Ryan Hreljac is a boy living in Canada. Without his help, hundreds of wells that now provide fresh water for people in Africa, Central America and India might never have been built. Ryan is what you might call a water ambassador(大使). He traveled the world to tell people how they can help solve a big problem: the lack of safe drinking water in many developing countries. Ryan’s efforts didn’t begin in a far-off place, but right at home in Kemptville, Ontario. When he was 6 years old, Ryan learned from his teacher that children in Africa often must walk miles each day to find water. Some even die from drinking bad water, his teacher said. So Ryan decided to act. He did chores for his parents and neighbors. He spoke to schools, churches, and clubs about his goal. The word spread. After several months of hard work, Ryan had raised $ 2, 000, enough to dig one well. An organization called Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief (CPAR) chose a site for the well in the village of Agweo, in Uganda. Two years later, CPAR arranged for Ryan to visit Uganda for the opening ceremony of the well. Ryan met a new friend named Jimmy. Then they formed a close friendship. He often traveled with Ryan to explain how water changed his life. After the first well, “the ripple(涟漪) effect took over,” Ryan says, “and one goal led to another. ” With adult help, he founded Ryan’s Well Foundation to educate people about the importance of water. Now the foundation has raised more than $ 1. 5 million and built 255 wells that serve more than 427, 000 people in 12 countries. Ryan has received many awards but he isn’t bragging(炫耀). “The most impressive people I’ve met are the other kids who want to help too,” he says. “I’m just a typical kid. I had a small dream, and I stayed with it. Everybody can do something.” 【1】What problem is Ryan working to solve? A.The effect of poverty on children. B.The diseases caused by polluted water. C.A lack of safe drinking water. D.A lack of money to save water. 【2】How did Ryan earn money for his first well? A.He created an educational foundation. B.He traveled to villages across the world. C.He started a website to ask for donations. D.He did chores and sold his idea. 【3】To make a dream come true, what would be the most important for Ryan? A.Making friends. B.Not giving up. C.Knowing his limits. D.Not bragging about awards. 【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.A Story of a Well B.A Boy Who Makes a Difference C.An Organization of Saving Water D.A Well That Brought People Together |

Breakfast is food for the brain and for the rest of your body. And downing those morning calories is worth it, even for people worried about their weight, a new study finds. The study was led by Marlene Schwartz, a psychologist who studies obesity. Her group studied some 600 middle-school students. Over three years, students from 12 different schools were asked about their breakfasts. Throughout the study about 34 % — 44% of all students said they regularly ate breakfast at home. Up to 17%, or almost one in every six kids, regularly ate breakfast at school. Overall, about one in every 10 kids reported eating breakfasts both at home and at school. Eating habits changed somewhat as the kids got older. For example, fifth graders were more likely to regularly eat breakfast at home. But by seventh grade, 22% of the studied kids often skipped breakfast. Surprisingly, at every age, kids who ate breakfast were less likely to be overweight. This was true even for those who ate breakfast at home and at school. It also found that students who skipped breakfast most often were those most likely to be overweight. These findings may seem puzzling. Yet Schwartz’s team can think of several possible explanations. Skipping breakfast may set people up to be “over-hungry” later in the day, she says. Then someone may eat more food than their body needs. When that happens, it might take the brain longer to realize “you have enough food and can stop eating now”. What’s more, not eating in the morning prevents our brains and bodies from working well. It’s very difficult for children to pay attention in class if they arrive without having breakfast. But why should eating two breakfasts not lead to weight gain? One explanation may be that school breakfasts are very healthy and controlled in size, notes Schwartz. Also, most of the double- breakfast eaters are boys. These kids are active and actively growing. They sometimes eat twice as much as other people. 【1】What is the function of the first paragraph? A.To introduce the topic. B.To make a comparison. C.To show the background. D.To attract readers. 【2】What do we know about the new study? A.Its leader was a middle-school teacher. B.It was carried out among teachers. C.It lasted more than three years. D.Its findings were doubted by many people. 【3】According to the study, about sixty students________. A.ate breakfast regularly at home B.ate breakfast regularly at school C.seldom ate breakfast D.ate two breakfasts regularly 【4】What may happen to a boy who eats breakfast regularly according to Paragraph 4? A.He may put on weight. B.His brain and body work badly. C.He is very likely to be focused in class. D.He is sure to have a healthy weight. |

During the ongoing battle against the Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia (NCP)(新型冠状肺炎), you may have read news that garlic can quickly kill the virus but it proved to be misinformation. While the nation continues to fight against the NCP, it’s also stepping up efforts to fight the spread of misinformation. In the Internet era, the nature of how information spreads has changed largely. Information and misinformation can spread to thousands of people in seconds. For most people, fact-checking is an afterthought — if it is a thought at all. Therefore, misinformation spreads, said The Washington Post. People simply prefer passing on information that will lead to an emotional response(反应) from readers. Whether or not it is factual is not always important. Misinformation could be a greater danger than the virus itself. Misinformation is “making the work of our heroic workers even harder”, World Health Organization(WHO) Director-General Tedros told China Daily. He said misinformation “causes confusion and spreads fear”. During the fight against the NCP, Ghebreyesus said that “at the WHO we’re not just fighting against the virus, we’re also battling conspiracy(阴谋) theories that undermine our response. ” It is true that as China races to contain the NCP and minimize(减少到最低限度) its spread across countries, fears and rumors(谣言) surrounding the virus are creating their own problems on social media. “Ironically(讽刺地), speed is important on those things,” US professor Gabriel Kahn told The Los Angeles Times. “But.... those are the ones you have to be most certain about verifying (验证) before you share.” As ordinary people, we may not be able to devote ourselves like those medical staff. But we could think twice about what we read. If you can be careful about sharing information, it’s your contribution to the fight against the outbreak. 【1】According to the article, what is the main cause of the spread of misinformation? A.The lack of fact-checking. B.An increase in viruses. C.People’s desire to trick others. D.Changes in the way people view information. 【2】What does the underlined word “undermine” in Para.5 probably mean? A.Test. B.Harm. C.Guide. D.Explain. 【3】What problem has been found during the battle against the NCP? A.People have fears caused by misinformation. B.It is hard to deal with misinformation across countries. C.Rumors about the virus travel too fast to be controlled. D.Social media creates problems for people to verify misinformation. 【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the article? A.To share tips on how to fight against misinformation. B.To introduce some misinformation about the NCP. C.To call on people to watch out for misinformation. D.To tell people what China has done to deal with misinformation. |

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数为150左右。 A light knock on the door brought me from my kitchen. Because we had just moved into a new neighborhood, I couldn’t imagine who it would be. When I opened the door, an old man stood there, who was dressed in dirty clothes and wearing dirty rubber boots. His hand hung a plastic bag. “Can I help you?” I asked. “Would you like to buy some fresh garden vegetables?” he said, his blue eyes full of hope. “Are they from your garden?” I looked inside his plastic bag and saw some carrots with soil. “Yes,” his voice was soft. “And I can get some apples from a tree in my yard. Would you like some of those, too? ” My heart softened, and I wondered if he was badly in need of quite a bit of money. With a sigh(叹息) I said, “Please step inside and I’ll get my money. ” The next day, he knocked at our door again. This time, my little four-year-old daughter got there first. “Oh, hello. Would you like to come in for tea? ” Without a second thought, the old man stepped inside and held out a broken basket with several bruised(擦伤的) apples. “From my tree,” he said, removing a worn cap. “You might like to make apple pie.” The three of us sat at the kitchen table and drank our tea. It was clear that my daughter liked hosting a visitor in her never-ending questions. “What is your name? Where do you live? Why are your clothes so dirty?” The homeless-looking man laughed as he answered each question. His name was Mr. Locket and he lived around the corner. His wife had passed away several years before, and his children all lived far away. He was lonely. His need for company(陪伴) had sent him door to door selling fruit and vegetables. Ours was the only door opened to him. Paragraph 1: When he finished the tea, he said he had to go home and promised to return the next day. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Several years later, a small envelope was delivered to our home — a letter from the old man’s daughter. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
