The parents of a young man with Down Syndrome (唐氏综合征) have made an incredible move to set up his future after he faced constant rejections when looking for work.
After graduation, Anthony, 19-year-old, should have faced multiple career choices about which door to open, but when he actually tried those doors, one after the other, it was locked. Danijela and John Vrkic, from Canberra, were genuinely concerned about their son's future. It was rather difficult for people with a disability, especially those with an intellectual disability, to find any type of work. Inspired by their son, they decided to leave their respective careers behind to build a business.
Mrs. Vrkic got to work armed with her traditional family recipe for "krofhe'', or doughnuts (甜甜圈)，which dates back over four generations. She tested the market by sharing her homemade krofne at her previous office with colleagues and friends. Fortunately, it proved to be a hit. After four years in business, there are Krofine Canberra pop-up shops at a number of shopping centres, and an online store is also available.
Today, Krofne is a much loved, disability-inclusive family business and a social enterprise in Canberra. Employment opportunities for people with special needs have been generated. The specially designed KINECT program has highlighted how important it is for people with a disability to feel valued and included in the community. Mrs. Vrkic is an incredibly passionate advocate for inclusivity. She feels if somebody has a disability, it doesn't necessarily mean that they can't work. What she would like to see is for Australia to be inclusive—that every organisation understands and employs the disabled. That is her goal.
On the International Day of People with Disabilities, Mrs. Vrkic was invited to speak at Parliament House. She said, “We're a very small fish in the sea, if our business can do it, why can't other people ”
4. What did the parents do incredibly
A. They made doughnuts to sell.
B. They raised a child with a disability.
C. They quit their jobs to help their son.
D. They weren't discouraged after losing jobs.
5. Why were Mrs. Vrkic's doughnuts popular
A. Because she drew the inspiration from her son.
B. Because she followed the recipe passed down in her family.
C. Because she applied the technique learned from her previous job.
D. Because she got assistance from her previous colleagues and friends.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Mrs. Vrkic
A. Caring and ambitious. B. Elegant and determined.
C. Humorous and brave. D. Passionate and curious.
7. What can be inferred from Mrs. Vrkic's saying
A. Her success can be followed.
B. Her business needs to be expanded.
C. Every business can succeed with united efforts.
D. Every business can offer the disabled assistance.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了患有唐氏综合征的Anthony求职屡屡遭拒，他的父母为了帮助他，辞职创业，并成立了公司推行包容残疾这一理念。

(受到儿子经历的启示，他们决定辞去各自的事业去创业)”可知，为了帮助儿子，他们做了一件令人难以置信的事，辞去各自的工作去创业。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Mrs. Vrkic got to work armed with her traditional family recipe for "krofhe'', or doughnuts (甜甜圈), which dates back over four generations.(Vrkic夫人开始用她的传统家庭食谱制作甜甜圈，这种食谱可以追溯到四代人以前)”可知，Vrkic夫 人用的是独一无二的四代祖传食谱，这也是她的甜甜圈受欢迎的原因。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Mrs. Vrkic is an incredibly passionate advocate for inclusivity. She feels if somebody has a disability, it doesn't necessarily mean that they can't work.(Vrkic夫人是包容性的热情倡导者。她觉得如果一个人有残疾，并不一定意味着他们不能工作) ”可知，Vrkic夫人关爱残疾人，有爱心，再结合“What she would like to see is for Australia to be inclusive—that every organisation understands and employs the disabled. That is her goal.(她希望看到的是澳大利亚的包容性——每个组织都理解并雇佣残疾人。这就是她的目标) ”可知，Vrkic夫人有抱负，有理想，她希望把对残疾的包容这一理念在全澳大利亚推广。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据结合上文和第五段Vrkic夫人的话“We're a very small fish in the sea, if our business can do it, why can't other people (我们是海里的一条小鱼，如果我们的公司能做到，为什么别人不能呢 )”可推知，Vrkic 夫人认为自己的公司能做到对残疾的包容，其它公司也能，即所有的公司都可以为残疾人提供帮助。故选D项。

Students at an elementary school in California, with the help of their art teacher, created a telephone hotline that people can call to get cheerful advice from kids during difficult times. In just days, the hotline began getting thousands of calls an hour.
Most people agree that with concerns like COVID-19, extreme weather, and the climate crisis, the last couple of years have been stressful.
Jessica Martin, who teaches art at West Side School in Healdsburg, California, thought her students just might have the magic words to bring calm to people in these difficult times. So Ms. Martin, along with artist Asherah Weiss, worked with students on a project they called “PepToc”.
The project had two parts-one was the hotline, and the other was creating encouraging posters. The two adults worked with students from kindergarten to sixth grade. They had the same basic question for all the students, “What could you say to help or encourage someone else “Students working on the hotline thought of what they would like to say. When they were ready, Ms. Martin recorded each one. Later, she sorted out the recordings into the different parts of the telephone hotline.
Pressing 1 brings up ideas for people who are “feeling mad, frustrated or nervous”. Helpful suggestions include “punch your pillow” or “go get a cookie”. Pressing 2 results in “words of encouragement and life advice”. By pressing 3, you can hear a group of kindergartners saying together: “You can do it! Keep trying, don’t give up!” Pressing 4 starts the sounds of children giggling and laughing-a sound certain to bring a smile to anyone’s face.
Ms. Martin thought the project would only attract interest from people near the school. But the hotline was soon getting hundreds of calls a day. Words of the hotline spread quickly on social media. The hotline has become incredibly popular with stressed adults, patients in hospitals, older people in homes, and others who just want to hear the happy voices of children.
8. Who came up with the idea of the project
A. Parents of West Side School.
B. Jessica Martin and Asherah Weiss.
C. A student of West Side School.
D. The government of Healdsburg.
9. Which number should a caller press if he feels nervous
A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4.
10. What was unexpected for Ms. Martin
A. The magic of the children.
B. The sadness of the people.
C. The popularity of the hotline.
D. The influence of the social media.
11. What could be the best title for the text
A. The Charm of Art Is Beyond Words
B. A Project Is Carried Out to Study COVID-19
C. A Hotline Brings Stressful People Hope
D. Positive Messages From Kids Make a Hotline a Hit

细节理解题。根据第三段“So Ms. Martin, along with artist Asherah Weiss, worked with students on a project they called “Pep Toc”（因此，马丁女士和艺术家阿舍拉·韦斯与学生们一起开展了一个名为“Pep Toc”的项目）可知，Jessica Martin 和Asherah Weiss想出了这个项目。故选B项。

In both Africa and Asia elephants are being threatened by changes in their natural habitats. People are moving into the elephants’ habitats and endangering their survival. In the country of Sri Lanka, there is one place where elephants are not only protected but also respected. It is called Elephant Transit Home (ETH).
Set up in 1995, the ETH aims to protect and care for baby elephants that are found injured or living without their mothers in the wild. Every year about 30 baby elephants in Sri Lanka need help. Many are brought to the ETH. There they are given food, shelter, and medical care. Most importantly, they are given the chance to be with other elephants and become part of a herd.
A day at the ETH begins early in the morning when the baby elephants are given their first feeding of milk. During the day, each baby will drink an average of 13 gallons of milk. Older elephants are fed mostly coconut leaves and other native plants. There are no boundaries in the area for the baby elephants as they have the freedom to walk wherever they want. The cost of caring for the baby elephants is high. The ETH spends about $125,000 each year on powdered milk for the baby elephants.
At the ETH, workers try to reduce human connections with the elephants. They also try to increase bonds (联系) between the elephants. It usually takes three years for a baby elephant to be set free into its natural habitat. The elephants are sent back to the wild together with other orphans with whom they have bonded. This program helps them return to the wild as members of a herd that will communicate with each other and take care of each other.
The ETH is considered as one of the best animal protection sites in the world. Not only are the elephants cared for, but they are treated with respect. Most importantly, they go back to live in the wild, where they belong.
12. What do we know about the ETH
A. It helps to keep baby elephants safe. B. It saves hundreds of elephants every year.
C. It aims to protect elephants from extinction. D. It changes elephants’ habitats for the better.
13. What does the underlined word “boundaries” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Extreme climates. B. Dividing lines.
C. Limited foods. D. Endangered species.
14. Why do the workers reduce human connections with the elephants
A. To train them to stay away from hunters.
B. To provide them with more living space.
C. To study them better in a natural environment.
D. To help them make it in the wild as a herd.
15. What’s the purpose of the text
A. To show the ways of wildlife protection. B. To explain the threat baby elephants face.
C To introduce an animal protection project. D. To persuade the readers to protect elephants.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一个名为ETH的动物保护区，旨在保护和照顾在野外受伤或没有母亲一起生活的小象，帮助小象回归野外。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“Set up in 1995, the ETH aims to protect and care for baby elephants that are found injured or living without their mothers in the wild.”（ETH成立于1995年，旨在保护和照顾在野外受伤或没有母亲一起生活的小象。）可知，ETH旨在保护和照顾在野外受伤或没有母亲一起生活的小象，确保小象的安全，由此可知，ETH帮助保护小象的安全。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线单词句中“they have the freedom to walk wherever they want”（它们可以自由地走到它们想走的任何地方）可知，在这个地区小象可以自由地走到它们想走的任何地方，由此可知，这个地区没有分界线，所以小象可以自由走动，“Dividing lines”意为“分界线”，能够表达画线单词在句中所要表达的意思。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段关键句“At the ETH, workers try to reduce human connections with the elephants. They also try to increase bonds (联系) between the elephants.”（在ETH，工作人员试图减少人类与大象的联系。他们还试图增加大象之间的联系。）和“This program helps them return to the wild as members of a herd that will communicate with each other and take care of each other.”（这个项目帮助它们作为一个群体的成员返回野外，这个群体将相互交流并照顾彼此。）可知，ETH减少人类与大象的联系，是为了增加大象之间的联系，然后帮助它们作为一个群体的成员返回野外，由此可知，工人们减少了人类与大象的联系，是为了帮助它们作为一个群体返回野外。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“In the country of Sri Lanka, there is one place where elephants are not only protected but also respected. It is called Elephant Transit Home (ETH).”（在斯里兰卡，有一个地方，大象不仅受到保护，而且受到尊重。它被称为大象运输之家（ETH）。）和最后一段关键句“The ETH is considered as one of the best animal protection sites in the world.”（ETH被认为是世界上最好的动物保护区之一。）可知，本文主要介绍了一个名为ETH的动物保护区，旨在保护和照顾在野外受伤或没有母亲一起生活的小象，帮助小象回归野外，由此可知，这篇文章的目的是介绍一个动物保护项目。故选C项。

【17题详解】

【19题详解】
根据上文“When you learn about other cultures, you learn that there's more than one approach to life.( 当你了解其他文化时，你会发现生活不止一种方式)”，生活不只一种方式，E项表示你也会知道你自己的方法可能不是最好的。下文“Learning about other cultures allows you to move outside your own bubble, and find new ways of approaching problems.(学习其他文化可以让你走出自己的圈子，找到解决问题的新方法)”。你的方法可能不是最好的，那可以通过学习别的文化，去寻找到新的方法。E项承上启下。故选E项。
【20题详解】

考查连词。句意：埃尔诺一开始根据自己的生活创作小说，但很快就从小说转向了关于自己生活的真实故事。分析句子可知，句中“根据自己的生活创作小说”和“从小说转向了关于自己生活的真实故事”之间为转折关系，故应用连词“but”连接，表转折。故填but。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：她的书《一个男人的位置》讲述了她与父亲的关系，是第一本为她带来名声的书。分析句子可知，句中有系动词“was”，故空格处应用非谓语动词，“first”为序数词，故应用不定式“to bring”作后置定语。故填to bring。

Whether we notice it or not, our child is a little reflection of ourselves. They grow up looking more and more like us. They even have similar personalities and hobbies. And in some cases, the standard of choosing a good friend.
One day, my 10-year-old Jane said, “Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow ” Her words made me extremely happy because Jane was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell.
“Sure, honey, that sounds great.” I said, thinking back to my own childhood best friend, Susan. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter. I was shy and had trouble making friends. But Susan drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile. Thanks to Susan. I was happy every day.
In senior high school, Susan went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. “I’ll be back soon and I will write to you as soon as I arrive.” she told me. But I didn’t get her phone call nor receive any mail from her. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey, making my hope of seeing Susan impossible.
Whenever I thought of him, tears came into my eyes.
The next day Jane brought her new friend home. “Hi, Mrs. Smith.” the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she gave me a big smile. “My name is Jo. My mom will pick me up 2 hours later.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph1:
I was puzzled because my daughter’s new friend looked so familiar.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Two hours passed really quickly, and there was a knock on the door.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I was puzzled because my daughter’s new friend looked so familiar. But I was sure that I had never met Jo before. She told me that her family just moved from Los Angeles, which puzzled me even more because I had never been to Los Angeles and we had no relatives living in Los Angeles, either. I convinced myself that it was only my imagination. The two girls got on very well and they giggled from time to time. I watched them play and felt so happy for my daughter from the bottom of my heart.
Two hours passed really quickly, and there was a knock on the door. It was Jo’s mom coming to pick her up later that afternoon. On seeing her face, I was shocked. “Judy!” she cried. “It’s me, Susan!” We embraced each other. It turned out that her father’s company sent his father to Los Angeles before they settled in Florida. She tried calling me later but we had moved. The two little girls were happy to see their mothers became good friends at once before we told them our story, with happy tears rolling down our cheeks.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇读后续写作文。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，作者的女儿Jane想要邀请自己的朋友来家里，这让作者想起了自己童年时的好朋友Susan，回忆了当初和Susan相处的事情，后来因为作者搬家就没能再和Susan见面。第二天Jane把新朋友带回家，小女孩说自己叫Jo，她妈妈两个小时后来接她。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：我很困惑，因为我女儿的新朋友看起来很面熟。所以后文应该是讲述作者对于觉得Jo面熟的困惑，以及看到Jo和Jane两个女孩相处得很好，作者从心底里为女儿感到高兴。
第二段开头是：两个小时过得真快，有人敲门。本段应该写Jo的妈妈来接Jo，作者发现正是Susan，Susan曾经联系过作者，但作者一家已经搬走了。两个小女孩也很为他们高兴，Susan和作者都留下了快乐的泪水。
最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：puzzle sb.；convince oneself that；imagination；get on very well；turn out等高级词汇；She told me that her family just moved from Los Angeles, which puzzled me even more because I had never been to Los Angeles and we had no relatives living in Los Angeles, either.运用宾语从句和非限制性定语从句；The two little girls were happy to see their mothers became good friends at once before we told them our story, with happy tears rolling down our cheeks.运用时间状语从句等高级句式。

The parents of a young man with Down Syndrome (唐氏综合征) have made an incredible move to set up his future after he faced constant rejections when looking for work.
After graduation, Anthony, 19-year-old, should have faced multiple career choices about which door to open, but when he actually tried those doors, one after the other, it was locked. Danijela and John Vrkic, from Canberra, were genuinely concerned about their son's future. It was rather difficult for people with a disability, especially those with an intellectual disability, to find any type of work. Inspired by their son, they decided to leave their respective careers behind to build a business.
Mrs. Vrkic got to work armed with her traditional family recipe for "krofhe'', or doughnuts (甜甜圈)，which dates back over four generations. She tested the market by sharing her homemade krofne at her previous office with colleagues and friends. Fortunately, it proved to be a hit. After four years in business, there are Krofine Canberra pop-up shops at a number of shopping centres, and an online store is also available.
Today, Krofne is a much loved, disability-inclusive family business and a social enterprise in Canberra. Employment opportunities for people with special needs have been generated. The specially designed KINECT program has highlighted how important it is for people with a disability to feel valued and included in the community. Mrs. Vrkic is an incredibly passionate advocate for inclusivity. She feels if somebody has a disability, it doesn't necessarily mean that they can't work. What she would like to see is for Australia to be inclusive—that every organisation understands and employs the disabled. That is her goal.
On the International Day of People with Disabilities, Mrs. Vrkic was invited to speak at Parliament House. She said, “We're a very small fish in the sea, if our business can do it, why can't other people ”
4. What did the parents do incredibly
A. They made doughnuts to sell.
B. They raised a child with a disability.
C. They quit their jobs to help their son.
D. They weren't discouraged after losing jobs.
5. Why were Mrs. Vrkic's doughnuts popular
A. Because she drew the inspiration from her son.
B. Because she followed the recipe passed down in her family.
C. Because she applied the technique learned from her previous job.
D. Because she got assistance from her previous colleagues and friends.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Mrs. Vrkic
A. Caring and ambitious. B. Elegant and determined.
C. Humorous and brave. D. Passionate and curious.
7. What can be inferred from Mrs. Vrkic's saying
A. Her success can be followed.
B. Her business needs to be expanded.
C. Every business can succeed with united efforts.
D. Every business can offer the disabled assistance.
C
Students at an elementary school in California with the help of their art teacher, created a telephone hotline that people can call to get cheerful advice from kids during difficult times. In just days, the hotline began getting thousands of calls an hour.
Most people agree that with concerns like COVID-19, extreme weather, and the climate crisis, the last couple of years have been stressful.
Jessica Martin, who teaches art at West Side School in Healdsburg, California, thought her students just might have the magic words to bring calm to people in these difficult times. So Ms. Martin, along with artist Asherah Weiss, worked with students on a project they called “PepToc”.
The project had two parts-one was the hotline, and the other was creating encouraging posters. The two adults worked with students from kindergarten to sixth grade. They had the same basic question for all the students, “What could you say to help or encourage someone else “Students working on the hotline thought of what they would like to say. When they were ready, Ms. Martin recorded each one. Later, she sorted out the recordings into the different parts of the telephone hotline.
Pressing 1 brings up ideas for people who are “feeling mad, frustrated or nervous”. Helpful suggestions include “punch your pillow” or “go get a cookie”. Pressing 2 results in “words of encouragement and life advice”. By pressing 3, you can hear a group of kindergartners saying together: “You can do it! Keep trying, don’t give up!” Pressing 4 starts the sounds of children giggling and laughing-a sound certain to bring a smile to anyone’s face.
Ms. Martin thought the project would only attract interest from people near the school. But the hotline was soon getting hundreds of calls a day. Words of the hotline spread quickly on social media. The hotline has become incredibly popular with stressed adults, patients in hospitals, older people in homes, and others who just want to hear the happy voices of children.
8. Who came up with the idea of the project

In both Africa and Asia elephants are being threatened by changes in their natural habitats. People are moving into the elephants’ habitats and endangering their survival. In the country of Sri Lanka, there is one place where elephants are not only protected but also respected. It is called Elephant Transit Home (ETH).
Set up in 1995, the ETH aims to protect and care for baby elephants that are found injured or living without their mothers in the wild. Every year about 30 baby elephants in Sri Lanka need help. Many are brought to the ETH. There they are given food, shelter, and medical care. Most importantly, they are given the chance to be with other elephants and become part of a herd.
A day at the ETH begins early in the morning when the baby elephants are given their first feeding of milk. During the day, each baby will drink an average of 13 gallons of milk. Older elephants are fed mostly coconut leaves and other native plants. There are no boundaries in the area for the baby elephants as they have the freedom to walk wherever they want. The cost of caring for the baby elephants is high. The ETH spends about $125,000 each year on powdered milk for the baby elephants.
At the ETH, workers try to reduce human connections with the elephants. They also try to increase bonds (联系) between the elephants. It usually takes three years for a baby elephant to be set free into its natural habitat. The elephants are sent back to the wild together with other orphans with whom they have bonded. This program helps them return to the wild as members of a herd that will communicate with each other and take care of each other.
The ETH is considered as one of the best animal protection sites in the world. Not only are the elephants cared for, but they are treated with respect. Most importantly, they go back to live in the wild, where they belong.
12. What do we know about the ETH
A. It helps to keep baby elephants safe. B. It saves hundreds of elephants every year.
C. It aims to protect elephants from extinction. D. It changes elephants’ habitats for the better.
13. What does the underlined word “boundaries” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Extreme climates. B. Dividing lines.
C. Limited foods. D. Endangered species.
14. Why do the workers reduce human connections with the elephants
A. To train them to stay away from hunters.
B. To provide them with more living space.
C. To study them better in a natural environment.
D. To help them make it in the wild as a herd.
15. What’s the purpose of the text
A. To show the ways of wildlife protection. B. To explain the threat baby elephants face.
C. To introduce an animal protection project. D. To persuade the readers to protect elephants.

She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile. Thanks to Susan. I was happy every day.

But I didn’t get her phone call nor receive any mail from her. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey, making my hope of seeing Susan impossible.
Whenever I thought of him, tears came into my eyes.
