Many people around me make a difference to the world on a daily bas — being kind in unexpected ways and sharing the generosity of their lives with others. I, like many of them, volunteer some of my time in order to give back just a little of what I am so blessed to have. I volunteered to go to Guatemala with an eyeglass team from International Relief Teams — an organization I have supported in other ways for many years. Our team went to a small town in Guatemala, San Augustin. We set up our tables and packages of pre-made glasses in the dirty courtyard of a clinic, put up the Snellen chart (an eye chart) on a wall, and began our work. Young and old people came from many of the surrounding towns. Most had never received an eye exam before. They waited for hours patiently in the sun, never complaining. If we could help them out, their thankfulness for a simple pair of glasses was overwhelming. Some only left with eye drops or sunglasses, and even these people expressed their gratitude sincerely. All of them were very generous with blessings and smiles. We heard over and over from people who knew their eyes needed help but they had not gone to a doctor because it was too expensive, or had not got the glasses they needed for the same reason. It’s so easy to overlook how much difference the volunteers’ small actions can make to the lives of people in Guatemala. The glasses in my country are so easily available, but to people in Guatemala, they are not. As those who could give them a hand, we watched their lives change. What a gift sight is — and what a difference being able to see clearly makes! Here, we’d like you to join us and take action to help people in need. And every day, those actions change lives. No action is too small; no action is ever wasted. 【1】According to Paragraph 1, the author is probably ________. A.a major host of good deeds B.a sponsor of an eyeglass team C.a generous neighbor in his community D.a supporter of International Relief Teams 【2】What do we know about the volunteers in the eyeglass team? A.Their working environment is simple. B.They are medical experts nationwide. C.Their initial preparation is inadequate. D.They have served people in Guatemala for years. 【3】Which of the following words can be used to describe most people in Guatemala? A.Kind and helpful. B.Poor but grateful. C.Considerate and patient. D.Knowledgeable but unhealthy. 【4】What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A.Rome was not built in a day. B.Actions speak louder than words. C.Don’t look down upon those less fortunate. D.Don’t take what you have today for granted. 【5】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A.To urge people to protect their eyes. B.To ask people to volunteer in Guatemala. C.To call on people to do good deeds in daily life. D.To show the difficult life of people in Guatemala. |

The Hope Diamond is one of the world’s most famous jewels. It was in the possession of a series of people: kings, bankers, rich women and thieves, before its arrival 60 years ago at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. As a rare blue diamond, it has a complex social history, to be sure. But, far more so is its geological history, researchers say in a new report. This is the first time anyone has come up with a fact-based study or model for how blue diamonds form. The group looked at 42 blue diamonds, including one from South Africa that recently sold for $25 million in 2016. Researchers could tell where the stones were formed based on the very small minerals trapped inside. Diamonds are a hard, clear form of pure carbon called a crystal (结晶). They form under extreme heat and pressure. Blue diamonds crystallize alongside water-bearing minerals that long ago were part of the floor of the sea. But these minerals were pushed deeper underground during the movement of the Earth’s plates. Scientists already knew these diamonds received their blue color from the element boron (硼). The study says that boron had once been in ocean water but was eventually pushed into the seafloor rock. Over millions of years, the boron continued to move deep underground. Many diamonds appear colorless. Often, however, they have some yellow color. Still others have a light brown, pink or green color. About 99 percent of all diamonds form somewhere between 150 to 200 kilometers underground, a far shallower birthplace than their blue relations. “These diamonds are among the deepest ever found,” Carnegie Institution for Science geochemist Steven Shirey said of the blue diamonds. The public can see the Hope Diamond at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. 【1】By saying the underlined part in Paragraph 2, the researchers mean the blue diamond ________. A.was formed in extreme weather B.has a very complex forming history C.has a far-reaching influence in society D.used to be very popular among rich people 【2】How could researchers know the blue diamonds’ birthplaces? A.By observing their colors. B.By studying their structures. C.By referring to where they were found. D.By examining tiny substances in them. 【3】What makes the diamonds appear blue? A.The water. B.Extreme heat and pressure. C.A special matter. D.The seafloor rock. 【4】What is special about blue diamonds compared with diamonds of other colors? A.They contain several colors. B.They form in much deeper underground. C.They come into being in a different way. D.They are found near the earth’s surface. 【5】What is the passage mainly about? A.The social status of the Hope Diamond. B.The discovery of the Hope Diamond. C.The formation of the blue diamond. D.The diversity of diamonds. |

Every day around the world, thousands of people with little to no scholarly training in art history walk into museums. They may or may not read notice boards that share relevant information of the artworks or artists. Imagine, before being permitted to direct their eyeballs to the art on the walls, museum visitors were required to read a 15- or 20-page introduction to each piece or each artist. How many people would go to museums if that were the case? Yet this seems to be the expectation when it comes to reading classic literature. Classic novels typically come with 15- or 20-page introductions, which often include spoilers, assuming that readers do not come to classic books to discover, be absorbed in, and be surprised by the story world. Also, apparently, we mustn’t read classics alone, without experts guiding our experiences. However, classic literature is in a unique position to show us that we’re not alone in our pains and joys. By taking us out of our time, classic books free us to see beyond the set of beliefs we stick to and to connect human experiences that remain alive across time and place. What could be more grounding, more comforting, than seeing ourselves in the battles, longings, and pleasures that have played out across hundreds, thousands of years of human history? Our personal engagement is the first step of a longer journey of discovery that deepens our knowledge and understanding of ourselves and our world. We may, for example, feel for Hester Prynne from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter though we despair of the world she lived in. While we’re letting go of things, let’s stop worrying about understanding everything. We can’t. It will be fun if we embrace curiosity, the pleasure of working out a mystery, and our common relationships as humans. We can feel, for example, the power of self-sacrifice in Charles Dickens’A Tale of Two Cities even when we lack full understanding of the cultural references and language. 【1】Most museum goers ________. A. enjoy reading notice boards B. understand the artworks well C. lack professional art knowledge D. share common interest in artworks 【2】What can the spoilers in Para.2 possibly be ? A. Story writers. B. Readers’ expectations. C. Guiding experts. D. Plots given away in advance. 【3】What prevents readers enjoying reading classics? A. Showing curiosity about the writers. B. Letting go of things. C. Trying to understanding everything. D. Working out mysteries. 【4】What message is mainly conveyed in the passage? A. We should find more fun from classics. B. Reading classics is a personal exploration. C. Experts need to give readers better guidance. D. Classic literature benefits readers a great deal. |

阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 When I was young, my mum had a hard time. Five years earlier, my Dad drowned. The burden to raise us kids only fell on my mum’s shoulders. Because Dad had no pension, there was not much money. Thus, we went on relief (救济), now called social assistance. Looking back, I realize what Mum went through, sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because our soles were worn out. Constant moving was typical for my family in these times. I still remember that once the rent for a house was twenty-five dollars a month. But Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be evicted right after Christmas on the first of January. Unexpectedly, when Christmas was approaching, we received a twenty-five dollar Christmas fund for social services. Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the money to pay rent, assuring us all of a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas. I had a secret that was unknown to Mum. I had been selling Christmas trees, and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of comfortable boots for myself. Well, the big day came on the afternoon of the Christmas Eve. I was very excited. But on the way to the boots store, I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then that I realized at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor turkey or ham for Christmas. I felt very sad. I was eleven years old, and I was feeling a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of boots while Mum was home in tears. She would be trying to explain to us why there were no presents. So finally, I bought a turkey, ham, oranges and all the Christmas treats with my hard-earned money. Later, with great excitement in my eyes, I knocked on the door. When my mum opened the door, some of the groceries fell onto the floor, and she just stood there surprised. Holding back the tears, I said, “Merry Christmas Mother!” I did a lot of explaining as we unpacked all the food. That day I got enough hugs and kisses from Mum. She said I had grown up. 【1】Why did the author’s mother have a hard time? (no more than 12 words) 【2】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
