Unit 5 Nelson Mandela — a modern hero
曼德拉——南非首位黑人总统,被尊称为南非国父。曼德拉不仅仅是一位伟人,更是人们敬仰的英雄。
Nelson Mandela, the first black president of South Africa who was a symbol (象征) of social justice (公正), passed away on Dec. 5, 2013. His death is a great loss to the whole world, since this modern hero, who used to fight for the black people, helped the black people get the same rights as white people, and began a school to help those who had little learning even during the time when he was put into prison. He was the one who always gave priority to (优先考虑) his nation.
Nelson was a great man, but he was more than a great man. He was, is, and always will be a hero. In my view, being a hero means more than making great achievements. In fact, heroes are extraordinary (非凡的), because their hearts are filled with love for people. It is this love that makes them heroes, rather than great men.
So this is the difference between great men and heroes. What makes a hero is not only one's achievements, but also his selfless (无私的) love. With great achievements and selfless love, the person can become a true hero, just like Nelson Mandela.

ELIAS' STORY
My name is Elias. I am a poor black worker in South Africa. The time when I first met Nelson Mandela【1】 was a very difficult period of my life. I was twelve years old. It was in 1952 and Mandela was the black lawyer① to whom I went for advice【2】. He offered guidance② to poor black people on their legal③ problems. He was generous with④ his time, for_which_I_was_grateful【3】.
【1】when在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词The time。
【2】to whom在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词the black lawyer。介词to与从句中的went搭配(go to sb. for advice去某人处寻求建议)。
【3】for which在此引导非限制性定语从句,修饰前面的整个句子。介词for与从句中的grateful搭配(be grateful for sth.对某事非常感激)。
I needed his help because I had very little education. I began school at six. The school where I studied for only two years【4】 was three kilometres away. I had to leave because my family could not continue to pay the school fees⑤ and the bus fare⑥. I could not read or write well. After trying hard, I got a job in a gold mine. However, this was a time when one had got to have a passbook⑦ to live in Johannesburg【5】. Sadly I did not have one because I was not born there, and I worried about whether I would become out of work⑧.
【4】where在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词The school。
【5】“this was a time when...”是常考句式,其中when引导定语从句,修饰先行词a time。
The day when Nelson Mandela helped me【6】 was one of my happiest. He told me how to get【7】 the correct papers⑨ so I could stay in Johannesburg. I became more hopeful⑩ about my future. I never forgot how kind Mandela was. When he organized the ANC Youth? League?, I joined it as soon as I could. He said:
【6】when在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词The day。
【7】how to get为“特殊疑问词+动词不定式”结构,在此处作told的直接宾语。
“The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping our rights and progress, until today we have reached a stage? where we have almost no rights at all.【8】”
【8】本句中“The last thirty years”为无生命名词短语作主语;“have seen the...rights and progress”为“see+宾语+宾补”结构,其中“stopping our rights and progress”为现在分词短语作宾补;“where we have almost no rights at all”为where引导的定语从句,修饰先行词a stage。
It was the truth. Black people could not vote? or choose their leaders. They could not get the jobs they wanted. The parts of town in which they had to live【9】 were decided by white people. The places outside the towns where they were sent to live【10】 were the poorest parts of South Africa. No one could grow food there. In fact as Nelson Mandela said:
【9】in which在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词The parts of town。
【10】where在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词The places outside the towns。
“...we were put into a position? in which we had either to accept we were less important, or fight the government【11】. We chose to attack? the laws. We first broke the law in a way which was peaceful【12】; when this was not allowed?...only then did we【13】 decide to answer violence? with violence.”
【11】in which在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词a position,其中“either...or...”连接了两个不定式短语to accept...和(to) fight the government。
【12】which在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词a way。
【13】此处“only+状语”位于句首,句子用了部分倒装结构;“only+状语从句”位于句首时,主句要用部分倒装结构。
As a matter of fact?, I do not like violence...but in 1963 I helped him blow up? some government buildings. It was very dangerous because if I was caught I could be put in prison【14】. But I was happy to help because I knew it would help us achieve our dream of making black and white people equal.
【14】because在此引导原因状语从句,原因状语从句中含有if引导的条件状语从句。
伊莱亚斯的故事
我叫伊莱亚斯,是南非的一个穷苦黑人工人。第一次见到纳尔逊·曼德拉的时候,是我一生中非常艰难的时期。(当时)我才12岁。那是在1952年,曼德拉是我寻求建议的那位黑人律师。他在法律问题上给贫苦的黑人提供指导。他不吝惜时间,我对此非常感激。
我需要他的帮助,因为我只受过很少的教育。我六岁开始上学,我仅仅读了两年的那所学校有三公里远。我不得不辍学,因为我家无法继续支付学费和车费。我既读不好也写不好。几经周折,我才在一家金矿上找到一份工作。然而,那时必须有身份证才能住在约翰内斯堡。不幸的是我没有这个证件,因为我不是在那里出生的。我很担心自己会失业。
纳尔逊·曼德拉帮助我的那天是我最高兴的日子之一。他告诉我要想在约翰内斯堡立住脚,应当如何获取所需证件。我对自己的未来更加充满了希望。我永远忘不了曼德拉是多么和善。当他组织了非国大青年联盟时,我马上就参加了这个组织。他说:
“过去30年来所出现的大量法律剥夺我们的权利,阻挡我们的进步,一直到今天,我们还处在几乎什么权利都没有的阶段。”
这是事实。黑人没有选举权,也无权选择自己的领导人。他们不能做自己想要做的工作。他们在城里不得不居住的地方是由白人决定的。他们被打发去城外居住的地方是南非最贫穷的地区。没有人能在那儿种庄稼。事实上,正如纳尔逊·曼德拉所说的:
“……我们被置于这样一个境地:要么被迫接受低人一等的现实,要么跟政府作斗争。我们选择对抗法律。首先我们用和平的方式来打破法律,当这种方式得不到允许时……只有到这个时候,我们才决定用暴力反抗暴力。”
事实上,我并不喜欢暴力……但是在1963年,我帮助他炸毁了一些政府大楼。那是很危险的,因为如果被抓住了,我可能要坐牢。但我乐于帮忙,因为我知道这将帮助我们实现使黑人和白人平等的梦想。

B
Wanda Butts dropped the phone and screamed when she heard the news that her son was dead.
Josh had drowned(溺亡) while sailing on a lake with friends. The 16-year-old didn't know how to swim, and he wasn't wearing a life jacket.
Josh was not alone in the black community. According to USA Swimming, 70% of African-American children cannot swim. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, African-American children between the ages of 5 and 14 are three times more likely to drown than white children in the same age range(范围).
In 2007, Butts started the Josh Project, a non-profit(非营利组织) that provides low-cost swimming lessons for children in Toledo, Ohio. The swimming lessons take place at a local high school over four Saturdays for a total cost of $10.
To date, the Josh Project has helped more than 1,000 children learn how to swim.
“The public pools near our home were closed, and other places were not affordable,” said Lisa Haynes, whose 14-year-old son, Joshua, is one of 60-plus students in the Josh Project this summer.
“I am less worried if Joshua is near water because he has the basics of how to swim,” Haynes said. “And we're thankful for that.”
Butts is doing much more, however, than just providing swimming lessons.
“She ups the awareness(意识),” said Shaun Anderson, a swimming coach who was so inspired by her story that he created a Josh Project swimming program at Norfolk State University. “Once these commnunities learn how to swim, they will pass it down, which results in future generations(代) that know how to swim.”
Butts said she has two wishes for the future: One is to change the drowning numbers of African-American children, and the other is to have a swimming center where the children can swim daily instead of just once a week.
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。因为一次溺水事件失去儿子的Wanda Butts创建了一个教非裔美国儿童学习游泳的非营利组织。
4.What led to Josh's drowning?
A.He was poor in boating skills.
B.He gave his life jacket to a friend.
C.He was never taught swimming skills.
D.He was careless when swimming in the lake.
答案与解析:C'细节理解题。由第二段可知,因为不会游泳且未穿救生衣,Josh在湖中与朋友们乘船航行时溺亡。
5.Why did the author list the numbers in Paragraph 3?
A.To show children under 14 are more likely to drown.
B.To argue children should learn swimming at a very young age.
C.To show many African-American children lack swimming skills.
D.To introduce the difference between African-American and white children.
答案与解析:C 推理判断题。第三段主旨句为第一句,即Josh的情况在美国非裔群体中并不罕见。接下来作者引用两个组织提供的数据来支持这个说法,70%的非裔美国儿童不会游泳,且在5到14岁年龄段的儿童之中,非裔美国儿童溺亡的人数要比白人儿童高出几倍。因此,这些数据是为了说明非裔美国儿童当中有许多人都不会游泳。
6.What can we learn about the Josh Project?
A.It has its own swimming pools.
B.It provides lessons only in summer.
C.It serves children aged from 5 to 14.
D.Its swimming lessons take place once a week.
答案与解析:D 细节理解题。由第四段中的The swimming lessons...four Saturdays以及最后一段中的where the children...just once a week可知,该组织每周六开设游泳课程,一周一次。
7.What did Lisa Haynes think of the swimming lessons the Josh Project provides?
A.Expensive. B.Helpful.
C.Interesting. D.Difficult.
答案与解析:B'推理判断题。由倒数第四段中Haynes所说的话可知,她的儿子通过游泳课程学会了基本的游泳技能,她对此很感激。因此可推断,Haynes认为该公益组织开设的游泳课程很有用。
Ⅱ.阅读填句
Go fly a kite
Learning how to fly a kite is simple, and flying kites can be a fun form of exercise.
Of course, the first thing you need is a kite and a ball of string(线). __1__ Then wait for a windy day.
When the perfect day arrives, find an open space, such as a field. __2__
Before flying your kite, find out which way the wind is blowing. __3__ To begin flying your kite, stand with your back to the wind and hold the kite up so the wind can catch it. If the day is not very windy, you may need to get your kite started by running.
__4__ At the same time, walk backwards a few steps to keep the string tight(拉紧的). Now that your kite is up in the air, you can decide how long to fly it and how high you want it to go.
__5__ Slowly wind up(卷起) the string. Try not to pull your kite in too fast or it may crash(坠落).
Flying a kite is a great way to spend a windy afternoon. If you follow these steps carefully, you will have something more fun to do than sitting inside and watching TV. So on the next windy day, get up off the sofa. Go fly a kite!
A.You can do this by throwing grass into the air.
B.Finally, you will need to bring your kite down.
C.You can buy your kite and string at a toy shop.
D.Follow the instructions to put your kite together.
E.Nothing beats seeing a kite sail high into the clouds.

G.Once the wind catches your kite, let out more string so it can climb higher.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章简单介绍了放风筝的几个步骤。
1.C'本空承接上句the first thing you need is a kite and a ball of string,说明了获得风筝和线的一种途径。
2.F'F项说明选择放风筝场所时的注意事项,与本空前一句内容相关。
3.A'A项中的do this指本空前一句中的find out which way the wind is blowing,涉及判断风向的一种方法。
4.G'G项承上启下,其中前半句承接上段使风筝起飞的内容,后半句引起下文,即如何使风筝飞得更高。
5.B'B项中的bring your kite down与下文wind up the string以及pull your kite in在意义上一致。

THE REST OF ELIAS' STORY
You cannot imagine① how the name of Robben Island made us afraid. It was a prison from which no one escaped②. 【1】 There I spent the hardest time of my life. But when I got there Nelson Mandela was also there and he helped me. Mr. Mandela began a school for those of us who had little learning【2】. He taught us during the lunch breaks③ and the evenings when we should have been④ asleep【3】. We read books under our blankets⑤ and used anything we could find【4】 to make candles to see the words. I became a good student. I wanted to study for my degree but I was not allowed to do that. Later, Mr. Mandela allowed the prison guards to join us. He said they should not be stopped from⑥ studying for their degrees⑦. They were not cleverer than me, but they did⑧ pass their exams. So I knew I could get a degree too. That made me feel good about myself⑨【5】.
【1】from which在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词a prison, from与从句的谓语动词escaped搭配。escape from表示“从……逃走”。
【2】who在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词those of us。
【3】when在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词the lunch breaks and the evenings。
【4】we could find是省略了关系词that的定语从句,修饰先行词anything。因为此处先行词anything为不定代词,做关系词宜用that。
【5】made me feel good about myself为“make+宾语+宾补”结构。
When I finished the four years in prison⑩, I went to find a job. Since I was better educated?, I got a job working in an office.【6】However, the police found out? and told my boss that I had been in prison for blowing up government buildings. So I lost my job. I did not work again for twenty years until Mr. Mandela and the ANC came to power? in 1994. 【7】All that time my wife and children had to beg? for food and help from relatives? or friends. Luckily Mr. Mandela remembered me and gave me a job taking tourists around my old prison on Robben Island【8】. I felt bad the first time I talked to a group【9】. All the terror? and fear? of that time came back to me. I remembered the beatings? and the cruelty? of the guards and my friends who had died. I felt I would not be able to do it, but my family encouraged me. They said that the job and the pay from the new South African government were my reward? after working all my life for equal rights for the Blacks.【10】 So now I am proud to show visitors over the prison, for I helped to make our people free in their own land.
【6】Since I was better educated为Since引导的原因状语从句,since意为“因为,既然,由于”。主句中的working in an office作job的同位语,解释说明job的内容。
【7】本句包含“not...until...”引导的时间状语从句,not...until...意为“直到……才……”。
【8】taking tourists around my old prison on Robben Island作job的同位语,解释说明job的内容。
【9】此处the first time用作连词,引导时间状语从句,意为“第一次……”。
【10】said后为that引导的宾语从句,其中after working all my life for equal rights for the Blacks为介词短语作时间状语。
伊莱亚斯的故事(续篇)
你无法想象罗本岛这个名字听起来多么令我们恐惧。那是一座任何人都逃不出去的监狱。在那里我度过了我一生中最艰苦的岁月。但是我到那儿时,纳尔逊·曼德拉也在那儿,他帮助了我。曼德拉先生为我们当中那些几乎没有上过学的人开办了学校。他在午休以及晚上这些我们本该睡觉的时间教我们。我们躲在毯子下面读书,用可以找到的任何东西制成蜡烛来看清书上的字。我成了一名好学生。我想为我的学位而学习,但不被允许那样做。之后,曼德拉先生让狱卒和我们一起学习。他说他们不该被阻止为学位而学习。他们并不比我聪明,但确实通过了考试。因此我知道我也能拿到学位。那让我感觉不错。
在监狱里服完四年的刑之后,我去找工作。因为我受过比较好的教育,我得到了一份坐办公室的工作。可是警察发现并告诉了我的老板我因炸毁政府大楼而坐过牢。于是我失业了。在曼德拉先生和非国大于1994年掌权之前,我有20年没有再工作。在此期间,我的妻儿只得从亲戚朋友那儿讨饭吃,并乞求帮助。幸亏曼德拉先生还记得我,并给了我一份工作,让我带旅行团去参观罗本岛上(我待过的)那座旧监狱。第一次给旅行团讲解时,我感觉很糟。我想起了那时所有的恐怖和害怕。我记起了狱卒的殴打和暴行以及我那些死去的朋友。我觉得我做不了这份工作,但是我的家人鼓励我,他们说,从南非新政府得到的这份工作和薪水是我毕生为争取黑人的平等权利而斗争所得到的回报。所以现在我很骄傲地给参观者介绍有关监狱的情况,因为我曾为争取黑人在自己的土地上的自由而出过力。

The Way Things Never Were
By Norman H. Finkelstein
Rating:4.6 out of 5 stars
It seems like kids are always hearing stories about America in the “good old days.” But, in fact, the 1950s and 1960s were not as carefree(无忧无虑的) as they sometimes seem.

B
It's 11 p.m., and I'm still sitting here writing this article for the school magazine! I've had two weeks to write it, and my teacher, Julia, wants it tomorrow. She's always complaining(抱怨) that I leave things till the last minute, Maybe she's right.
A month ago I made a decision to be more efficient(有效率的) this year. Well, I've clearly failed. I've also been trying to get fitter for four weeks now. I've started going to the health club. I've even been going to bed earlier. But I'm not feeling any fitter, just a little unhappier. I miss my bad habits. Why is leading a better life so hard?
I've just read an article on a website, and I've discovered that it isn't my fault(过错)! In fact, it isn't anyone's fault. It's our brain's. It's programmed to make it difficult to break bad habits. There's nothing we can do. Scientists have done experiments that show we use one part of our brain when we think about ourselves and another when we think about other people. However, when we think about ourselves in the future, we use the same part of the brain that we usually use to think about other people. In other words, the brain sees the “future you” as a different person than your “present you.” That's why we don't always find it easy to make good decisions for ourselves in the future.
But that's not all. Scientists have also discovered that it takes around ten weeks to form a good habit. That's the amount(数量) of time the brain needs to accept new behavioral patterns(形式). The good news is that once you make it to ten weeks, everything becomes a lot easier. The bad news is that ten weeks is a really long time, so it's easy to give up what you want to do before then.
So even when we want to change our ways and become better people, our brains won't let us. Or is this just an excuse? Look—I've finished my article on time! Anything is possible! 【语篇解读】 本文是议论文。作者分析了为何习惯不容易被改变。
5.In Julia's eyes, what kind of person is the author?
A.A bit lazy. B.Quite smart.
C.Very healthy. D.Truly honest.
答案与解析:A 推理判断题。由第一段中的Julia...always complaining that I leave things till the last minute可知,作者总是把事情留到最后时刻才做,故在老师Julia眼里,他有点懒散。
6.What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?
A.Why we can't have a better life.
B.How our brain sees ourselves in the future.
C.How our brain helps us make good decisions.
D.Why it is not easy for us to change our habits.
答案与解析:D 段落大意题。由第二段可知,作者想改掉以前的习惯却发现很难。第三段承接上段内容,由其中的It's our brain's. It's programmed to make it difficult to break bad habits可知,作者在本段介绍他看到的一篇关于大脑在人们做决定时如何运转的文章,旨在告诉读者为何改变旧的习惯是如此之难。
7.According to scientists, in order to form the habit of taking exercise, the author needs to take about ________.
A.another two weeks B.another four weeks
C.another six weeks D.another ten weeks
答案与解析:C 推理判断题。由第二段中的I've also been trying to get fitter for four weeks now和倒数第二段中的Scientists have also discovered that it takes around ten weeks to form a good habit可知,根据科学家的研究,已锻炼四周的作者,再需要大约六周的时间就能养成锻炼的好习惯。
Ⅲ.语法填空

It makes you __10__ (true) happy.”

5.to 考查介词。explain sth. to sb.意为“向某人解释某事”。

7.who/that 考查关系代词。设空处引导定语从句修饰women,且在从句中作主语,故填who/that。
8.years 考查名词复数。year为可数名词,由其前的Two可知,此处应填名词复数,故填years。
9.difference 考查名词。由前面的a(n)可知,应填名词。故填difference, make a difference意为“有影响,起作用”。
10.truly 考查副词。设空处作状语修饰happy,表示“真正地”,故填truly。

[语法详解]
定语从句除了由关系代词引导外,还可由关系副词when, where, why引导,它们在从句中作状语。
1.关系副词when引导的定语从句
when表示时间,代替先行词并在定语从句中作时间状语,其先行词往往是表示时间的名词,如time, day, hour, year等。
①We will never forget the year when the 29th Olympic Games were held in Beijing.
我们将永远不会忘记第29届奥运会在北京举办的那一年。
②He lived in a time when the blind couldn't get much education.
他生活在一个盲人得不到教育的时期。
温馨提示:when是关系副词,在从句中只能作状语,而不能作宾语或主语。关系词如果在从句中作主语或宾语要用关系代词which或that,作宾语时常常省略关系代词。
Do you remember the days when we chatted with each other all night?
你还记得我们整夜聊天的那些日子吗?(when在从句中作状语)
Do you remember the days that/which we spent together on the farm?
你还记得我们在农场一起度过的那些日子吗?(that或which作spent的宾语)
2.关系副词where引导的定语从句
where表示地点,代替先行词并在定语从句中作地点状语,其先行词往往是表示地点的名词,如place, factory, house, village等。
The house where I lived ten years ago has been pulled down.
我十年前居住的那所房子已经被拆了。
He is now working in the factory where his father worked.
现在他正在他父亲工作过的那家工厂工作。
温馨提示:(1)若表示地点的先行词在从句中不作地点状语时,不可用where来引导定语从句,若作主语或宾语时,应用which或that来引导定语从句。
This is the house which/that was built by my grandfather forty years ago.
这是我爷爷在40年前建造的房子。(定语从句中缺少主语,所以用which/that,不用where)
The school (which/that) we visited yesterday is newly built.
我们昨天参观的那所学校是新建的。(关系代词which/that在从句中作宾语)
(2)一些特殊名词后用where引导定语从句。如果定语从句前面的先行词是point, situation, condition, stage和case等,且在从句中作状语时,应用where来引导定语从句。
We have come to the point where we have to face such a problem.
我们已到了必须面对这样一个问题的地步了。
It's helpful to put children in a situation where they can see themselves differently.
把孩子们放到一个能够让他们从不同角度看待自己的环境中,这对他们有帮助。
3.关系副词why引导的定语从句
why表示原因,代替先行词并在定语从句中作原因状语,其先行词一般是reason这个词。
I don't know the reason why he didn't turn to his good friend for help yesterday.
我不知道昨天他为什么没向他的好朋友求助。
Can you tell me the reason why you didn't come to his birthday party?
你能告诉我你没参加他的生日宴会的原因吗?
温馨提示:若先行词reason在从句中不作状语,而作主语或宾语时,应用that或which来引导定语从句。
I won't listen to the reason that/which you have given us.
我坚决不听你提供给我们的那个理由。(定语从句中缺少宾语,所以用which/that,不用why)
The reason why/for which you failed, I think, was that you had not followed your mother's advice.
我认为你失败的原因是你没有听你母亲的忠告。(定语从句中缺少状语,所以用why或for which)
4.“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句
当关系代词在定语从句中作介词的宾语时,我们通常用“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句。如果指“人”,用“介词+whom”;如果指“物”,用“介词+which”。
选用介词的依据:
(1)根据定语从句中谓语动词的搭配习惯(即固定短语)。
Yesterday we visited the West Lake for which Hangzhou is famous.
昨天我们参观了西湖,杭州因其而出名。
(2)根据先行词的搭配习惯(约定俗成,不一定是短语)。
The old woman with whom you talked just now is a famous artist.
刚才和你们说话的老太太是一个著名的艺术家。
(3)根据句子的意思来选择。
My computer, without which I can't surf the Internet, broke down yesterday.
昨天我的电脑坏了,没有它我不能网上冲浪。
(4)表“所有”关系或“整体中的一部分”时,常用... of which/whom引导定语从句。
I have about ten books, half of which were written by Mo Yan.
我有大约10本书,其中一半是莫言写的。
The old man has two sons, both of whom are lawyers.
这位老人有两个儿子,两个儿子都是律师。
温馨提示:在定语从句中,有一些含介词的动词短语不可拆开使用(短语拆开后含义发生变化),如look after, look for等。
The babies whom the nurses are looking after are very healthy.(正)
The babies after whom the nurses are looking are very healthy.(误)
考情分析
关系副词和“介词+which”引导的定语从句是定语从句考查的重点和难点,尤其是“介词+which”引导的定语从句中介词的选择。另外,当先行词是表示时间、地点和原因的词时,要用哪个关系词还要看关系词在定语从句中所作的成分。
口诀助记
(口诀一)
定语从句真奇妙,
关系代(副)词来引导,
定语从句分两种,
是否限定看逗号。
(口诀二)
which指物who指人,
地点where时间when,
that人或物均可,
why之前是reason。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
On her first day teaching students from poor families at an after-school program in New York City, Alyssa Kapasi noticed how many kids were lining up for free sandwiches and fruit in the school cafeteria. One of the workers explained that many of these students don't get enough to eat at home, so a school lunch or an after-school meal might be the most food they would get all day.
Kapasi, who attends private school, was very surprised. What's more, she made up her mind to help. “I want other kids to understand that if you see a problem, you don't have to wait to grow up to fix it,” says Kapasi. She and a group of friends are now putting their programming skills to work to create an app called Food for Thought, which will allow parents, students, and even kind-hearted strangers to donate to a lunch account for a student in need at a nearby school.
About 20 million American kids receive free lunches. Two million more can have low-price meals, and those students' families have to pay for part of their food. When they don't have the money on any given day, the students might have to settle_for an “alternative(可替代的) meal” such as a cheese sandwich.
The app—which is getting financial(财政的) support from a GoFundMe page—provides anonymity(匿名) to those who receive lunch and donors. To receive help, a family will need only a recommendation(推荐) from a school teacher, and no one else has to know.
“I want to make an app that all users feel no shame in using,” says Kapasi. She hopes to test the app in a school district this fall.
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。文章介绍了美国纽约市一名叫Alyssa Kapasi的女孩设计了一款应用程序来解决贫困家庭学生的饥饿问题。
1.Why does Kapasi want to create an app?
A.To teach kids how to help others.
B.To practise her programming skills.
C.To introduce her school to the public.
D.To solve the problem of hunger in schools.
答案与解析:D 推理判断题。第一段介绍了Kapasi设计应用程序的缘由——她看到许多在学校餐厅排队领取免费食物的孩子并了解到很多孩子在家吃不饱;再由第二段中的she made up her mind to help...to work to create an app called Food for Thought可知,她致力于解决贫困家庭学生的饥饿问题。
2.What does the underlined phrase “settle for” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Buy. B.Make.
C.Accept. D.Offer.
答案与解析:C 词义猜测题。由前文中的About 20 million American kids receive free lunches. Two million more can have low-price meals可知,本段介绍了美国孩子享受免费或者低价午餐的情况。对于那些没有钱支付低价午餐的孩子,他们可以得到诸如奶酪三明治之类的食物来替代午餐。
3.What should a family do if they want to get help from Food for Thought?
A.Visit a GoFundMe page.
B.Get in touch with Kapasi.
C.Be recommended by teachers.
D.Donate something else instead.
答案与解析:C 细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的To receive help, a family will need only a recommendation from a school teacher可知,想要获得Food for Thought帮助的家庭,只需被学校老师推荐即可。
4.What can we infer about the users of Kapasi's app?
A.They won't lose face in using it.
B.They will make money by using it.
C.They will know who offers them help.
D.They won't meet their donors until this fall.
答案与解析:A 推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的The app...provides anonymity to those who receive lunch and donors和最后一段中的I want to make an app that all users feel no shame in using可知,该应用软件提供匿名服务,这样不会让使用者丢面子。
Ⅲ.阅读填句

5.D D项中的Choose a time to tidy your desk与本段小标题Clean your desk at the end of every day相呼应。

Wanda Butts dropped the phone and screamed when she heard the news that her son was dead.
Josh had drowned(溺亡) while sailing on a lake with friends. The 16-year-old didn't know how to swim, and he wasn't wearing a life jacket.
Josh was not alone in the black community. According to USA Swimming, 70% of African-American children cannot swim. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, African-American children between the ages of 5 and 14 are three times more likely to drown than white children in the same age range(范围).
In 2007, Butts started the Josh Project, a non-profit(非营利组织) that provides low-cost swimming lessons for children in Toledo, Ohio. The swimming lessons take place at a local high school over four Saturdays for a total cost of $10.
To date, the Josh Project has helped more than 1,000 children learn how to swim.
“The public pools near our home were closed, and other places were not affordable,” said Lisa Haynes, whose 14-year-old son, Joshua, is one of 60-plus students in the Josh Project this summer.
“I am less worried if Joshua is near water because he has the basics of how to swim,” Haynes said. “And we're thankful for that.”
Butts is doing much more, however, than just providing swimming lessons.
“She ups the awareness(意识),” said Shaun Anderson, a swimming coach who was so inspired by her story that he created a Josh Project swimming program at Norfolk State University. “Once these commnunities learn how to swim, they will pass it down, which results in future generations(代) that know how to swim.”
Butts said she has two wishes for the future: One is to change the drowning numbers of African-American children, and the other is to have a swimming center where the children can swim daily instead of just once a week.
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。因为一次溺水事件失去儿子的Wanda Butts创建了一个教非裔美国儿童学习游泳的非营利组织。
4.What led to Josh's drowning?
A.He was poor in boating skills.
B.He gave his life jacket to a friend.
C.He was never taught swimming skills.
D.He was careless when swimming in the lake.
答案与解析:C'细节理解题。由第二段可知,因为不会游泳且未穿救生衣,Josh在湖中与朋友们乘船航行时溺亡。
5.Why did the author list the numbers in Paragraph 3?
A.To show children under 14 are more likely to drown.
B.To argue children should learn swimming at a very young age.
C.To show many African-American children lack swimming skills.
D.To introduce the difference between African-American and white children.
答案与解析:C 推理判断题。第三段主旨句为第一句,即Josh的情况在美国非裔群体中并不罕见。接下来作者引用两个组织提供的数据来支持这个说法,70%的非裔美国儿童不会游泳,且在5到14岁年龄段的儿童之中,非裔美国儿童溺亡的人数要比白人儿童高出几倍。因此,这些数据是为了说明非裔美国儿童当中有许多人都不会游泳。
6.What can we learn about the Josh Project?
A.It has its own swimming pools.
B.It provides lessons only in summer.
C.It serves children aged from 5 to 14.
D.Its swimming lessons take place once a week.
答案与解析:D 细节理解题。由第四段中的The swimming lessons...four Saturdays以及最后一段中的where the children...just once a week可知,该组织每周六开设游泳课程,一周一次。
7.What did Lisa Haynes think of the swimming lessons the Josh Project provides?
A.Expensive. B.Helpful.
C.Interesting. D.Difficult.
答案与解析:B'推理判断题。由倒数第四段中Haynes所说的话可知,她的儿子通过游泳课程学会了基本的游泳技能,她对此很感激。因此可推断,Haynes认为该公益组织开设的游泳课程很有用。
Ⅱ.阅读填句
Go fly a kite
Learning how to fly a kite is simple, and flying kites can be a fun form of exercise.
Of course, the first thing you need is a kite and a ball of string(线). __1__ Then wait for a windy day.
When the perfect day arrives, find an open space, such as a field. __2__
Before flying your kite, find out which way the wind is blowing. __3__ To begin flying your kite, stand with your back to the wind and hold the kite up so the wind can catch it. If the day is not very windy, you may need to get your kite started by running.
__4__ At the same time, walk backwards a few steps to keep the string tight(拉紧的). Now that your kite is up in the air, you can decide how long to fly it and how high you want it to go.
__5__ Slowly wind up(卷起) the string. Try not to pull your kite in too fast or it may crash(坠落).
Flying a kite is a great way to spend a windy afternoon. If you follow these steps carefully, you will have something more fun to do than sitting inside and watching TV. So on the next windy day, get up off the sofa. Go fly a kite!
A.You can do this by throwing grass into the air.
B.Finally, you will need to bring your kite down.
C.You can buy your kite and string at a toy shop.

I had nine O levels when I left school and one was in cookery. I was surprised because I'm a terrible cook!

My main memory is what we had to wear! I had a purple skirt with yellow lines on it, and then we had those silly hats with a purple line round them. Girls would do anything to lose their hats. Then when I was about twelve, my parents moved to the United States and I went to my new school in my favourite clothes. It was great!
—Alice
I had a normal(正常的) day at school, but I also had music lessons because my parents wanted me to learn the violin. So I had special classes at school before everyone else arrived. So most pupils started at eight thirty, but I had to go to school at seven o'clock for my music lessons. Then at the end of the day, I'd do sport, so often I didn't finish until five in the afternoon. That was a long day for a ten-year-old.

B
It's 11 p.m., and I'm still sitting here writing this article for the school magazine! I've had two weeks to write it, and my teacher, Julia, wants it tomorrow. She's always complaining(抱怨) that I leave things till the last minute, Maybe she's right.
A month ago I made a decision to be more efficient(有效率的) this year. Well, I've clearly failed. I've also been trying to get fitter for four weeks now. I've started going to the health club. I've even been going to bed earlier. But I'm not feeling any fitter, just a little unhappier. I miss my bad habits. Why is leading a better life so hard?
I've just read an article on a website, and I've discovered that it isn't my fault(过错)! In fact, it isn't anyone's fault. It's our brain's. It's programmed to make it difficult to break bad habits. There's nothing we can do. Scientists have done experiments that show we use one part of our brain when we think about ourselves and another when we think about other people. However, when we think about ourselves in the future, we use the same part of the brain that we usually use to think about other people. In other words, the brain sees the “future you” as a different person than your “present you.” That's why we don't always find it easy to make good decisions for ourselves in the future.
But that's not all. Scientists have also discovered that it takes around ten weeks to form a good habit. That's the amount(数量) of time the brain needs to accept new behavioral patterns(形式). The good news is that once you make it to ten weeks, everything becomes a lot easier. The bad news is that ten weeks is a really long time, so it's easy to give up what you want to do before then.
So even when we want to change our ways and become better people, our brains won't let us. Or is this just an excuse? Look—I've finished my article on time! Anything is possible! 【语篇解读】 本文是议论文。作者分析了为何习惯不容易被改变。
5.In Julia's eyes, what kind of person is the author?
A.A bit lazy. B.Quite smart.
C.Very healthy. D.Truly honest.
答案与解析:A 推理判断题。由第一段中的Julia...always complaining that I leave things till the last minute可知,作者总是把事情留到最后时刻才做,故在老师Julia眼里,他有点懒散。
6.What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?
A.Why we can't have a better life.
B.How our brain sees ourselves in the future.
C.How our brain helps us make good decisions.
D.Why it is not easy for us to change our habits.
答案与解析:D 段落大意题。由第二段可知,作者想改掉以前的习惯却发现很难。第三段承接上段内容,由其中的It's our brain's. It's programmed to make it difficult to break bad habits可知,作者在本段介绍他看到的一篇关于大脑在人们做决定时如何运转的文章,旨在告诉读者为何改变旧的习惯是如此之难。
7.According to scientists, in order to form the habit of taking exercise, the author needs to take about ________.
A.another two weeks B.another four weeks
C.another six weeks D.another ten weeks
答案与解析:C 推理判断题。由第二段中的I've also been trying to get fitter for four weeks now和倒数第二段中的Scientists have also discovered that it takes around ten weeks to form a good habit可知,根据科学家的研究,已锻炼四周的作者,再需要大约六周的时间就能养成锻炼的好习惯。
Ⅲ.语法填空

Ⅱ.阅读理解
On her first day teaching students from poor families at an after-school program in New York City, Alyssa Kapasi noticed how many kids were lining up for free sandwiches and fruit in the school cafeteria. One of the workers explained that many of these students don't get enough to eat at home, so a school lunch or an after-school meal might be the most food they would get all day.
Kapasi, who attends private school, was very surprised. What's more, she made up her mind to help. “I want other kids to understand that if you see a problem, you don't have to wait to grow up to fix it,” says Kapasi. She and a group of friends are now putting their programming skills to work to create an app called Food for Thought, which will allow parents, students, and even kind-hearted strangers to donate to a lunch account for a student in need at a nearby school.
About 20 million American kids receive free lunches. Two million more can have low-price meals, and those students' families have to pay for part of their food. When they don't have the money on any given day, the students might have to settle_for an “alternative(可替代的) meal” such as a cheese sandwich.
The app—which is getting financial(财政的) support from a GoFundMe page—provides anonymity(匿名) to those who receive lunch and donors. To receive help, a family will need only a recommendation(推荐) from a school teacher, and no one else has to know.
“I want to make an app that all users feel no shame in using,” says Kapasi. She hopes to test the app in a school district this fall.

2.What does the underlined phrase “settle for” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Buy. B.Make.
C.Accept. D.Offer.
答案与解析:C 词义猜测题。由前文中的About 20 million American kids receive free lunches. Two million more can have low-price meals可知,本段介绍了美国孩子享受免费或者低价午餐的情况。对于那些没有钱支付低价午餐的孩子,他们可以得到诸如奶酪三明治之类的食物来替代午餐。
