It was challenging for me to organize a big fundraiser for a non-profit organization Hope. Having been involved in voluntary work for many years and running several small fundraisers, I came up with an idea to create an event that would bring my friends and family together and would educate everyone about the meaning of what I had been doing.
I wanted to hold the event at a local venue （举办地点）so I fell back on a friend, Jill, whose husband Sal owns an amazing Italian restaurant. When I asked if they'd be willing to host my fundraising event, they replied with a flat yes.
To raise additional funds, Jill and I went to local businesses asking for donations. I was amazed at how generous my community was and we got great donations.
After months of planning, I was so happy to see a full room the day of the event. While everyone was enjoying Sal's delicious food, I gave a small speech about Hope. Many of my friends and family hadn't known of the hardships that children born with a cleft （唇裂）must bear or of the life-changing impact a Hope-supported surgery （外科手术）can have on their lives. By the end of the speech, I saw that people were really moved and did all they could to raise as much money as possible. The event eventually raised an incredible $14, 600.
The event taught me that it's not difficult to throw a successful fundraising event; it just takes a lot of work! However, my family, friends, and community were there to support me every step of the way. It's amazing that one small idea could turn into something with an incredible impact. How beautiful!

Recently, a company called SkyDrive gave a test of its new flying car, the SD-03. The small car flew at an altitude of around 6 feet around up to four minutes. The SD-03 is powered by batteries and has 8 motors, which lift it straight off the ground. Since flying cars don't use runways, they need to be able to take off and land by going straight up or down. Its breakthrough was that a pilot was on board. Tomohiro Fukuzawa, who leads SkyDrive, said, "Of the world's more than 100 flying car projects, only a handful has succeeded with a person on board. , ,
The world's leading companies are investing（投资）heavily to work on more advanced flying cars of their own. That includes airplane makers like Airbus and Boeing, car makers like Toyota, Hyundai, and Porsche, and ride services like Uber. Some governments, including Japan's, are supporting the idea, hoping that in the future, flying cars will be useful for short trips like taxi rides in cities. Flying cars could also save time in emergencies, and help reach some places that can't be reached by road.
However, controlling a flying car is so complex that most people won't be able to do it. Even SkyDrive's test flight was kept stable by an automatic（自 动的）computer system, and a backup team stood ready to control the car from the ground. Besides, safety is a major problem. What happens when a motor fails That's a reason why the SD-03 has eight motors-as backups. All realities have led many companies to take a wait-and-see approach to developing flying cars. But people who believe in flying cars point out that cars and airplanes faced lots of challenges at first, too and that with time, many of the big problems were settled eventually.
Mr. Fukuzawa wants SkyDrive to be able to fly two passengers on trips of up to 3 miles by 2023. By 2050, he hopes people will be able to fly anywhere inside Tokyo in just 10 minutes. ''I think flying cars will become normal in the near future, '' he says.
28. What made the SD-03's test flight by SkyDrive special
A. It was the first manned flying car. B. It landed without using a runway.
C. It flew much longer than expected. D. It was powered by batteries.
29. What are the famous companies like Airbus doing about the flying car
A. Uniting to design it together. B. Developing it independently.
C. Promoting it all over the world. D. Persuading governments to invest it.
30. Which aspects does Paragraph 3 mainly discuss about developing the flying car
A. The designs. B. Future development.
C. Different comments. D. The challenges.
31. What can we learn according to Mr. Fukuzawa
A. He doesn't think the flying cars will be promoted.
B. The flying cars will be able to fly two passengers by 2023.
C. He is optimistic about the use of the flying cars in the future.
D. He isn't certain about the future of the flying cars.
D
Your guardian angel might have four legs and a rocking tail.
A new study from two researchers at Arizona State University found, like the hero dogs of film and TV, your real-life one likely wants to rescue you when you're in trouble, reports AFP.
" It's a popular legend（传说）, " explained researcher Joshua van Bourg. " Simply observing dogs rescuing someone doesn't tell you much. The difficult challenge is figuring out why they do it.
To test if and why dogs want to save their humans, Joshua van Bourg and his partner, Clive Wynne, took 60 dogs and their owners and set up artificial rescue scene. For the study, the owner was put in a large box that had a lightweight door that the owner's dog could move to one side to " save" them. Once in the box, the human would pretend to be in trouble, calling out for help without using their dog's name. The second part of the test involved researchers placing dog food in a box and watching to see how many of the same 60 dogs moved to open the box to get the reward.
Looking at the two tests, the researchers found that about one-third of the dogs successfully rescued their owners and that around the same number also opened the box with the food. The study suggests that these responses could signal that dogs find rescuing their loved ones to be a rewarding task, much like nosing out and finding food. According to Joshua van Bourg, a dog's natural heroism becomes even more impressive when you take "a closer look'* at the study's results.
"The key here is that without controlling for each dog's understanding of how to open the box, the percentage of dogs who rescued their owners is much more lower than the percentage of dogs who wanted to rescue their owners/' Joshua van Bourg said.
"The fact that two-thirds of the dogs didn't even open the box for food shows that rescuing requires more than just motivation（动机）, there's something else involved, and that’s the ability. " he added.
32. What do the researchers focus on in the studies
A. The number of dogs smelling dog food.
B. The way of dogs opening the light door.
C. The reason for dogs rescuing their owners.
D. The willingness of dogs to enter the rescue scene.
33. What do the researchers find from their study
A. Twenty dogs are brave enough to rescue humans.
B. Forty dogs help humans and open the boxes for food.
C. Owners are saved without calling their dogs name.
D. Dogs consider rescuing owners as a rewarding task.
34. What is Joshua van Bourg's attitude towards the phenomenon （现象）of dogs that rescued their owners
A. Doubtful. B. Objective C. Negative. D. Pessimistic.
35. What does probably the text continue to tell
A. Teaching dogs how to rescue humans.
B. Reminding people of being kind to dogs.
C. Advocating people to raise more dogs as pets.
D. Testing dogs what to do while rescuing owners.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 共10分）
根据短文内容, 从短文后的七个选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。
Why Do People Volunteer
For someone who doesn't do it, trying to understand why people volunteer can be difficult.
36 _______ But there are several motives that can be used to explain this.
Whenever there have been wars, there have been those who made the decision to join the battle. 37 ___________ It's not that they're unaware of the dangers, but it's something they're willing to go through.
38___________ An example would be those that join environmental groups. These involve a lot of work, from cleaning out rubbish to taking care of endangered animals. While some view these as thankless tasks, these people are thinking of the future. What they're doing is to preserve the present so there will be a future.
Simple kindness is another factor as to why people volunteer. 39_________ We see them helping total strangers who become trapped when earthquakes or hurricanes happen. For most, it's simply a matter of doing the right thing.
An individual who becomes financially successful might feel the need to give some of the fortune back. Helping out is one way to do it. For these people, it's not just another way to earn more money. 40_________ When asked why people volunteer, gratitude and giving back may be the answer.
A. For some, it’s all about the future.
B. It helps people learn more about themselves.
C. It is their way of expressing thanks to others.
D. This becomes even more so when the task is dangerous.
E. Some feel that volunteering is a way for them to grow emotionally.
F. When disaster happens, some people offer their services to help others.
G. For these individuals, it's all about fighting for what they believe is right.

作文
Dear Dave,
As we all know the ocean and we are a whole. To raise our awareness of protecting the ocean and help us have a better understanding of ocean protection, our school held a voluntary activity themed "how to protect the ocean" last week. The detailed Information is as follows.
The activity organized by the Students Union was held in the park near our school on the Sunday afternoon, lasting from 3:00 pm-5:00 pm. Although it was hot, all the participants made full preparations and took an active part in the activity, during which we handed out the brochures to the strangers and called on people to reduce the ocean pollution, for which many fishes are dying out or become endangered , which has a bad influence on the marine ecosystem. We also hoped that they would protect the seashore and take away the rubbish after staying or playing on the beach.
It's such a meaningful activity that all the students are looking forward to the next one. I hope you can take part in the activity next time.
Yours,
Li Hua

It was challenging for me to organize a big fundraiser for a non-profit organization Hope. Having been involved in voluntary work for many years and running several small fundraisers, I came up with an idea to create an event that would bring my friends and family together and would educate everyone about the meaning of what I had been doing.
I wanted to hold the event at a local venue （举办地点）so I fell back on a friend, Jill, whose husband Sal owns an amazing Italian restaurant. When I asked if they'd be willing to host my fundraising event, they replied with a flat yes.
To raise additional funds, Jill and I went to local businesses asking for donations. I was amazed at how generous my community was and we got great donations.
After months of planning, I was so happy to see a full room the day of the event. While everyone was enjoying Sal's delicious food, I gave a small speech about Hope. Many of my friends and family hadn't known of the hardships that children born with a cleft （唇裂）must bear or of the life-changing impact a Hope-supported surgery （外科手术）can have on their lives. By the end of the speech, I saw that people were really moved and did all they could to raise as much money as possible. The event eventually raised an incredible $14, 600.
The event taught me that it's not difficult to throw a successful fundraising event; it just takes a lot of work! However, my family, friends, and community were there to support me every step of the way. It's amazing that one small idea could turn into something with an incredible impact. How beautiful!

Recently, a company called SkyDrive gave a test of its new flying car, the SD-03. The small car flew at an altitude of around 6 feet around up to four minutes. The SD-03 is powered by batteries and has 8 motors, which lift it straight off the ground. Since flying cars don't use runways, they need to be able to take off and land by going straight up or down. Its breakthrough was that a pilot was on board. Tomohiro Fukuzawa, who leads SkyDrive, said, "Of the world's more than 100 flying car projects, only a handful has succeeded with a person on board. , ,
The world's leading companies are investing（投资）heavily to work on more advanced flying cars of their own. That includes airplane makers like Airbus and Boeing, car makers like Toyota, Hyundai, and Porsche, and ride services like Uber. Some governments, including Japan's, are supporting the idea, hoping that in the future, flying cars will be useful for short trips like taxi rides in cities. Flying cars could also save time in emergencies, and help reach some places that can't be reached by road.
However, controlling a flying car is so complex that most people won't be able to do it. Even SkyDrive's test flight was kept stable by an automatic（自 动的）computer system, and a backup team stood ready to control the car from the ground. Besides, safety is a major problem. What happens when a motor fails That's a reason why the SD-03 has eight motors-as backups. All realities have led many companies to take a wait-and-see approach to developing flying cars. But people who believe in flying cars point out that cars and airplanes faced lots of challenges at first, too and that with time, many of the big problems were settled eventually.
Mr. Fukuzawa wants SkyDrive to be able to fly two passengers on trips of up to 3 miles by 2023. By 2050, he hopes people will be able to fly anywhere inside Tokyo in just 10 minutes. ''I think flying cars will become normal in the near future, '' he says.
28. What made the SD-03's test flight by SkyDrive special
A. It was the first manned flying car. B. It landed without using a runway.
C. It flew much longer than expected. D. It was powered by batteries.
29. What are the famous companies like Airbus doing about the flying car
A. Uniting to design it together. B. Developing it independently.
C. Promoting it all over the world. D. Persuading governments to invest it.
30. Which aspects does Paragraph 3 mainly discuss about developing the flying car
A. The designs. B. Future development.
C. Different comments. D. The challenges.
31. What can we learn according to Mr. Fukuzawa
A. He doesn't think the flying cars will be promoted.
B. The flying cars will be able to fly two passengers by 2023.
C. He is optimistic about the use of the flying cars in the future.
D. He isn't certain about the future of the flying cars.

Your guardian angel might have four legs and a rocking tail.
A new study from two researchers at Arizona State University found, like the hero dogs of film and TV, your real-life one likely wants to rescue you when you're in trouble, reports AFP.
" It's a popular legend（传说）, " explained researcher Joshua van Bourg. " Simply observing dogs rescuing someone doesn't tell you much. The difficult challenge is figuring out why they do it.
To test if and why dogs want to save their humans, Joshua van Bourg and his partner, Clive Wynne, took 60 dogs and their owners and set up artificial rescue scene. For the study, the owner was put in a large box that had a lightweight door that the owner's dog could move to one side to " save" them. Once in the box, the human would pretend to be in trouble, calling out for help without using their dog's name. The second part of the test involved researchers placing dog food in a box and watching to see how many of the same 60 dogs moved to open the box to get the reward.
Looking at the two tests, the researchers found that about one-third of the dogs successfully rescued their owners and that around the same number also opened the box with the food. The study suggests that these responses could signal that dogs find rescuing their loved ones to be a rewarding task, much like nosing out and finding food. According to Joshua van Bourg, a dog's natural heroism becomes even more impressive when you take "a closer look'* at the study's results.
"The key here is that without controlling for each dog's understanding of how to open the box, the percentage of dogs who rescued their owners is much more lower than the percentage of dogs who wanted to rescue their owners/' Joshua van Bourg said.
"The fact that two-thirds of the dogs didn't even open the box for food shows that rescuing requires more than just motivation（动机）, there's something else involved, and that’s the ability. " he added.
32. What do the researchers focus on in the studies
A. The number of dogs smelling dog food.
B. The way of dogs opening the light door.
C. The reason for dogs rescuing their owners.
D. The willingness of dogs to enter the rescue scene.
33. What do the researchers find from their study
A. Twenty dogs are brave enough to rescue humans.
B. Forty dogs help humans and open the boxes for food.
C. Owners are saved without calling their dogs name.
D. Dogs consider rescuing owners as a rewarding task.
34. What is Joshua van Bourg's attitude towards the phenomenon （现象）of dogs that rescued their owners
A. Doubtful. B. Objective C. Negative. D. Pessimistic.
35. What does probably the text continue to tell
A. Teaching dogs how to rescue humans.
B. Reminding people of being kind to dogs.
C. Advocating people to raise more dogs as pets.
D. Testing dogs what to do while rescuing owners.

Why Do People Volunteer

作文
Dear Dave,
As we all know the ocean and we are a whole. To raise our awareness of protecting the ocean and help us have a better understanding of ocean protection, our school held a voluntary activity themed "how to protect the ocean" last week. The detailed Information is as follows.
The activity organized by the Students Union was held in the park near our school on the Sunday afternoon, lasting from 3:00 pm-5:00 pm. Although it was hot, all the participants made full preparations and took an active part in the activity, during which we handed out the brochures to the strangers and called on people to reduce the ocean pollution, for which many fishes are dying out or become endangered , which has a bad influence on the marine ecosystem. We also hoped that they would protect the seashore and take away the rubbish after staying or playing on the beach.
It's such a meaningful activity that all the students are looking forward to the next one. I hope you can take part in the activity next time.
Yours,
Li Hua
