Centuries ago, these caves were places of worship (祭祀) for Buddhist monks. Today they’re homes for 200 poor Afghan families and one classroom. Fereshta Ahmadi was able to stay in school after her family moved to the caves about a decade ago. She’s now a senior at an all-girls high school in Bamyan but she felt the need to educate the children of cave settlers. So 6 years ago, she transformed her living space into a classroom. For 2 hours every day she teaches 30 primary school-age kids different subjects including English. She says she wants to give an opportunity to the children who don’t have access to mainstream schools. “Cave settlers are no different from people who live in modern communities or people who live in fancy apartments and buildings. They, too can study, can go to public schools and take private courses so they build their abilities and development.” Using her own money, the young teacher opened a small library with 200 books to improve the reading skills of her students. She hopes to expand her cave class in the future. “My plan is to change my small course to a big school and there must be some assistance from government and /or other organizations so that I can take my services to the next level.” The children in this classroom are happy to get an education and they have big dreams for the future. “We study different subjects here, for example, Dari, math, English, drawing and reading, I want to become a doctor in the future and serve my people,” said one of the students. Years of conflict and poverty forced these families to seek refuge (避难所) in these ancient caves with no basic facilities and, previous to Ahmadi’s initiative (自发性), no chance of getting an education for the children. After an Afghan service broadcast report about Ahmadi’s school, Afghanistan’s Ministry of Education offered to help her in her efforts. 【1】What does Ahmadi think vital for the children? A. A secure income in the future. B. Their admission to college. C. A comfortable living space. D. Their access to education. 【2】What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Ahmadi has been honored. B. The mass media are powerful. C. Ahmadi’s plan is promising. D. All Afghans are left homeless. 【3】Which of the following words best describes Ahmadi? A. Adventurous. B. Selfless. C. Innocent. D. Aggressive. |

For some people, walking or running outdoors is a great way to work out. What may not be so pleasant is seeing trash all over the ground. Well, some people are doing something about it. They are plogging! “Plogging” began in Sweden. The name combines the Swedish word “plocka,” which means to pick up, and the word Jogging, which means to run slowly. A Swedish man named Erik, started the movement in 2016. On the World Environment Day website, Erik says that he moved to Stockholm from a small community in northern Sweden each day he would ride his bike to work. Concerned about the amount of trash and litter he saw each day on his way to work, he took matters into his own hands. Plogging, by that term, may have officially begun in Sweden. But many people who exercise outdoors have been doing this for years. Take Jeff Horowitz for example. He is a personal trainer in Washington, D.C. He often picks up trash while running outside. He even has turned it into a game; he will try to pick up the trash without stopping. “I didn’t know it was a thing really. This is just my personal ethics (道德标准), where I go for a run and if I happen to see a piece of garbage lying around and it’s within reach — it is a kind of a little test for me to see if I can grab it and throw it in a near trash can without stopping. And that way, I think, it gives me a little exercise and a little focus for my run. And it helps clean up the neighborhood,” he announced. Today, logging is an official activity, one that is becoming increasingly popular. Cities around the world now hold logging events, “I would just hope people would think twice before dropping a garbage on the ground. We have containers... seems on every block. So, it’s easy to put your garbage in the trash cans. I just think people should think about it a little bit more. I do hope one day there will not be a need for plogging.” said an interviewee. 【1】Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “took matters into his own hands”? A. called on people to join him. B. appealed to people to go green. C. began to pick up the trash. D. had the collected trash recycled. 【2】Like Jeff Horowitz, logging to many people has become a(an) ________ act. A. automatic B. irresistible C. arbitrary D. temporary 【3】What is the idea that Logging events are meant to promote? A. Jogging is truly beneficial. B. Trash cans should be within reach. C. Littering is not acceptable. D. Communities should be kept clean. 【4】What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. New Exercise Enjoys unbelievable popularity B. New Exercise Trend Also Helps Environment C. Plogging — a Fashionable Way to clear waste D. Plogging — an Exercise Originating in Sweden |

The United States’ job market has millions of unfilled jobs. Many of those jobs require technical skills. However, employers say many of those jobs are vacant because they cannot find people with the right skills. Labor experts call this paradox the skills gap. A number of efforts have been launched to better understand and solve it. Nicholas Wyman wrote a book called, “Job U: How to Find Wealth and Success by Developing the Skills Companies Actually Need.” He calls the skills gap, “a labor market mismatch — people without jobs and jobs without people.” In the United States, the cost of a traditional four-year college can be very high. U.S. colleges and universities produce many graduates every year. Yet unemployment rates among new graduates are high. Nicholas Wyman says a combination of technical classes and on-the-job training — an apprenticeship (学徒) — would be a better choice for many people. He notes that, “An apprenticeship is where you learn from a specialist, you are provided guidance and you learn in an on-the-job environment. It is vital to get technical skills that are of immediate value to an employer. And it is important to get transferrable skills because technology and the nature of the workplace are changing at a faster rate than before.” There are questions about the definition, size, and nature of the skills gap in the labor force. Iowa State University researchers studied some of these questions recently. They examined employment, education and population information, and found the evidence of a skills gap is weak. Iowa State’s Liesl Eathington noted that many policymakers and employers say there is opportunity in “middle skills” areas, like machining. Yet she said the most recent recession (经济衰退) hit some of those job areas hard. She said students should be on guard because “our economy really isn’t adding that many jobs that require the middle skills.” She said employers could get more well-qualified applicants if they offered higher wages. She noted that graduates of two-year training programs still generally make less money than graduates of four-year colleges. The question of finding the night person for the right job remains a difficult one. The Department of Labor says 8.7 million Armenians are unemployed and another 6.7 million can find only part-time work. 【1】The underlined word “paradox” in paragraph 1 refers to ________. A. the large number of unemployed new graduates B. the demands employers make on employees C. people without jobs and jobs without people D. people disqualified for the vacant positions 【2】What will Nicholas Wyman probably advise new graduates to do to get employed? A. To receive technical training. B. To drop the costly college education. C. To value the job opportunities. D. To arm themselves with various skills. 【3】According to Liesl Eathington, what is the solution to the skills gap? A. Reforming the dullness of economy. B. Guarding against recessions. C. Updating workers’ professional skills. D. Raising employees’ earnings. |

Prepare Yourself for a Better TOEFL Score The TOEFL is the most widely used language assessment exam for American colleges or universities. Many foreign students worry about taking the TOEFL because it is essential to meet their goals. 【1】 But a low test score will limit their choices for financial aid and admission to top schools. So how to prepare yourself for a better TOEFL score? ● What will you focus on? Plan when you will take the TOEFL. If possible, register to take the test, even if the date is several months from now. This will give you a good reason to study. Take a sample test online or from a test preparation book to find out where you need to improve the most. 【2】 This will help you to plan your studies to develop the skills you need to get a better score. ● 【3】 The Educational Testing Service website has a free online course to help you prepare for the TOEFL. There are also sample preparation questions. Apart from answering those questions, try to surround yourself with English. Listen to stories on VOA’s Learning English website. Watch movies where English is spoken. Read English-language newspapers to keep up with new words that relate to current events and technology. ● When will you study? 【4】 But if your practice test score is more than 20 points below your goal, you may need to improve your overall English ability, and that may take years. To get a good score, you need to set aside time to study, set goals, and measure your progress. The real goal of the test is to measure how well a student can communicate in an English-speaking classroom. 【5】 A. How will you study? B. Do not depend on informal advice or tricks. C Good marks on the test will open many doors. D. Do you do well in reading, but not so well in listening? E. Experts say that you should study for at least two months before taking the test. F. Expose yourself to English on a daily basis and improvement is sure to follow. G. A TOEFL score may be necessary to get a student visa to an English-speaking country. |

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。 Cassie lived a lonely life. She would wander through the forest, eating 【1】 (fall) fruits while other birds flew among the trees. “Why cannot you fly?” they would ask. “Your weak little 【2】 (wing) cannot even lift you off the ground!” they would tease her. “You’re 【3】 shame to birds,” they would offend her. Cassie was feeling increasingly frustrated and 【4】 (use), so she made up her mind to leave the forest for good. Just as she walked free from trees, she heard a deep voice 【5】 (call) from behind Cassie turned around. 【6】 was a large tree that signaled to her to come back into the forest. “We need you badly here,” said the tree. “We rely on you 【7】 (eat) our fruits and spread our seeds. The other birds may think you are worthless, but you are actually 【8】 (much) useful bird in the forest. Please don’t go, you are irreplaceable.” Cassie beamed for the first time in many weeks and 【9】 (return) to the forest. The fruits had never tasted so good. It’s easy to compare your skills to the abilities of others and feel inadequate. It’s easy to listen to the negative voices of others and believe them. But bear 【10】 mind that you are essential, you are remarkable, and you are irreplaceable! |

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 When I was ten years old, I lived with my family in a small house in rural South Jersey. I often accompanied my mother to the A&P to buy groceries. Without a car, we walked, and I would help her carry the bags. My mother had to shop every carefully, as she was a waitress, and her salary barely sustained (勉强维持) us. One day, while she was weighing prices, a promotional display for the World Book Encyclopedia caught my eye. The volumes were beautifully cream-colored. Volume I was ninety-nine cents with a ten-dollar purchase. All I could think of while shopping was the book. I stood at the register (收银台) with my mother, holding my breath as the cashier rang up the items. It came to over eleven dollars. My mother produced a five, some singles, and a handful of change. As she was counting out the money, I somehow found the courage to ask for the encyclopedia (百科全书). “Could we get one?” I said, showing her the display. “It’s only ninety-nine cents.” I did not understand my mothers increasing anxiety; she did not have enough change and had to sacrifice a large can of peas to pay the amount, “Not now, Patricia,” she said sternly. “Today is not a good day.” I packed the groceries and followed her home, upset. The next Saturday, my mother gave me a dollar and sent me to the A&P alone. Two quarts of milk and a loaf of bread — that’s what a dollar in 1957. I went straight to the World Book display. There was only one first volume left, which I placed in my cart (购物车). I didn’t need a cart, but took one so I could read as I went up and down the aisles. A lot of time went by and I knew I had to leave, but I couldn’t bear to part with the book. With no detective in sight, I, impulsively (冲动地), put it inside my shirt and zipped up my jacket. I was a tall, skinny kid, and I am certain the shape of the book was obvious. My heart beating rapidly, I headed for the register. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back home, I told my mother what I had promised the detective. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 注意: 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 |
