Need Help at Harbour Sports Centre
There is always someone to help at Harbour Sports Centre. Before your first activity, take a moment to find the front desk beside the main entrance. It is open throughout the centre's opening hours. Staff members wear green shirts with name badges. Student visitors should stay with their group leader unless another arrangement has been agreed.
If you become separated from your group, speak to a staff member. They will take you to the front desk and contact your leader. Do not keep moving between courts to search for friends. If your phone has no power, the desk can help you make a call. You will not have to leave the building to find a public phone.
If a ball or another object goes behind a barrier, ask a coach for help. Some areas contain equipment that visitors are not trained to use. A closed area may look empty, but that does not mean it is safe to enter. Please wait outside it.
If you notice damaged equipment, stop using it and tell a coach where it is. Describe what you saw rather than guessing how it broke. During an interruption to an activity, listen to the coach's announcement. A different court may be available, but please do not move there on your own.
Small problems are easier to deal with when staff hear about them early. You do not need to wait until somebody gets hurt before asking a question.

Nathan usually walked home along Bridge Street after his music lesson. One evening, a water pipe had broken under the road. Workers had closed the pavement as well as part of the street. His normal route was behind a barrier.
Nathan could see his street beyond the work area. Walking through would save him at least fifteen minutes. An older boy stepped around the barrier and disappeared behind a truck. Nathan took a step forward, then noticed water running across the ground and a worker guiding a machine backwards.
He stayed on the open side of the barrier and asked the worker where pedestrians should go. She pointed to a sign showing another route. Nathan had never used that road alone, so he moved to a safe place and called his father. He explained where he was and read the street names on the sign. Together, they worked out the way home.
The walk took longer than usual. At one corner, Nathan stopped outside an open shop to check the directions again. When he arrived home, dinner was already on the table. “Sorry I'm late,” he said. His father asked whether he had been frightened. “A little,” Nathan admitted, “but knowing the next step helped.”
The following day, Nathan still saw the barrier on Bridge Street. This time he did not need to call. He sent a message before taking the route he now knew. He was learning to travel independently without pretending that every road was familiar.
10. Why was Nathan’s usual route closed?
A. A music event had brought crowds to the pavement.
B. A shop was moving large machines across the road.
C. A broken pipe needed work under the road.
D. A truck had stopped at the entrance to his street.
11. What made Nathan stop before passing the barrier?
A. He heard his father calling from the other side.
B. He remembered that the music lesson was not over.
C. He noticed signs of active work and danger.
D. He saw the older boy come back without his bag.
12. How did Nathan and his father choose the new route?
A. They followed the older boy seen near the truck.
B. They used the street names Nathan read out.
C. They waited for a driver to offer Nathan a ride.
D. They asked the shopkeeper to draw a town map.
13. What does the ending suggest about independence?
A. It requires using a new route on every trip.
B. It means avoiding journeys that cause worry.
C. It develops by copying more confident people.
D. It can grow through asking for suitable help.
C
Imagine calling for help and saying only, “Something terrible has happened. Please come quickly.” The listener knows that you are worried, but may still have no idea where to send help. In an emergency call, clear information connects the person who needs help with the people who can provide it.
Location is a key part of that information. A street name and building number can be much more useful than “near my school”. A large building may have several entrances, so a floor or room number can help too. If you do not know an address, describe nearby street signs or a clear landmark that you can see from a safe place. Do not enter a dangerous area to look for a better description.
Next, describe what you actually know. “A person has fallen beside the west gate” gives a clearer picture than “There has been a terrible accident somewhere in the park”. Tell the call-taker about immediate dangers you can see. If a question asks for something you cannot tell, say so. Guessing may send the conversation in the wrong direction. You are providing observations, not solving the whole problem yourself.
The questions may seem slow when you are frightened. However, they help the call-taker understand what kind of help is needed. You may also be asked for the number you are calling from, so that someone can contact you again. Listen to the instructions and stay on the line until you are told to end the call. If the situation changes, explain what is different.
These skills can be practised without making a real emergency call. At home or in class, one person can describe an imaginary situation while another asks questions. Afterwards, compare the information: could the listener identify the place and understand the main problem? Never call a real emergency number just to practise. Those lines must remain available for people who need immediate help.
Knowing the correct emergency number where you live or travel is useful preparation. So is learning to notice addresses and building names during ordinary journeys. You do not have to sound fearless or use impressive words when something goes wrong. Short, accurate answers and careful listening can make a frightened caller a useful partner in getting help.

14. Which description would best help someone find a caller?
A. Outside the east door of 18 King Street.
B. Near a school that everybody knows well.
C. Across from a shop with lots of visitors.
D. Beside the place where our team meets.
15. What should a caller do when unsure about a detail?
A. Ask a nearby person to guess the answer.
B. Choose the answer that seems most likely.
C. Leave the safe area to discover the answer.
D. Tell the call-taker that they do not know.
16. Why may the call-taker ask for the caller’s phone number?
A. To contact the caller again if necessary.
B. To find the caller’s other family members.
C. To check how often the caller uses a phone.
D. To send the caller a practice conversation.
17. What does the writer mainly explain?
A. Why frightened people should let others make calls.
B. How to choose a phone for use during an emergency.
C. How to give useful information when calling for help.
D. Why people should record every journey they make.
D
When something goes wrong in a public place, people often feel they should do something immediately. That wish to help is valuable. Yet the most useful action may be less dramatic than we imagine. A good helper first asks what the situation needs and what they can safely offer.
Picture a visitor who becomes unwell at a busy exhibition. Several people move closer, each asking a different question. Someone starts recording a video. Although some of them mean well, the growing crowd makes it harder for staff to reach the visitor. A student who gets a staff member and then leaves a clear route may be doing more good than someone standing in the middle and giving loud advice.
This does not mean that young people should ignore problems. They can alert a trusted adult, explain the location clearly and follow instructions. They can also protect someone's privacy by keeping their phones away. A person having a difficult moment should not have to worry about becoming a video that others share. An audience is different from support.
There is a sensible limit to what an untrained helper should attempt. Wanting to help does not provide the skills needed to repair machinery or give complex first aid. If immediate professional help is needed, contact the appropriate emergency service from a safe place and follow the call-taker's guidance. We should not confuse confidence with ability. When trained people arrive, making room and passing on accurate information remain useful jobs.
Some students worry that asking an adult for help will make them look weak. But knowing when a task is beyond you is part of good judgement. At an event, an organiser may know which entrance a response team can use. A caretaker may understand equipment that a visitor has never seen. Bringing the right person into the situation is an action, even if it does not make an exciting story afterwards.
Schools often praise the person who rushes forward. They should also notice the person who reports a problem calmly, the classmate who stops a crowd forming, and the student who follows directions while feeling afraid. Helpful behaviour is measured by what it does for the person in trouble. Sometimes the best place to stand is close enough to listen, but far enough back to let the right help through.
词语:privacy 隐私;judgement 判断力
18. Why does the writer describe the exhibition in Paragraph 2?
A. To explain why exhibitions need fewer visitors.
B. To show that eager actions may get in the way.
C. To show that questions always waste valuable time.
D. To prove that students handle illness better.
19. What does “confuse confidence with ability” mean here?
A. Believe trained helpers sometimes feel worried.
B. Think asking questions can improve useful skills.
C. Notice that careful people may speak very quietly.
D. Treat feeling sure as having the right skills.
20. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5?
A. Organisers should give visitors more machine training.
B. Finding the right adult can show good judgement.
C. Adults should take part in more school events.
D. Students need exciting stories to build confidence.
21. Which action would the writer most likely praise?
A. Reporting clearly and leaving room for trained helpers.
B. Sharing a video to show friends what has just happened.
C. Offering firm advice about equipment one has never used.
D. Moving closer to learn every detail before telling staff.

参考译文
内森上完音乐课后,通常沿布里奇街走回家。一天傍晚,路下的水管破裂,工人封闭了人行道和部分车道。他平时走的路线在隔离栏后面。
内森能看到施工区那头自己家所在的街道。从中间穿过去,至少能省十五分钟。一个年纪较大的男孩绕过隔离栏,消失在一辆卡车后。内森向前走了一步,随后注意到地面上流动的水,以及一位正在指挥机器倒退的工人。
他留在隔离栏开放通行的一侧,问工人行人该往哪里走。她指着一个标有替代路线的路牌。内森以前没有独自走过那条路,于是走到安全的地方给爸爸打电话。他说明自己在哪里,并读出路牌上的街道名称。父子俩一起确定了回家的路线。
这次步行比平常花的时间长。在一个街角,内森停在一家营业的商店外,再次核对路线。到家时,晚饭已经摆上桌了。“抱歉,我回来晚了。”他说。爸爸问他有没有害怕。“有一点。”内森承认,“但知道下一步该怎么做让我安心了。”
第二天,内森仍看到了布里奇街的隔离栏。这次,他不需要打电话了。出发走那条已经熟悉的路线前,他发了一条消息。他正在学习独立出行,同时也不再假装自己对每条路都熟悉。
C
Imagine calling for help and saying only, “Something terrible has happened. Please come quickly.” The listener knows that you are worried, but may still have no idea where to send help. In an emergency call, clear information connects the person who needs help with the people who can provide it.
Location is a key part of that information. A street name and building number can be much more useful than “near my school”. A large building may have several entrances, so a floor or room number can help too. If you do not know an address, describe nearby street signs or a clear landmark that you can see from a safe place. Do not enter a dangerous area to look for a better description.
Next, describe what you actually know. “A person has fallen beside the west gate” gives a clearer picture than “There has been a terrible accident somewhere in the park”. Tell the call-taker about immediate dangers you can see. If a question asks for something you cannot tell, say so. Guessing may send the conversation in the wrong direction. You are providing observations, not solving the whole problem yourself.
The questions may seem slow when you are frightened. However, they help the call-taker understand what kind of help is needed. You may also be asked for the number you are calling from, so that someone can contact you again. Listen to the instructions and stay on the line until you are told to end the call. If the situation changes, explain what is different.
These skills can be practised without making a real emergency call. At home or in class, one person can describe an imaginary situation while another asks questions. Afterwards, compare the information: could the listener identify the place and understand the main problem? Never call a real emergency number just to practise. Those lines must remain available for people who need immediate help.
Knowing the correct emergency number where you live or travel is useful preparation. So is learning to notice addresses and building names during ordinary journeys. You do not have to sound fearless or use impressive words when something goes wrong. Short, accurate answers and careful listening can make a frightened caller a useful partner in getting help.

14. Which description would best help someone find a caller?
A. Outside the east door of 18 King Street.
B. Near a school that everybody knows well.
C. Across from a shop with lots of visitors.
D. Beside the place where our team meets.
【答案】A 【信息运用】第二段强调街道名、门牌号以及具体入口有助于定位。“18 King Street 的东门外”最具体,其余描述缺乏可识别的位置。
15. What should a caller do when unsure about a detail?
A. Ask a nearby person to guess the answer.
B. Choose the answer that seems most likely.
C. Leave the safe area to discover the answer.
D. Tell the call-taker that they do not know.
【答案】D 【细节理解】第三段明确要求不确定就如实说明,不能猜测,也不应为了获取信息进入危险区域。
16. Why may the call-taker ask for the caller’s phone number?
A. To contact the caller again if necessary.
B. To find the caller’s other family members.
C. To check how often the caller uses a phone.
D. To send the caller a practice conversation.
【答案】A 【细节理解】第四段说询问来电号码是为了在需要时再次联系来电者。
17. What does the writer mainly explain?
A. Why frightened people should let others make calls.
B. How to choose a phone for use during an emergency.
C. How to give useful information when calling for help.
D. Why people should record every journey they make.
【答案】C 【主旨大意】文章围绕位置、事实、回答问题与练习展开,核心是怎样在求助电话中提供有用信息,而非选手机或要求害怕的人不打电话。
参考译文
想象一下,你打电话求助时只说:“出大事了,请快来。”接听者知道你很着急,但可能仍不知道该把救援人员派到哪里。在紧急求助电话中,清楚的信息把需要帮助的人与能够提供帮助的人联系起来。
位置是其中一项关键信息。街道名称和门牌号可能比“在我学校附近”有用得多。大型建筑可能有几个入口,因此楼层或房间号也有帮助。如果不知道地址,可以描述在安全位置看到的附近路牌或明显地标。不要为了描述得更准确而进入危险区域。
接着,描述你确实知道的情况。“有人在西门旁摔倒了”比“公园里某处发生了一起可怕的事故”更清楚。告诉接听员你看到的眼前危险。如果被问到无法确定的事情,就如实说明。猜测可能让对话偏离方向。你的任务是提供观察所得的信息,而不是独自解决整个问题。
害怕时,你可能觉得对方的问题问得很慢。然而,这些问题有助于接听员了解需要哪种帮助。对方也可能询问你使用的电话号码,以便再次联系你。听从指示,在被告知可以结束通话前保持在线。如果情况变化了,就说明有哪些不同。
不用拨打真正的紧急电话,也能练习这些技能。在家中或课堂上,一个人可以描述假设的情境,另一个人提问。随后核对信息:接听者能否确定地点并了解主要问题?千万不要只是为了练习而拨打真实的紧急号码。这些线路必须留给需要立即获得帮助的人。
了解居住地或旅行目的地正确的紧急求助号码,是有用的准备。日常出行时学着留意地址和建筑名称也同样有用。出事时,你不必显得无所畏惧,也不必使用华丽的词语。简短准确的回答和认真倾听,能让一个害怕的求助者在获得帮助的过程中发挥作用。

When something goes wrong in a public place, people often feel they should do something immediately. That wish to help is valuable. Yet the most useful action may be less dramatic than we imagine. A good helper first asks what the situation needs and what they can safely offer.
Picture a visitor who becomes unwell at a busy exhibition. Several people move closer, each asking a different question. Someone starts recording a video. Although some of them mean well, the growing crowd makes it harder for staff to reach the visitor. A student who gets a staff member and then leaves a clear route may be doing more good than someone standing in the middle and giving loud advice.
This does not mean that young people should ignore problems. They can alert a trusted adult, explain the location clearly and follow instructions. They can also protect someone's privacy by keeping their phones away. A person having a difficult moment should not have to worry about becoming a video that others share. An audience is different from support.
There is a sensible limit to what an untrained helper should attempt. Wanting to help does not provide the skills needed to repair machinery or give complex first aid. If immediate professional help is needed, contact the appropriate emergency service from a safe place and follow the call-taker's guidance. We should not confuse confidence with ability. When trained people arrive, making room and passing on accurate information remain useful jobs.
Some students worry that asking an adult for help will make them look weak. But knowing when a task is beyond you is part of good judgement. At an event, an organiser may know which entrance a response team can use. A caretaker may understand equipment that a visitor has never seen. Bringing the right person into the situation is an action, even if it does not make an exciting story afterwards.
Schools often praise the person who rushes forward. They should also notice the person who reports a problem calmly, the classmate who stops a crowd forming, and the student who follows directions while feeling afraid. Helpful behaviour is measured by what it does for the person in trouble. Sometimes the best place to stand is close enough to listen, but far enough back to let the right help through.
词语:privacy 隐私;judgement 判断力
18. Why does the writer describe the exhibition in Paragraph 2?
A. To explain why exhibitions need fewer visitors.
B. To show that eager actions may get in the way.
C. To show that questions always waste valuable time.
D. To prove that students handle illness better.
【答案】B 【写作意图】展览的例子说明围拢询问等看似热心的行动可能阻碍工作人员接近当事人。作者没有否定所有提问。
19. What does “confuse confidence with ability” mean here?
A. Believe trained helpers sometimes feel worried.
B. Think asking questions can improve useful skills.
C. Notice that careful people may speak very quietly.
D. Treat feeling sure as having the right skills.
【答案】D 【句意理解】第四段指出有助人愿望不等于具备相关技能,因此该短语指把“自信”误当成“具备正确技能”。
20. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5?
A. Organisers should give visitors more machine training.
B. Finding the right adult can show good judgement.
C. Adults should take part in more school events.
D. Students need exciting stories to build confidence.
【答案】B 【段落大意】第五段回应“找成年人显得软弱”的担忧,用组织者和管理人员的例子说明请来合适的人体现判断力。
21. Which action would the writer most likely praise?
A. Reporting clearly and leaving room for trained helpers.
B. Sharing a video to show friends what has just happened.
C. Offering firm advice about equipment one has never used.
D. Moving closer to learn every detail before telling staff.
【答案】A 【观点判断】作者赞成清楚报告、留出通道、听从专业指导;擅自指挥、拍摄传播和围观拖延均与文意相反。
参考译文
公共场所出状况时,人们常常觉得应该立刻做点什么。这种助人的愿望很可贵。然而,最有用的行动可能没有我们想象的那么引人注目。好的帮助者首先会考虑:当前情境需要什么,自己又能安全地提供什么。
设想一名参观者在拥挤的展览上身体不适。几个人靠近,分别问着不同的问题,还有人开始录视频。虽然其中一些人出于好意,但越来越多的围观者让工作人员更难接近当事人。一个叫来工作人员、随后让出通道的学生,可能比站在人群中央大声出主意的人更有帮助。
这并不是说青少年应该对问题视而不见。他们可以通知可信任的成年人、清楚说明地点,并听从指示。他们也可以收起手机,保护当事人的隐私。处境艰难的人不应该还要担心自己变成别人传播的视频。围观和支持并不一样。
没有受过训练的帮助者能尝试什么,应有合理的界限。想帮忙并不等于具备修理机器或实施复杂急救所需的技能。如果需要立即获得专业帮助,应在安全地点联系相应的紧急服务,并听从接听员的指导。我们不应把自信和能力混为一谈。受过训练的人到场后,让出空间、传递准确的信息仍然是有用的工作。
一些学生担心,向成年人求助会让自己显得软弱。但知道一项任务超出自己的能力,是良好判断力的一部分。在活动现场,组织者可能知道救援人员可以使用哪个入口。管理人员可能了解访客从未见过的设备。把合适的人请来处理情况,本身就是一种行动,即使事后讲起来并不精彩。
学校常常表扬冲上前去的人,也应该留意那些冷静报告问题的人、阻止人群聚集的同学,以及虽然害怕却仍听从指示的学生。是否有帮助,要看行为给遇到困难的人带来了什么。有时,最好的站位是近到能听清指示,又退得足够远,让合适的帮助能够到达。

第一次去新美术社团时,克洛伊坐错了公交车。她正在读地址,公交车却拐向了远离市中心的方向。透过车窗,她看到一条自己不认识的街道。她查看车门上方的车号,感到脸上发烫。
她的第一个想法是立刻下车。随后,她记起妈妈的建议:如果不确定,在采取下一步行动之前先问一问。克洛伊等车停下后和司机说话,解释自己需要到市场广场。
司机告诉她,下一站是一个繁忙的公交总站,那里有工作人员值守的咨询台。克洛伊给妈妈打电话,说明情况。妈妈同意她去咨询台,到那里后再打一次电话。因为有了清楚的计划,克洛伊不那么紧张了。
在车站,一位工作人员帮她找到正确的公交车。克洛伊记下车号和下车站名。这次,上车前她把两项都核对了一遍。她迟到二十分钟到达社团,并向老师道歉。
“你犯了错,但处理得很明智。”老师说。回家路上,克洛伊更留意路线了。她还感谢妈妈没有生气,而是听她说明情况。当天晚上,她把公交信息记在包里的小本子上。她希望下次不需要帮忙,但她知道,寻求帮助也是一种本领。

朱利安正带着一箱书去奶奶家,电梯却停在了两层楼之间。灯还亮着,但门没有打开。一个叫西奥的小男孩拿着模型飞机,站在姑妈旁边。有几秒钟,大家都没说话,只能听见电梯风扇轻轻转动的声音。
西奥的姑妈按照按钮旁的说明按下警报按钮。扬声器里传来应答声。她报出楼名和电梯编号,接着说明里面有几个人。工作人员说,受过训练的维修人员正在赶来,请大家远离电梯门。朱利安把箱子放在了不会挡住别人的地方。
西奥哭了起来。他答应午饭前把飞机展示给爷爷看。“我们永远出不去了。”他小声说。朱利安想说,一分钟后一切就会好,但他不知道究竟要等多久。于是,他给了一个诚实的回答:“他们知道我们在哪里,而且正在派人来帮忙。”
外面有人喊,维修人员已经到了。西奥急着出去,向门口走去。姑妈温和地请他往后退,并提醒他等待指示。没有人试图强行拉开门。朱利安很高兴她的声音听起来很平静,因为他自己也有些担心。
为了帮西奥打发时间,朱利安问起那架飞机。西奥慢慢开始解释机翼是怎么做的。一边的机翼比另一边长,这让飞机转着圈飞。朱利安听着,并提出问题。他并不是在尝试解决电梯故障,那是维修人员的工作。不过,他可以让等待对小男孩来说不那么可怕。
过了一会儿,维修人员安全打开电梯门,帮助大家走出来。朱利安给在楼上等候的奶奶打电话,解释为什么迟到,并说自己安全了。见面后,奶奶感谢他及时让自己了解情况。
后来,西奥的姑妈告诉朱利安,他的交谈帮了大忙。他原以为自己没做多少事,现在他明白,帮助也可以意味着运用自己已经掌握的能力。那一天,他最有用的能力是倾听。

Possible Version 1
Dear Alex,
I’m glad you found your group. It is natural to feel worried when you get separated. Next time, you should stay calm and ask a museum worker for help. You shouldn’t keep walking around alone. Tell the worker your group leader’s name and phone number. Before a visit, agree on a meeting place with your friends. These steps can make the trip safer.
Yours,
Sam
Possible Version 2
Dear Alex,
Getting separated in an unfamiliar building can be frightening, so please don’t be too hard on yourself. If it happens again, pause in a safe place and look for an official help desk. Explain the situation to a staff member, who can contact your group leader. Wandering through different rooms may make it harder for others to find you. Before your next visit, agree on a meeting point and keep your leader’s contact details somewhere accessible, even if your phone loses power. Asking for help is a sensible part of becoming independent. I hope your next museum trip brings happier memories.
Yours,
Sam
