A
How can kids become heroes Do they have to save the world No. To become a hero, kids just have to think about what others need and find a way to help. Katie Stagliano is one of those hero kids.
Katie loved to garden. When she was 9, she harvested a huge cabbage which weighed 40 pounds. The cabbage was far bigger than what her family needed, so she thought about what to do with it.
She knew that there were lots of hungry people in South California, where she lived. So she decided to donate her enormous cabbage to a soup kitchen. It turned out that her kind donation helped feed more than 275 people.
Then Katie thought about other gardeners who had more vegetables than they could eat. Suddenly, she saw a way to solve both problems. Katie realized that she could help fight against hunger by encouraging kids to plant vegetable gardens and donate their harvest to hungry people. That's how Katie's Krops was born.
Katie says, "My dream is that there are no hungry people." To make that dream come true, Katie got her whole school involved. The students planted a huge garden, but Katie knew she could do more. She contacted an organization called Fields to Families, which sent a master gardener to help.
It's so great to help people," Katie adds, but kids don't have to grow huge cabbages. If they could grow "even one vegetable plant and donate the harvest to a local soup kitchen, we could make a huge difference in the fight against hunger".
It's been several years since Katie Stagliano started work on her dream. Today, more than 60 gardens around the United States are being grown by kids. Young gardeners have donated tens of thousands of pounds of fresh vegetables to stop hunger.
Sadly, many people are still hungry. However, Katie's Krops and hundreds of child gardeners are planting and harvesting to change that.

A. She wanted to be a hero.
B. She wanted to grow a huge cabbage.

When you hear the word “volunteering”, you may think volunteering is to help others, give them money or things. It is true that volunteering can help others, but it can also help you.

Volunteering lets you spend some time doing other things for a while. Then you will happily find you forget all the problems.

Two years ago, Holmes decided to do some voluntary work. He volunteered to work as a barber. He chose to spend Saturday giving free haircuts to poor kids so that they could look cool. But he had a game rule. “The kids receive their free haircuts by reading a book to me,” Holmes said.
The idea was so popular that he continued it the first Tuesday of every month for the last two years. The kids would sit on the chair with a book and read aloud. If they had difficulty reading it, Holmes was there to help them. After the haircut, they would review the book just like in school.
“These kids are excited to learn,” said Holmes. “They want to open their minds.” Holmes, who had two sons aged three and four, believed that not every parent had the time to read with their kids. “I get it. You have four kids and you have two jobs. Sitting down and letting them read to you is the last thing you have time to do. You have to clean the house or cook dinner. So I say bring your kids in and let them read to me.
“There was a seven-year-old boy who tried his best to read his book, stuttering out words even though he didn’t have a stutter,” said Holmes. He let the boy take the book home and practice. “When the child came back a few days later, he read it with no problem. That encourages me.”
Holmes and his family have recently moved from Dubuque to a village in Chicago. When they got settled, he planned to go on with his role as the Storybook Barber. “Nowadays the world is full of violence,” he said. “But it’s safe for the kids to come to the barbershop and read books. They can get help from free reading.”
36. Why did Holmes spend Saturday giving haircuts
A. For some money. B. For making kids read.
C. For selling some books. D. For making friends with kids.
37. For the last two years, it took Holmes ________ to give free haircuts in a year.
A. four days B. six days C. twelve days D. fifty-two days
38. The third paragraph mainly tells us that ________.
A. it is difficult for Holmes to give free haircuts
B. it is necessary for Holmes to give free haircuts
C. parents aren’t clever enough to help their kids
D. parents don’t want to help their kids with their study
39. Why did Holmes let the boy take the book home and practice
A. Because he had difficulty reading it. B. Because he enjoyed reading the book.
C. Because he wanted to read to his mom. D. Because Holmes gave the book to him.
40. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Volunteering B. Cheap Reading C. A Village D. The Storybook Barber
D

第一节、阅读选择（40分）
A
How can kids become heroes Do they have to save the world No. To become a hero, kids just have to think about what others need and find a way to help. Katie Stagliano is one of those hero kids.
Katie loved to garden. When she was 9, she harvested a huge cabbage which weighed 40 pounds. The cabbage was far bigger than what her family needed, so she thought about what to do with it.
She knew that there were lots of hungry people in South California, where she lived. So she decided to donate her enormous cabbage to a soup kitchen. It turned out that her kind donation helped feed more than 275 people.
Then Katie thought about other gardeners who had more vegetables than they could eat. Suddenly, she saw a way to solve both problems. Katie realized that she could help fight against hunger by encouraging kids to plant vegetable gardens and donate their harvest to hungry people. That's how Katie's Krops was born.
Katie says, "My dream is that there are no hungry people." To make that dream come true, Katie got her whole school involved. The students planted a huge garden, but Katie knew she could do more. She contacted an organization called Fields to Families, which sent a master gardener to help.
It's so great to help people," Katie adds, but kids don't have to grow huge cabbages. If they could grow "even one vegetable plant and donate the harvest to a local soup kitchen, we could make a huge difference in the fight against hunger".
It's been several years since Katie Stagliano started work on her dream. Today, more than 60 gardens around the United States are being grown by kids. Young gardeners have donated tens of thousands of pounds of fresh vegetables to stop hunger.
Sadly, many people are still hungry. However, Katie's Krops and hundreds of child gardeners are planting and harvesting to change that.

Two years ago, Holmes decided to do some voluntary work. He volunteered to work as a barber. He chose to spend Saturday giving free haircuts to poor kids so that they could look cool. But he had a game rule. “The kids receive their free haircuts by reading a book to me,” Holmes said.
The idea was so popular that he continued it the first Tuesday of every month for the last two years. The kids would sit on the chair with a book and read aloud. If they had difficulty reading it, Holmes was there to help them. After the haircut, they would review the book just like in school.
“These kids are excited to learn,” said Holmes. “They want to open their minds.” Holmes, who had two sons aged three and four, believed that not every parent had the time to read with their kids. “I get it. You have four kids and you have two jobs. Sitting down and letting them read to you is the last thing you have time to do. You have to clean the house or cook dinner. So I say bring your kids in and let them read to me.
“There was a seven-year-old boy who tried his best to read his book, stuttering out words even though he didn’t have a stutter,” said Holmes. He let the boy take the book home and practice. “When the child came back a few days later, he read it with no problem. That encourages me.”
Holmes and his family have recently moved from Dubuque to a village in Chicago. When they got settled, he planned to go on with his role as the Storybook Barber. “Nowadays the world is full of violence,” he said. “But it’s safe for the kids to come to the barbershop and read books. They can get help from free reading.”
36. Why did Holmes spend Saturday giving haircuts
A. For some money. B. For making kids read.
C. For selling some books. D. For making friends with kids.

A. four days B. six days C. twelve days D. fifty-two days

A. it is difficult for Holmes to give free haircuts
B. it is necessary for Holmes to give free haircuts
C. parents aren’t clever enough to help their kids
D. parents don’t want to help their kids with their study

A. Because he had difficulty reading it. B. Because he enjoyed reading the book.
C. Because he wanted to read to his mom. D. Because Holmes gave the book to him.
