【題目】 Many people don’t have a home because of an illness or because they lost their jobs. They have bad health and can’t start working, and because of that, they can’t pay for a doctor, so it’s a never-ending circle. Homeless people don’t have anywhere to go, so they have to sleep on the streets, covering themselves with newspapers and looking through the rubbish cans to find some food or warmer clothes.

Seeing these horrible living conditions, the Australian charity Beddown decided to help these people in need. They came up with an amazing idea to make shelters in places that are vacant at night-like parking lots! The organization asked one of the largest car park-opera tors, Secure Parking, and they agreed upon it.

“It was great to start with a group of our volunteers to help us and set up some beds. Although as expected we had a few challenges to overcome, it was good to start bringing Bed down to life. Beddown will provide an immediate response for those who can not sleep well to access safe, find shelter-and access to a real bed and a great night’s sleep. We will work with our other partners to provide long-term solutions to providing our guests with accommoda-tion, education and employment opportunities.” The founders of Beddown said in one of their Instagram posts.

The charity also provided other services to the guests, like doctors, nurses, dentists, hairdressers. They gave them new clothing, a place to clean themselves and helped provide social services. “After spending the week here, having a good sleep at night, it reminded me of life and I want to begin my life again,” one homeless man said.

【1】What can we learn about the homeless in Australia？

A.They live a hard life.B.They lost their families.

本文是一篇說明文。文章主要說明了澳大利亞的無家可歸者生活艱苦，一個(gè)慈善團(tuán)體Beddown利用晚上空閑的停車場，為流浪者提供休息的地方。且為無家可歸的人設(shè)立床位只是他們幫助的一部分，該慈善機(jī)構(gòu)還為客人提供其他服務(wù)，如醫(yī)生、護(hù)士、牙醫(yī)和理發(fā)師。他們給他們新衣服，一個(gè)可以自己清潔的地方，并幫助提供社會服務(wù)。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中They have bad health and can’t start working, and because of that, they can’t pay for a doctor, so it’s a never-ending circle. Homeless people don’t have anywhere to go, so they have to sleep on the streets, covering themselves with newspapers and looking through the rubbish cans to find some food or warmer clothes.可知他們的健康狀況不好，不能工作，正因?yàn)槿绱�，他們付不起錢就醫(yī)，所以這是一個(gè)永無止境的循環(huán)。無家可歸的人沒有地方可去，所以他們不得不睡在街上，用報(bào)紙蓋住自己，在垃圾桶里翻找食物或暖和的衣服。由此可知，澳大利亞的無家可歸者過著艱苦的生活。故選A。

【2】

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段中Seeing these horrible living conditions, the Australian charity Beddown decided to help these people in need. They came up with an amazing idea to make shelters in places that are vacant at night-like parking lots!可知看到這些可怕的生活條件，澳大利亞慈善機(jī)構(gòu)Beddown決定幫助這些需要幫助的人。他們想出了一個(gè)絕妙的主意，可以在晚上空著的地方搭建庇護(hù)所，比如停車場！由此可知，這些停車場的管理人員同意提供晚上空閑的停車場給那些流浪者休息。故it指代“利用停車場幫助無家可歸的人”。故選C。

【3】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中Although as expected we had a few challenges to overcome, it was good to start bringing Bed down to life. We will work with our other partners to provide long-term solutions to providing our guests with accommodation, education and employment opportunities.可知，把床送給需要的人僅僅是一個(gè)開始。我們還將與其他合作伙伴合作，為客人提供住宿、教育和就業(yè)機(jī)會等長期解決方案。由此可推知，Beddown的創(chuàng)始人說為無家可歸的人設(shè)立床位只是他們幫助的一部分。故選A。

【4】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段中Seeing these horrible living conditions, the Australian charity Beddown decided to help these people in need. They came up with an amazing idea to make shelters in places that are vacant at night-like parking lots!可知看到這些可怕的生活條件，澳大利亞慈善機(jī)構(gòu)Beddown決定幫助這些需要幫助的人。他們想出了一個(gè)絕妙的主意，可以在晚上空著的地方搭建庇護(hù)所，比如停車場！結(jié)合文章主要說明了澳大利亞的無家可歸者生活艱苦，一個(gè)慈善團(tuán)體Beddown利用晚上空閑的停車場，為流浪者提供休息的地方。且為無家可歸的人設(shè)立床位只是他們幫助的一部分，該慈善機(jī)構(gòu)還為客人提供其他服務(wù)，如醫(yī)生、護(hù)士、牙醫(yī)和理發(fā)師。他們給他們新衣服，一個(gè)可以自己清潔的地方，并幫助提供社會服務(wù)。故B選項(xiàng)“在停車場為無家可歸的人提供床鋪”最符合文章標(biāo)題。故選B。

【題目】 Young trees don’t just grow; they develop a personality and learn more about their environment and how they should best behave in it. They also help each other out whenever there’s trouble.

Personality, just as among people, varies among trees. Some are anxious, some bold. On the author’s land, there are three oak trees growing close together. One of the oak trees always starts to shed its leaves two weeks earlier than the others. Since they all experience the same temperature, the same soil and the same length of day, such variables can’t be the explanation. So what’s happening? Well, this tree is simply more careful than the others. Whoever holds on to their leaves longer can do more photosynthesis(光合作用) and store more nutrients. However, the longer a tree keeps its leaves, the higher the risk of injury.

Not only do trees make their own decisions, they also learn from their mistakes. A tree, for example, keeping its leaves too long during one year will never make this mistake again. This leads to several other conclusions:trees must notice the temperature and the length of the day and be able to save their experiences somewhere. Obviously, trees don’t have brains, but it is thought that in the sensitive tips of their roots they keep track of information and experiences.

But trees aren’t only clever when it comes to caring for themselves. They also support each other whenever there’s trouble by giving warnings and even taking care of sick and weak conspecifics with nutrients. For example, one time the author found a very old tree stump. Its insides had rotted a long time ago to topsoil. But the wood on the outside of the stump was still living. How was this possible? Well, the stump was nourished by its neighbors with nutrients from the root system, and had been for at least 400 years!

Why do trees do such a thing？It’s simple: it’s better together. Trees need the forest; it protects them from storms, provides the right microclimate and warns them of attacks.

【1】Why does the author mention the three oak trees?

A.To illustrate trees can learn from experiences.

B.To show trees can make independent decisions.

C.To explain trees are quite supportive to each other.

D.To prove trees have the same personalities as humans.

【2】According to the text, which of the following best describes general features of trees?

A.Anxious and bold.

B.Smart and adventurous.

C.Helpful and wellbehaved.

D.Adaptable and supportive.

【3】What does the underlined phrase “do such a thing” mean?

A.Give warnings.B.Offer assistance.

C.Depend on others.D.Provide nutrients.

【4】Where does this text most probably come from?

A.A public lecture.B.A science book.

C.An experiment report.D.A travel journal.

【題目】 Historians and archaeologists have defined periods of human history for centuries by the technologies or materials that made the greatest impact on society. This includes the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age. But what age are we in now? That question can be answered with one word for some researchers. Plastics.

“Plastic has redefined our material culture and the artifacts we leave behind. It will be found in stratified(分層的) layers in our trash deposits(沉積層). ” That’s according to John Marston, an archaeologist.

The wide variety of synthetic polymers(合成聚合物) would not exist if it weren’t for human action. About six billion tons of plastics have been made and spread around the planet. They have been spread from forests to oceans ever since the first plastic polymers were invented.

Plastics are one of the most significant changes that humans have made to the Earth’s makeup. Most plastics don’t easily degrade. This only adds to the problem. Recycling isn’t an adequate solution. Not all types of plastic are easily recyclable. And there are only a few recycling plants that can process all varieties of plastic.

According to Debra Winter, writer for The Atlantic, this means that many of the materials thrown into recycling bins can cross the planet several times before they are processed. They are made into rugs, sweaters, or they are used to make other bottles. Millions of tons of plastics are recycled every year, but millions more end up in landfills or the ocean. The problem has reached the point where it’s possible that in just a few decades there might be more plastic in the world’s oceans than fishes.

“Plastics have a supposed lifespan of over 500 years, so it’s safe to say that every plastic bottle you have used exists somewhere on this planet, in some form or another，” Winter writes.

The damage may already be done. It may be too late for human populations worldwide to change their plastic using ways. So the Plastic Age might soon take its place next to the Bronze Age and the Iron Age in the history of human civilization.

【1】Why do people call our age the Plastic Age?

A.Because plastics are not naturally made.

B.Because humans create plastics.

C.Because plastics influence the world greatly.

D.Because historians and archaeologists think so.

【2】According to the passage, how are most plastics dealt with currently?

A.They are recycled.

B.They are degraded.

C.They are thrown away.

D.They are made into bottles.

【3】What is the author’s attitude to the Plastic Age?

A.Negative.B.Ambiguous.

C.Favorable.D.Unconcerned.

【4】What is the main idea of this passage?

A.Plastics have ruined our environment.

B.We must stop using plastics altogether.

C.Human beings are in the Plastic Age.

D.Plastics are significant to human development.

On July 5th my little dog Milo escaped from my yard fencing by bars. I suspected it was the fireworks on July 4th which frightened him. He headed for miles to the 1-5 freeway, running in and out of the traffic on it. A young couple spent several hours driven him away by car and on feet and rescued him. Having been noticed my phone number on his collar, they called me. They waited me in a supermarket parking lot after I came to pick him up. If it hasn't been for them, he would sure have been killed on the freeway. Their kind will never be forgotten!

【題目】 Last year, I went WWOOFing (Willing Workers on Organic Farms) at a beautiful organic farm in the south of La Reunion. With WOOFing, volunteers exchange their time and work for food and board. I slept in a cabin in the woods with hedgehogs (刺猬) digging about in the bushes, all different coloured birds singing in the morning and endless rows of palm trees offering shade from the sun.

For me, one of the best ways to get to know a new place is to work with the land, live with the locals and share meals together. It has got to be one of the best ways to travel. It is a mutually beneficial exchange where everyone involved prioritizes people and our planet above profit. You get the time and space to deepen a connection with local communities and nature.

There is a lot to learn and each farm has its own unique way of doing things, depending on the environment, climate and soil. At the farm in La Reunion we planted palm trees to harvest the core of the trunk which can be eaten in salads. Before staying with the farm I had only eaten heart of palm from cans which were nothing in comparison to the real thing, fresh from the ground. When potting up the very beginnings of the palm trees, I felt grateful to be a part of the start of the trees’ cycle. I was filled with awe that something so small could grow into something so big and strong.

Of course, not everyone is able to travel far afield, due to various restrictions or responsibilities back home. The great thing about the skill-share philosophy behind WWOOFing, which prioritizes people above profit, is that it’s something we can all do from our own backyard. That can be swapping French lessons with a neighbour for babysitting, or cooking a meal in exchange for a yoga class. The focus shifts from money to how we can best support each other in our communities. A fair exchange can make a big difference in the world.

【1】The author loves WWOOFing mainly because .

A.he can get to know new places and people

B.it is one of the best ways to travel

C.he can make profits at the beautiful organic farm

D.he can connect with local communities and nature

【2】What does the underlined word “prioritizes” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.Take something more seriously.

B.Treat something more carefully.

C.Consider something more important.

D.Take something for granted.

【3】Why does the author mention “palm trees ’’again in Paragraph 3?

A.To show that he learns a lot by volunteering on the farm.

B.To introduce the growing process of palm trees.

C.To express his interest in growing plants on the farm.

D.To show his amazement at the growth of palm trees.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.We should exchange what we have with our neighbors.

B.We can save money by swapping labor with our neighbors.

C.We can benefit each other by exchanging our time and work.

D.We should volunteer to work on a farm to experience nature.
