothes. She had to carry them to her new home. She was only six years old. As Heidi and her aunt hurried out of the village, a villager stopped to talk. “Dete, is this the child your sister left when she died? Where are you taking her?” “Yes, this is Heidi. I am taking her to live with her grandfather. I’m starting a job in the city, so I can’t take care of her anymore.” While Dete was talking with the villager, Heidi met a boy named Peter. He was the village sheep-herder (牧羊人). Every morning, Peter came to the village to get the sheep. He was going to take them up the mountain and Heidi followed him. She couldn’t keep up with him because of her heavy clothes, so she took off some of them. Then she danced behind Peter. He thought she was funny. The two children began laughing. Dete caught up with them. “Where are your clothes?” she asked.“I don’t need them,” Heidi said. “I want to run free like the sheep!” Dete gave Heidi an angry look and sent Peter to get her clothes. They walked for another hour. Near the mountaintop, the old man was sitting in front of the house. 39. Who was Heidi? A. Dete’s daughter. B. Dete's sister’s daughter. C. Dete’s sister. D.

C Each country has many good people who help to take care of others. For example, some high school and college students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals,orphanages (孤儿院) or homes for the old. They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems. Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clean up, or repair their houses or do their shopping. For boys who no longer have fathers, there is an organization called Big Brothers. College students and other men take them to baseball games or on fishing trips and help them to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers. Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games or learn skills. Some of these clubs show movies or organize short trips to the mountains, the beaches, museums or other places of interest. Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to remember the problems of younger boys and girls. Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others. 42. Which volunteer activity is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. Repair the houses. B. Play games. C. Read books. D. Listen to problems. 43. What does the underlined word “them” refer to? A. The young volunteers. B. The boys who no longer have fathers. C. The sick people. D.

D Bottle gourd pyrography (葫芦烙画) is an art of burning pictures on the surface of the gourds (葫芦). The skill known as pyrography dates back more than 2,200 years ago to the Qin Dynasty. The gourd has long been considered to bring good luck, because in Chinese the word for “gourd” sounds like the words for “blessing and wealth”. It was often used to store food, ladle water or hold water when people went out. Its shape made it a perfect tool in the past. In ancient times, many doctors used it to hold medicine and hung it in front of their clinics (诊所). Skilled artists can turn common gourds into artworks. The first step is to pick a golden gourd. Then the artist draws a creative picture on the gourd. Finally, he usually takes advantage of (利用) the natural shape of the gourd, burning the pictures with electric category pens. This is the most difficult step. If there is any mistake in this step, all the work will go back to the beginning. Zheng Xiaoliang from Anhui has been working on the gourd art for more than 40 years. “The gourd pyrography is difficult with a pyrography brush to create a wonderful picture and it requires skills in painting,” Zheng said. “If you want to learn this kind of art, you need to...” 46. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The medicine. B. The bottle gourd. C. The clinic. D. The picture. 47. Which step might be the most difficult to finish a gourd pyrography? A. Picking. B. Drawing. C. Burning. D. Copying. 48. What may Zheng talk about in the last paragraph? A. The future of the bottle gourd pyrography. B. The value of the bottle gourd pyrography. C. How to spread the bottle gourd pyrography. D. How to learn the bottle gourd pyrography.

So I took a gap year (间隔年) and went to volunteer in South Africa. I took part in the Child Care Project. We worked in a foster care home and spent time with a group of orphans (孤儿) between the ages of 0 and 3. There was nothing as exciting as seeing a baby taking her first steps, hearing a two-year-old girl repeat all of the letters in the alphabet after I said them, seeing a little boy kick or catch balls of different sizes, and watching all of the kids carefully wash their hands as it became a habit. These were the skills that I watched the children develop during my time there. My heart was filled with pride. I also took part in the Teaching Project and worked in a preschool. Teaching was more tiring. Some children were naughty. They didn't always listen to me. But it's hard to describe the joy I felt when the kids finally understood what I was trying to teach them. Volunteering in South Africa changed my life. It changed who I am as a person. I cannot be more thankful for this amazing experience. 53.
