【原文】

M: Today, I want to tell you about the Climbing Center in the heart of North Wales. It’s a good place to go, whether you’re a beginner or more advanced. The Center was started in 1952 by Peter Evans, the mountaineer. The Climbing Center shares the site with a management training college. This is open from March to November, but the Climbing Center itself only runs courses from March until September, although accommodation for climbers is available in the winter months. The Climbing Center has thirty twin-bedded rooms and ten single rooms providing accommodation for up to 70 people.

I tried a four-day course which I believe was good value at 280 pounds. The price includes all food and accommodation, equipment and instruction. However, you do need to take your own walking shoes. We spent most of our time on the mountainside learning different things. On the first day we learned how to read a map and went out to practise our skills. The next day we learned how to predict the weather. On the third day, we set off for two days’ climbing. We had to sleep in a tent so we needed to carry all our food and camping equipment with us.

There aren’t many things to do in the evenings at the Center, apart from playing table tennis. There are cinemas and bookstores in the nearest town, but it’s too far to go. People are usually too tired anyway after all the hard work during the day.

【題目】 Clara Barton, born on Christmas in 1821, is widely known as one of the most honored women in American history. She began teaching school when most teachers were men at that time. Later, she became one of the first women ever to be employed by the government.

Her career in helping the sick began when her brother David became her first patient. He fell down from the roof of a house when Clara was just 11 years old. She stayed by his side and looked after him for three years, learning how to give him all his medicines.

When the Civil War began in 1861, she immediately recognized that the poorly equipped soldiers needed help. Instead of waiting for others to step in, Clara collected necessary things on her own, asked the public for donations and learned how to store and distribute them to soldiers. She also read to the soldiers and wrote letters for them.

After the Battle of Cedar Mountain in northern Virginia in 1862, Clara arrived at a field hospital at midnight with a vehicle full of supplies. A doctor named Paul Smith at that hospital would later write, “I thought heaven had sent out an angel that night — her assistance arrived at exactly the right time.”

In 1869, Clara went to Europe and learned about the International Committee of the Red Cross. Upon her return to the United States, she successfully founded the American Red Cross. She led the organization for the next 23 years. Her last field mission (使命) as president of the American Red Cross was to help the victims of the 1900 Galveston hurricane. She did not retire (退休) from the American Red Cross until she was 83. True to her nature, Clara always went to where the need was the greatest.

Today, the American Red Cross continues the mission Clara started more than 100 years ago. With the help of thousands of volunteers, the American Red Cross provides relief to victims of disasters, as well as helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to all sorts of emergencies.

【1】We can learn from Paragraph 2 that Clara Barton was .

A.honestB.caring

C.talentedD.modest

【2】After the Civil War broke out, Clara Barton .

A.joined the army and fought bravelyB.went to Europe for further study

C.continued to work as a teacherD.did a lot to help soldiers

【3】Seeing Clara Barton’s arrival, Dr. Smith must have felt .

A.excited and gratefulB.proud and joyful

C.shy and nervousD.sad and sorry

【4】What is mainly described in Paragraph 5?

A.The aim of the American Red Cross.

B.The importance of voluntary donations.

C.Clara Barton and the American Red Cross.

D.Clara Barton’s contribution to the Civil War.

【題目】閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進行續(xù)寫，使之構(gòu)成一個完整的故事。

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living.One night I took a fare at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. I walked to the door and knocked. “Just a minute.” answered a weak, elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor.

After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 80’s stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat, like somebody out of a 1940s movie. “Would you carry my bag out to the car?” she said. I took the suitcase to the cab, then returned to assist the woman.She held my arm and we walked slowly toward my car.

She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing”, I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”

“Oh, you’re such a good man,” she said. When we got in the car, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”

I looked in the rear-view mirror(后視鏡). Her eyes were shinning. “I don't have any family left,” she continued. “The doctor says I don’t have very long.” I quietly reached over and shut off the meter. “What route would you like me to take?” I asked.

For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an operator.We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived. Sometimes she’d ask me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

As the first ray of the sun appeared, she suddenly said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.” We drove in silence to the address she had given me. It was a small hospice(臨終關(guān)懷醫(yī)院), with a driveway that passed under an entrance hall. Two nurses came out to the car as soon as we pulled up.

【題目】 As a children's author and former English teacher, Abi Elphinstone has spent almost all of her life surrounded by the written word. Now an ambassador for the charity Coram Beanstalk, Ms Elphinstone plays a key role in championing the importance of literacy (讀寫能力）and the role played by its volunteers.

The charity has teamed up with the i (a British newspaper) to increase the number of its helpers, which it sends into schools to give children aged 3 to 13 who have fallen behind with their reading or are at risk of doing so support with their reading.

“I think there is an absolute need to reach kids who don't have access to books,” she said. “Just reading for 10 minutes a day improves a child’s achievement at school. Books show children the world is big and varied and full of wonder.”

And Ms Elphinstone knows first-hand how tricky reading is from her own experience. “In class when the teacher said 'could you read aloud', the words would jump all over the page and I’d stumble （結(jié)巴）and lose so much confidence,” she said. “That was difficult. Until way after leaving school, I just assumed I needed to put in a lot more work than other people to finish an essay or process information.”

Nowadays she thinks one of the biggest challenges is the competition books face from screens, which are being used by children for everything from videos and games to social media.

“There's so much demand on their time and it’s such an easy, quick-fix demand,” she said. “It's immediate satisfaction. Screens are loud and books whisper with quieter magic, but I think the effects are transformative and they are longer lasting than a Screen.”

This is where she thinks Coram Beanstalk can help, both with reading and also making children Feel valued.

【1】Why did Coram Beanstalk work with the i ?

A.To advertise its ambassador.

B.To find more book donators.

C.To attract more people to volunteer.

D.To help increase the newspaper's subscription.

【2】What is the goal of Coram Beanstalk?

A.To teach children English.

B.To encourage reading in children.

C.To inspire children to write books.

D.To improve children's social skills.

【3】Which of the following Ms Elphinstone's school experience?

A.She had limited access to books.

B.She could hardly finish reading a book.

C.She was afraid of reading loudly in public.

D.She seldom handed in her class essay on time.

【4】What's Ms Elphinstone's opinion on screens?

A.They affect children in a quict way.

B.They have a short-term effect on children.

C.They offer children easy access to books.

D.They bring children transformative change.

On March 3, Eric Johnson was asleep when the family’s six-year-old Australian shepherd, Bella, woke him up. Bella was acting unpredictably, giving Johnson the sense that “something just didn’t feel right.” Bella sensed danger, and alerted the family to the tornado that soon destroyed their home.

When Johnson woke up, he turned on the TV and found out that a tornado was headed toward their town of Cookeville, Tennessee. He quickly grabbed his wife and their three children and put them in the bathtub. Nearly 45 minutes later, around 2:00 am, the tornado hit and destroyed the house. Johnson was thrown into the backyard.

Johnson said, “Bella was hiding under our bed when the tornado hit our house. She was thrown into our yard and survived and was missing after that. It was hard for us knowing she had survived but we couldn’t find her. She was the piece of our family that was missing.” The furious 175 mph twister destroyed everything in its path. The Johnsons would not have survived if not for Bella.

Johnson suffered a head injury and his wife had broken ribs, but they soon set about searching for their beloved heroic dog. They left pieces of clothing around the destroyed neighborhood, hoping that Bella would recognize the scent and find her way back home. Church friend and dog tracker Sarah Romeyn also joined in.

She borrowed cameras from a local animal rescue group and set them up in areas where people reported seeing her. She also worked with other dog trackers and even sought tips from residents with the help of the Putnam County Police Department.

When leads dried up, the Johnsons and Romeyn pressed on. “I was still finding time searching in parking lots, but it was tough. Because nobody had found a body, in rescue you can’t give up until you know you don’t have a positive outcome. And I hadn’t given up,” Romeyn said.

Paragraph 1: In time, they found a glimmer of hope when Romeyn got a call from friend Karen Ritacco, who said that Bella was behind her shop._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Romeyn was happy to play a part in the rescue, but also credits the community for their help.___________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
