Want to explore new cultures, meet new people and do something worthwhile at the same time You can do all the three with Global Development Association (GDA).

Soft winds blew throughout the Windy City today. We welcomed the winds, as it was another hot day in Chicago. The wind blew, bringing us some coolness — and making the weather not that hot. But it was a beautiful summer day with a blue sky.
Chicago is a great city for eating, and we have enjoyed tasting the different foods. Last night, we tried one of the city's most famous foods: deep-dish pizza. Chicago claims credit for the rich and cheesy thick-crust pizza, covered with a sweet tomato sauce. We topped it with olives and green peppers.
We were touring the city, mainly looking for delicious local foods. Today, we enjoyed a Polish specialty at lunch: pierogies, an Eastern European dumpling-like dish, filled with foods like potatoes, cheese, mushrooms, cabbage and meat. Polish immigrants (移民) started settling in Chicago in the 1850s, and the city has one of the largest Polish communities in the US.
We took a break from exploring the city to talk with some of you! Ashley and Caty logged onto the Internet for Talk 2 Us. We spoke to an English teacher in Tokyo, Japan, and a graduate student in India.
Meanwhile, Adam searched for some locations around the city to shoot some videos. He chose a spectacular(壮丽的)spot: Navy Pier, one of Chicago's most-visited attractions. The winds from Lake Michigan kept visitors cool, and the view of the Chicago skyline never failed to impress. In fact, the view made all of us head over heels!
Our time in Chicago has come to an end. Tomorrow, the true journey begins, as we pass through Illinois and into Missouri. Springfield, the home of Abe Lincoln, and St. Louis, the "gateway to the West" , wait for us.
1.Why did the author and her companions like the soft winds
A.They brought warmth to them. B.They made them feel comfortable.
C.They left the sky blue and beautiful. D.They improved the quality of the air.
2.What did the author and her companions mainly do in Chicago
A.They enjoyed famous local foods. B.They visited Polish communities.
C.They explored for foreign customs. D.They studied the history of the city.
3.The author and her companions stayed online _________.
A.communicating with strangers abroad B.asking for information on foreign foods
C.sharing their travel plan with strangers D.learning about different cultures in the world
4.The underlined part "head over heels" in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by ___________.
A.bored B.relaxed C.fascinated D.disappointed
C
Being blind at birth is tough in any case. But things were even harder for Srikanth Bolla who was bom in a small village in India, where the common belief was that kids with disabilities were "of no use" and therefore, better off dead. Fortunately, Srikanth's parents loved their son and refused to give him up. Instead, they encouraged the blind boy to dream big and reach for the stars.
Srikanth did not disappoint his parents. The now twenty-seven-year-old is the founder and CEO of Bollant Industries.
Of course, getting here was not easy. Being both blind and poor meant that Srikanth had to face hard challenges. As a young boy, Srikanth attended a regular school near his home. Unfortunately, the students and teachers didn't quite like him because of his disability. As a result, the young boy was largely ignored and often spent the entire day alone.
Concerned this would hold back Srikanth's development, his family decided to send him to a special school in Hyderabad. Sure enough, the young boy soon rose to the top of his class, winning awards in speech and debate competitions. But Srikanth was prevented from studying sciences when he reached 10th grade, because it was thought too "dangerous" for a blind student. Not wanting to give up, Srikanth took legal action and became the first blind student in the country allowed to study sciences.
Later, after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Srikanth set up Bollant Industries in 2012. For just four years, it became a powerhouse with over 450 employees, 70% of whom are physically challenged.
Being disabled doesn't mean being unable. "If the world looks at me and says, 'Srikanth, you can do nothing.' I will look back at the world and say, 'I can do anything.'" the young man says.
1.Why was Srikanth sent to a special school
A.His parents became richer than before. B.He could be treated equally there.
C.This school was free for disabled students. D.He was sent away by the regular school.
2.What can we know about Srikanth from the text
A.He was born in a poor village. B.He cared about disabled people.
C.His parents were strict with him in his study. D.He was loved by the villagers when he was young.
3.What words can best describe Srikanth
A.Intelligent and determined. B.Active and honest.
C.Patient and careful. D.Kind but stubborn.
4.What can be the best title for the text
A.Chances Are Everywhere B.No Challenges, No Success
C.A Big Dream Makes a Difference D.Disability Doesn't Mean Being Unable
D
All day long, at an MSF distribution center, humanitarian(人道主义的) supplies make their way to some of the most dangerous spots on the planet. Specially marked boxes are being packed with medicines, supplies and contamination suits, which are on their way to Ebola-affected Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
Kathy Dedieu became a sanitation (卫生设备) and water engineer for MSF a decade ago. We meet in Paris at MSF headquarters. Dedieu has just returned from Liberia, where MSF is working to help reopen the hospitals. Her job is to make sure that clean parts of the hospitals are kept separate from areas that are polluted. She says the situation there is a complete disaster. "Even during the war, I haven't seen a health system close so fast. The hospitals are empty because the health staff just aren't there," she says. Dedieu was in Liberia during that country's civil war in 2003.
MSF was founded in 1971 by a group of doctors and journalists. "I remember being criticized in the 1980s as a 'medical cowboy'," says Rony Brauman, who headed MSF from 1982 to 1994. "We were blamed for riding in, distributing our pills and creating unreasonable expectations." But Brauman says that's the nature of health care. "We raise expectations; we create new diseases by treating old diseases," he says. "That's how it works in general. It was a kind of fight. MSF won that fight," says Brauman.
MSF doctor Cameron Bopp says he's worked with other humanitarian organizations but always missed the level of devotion and motivation he's found at MSF. "The main thing that's different about MSF from the point of view of someone like me who goes out and works in the field is that when there's an emergency, other organizations say, 'Whoa, this is an emergency. We're gonna be there as soon as we get funding.' And MSF has the funding," he says. "We start right away." Ninety percent of MSF's funding comes from a devoted base of five million donors. That gives it the independence to speak out and do what's really needed.
1.What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A.To introduce a function of MSF.
B.To show the seriousness of Ebola.
C.To explore a distribution center of MSF.
D.To encourage donations to Ebola-affected countries.
2.What can be learned about Kathy Dedieu
A.She is working in Liberia.
B.She founded MSF with many other doctors.
C.She was once a soldier in the civil war in 2003.
D.She helps with pollution prevention in hospitals.
3.What was people's attitude to MSF in the early years
A.Hopeful. B.Curious. C.Uncaring. D.Disapproving.
4.How is MSF different from other humanitarian organizations according to Cameron Bopp
A.It involves many journalists. B.It has a lot of reliable donors.
C.It is operated by doctors themselves. D.It obtains funding from the government.

What are some ways to deal with noisy neighbors
Noisy neighbors are a common problem in a society where many people live closely together. Obviously, this issue can be the most significant when you share walls or a floor/ceiling with a neighbor. Then how can you tackle noisy neighbors
You should be aware that not all neighbors are going to respond to your request. ①_________ If noisy neighbors don't change their behavior, the next step should be to write a letter, detailing the noise. ②_________ If noisy neighbors respond in such bad manners that you fear for your safety, your next step when noise occurs should be a call for the police.
When the noise remains ongoing, you should definitely report it to local authorities. ③_________ Continue with calls for the police department when absolutely necessary. You might want to connect other neighbors who may also be bothered by the same noise. In fact, the problem is resolved when the noisy neighbors know you are going to call the police.
Do be aware that you cannot always request noisy neighbors to be quiet. ④_________ And what you define as noisy neighbors may not really have bothering behavior. Carefully read specific apartments' HOA rules to see if your neighbor's noise is actually breaking rules.
⑤_________ If you have followed through with the steps and the letters, don't start banging things around in your home or turning up the music to annoy the neighbor. Simply report behavior to the appropriate authorities. If you do not, it will weaken your case and make it necessary for you to take the matter to a small court.
A. There is one exception to this.
B. And some may respond in bad manners.
C. Some people have lower tolerance for the noise.
D. Start with landlords or the Homeowner's Association (HOA).
E. Also, it is wise not to respond to noise in an angry fashion.
F. The letter should state the dates when the quarrel happens.
G. You should first attempt to address noisy neighbors about the noise.

Regardless of the weather or the distance, Paul Wilson will make sure low-income students in his neighbourhood arrive at their college classes on time.
A retired engineer, 76-year-old Wilson has been 1 free rides to college students for the past eight years. Since he first started 2 his car to the young people, Wilson has 3 an astonishing 64,000 miles, and has had countless pleasant and often humorous 4 with the students he transports to and from school. The students who he's 5 have gone on to become physicians, teachers and engineers, but what they've also got out of their time in school is finding a role model and a friend in Wilson. Some students even call him "Grandpa".
Tina Stern 6 rides from Wilson for all her four years in college, and the trips meant much more to her than just free 7 . "It's not just a ride; you're not just sitting there in awkward silence or with your headphones on." Stem said. "He asks you questions and actually 8 the answers, so the next time you ride with him, he'll 9 those things."
Wilson first worked as a driver through a student-support programme of the non-profit organisation, On Point for College. Although the 10 asks the members only to drive students to and from their classes, Wilson often goes beyond to ensure the welfare and safety of the students. If they have problems with registration, Wilson is there to 11 them. If they run out of certain daily necessities, Wilson will drive to the nearest store and purchase what's needed. If a student gets hungry on the long drives to and from school, Wilson never 12 to buy them a meal.
For many students, Wilson's help is not only appreciated, it's also entirely 13 for them to be able to complete their college education. Some students don't have a reliable car, while others have to share vehicles with parents who work six days a week. For them, riding with Wilson has 14 them to complete their education―but according to Wilson, he benefits just as much from the experience. "I just love driving, and I love these kids," Wilson said. "It's such a(n) 15 to be a part of these kids' lives, even just for a few hours, getting to know them and hearing their stories."

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself: Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday He must really be a nerd (书呆子).
As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him up so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw the terrible sadness in his eyes. So, I jogged to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, he said, "Thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. The more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him.
Over next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors, he had the highest marks in the class and was chosen to give a speech at the graduation ceremony. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a lot, and I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak.
Graduation day, I saw Kyle. I said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!" He looked at me with one of those looks, the really grateful one, and said "Thanks" with a smile. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began, Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give him or her. I am going to tell you a story.
Paragraph 1:
I just looked at my friend in disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

答案以及解析
第一部分 阅读理解
第一节
A
1.答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第四句可知,志愿者经理的主要职责是执行项目。故选C项。
2.答案：D
解析：细节理解题。表格中“2 Aug.-29 Aug.”对应的国家为“South Africa”,由此可知在八月份开始的项目应在南非开展。故选D项。
3.答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“you'll create positive changes in a poor and remote community”和第六段中的“All our projects aim to promote the development of poor and remote communities.”可知,共同的目标是促进偏远和贫穷的社区的发展,即帮助需要帮助的社区。故选D项。
B
答案：1-4.BAAC
解析：1.考查推理判断。由第一段中的"The wind blew, bringing us some coolness—and making the weather not that hot"可知,作者和她的同伴们喜欢微风是因为微风使她们感觉舒服,故选B。
2.考查细节理解。由文章第二段内容,以及第三段中的"We were touring the city, mainly looking for delicious local foods"可知,作者和她的同伴们在芝加哥做的事情主要是享用当地有名的美食。
3.考查细节理解。由第四段内容可知作者和她的同伴们在网上和海外的陌生人聊天,故选A。
4.考查词义猜测。由第五段中的"a spectacular(壮丽的) spot" "one of Chicago's most-visited attractions" "the view of the Chicago skyline never failed to impress"可知,这里的景色非常美,使得所有人都神魂颠倒。"head over heels"意为"着迷的",与fascinated的意思相同,故选C。
C
答案：1-4.BBAD
解析：1.推理判断题。由第三段的最后两句Unfortunately, the students... the entire day alone.和第四段第一句Concerned this would hold back... in Hyderabad.可知,在普通学校,老师和学生不喜欢Srikanth,父母担心这会影响Srikanth的成长,决定把他送到特殊学校。由此可推知,在特殊学校,Srikanth Bolla可以得到公平的对待。A、C、D三个选项相关信息文中并未提及。故选B项。
2.推理判断题。由第五段第二句For just four years, it became a powerhouse with over 450 employees,70%of whom are physically challenged.可推知,Srikanth Bolla是关心残疾人的。根据第一段中的who was born in a small village可知他出生在一个小村庄,但文中并未提到那个村庄是否贫穷,故排除A;文中未提他父母对他是否严厉,故排除C;文中未提及他受村民喜爱,因此D项可排除。故选B项。
3.推理判断题。根据第四段第二句Sure enough, the young boy soon rose to the top of his class, winning awards in speech and debate competitions.可知,Srikanth Bolla是很聪明的(intelligent)。根据第四段最后一句Not wanting to give up, Srikanth took legal action and became the first blind student in the country allowed to study sciences.可知,Srikanth Bolla不被允许上科学课。他不想放弃,于是运用法律手段成了他们国家第一个上科学课的盲人学生,所以Srikanth Bolla是意志坚定的(determined)。B项“积极和正直”、C项“耐心和谨慎”和D项“和善但顽固”都不符合文章对Srikanth Bolla的描述。故选A项。
4.主旨大意题。文章一开始讲述Srikanth Bolla出生地的人认为残疾就是无用的,文章中间段落讲述他父母对他的培养以及他自己的努力,最终没有让父母失望,还成立了自己的公司。所以本文主要讲“残疾并不意味着无能”,而不是A项的“机会到处都有”和B项的“没有挑战就没有成功”,C项“大梦想起作用”脱离了Srikanth Bolla的特殊性。故选D项。
D
答案：1-4.ADDB
解析：1.推理判断题。第一段主要呈现了无国界医生组织的一个分发中心为埃博拉病毒感染国家配发物资的场景,其目的是展示该组织的一项功能,而不是为了展示埃博拉病毒的严重,因此B项不正确。C项“探究无国界医生组织的一个分发中心”与D项“鼓励向受埃博拉病毒影响的国家捐赠”与文意不符。故选A项。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段中的Her job is to make sure that clean parts of the hospitals are kept separate from areas that are polluted.可知,Kathy Dedieu的工作是确保医院的清洁区和污染区是分开的,即预防医院被污染。由第二段中的Dedieu has just returned from Liberia可以判断,Dedieu目前不在利比里亚,因此A项错误;由第二段的最后一句话可知,2003年利比里亚国内战争爆发时,Dedieu在利比里亚,并没有提到她在当兵,因此C项错误;由第三段第一句话可以看出,无国界医生组织并不是由Dedieu建立的,因此B项错误。故选D项。
3.推理判断题。根据第三段中的being criticized in the 1980s和were blamed可知,无国界医生组织成立之初是不被人们接受的。hopeful充满希望的;curious好奇的;uncaring冷漠的;disapproving不赞同的。故选D项。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的when there's an emergency... do what's really needed可知,Cameron Bopp认为无国界医生组织不同于其他人道主义组织最主要的一点是它有许多可靠的捐赠者。该组织的赞助不是来自政府,而是来自捐赠者,因此D项错误;A、C两项从Cameron Bopp所说的话中看不出,与文意不符。故选B项。
第二节
答案：BADCE
解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章告诉我们应该如何应对吵闹的邻居。
①根据上文中的"not all neighbors are going to respond to your request"可知不是所有的邻居都会回应你提出的要求。B项“有的人可能会不礼貌地回应”符合语境。
②上文谈到建议写信给邻居描述噪音的问题,接下来谈到如果邻居态度恶劣以至于你担心你的安全问题,那么就报警这是个例外,故A项符合语境。本题容易误选F项,F项虽然谈到了信,但是F项中的"the quarrel"在文中没有体现。
③根据上文中的"report it to local authorities"可知当噪音持续时,你应向当地政府部门报告。D项中的"Start with"和下文中的"Continue with"形成呼应,故选D。
④根据上文中的"Do be aware that you cannot always request noisy neighbors to be quiet."可知,你不能总是要求吵闹的邻居保持安静。C项“有些人对噪音的容忍度较低”是对上句的进一步解释。
⑤根据下文中的"don't start banging things around in your home or turning up the music to annoy the neighbor"可知,不要开始在你的家里猛敲东西,也不要调大音乐来惹怒邻居。故本段建议要用正确的方式来解决邻居吵闹的问题,E项“此外,不以愤怒的方式来回应噪音是明智的”符合语境,是对下文的概括总结。

15.考查名词辨析。effort努力;ambition雄心,志向; privilege荣幸;convenience方便,便利。威尔逊认为自己从接送学生们上下学的经历中受益颇多。在这个过程中,他认识了这些学生,听到了他们的故事,他认为这是自己的“荣幸”。 故C选项正确。
第二节
答案：interaction; have spent; one; are influenced; straighten; powerless; that; gestures; to feel; down
解析：这是一篇说明文,主题语境为人与自我。文章主要介绍了我们的思想可以影响我们的肢体语言,同时,我们的肢体语言也会影响我们的思想,我们可以通过尝试自信的肢体语言,帮助清除我们的害羞和无力感。
①考查名词。句意:当我们考虑交流时,我们考虑的是互动。空格前think about意为“考虑”,为动词短语,后应接名词作宾语。interact意为“互动,交流”,动词词性,对应的名词为interaction,意为“互动,相互影响”。故填interaction。
②考查时态。根据句中In the past years可知,此处应用现在完成时,主语scientists为可数名词复数形式。故填have spent。
③考查数词。根据句中another可知,句子表达的是“赞成一个人,不喜欢另一个人”,空格处应用one,泛指“一个”,与下文的another形成对照。故填one。
④考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句子陈述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时;that引导定语从句,先行词为clues,that在从句中作主语;influence意为“影响”,clues与influence为逻辑上的被动关系,故应用一般现在时的被动语态。故填are influenced。
⑤考查固定短语和时态。句意:科学家们发现,当我们感到骄傲和强大时,我们通常会挺直腰板,让自己变得更强大。根据句意和句中usually可知,句子陈述的是经常性、习惯性的动作,应用一般现在时:句中涉及固定短语straighten up,意为“直起身子,挺直腰杆”,在句中作谓语;straight意为“直的”,形容词词性,straighten意为“挺直”,动词词性,we后接动词原形。故填straighten。
⑥考查形容词。空格前feel为感官动词,后接形容词作表语。根据By contrast可知,本句话是在与上文进行对比,根据上文的powerful可知,这里指的是当我们感到“无力”时,powerless意为“无力的,无权的”。故填powerless。
⑦考查主语从句。分析句子结构可知,句中It为形式主语,真正的主语是后面的从句,从句中不缺成分且意思完整,故应用that引导从句。故填that。
⑧考查名词复数。句中powerful意为“强大的,强有力的”,形容词词性,后接名词:gesture意为“姿势”,为可数名词,句中表示不止一个姿势,故应用gesture的复数形式gestures。
⑨考查动词不定式。根据句意可知,句中涉及固定短语"be likely to do sth.",意为“可能做某事”。故填to feel。
⑩考查固定搭配。因此,一些科学家建议我们尝试自信的身体语言,以帮助清除我们的害羞和无力感。句中涉及固定短语"break down",意为“清除,破除”,此处指清除我们的害羞和无力感。故填down。
第三部分 写作
第一节
答案：
Hello, everyone. Among all the foreign travellers and adventurers, my favourite is Marco Polo, the famous Italian traveller and merchant, who travelled along the ancient Silk Road to China in the 13th century.
He travelled in China for 17 years, visiting many parts of China and was amazed to find how beautiful and powerful China was Although Marco Polo was not the only traveller who set foot in China, what set him apart from the others was that he introduced Chinese culture and scientific inventions to other parts of the world.
In my opinion, Marco Polo is really a great traveller, whose mission is to promote the exchange of different cultures and spread the seeds of civilization.
Thank you!
第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
I just looked at my friend in disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. Kyle had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. Meanwhile, I found he looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable." I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. When his eyes caught mine, I was able to see tears shimmering in his smiling eyes.
Paragraph 2:
I smiled back in tears. Not until that moment did I realize what a big difference one small gesture had made to him. I even saw his mom and dad looking at me and smiling with that same grateful smile. It dawned on me that never should we underestimate the power of our actions. With one small gesture we can change a person s life. For better or for worse.

Soft winds blew throughout the Windy City today. We welcomed the winds, as it was another hot day in Chicago. The wind blew, bringing us some coolness — and making the weather not that hot. But it was a beautiful summer day with a blue sky.
Chicago is a great city for eating, and we have enjoyed tasting the different foods. Last night, we tried one of the city's most famous foods: deep-dish pizza. Chicago claims credit for the rich and cheesy thick-crust pizza, covered with a sweet tomato sauce. We topped it with olives and green peppers.
We were touring the city, mainly looking for delicious local foods. Today, we enjoyed a Polish specialty at lunch: pierogies, an Eastern European dumpling-like dish, filled with foods like potatoes, cheese, mushrooms, cabbage and meat. Polish immigrants (移民) started settling in Chicago in the 1850s, and the city has one of the largest Polish communities in the US.
We took a break from exploring the city to talk with some of you! Ashley and Caty logged onto the Internet for Talk 2 Us. We spoke to an English teacher in Tokyo, Japan, and a graduate student in India.
Meanwhile, Adam searched for some locations around the city to shoot some videos. He chose a spectacular(壮丽的)spot: Navy Pier, one of Chicago's most-visited attractions. The winds from Lake Michigan kept visitors cool, and the view of the Chicago skyline never failed to impress. In fact, the view made all of us head over heels!
Our time in Chicago has come to an end. Tomorrow, the true journey begins, as we pass through Illinois and into Missouri. Springfield, the home of Abe Lincoln, and St. Louis, the "gateway to the West" , wait for us.
1.Why did the author and her companions like the soft winds
A.They brought warmth to them. B.They made them feel comfortable.
C.They left the sky blue and beautiful. D.They improved the quality of the air.
2.What did the author and her companions mainly do in Chicago
A.They enjoyed famous local foods. B.They visited Polish communities.
C.They explored for foreign customs. D.They studied the history of the city.
3.The author and her companions stayed online _________.
A.communicating with strangers abroad B.asking for information on foreign foods
C.sharing their travel plan with strangers D.learning about different cultures in the world
4.The underlined part "head over heels" in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by ___________.
A.bored B.relaxed C.fascinated D.disappointed
C
Being blind at birth is tough in any case. But things were even harder for Srikanth Bolla who was bom in a small village in India, where the common belief was that kids with disabilities were "of no use" and therefore, better off dead. Fortunately, Srikanth's parents loved their son and refused to give him up. Instead, they encouraged the blind boy to dream big and reach for the stars.
Srikanth did not disappoint his parents. The now twenty-seven-year-old is the founder and CEO of Bollant Industries.
Of course, getting here was not easy. Being both blind and poor meant that Srikanth had to face hard challenges. As a young boy, Srikanth attended a regular school near his home. Unfortunately, the students and teachers didn't quite like him because of his disability. As a result, the young boy was largely ignored and often spent the entire day alone.
Concerned this would hold back Srikanth's development, his family decided to send him to a special school in Hyderabad. Sure enough, the young boy soon rose to the top of his class, winning awards in speech and debate competitions. But Srikanth was prevented from studying sciences when he reached 10th grade, because it was thought too "dangerous" for a blind student. Not wanting to give up, Srikanth took legal action and became the first blind student in the country allowed to study sciences.
Later, after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Srikanth set up Bollant Industries in 2012. For just four years, it became a powerhouse with over 450 employees, 70% of whom are physically challenged.
Being disabled doesn't mean being unable. "If the world looks at me and says, 'Srikanth, you can do nothing.' I will look back at the world and say, 'I can do anything.'" the young man says.
1.Why was Srikanth sent to a special school
A.His parents became richer than before. B.He could be treated equally there.
C.This school was free for disabled students. D.He was sent away by the regular school.
2.What can we know about Srikanth from the text
A.He was born in a poor village. B.He cared about disabled people.
C.His parents were strict with him in his study. D.He was loved by the villagers when he was young.
3.What words can best describe Srikanth
A.Intelligent and determined. B.Active and honest.
C.Patient and careful. D.Kind but stubborn.
4.What can be the best title for the text
A.Chances Are Everywhere B.No Challenges, No Success
C.A Big Dream Makes a Difference D.Disability Doesn't Mean Being Unable
D
All day long, at an MSF distribution center, humanitarian(人道主义的) supplies make their way to some of the most dangerous spots on the planet. Specially marked boxes are being packed with medicines, supplies and contamination suits, which are on their way to Ebola-affected Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
Kathy Dedieu became a sanitation (卫生设备) and water engineer for MSF a decade ago. We meet in Paris at MSF headquarters. Dedieu has just returned from Liberia, where MSF is working to help reopen the hospitals. Her job is to make sure that clean parts of the hospitals are kept separate from areas that are polluted. She says the situation there is a complete disaster. "Even during the war, I haven't seen a health system close so fast. The hospitals are empty because the health staff just aren't there," she says. Dedieu was in Liberia during that country's civil war in 2003.
MSF was founded in 1971 by a group of doctors and journalists. "I remember being criticized in the 1980s as a 'medical cowboy'," says Rony Brauman, who headed MSF from 1982 to 1994. "We were blamed for riding in, distributing our pills and creating unreasonable expectations." But Brauman says that's the nature of health care. "We raise expectations; we create new diseases by treating old diseases," he says. "That's how it works in general. It was a kind of fight. MSF won that fight," says Brauman.
MSF doctor Cameron Bopp says he's worked with other humanitarian organizations but always missed the level of devotion and motivation he's found at MSF. "The main thing that's different about MSF from the point of view of someone like me who goes out and works in the field is that when there's an emergency, other organizations say, 'Whoa, this is an emergency. We're gonna be there as soon as we get funding.' And MSF has the funding," he says. "We start right away." Ninety percent of MSF's funding comes from a devoted base of five million donors. That gives it the independence to speak out and do what's really needed.
1.What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A.To introduce a function of MSF.
B.To show the seriousness of Ebola.
C.To explore a distribution center of MSF.
D.To encourage donations to Ebola-affected countries.
2.What can be learned about Kathy Dedieu
A.She is working in Liberia.
B.She founded MSF with many other doctors.
C.She was once a soldier in the civil war in 2003.
D.She helps with pollution prevention in hospitals.
3.What was people's attitude to MSF in the early years
A.Hopeful. B.Curious. C.Uncaring. D.Disapproving.
4.How is MSF different from other humanitarian organizations according to Cameron Bopp
A.It involves many journalists. B.It has a lot of reliable donors.
C.It is operated by doctors themselves. D.It obtains funding from the government.

What are some ways to deal with noisy neighbors
Noisy neighbors are a common problem in a society where many people live closely together. Obviously, this issue can be the most significant when you share walls or a floor/ceiling with a neighbor. Then how can you tackle noisy neighbors
You should be aware that not all neighbors are going to respond to your request. ①_________ If noisy neighbors don't change their behavior, the next step should be to write a letter, detailing the noise. ②_________ If noisy neighbors respond in such bad manners that you fear for your safety, your next step when noise occurs should be a call for the police.
When the noise remains ongoing, you should definitely report it to local authorities. ③_________ Continue with calls for the police department when absolutely necessary. You might want to connect other neighbors who may also be bothered by the same noise. In fact, the problem is resolved when the noisy neighbors know you are going to call the police.
Do be aware that you cannot always request noisy neighbors to be quiet. ④_________ And what you define as noisy neighbors may not really have bothering behavior. Carefully read specific apartments' HOA rules to see if your neighbor's noise is actually breaking rules.
⑤_________ If you have followed through with the steps and the letters, don't start banging things around in your home or turning up the music to annoy the neighbor. Simply report behavior to the appropriate authorities. If you do not, it will weaken your case and make it necessary for you to take the matter to a small court.
A. There is one exception to this.
B. And some may respond in bad manners.
C. Some people have lower tolerance for the noise.
D. Start with landlords or the Homeowner's Association (HOA).
E. Also, it is wise not to respond to noise in an angry fashion.
F. The letter should state the dates when the quarrel happens.
G. You should first attempt to address noisy neighbors about the noise.

A retired engineer, 76-year-old Wilson has been 1 free rides to college students for the past eight years. Since he first started 2 his car to the young people, Wilson has 3 an astonishing 64,000 miles, and has had countless pleasant and often humorous 4 with the students he transports to and from school. The students who he's 5 have gone on to become physicians, teachers and engineers, but what they've also got out of their time in school is finding a role model and a friend in Wilson. Some students even call him "Grandpa".
Tina Stern 6 rides from Wilson for all her four years in college, and the trips meant much more to her than just free 7 . "It's not just a ride; you're not just sitting there in awkward silence or with your headphones on." Stem said. "He asks you questions and actually 8 the answers, so the next time you ride with him, he'll 9 those things."
Wilson first worked as a driver through a student-support programme of the non-profit organisation, On Point for College. Although the 10 asks the members only to drive students to and from their classes, Wilson often goes beyond to ensure the welfare and safety of the students. If they have problems with registration, Wilson is there to 11 them. If they run out of certain daily necessities, Wilson will drive to the nearest store and purchase what's needed. If a student gets hungry on the long drives to and from school, Wilson never 12 to buy them a meal.
For many students, Wilson's help is not only appreciated, it's also entirely 13 for them to be able to complete their college education. Some students don't have a reliable car, while others have to share vehicles with parents who work six days a week. For them, riding with Wilson has 14 them to complete their education―but according to Wilson, he benefits just as much from the experience. "I just love driving, and I love these kids," Wilson said. "It's such a(n) 15 to be a part of these kids' lives, even just for a few hours, getting to know them and hearing their stories."

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself: Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday He must really be a nerd (书呆子).
As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him up so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw the terrible sadness in his eyes. So, I jogged to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, he said, "Thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. The more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him.
Over next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors, he had the highest marks in the class and was chosen to give a speech at the graduation ceremony. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a lot, and I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak.
Graduation day, I saw Kyle. I said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!" He looked at me with one of those looks, the really grateful one, and said "Thanks" with a smile. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began, Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give him or her. I am going to tell you a story.

I just looked at my friend in disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

答案以及解析
第一部分 阅读理解
第一节
A
1.答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第四句可知,志愿者经理的主要职责是执行项目。故选C项。
2.答案：D
解析：细节理解题。表格中“2 Aug.-29 Aug.”对应的国家为“South Africa”,由此可知在八月份开始的项目应在南非开展。故选D项。
3.答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“you'll create positive changes in a poor and remote community”和第六段中的“All our projects aim to promote the development of poor and remote communities.”可知,共同的目标是促进偏远和贫穷的社区的发展,即帮助需要帮助的社区。故选D项。
B
答案：1-4.BAAC
解析：1.考查推理判断。由第一段中的"The wind blew, bringing us some coolness—and making the weather not that hot"可知,作者和她的同伴们喜欢微风是因为微风使她们感觉舒服,故选B。
2.考查细节理解。由文章第二段内容,以及第三段中的"We were touring the city, mainly looking for delicious local foods"可知,作者和她的同伴们在芝加哥做的事情主要是享用当地有名的美食。
3.考查细节理解。由第四段内容可知作者和她的同伴们在网上和海外的陌生人聊天,故选A。
4.考查词义猜测。由第五段中的"a spectacular(壮丽的) spot" "one of Chicago's most-visited attractions" "the view of the Chicago skyline never failed to impress"可知,这里的景色非常美,使得所有人都神魂颠倒。"head over heels"意为"着迷的",与fascinated的意思相同,故选C。
C
答案：1-4.BBAD
解析：1.推理判断题。由第三段的最后两句Unfortunately, the students... the entire day alone.和第四段第一句Concerned this would hold back... in Hyderabad.可知,在普通学校,老师和学生不喜欢Srikanth,父母担心这会影响Srikanth的成长,决定把他送到特殊学校。由此可推知,在特殊学校,Srikanth Bolla可以得到公平的对待。A、C、D三个选项相关信息文中并未提及。故选B项。
2.推理判断题。由第五段第二句For just four years, it became a powerhouse with over 450 employees,70%of whom are physically challenged.可推知,Srikanth Bolla是关心残疾人的。根据第一段中的who was born in a small village可知他出生在一个小村庄,但文中并未提到那个村庄是否贫穷,故排除A;文中未提他父母对他是否严厉,故排除C;文中未提及他受村民喜爱,因此D项可排除。故选B项。
3.推理判断题。根据第四段第二句Sure enough, the young boy soon rose to the top of his class, winning awards in speech and debate competitions.可知,Srikanth Bolla是很聪明的(intelligent)。根据第四段最后一句Not wanting to give up, Srikanth took legal action and became the first blind student in the country allowed to study sciences.可知,Srikanth Bolla不被允许上科学课。他不想放弃,于是运用法律手段成了他们国家第一个上科学课的盲人学生,所以Srikanth Bolla是意志坚定的(determined)。B项“积极和正直”、C项“耐心和谨慎”和D项“和善但顽固”都不符合文章对Srikanth Bolla的描述。故选A项。
4.主旨大意题。文章一开始讲述Srikanth Bolla出生地的人认为残疾就是无用的,文章中间段落讲述他父母对他的培养以及他自己的努力,最终没有让父母失望,还成立了自己的公司。所以本文主要讲“残疾并不意味着无能”,而不是A项的“机会到处都有”和B项的“没有挑战就没有成功”,C项“大梦想起作用”脱离了Srikanth Bolla的特殊性。故选D项。
D
答案：1-4.ADDB
解析：1.推理判断题。第一段主要呈现了无国界医生组织的一个分发中心为埃博拉病毒感染国家配发物资的场景,其目的是展示该组织的一项功能,而不是为了展示埃博拉病毒的严重,因此B项不正确。C项“探究无国界医生组织的一个分发中心”与D项“鼓励向受埃博拉病毒影响的国家捐赠”与文意不符。故选A项。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段中的Her job is to make sure that clean parts of the hospitals are kept separate from areas that are polluted.可知,Kathy Dedieu的工作是确保医院的清洁区和污染区是分开的,即预防医院被污染。由第二段中的Dedieu has just returned from Liberia可以判断,Dedieu目前不在利比里亚,因此A项错误;由第二段的最后一句话可知,2003年利比里亚国内战争爆发时,Dedieu在利比里亚,并没有提到她在当兵,因此C项错误;由第三段第一句话可以看出,无国界医生组织并不是由Dedieu建立的,因此B项错误。故选D项。
3.推理判断题。根据第三段中的being criticized in the 1980s和were blamed可知,无国界医生组织成立之初是不被人们接受的。hopeful充满希望的;curious好奇的;uncaring冷漠的;disapproving不赞同的。故选D项。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的when there's an emergency... do what's really needed可知,Cameron Bopp认为无国界医生组织不同于其他人道主义组织最主要的一点是它有许多可靠的捐赠者。该组织的赞助不是来自政府,而是来自捐赠者,因此D项错误;A、C两项从Cameron Bopp所说的话中看不出,与文意不符。故选B项。
第二节
答案：BADCE
解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章告诉我们应该如何应对吵闹的邻居。
①根据上文中的"not all neighbors are going to respond to your request"可知不是所有的邻居都会回应你提出的要求。B项“有的人可能会不礼貌地回应”符合语境。
②上文谈到建议写信给邻居描述噪音的问题,接下来谈到如果邻居态度恶劣以至于你担心你的安全问题,那么就报警这是个例外,故A项符合语境。本题容易误选F项,F项虽然谈到了信,但是F项中的"the quarrel"在文中没有体现。
③根据上文中的"report it to local authorities"可知当噪音持续时,你应向当地政府部门报告。D项中的"Start with"和下文中的"Continue with"形成呼应,故选D。
④根据上文中的"Do be aware that you cannot always request noisy neighbors to be quiet."可知,你不能总是要求吵闹的邻居保持安静。C项“有些人对噪音的容忍度较低”是对上句的进一步解释。
⑤根据下文中的"don't start banging things around in your home or turning up the music to annoy the neighbor"可知,不要开始在你的家里猛敲东西,也不要调大音乐来惹怒邻居。故本段建议要用正确的方式来解决邻居吵闹的问题,E项“此外,不以愤怒的方式来回应噪音是明智的”符合语境,是对下文的概括总结。

第二节
答案：interaction; have spent; one; are influenced; straighten; powerless; that; gestures; to feel; down
解析：这是一篇说明文,主题语境为人与自我。文章主要介绍了我们的思想可以影响我们的肢体语言,同时,我们的肢体语言也会影响我们的思想,我们可以通过尝试自信的肢体语言,帮助清除我们的害羞和无力感。
①考查名词。句意:当我们考虑交流时,我们考虑的是互动。空格前think about意为“考虑”,为动词短语,后应接名词作宾语。interact意为“互动,交流”,动词词性,对应的名词为interaction,意为“互动,相互影响”。故填interaction。
②考查时态。根据句中In the past years可知,此处应用现在完成时,主语scientists为可数名词复数形式。故填have spent。
③考查数词。根据句中another可知,句子表达的是“赞成一个人,不喜欢另一个人”,空格处应用one,泛指“一个”,与下文的another形成对照。故填one。
④考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句子陈述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时;that引导定语从句,先行词为clues,that在从句中作主语;influence意为“影响”,clues与influence为逻辑上的被动关系,故应用一般现在时的被动语态。故填are influenced。
⑤考查固定短语和时态。句意:科学家们发现,当我们感到骄傲和强大时,我们通常会挺直腰板,让自己变得更强大。根据句意和句中usually可知,句子陈述的是经常性、习惯性的动作,应用一般现在时:句中涉及固定短语straighten up,意为“直起身子,挺直腰杆”,在句中作谓语;straight意为“直的”,形容词词性,straighten意为“挺直”,动词词性,we后接动词原形。故填straighten。
⑥考查形容词。空格前feel为感官动词,后接形容词作表语。根据By contrast可知,本句话是在与上文进行对比,根据上文的powerful可知,这里指的是当我们感到“无力”时,powerless意为“无力的,无权的”。故填powerless。
⑦考查主语从句。分析句子结构可知,句中It为形式主语,真正的主语是后面的从句,从句中不缺成分且意思完整,故应用that引导从句。故填that。
⑧考查名词复数。句中powerful意为“强大的,强有力的”,形容词词性,后接名词:gesture意为“姿势”,为可数名词,句中表示不止一个姿势,故应用gesture的复数形式gestures。
⑨考查动词不定式。根据句意可知,句中涉及固定短语"be likely to do sth.",意为“可能做某事”。故填to feel。
⑩考查固定搭配。因此,一些科学家建议我们尝试自信的身体语言,以帮助清除我们的害羞和无力感。句中涉及固定短语"break down",意为“清除,破除”,此处指清除我们的害羞和无力感。故填down。
第三部分 写作
第一节
答案：
Hello, everyone. Among all the foreign travellers and adventurers, my favourite is Marco Polo, the famous Italian traveller and merchant, who travelled along the ancient Silk Road to China in the 13th century.
He travelled in China for 17 years, visiting many parts of China and was amazed to find how beautiful and powerful China was Although Marco Polo was not the only traveller who set foot in China, what set him apart from the others was that he introduced Chinese culture and scientific inventions to other parts of the world.
In my opinion, Marco Polo is really a great traveller, whose mission is to promote the exchange of different cultures and spread the seeds of civilization.
Thank you!
第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
I just looked at my friend in disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. Kyle had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. Meanwhile, I found he looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable." I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. When his eyes caught mine, I was able to see tears shimmering in his smiling eyes.
Paragraph 2:
I smiled back in tears. Not until that moment did I realize what a big difference one small gesture had made to him. I even saw his mom and dad looking at me and smiling with that same grateful smile. It dawned on me that never should we underestimate the power of our actions. With one small gesture we can change a person s life. For better or for worse.
