( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
Most of us ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) know about the Nobel Prize, especially the Nobel Peace Prize, but few of us know anything about the man who set it up. His name was Alfred Nobel. He was a great scientist and inventor himself. Besides, he had a big business. His business may surprise you. He made and sold explosives(炸药). His companies even made and sold weapons(武器). Isn’t this something that surprises you The man who made money from weapons should set up the Nobel Peace Prize
Though Alfred Nobel ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d a lot of money from weapons, he hated war. He hoped that there would be no war in the world. He was one of the richest in Europe.

He wanted the interest(利息) from the fund to be used as prizes every year. We know them as the Nobel Prizes. The Nobel Prizes are international. Alfred Nobel wanted the winners to be chosen for their work, not the country they came from.

When I worke ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d in a large city, passing by someone who was homeless wasn’t an uncommon sight. The difficult situation of those I saw touched me deeply.
I felt I must do so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mething, and, as a single mother, I decided to come up with a plan that fitted my limited budget. I began by setting aside five to ten dollars and passing them on to those I met on the street each week.
Though a dolla ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r felt like a small amount, I realized how powerful it was. For me, I recognized that those I passed by were people just like me. Sometimes we would joke a bit and smile together. On some occasions, I was able to give more. I don’t know how and if the dollars helped, but I know that the connections we made did.
One day after I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) had started this weekly practice, I had saved up enough to buy myself a new winter coat. With it around my shoulders, I realized that my old coat could still be put to use by someone who had little or nothing to protect them from the cold. However, at that moment, I felt inspired to pass on this opportunity for kindness. I turned to the salesman who had helped me, and asked if he would feel comfortable taking my old coat, walking to the corner, and offering it to someone in need. Slightly taken aback, he smiled. “I will as soon as I get a break,” he said, “Thanks for being so considerate.”
I can’t help ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) but feel that my experiences with kindness have moved me to pass it on, and in this way, I feel I’ve helped more than just those I pass by on the street. Kindness touches many hearts, and I am grateful for the way it has touched mine.

C
Every experience that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) American businesswoman Leigh-Ann Buchanan remembers has come from travel. Her early trips to the countries in Asia, Africa and the Americas were no small thing—they assisted her to make connections with community organizations abroad, build leadership skills and find a greater purpose in her voluntary work. All of these experiences played an important part in her becoming a mentor (导师) to high school students in Miami, US.
She saw that ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ny of her students from underserved communities had never left the country. This not only shut them out from having life-changing experiences, but they often missed out on college scholarships (奖学金) because their resumes (简历) couldn’t compete with those from higher-income backgrounds.21·cn·jy·com
Then she saw a progra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m founded by her friend in Ghana. It offered US students the opportunity to experience cultural exchanges abroad. Buchanan wondered why the kids she mentored in Miami couldn’t have these life-changing experiences. So, she started the Nyah Project in 2014.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Since then, the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )project has provided money for 10-day leadership trips to 57 high-performing high school students throughout underserved communities in Miami. All 57 have gotten into colleges around the country, and over 90 percent have received full scholarships to college. Nyah fellows have traveled to countries including Indonesia, Namibia, Costa Rica and South Africa.
The trips br ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing cultural exchange opportunities, like learning about traditional Balinese dance in Indonesia and teaching younger students in Namibia. Kemoni Alexander, who is studying at Ohio Wesleyan University, was a Nyah fellow in 2017, and traveled to Namibia and South Africa for her first time out of the country.
“The neighborhood that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I grew up in wasn’t the most resourceful and my schools were short of money,” said Alexander. “I could hardly believe that I was able to have that opportunity because other people saw that potential (潜力) in me and believed in me.”
18.What does the underlined word “assisted” in Paragraph 1 mean
A.Required. B.Helped.
C.Trained. D.Reminded.
2.Why did Buchanan set up the Nyah Project
A.To offer students scholarships.
B.To share her travel experiences.
C.To support her friend’s program.
D.To provide chances for poor children.
3.How do the children benefit from the Nyah Project 2-1-c-n-j-y
A.They are sure to be mentors in the future.
B.They can enjoy traveling worldwide for free.
C.They can experience cultural exchanges on trips.
D.They can all receive full scholarships to college.
4.What can we infer from Alexander’s words
A.She was thankful for the opportunity.
B.She was more confident of her ability.
C.She regretted having joined the project.
D.She felt embarrassed about her background.

In most situations, t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he responses of bystanders (旁观者) like negative body language, uninvited comments or pieces of advice on a child's angry behavior can add to the stress of the situation. But sometimes bystanders' understanding, and sometimes their words or actions can make a positive difference. One mom experienced this first-hand.21*cnjy*com
This mom was obviousl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y pregnant and traveling alone with her young son at the Los Angeles International Airport. Then things took a turn for the worse.
The boy, about ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )18 months old, according to Beth, a Facebook user, was running all over the place, kicking, screaming, and lying on the floor, unwilling to get aboard the plane. His mom did her best to calm him down, but Beth said, “She couldn't pick him up because he was so upset. He kept running away from her, then lying down on the ground, kicking and screaming again.” Finally, the mom was at her wits' end. She sat down on the floor next to her son, buried her face in her hands, and began to cry.
Then the most amazing thing happened.
A group of six ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or seven women, Beth included, circled around the mother and son and did something to help. Beth sang him the “Itsy Bitsy Spider”. Another offered an orange. Another gave him a toy she had on hand. Another helped get his cup out of Mom's bag. Yet another tended to Mom by offering her a water bottle. With the help of these women, the kid and his mother calmed down and were able to board the plane.21·世纪*教育网
And then life moved on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ). All of the strangers went their separate ways without speaking of what had happened. But Beth said it was something she'd never forget. “We were strangers, gathering to solve something,” she wrote. “It occurred to me that a circle of passers-by, with a mission, can save the world.”
1.What are the bysta ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nders supposed to do according to the first paragraph
A.Laugh at the parents.
B.Give parents some advice.
C.Comment on the situation.
D.Be kind and offer assistance.
2.What does the underlined part “was at her wits' end” probably mean 21*cnjy*com
A.Made up her mind.
B.Felt worried and totally at a loss.
C.Gave up and ran away.
D.Collected her thoughts and calmed down.
3.Which of the following can best describe the scene in Paragraph 5 21世纪教育网版权所有
A.Alarming. B.Exciting. C.Romantic. D.Warm.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Strangers can help out B.Beth, a great mom
C.Women can save the world D.Let's care for children
六、完形填空(本题共15小题，每小题1分，共15分)

I received a letter fr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )om a woman who lives in New York. She mentioned that her 22 year old electrician son Joe went to Manhattan a few days after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack. He wanted to __1__ his services, but discovered that his __2__ were not needed.

七、阅读表达。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
Most of us l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ong for relationship in which we are loved and accepted. However, before having wonderful relationships with others, we first should have them with ourselves. Strangely, this is often the hardest relationship of all. Here are three ways of gaining better personal understanding of deeper love. 【出处：21教育名师】
Listen closely to your thoughts.
Your thoughts ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )will determine your actions. One thing that will help you to listen to your thoughts is keeping a journal. It helps to record the understanding you gain as you go about your life. It is not necessary for you to write in it every day. You might use a small notebook in your pocket to record your thoughts as they occur to you. 21教育名师原创作品
Be honest with yourself.
Actions speak louder ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )than words. If you say you love your job, but your actions say otherwise, which do you think is more reliable(可信赖的)—your words or your actions On the other hand, if you say you’re not good at a certain job, but your actions say otherwise, that’s also important. What do you do with this insight You can use it to make positive choices in your life. Remember you are judged by what you do, not by what you say. 2·1·c·n·j·y
Take quiet time to listen to the voice inside you.
This is simil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ar to the first point, but it takes a step further. You may want to use your quiet time to think deeply. However you use this time, the key is to shut out all of the noise around you by focusing deep within yourself. Breathing deeply during quiet time will also help you focus. Quiet time can really make a difference to your life.
1.What’s the main idea of the text (no more than 10 words)
2.What does the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )writer think is the hardest relationship of all (no more than 5 words)
3.What’s the meaning o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f the underlined word “journal” in paragraph 2 (1 word)
4.How are we judged ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )according to the third paragraph (no more than 10 words)

When I wor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ked in a large city, passing by someone who was homeless wasn’t an uncommon sight. The difficult situation of those I saw touched me deeply.2-1-c-n-j-y
I felt I must do ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )something, and, as a single mother, I decided to come up with a plan that fitted my limited budget. I began by setting aside five to ten dollars and passing them on to those I met on the street each week.
Though a dollar f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )elt like a small amount, I realized how powerful it was. For me, I recognized that those I passed by were people just like me. Sometimes we would joke a bit and smile together. On some occasions, I was able to give more. I don’t know how and if the dollars helped, but I know that the connections we made did.
One day after I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )had started this weekly practice, I had saved up enough to buy myself a new winter coat. With it around my shoulders, I realized that my old coat could still be put to use by someone who had little or nothing to protect them from the cold. However, at that moment, I felt inspired to pass on this opportunity for kindness. I turned to the salesman who had helped me, and asked if he would feel comfortable taking my old coat, walking to the corner, and offering it to someone in need. Slightly taken aback, he smiled. “I will as soon as I get a break,” he said, “Thanks for being so considerate.” 21*cnjy*com
I can’t help ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )but feel that my experiences with kindness have moved me to pass it on, and in this way, I feel I’ve helped more than just those I pass by on the street. Kindness touches many hearts, and I am grateful for the way it has touched mine.

Every experience tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t American businesswoman Leigh-Ann Buchanan remembers has come from travel. Her early trips to the countries in Asia, Africa and the Americas were no small thing—they assisted her to make connections with community organizations abroad, build leadership skills and find a greater purpose in her voluntary work. All of these experiences played an important part in her becoming a mentor (导师) to high school students in Miami, US.
She saw that ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ny of her students from underserved communities had never left the country. This not only shut them out from having life-changing experiences, but they often missed out on college scholarships (奖学金) because their resumes (简历) couldn’t compete with those from higher-income backgrounds.
Then she saw a progra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m founded by her friend in Ghana. It offered US students the opportunity to experience cultural exchanges abroad. Buchanan wondered why the kids she mentored in Miami couldn’t have these life-changing experiences. So, she started the Nyah Project in 2014.
Since then, the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )project has provided money for 10-day leadership trips to 57 high-performing high school students throughout underserved communities in Miami. All 57 have gotten into colleges around the country, and over 90 percent have received full scholarships to college. Nyah fellows have traveled to countries including Indonesia, Namibia, Costa Rica and South Africa.
The trips bring ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cultural exchange opportunities, like learning about traditional Balinese dance in Indonesia and teaching younger students in Namibia. Kemoni Alexander, who is studying at Ohio Wesleyan University, was a Nyah fellow in 2017, and traveled to Namibia and South Africa for her first time out of the country.
“The neighborhoo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d that I grew up in wasn’t the most resourceful and my schools were short of money,” said Alexander. “I could hardly believe that I was able to have that opportunity because other people saw that potential (潜力) in me and believed in me.”
18.What does the underlined word “assisted” in Paragraph 1 mean
A.Required. B.Helped.
C.Trained. D.Reminded.
2.Why did Buchanan set up the Nyah Project
A.To offer students scholarships.
B.To share her travel experiences.
C.To support her friend’s program.
D.To provide chances for poor children.
3.How do the children benefit from the Nyah Project
A.They are sure to be mentors in the future.
B.They can enjoy traveling worldwide for free.
C.They can experience cultural exchanges on trips.
D.They can all receive full scholarships to college.
4.What can we infer from Alexander’s words
A.She was thankful for the opportunity.
B.She was more confident of her ability.
C.She regretted having joined the project.
D.She felt embarrassed about her background.

In most situati ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ons, the responses of bystanders (旁观者) like negative body language, uninvited comments or pieces of advice on a child's angry behavior can add to the stress of the situation. But sometimes bystanders' understanding, and sometimes their words or actions can make a positive difference. One mom experienced this first-hand.21世纪教育网版权所有
This mom was obvio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )usly pregnant and traveling alone with her young son at the Los Angeles International Airport. Then things took a turn for the worse.
The boy, about 18 mont ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hs old, according to Beth, a Facebook user, was running all over the place, kicking, screaming, and lying on the floor, unwilling to get aboard the plane. His mom did her best to calm him down, but Beth said, “She couldn't pick him up because he was so upset. He kept running away from her, then lying down on the ground, kicking and screaming again.” Finally, the mom was at her wits' end. She sat down on the floor next to her son, buried her face in her hands, and began to cry.
Then the most amazing thing happened.
A group of six ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) or seven women, Beth included, circled around the mother and son and did something to help. Beth sang him the “Itsy Bitsy Spider”. Another offered an orange. Another gave him a toy she had on hand. Another helped get his cup out of Mom's bag. Yet another tended to Mom by offering her a water bottle. With the help of these women, the kid and his mother calmed down and were able to board the plane.
And then life mov ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed on. All of the strangers went their separate ways without speaking of what had happened. But Beth said it was something she'd never forget. “We were strangers, gathering to solve something,” she wrote. “It occurred to me that a circle of passers-by, with a mission, can save the world.”
1.What are th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e bystanders supposed to do according to the first paragraph
A.Laugh at the parents.
B.Give parents some advice.
C.Comment on the situation.
D.Be kind and offer assistance.
2.What does the underlined part “was at her wits' end” probably mean
A.Made up her mind.
B.Felt worried and totally at a loss.
C.Gave up and ran away.
D.Collected her thoughts and calmed down.
3.Which of the following can best describe the scene in Paragraph 5
A.Alarming. B.Exciting. C.Romantic. D.Warm.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Strangers can help out B.Beth, a great mom
C.Women can save the world D.Let's care for children

2.B 词义猜测题。根据后文S ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he sat down on the floor next to her son, buried her face in her hands, and began to cry.可知妈妈不知该如何是好。由此推知,画线部分与Felt worried and totally at a loss.(感到担心和完全不知所措)意思接近。A项“Made up her mind.(下定决心)”、C项“Gave up and ran away.(放弃并逃跑)”和D项“Collected her thoughts and calmed down.(整理思绪平静下来)”均不符合语境。
3.D 推理判断题。根据文章第五段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )可知,本段所描述的是几位路过的女性给这位无助的母亲提供热心帮助,这个场景很温暖(warm)。故选D。alarming使人惊恐的;exciting令人兴奋的;romantic浪漫的。
4.A 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中的Bu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t sometimes bystanders' understanding, and sometimes their words or actions can make a positive difference. One mom experienced this first-hand.和最后一段中的“We were strangers, gathering to solve something,” she wrote. “It occurred to me that a circle of passers-by, with a mission, can save the world.”可知,本篇文章重点讲的是路人可以为处于困境的人带来善意和力所能及的帮助。由此可知,Strangers can help out(陌生人可以帮忙摆脱困境)适合作为本文标题。

七、阅读表达。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
Most of us lon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g for relationship in which we are loved and accepted. However, before having wonderful relationships with others, we first should have them with ourselves. Strangely, this is often the hardest relationship of all. Here are three ways of gaining better personal understanding of deeper love.
Listen closely to your thoughts.
Your thoughts will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) determine your actions. One thing that will help you to listen to your thoughts is keeping a journal. It helps to record the understanding you gain as you go about your life. It is not necessary for you to write in it every day. You might use a small notebook in your pocket to record your thoughts as they occur to you.
Be honest with yourself.
Actions speak l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ouder than words. If you say you love your job, but your actions say otherwise, which do you think is more reliable(可信赖的)—your words or your actions On the other hand, if you say you’re not good at a certain job, but your actions say otherwise, that’s also important. What do you do with this insight You can use it to make positive choices in your life. Remember you are judged by what you do, not by what you say.
Take quiet time to listen to the voice inside you.
This is similar to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the first point, but it takes a step further. You may want to use your quiet time to think deeply. However you use this time, the key is to shut out all of the noise around you by focusing deep within yourself. Breathing deeply during quiet time will also help you focus. Quiet time can really make a difference to your life.
1.What’s the main idea of the text (no more than 10 words)
2.What does ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the writer think is the hardest relationship of all (no more than 5 words)
3.What’s the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) meaning of the underlined word “journal” in paragraph 2 (1 word)
4.How are we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )judged according to the third paragraph (no more than 10 words)
5.Which of t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he three ways is the most suitable for you Why (no more than 25 words)
1.How to gain better personal understanding of deeper love.
2.Relationships with ourselves.
3.Diary.
4.By what we do.
5.The second ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )one. Because we know actions speak louder than words. We are judged by what we do, not by what we say.
Or: The third one is t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he most suitable way, because I can focus on my real thoughts during quiet time.
