Dear Crystal,
I’m sorry to hear that life is getting you down right now ... I’m not sure there’s any specific advice I can give to cheer you up. It’s sometimes quite annoying to be reminded how much people love you when you don’t love yourself that much.
I’ve found that it’s of some help to compare one’s moods(情绪)about the world to the weather. Here are some obvious things about the weather:
It’s real.
If it’s dark and rainy, it really is.
It isn’t under one’s control as to when the rain stops, but it will stop one day.
You can’t change it by wishing it away.
It really is the same with one’s moods．The wrong approach is to believe that they are illusions(幻想). Panic, anxiety and anger are as real as weather.
But they will pass; they really will.
In the same way that one has to accept the weather, one has to accept how one feels about life. “Today’s a bad day” is a perfect approach.“Hey-ho, it’s raining inside; it isn’t my mistake, and there’s nothing I can do about it. But when the sun comes out, I shall take full advantage.”
I don’t know if any of that is of any use... I just hope this brings you a little more pleasure and purpose in life.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Stephen Fry

Every morning at 5 am when most people are asleep, a figure would be busy in the kitchen, cooking meals until the rest of the volunteers arrive. Day in and day out, Mr Tay and his team prepare, cook, pack and deliver the food to various parts of the island.
His journey started when one of his neighbors, Lisa, asked him to collect vegetables and give them away at Bukit Ho Swee, a poor and less-privileged neighbourhood, and thus, he continued to do so for a period of time. During one of these visits, his wife noticed that the elderly folk did not take the vegetables. Asked why, one replied that she could not cook, so she only ate the rice delivered to her. Mrs Tay then offered to cook for her, and that single meal sparked Willing Hearts, which has since served about 650,000 meals.
The soup kitchen sees many volunteers, some of whom are new, while others have been around since the organisation’s early days. They learn how to cook, interact with people from all walks of life, pick up different languages, gain greater knowledge about social issues, and most importantly, they will form a strong tie with one another. Through Willing Hearts, Mr Tay hopes to make “the country’s backyard” known to the younger generation, to allow them to see and experience firsthand what goes on behind closed doors.
As a non-profit organisation, Willing Hearts depends heavily on donations and food collections. However, this does not faze Mr Tay. He believes that you have to let things flow in gradually, and not be stopped by concerns which create an unnecessary amount of stress. He calls the volunteers of Willing Hearts the organisation’s eyes and ears, as they are always on the lookout for the poor to lend a hand.
4. What does Willing Hearts do
A. It collects vegetables. B. It delivers rice to the poor.
C. It helps the elderly to cook. D. It makes meals for the needy.
5. What is the biggest harvest for volunteers
A. Cooking skills. B. Learning languages.
C. Working experience. D. Connecting with people.
6. What does the underlined word “faze” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Satisfy. B. Trouble. C. Hurt. D. Push.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. Mr Tay and his wife. B. Ways of helping others.
C. Importance of volunteering. D. Stories behind Willing Hearts.

An adult African elephant consumes about 223 liters of water and 3,080 pounds of roots, grass and fruit daily. That’s like having 634 cans of soda and 1,200 hamburgers every day. This keeps them moving thousands of miles across Africa each year. Elephants usually migrate between March and May. Females live in groups with their children, and quickly run out of the food supply. They hit the road in search of food. Male elephants live alone, so they don’t use resources as quickly as the females. Instead, they migrate during their mating cycle. When the females pack their trunks, so do the males.
During migration, elephants face short water supplies and extremely high temperatures. But people are their number-one problem. Poachers (偷猎者) kill 35,000 elephants each year for ivory. Many African farmers build fences (栅栏) to protect crops and cattle, which might block regular migration paths. Traffic roads affect elephant migration, too. During one study of 28 elephants in Central Africa, only one female crossed an unprotected road.
Scientists, wildlife organizations and governments cooperate to find solutions for Africa’s elephants. “To unlock the secret of where elephants move and how they move, we place collars (项圈) with a satellite unit inside,” Dr. Michael Chase says. GPS collars help map which routes elephants use most so that countries can establish protected elephant passages.
Locals come in as well. James Isiche, East Africa Director of the International Fund for Animal Welfare says, “We have got the community on our side by a project; they’ve agreed to partner with us to conserve elephants.” The local community run wildlife parks to attract tourists. “This project helps us take care of both the wildlife and our cows,” says Sikira, a tribal elder in Maasai, Kenya. Protecting elephant migration routes allows these gentle giants to survive.
8. What can we learn about the elephants from paragraph 1
A. They show an interest in hamburgers.
B. They move south to survive the cold.
C. They migrate for different reasons.
D. Females live shorter for food shortage.
9. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. Results of poaching. B. Reasons for killing elephants.
C. Difficulties in migrating. D. Efforts to protect migration paths.
10. Why are collars applied by scientists
A. To discover the secret of migration.
B. To track elephants with technology.
C. To identify the population of elephants.
D. To explore a new route for migration.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Say No to Ivory B. A Journey in Africa
C. Ready for the Move D. Technology in Migration
D
Imagine a school where students are taught by the best teachers in every subject, regardless of location. Imagine a school where students could go on safe field trips to the Amazon rainforest or Everest base camp. Well, such schools are already being built: in virtual(虚拟的)reality.
Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. In the progress of home-schooling, students use headsets for about three hours a day for formal lessons and then do course work independently with digital check-ins.
Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror.
A recent report concluded that digital education could significantly improve the quality and equality of schooling systems. But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones.
Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. The trouble is that Edtech is too often seen as a shiny new toy that will solve all problems and save money rather than being viewed as a different way to learn, she adds.
12. What can we learn about Optima Academy Online
A. It has been widely accepted.
B. It holds faraway outdoor field trips.
C. It provides various online courses.
D. It requires parents to help with check-ins.
13. What does paragraph 3 focus on about VR in education
A. The development. B. The concerns.
C. The advantages. D. The popularity.
14. Students in Mexico are mentioned to show________．
A. Mexican schooling quality has been improved
B. local schooling systems are not fully developed
C. technology access gaps may cause education inequality
D. family backgrounds shape people’s views on education
15. What does Beeban Kidron think of digital education
A It enriches learning. B. It’s irreplaceable.
C. It needs improving. D. It’s undervalued.

The Power of Insensitivity

Regarding relationships, learn to view problems as two parts: One part is what you need to face and solve. The other part is the responsibility of others, which is not your business.

“Leaving the kids is hard,” Ray smiled gently.
I smiled, too. I remembered my dad and I eagerly talked on the phone about daily things when he worked away for weeks.
After two hours into our drive when a tall sign saying Preston came into our sight, I asked if it was where his family lived. “Yes, about 5 kilometers down the road,” Ray looked out in the right direction．
My heart hurt. Then I decided to give the family a gift, even if it just would be my time.

B
Every morning at 5 am when most people are asleep, a figure would be busy in the kitchen, cooking meals until the rest of the volunteers arrive. Day in and day out, Mr Tay and his team prepare, cook, pack and deliver the food to various parts of the island.
His journey started when one of his neighbors, Lisa, asked him to collect vegetables and give them away at Bukit Ho Swee, a poor and less-privileged neighbourhood, and thus, he continued to do so for a period of time. During one of these visits, his wife noticed that the elderly folk did not take the vegetables. Asked why, one replied that she could not cook, so she only ate the rice delivered to her. Mrs Tay then offered to cook for her, and that single meal sparked Willing Hearts, which has since served about 650,000 meals.
The soup kitchen sees many volunteers, some of whom are new, while others have been around since the organisation’s early days. They learn how to cook, interact with people from all walks of life, pick up different languages, gain greater knowledge about social issues, and most importantly, they will form a strong tie with one another. Through Willing Hearts, Mr Tay hopes to make “the country’s backyard” known to the younger generation, to allow them to see and experience firsthand what goes on behind closed doors.
As a non-profit organisation, Willing Hearts depends heavily on donations and food collections. However, this does not faze Mr Tay. He believes that you have to let things flow in gradually, and not be stopped by concerns which create an unnecessary amount of stress. He calls the volunteers of Willing Hearts the organisation’s eyes and ears, as they are always on the lookout for the poor to lend a hand.
4. What does Willing Hearts do
A. It collects vegetables. B. It delivers rice to the poor.
C. It helps the elderly to cook. D. It makes meals for the needy.
5. What is the biggest harvest for volunteers
A. Cooking skills. B. Learning languages.
C. Working experience. D. Connecting with people.
6. What does the underlined word “faze” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Satisfy. B. Trouble. C. Hurt. D. Push.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. Mr Tay and his wife. B. Ways of helping others.
C. Importance of volunteering. D. Stories behind Willing Hearts.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了每天早上5点，当大多数人还在睡觉时，Mr Tay和他的团队就开始在厨房忙碌，准备、烹饪、打包并将食物送到岛上各个地方。这一切始于邻居Lisa请求他收集蔬菜并分发给Bukit Ho Swee的贫困居民。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Day in and day out, Mr Tay and his team prepare, cook, pack and deliver the food to various parts of the island.(泰先生和他的团队日复一日地准备、烹饪、包装食物并运送到岛上的各个地方。) 根据最后一段“He calls the volunteers of Willing Hearts the organisation’s eyes and ears, as they are always on the lookout for the poor to lend a hand.”（他称“心之志”的志愿者是该组织的眼睛和耳朵，因为他们总是在寻找穷人伸出援助之手。）可知，Wiling Hearts为穷人提供食物。故答案为D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题，根据文章第三段的“The soup kitchen sees many volunteers, some of whom are new, while others have been around since the organisation’s early days. They learn how to cook, interact with people from all walks of life, pick up different languages, gain greater knowledge about social issues, and most importantly, they will form a strong tie with one another. (施粥场有许多志愿者，其中一些是新来的，而另一些则是该组织成立之初就有的。他们学习如何烹饪，与各行各业的人互动，学习不同的语言，获得更多关于社会问题的知识，最重要的是，他们彼此建立牢固的联系。)可知，志愿者最大的收获是与人联系。故答案为D。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题，根据文章最后一段的“A As a non-profit organisation, Willing Hearts depends heavily on donations and food collections. However, this does not faze Mr Tay. He believes that you have to let things flow in gradually, and not be stopped by concerns which create an unnecessary amount of stress. (作为一个非盈利组织，Wiling Hearts在很大程度上依赖于捐赠和食品募捐。然而，这并没有让泰先生faze。他认为，你必须让事情逐渐发展，不要被那些制造不必要压力的担忧所阻止。)”可知，尽管这个非盈利组织主要依靠捐赠，但是Tay认为必须让事情逐渐发展，不要被那些制造不必要压力的担忧所阻止，因此推断这件事不让他烦恼，因此推断faze的意思是“使烦恼”。故答案为B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题，根据文章最后一段的“As a non-profit organisation, Willing Hearts depends heavily on donations and food collections. However, this does not faze Mr Tay. He believes that you have to let things flow in gradually, and not be stopped by concerns which create an unnecessary amount of stress. He calls the volunteers of Willing Hearts the organisation’s eyes and ears, as they are always on the lookout for the poor to lend a hand. (作为一个非盈利组织, Wiling Hearts在很大程度上依赖于捐赠和食品捐赠。然而，这并没有让泰先生感到不安。他认为，你必须让事情逐渐发展，不要被那些制造不必要压力的担忧阻止。他称呼Willing Hearts的志愿者为这个组织的眼睛和耳朵，因为他们总是在寻找穷人伸出援助之手。) 可知本文主要进述了Wiling Heats作为一个非盈利组织帮助穷人的故事。故答案为D。
C
An adult African elephant consumes about 223 liters of water and 3,080 pounds of roots, grass and fruit daily. That’s like having 634 cans of soda and 1,200 hamburgers every day. This keeps them moving thousands of miles across Africa each year. Elephants usually migrate between March and May. Females live in groups with their children, and quickly run out of the food supply. They hit the road in search of food. Male elephants live alone, so they don’t use resources as quickly as the females. Instead, they migrate during their mating cycle. When the females pack their trunks, so do the males.
During migration, elephants face short water supplies and extremely high temperatures. But people are their number-one problem. Poachers (偷猎者) kill 35,000 elephants each year for ivory. Many African farmers build fences (栅栏) to protect crops and cattle, which might block regular migration paths. Traffic roads affect elephant migration, too. During one study of 28 elephants in Central Africa, only one female crossed an unprotected road.
Scientists, wildlife organizations and governments cooperate to find solutions for Africa’s elephants. “To unlock the secret of where elephants move and how they move, we place collars (项圈) with a satellite unit inside,” Dr. Michael Chase says. GPS collars help map which routes elephants use most so that countries can establish protected elephant passages.
Locals come in as well. James Isiche, East Africa Director of the International Fund for Animal Welfare says, “We have got the community on our side by a project; they’ve agreed to partner with us to conserve elephants.” The local community run wildlife parks to attract tourists. “This project helps us take care of both the wildlife and our cows,” says Sikira, a tribal elder in Maasai, Kenya. Protecting elephant migration routes allows these gentle giants to survive.
8. What can we learn about the elephants from paragraph 1
A. They show an interest in hamburgers.
B. They move south to survive the cold.
C. They migrate for different reasons.
D. Females live shorter for food shortage.
9. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. Results of poaching. B. Reasons for killing elephants.
C. Difficulties in migrating. D. Efforts to protect migration paths.
10. Why are collars applied by scientists
A. To discover the secret of migration.
B. To track elephants with technology.
C To identify the population of elephants.
D. To explore a new route for migration.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Say No to Ivory B. A Journey in Africa
C. Ready for the Move D. Technology in Migration
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大象在迁徙过程中遇到很多困难，威胁其生存，多方合作利用GPS追踪规划保护通道，并携手当地社区，共同保护大象迁徙路线以助其生存。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Females live in groups with their children, and quickly run out of the food supply. They hit the road in search of food. Male elephants live alone, so they don’t use resources as quickly as the females. Instead, they migrate during their mating cycle.(雌性大象与其幼仔群体生活，它们的食物资源会迅速耗尽。因此，当食物短缺时，它们便会踏上寻找食物的旅程。雄性大象则独自生活，它们不像雌性那样快速消耗资源。相反，雄性大象会在繁殖周期时进行迁徙)”可知，大象迁徙的原因各不相同。故选C项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“During migration, elephants face short water supplies and extremely high temperatures. But people are their number-one problem. Poachers kill 35,000 elephants each year for ivory. Many African farmers build fences to protect crops and cattle, which might block regular migration paths. Traffic roads affect elephant migration, too. During one study of 28 elephants in Central Africa, only one female crossed an unprotected road.(在迁徙过程中，大象面临着缺水和极高的温度。但人是他们的首要问题。偷猎者每年杀死35000头大象来获取象牙。许多非洲农民修建围栏以保护农作物和牲畜，这可能会阻碍正常的迁徙路线。交通道路也会影响大象的迁徙。在一项对中非28头大象的研究中，只有一头雌性大象穿过了一条没有保护的道路)”可知，这一段主要是关于大象迁徙过程中遇到的困难。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段““To unlock the secret of where elephants move and how they move, we place collars with a satellite unit inside,” Dr. Michael Chase says. (Michael Chase博士说：“为了解开大象在哪里移动以及如何移动的秘密，我们在项圈里放置了带有卫星的装置”)”可知，科学家使用项圈是为了用技术追踪大象。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。结合全文及文章第一段“Elephants usually migrate between March and May.(大象通常在三月到五月之间迁徙)”和最后一段“Protecting elephant migration routes allows these gentle giants to survive.(保护大象迁徙路线使这些温和的巨人得以生存)”可知，文章主要介绍了大象在迁徙过程中遇到很多困难，威胁其生存，多方合作利用GPS追踪规划保护通道，并携手当地社区，共同保护大象迁徙路线以助其生存，故C项“为迁徙做好准备”适合作为文章的标题。故选C项。
D
Imagine a school where students are taught by the best teachers in every subject, regardless of location. Imagine a school where students could go on safe field trips to the Amazon rainforest or Everest base camp. Well, such schools are already being built: in virtual(虚拟的)reality.
Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. In the progress of home-schooling, students use headsets for about three hours a day for formal lessons and then do course work independently with digital check-ins.
Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror.
A recent report concluded that digital education could significantly improve the quality and equality of schooling systems. But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones.
Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. The trouble is that Edtech is too often seen as a shiny new toy that will solve all problems and save money rather than being viewed as a different way to learn, she adds.
12. What can we learn about Optima Academy Online
A. It has been widely accepted.
B. It holds faraway outdoor field trips.
C. It provides various online courses.
D. It requires parents to help with check-ins.
13. What does paragraph 3 focus on about VR in education
A. The development. B. The concerns.
C. The advantages. D. The popularity.
14. Students in Mexico are mentioned to show________．
A. Mexican schooling quality has been improved
B. local schooling systems are not fully developed
C. technology access gaps may cause education inequality
D. family backgrounds shape people’s views on education
15. What does Beeban Kidron think of digital education
A. It enriches learning. B. It’s irreplaceable.
C. It needs improving. D. It’s undervalued.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍虚拟现实在教学中的应用。
【12题详解】

These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. (去年，Optima Academy Online，一所全虚拟的学校，提供了旨在改善年轻人心灵和训练他们心智的课程。这些课程层次不同，吸引了来自佛罗里达州各地的170名全日制学生。)”可知，Optima Academy Online提供各种层次不同的在线课程。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror.(毫无疑问，未来版本的VR将在教育中广泛使用，但唯一的问题是：出于什么目的，以什么速度？有足够的理由怀疑虚拟现实学校是否代表了教育的未来。把一个孩子戴在脸上的重型VR耳机粘在卧室里，不与其他孩子进行身体社交，这会让他们中的许多人和父母感到恐惧。)”可知，本段主要就虚拟现实在教学中的应用可能存在的问题表示担忧。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段“But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones.(但如果管理不善，可能会产生相反的效果，将数字鸿沟变成教育鸿沟。越来越多的证据表明这种情况正在发生。在墨西哥，贫困学校中只有24%的15岁学生能够使用家用电脑完成学业，而富裕学校中这一比例为87%。)”可知，墨西哥学生被提及是为了表明技术获取差距可能导致教育不平等。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. (英国数字未来委员会成员Beeban Kidron表示，如果使用得当，技术可以很好地让有上进心的学生获得学习资源，并与世界各地的同学和老师建立联系。)”可知，Beeban Kidron认为数字教育丰富学习，使教育多元化。故选A项。

“Leaving the kids is hard,” Ray smiled gently.
I smiled, too. I remembered my dad and I eagerly talked on the phone about daily things when he worked away for weeks.
After two hours into our drive when a tall sign saying Preston came into our sight, I asked if it was where his family lived. “Yes, about 5 kilometers down the road,” Ray looked out in the right direction．
My heart hurt. Then I decided to give the family a gift, even if it just would be my time.
“Why don’t we stop and say hello ” I suggested.
