On her first day tutoring students from low-income families at an after-school program in New York City, Alyssa Kapasi noticed how many kids were lining up for free sandwiches and fruit in the cafeteria. Many of these students don’t get enough to eat at home, so a school lunch or an after-school meal might be the most food they would get all day.
Kapasi, who attends private school, was shocked. She was determined to help. “I want other kids to understand that if you see a problem, you don’t have to wait to be an adult to fix it.” says Kapasi. She and a group of friends are now putting their programming skills to work to create a mobile app called Food for Thought. Through the application, parents will be able to pay for their own children’s meal and will be presented with an option to donate 2-3 dollars to pay for a meal of another student.Other donors will also be able to donate money to help children get lunch in their community.
One creative characteristic of the app is that the receivers of the contributions will be anonymous. To receive financial help, a family will need only a recommendation from a school administrator, and no one else has to know. “I want to make my platform an application that all users feel no shame in using.” says Kapasi.
“It astonished us that in one of the wealthiest and most advanced countries in the world there are still communities that are going hungry. By giving parents an easy option, we encourage their giving and raise their awareness that there are students in their children’s school who are in need.” Kapasi says. She hopes to have the app ready to be used in New York City-based schools during the new school year.

The long-awaited return journey of female giant panda Ya Ya, who has lived in the Memphis Zoo in the US state of Tennessee for 20 years, finally started on Wednesday local time, according to media reports. The news resulted in heated cheers of Chinese netizens as they had been closely watching and looking forward to Ya Ya’s return for months over concerns about the giant panda’s health.
Ya Ya had left the Memphis Zoo in Tennessee, the US, starting her journey back to China on Wednesday morning, the Xinhua News Agency reported. When asked about the latest progress on Ya Ya’s return journey, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at the Wednesday press conference that Ya Ya would soon return to China as arranged. “Related parties in China and the US are actively promoting related preparations and arrangements,” Mao said.

Ya Ya was born in the Beijing Zoo in August 2000. In April 2003, as part of a cooperation program on the protection and research of giant pandas between China and the US, Ya Ya and Le Le, a male panda from the Shanghai Zoo, were flown to Memphis.
Since the beginning of 2021, there have been continuous reports about the poor health conditions of Ya Ya and Le Le, with heart-wrenching photos surfacing online.

Sharing a room with a family member or a friend can be tough (困难), but it becomes especially difficult when you are sharing it with someone you hardly know. If you find yourself in a similar situation, do not despair. There are things you can do to help you cope with having a roommate, no matter who it may be.
First of all, you have to remember that you get what you give. If you are nice to others, then others will be nice to you as well. You also need to set boundaries for yourself and for the other person. So before your new roommate moves in, talk to him. Set the rules early on and discuss your hopes.

So he has that new PS3 game that you have always wanted to try out Ask permission first. If he says no, don’t ask him for it again. If he lets you borrow his stuff, take care of the item and treat it as if it were your own. Make sure that you return it in the same condition as when you borrowed it.
To keep away from disagreements over who does the housework, clean as you go. For chores (杂务) that can be shared, you may want to divide it equally so that you don’t do all the housework. Take turns in washing the dishes. You may do it every other day or you may divide the task so that you only have to do it in the morning and your roommate will only have to do it at night.
When it comes to food and grocery items, determine what can be shared. Don’t be too mean when it comes to sharing food. On the other hand, determine what you can share and what you can’t and be clear about it. The advantage of sharing food is that you can save on time and food preparation.

Honesty Won’t Let You Down
Asad was a 13-year-old boy who was very honest and hardworking. Recently, he had entered a new school so he had no friends yet. On Monday morning, he was nearly late for school. The night before, his family attended his cousin’s wedding and reached home late, which was why he couldn’t get up on time as usual.
At school, Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take the money. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing.
Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the dining room. He saw a few of his classmates there, among whom was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class but he was very arrogant. But as Asad was new, he didn’t know much about anyone.
Asad thought he might borrow some money from Fahad and return it to him the next day. So he got up and slowly went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money.
Fahad smirked (讥笑) and said, “I knew you were a loser, but I didn’t know you were also a beggar ” Fahad laughed out so loud that the other kids heard and also made fun of Asad.
It was too humiliating (丢脸的) for Asad. He could not answer Fahad and slowly walked back towards an empty bench. He could still hear them laughing at him in the distance. When he reached the bench, he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it was Fahad’s, as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and saying that his uncle bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid.
注意:1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;

Many of these students don’t get enough to eat at home, so a school lunch or an after-school meal might be the most food they would get all day.
Kapasi, who attends private school, was shocked. She was determined to help. “I want other kids to understand that if you see a problem, you don’t have to wait to be an adult to fix it.” says Kapasi. She and a group of friends are now putting their programming skills to work to create a mobile app called Food for Thought. Through the application, parents will be able to pay for their own children’s meal and will be presented with an option to donate 2-3 dollars to pay for a meal of another student.Other donors will also be able to donate money to help children get lunch in their community.
One creative characteristic of the app is that the receivers of the contributions will be anonymous. To receive financial help, a family will need only a recommendation from a school administrator, and no one else has to know. “I want to make my platform an application that all users feel no shame in using.” says Kapasi.
“It astonished us that in one of the wealthiest and most advanced countries in the world there are still communities that are going hungry. By giving parents an easy option, we encourage their giving and raise their awareness that there are students in their children’s school who are in need.” Kapasi says. She hopes to have the app ready to be used in New York City-based schools during the new school year.

【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:他下定决心研究大米,只是为了让更多的人有饭吃,所以他的兴趣非常专注于大米。根据固定搭配“be+ adj.+ to do”可知这里需要使用形容词形式,再根据主语是人,修饰人一般使用-ed结构,故填determined。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:他下定决心研究大米,只是为了让更多的人有饭吃,所以他的兴趣非常专注于大米。这里修饰动词短语“were focused on”,所以应该使用副词修饰,故填extremely。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:20世纪70年底,他和他的团队在杂交水稻栽培方面取得了两项重大发现。根据固定搭配,“在某个年代”译为“in the+年代”,故填the。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他帮助中国创造了一个伟大的奇迹,用不到世界总土地的9%养活了世界近五分之一的人口。前半句是一句完整的话了,逗号后又没有连词,所以这里的feed应该考虑非谓语动词形式;这里是用来解释wonder(奇迹)的,说明是个什么奇迹,所以这里要使用动名词形式,描述的是一件事情,为同位语,故填feeding。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:他们对中国的农业产生了巨大的影响。空前是形容词,之后需要跟名词,所以这里需要把contribute变为名词形式充当宾语,故填contribution。
【44题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:2019年,袁隆平被授予国家最高荣誉:共和国勋章。整句话中没有谓语动词,所以这里的动词要考虑谓语动词形式。袁隆平和授予的关系是被动的,再加上这里是一般过去时态,而且主语是第三人称单数,故填was awarded。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:袁隆平是为改善民生而付出毕生精力的代表人物之一。根据固定搭配“devote to doing”译为“致力于做某事”,故填improving。

Honesty Won’t Let You Down
Asad was a 13-year-old boy who was very honest and hardworking. Recently, he had entered a new school so he had no friends yet. On Monday morning, he was nearly late for school. The night before, his family attended his cousin’s wedding and reached home late, which was why he couldn’t get up on time as usual.
At school, Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take the money. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing.
Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the dining room. He saw a few of his classmates there, among whom was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class but he was very arrogant. But as Asad was new, he didn’t know much about anyone.
Asad thought he might borrow some money from Fahad and return it to him the next day. So he got up and slowly went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money.
Fahad smirked (讥笑) and said, “I knew you were a loser, but I didn’t know you were also a beggar ” Fahad laughed out so loud that the other kids heard and also made fun of Asad.
It was too humiliating (丢脸的) for Asad. He could not answer Fahad and slowly walked back towards an empty bench. He could still hear them laughing at him in the distance. When he reached the bench, he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it was Fahad’s, as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and saying that his uncle bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid.

Paragraph 2:
Then Fahad said, “why are you giving it back ”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punished Fahad. At least he could afford the lunch now. However, another voice popped up, urging him to give it back to Fahad, which made him feel torn. “I should never keep the wallet at the cost of my honesty, and Fahad would be extremely embarrassed without any money in the presence of so many classmates!” Asad convinced himself. Once he made up his mind, he accelerated his pace and caught him up. “Fahad, it’s your wallet and I found it on the bench.” Taking over the wallet, Fahad stared into Asad’s eyes with a puzzled look written on his face.
Then Fahad said, “Why are you giving it back ” He even looked into his wallet, obviously doubtful about Asad’s act. Calmly and patiently, Asad explained, “I had originally wanted to keep it secret as a punishment for your arrogance, but being honest matters more to me.” Hearing what Asad had said, Fahad felt his face burning with shame. He bent, thanking Asad for saving him from the embarrassing situation and apologizing to the classmates around for calling them losers. “And the lunch is on me. You all are my friends!” Fahad announced.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Asad是一位诚实和勤奋的男孩,在他进入新的学校后没有朋友,有一天,他向同学Fahad借钱想买早餐,Fahad非但没有借给他还嘲笑他,后来Asad捡到了Fahad 的钱包,里面还有很多的钱,处于诚实的本性,本来打算保守秘密,却最终还给了Fahad,Fahad被Asad的诚实举动而感到羞愧,并请他吃午餐,就这样他们成为了好朋友。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“起初,Asad想保守秘密,并惩罚了Fahad”可知,第一段可描写Asad打算不归还钱包的时候心理状态以及他还钱包的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“然后Fahad说:‘你为什么要把它还给我?’”可知,第二段可描写Asad解释自己还钱包的原因以及Fahad听到他的解释后的感受和决定。
