By the time Joy Ryan, a US grandma, turned 85, she had never seen the ocean or mountains. For Joy, trips to the local fishing area with her husband were about the farthest place she had ever gone, even if she loved watching the Travel Channel.
But one day Joy’s grandson, Brad Ryan, discovered that he and his grandma had a common interest in their love for traveling, when they began to visit the American great outdoors together.
Brad said, “When I learned my grandma had never seen the great wildernesses of America—deserts, mountains and oceans, I thought there was something I needed to do.” It was after taking his grandma out of Ohio on a visit to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park that he came up with the idea of visiting all the 63 US national parks with her to create inspiring memories.
Going to all the 63 US National Parks is a huge achievement even for a much younger adventurer (冒险家). Brad said his grandmother’s physical strength (体力) grew with their trips. For example, his grandma went water rafting (漂流) at 91, with class three rapids and when walking at the New River Gorge National Park in West Virginia, she broke the record by almost a decade!
It wasn’t always like this, however. Joy was so wobbly (不稳的) on her first trip, challenged by her balance. A group of college students clapped their hands when she reached the top of a path they were following.
Joy broke her age limitation (限制) and at the age of 93, she made history as the oldest living person to visit every US National Park. Joy believes it’s the mix of hopefulness, willpower, and the good health that gives her strength.
4. With whom did Joy Ryan visit all the 63 US national parks
A Her grandson. B. Her husband.
C. Her daughter. D. Her student.
5. What does Brad want to show by mentioning Joy Ryan’s water rafting at 91
A. She had a love for traveling.
B. Water rafting is dangerous for the old.
C. There is no age limitation for water rafting.
D. She had developed a strong body from traveling.
6. What is Joy Ryan’s challenge on her first trip
A Her memory. B. Her balance.
C. Her physical strength. D. Her sense of direction.
7. Which of the following can best describe Joy Ryan
A. Brave and hopeful. B. Humorous and outgoing.
C. Hard-working and helpful. D. Thoughtful and self-confident.
C
It happens in every disaster (灾难): For those in need, people often donate (捐赠) things that turn out to be more of a trouble.
Juanita Rilling remembers it happened in 1988 when she was a disaster expert trying to help people suffering from a hurricane (飓风) in Honduras. “One morning I received a call from one of our logistic operators (物流运营商), and he explained to me that there was a plane carrying medical supplies that needed to land,” says Rilling. “But the ground was full, with lots of donations that no one had required. The plane—full of needed supplies—had to find someplace else to go. And it ended up stopping everyone’s plans by about 48 hours, which is important time in a disaster.”
Rilling now runs the Center for International Disaster Information, which is trying to make sure things like that don’t happen again. So when Superstorm Sandy hit, Rilling’s group started a project to encourage money donation. “Even a small donation can make a big difference and can quickly become exactly what people affected by a disaster need most,” Rilling says. But despite this, donators do that over and over. About 60% of the things donated after a disaster couldn’t be used. Often it’s old clothing or food.
Meghan Hara, who deals with kind donations for the American Red Cross, says she knows that some people are careful with giving money. And she doesn’t think that the need to give something concrete (实物) should be completely stopped.
“Part of what people are doing is that they’re helping, and they’re trying to help. What we need to work out is how to effectively deal with that,” Hara says.
8. What caused needed supplies to be put off after the hurricane in 1988
A. Workers on the plane. B. A weather report.
C. Useless donations on the ground. D. The call from the operator.
9. What did Rilling’s group suggest donating when Superstorm Sandy hit
A. Clothing. B. Money. C. Medicine. D. Food.
10. What is Meghan Hara’s attitude towards donating concrete things
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Worried.
11. What might the author continue talking about
A. Studies on natural disasters.
B. The benefits of helping others.
C. Tips on choosing useful donations.
D. The ways of managing people’s donations.

Ritz has been teaching for nearly 10 years in a high school where the early graduation rate of the students was just 17%. He discovered a way to connect and intrigue these students, especially the ones who seemed the hardest to reach.
Once, he received a package of flower bulbs (球茎) which he mistakenly thought were onions. He was afraid that they might become weapons (武器) in a classroom fight, so he hid them behind a radiator (暖气片) and forgot about them.
Six weeks later, an angry girl ran after a boy who always made troubles. As usual, Ritz rushed towards them to break up what he thought was about to become a disaster. He saw the boy reach towards the radiator and thought he might have hidden a weapon there. To his surprise, the boy suddenly pulled out a bunch of yellow flowers and gave them to the girl as a peace offering. The girl decided to take the flowers home to her mother and peace came back.
The forgotten bulbs were actually daffodils (黄水仙). The steam from the radiator had forced them into flowers. From such an experience, Ritz realized that if there was power in plants to stop a classroom fight, there must be power in plants to change students’ lives. He turned the moment of growing plants into a green course, a movement that would change his life and the lives of his students. He designed vegetable gardens into part of the school ground and on top of a building.
Ritz’s students now have near-perfect attendance and graduation rates. His efforts have led him to be a great teacher who uses the power of a plant to give a voice to children.
12. What does the underlined word “intrigue” mean in paragraph 1
A. Interest. B. Protect. C. Punish. D. Challenge.
13. What stopped the fight between the boy and the girl
A. The radiator. B. A tasty dish.
C. Some yellow flowers. D. The teacher’s words.
14. How are Ritz’s students affected by his green course
A. They have low attendance. B. They become the hardest to reach.
C. They know how to make weapons. D. They fall in love with learning.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. What a Classroom Needs for a Fight
B Why a Plant Has an Effect on Students
C. How a Teacher Changes His Students
D. How a Teacher Becomes Popular

It was a beautiful day for sightseeing. We were a group of students just out for some fun. The weather was perfect for a picnic, so when lunch time came, we set our sights on a small park. Since we all had different things to buy, we decided to get what each of us wanted, and meet back on the grass in a few minutes.
When my friend Joy headed for a hot dog shop, I decided to go with her. We watched the seller put together the perfect hot dog, just the way we wanted it. But when we took out our money to pay the bill, the seller surprised us.
“You are the first customers to visit, and the first order is given to you for free,” he said.
After we thanked him, we joined our friends in the park, and dug into our food. But as we talked and ate, I was distracted (分心) by a man sitting alone nearby, looking at us. I could tell that he hadn’t showered for days. Another homeless person, I thought, like all the others you see in cities. I didn’t pay much more attention than that.

It happens in every disaster (灾难): For those in need, people often donate (捐赠) things that turn out to be more of a trouble.
Juanita Rilling remembers it happened in 1988 when she was a disaster expert trying to help people suffering from a hurricane (飓风) in Honduras. “One morning I received a call from one of our logistic operators (物流运营商), and he explained to me that there was a plane carrying medical supplies that needed to land,” says Rilling. “But the ground was full, with lots of donations that no one had required. The plane—full of needed supplies—had to find someplace else to go. And it ended up stopping everyone’s plans by about 48 hours, which is important time in a disaster.”
Rilling now runs the Center for International Disaster Information, which is trying to make sure things like that don’t happen again. So when Superstorm Sandy hit, Rilling’s group started a project to encourage money donation. “Even a small donation can make a big difference and can quickly become exactly what people affected by a disaster need most,” Rilling says. But despite this, donators do that over and over. About 60% of the things donated after a disaster couldn’t be used. Often it’s old clothing or food.
Meghan Hara, who deals with kind donations for the American Red Cross, says she knows that some people are careful with giving money. And she doesn’t think that the need to give something concrete (实物) should be completely stopped.
“Part of what people are doing is that they’re helping, and they’re trying to help. What we need to work out is how to effectively deal with that,” Hara says.
8. What caused needed supplies to be put off after the hurricane in 1988
A. Workers on the plane. B. A weather report.
C. Useless donations on the ground. D. The call from the operator.
9. What did Rilling’s group suggest donating when Superstorm Sandy hit
A. Clothing. B. Money. C. Medicine. D. Food.
10. What is Meghan Hara’s attitude towards donating concrete things
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Worried.
11. What might the author continue talking about
A. Studies on natural disasters.
B. The benefits of helping others.
C. Tips on choosing useful donations.
D. The ways of managing people’s donations.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章谈论了在救灾时，如何进行有效的捐赠。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But the ground was full, with lots of donations that no one had required. The plane—full of needed supplies—had to find someplace else to go. And it ended up stopping everyone’s plans by about 48 hours, which is important time in a disaster. (但是场地是满的，有很多没有人需要的捐款。这架满载所需物资的飞机不得不找其他地方去。结果导致每个人的计划延迟了大约48小时，这在灾难中是非常重要的时间。)”可知，场地上的没用的捐赠物造成装载有应急物资的飞机无法降落，导致所需供应被推迟。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“So when Superstorm Sandy hit, Rilling’s group started a project to encourage money donation. (因此，当飓风Sandy来袭时，Rilling的团队启动了一个鼓励捐款的项目。)”可知，当飓风来袭时，Rilling的团队建议人们捐赠钱。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“And she doesn’t think that the need to give something concrete(实物) should be completely stopped. (她认为需要给予具体的东西不应该完全停止。)”可知，Meghan Hara对人们捐赠实物是支持的。故选A项。
【11题详解】

Ritz has been teaching for nearly 10 years in a high school where the early graduation rate of the students was just 17%. He discovered a way to connect and intrigue these students especially the ones who seemed the hardest to reach.
Once, he received a package of flower bulbs (球茎) which he mistakenly thought were onions. He was afraid that they might become weapons (武器) in a classroom fight, so he hid them behind a radiator (暖气片) and forgot about them.
Six weeks later, an angry girl ran after a boy who always made troubles. As usual, Ritz rushed towards them to break up what he thought was about to become a disaster. He saw the boy reach towards the radiator and thought he might have hidden a weapon there. To his surprise, the boy suddenly pulled out a bunch of yellow flowers and gave them to the girl as a peace offering. The girl decided to take the flowers home to her mother and peace came back.
The forgotten bulbs were actually daffodils (黄水仙). The steam from the radiator had forced them into flowers. From such an experience, Ritz realized that if there was power in plants to stop a classroom fight, there must be power in plants to change students’ lives. He turned the moment of growing plants into a green course, a movement that would change his life and the lives of his students. He designed vegetable gardens into part of the school ground and on top of a building.
Ritz’s students now have near-perfect attendance and graduation rates. His efforts have led him to be a great teacher who uses the power of a plant to give a voice to children.
12. What does the underlined word “intrigue” mean in paragraph 1
A. Interest. B. Protect. C. Punish. D. Challenge.
13. What stopped the fight between the boy and the girl
A. The radiator. B. A tasty dish.
C. Some yellow flowers. D. The teacher’s words.
14. How are Ritz’s students affected by his green course
A. They have low attendance. B. They become the hardest to reach.
C. They know how to make weapons. D. They fall in love with learning.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. What a Classroom Needs for a Fight
B. Why a Plant Has an Effect on Students
C. How a Teacher Changes His Students
D. How a Teacher Becomes Popular
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了被Ritz遗忘的黄水仙花平息了学生间的冲突，由此Ritz想到了开设绿色种植课程，这门课提高了学生的学习兴趣，增加了其出勤率和毕业率。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词前“He discovered a way to connect...(他发现了一种关联和……这些学生)”可知，Ritz发现了一种方法可以把这些学生关联起来，结合画线词后的 “...especially the ones who seemed the hardest to reach.(……尤其是那些看起来最难接触的学生。)”可知，他找到的方法应该是可以把这些学生关联起来，尤其是那些不易接触的学生，分析句子结构可知，划线单词与“关联”为并列关系，结合尾段中的“Ritz’s students now have near-perfect attendance and graduation rates. (Ritz的学生现在有近乎完美的出勤率和毕业率。)”可知，Ritz的学生出勤率和毕业率近乎完美，由此可推断，Ritz应该是找到了方法能够让学生喜欢上了学习，所以画线单词与“interest(使感兴趣)”的意思最为接近。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To his surprise, the boy suddenly pulled out a bunch of yellow flowers and gave them to the girl as a peace offering. The girl decided to take the flowers home to her mother and peace came back. (令他惊讶的是，男孩突然抽出一束黄色的花，送给女孩作为和平的礼物。女孩决定把花带回家给妈妈，平静又回来了。)”可知，男孩抽出一束花送给女孩作为和平的礼物，战争结束，由此可知，男孩和女孩之间的打闹是被Ritz遗忘的黄水仙花平息的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Ritz’s students now have near-perfect attendance and graduation rates. His efforts have led him to be a great teacher who uses the power of a plant to give a voice to children. (Ritz的学生现在有近乎完美的出勤率和毕业率。他的努力使他成为一名伟大的老师，他利用植物的力量为孩子们发声。)”可知，Ritz开设的绿色种植课程使得他的学生出勤率和毕业率近乎完美，由此可知，他的绿色种植课程提高了学生的学习兴趣。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“He discovered a way to connect and intrigue these students, especially the ones who seemed the hardest to reach. (他发现了一种关联和吸引这些学生的方法，尤其是那些看起来最难接触的学生。)”可知，Ritz找到了一种可以关联和吸引学生的方法，结合下文中介绍的Ritz是如何发现的这种方法以及这种方法是什么，以及尾段“Ritz’s students now have near-perfect attendance and graduation rates. (Ritz的学生现在有近乎完美的出勤率和毕业率。)”可知，Ritz所发现的方法改变了学生，综合以上信息，本文主要讲述了被Ritz遗忘的黄水仙花平息了学生间的冲突，由此Ritz想到了开设绿色种植课程，这门课提高了学生的学习兴趣，增加了其出勤率和毕业率，所以题目“老师如何改变他的学生”与本文的内容一致，且可以概括全文的主题，可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选C项。

第二节（满分25分）
47. 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。
It was a beautiful day for sightseeing. We were a group of students just out for some fun. The weather was perfect for a picnic, so when lunch time came, we set our sights on a small park. Since we all had different things to buy, we decided to get what each of us wanted, and meet back on the grass in a few minutes.
When my friend Joy headed for a hot dog shop, I decided to go with her. We watched the seller put together the perfect hot dog, just the way we wanted it. But when we took out our money to pay the bill, the seller surprised us.
“You are the first customers to visit, and the first order is given to you for free,” he said.
After we thanked him we joined our friends in the park, and dug into our food. But as we talked and ate, I was distracted (分心) by a man sitting alone nearby, looking at us. I could tell that he hadn’t showered for days. Another homeless person, I thought, like all the others you see in cities. I didn’t pay much more attention than that.
After we finished eating, we packed our lunch bags and prepared to throw them away.

【答案】Suddenly, a strong voice came from that homeless person. He said, “Excuse me, would you mind sparing a meal for a hungry soul ” His words struck a chord in my heart, reminding me of the privilege and abundance that I often take for granted. Feeling a mix of guilt and compassion, I turned to face him. As we talked, I discovered that he was once an accomplished musician, full of dreams and aspirations. It was disheartening to hear how circumstances had pushed him to this point of desperation.
Joy asked me to wait for her for a minute and ran to the hot dog shop. She returned with an extra hot dog and a bottle of water in her hands. She handed them to the homeless man with a warm smile. His eyes sparkled with appreciation as he accepted the food. As I watched the exchange, a wave of realization washed over me. This encounter was more than just a random act of kindness; it was a reminder of the power we hold to make a difference in someone's life. I felt a renewed sense of empathy and the urge to do more.

【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章主要描述了一群学生在一个美丽的天气里外出游玩。他们决定一起去一个小公园野餐，但在前往公园的路上，主人公注意到一个衣衫褴褛的流浪汉在注视着他们。尽管主人公并没有特别留意，但这个情景一直在他心中挥之不去。
