课时冲关14　Unit 2　Making a difference Ⅰ.阅读理解 体裁：记叙文 话题：清理河流的行动 When I was twelve, my dad took me to the Silver Creek, a river that flowed like glass behind our village. “This river has fed our family for three generations，” he said, pointing to the fish swimming beneath the water. I remember dipping my toes in, feeling the cold water pull at my ankles while dragonflies flew over the surface. But last summer, when I came back from college, I was shocked. The once­beautiful river was now full of plastic bags and chemical foam(泡沫). Dead fish floated on the surface, and the smell of rot was everywhere. My dad's stories echoed in my ears like a joke. That night, I couldn't sleep. By morning, I had a plan. I made posters and got my classmates together－Lily, who loved biology; Tom, the rugby team captain; and even shy Mei from the art club. We met at the riverbank the next Saturday, with gloves and determination. Old Mr. Li, who still fished in the dirty water, laughed and said, “Fools! You can't fix what's already dead.” The work was tough. We had to remove tires, broken TVs, and a rusty bicycle buried in the mud. One rainy afternoon, as I tried to pull a broken fridge out of the mud, my foot slipped on some algae. I fell into the rocks and cut my hand. Lily was shocked, but before she could say anything, old Mr. Li came over with bandages and some ginger tea. “Stubborn kid，” he said, but his eyes were kind. “You've made me recall this river was once our life.” By winter, something amazing happened. Kingfishers came back, flying through the air with their bright blue wings. Kids started skipping stones again, and their laughter filled the air. At our last gathering, Tom held up a photo from our first cleanup: a big pile of trash bags. “Look how far we've come，” he said. But the real win wasn't just a clean river－it was the village finding its heart again, one bottle at a time. [语篇解读]　这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者在十二岁时与父亲在Silver Creek的美好回忆，但当他大学暑假回家时，发现这条曾经美丽的河流已经被严重污染，于是作者发起了一场清理河流的行动，最终让河流恢复了生机，也让村庄找回了它的灵魂。 1．Why did the author start the cleanup campaign? A．To restore the polluted river. B．To study environmental science. C．To earn recognition from classmates. D．To fulfill his father's childhood wish. 解析：A　[推理判断题。根据文章第二段“But last summer, when I came back from college, I was shocked. The once­beautiful river was now full of plastic bags and chemical foam(泡沫). Dead fish floated on the surface, and the smell of rot was everywhere.(但去年夏天，当我从大学回来时，我震惊了。这条曾经美丽的河流现在充满了塑料袋和化学泡沫。死鱼漂浮在水面上，到处都是腐烂的气味。)”和第三段“By morning, I had a plan. I made posters and got my classmates together(到了早上，我有一个计划。我做了海报，并召集了我的同学)”可知，作者在看到河流被严重污染后，决定发起一场清理河流的运动，目的是为了恢复被污染的河流。] 2．What major challenge did the cleanup team face during their work? A．Government interference. B．Conflicts among volunteers. C．Resistance from local fishermen. D．Removing large buried objects. 解析：D　[细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The work was tough. We had to remove tires, broken TVs, and a rusty bicycle buried in the mud.(这项工作很艰难。我们必须移除埋在泥里的轮胎、破碎的电视机和生锈的自行车。)”可知，清理团队在工作中面临的主要挑战是移除埋在地下的大型物体。] 3．What caused Mr. Li to change his attitude? A．Pressure from other villagers. B．The author's academic background. C．The author's accident and persistence. D．The improvement of the river's condition. 解析：C　[推理判断题。根据文章第四段“One rainy afternoon, as I tried to pull a broken fridge out of the mud, my foot slipped on some algae. I fell into the rocks and cut my hand. Lily was shocked, but before she could say anything, old Mr. Li came over with bandages and some ginger tea. ‘Stubborn kid，’ he said, but his eyes were kind. ‘You've made me recall this river was once our life’．(一个下雨的下午，当我试图把一台破冰箱从泥里拉出来时，我的脚在藻类上滑倒了。我摔倒在岩石上，割伤了手。莉莉很震惊，但她还没来得及说什么，老李先生就带着绷带和一些姜茶过来了。‘固执的孩子，’他说，但他的眼神很和善。‘你让我想起了这条河曾经是我们的生命。’)”可知，作者的事故和坚持让李先生改变了他的态度。] 4．Which is the best title for the text? A．Small Acts, Big Changes B．Dirty River, Lost Hopes C．The Fisherman's Warning D．A Student's Summer Story 解析：A　[主旨大意题。文章讲述了作者在看到河流被严重污染后，决定发起一场清理河流的运动，最终让河流恢复了生机，也让村庄找回了它的灵魂。这个故事强调了小行动可以带来大改变的主题。所以选项A“小行动，大改变”作为标题最合适。] Ⅱ.完形填空 体裁：记叙文 话题：分发面包给被暴风雪困在高速公路的人们 One day, hundreds of people were stuck in traffic on the highway in belowfreezing temperatures due to a snowstorm.
