四、阅读理解
I left England for Sydney in September.It was a career move for my husband,and our 20-year-old daughter decided to come,too.However,just before leaving England,my 79-year-old mother suffered a stroke (中风).Being strong and independent,she continued to live at home with the help of social services.But she couldn’t look after the garden.I thought how wonderful it would be if there was an organisation offering volunteer help.Friends asked me what I planned to do in Australia,and I told them I would be looking for a volunteer position with a gardening charitable organisation.Imagine my surprise when I found just the organisation I had been looking for—Easy Care Gardening (ECG)!
There are several reasons why I volunteer for ECG.Firstly,as a newcomer to Australia I meet many people who,like me,volunteer some of their time.We cover a large age range,but all love gardens and helping others.
Secondly,through working with ECG I have been lucky enough to explore Sydney’s North Shore that I might not have had the opportunity to visit otherwise.
Finally,there are all those wonderful people we call “clients”,but they are more like friends when we visit them often and tend their gardens.I find it a privilege to have access to private gardens which,in many cases,have been the joy of their owners for many years.Each one is individual and reflects the character,needs and the history of each family.Indeed,the gardens reflect the multicultural and historical background of Sydney.
1.Why did the author move to Sydney
A.She planned to volunteer there.
B.Her husband would work there.
C.She was very keen on adventures.
D.She had to look after her sick mother.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段的“I left England for Sydney in September.It was a career move for my husband...”可知,作者搬到悉尼是因为她的丈夫将在那里工作。故选B项。
2.What made the author choose to be a gardening volunteer
A.Her own experience.
B.The tips of her friends.
C.The popularity of ECG.
D.Her gardening skills.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段的“But she couldn’t look after the garden.I thought how wonderful it would be if there was an organisation offering volunteer help.Friends asked me what I planned to do in Australia,and I told them I would be looking for a volunteer position with a gardening charitable organisation.”可知,是作者自己的经历使作者选择了园林志愿者的工作。故选A项。
3.What do the volunteers at ECG have in common
A.They make friends with their clients.
B.They like to explore Sydney’s North Shore.
C.They are of similar ages and backgrounds.
D.They are kind-hearted with the same interest.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段的“We cover a large age range,but all love gardens and helping others.”可以推断出,ECG志愿者的共同点是他们有相同的兴趣,并且都是热心肠。故选D项。
4.What does the underlined word “one” in paragraph 4 refer to
A.Client. B.Reason.
C.Garden. D.Joy.
答案:C
解析:词义猜测题。根据下文的“Indeed,the gardens reflect the multicultural and historical background of Sydney.”可知,此处画线单词所在的句子意为“每个花园都是独特的,并且反映了每个家庭的特征、需要和历史”。故选C项。

She didn’t have the answer.So what’s the answer I fired the unhappy people.People usually laugh at this point.I wish I were 4 .I’m not.I have learned that as a manager you cannot make everyone happy.Good 5 requires training,communicating and patience.
Don’t get me wrong.This doesn’t happen a lot.There’s no joy in the 6 of firing someone.And it’s not always the employee’s 7 —there are many bad bosses out there.And not all employees 8 your company.I don’t have a Ph.D.,an MBA,or even an economics degree.What I do have is a 9 company.Now I know some people argue that a business is about making money,and not everyone has to be happy.When you 10 a company,you have the right to 11 yourself with the people you choose.

1.A.showed B.looked

2.A.nicely B.firmly
C.strictly D.seriously
答案:A
解析:根据句中的she noted that my employees seemed happy可知,员工们看起来很幸福,所以侄女推测“我”这个老板对员工们很好。nicely“很好地;和善地”。
3.A.which B.that
C.what D.who
答案:C
