ROOTS & SHOOTS
Most people suffer from① what is known as “Just me ism”. What is that Well, say you leave the tap running while you brush your teeth, leave a light on② when you go out or you drop a piece of litter and can't be bothered to pick it up. You know that all those things are wrong, but so what③？ “What difference can it possibly make④？” you say to yourself.
“There are millions of people in the world and I'm just me. How can it matter if I leave one little tap running, one little light on or leave a little piece of litter on the road And anyway, no one will know.” Of course, it wouldn't matter if there were just a few people in the world．【1】 But just think of all the millions of people saying to themselves⑤： “It doesn't matter. It's just me. And, anyway, no one knows.” Millions of⑥ gallons⑦ of water would be wasted; millions of lights would be left on; millions of pieces of litter would be dropped. And all of this would be very harmful.
【1】It wouldn't matter if...如果……也没关系。表示在某种条件下，不会产生多大影响。
To inspire young people to take action⑧ for the environment, animals and their community, Roots & Shoots was established. This institute⑨ was set up⑩ in the early 1990s by Dr. Jane Goodall, a scientist who's the world's best known expert on wild chimpanzees . In addition to her research, she has been whole heartedly committed to environmental protection. The whole purpose of Roots & Shoots is to educate young people, from pre schoolers to university students, so they can help to build a future that is secure and live together in peace with nature.
The organisation is called Roots & Shoots because roots move slowly under the ground to make a firm foundation ， and shoots seem small and weak, but they can break open brick walls to reach the light. The roots and shoots are you, your friends and young people all around the world . Hundreds and thousands of roots and shoots can solve the problems, change the world and make it a better place to live in.
Do you think you help to make the world a better place when you make a sad person smile, when you make a dog wag its tail, and when you water a thirsty plant 【2】 One cheered up person, one happy dog, one flowering plant, and you. That's what Roots & Shoots is all about: the value and importance of each individual—human, animal or plant. Dr. Jane Goodall believes that the most important thing is that：“Every individual matters . Every individual has a role to play . Every individual makes a difference.”
You get to choose: Do you want to use your life to make the world a better place for people, animals and the environment Do you want to make Roots & Shoots rooted in everyone's heart Do you want to be a part of a community for a shared future You cannot be absent.

It is by acting together, in this exciting way, that we can involve thousands—millions—of people, and this is what is going to change the world. 【3】
—Jane Goodall

[汉语译文]
根(root)与芽(shoot)
很多人都有所谓的“就我一个( Just me ism)”问题。这是什么意思呢？比方说你刷牙的时候让水哗哗地流，外出的时候不关灯，或者掉了一块垃圾却懒得捡起来。你知道这些都是不对的，但那又怎么样？“会有什么差别呢？”你对自己说，“世界上有数百万人，我不过是我自己。如果我不关一个小小的水龙头、一盏小小的灯或在路上掉了一小块垃圾，这会有什么问题？而且不管怎样，也没人会知道。”当然，如果世界上只有几个人，那就无所谓了。
但试想要是数百万人都对自己说： “没关系。只有我一个。而且，不管怎样，也没人会知道。”那将会浪费数百万加仑(gallon)的水，忘记关掉数百万的灯，掉下数百万块的垃圾。而这些都是非常有害的。
为了激励年轻人行动(take action)起来保护环境、动物和社区，“根与芽”(Roots & Shoots)诞生了。这个组织(institute)于20世纪90年代初由珍·古道尔博士创立，在野生黑猩猩(chimpanzee)研究领域，她是世界上最著名的专家。除了自己的科研，她一直全身心地投入环境保护事业。“根与芽”的目的是教育年轻人，从学龄前儿童到大学生，使他们能够为创造一个安全、与自然和平共处的未来而贡献力量。
这个组织取名“根与芽”，取意根部在地下缓慢延伸以形成坚实的(firm)基础(foundation)，而芽看起来又小又弱，却可以向着光明冲破砖(brick)墙的阻挡。根和芽就是你、你的朋友和世界各地(all around the world)的年轻人。成千上万的根和芽能够解决问题，改变世界，使其更加宜居。
当你使一个悲伤的人破涕为笑，让一只狗摇(wag)尾巴，给一株干渴的植物浇水时，你觉得自己让世界变得更美好了吗？一个振作起来的人，一只快乐的狗，一株开花的植物和你。
这就是“根与芽”的全部意义：重视每一个个体的价值和重要性，不管是人、动物，还是植物。珍·古道尔博士认为，最重要的是：“每一个个体都很重要。每一个个体都有自己的角色。每一个个体都能有所作为。”你可以选择：你想通过自己的生活，为了人类、动物和环境而让世界变得更美好吗？你想让“根与芽”植根于每个人的心中吗？你想成为命运共同体的一员吗？你不能缺席。
正是通过这种令人激动的方式共同行动起来，我们可以让成百上千、甚至上百万人参与(involve)其中，这将改变世界。
——珍·古道尔

A
In December 2010，Lauren Robinson walked into science class. “My throat started closing，”she remembers. “They called an ambulance (救护车)，and I had to go to the hospital.” It wasn't the first time that Lauren had to be rushed to the hospital. That's because Lauren，15，has a food allergy (过敏症).
Many people have food allergies. But Lauren's allergy is much worse than most. She can't eat food that contains milk. When she was younger，Lauren could stay safe by choosing food carefully. That changed in middle school. By eighth grade，Lauren couldn't be in the same room with dairy products (乳制品). That's what happened in Lauren's science classroom. Earlier that day，students had held a pizza party. Cheese particles (微粒) still hung in the air. Lauren never returned to school after that.
In 2011，Lauren got great news. She could go to school and stay safe by driving a robot to class. Lauren controls it from home over the Internet，using a computer. She uses the keyboard to drive the robot from class to class. A video camera on the robot lets Lauren see what is going on in school. A video screen on the robot lets students and teachers see her. It has microphones (话筒) so that everyone can talk to Lauren too.
At first，Lauren thought that using the robot was “a weird idea”. No one went to school like that. “I kept knocking into walls at first，” says Lauren，laughing. “I'd keep falling！”But she got used to it quickly. Using the robot feels natural now. Lauren even created a way to “raise her hand” using the robot's headlights. “I can turn them on and off until the teacher sees me，” she explains.
Lauren looks forward to going to college. She'd like to work in a medical job.
1．Why was Lauren sent to the hospital in December 2010？( )
A．She accidentally drank some milk.
B．She carelessly touched some pizza.
C．She ate some dairy food.
D．She breathed in cheese particles.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的“couldn't be in the same room with dairy products.”及“Cheese particles still hung in the air.”可知，那天在科学课上，Lauren因为吸入奶酪微粒而导致过敏症发作，被送进医院。
2．What do we know about Lauren's allergy？( )
A.Lauren's throat was totally damaged because of it.
B．It becomes better as Lauren gets older.
C．It often puts Lauren in a dangerous situation.

解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“My throat started closing”以及第二段中的“But Lauren's allergy is much worse than most.”，“Lauren couldn't be in the same room with dairy products”和“Lauren never returned to school after that.”可知，Lauren的过敏症一旦发作就会产生可怕的后果。
3．The underlined word “weird” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”．( )
A．strange B．clever
C．wrong D．big
答案：A
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线单词后的“No one went to school like that.”可知，一开始，Lauren觉得用机器人代替自己去上学很奇怪，因为没人会那样做。
4．According to the text，the robot ________．( )
A．was easy to control at first
B．becomes friends with Lauren
C．can communicate with others all by itself
D．makes Lauren feel like she's really in school

B
If you go into the woods with your friends, stay with them. If you don't, you may get lost. If you do get lost, this is what you should do.
Sit down and stay where you are. Don't try to find your friends—let them find you. You can help them to find you by staying in one place.
There is another way to help your friends or other people nearby to find you. Give them a signal by shouting or whistling (吹口哨) three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help. You will be helped by others.
Keep up the shouting or whistling, always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know they have heard your signal. They will give two shouts, two whistles or two gunshots. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help.
If you don't think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house and cover up the holes with branches with lots of leaves and grass. What should you do if you get hungry or need to drink some water You should have to leave your little branch house to look for a brook. Don't just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back.
The most important thing to do when you are lost is—stay in one place.
5．How do you let people believe that you are not just making noise for fun？( )
A．Stop now and then.
B．Go on shouting or whistling.
C．Shout over and over at the top of voice.
D．Shout or whistle three times once a while.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“Give them a signal by...three times is a call for help.”可知，每过一会儿就喊叫三声或吹三下口哨是求救的信号，故选D。
6．If nobody answers you after your signal, what should you do then？( )
A．Give two gunshots.
B．Shout louder.
C．Stop shouting.
D．Make a house.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“If you don't think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house...”可知，如果没有人回应你的求救信号，这时应该给自己布置一个过夜的房子，故选D项。
7．If you feel thirsty when you are lost in the forest, what should you do？( )
A．Go and find a brook.
B．Light a fire and make yourself some tea.
C.Go to find a brook and leave marks behind you.
D．Find something to hold the water.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“...leave your little branch house to look for a brook...Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back.”可知，当口渴时，你需要去找一条小溪，但是记得在路上做标记，故选C。
8．What's the best title for the passage？( )

B．How to Find Your Friends When You Are Lost in the Woods

答案：C

How can it matter if I leave one little tap running, one little light on or leave a little piece of litter on the road And anyway, no one will know.” Of course, it wouldn't matter if there were just a few people in the world．【1】 But just think of all the millions of people saying to themselves⑤： “It doesn't matter. It's just me. And, anyway, no one knows.” Millions of⑥ gallons⑦ of water would be wasted; millions of lights would be left on; millions of pieces of litter would be dropped. And all of this would be very harmful.
【1】It wouldn't matter if...如果……也没关系。表示在某种条件下，不会产生多大影响。
To inspire young people to take action⑧ for the environment, animals and their community, Roots & Shoots was established. This institute⑨ was set up⑩ in the early 1990s by Dr. Jane Goodall, a scientist who's the world's best known expert on wild chimpanzees . In addition to her research, she has been whole heartedly committed to environmental protection. The whole purpose of Roots & Shoots is to educate young people, from pre schoolers to university students, so they can help to build a future that is secure and live together in peace with nature.
The organisation is called Roots & Shoots because roots move slowly under the ground to make a firm foundation ， and shoots seem small and weak, but they can break open brick walls to reach the light. The roots and shoots are you, your friends and young people all around the world . Hundreds and thousands of roots and shoots can solve the problems, change the world and make it a better place to live in.
Do you think you help to make the world a better place when you make a sad person smile, when you make a dog wag its tail, and when you water a thirsty plant 【2】 One cheered up person, one happy dog, one flowering plant, and you. That's what Roots & Shoots is all about: the value and importance of each individual—human, animal or plant. Dr. Jane Goodall believes that the most important thing is that：“Every individual matters . Every individual has a role to play . Every individual makes a difference.” You get to choose: Do you want to use your life to make the world a better place for people, animals and the environment Do you want to make Roots & Shoots rooted in everyone's heart Do you want to be a part of a community for a shared future You cannot be absent.

[汉语译文]
根(root)与芽(shoot)
很多人都有所谓的“就我一个( Just me ism)”问题。这是什么意思呢？比方说你刷牙的时候让水哗哗地流，外出的时候不关灯，或者掉了一块垃圾却懒得捡起来。你知道这些都是不对的，但那又怎么样？“会有什么差别呢？”你对自己说，“世界上有数百万人，我不过是我自己。如果我不关一个小小的水龙头、一盏小小的灯或在路上掉了一小块垃圾，这会有什么问题？而且不管怎样，也没人会知道。”当然，如果世界上只有几个人，那就无所谓了。但试想要是数百万人都对自己说： “没关系。只有我一个。而且，不管怎样，也没人会知道。”那将会浪费数百万加仑(gallon)的水，忘记关掉数百万的灯，掉下数百万块的垃圾。而这些都是非常有害的。
为了激励年轻人行动(take action)起来保护环境、动物和社区，“根与芽”(Roots & Shoots)诞生了。这个组织(institute)于20世纪90年代初由珍·古道尔博士创立，在野生黑猩猩(chimpanzee)研究领域，她是世界上最著名的专家。除了自己的科研，她一直全身心地投入环境保护事业。“根与芽”的目的是教育年轻人，从学龄前儿童到大学生，使他们能够为创造一个安全、与自然和平共处的未来而贡献力量。
这个组织取名“根与芽”，取意根部在地下缓慢延伸以形成坚实的(firm)基础(foundation)，而芽看起来又小又弱，却可以向着光明冲破砖(brick)墙的阻挡。根和芽就是你、你的朋友和世界各地(all around the world)的年轻人。成千上万的根和芽能够解决问题，改变世界，使其更加宜居。
当你使一个悲伤的人破涕为笑，让一只狗摇(wag)尾巴，给一株干渴的植物浇水时，你觉得自己让世界变得更美好了吗？一个振作起来的人，一只快乐的狗，一株开花的植物和你。这就是“根与芽”的全部意义：重视每一个个体的价值和重要性，不管是人、动物，还是植物。珍·古道尔博士认为，最重要的是：“每一个个体都很重要。每一个个体都有自己的角色。每一个个体都能有所作为。”你可以选择：你想通过自己的生活，为了人类、动物和环境而让世界变得更美好吗？你想让“根与芽”植根于每个人的心中吗？你想成为命运共同体的一员吗？你不能缺席。
正是通过这种令人激动的方式共同行动起来，我们可以让成百上千、甚至上百万人参与(involve)其中，这将改变世界。
——珍·古道尔
