Ken Wood is saving lives in Africa, one clean water source (水源) at a time. Wood's organization, Lifetime Wells For Ghana, started its first few years just drilling (钻) wells in that part of Africa. Since about 2011, they've also begun drilling in Tanzania. They've dug more than 1, 500 wells in their ten years.
Wood runs a company, Lifetime Well Drilling. Ten years ago a mission from York, Pennsylvania, came and asked to buy one of his company's old water rigs (设备). His life got turned upside down when the mission asked not only to buy a rig, but also for Wood to go along on the trip and advise. At first, Wood wasn't so sure about it. Then he went to a meeting two weeks later. The keynote speaker was a man from Ghana, who came and spoke about the water crisis (危机). And that's when Wood knew — it was a sign, and he had to go.
Wood came home after that trip and knew he had to keep helping. The group he went with couldn't afford to keep it up, Wood said. So he sold a car and used the money to continue the vision. Now Wood goes down to Africa four times a year, three weeks at a time.
As incredible a process as this entire experience has been it hasn't always been easy, Wood said. For most of the years, 90% of the project has been financially (金融地) supported by Wood himself. His wife is a great person for allowing him to spend their money on this project. While she can't make the trips herself, Wood knows she supports him even when he leaves for up to three months each year. It's not easy. It takes a lot of money. But even as he ages, and even as money is not enough, Wood makes his trips to Africa.
“Just knowing that people are going to live that weren't going to live,” Wood said, “that's worth it.” People who would be sick because of poor water quality — they're healthy. To him, that is what matters.
24. What did Wood do in Africa
A. He helped some people obtain safe drinking water.
B. He gave away a lot of water rigs for free.
C. He started a company.
D. He made a 10-year trip.
25. What made Wood decide to go to Africa
A. His wish to enlarge his company.
B. A speech from an African man.
C. His failure to save his business.
D. A meeting with a mission from York.
26. What is the attitude of Wood's wife to his action
A. Supportive.
B. Doubtful.
C. Uncaring.
D. Reserved.
27. Which of the following can best describe Wood
A. Smart and brave.
B. Creative and strict.
C. Helpful and determined.
D. Honest and easygoing.

Eight hours and 48 miles into what was supposed to be a 24-hour run, Dan Frank entered his Columbia, MD, home at 2 a.m. last Saturday and sat on the sofa in the living room.
Frank, a 36-year-old who teaches math at Paint Branch High in Burtonsville, runs as a hobby, and about two weeks earlier he set a plan of running for 24 straight hours in support of the Howard County Food Bank during the COVID-19 outbreak. But he hit a wall.
Frank didn't stay long. He got back up, had a lot to eat and drink, and returned to running Howard County's roads. “It was like: ‘All right, well, you can't imagine getting up, but it doesn't really matter. Other people are depending on this, so get up and go,'” said Frank, who posted updates (最新消息) of his run on Facebook.
Late last month, David Kilgore, a 28-year-old who has made a career out of running, ran 100 miles in about 17 hours 47 minutes in Florida to help provide medical workers with supportive footwear. Frank brainstormed his idea and ran for about two weeks while he prepared for the online classes he is now teaching.
Frank began running about five years ago, and he has always felt road races were too serious for him. Still, he was encouraged to provide for those in need. His children attend Phelps Luck Elementary, where every month a mobile food pantry (储藏柜) is stationed. “Over the past month, fewer donations have been made to the food bank,” he said. “In good times, about 40 families show up every time we have that mobile food pantry, and I can't imagine what it might be like now, with so many people losing their jobs.”
On Sunday night Frank had raised nearly $12, 000 for the Howard County Food Bank. “The coolest part besides raising the money is watching a community do a common cause in these times,” Frank said. “People are looking for things like that right now. They're at home on Facebook anyway; they want to cheer something on that has some good meaning behind it.”
28. What does the underlined phrase “hit a wall” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Lost his way.
B. Made no progress.
C. Got seriously hurt.
D. Became terribly tired.
29. What gave Frank the idea to run for a good cause
A. The encouragement from his online friends.
B. The advice of a medical worker.
C. Another runner's kind act.
D. His great love for running.
30. What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 5
A. The mobile food pantry is popular among many people.
B. There has been a great need for food in the local community.
C. Frank made it his task to do something for his children's school.
D. More and more people are unwilling to support feeding local families.
31. How did Frank's money-raising run turn out
A. It drew people's attention to exercise.
B. It received a lot of support from others.
C. It raised as much money as he had expected.
D. It encouraged other communities to do the same.
D
Added sugar exists in nearly 70 percent of packaged (袋装的) foods and is found in bread, snacks, and most breakfast foods. The average American eats about 17 teaspoons of added sugar a day (not counting the sugar that exists naturally in foods like fruit). That's about double the suggested limit for men (nine teaspoons) and three times as much as the limit for women (six teaspoons).
A number of health organizations agree that cutting back on added sugar is a good idea. They believe that added sugar is a main cause of obesity (肥胖), but normal-weight people can experience the same health problems connected with too much sugar. A 15-year study found that eating high amounts of added sugar doubles the risk of heart disease, even for people who aren't overweight. Added sugar has also been connected with an increased risk for diabetes and even Alzheimer's disease.
And increasingly, the scientific community is realizing the worrying nature of added sugar. Brain scan studies show that fructose (a form of sugar found in fruits) put in packaged foods influences the dopamine system, a messenger center in the brain that controls how we experience pleasure. Eating lots of fructose in packaged foods can create changes in the brain similar to those found in alcohol (酒精) addicts.
The fructose found in packaged foods is taken from corn and sugar cane, and much or all of the fiber (纤维) has been taken away. Without the fiber to slow it down, your body gets a big amount of fructose that can cause health problems. However, not to worry: When you eat a strawberry or other fruits, you are eating fructose in its natural state, and it comes with a lot of fiber, which slows the speed at which sugar enters your blood. Your body can deal with fructose well when it's eaten as fruit.
32. What do we know about Americans from paragraph 1
A. They eat too much added sugar.
B. They are eating more packaged foods.
C. They prefer added sugar to natural sugar.
D. They are adding more sugar to their foods.
33. What did the brain scan studies find out about added sugar
A. It may cause heart disease.
B. It can influence how the brain works.
C. It may be connected with Alzheimer's disease.
D. It can lead to people being unable to stop taking it.
34. What does the author think of eating fructose in fruits
A. It is all right. B. It is harmful.
C. It makes the blood run slowly.
D. It can cause health problems.
35. What does the text mainly discuss
A. Why fructose works best with fiber.
B. How fructose does Americans good.
C. How added sugar can influence your health.
D. Why added sugar can be found in so many kinds of foods.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Volunteering is important as it offers help to worthwhile causes and people in need. And while studies do show that the more you volunteer, the more benefits you'll experience, volunteering doesn't have to involve long-term commitment (投入). 36 So, let's take a closer look at just why volunteering is important.
37 If you're feeling lonely or simply want to widen your social circle, volunteering in your local community is an important way to meet new people. In fact, one of the best ways to make new friends and strengthen existing relationships is to commit to a shared activity together. Volunteering lets you do just that.
Volunteering builds self-confidence. Doing good for others and the community helps to create a natural sense of accomplishment (成就). 38 It helps to improve your self-confidence further by taking you out of your natural comfort zone and environment.
39 For example, if you're a big animal lover you may want to volunteer at a pet shelter (收容所). Volunteering like this helps address a social problem that is meaningful to you and in turn helps to build a sense of purpose. You can try volunteering at any age to help build a sense of purpose, but it's often particularly common in adults. 40
A. Volunteering connects you with others.
B. Volunteering is important for a sense of purpose.
C. Even giving in simple ways can help those in need.
D. And working as a volunteer can also give you a sense of pride.
E. When it comes to volunteering being important for health, the benefits are clear!
F. Whatever your age or life story, volunteering can help give your life new direction!
G. People often choose to give their time to issues which have a special connection to them.

61. be found。考查被动语态。设空处所在部分的主语he与动词find在逻辑上为被动关系,又因空前为can,故填be found。本空后的round表示“医生的巡回出诊或查房”。
62. which。考查关系代词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句,补充说明先行词Beit CURE hospital,并且在从句中作主语,故填关系代词which。本空后的address表示“设法解决,处理”。
63. children。考查可数名词的复数。child意为“儿童”,为可数名词。根据语境可知,此处表示泛指,故填children。
64. it。考查it的用法。设空处作形式主语,真正的主语为下文中that引导的从句,故填it。
65. them。考查代词。设空处作介词for的宾语,用宾格,故填them。
