Like many great ideas, Mike started small. In 2014, a friend inspired him to perform an act of kindness as a social media challenge.
Mike decided to choose the 79-year-old senior named Jennifer who not only dropped off baked goods for the neighbors but also volunteered at the homeless shelter. To know Jennifer better, Mike asked to spend a day with her. “It was the first time that someone had made a day about her,” says the 30-year-old.
Their shared experience got Mike thinking: how many other seniors might benefit from that kind of attention At the time, Cara, a student in their community, was equally interested in this question, and the pair came up with a plan: they would find local seniors with long-time dreams and work to fulfill those wishes. They even settled on a name for their new charity: We Are Young, or WAY for short. It has since delivered on 38 dreams—ranging from a helicopter trip to watching a football game.
Seniors can nominate (提名) themselves or be nominated by someone else. Melanie nominated her partner, 78-year-old Victor, to go rockhounding-a hobby he’d given up when he became physically difficult. The team at WAY borrowed a boat so they could reach the beach and enjoy the day there.
“If you lose the sense of purpose that having a passion can give you, your self-confidence goes down,” says Mike. “Now, Victor has retrieved some of his self-confidence. We want to show that anything is possible with the support of others.”
While their organization operates only in their neighborhood, Mike and Cara have their own dreams. Each WAY wish is recorded, and that’s purposeful—the pair want people watching to be encouraged to fulfill a wish for a senior in their own community. “We want to create a nationwide movement that shifts how we view, value and support seniors,” says Mike. “That is the impact we’re trying to create.”
4. Why did Mike choose Jennifer to perform acts of kindness
A. She lived alone and could hardly cook. B. She had difficulty in using social media.
C. She was always friendly to the neighbors. D. She was sent to the homeless shelter recently.
5. Which of the following citizens would probably benefit from WAY
A. A charity member planning to collect birthday wishes.
B. An elderly hoping to revisit his birthplace for a long time.
C. A senior high student looking forward to a trip to England.
D. A caretaker in the nursing home expecting a bunch of flowers.
6. What does the underlined word “retrieved” in paragraph 6 probably mean
A. regained B. reserved C. remembered D. resolved
7. What is the pair’s purpose of recording the WAY wishes
A. To keep track of the whole process. B. To inspire more viewers to take action.
C. To invite more elderly to participate in. D. To give encouragement to those in need.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了慈善组织WAY致力于帮助老年人实现心愿。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Mike decided to choose the 79-year-old senior named Jennifer, who not only dropped off baked goods for the neighbors but also volunteered at the homeless shelter. (迈克决定选择79岁的老人詹妮弗，她不仅给邻居们送烘焙食品，还在无家可归者收容所做志愿者。)”可知，迈克选择詹妮弗去做善事是因为她对邻居总是很友好。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“At the time, Cara, a student in their community, was equally interested in this question, and the pair came up with a plan: they would find local seniors with long-time dreams and work to fulfill those wishes. (当时，他们社区的学生卡拉对这个问题同样感兴趣，于是两人想出了一个计划：他们会找到当地有长期梦想的老年人，并努力实现这些愿望。)”可知，B选项“一位老人长期以来一直希望重游他的出生地。”可能会从WAY中受益。故选B。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“If you lose the sense of purpose that having a passion can give you, your self-confidence goes down (如果你失去了激情带给你的目标感，你的自信就会下降)”以及后文“We want to show that anything is possible with the support of others. (我们想表明，在他人的支持下，一切皆有可能。)”可知，维克多在他人的支持下，恢复了一些自信。故划线词意思是“恢复”。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Each WAY wish is recorded, and that’s purposeful—the pair want people watching to be encouraged to fulfill a wish for a senior in their own community. (每一个愿望都被记录下来，这是有目的的——两人希望观看的人被鼓励为他们自己社区的老年人实现一个愿望。)”可推知，两人记录WAY愿望的目的是激励更多的观众采取行动。故选B。
C
Growing up on a farm in Virginia during racial segregation (种族隔离) , West knew education would be her means of escape. But she didn’t know her quiet work would change lives around the world.
Gladys West knew from a young age that she didn’t want to be a farmer. But the mathematician, born in 1930 in a county, still had to help harvest crops on her family’s small farm. The hard work started before daybreak and lasted well into the blistering heat of the afternoon. She hated the dirt but, while she worked, she kept her mind on the building behind the trees at the end of the farm. It was her school, and even then she knew it would be her ticket to freedom. “I was gonna get an education and I was going to get out of there. I wasn’t going to be stuck there all my life,” West, 89, says firmly.
Gladys West began her career as a mathematician in 1956 in a lab where there were only three other black employees when she joined. She was widely admired for her ability to solve complex mathematical problems by hand. She eventually went on to program computers to solve the equations (等式) for her. Her first major project was to determine the movements of Neptune and Pluto in relation to each other. In 1978, Gladys became the Project Manager of SeaSat, an surveillance (监控) satellite designed to provide data on oceanographic features and conditions. The project was among the first to show that satellites can be used to observe oceanographic data. By programming a computer to account for tides, gravity, and other factors, Gladys and her team created a program to precisely calculate the orbit of satellites. Her work on this project made it possible to develop a geoid, which is a model of the shape of the Earth. The model and its later updates led to her developing the GPS system, which can make accurate calculations in any location on Earth.
Finally in 2018, through her tireless efforts, Gladys West received formal recognition for her work on the GPS. Her name also got featured on the BBC’s 100 Women of 2018, which honored inspiring women from around the globe.
8. What can we learn in paragraph 2
A. Gladys became a mathematician when working as a farmer.
B. Gladys had to raise her family by working hard on the farm.
C. Gladys was eager to get out of the poor situation for freedom.
D. Gladys could not pay for school education when she was young.
9. What directly contributed to the development of the GPS system
A. The orbit of the satellites. B. The movements of the planets.
C. An equation. D. The model of Earth shape.
10. Which of the following best describe Gladys West
A. Helpful and easygoing. B. Determined and competent.
C. Devoted and considerate. D. Optimistic and thankful.
11. Which is the best title of the passage
A. How to Escape from Poverty
B. How to Become a Mathematician
C. Gladys West: the Hidden Figure Who Helped Invented GPS
D. Gladys West: A Girl Who Struggled to Realize Her Dreams
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. C

Do you speak a Chinese dialect in your daily life While Mandarin is widely spoken by people across China, some local dialects are in danger of dying out. To save them, the Ministry of Education and the State Language Commission launched the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project CLRPP years ago.
This project, which surveyed the language resources of 1,712 locations including 103 with endangered Chinese dialects, has helped China successfully build the largest language resource library in the world. The online library not only meets the needs of professional researchers but also enables the public to access over 5.6 million audio files and over 5 million video files for their dialect learning.
When it comes to the reason, Dr. Zhang, chief expert on CLRPP, once expressed his concerns in an article. “For about over a decade, in Wu dialect areas, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. Young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not fluently, Zhang said. “If this continues, dialects will disappear in a few decades. When local dialects disappear, where will our nostalgic (怀旧的) feelings find their home ”
As China is a vast country with a wide variety of dialects, national efforts have been made to establish a language resource library. “Most international language protection projects are implemented by separate efforts. But in China, it’s a national project,” said Zhang. Within five years, more than 350 universities and research institutions took part in the project, with over 4,500 professional technicians and more than 6,000 language dialect speakers involved.
Language protection not only relies on the government and experts but also on the involvement of billions of language users. The project supports schools to set up some extracurricular classes so students can learn dialects and local opera performances. Currently, the second stage of the project is underway. Its main tasks include the deeper development of digital applications, such as digital and mobile dictionaries for dialects as well as multilingual textbooks.
12. What do we know about CLRPP
A. It has provided a large number of audio and video files for researchers.
B. It has saved at least 103 endangered Chinese dialects from 1,712 locations.
C. It has played a vital role in setting up an online library for dialect learning.
D. It has made a collection of all the endangered dialects in different locations.
13. What can we infer from Dr. Zhang’s words
A. Young children in Wu area can no more speak the dialect.
B. Natives have urgent desire to save the dialects in the future.
C. The fluency of local dialects raised much concern nationwide.
D. People may lose a sense of belonging as local dialects die out.
14. What differs China with other countries in language protection
A. Only China has libraries for protection of language resource.
B. Chinese government has invested more on language protection.
C. China is home to more types of dialects than other countries do.
D. People in China made joint efforts to protect their local dialects.
15. Which is helpful to language protection
A. Promotion of local opera performances.
B. Mobile dictionaries for Chinese learning.
C. Further exploration of existing textbooks.
D. Extracurricular classes of digital development.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. A
【解析】

The online library not only meets the needs of professional researchers but also enables the public to access over 5.6 million audio files and over 5 million video files for their dialect learning.(该工程调查了1712个地区的语言资源，其中包括103个濒危汉语方言，帮助中国成功建立了世界上最大的语言资源图书馆。该在线图书馆不仅满足了专业研究人员的需求，还使公众能够访问560多万个音频文件和500多万个视频文件，用于方言学习。)”可知，该工程帮助建立了世界上最大的语言资源图书馆，不仅可以满足专业研究人员的需求，还使公众能够利用音频和视频文件学习方言。由此可推测出，它在建立用于方言学习的在线图书馆方面发挥了重要作用。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中Dr. Zhang的话“When local dialects disappear, where will our nostalgic(怀旧的) feelings find their home (当地方方言消失时，我们的怀旧之情将在哪里找到归宿？)”可知，张博士认为方言的消失会让人们的怀旧之情难以找到归宿，由此可推测出，当方言消失时，人们可能失去归属感。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“As China is a vast country with a wide variety of dialects, national efforts have been made to establish a language resource library. ‘Most international language protection projects are implemented by separate efforts. But in China, it’s a national project,’ said Zhang.(由于中国幅员辽阔，方言种类繁多，全国都在努力建立语言资源库。张说：‘大多数国际语言保护项目都是单独实施的。但在中国，这是一个国家项目。’)”可知，其他国家的语言保护项目都是单独实施的，但中国，保护语言是一个国家项目，全国都贡献了努力。由此可推测出，中国和其他国家在语言保护方面的不同之处在于中国人民共同努力保护方言。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The project supports schools to set up some extracurricular classes so students can learn dialects and local opera performances.(该项目支持学校开设一些课外班，让学生学习方言和当地戏曲表演。)”可知，开设课外班促进学生学习当地戏曲表演有助于语言保护。故选A。

【16题详解】
前文“While that seems to describe the ability of many professionals, some leaders in organizations today have a strong feeling that this ability is fading. (虽然这似乎描述了许多专业人士的能力，但今天组织中的一些领导人强烈感觉到这种能力正在消退。)”讲述了批判性思考的能力正在衰退，再结合下文分段讲述的建议可知，空处应用承上启下，指出接下来有帮助培养批判性思考技能的策略，G项“以下策略将帮助你和你的团队培养批判性思维技能。”符合题意。故选G。
【17题详解】
本段首句“Be a continuous learner. (做一个不断学习的人。)”是主旨句，本段主要讲述的是要不断学习。空处应和学习有关，D项“基本上，他们不用吩咐就会自我教育。”符合题意，下文中的This指代空处的内容。故选D。
【18题详解】
前文“Critical thinkers put their egos aside and think about what is best for the overall organization. (批判性思考者把自我放在一边，思考什么对整个组织最有利。)”讲述了进行批判性思考的人会把注意集中在整个组织上，而不是个人上，后文“However, their goal is seeking to understand and then making a clear and rational decision that is best for the majority. (然而，他们的目标是寻求理解，然后做出对大多数人最有利的清晰合理的决定。)”中的However表明空处与后文是转折关系，后文讲述了他们的目标是做出对大多数人最有利的决定，由此可知，空处应讲述对整个组织最有利的事情对个人来说不是最好的，C项“也许这对个人来说不是最好的解决方案。”符合题意。故选C。
【19题详解】
空前的“Listen and consider unconventional opinions. (倾听并考虑非传统观点。)”是本段主旨句，建议要倾听并考虑非传统观点，所以空处应讲述的是进行批判性思考的人会寻找新的方法，E项“批判性思考者倾向于为旧问题寻找新的解决方案。”符合题意。故选E。
【20题详解】
空处是本段主旨句，且应用祈使句。根据后文中的“Critical thinkers develop a skill for explaining to others why they came to a specific conclusion. Others can follow their reasoning and can understand their thinking. (批判性思考者培养了向他人解释他们为什么会得出特定结论的技能。其他人可以遵循他们的推理，理解他们的想法。)”可知，本段主要讲述了批判性思考者会向他人解析自己推理的过程，让别人理解自己，所以A项“分析自己。”符合题意。故选A。

It was no surprise to anyone when Ellie decided to plan the perfect birthday party for her best friend, Sarah.
Ellie spent weeks carefully selecting the perfect decorations, choosing the tastiest snacks, and coming up with the most fun activities for Sarah’s birthday party. She even created a detailed plan for the day, down to the minute. Everything was going according to plan until the unexpected happened.
As the party guests arrived, Ellie was excited to show them all the amazing activities she had planned. However, when she led everyone to the backyard for the first activity, she was shocked to find that the stage she had rented for performing programs was nowhere to be found. Ellie’s heart sank as she realized that her perfect plan was falling apart.
In a panic, Ellie tried to come up with a solution. She called the rental company, but they had no record of her reservation.

Like many great ideas, Mike started small. In 2014, a friend inspired him to perform an act of kindness as a social media challenge.
Mike decided to choose the 79-year-old senior named Jennifer, who not only dropped off baked goods for the neighbors but also volunteered at the homeless shelter. To know Jennifer better, Mike asked to spend a day with her. “It was the first time that someone had made a day about her,” says the 30-year-old.
Their shared experience got Mike thinking: how many other seniors might benefit from that kind of attention At the time, Cara, a student in their community, was equally interested in this question, and the pair came up with a plan: they would find local seniors with long-time dreams and work to fulfill those wishes. They even settled on a name for their new charity: We Are Young, or WAY for short. It has since delivered on 38 dreams—ranging from a helicopter trip to watching a football game.
Seniors can nominate (提名) themselves or be nominated by someone else. Melanie nominated her partner, 78-year-old Victor, to go rockhounding-a hobby he’d given up when he became physically difficult. The team at WAY borrowed a boat so they could reach the beach and enjoy the day there.
“If you lose the sense of purpose that having a passion can give you, your self-confidence goes down,” says Mike. “Now, Victor has retrieved some of his self-confidence. We want to show that anything is possible with the support of others.”
While their organization operates only in their neighborhood, Mike and Cara have their own dreams. Each WAY wish is recorded, and that’s purposeful—the pair want people watching to be encouraged to fulfill a wish for a senior in their own community. “We want to create a nationwide movement that shifts how we view, value and support seniors,” says Mike. “That is the impact we’re trying to create.”
4. Why did Mike choose Jennifer to perform acts of kindness
A. She lived alone and could hardly cook. B. She had difficulty in using social media.
C. She was always friendly to the neighbors. D. She was sent to the homeless shelter recently.
5. Which of the following citizens would probably benefit from WAY
A. A charity member planning to collect birthday wishes.
B. An elderly hoping to revisit his birthplace for a long time.
C. A senior high student looking forward to a trip to England.
D. A caretaker in the nursing home expecting a bunch of flowers.
6. What does the underlined word “retrieved” in paragraph 6 probably mean
A. regained B. reserved C. remembered D. resolved
7. What is the pair’s purpose of recording the WAY wishes
A. To keep track of the whole process. B. To inspire more viewers to take action.
C. To invite more elderly to participate in. D. To give encouragement to those in need.

Growing up on a farm in Virginia during racial segregation (种族隔离) , West knew education would be her means of escape. But she didn’t know her quiet work would change lives around the world.
Gladys West knew from a young age that she didn’t want to be a farmer. But the mathematician, born in 1930 in a county, still had to help harvest crops on her family’s small farm. The hard work started before daybreak and lasted well into the blistering heat of the afternoon. She hated the dirt but, while she worked, she kept her mind on the building behind the trees at the end of the farm. It was her school, and even then she knew it would be her ticket to freedom. “I was gonna get an education and I was going to get out of there. I wasn’t going to be stuck there all my life,” West, 89, says firmly.
Gladys West began her career as a mathematician in 1956 in a lab where there were only three other black employees when she joined. She was widely admired for her ability to solve complex mathematical problems by hand. She eventually went on to program computers to solve the equations (等式) for her. Her first major project was to determine the movements of Neptune and Pluto in relation to each other. In 1978, Gladys became the Project Manager of SeaSat, an surveillance (监控) satellite designed to provide data on oceanographic features and conditions. The project was among the first to show that satellites can be used to observe oceanographic data. By programming a computer to account for tides, gravity, and other factors, Gladys and her team created a program to precisely calculate the orbit of satellites. Her work on this project made it possible to develop a geoid, which is a model of the shape of the Earth. The model and its later updates led to her developing the GPS system, which can make accurate calculations in any location on Earth.
Finally in 2018, through her tireless efforts, Gladys West received formal recognition for her work on the GPS. Her name also got featured on the BBC’s 100 Women of 2018, which honored inspiring women from around the globe.
8. What can we learn in paragraph 2
A. Gladys became a mathematician when working as a farmer.
B. Gladys had to raise her family by working hard on the farm.
C. Gladys was eager to get out of the poor situation for freedom.
D. Gladys could not pay for school education when she was young.
9. What directly contributed to the development of the GPS system
A. The orbit of the satellites. B. The movements of the planets.
C. An equation. D. The model of Earth shape.
10. Which of the following best describe Gladys West
A. Helpful and easygoing. B. Determined and competent.
C. Devoted and considerate. D. Optimistic and thankful.
11. Which is the best title of the passage
A. How to Escape from Poverty
B. How to Become a Mathematician
C. Gladys West: the Hidden Figure Who Helped Invented GPS
D. Gladys West: A Girl Who Struggled to Realize Her Dreams

Do you speak a Chinese dialect in your daily life While Mandarin is widely spoken by people across China, some local dialects are in danger of dying out. To save them, the Ministry of Education and the State Language Commission launched the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project CLRPP years ago.
This project, which surveyed the language resources of 1,712 locations including 103 with endangered Chinese dialects, has helped China successfully build the largest language resource library in the world. The online library not only meets the needs of professional researchers but also enables the public to access over 5.6 million audio files and over 5 million video files for their dialect learning.
When it comes to the reason, Dr. Zhang, chief expert on CLRPP, once expressed his concerns in an article. “For about over a decade, in Wu dialect areas, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. Young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not fluently, Zhang said. “If this continues, dialects will disappear in a few decades. When local dialects disappear, where will our nostalgic (怀旧的) feelings find their home ”
As China is a vast country with a wide variety of dialects, national efforts have been made to establish a language resource library. “Most international language protection projects are implemented by separate efforts. But in China, it’s a national project,” said Zhang. Within five years, more than 350 universities and research institutions took part in the project, with over 4,500 professional technicians and more than 6,000 language dialect speakers involved.
Language protection not only relies on the government and experts but also on the involvement of billions of language users. The project supports schools to set up some extracurricular classes so students can learn dialects and local opera performances. Currently, the second stage of the project is underway. Its main tasks include the deeper development of digital applications, such as digital and mobile dictionaries for dialects as well as multilingual textbooks.
12 What do we know about CLRPP
A. It has provided a large number of audio and video files for researchers.
B. It has saved at least 103 endangered Chinese dialects from 1,712 locations.
C. It has played a vital role in setting up an online library for dialect learning.
D. It has made a collection of all the endangered dialects in different locations.
13. What can we infer from Dr. Zhang’s words
A. Young children in Wu area can no more speak the dialect.
B. Natives have urgent desire to save the dialects in the future.
C. The fluency of local dialects raised much concern nationwide.
D. People may lose a sense of belonging as local dialects die out.
14. What differs China with other countries in language protection
A. Only China has libraries for protection of language resource.
B. Chinese government has invested more on language protection.
C. China is home to more types of dialects than other countries do.
D. People in China made joint efforts to protect their local dialects.
15. Which is helpful to language protection
A. Promotion of local opera performances.
B. Mobile dictionaries for Chinese learning.
C. Further exploration of existing textbooks.
