All forms of tobacco — cigarettes, pipes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco — are dangerous. It doesn’t help to substitute products that seem like they’re better for you than regular cigarettes, such as filtered or low-tar cigarettes.
The only thing that really helps a person avoid the problems associated with smoking is staying smoke free. This isn’t always easy, especially if everyone around you is smoking and offering you cigarettes. It may help to have your reasons for not smoking ready for times you may feel the pressure, such as “I just don’t like it” or “I want to stay in shape for soccer (or football, basketball or other sport)”．
The good news for people who don’t smoke or who want to quit is that studies show that the number of teens who smoke has dropped evidently. Today about 23% of high school students smoke.
If you do smoke and want to quit, you have lots of information and support available. Different approaches to quitting work for different people. For some, quitting cold turkey is best. Others find that a slower approach is the way to go. Some people find that it helps to go to a support group especially for teens. These are sometimes sponsored by local hospitals or organizations like the American Cancer Society. The Internet offers a number of good resources to help people quit smoking.
When quitting, it can be helpful to realize that the first few days are the hardest. So don’t give up. Some people find they have a few setbacks before they manage to quit for good.
Staying smoke free will give you a whole lot more of everything — more energy, better performance, better looks, more money in your pocket, and, in the long run, more life to live!

Camille Mahlknecht, 9, has some big fun planned for this weekend. She and other residents of Agoura Hills, California, plan to pick up trash during their city’s annual cleanup. At the same time, Wissam Raed,12, will be busy volunteering too. Thousands of miles away in Lebanon, Wissam plans to put on a play at an orphanage and bring potted plants to elderly people at a senior citizen center.
Some other children like Nathan White, 10, have personal reasons for volunteering. Nathan’s grandmother died of a heart attack. To help raise money for medical research, Nathan participated in Jump Rope for Heart. He and five other boys took turns jumping rope for two and half hours and collected more than US$1200 in donations for the American Heart Association.
Millions of children around the globe lend a hand to their communities every year. Schools and parents also contribute to the rise in youth service. For example, many schools offer community service activities for students to join. Teachers either combine volunteer work with classroom lessons or make service work a requirement. Parents, on the other hand, encourage their kids to volunteer and do it with them.
Community service is particularly important in this depression time. As the need for monetary support and other aid has increased, many charitable organizations have experienced a significant drop in donations. Camille and other children who volunteer thousands of hours annually can fill in some of the gaps.
According to research, kids who start volunteering are twice as likely to continue doing good deeds when they are adults. So, grab a paintbrush, a trash bag, or whatever you need to help your community. You’ll love how you feel after helping others. Even dirty work can be lots of fun, if it’s for a good cause.

A. To recommend youth service programs to schools.
B. To ask charity organizations to serve the community.
C. To urge children to take part in volunteering activities.
D. To propose alternatives for doing community services.
9. What is the main idea of the 3rd paragraph
A. Community service is gaining popularity among children.
B. Families and schools help to make community service popular.

D. Nathan White had a special reason to raise money for medical research.

So, grab a paintbrush, a trash bag, or whatever you need to help your community. You’ll love how you feel after helping others. Even dirty work can be lots of fun, if it’s for a good cause.(根据研究，开始做志愿者的孩子成年后继续做好事的可能性是常人的两倍。所以，拿起画笔，垃圾袋，或者任何你需要的东西来帮助你的社区。你会喜欢帮助别人后的感觉。即使是肮脏的工作也会很有趣，如果是为了一个好的理由。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讨论了世界各地的孩子们如何参与志愿活动，强调了他们的个人动机、服务实例以及这些经历的好处。最后，文章以一项研究发现作为结论，指出从小开始参与志愿活动的孩子们长大后更有可能继续做好事。这表明作者的主要目的是鼓励孩子们参加志愿活动。故选C。

主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Millions of children around the globe lend a hand to their communities every year. Schools and parents also contribute to the rise in youth service. For example, many schools offer community service activities for students to join. Teachers either combine volunteer work with classroom lessons or make service work a requirement. Parents, on the other hand, encourage their kids to volunteer and do it with them.(全球每年都有数百万儿童向他们的社区伸出援手。学校和家长也对青少年服务的增加做出了贡献。例如，许多学校为学生提供社区服务活动。教师要么将志愿工作与课堂教学结合起来，要么将服务工作作为一项要求。另一方面，父母鼓励他们的孩子做志愿者，和他们一起做。)”可知，第三段描述了全球有数百万儿童每年都在为他们的社区做出贡献，并且提到学校和家长也推动了青年服务活动的兴起。许多学校为学生提供了参加社区服务活动的机会，而家长则鼓励孩子们参与志愿服务活动，并和他们一起参与。因此，该段主要强调了家庭和学校对社区服务活动普及的贡献。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Community service is particularly important in this depression time. As the need for monetary support and other aid has increased, many charitable organizations have experienced a significant drop in donations.

【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“According to research, kids who start volunteering are twice as likely to continue doing good deeds when they are adults. (根据研究，开始做志愿者的孩子成年后继续做好事的可能性是常人的两倍。)”可知，从小就开始参与志愿活动的孩子们长大后更有可能继续做好事。这意味着这些孩子长大后更有可能成为有爱心、关心他人的成年人。故选D。

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。
The snowstorm was supposed to hit the evening of Monday, Jan. 31. I was working from home but I had to leave that afternoon and go to my office to sign an emergency financial aid check for a student. The route to the office took about 30 minutes along the highway. When I got there, my colleague came to my office to co-sign the check, and left. As I was packing up, I noticed he had left his laptop bag in my office.
“I can bring it to you,” I assured him. It was just past 4:30 p. m. The snow wasn’t supposed to start until later. On the way to his place, I picked up a new cellphone charger, and filled up my SUV with gas.
It took me about 15 minutes to get to my colleague’s house, where I dropped off the laptop case and got back on the road. Then the snow started, and it was coming down fast. Within minutes, the windows were fogging up and getting covered with snow, so I rolled down my driver’s side window, thinking I could better follow the edge of the road and keep to a straight line. But really, I didn’t have a clue where I was or even which side of the road I was on.
I called 911, but the dispatcher (调度员) told me that nobody was coming to get me until morning at the earliest. The storm would continue for longer than predicted and I worried I’d freeze to death.
Breathe, I told myself. Panicking won’t help.
I stopped the car, pinning my location on Google Maps, figuring out that I was on a road called Bouvier Lane, in between two farms. I posted this new information to my Facebook community group, pleading for anyone who knew who lived on the farms to help me get rescued.
At 8 p. m., my cellphone rang. It was the son of the farmer, André Bouvier, who owned the land beside the road I was stuck in. He told me that his dad had just helped two other cars get to his house, a father and his two kids, and a couple with their daughter. He comforted me that his dad was coming to get me.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Then, about 45 minutes later, I saw a tall figure, moving quickly toward me in the dark carrying a flashlight. I’d never been more relieved to see someone in my life. It was Andre Bouvier, who was fighting the wind and snow all the way to get me. “I want you to follow me in your car. You’ll be OK”, he said. I drove slowly behind him, feeling my heart begin to beat more slowly.
We reached the house at last, I driving slowly behind André Bouvier. When I got out of the car, I burst into tears, all my fears turning into relief and gratitude. There, I met the other two families. We all spent the night telling stories, the kids ate the pizza I’d bought, and we slept scattered around the house, on sofas and long chairs. The experience has been a game changer for me. I now approach challenges with a sense of calm I’d not known before. But best of all, it brought André into my life. We’re still in touch, and I know we’ll be friends forever.
【解析】

All forms of tobacco — cigarettes, pipes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco — are dangerous. It doesn’t help to substitute products that seem like they’re better for you than regular cigarettes, such as filtered or low-tar cigarettes.
The only thing that really helps a person avoid the problems associated with smoking is staying smoke free. This isn’t always easy, especially if everyone around you is smoking and offering you cigarettes. It may help to have your reasons for not smoking ready for times you may feel the pressure, such as “I just don’t like it” or “I want to stay in shape for soccer (or football, basketball or other sport)”．
The good news for people who don’t smoke or who want to quit is that studies show that the number of teens who smoke has dropped evidently. Today about 23% of high school students smoke.
If you do smoke and want to quit, you have lots of information and support available. Different approaches to quitting work for different people. For some, quitting cold turkey is best. Others find that a slower approach is the way to go. Some people find that it helps to go to a support group especially for teens. These are sometimes sponsored by local hospitals or organizations like the American Cancer Society. The Internet offers a number of good resources to help people quit smoking.
When quitting, it can be helpful to realize that the first few days are the hardest. So don’t give up. Some people find they have a few setbacks before they manage to quit for good.
Staying smoke free will give you a whole lot more of everything — more energy, better performance, better looks, more money in your pocket, and, in the long run, more life to live!
4. What will be the best title of the passage
A. Staying smoke free B. Live a long life

Camille Mahlknecht, 9, has some big fun planned for this weekend. She and other residents of Agoura Hills, California, plan to pick up trash during their city’s annual cleanup. At the same time, Wissam Raed,12, will be busy volunteering too. Thousands of miles away in Lebanon, Wissam plans to put on a play at an orphanage and bring potted plants to elderly people at a senior citizen center.
Some other children like Nathan White, 10, have personal reasons for volunteering. Nathan’s grandmother died of a heart attack. To help raise money for medical research, Nathan participated in Jump Rope for Heart. He and five other boys took turns jumping rope for two and half hours and collected more than US$1200 in donations for the American Heart Association.
Millions of children around the globe lend a hand to their communities every year. Schools and parents also contribute to the rise in youth service. For example, many schools offer community service activities for students to join. Teachers either combine volunteer work with classroom lessons or make service work a requirement. Parents, on the other hand, encourage their kids to volunteer and do it with them.
Community service is particularly important in this depression time. As the need for monetary support and other aid has increased, many charitable organizations have experienced a significant drop in donations. Camille and other children who volunteer thousands of hours annually can fill in some of the gaps.
According to research, kids who start volunteering are twice as likely to continue doing good deeds when they are adults. So, grab a paintbrush, a trash bag, or whatever you need to help your community. You’ll love how you feel after helping others. Even dirty work can be lots of fun, if it’s for a good cause.
8. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this passage
A. To recommend youth service programs to schools.
B. To ask charity organizations to serve the community.
C. To urge children to take part in volunteering activities.
D. To propose alternatives for doing community services.
9. What is the main idea of the 3rd paragraph
A. Community service is gaining popularity among children.
B. Families and schools help to make community service popular.
C. Children now depend more on their teachers than on their parents.
D. Nathan White had a special reason to raise money for medical research.
10. Why is community service important in a time of depression
A. It raises money for school activities.
B. It teaches children to take care of the sick.
C. It gives charity organizations some needed help.
D. It encourages parents and teachers to work together.
11. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Community service can help prevent juvenile delinquency (青少年犯罪)．
B. Children will probably leave school and work as volunteers.
C. Organizing sports events for the school is a kind of community service.
D. Children who do volunteer work are more likely to grow up to be caring adults.

Floor sweeping robot, also known as automatic cleaner, intelligent dust collector, robot vacuum cleaner, is a kind of intelligent household appliances, which can automatically clean the floor in the room with a certain amount of artificial intelligence. Brush sweeping and vacuum are generally used to absorb the ground sundries into their own garbage storage box, so as to complete the function of ground cleaning. Generally speaking, robots that complete cleaning, dust collection and floor cleaning are also uniformly classified as floor sweeping robots.
Recently, my family has a new member. It has a foolish name called “JoJo”. It is a “sweeping robot”, with a round, flat body, wearing a silly coat and shining like a scammony. To be honest ,I turned my back on it. It has several functions! It has a powder in its stomach. When it first sweep a lot of dust together, it will eat them all in its body. As long as it is touched gently, it will climb around on the ground and start working hard.
It has a pair of sensitive infrared “eyes”. When encountering obstacles in front, it will drop its head as fast as driving. When it feels that there is garbage around it, it will run towards the garbage and sweep it clean. Every night, when I finish my homework, there is no paper dust on the whole floor. It can also make an appointment and work regularly. After completing the task, it can find its own charger to charge, which is very powerful. Since it came to our home, it has become a good helper for our cleaning. My mother said, “this is the power of science and technology!”
Although its look is completely stupid but it have helped me a lot in cleaning. So I hope scientists can invent many capable robots like JoJo in the future.
12. Where does the sweeping robots put the garbage
A. The trash-bin in the house. B. Their own trash box.
C. Place them downstairs. D. Hide it in JoJo’s office.
13. Which category does not pertain to the floor sweeping robots

14. When will JoJo swallow the trash in her stomach
A. There’s so much trash all over the place. B. Its master request.
C. It’s programmed to go wrong. D. There are plenty of dust.
15. What is the writer’s attitude toward JOJO
A. Ambiguous B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Objective
