Michael Evans was standing in line at the Treasurer’s Office last August, waiting to pay his taxes, when he heard a(n) 1 sound ahead of him. The elderly woman at the window was crying. He heard the cashier 2 the woman that her house was in foreclosure (丧失抵押品赎回权) and headed for auction. He also heard the woman tell the cashier that her daughter had recently died. Evans, a businessman who had just buried his father, couldn’t 3 the idea of this woman losing her home 4 after losing her child. He 5 the window. “I don’t mean to butt in,” he said to the cashier, “but 6 you can get her house back, I’ll pay for her taxes.” The amount added up to $5,000.
The old woman was shocked. Her despair turned to 7 . The cashier left for a moment to 8 that it was all right for Evans to pay it. Evans promised to go 9 to the bank and come back with the money. But when he returned to the Treasurer’s Office, he asked someone else waiting in line to hand the $5,000 check to the cashier. Evans was trying to 10 quietly and, preferably, anonymously (匿名地).
“I didn’t want this attention,” he explained.
However, attention found him. It’s not every day that someone pays a stranger’s tax bill. As is reported, Evans often finds himself on the giving end of charitable situations, though for years he went unrecognised for it. 11 paying the elderly woman’s taxes, Evans said he did it for nothing but to make sure the lady stayed in her own house.
A few weeks after the tax 12 , Evans received the Spirit of Detroit Award for his lifetime of generosity. Again, he didn’t want the attention, but his son felt the honour was overdue. “It was good to see my dad finally get the 13 he deserves,” his son said. Michael Evans is nearing 60 and will retire soon. Before he does, he hopes that his son will join him in a fund-raiser to pay for a wheelchair for a boy with an incurable bone disease. And he’ll continue to 14 the local youth football league team, paying for their equipment, uniforms, and out-of-state travel. His son is willing to 15 the business, saying that he models his life after his father.

Students had never done or seen any experiment so that when they saw the mixture 4 (bubble) out of the test tube and spilling everywhere in a demonstration experiment, they started jumping out of the windows.
5 people there were poor, they were very friendly and kind. One day, I, as well as another teacher went to the home of one of our 6 (student), Tombe. All the villagers turned up to welcome us as if all of them were relatives. I found the house was low, small, round bamboo hut with no windows, with a door just big enough to get through and with grass sticking out of the roof. Very few possessions could 7 (see) in it.

Although we left the village the next morning with muscles aching and knees shaking, I felt very 9 (delight). I thought it 10 privilege to spend a day with Tombe’s family.

Ⅳ. 阅读理解
“You can use me as a last resort (选择), and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids’ lacrosse (长曲棍球) club.
I guess that there’s probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on…At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,“Alright. Yes, I’ll do it.”
I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organises the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.
Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.
In that sense, I’m pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I’d freely like to admit. However, if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies?
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者自己参与并鼓励他人参与志愿者工作的经历,论述了志愿者工作的独特意义。
( C )1. What can we infer about the parent from her reply in Paragraph 1?
A. She knows little about the club.
B. She isn’t good at sports.
C. She just doesn’t want to volunteer.
D. She’s unable to meet her schedule.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“You can use me as a last resort (选择), and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do it.”和第二段中的“the unwilling parent”可推断,这位家长不想做志愿者工作。
( B )2. What does the underlined phrase “tug at the heartstrings” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Encourage teamwork.
B. Appeal to feelings.

How to Have a Successful Teenage Life?
Everyone wants to succeed in their life, don’t they? Even as a teenager, you can achieve success in your life; it really isn’t that hard. 1
Do well in school. No matter how boring it is now, education will help you be a productive member in society. Try your best for excellence in school; listen to the teachers, do your homework, study, and get good grades. Doing so will help you get into a better university, which will enable you to have a bright future. 2
Do good in your community. Volunteering not only can improve your community’s status, but it could also make you happier. Studies show that people who volunteer are less likely to develop depression than people who don’t. 3 For example, if you love animals, volunteer at an animal shelter. If you love helping the environment, plant trees or pick up litter. When you help others, it will make you feel better about yourself.
4 Remember, they’re there to help you be the best that you can be. Respect them and value their opinions, even if they annoy you sometimes. 5 You don’t get to choose your teachers or your family, but you still have to put up with them. Learn how to deal with people now, because when you’re an adult, you don’t get to choose your boss or your co-workers, so learn how to respect them now.
A. Live life to the fullest.
B. School sets you up on the right track!
C. Be nice to your parents and teachers.
D. Find chances to do volunteer work that interests you.
E. It will help you pass time and develop your personality.
F. Here are some important points that you may find helpful.
G. Keep in mind that they do the things they do because they care about you.

(Writing & Assessing Your Progress)
Ⅰ. 阅读理解
A
Amber has a degree in business management and economics. She put her skills to good use when she spent eleven months in Cambodia through World Hope International as a volunteer working with a local micro-finance company to help the poor get financial services.
Amber’s first few weeks in Cambodia was busy and difficult as she tried to learn the language, understand the culture and get used to her new surroundings. Her volunteer service involved working with a local micro-finance company. In addition to writing plans, preparing international marketing materials and building donor relations, Amber met with company clients. During these visits, she learnt how the small loans they received transformed their lives. She learnt first-hand the benefits of micro-finance, which by providing farmers and small-business owners with affordable working capital (such as money to buy a sewing machine) helped them to earn their way out of poverty.
“It never stopped amazing me when a client would show me a new home that was built because of a loan he received or the way a client’s business had improved and thus allowed his children to be sent to school,” Amber said.
Amber recalled that one client called Paul walked her all around his house, pointing to what he had done with each of eight loans he’d received. He explained how every loan had improved his family’s quality of life. Amber said he was one of the hardest-working men she had ever met. He had suffered greatly in the Cambodian Civil War and became disabled, but not once did he let it kill his dreams of realising a better life for his family. His latest purchase, a sound system that he rented out for weddings and other parties doubled his income!
Amber said,“Living and working in Cambodia helped me see the world in new ways and made me aware of the hardship and suffering that many people around the world face every day. Those eleven months were some of the most meaningful months of my life.”

A simple project to help a family in need stopped Luke Mickelson in his tracks. In 2012, he and his family were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed, one bed on top of the other, after learning there were local children who slept on the floor. Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community, Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.
Born and raised in Idaho, Mickelson had a thriving career. He coached his kids’ sports teams and fished in the nearby river. But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor, his peaceful life changed course.
Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money. He recruited friends and family members to help around the holidays. As the word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded—along with Mickelson’s bunk bed output. “That first project, we built 11 bunk beds in my garage,” he said. “The next year, we did 15. Then it doubled every year. In 2017, we built 612 bunk beds.”
With the motto “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town”, the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1,500 free beds to children across America. But along with the rapid growth, Mickelson was faced with a tough choice: advancing his career or his nonprofit. He chose the latter and went from making “great money” to “zero money”. He’s never looked back. “I found that the need I have isn’t financial,” he said. “The need I have is seeing the joy on kids’ faces, knowing that I can make a difference.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Mickelson为了让自己社区内无床可睡的孩子们能够有床睡觉,成立了一个公益组织“Sleep in Heavenly Peace”的经历。
( A )4. Why did Mickelson set up Sleep in Heavenly Peace?
A. To help the poor children.
B. To make a big fortune.
C. To inspire his community.
D. To get more donations.
【解析】 细节理解题。根据文章的第一段,尤其是最后一句中的“Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need”可知,Mickelson为了帮助贫困儿童创建了这个非营利组织。
( B )5. How did other people react to Mickelson’s project?
A. They showed little interest in it.
B. They were supportive and involved in it.
C. They were doubtful about the safety of the bunk bed.
D. They volunteered to buy beds with their own money.
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“He recruited friends and family members to help around the holidays. As the word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded…”可知,Mickelson的朋友和其他家庭成员都来帮忙,随着消息的传播,更多人参与进来。由此可知,人们对Mickelson创建的这个组织非常支持,并且积极参与。
( D )6. What is Mickelson’s attitude to the nonprofit?
A. Ambiguous. B. Defensive.
C. Cautious. D. Positive.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段,尤其是“The need I have…make a difference.”可知,Mickelson想要看到孩子们脸上的喜悦,他知道他在做一些有影响的事。由此可推知,他对这个组织持积极的态度。

“You can use me as a last resort (选择), and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids’ lacrosse (长曲棍球) club.
I guess that there’s probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on…At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,“Alright. Yes, I’ll do it.”
I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organises the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.
Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.
In that sense, I’m pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I’d freely like to admit. However, if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies?
( )1. What can we infer about the parent from her reply in Paragraph 1?
A. She knows little about the club.
B. She isn’t good at sports.
C. She just doesn’t want to volunteer.
D. She’s unable to meet her schedule.
( )2. What does the underlined phrase “tug at the heartstrings” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Encourage teamwork.
B. Appeal to feelings.
C. Promote good deeds.
D. Provide advice.
( )3. What can we learn about the parent from Paragraph 3?
A. She gets interested in lacrosse.
B. She is proud of her kids.
C. She’ll work for another season.
D. She becomes a good helper.
( )4. Why does the author like doing volunteer work?
A. It gives her a sense of duty.
B. It makes her very happy.
C. It enables her to work hard.

How to Have a Successful Teenage Life?
Everyone wants to succeed in their life, don’t they? Even as a teenager, you can achieve success in your life; it really isn’t that hard. 1
Do well in school. No matter how boring it is now, education will help you be a productive member in society. Try your best for excellence in school; listen to the teachers, do your homework, study, and get good grades. Doing so will help you get into a better university, which will enable you to have a bright future. 2
Do good in your community. Volunteering not only can improve your community’s status, but it could also make you happier. Studies show that people who volunteer are less likely to develop depression than people who don’t. 3 For example, if you love animals, volunteer at an animal shelter. If you love helping the environment, plant trees or pick up litter. When you help others, it will make you feel better about yourself.
4 Remember, they’re there to help you be the best that you can be. Respect them and value their opinions, even if they annoy you sometimes. 5 You don’t get to choose your teachers or your family, but you still have to put up with them. Learn how to deal with people now, because when you’re an adult, you don’t get to choose your boss or your co-workers, so learn how to respect them now.
A. Live life to the fullest.
B. School sets you up on the right track!
C. Be nice to your parents and teachers.
D. Find chances to do volunteer work that interests you.
E. It will help you pass time and develop your personality.
F. Here are some important points that you may find helpful.
G. Keep in mind that they do the things they do because they care about you.

Amber has a degree in business management and economics. She put her skills to good use when she spent eleven months in Cambodia through World Hope International as a volunteer working with a local micro-finance company to help the poor get financial services.
Amber’s first few weeks in Cambodia was busy and difficult as she tried to learn the language, understand the culture and get used to her new surroundings. Her volunteer service involved working with a local micro-finance company. In addition to writing plans, preparing international marketing materials and building donor relations, Amber met with company clients. During these visits, she learnt how the small loans they received transformed their lives. She learnt first-hand the benefits of micro-finance, which by providing farmers and small-business owners with affordable working capital (such as money to buy a sewing machine) helped them to earn their way out of poverty.
“It never stopped amazing me when a client would show me a new home that was built because of a loan he received or the way a client’s business had improved and thus allowed his children to be sent to school,” Amber said.
Amber recalled that one client called Paul walked her all around his house, pointing to what he had done with each of eight loans he’d received. He explained how every loan had improved his family’s quality of life. Amber said he was one of the hardest-working men she had ever met. He had suffered greatly in the Cambodian Civil War and became disabled, but not once did he let it kill his dreams of realising a better life for his family. His latest purchase, a sound system that he rented out for weddings and other parties doubled his income!
Amber said,“Living and working in Cambodia helped me see the world in new ways and made me aware of the hardship and suffering that many people around the world face every day. Those eleven months were some of the most meaningful months of my life.”
( )1. Amber’s volunteer work in Cambodia included all of the following things EXCEPT .
A. teaching the language
B. meeting with company clients
C. writing plans
D. building donor relations
( )2. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. Amber met with no difficulties after she arrived in Cambodia
B. Amber is the leader of World Hope International
C. few children go to school because there aren’t enough schools in Cambodia
D. many local people in Cambodia changed their lives with the loans
( )3. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. World Hope International
B. Benefits of Micro-finance
C. Amber’s Volunteer Experience in Cambodia
D. Poverty in Developing Countries

A simple project to help a family in need stopped Luke Mickelson in his tracks. In 2012, he and his family were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed, one bed on top of the other, after learning there were local children who slept on the floor. Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community, Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.
Born and raised in Idaho, Mickelson had a thriving career. He coached his kids’ sports teams and fished in the nearby river. But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor, his peaceful life changed course.
Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money. He recruited friends and family members to help around the holidays. As the word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded—along with Mickelson’s bunk bed output. “That first project, we built 11 bunk beds in my garage,” he said. “The next year, we did 15. Then it doubled every year. In 2017, we built 612 bunk beds.”
With the motto “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town”, the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1,500 free beds to children across America. But along with the rapid growth, Mickelson was faced with a tough choice: advancing his career or his nonprofit. He chose the latter and went from making “great money” to “zero money”. He’s never looked back. “I found that the need I have isn’t financial,” he said. “The need I have is seeing the joy on kids’ faces, knowing that I can make a difference.”
( )4. Why did Mickelson set up Sleep in Heavenly Peace?
A. To help the poor children.
B. To make a big fortune.
C. To inspire his community.
D. To get more donations.
( )5. How did other people react to Mickelson’s project?
A. They showed little interest in it.
B. They were supportive and involved in it.
C. They were doubtful about the safety of the bunk bed.
D. They volunteered to buy beds with their own money.
( )6. What is Mickelson’s attitude to the nonprofit?
A. Ambiguous. B. Defensive.
C. Cautious. D. Positive.
