Unit 2 A卷 基础夯实
一、阅读理解
1. Born in a fishing village in Japan, Fujiyama, 25, recalls a childhood controlled by health concerns. Debtors told his parents that he had a hole in his heart and "they didn't think I had a lot longer to live". But during a later visit to the doctor, his family learned the hole had closed. "Somehow I was cured and I became a normal kid," Fujiyama says. "And I had a second chance."
During his second year at the University of Mary Washington, he volunteered in Honduras with a campus group and was struck by the extreme poverty he saw—barefoot children collecting cans and sleeping in the streets. Fujiyama realised he could help give other children their own second chance.
Today, his organisation, Students Helping Honduras, brings education and community projects to children and families in need.
He started by telling his friends about his experience and collecting spare change at his two campus jobs. "When I had my very first meeting, only two people showed up," he says. "I knew I had to keep fighting." He persuaded his younger sister, Cosmo, to join the cause. "She's dynamite," he says. "When she talks in front of a crowd, she can move mountains. Knowing that she was behind it, I knew I could do anything." Since 2006, the siblings' organisation has grown to 25 campuses and raised more than $ 750,000 to fund projects, including the construction of two schools and the establishment of scholarships to help young women attend college.
Fujiyama says students are deeply committed to the organisation. They raise money and then travel to Honduras to help building houses. While Fujiyama spends his summers in Honduras working alongside volunteers, he spends a large portion of the year on the road visiting colleges to raise funds. Cosmo Fujiyama, 23, lives in Honduras full time to coordinate(协调) the group's building efforts on the ground.
Students Helping Honduras is working with community members of Siete de Abril to build a new village. Many of the families lost their belongings in Hurricane Mitch in 1998. A lot of them didn't have access to clean water or health care, and they didn't have a school. Fujiyama's group helped build 44 homes in the village named "Sunshine Village". The organisation is also raising funds to build a water tower, an eco-friendly sanitation system and a library.
1.At the beginning of his organisation, ________.
A.Fujiyama was supported by many friends B.Fujiyama had little idea of Honduras
C.things didn't go on smoothly D.many famous people joined in
2.We can infer that Fujiyama is a __________ man.
A.diligent B.mean C.cheerful D.sympathetic
3.The underlined word "siblings" can be replaced by ________.
A.brother and sister's B.brothers' C.friends' D.couple's
4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A.Help the People in Need
B.Students Lend a Hand in America
C.Fujiyama Helps Build "Sunshine Village"
D.Fujiyama Gives Poor People in Honduras a Second Chance
2. During the rosy years of elementary school(小学), I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which allowed me to keep my high social status. I was the queen of the playground. Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cool kids. They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself.
Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The likables' plays-well-with-others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever after in life and work. Then there's the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status bora of power and even dishonorable behavior.
Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinstein's studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who were highest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school, are "most likely to engage(从事) in dangerous and risky behavior."
In one study, Dr. Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked and the highest in status based on student surveys(调查研究). "We found that the least well-liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us."
Dr. Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play date—sharing, kindness, openness—carry over to later years and make you better able to relate and connect with others.
In analyzing his and other research, Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is likability related to positive life outcomes, but it is also responsible for those outcomes, too. "Being liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain an advantage," he said.
1. What sort of girl was the author in her early years of elementary school
A. Unkind. B. Lonely. C. Generous. D. Cool.
2. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The classification of the popular.
B. The characteristics of adolescents.
C. The importance of interpersonal skills.
D. The causes of dishonorable behavior.
3. What did Dr. Prinstein's study find about the most liked kids
A. They appeared to be aggressive.
B. They tended to be more adaptable.
C. They enjoyed the highest status.
D. They performed well academically.
4. What is the best title for the text
A. Be Nice—You Won't Finish Last
B. The Higher the Status, the Better
C. Be the Best—You Can Make It
D. More Self-Control, Less Aggressiveness
3. Money with no strings attached. It's not something you see every day. But at Union Station in Los Angeles last month, a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read, "Give What You Can, Take What You Need. "
People quickly caught on. And while many took dollars, many others pinned their own cash to the board. "People of all ages, races, and socioeconomic(社会经济的) backgrounds gave and took, " said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox, which created the project. "We even had a bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars." Most of the bills on the board were singles, but a few people left fives, tens and even twenties. The video clip(片段) shows one man who had found a $ 20 bill pinning it to the board.
"What I can say for the folks that gave the most, is that they were full of smiles," Bridges said. "There's a certain feeling that giving can do for you and that was apparent in those that gave the most." Most people who took dollars took only a few, but Bridges said a very small number took as much as they could.
While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign, Bridges said the only goal was to show generosity and sympathy. He added that he hopes people in other cities might try similar projects and post their own videos on the Internet.
"After all,everyone has bad days and good days," he said. "Some days you need a helping hand and some days you can be the one giving the helping hand."
1.What does the expression "money with no strings attached" in Paragraph 1 mean
A.Money spent without hesitation. B.Money not legally made.
C.Money offered without conditions. D.Money not tied together.
2.What did Bridges want to show by mentioning the bride
A.Women tended to be more sociable. B.The activity attracted various people.
C.Economic problems were getting worse. D.Young couples needed financial assistance.
3.Why did Bridges carry out the project
A.To do a test on people's morals. B.To raise money for his company.
C.To earn himself a good reputation. D.To promote kindness and sympathy.
4. Mathilda, 15, is Turkana, a native people that has survived by raising cattle in a semiarid(半干旱) region. Mathilda's school, like most schools in the area, doesn't have access to clean water and sanitation facilities for its students. So instead of spending their whole school day learning, Mathilda and her classmates start their day by spending two hours to the closest river fetching water—water that is anyway most likely not safe to drink. They do the same thing again in the afternoon, so they often lose around half of their school day fetching water.
Mathilda has to do the same thing outside of school hours to get the water her family needs at home, leaving her little time for studying. Because of rising temperatures, water has become harder and harder to find here, and people have to spend more and more time trying to find it.
This is just one small example of how climate change is making it harder to realise people's rights to water, education and security. Unfortunately, most higher-income countries remained silent on the issue.
This shows that communities already facing marginalisation(边缘化), such as women and children, mostly suffer from climate change. This is especially the case for those in countries with limited resources and fragile ecosystems.
Meanwhile, women consist of the majority of the world's poor, and so are more dependent for their livelihood on natural resources that are threatened by climate change. And around the world, women and girls are the most likely to be responsible for fetching water for their families.
This exposes them to danger and leaves them with less time to attend school, earn money, or simply to rest. But the fact is that the effects of climate change will be felt globally.
Despite the difficulties she is facing, trying to get an education, Mathilda says she hopes to serve her community in a leadership role when she grows up.
"All of the world's leaders need to work together to solve this problem that we are all facing," she said.
1. Mathilda has to spend _____ fetching water every school day.
A. two hours B. four hours
C. more than four hours D. almost a whole day
2. The first two paragraphs are intended to tell us _____.
A. the cause and effect of lack of water
B. one serious consequence of climate change
C. the difficulties in fetching water in the semiarid region
D. the hardship of life for the people in the semiarid region
3. We can conclude from the passage that _____.
A. climate change is everyone's business
B. water is becoming rare because of rising temperatures
C. fetching water takes up Mathilda's half of studying time
D. females are more responsible for fetching water for their families
4. The passage is mainly about the problem caused by _____.
A. rising temperatures B. fetching water
C. climate change D. water shortage

On February 15, 1910, Irena Krzyzanowska was born in Warsaw, Poland. Irena studied Polish literature at Warsaw University, and eventually joined the Polish Socialist Party.
Then World War II broke out. It was 1940 and Germany had taken over. The Germans had begun shifting Warsaw's population of 380,000 Jews to a separate Ghetto(聚居区). Irena worked in the Warsaw health department and was allowed to enter the Ghetto.
Irena was a member of Zegota(援助犹太人委员会), a secret organization set up by the Polish government. The goal of Zegota was to rescue Polish Jews. Irena's job was to rescue as many children as she could.
Regardless of the danger it posed, Irena began aiding Jews in earnest(真挚地) in the early 1940s. She and her sympathetic co-workers created more than 3,000 false documents to help Jewish families, and that was just the beginning of the efforts.
Irena and her team began smuggling children out during these visits. They used various methods, such as hiding them in ambulances, leading them through sewer pipes or underground passages, even stuffing them into suitcases or boxes that they'd then take through the courtyard to the non-Jewish area.
Irena was helped by a network of over 30 volunteers, most of whom were women. Their hope was to get the children back to their families once the war was won. Irena and her helpers noted the names of the children on cigarette papers and sealed them in glass bottles. Then they buried the bottles in a friend's garden for safekeeping. When the war was done, the bottles were dug up and the lists handed to Jewish representatives. Sadly, reuniting the children with their parents proved mostly impossible, as almost all had been killed in concentration camps.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
The Polish Government honored Irena many awards. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

1.答案:
Bai Fangli, an ordinary old man in Tianjin, spent the last 18 years of his life cycling along the streets regardless of wind and rain, earning nearly 350,000 yuan, all of which was donated to fund a programme of helping the students in poverty without hesitation. However, he himself lived a poor life without a single day of rest all year round. What he had done made a great difference to the students. The old man devoted himself to helping the students in need, but never asked anything in return. When asked what he wanted to expect from the students he had assisted, he answered simply and honestly, "I'd like them to study hard, work well to make more contributions to our country."
The much respected old man passed away peacefully on Sept. 23, 2005, at the age of 93, but he remained living forever in the hearts of thousands of people.
2.答案:
The Polish Government honored Irena many awards. She was honored for rescuing "the most defenseless victims—the Jewish children". Many years later, she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for her effort to prevent Jewish children from being killed. Then, only a few years ago, a group of elderly people, came to her and thanked her for her rescue. They were some of the thousands of children saved by Irena in the war. She said their happy life was the biggest prize to her.
She insisted that she did nothing special. "I was brought up to believe that a person must be rescued when drowning, regardless of religion and nationality." She said the term "hero" encouraged her greatly. It gave her inspiration and determination to help those in danger. She said, however, her fellow workers were true heroes. Some of them sacrificed their lives in the rescue work. They were the people that really deserve respect and memory of the world.
