A
The African Children’s Choir(合唱团) is made up of children who are 7 to 10 years old from Africa.They have incredible voices and spirit that amaze the audience everywhere they go!
And they go to a lot of places,all around the world.And not only do they travel a lot,but they perform with some superstar singers and celebrities for heads of state.But this is not what makes the choir so special.
Like New York’s PS22,they do not just sing,but truly put their hearts,souls and bodies into their words.But what is unique about the choir is that it offers hope,education and confidence to children who live in extreme poverty.For example,the kids in the choir are mostly from the poorest countries in the world,such as Uganda.Many children live in one-room homes and walk more than 2 miles to get water for their family.Most of the children have lost one or both of their parents because of wars or diseases.
Through its music and education,the African Children’s Choir changes the lives of its children.It allows them to see the world.It gives them hope and confidence.It shows them that everything is possible.The choir even pays for their education through college.In 30 years,it has educated and changed the lives of over 50,000 children.And,in turn,the children return to their hometowns with new thoughts and new skills to help improve their family and community.These children are truly helping to build a better Africa.

What makes a person a giver or a taker The idea of “give vs. take” takes shape in all interactions(互动) and relationships of our lives.We’re either giving advice,making time for people,or we’re on the receiving end.We keep changing between the two based on different situations on a daily basis,if not an hourly one.
According to Adam Grant,a professor at the University of Pennsylvania,most people are matchers.They make careful observations on takers and make it a point for them to pay something back.They hate to see people who act so generously towards others not receive any rewards.Actually,most matchers will try hard to improve and support givers so that they can get the good they deserve.
Is there a gender factor that plays a part in this
A study led by Hannah Riley Bowles,a professor at Harvard University,focused on this question.She asked 200 senior managers to sit down in pairs where one person would act as the boss and the other as an employee to discuss a salary rise.Male“employees” asked for an average salary of $146,000,while the females asked for only $141,000.But why did they not bargain as hard as the men Simply because they were more likely to be givers.
As a woman,I do enjoy the act of giving up my time,my knowledge,and my care and attention to others.I expect anything in return,but I do tend to pull myself away when I feel like I’m being taken for granted.I also tend to get upset when I see a loved one’s continuous actions of kindness go unnoticed.So,it’s safe to say I’m 50% giver,35% matcher and 15% taker.
I do know someone,however,who is 99% giver.They’re continually devoting their time,sharing valuable insights and going out of their way for everyone who crosses their path.Although they’ve changed the lives of many people,they hardly see any of it returned.But the universe is slowly repaying them;they’re now extremely successful,well known for what they do.
4.What can we learn from the first paragraph
A.Most people think they are givers.
B.People are not always givers or takers.
C.An individual is born to be a giver or a taker.
D.Few differences exist between givers and takers.
5.What can we learn from Grant’s opinion
A.Most people hate takers.
B.Most people prefer giving to taking.
C.Most people enjoy relying on themselves.
D.Most people balance giving and taking.
6.Which of the following represents the author’s point of view
A.Giving is the shortest path to success.
B.Sharing is the greatest human quality.
C.No good deed goes undone.
D.Givers are worth respecting.

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 late spring when my mom and I were driving through the countryside.Back then I was 13 years old and always felt unhappy with Mom.However,little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one.
A pot of flowers sat in the back seat,whose pleasant smell filled the car.Suddenly,in the middle of nowhere,my mom pulled over.“What are you doing ” I cried,fearing that the car had broken down and we’d be stuck there,so far from home.Fortunately,that wasn’t the case.My mom hopped out of the car,grabbing the flowers from the back seat.“It’ll just be a minute,” she called back through the open windows.
Impatiently,I cast my eyes towards the edge of the road before they settled on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home.I looked back to the building,somewhat annoyed,as my mom reappeared empty-handed.
Before she started the car,curiosity drove me to ask,“Do you know someone there ” She shook her head.“Then what did you do with the flowers ” She smiled slightly,“I gave them to the receptionist (前台接待员).”“What ” She laughed at my confusion.“I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them,especially those who haven’t received any in a while.”
I kept silent for a moment.Not long after we went on with our driving,I spoke again,“Did you leave your name ” To this she answered instantly,“No.Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good,which is enough of a thank for me.”
Suddenly,still thinking about Mom’s deeds,I heard something burst loudly.It was our car that broke down!Nothing could be worse,because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it,and we didn’t know where the garage was.It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by,since we had seen so few along the way.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I let out a sigh while my mom rooted herself against the car worrying about what could be done.
As we drove along,a flower shop came into sight on the road.

3.C 推理判断题。根据第一段以及下文的描述可知,文章主要介绍了非洲儿童合唱团的一些情况以及影响,所以这篇文章的目的是介绍一个特别的合唱团。

1.B 根据“They could not afford to pay for for their dog,Tiffy...”可知,这个家庭的预算(budget)非常紧张。
2.D 根据“They had to move to Virginia but they were on a very tight .”及下文语境可知,这个家庭的预算非常紧张,所以付不起他们的狗Tiffy的交通费(transportation)。
3.A 根据“...wanted to take her with them.”可知,这家人非常(desperately)想把狗一起带走。
4.C 根据“I was planning another PNP flight with another pilot,Karen...”可知,碰巧(happened)作者和另一名飞行员正在计划另一次PNP飞行。
5.B 根据“...to take Tiffy from Kansas City to Virginia.”可知,Karen主动提出(offered)帮忙把狗Tiffy从堪萨斯城带到弗吉尼亚。

Ⅲ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了赫斯维克工作室最近的一个温室项目,这个名为玻璃屋的建筑展示了丝绸之路对于英国花园的影响。
1.engineering 考查名词。engineer作动词时意为“设计制造”,再根据后面的techniques可知,此处用名词形式engineering作定语修饰techniques,表示“工程技术”。
2.functional 考查形容词。空后的structure为名词,故此处应用function的形容词形式functional(实用的)作定语。
3.to give 考查非谓语动词。本句中已经出现了谓语动词open,因此应用give的非谓语动词形式。再由句意“这些萼片在温暖的日子打开是为了给里面的植物阳光和新鲜的空气。”可知,所填的词作目的状语,所以用动词不定式。
4.closed 考查形容词。本题易错,部分学生不知道closed可以用作形容词“关闭的”。由空前的stays可作系动词可知,此处用closed与上句中的open相呼应,表示“在冷天时,这个建筑保持关闭,为的是保护里面的植物”。
5.walks 考查谓语动词。本句的主语是the Silk Route Garden,宾语是visitors,故此处用谓语动词,句子的主语为第三人称单数,故此处用walks。本句中的walk不是不及物动词“走路,散步”的含义,而是及物动词,意为“陪伴……走”。
6.the 考查冠词。根据后面的first time可知,此处应填the。
7.favourites/favorites 考查名词复数。此题的难度在于,大家只熟悉favourite作形容词时的意思“最喜爱的”,却忽视了favourite作名词时的意思“最喜爱的人或物”。根据后面的“such as rosemary,lavender and fennel”可知,此处应用名词的复数形式。
8.as 考查介词。Glasshouse作为当代设计的一项伟大成就而矗立着,容纳了……。as意为“作为”。此题易误用for或out,这两个词放上句意不通顺。
9.that/which 考查定语从句引导词。本句的先行词为the Silk Route,此处引导词that/which在从句中作主语,表示丝绸之路把这些植物从它们在亚洲的生长地带过来。
10.richness 考查名词。由前面的the可知,此处用rich的名词形式richness。
Ⅳ.I let out a sigh while my mom rooted herself against the car worrying about what could be done.But after waiting in vain for a considerable time,Mom and I decided to walk back along the road to the nursing home and seek help.Who knows how far we had driven!When we arrived,the receptionist was surprised,but warmly helped us contact the garage.There,the old men who had received the flowers were excited to meet us,talking about how great that day was.It amazed us what random actions of kindness could mean to the people who received them.While we were laughing and talking merrily,we received the news that the garage had got our car repaired.
As we drove along,a flower shop came into sight on the road.I asked Mom to pull up and paced quickly into the flower shop,where a bunch of flowers glowing red in full bloom caught my eye.Having witnessed the effect of kindness,I decided to send Mom the sweet flowers.Soon,the pleasant scent filled the car again.Mom tried to conceal her excitement,but the glittering tears failed her.Through this trip,I discovered that,despite my occasional anger towards her,I actually felt proud of her.That was the trip of my life.
