The Scout’s (童子军) slogan is “Do a Good Turn Daily.” In Troop 506 of Ham Lake, a 13-year-old Scout Jonathan is pioneering new trails when it comes to “good turns.”
Like many troops, 506 sells popcorn to raise money. Many Scouts fear trying to convince people to buy from them. But in 2019, Jonathan watched as kids who’d made $1,800 or more in sales crossed a stage to receive a Lego set as a reward. “I really wanted that Lego set,” he says.
The next year, he earned his Legos. But Troop 506 doesn’t just give out Lego sets. Under its generous reward program, Scouts receive a percentage of their sales in gift cards and cash points for activities. Inspired, Jonathan spent the next few years developing an astonishing skill for selling.
Popcorn too expensive A simple donation will do. No cash He also takes plastic. He marched into a car dealership and struck a deal with the dealer: In all his sales efforts, he’d wear a mask with the company’s logo if the owner would buy popcorn for all his employees.
Jonathan started pulling down jaw-dropping numbers. In 2021, he was a top seller and earning $5,000. He might have spent it on himself, but he had other ideas. The holidays were on his mind - particularly the stories his father had told him about his own days in foster care where the real Christmas-morning experience his father was once denied.
“They didn’t really have Christmas,” Jonathan says. With $5,000, he could bring Christmas to a lot of kids. He shifted from big seller to big spender, hand-selecting $5,000 worth of gifts for several kids. “It really makes me happy,” he says, “the feeling that I’m making those kids happy on Christmas.”
“This is the reason why we do Scouting. Jonathan’s a great example for all of us” says his scoutmaster, Aaron Miller.
32. Why did Jonathan decide to sell popcorn
A. To raise money for cash points.
B. To stand out in an Scouting activity.
C. To receive a reward from the troop.
D. To win gift cards for Christmas gifts.
33. What does paragraph 4 show
A. Jonathan’s persuasive ability.
B. Jonathan’s ambitious nature.
C. Jonathan’s determination to win.
D. Jonathan’s excellent selling strategies.
34. What inspired Jonathan to spend the money on children’s Christmas gifts
A. The Scout Slogan. B. The holiday atmosphere.
C. His father’s experience in foster care. D. Troop 506’s reward program.
35. What may be a suitable title for the text
A. A Scout Plays Santa B. Be a Top Popcorn Seller.
C. A Slogan Enjoys Popularity. D. Go for Scouting Activities

The Scout’s (童子军) slogan is “Do a Good Turn Daily.” In Troop 506 of Ham Lake, a 13-year-old Scout Jonathan is pioneering new trails when it comes to “good turns.”
Like many troops, 506 sells popcorn to raise money. Many Scouts fear trying to convince people to buy from them. But in 2019, Jonathan watched as kids who’d made $1,800 or more in sales crossed a stage to receive a Lego set as a reward. “I really wanted that Lego set,” he says.
The next year, he earned his Legos. But Troop 506 doesn’t just give out Lego sets. Under its generous reward program, Scouts receive a percentage of their sales in gift cards and cash points for activities. Inspired, Jonathan spent the next few years developing an astonishing skill for selling.
Popcorn too expensive A simple donation will do. No cash He also takes plastic. He marched into a car dealership and struck a deal with the dealer: In all his sales efforts, he’d wear a mask with the company’s logo if the owner would buy popcorn for all his employees.
Jonathan started pulling down jaw-dropping numbers. In 2021, he was a top seller and earning $5,000. He might have spent it on himself, but he had other ideas. The holidays were on his mind - particularly the stories his father had told him about his own days in foster care where the real Christmas-morning experience his father was once denied.
“They didn’t really have Christmas,” Jonathan says. With $5,000, he could bring Christmas to a lot of kids. He shifted from big seller to big spender, hand-selecting $5,000 worth of gifts for several kids. “It really makes me happy,” he says, “the feeling that I’m making those kids happy on Christmas.”
“This is the reason why we do Scouting. Jonathan’s a great example for all of us” says his scoutmaster, Aaron Miller.
32. Why did Jonathan decide to sell popcorn
A To raise money for cash points.
B. To stand out in an Scouting activity.
C. To receive a reward from the troop.
D. To win gift cards for Christmas gifts.
33. What does paragraph 4 show
A. Jonathan’s persuasive ability.
B. Jonathan’s ambitious nature.
C. Jonathan’s determination to win.
D. Jonathan’s excellent selling strategies.
34. What inspired Jonathan to spend the money on children’s Christmas gifts
A. The Scout Slogan. B. The holiday atmosphere.
C. His father’s experience in foster care. D. Troop 506’s reward program.
35. What may be a suitable title for the text
A. A Scout Plays Santa B. Be a Top Popcorn Seller.
C. A Slogan Enjoys Popularity. D. Go for Scouting Activities
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲哈姆湖506部队童子军Scout Jonathan用卖爆米花来筹集资金给孩子们买圣诞礼物的故事。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“Like many troops, 506 sells popcorn to raise money. Many Scouts fear trying to convince people to buy from them. But in 2019, Jonathan watched as kids who’d made $1,800 or more in sales crossed a stage to receive a Lego set as a reward. ‘I really wanted that Lego set,’ he says.(和许多部队一样，506出售爆米花来筹集资金。许多童子军害怕试图说服人们从他们那里购买。但在2019年，Jonathan看到销售额达到或超过1800美元的孩子们跨过一个阶段获得一套乐高玩具作为奖励。他说，‘我真的很想要那套乐高玩具。’)”可知，Jonathan决定卖爆米花以获得部队的奖励。故选C项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段“Popcorn too expensive A simple donation will do. No cash He also takes plastic. He marched into a car dealership and struck a deal with the dealer: In all his sales efforts, he’d wear a mask with the company’s logo if the owner would buy popcorn for all his employees.(爆米花太贵了？一笔简单的捐款就可以了。没有现金吗？他接受信用卡。他走进一家汽车经销店，与经销商达成协议：在他的所有销售工作中，如果车主愿意为所有员工购买爆米花，他会戴上带有公司标志的口罩。)”可知，第四段展示了Jonathan出色的销售策略。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。由文章倒数第三段“In 2021, he was a top seller and earning $5,000. He might have spent it on himself, but he had other ideas. The holidays were on his mind - particularly the stories his father had told him about his own days in foster care where the real Christmas-morning experience his father was once denied.(2021年，他成为最佳销售员，收入5000美元。他可能把钱花在了自己身上，但他有其他想法。假期一直萦绕在他的脑海中，尤其是他父亲告诉他的关于他自己在寄养家庭的日子的故事，在那里，他父亲曾经被剥夺了真正的圣诞节早晨的经历。)”可知，他父亲在寄养家庭的经历激励Jonathan把钱花在孩子们的圣诞礼物上。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，特别倒数第二段“With $5,000, he could bring Christmas to a lot of kids. He shifted from big seller to big spender, hand-selecting $5,000 worth of gifts for several kids. (有了5000美元，他可以给很多孩子带来圣诞节。他从大卖家变成了大买家，亲手为几个孩子挑选了价值5000美元的礼物。)”可知，文章主要讲哈姆湖506部队童子军Scout Jonathan用卖爆米花来筹集资金给孩子们买圣诞礼物的故事。所以A项A Scout Plays Santa(童子军扮演圣诞老人)符合文意。故选A项。

When I rose to have my bowl washed, Mom whispered, “You know you need to be cautious today when you’re walking Sara to school. It’s your job to assure (保证) me she gets there all right.” Then she cast me. a very serious look. I thought to myself, wondering why Mom was making such a big deal out of this. It was Sara’s first day of Kindergarten, but I could manage it. I wish Mom would treat me like an adult.
Then Sara ran out of the house, and I went behind her, skipping down the front walkway to the sidewalk. Along the way, I could feel Mom’s gaze on us.
I grabbed Sara’s hand. “Are you eager and excited for your first day of school ” I asked, trying to sound like a grown-up. Sara smiled and nodded her head yes. Meanwhile, my mom was staring at us through the window. “When will she treat me like an adult ” I thought. “I will show you the way.” I said. I felt proud to be the elder sister. We walked past beautiful gardens and big, leafy trees. Suddenly, I heard a growl (低吼) and saw a dog walking towards us. He was big and fierce looking with long sharp teeth. “GRRRR!!!” the dog barked. I didn’t see its owner or anyone who could help us. My hand became sweaty and Sara stopped walking. “I’m scared, Julie,” she said. I didn’t want her to be scared. I wanted to appear brave. “Everything will be okay,” I said.
“GRRRR!!!” The dog stepped closer and we could see it was the size of a small horse — with red eyes and sharp teeth.

【答案】I was trying to make my voice sound calm. Planting my feet resolutely on the ground, I said to Sara: “Don’t be afraid!” while holding her hand tight. The sprinting dog edged closer with the menacing “GRRR!”. Without hesitation, I carried Sara in my arms, walking towards the kindergarten. Just as the dog was overtaking us, we threw ourselves inside. It was really close! We felt relieved. Seeing Sara step into the classroom, I turned for home, wanting desperately to narrate the thrilling episode to Mom.
I told Mom what had happened. At first, there followed no response. Then I saw Mom’s tears. “I am so proud of you! You did much greater than I had thought!” Mom said, holding me in a tight embrace, after which Mom looked into my eyes. She gave me some advice on tackling fierce dogs: “Next time you are cornered by such a dog, pretend to pick up a stone. It will be frightened away.” My mom’s words of praise and advice were deeply engraved in my heart. And I promised to be a better guardian of Sara and at the same time, take good care of myself.
