Want to explore new cultures, meet new people and do something worthwhile at the same time? You can do all
the three with Global Development Association(GDA).Whatever stage of life you're at, wherever you go and
whatever project you do in GDA, you'll create positive changes in a poor and remote community(社区).
We work with volunteers of all ages and backgrounds. Most of our volunteers are aged 17-24. Now we need
volunteer managers aged 25-75. They are extremely important in the safe and effective running of our programmes.
We have such roles as project managers, mountain leaders, and communication officers.
Depending on which role you choose, you could help to increase a community's access to safe drinking water，
or help to protect valuable local cultures. You might also design an adventure challenge to train young volunteers.
Not only will you help our young volunteers to develop personally, you'll also learn new skills and increase
your cultural awareness. You may have chances to meet new people who'll become your lifelong friends.
This summer we have both 4-week and 7-week programmes:

We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t
even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal.
This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I
had brought a children’s book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures — a perfect match for his age.
Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he
reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger.
What’s up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the
page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid?
Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy
with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my
storybook was like that.
Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your
grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio.
I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites.
There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since
I have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for
a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.
Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I
will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.
24．What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in paragraph 2?
A．Provided shelter for me. B．Became very clear to me.
C．Took the pressure off me. D．Worked quite well on me.
25．Why did the kid poke the storybook?

Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to
fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the
50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race
walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times.
It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant
professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says. According to most calculations, race walkers
moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories per hour, which is approximately twice as
many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,0000 or more
calories per hour.
However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her
research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do
not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among
race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a
history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking
should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.
28．Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?
A．They must run long distances.
B．They have to follow special rules.
C．They are qualified for the marathon.
D．They are good at swinging their legs.
29．What advantage dose race walking have over running?
A．It’s less challenging physically.
B．It’s more popular at the Olympics.
C．It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.
高三四校联考英语学科 第 3 页（共8页）
{#{QQABAQAUogCgAAAAARgCAQkyCgAQkBGCACgOgAAIoAAAyBNABAA=}#}D．It’s more effective in body building.
30．What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking?
A．Doing regular exercises. B．Having a medical checkup.
C．Hiring an experienced coach. D．Getting experts’ opinions.
31．Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking?
A．Objective. B．Doubtful.
C．Tolerant. D．Supportive.

According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed(安装)has grown
rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a
lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be
installed near them.
Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought
to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control
weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.
“Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation
and Impact Reductions on the Environment (InSPIRE)project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute
to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development,
which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest
low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫).
Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the
past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related
to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness
guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms.
Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a
shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These
pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says
Macknick.
32．What do solar developers often ignore?
A．The decline in the demand for solar energy.
B．The negative impact of installing solar panels.
C．The rising labor cost of building solar farms.
D．The most recent advances in solar technology.
33．What does InSPIRE aim to do?
A．Improve the productivity of local farms.

{#{QQABAQAUogCgAAAAARgCAQkyCgAQkBGCACgOgAAIoAAAyBNABAA=}#}B．Invent new methods for controlling weeds.
C．Make solar projects environmentally friendly.
D．Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas.
34．What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A．To conserve pollinators. B．To restrict solar development.
C．To diversify the economy. D．To ensure the supply of energy.
35．Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B．Solar Energy: Hope for the Future
C．InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D．Solar Farms: A New Development

Are you frequently depressed by the feeling that life is leaving you behind particularly when you look over
social media sites and are faced with all the exciting things your friends are up to? 36
FOMO, or Fear of Missing Out refers to the perception that other people’s lives are superior to our own. It
appears as a deep sense of envy, and constant exposure to it can have a weakening effect on our self-esteem(自尊).
While feelings of envy and lack of confidence seem to be human nature, social media seems to have added fuel to
the fire. 37 Social media, with its built-in appeal, allows us to share only the best presentations of our
life, while leaving out the more boring aspects. Although this could be characterized as dishonest, it is the
atmosphere social media seems to demand. So how do we avoid being trapped into our own insecurities by social
media?
Consider your own social media posts. 38 Well, so have others. And what they’ve left hidden is the
fact that boredom, loneliness and unpleasant chores are an unavoidable part of everyone’s life, and you’re not the
only one feeling left out.
39 You may not be a regular at fancy parties or a climber of dizzying peaks, but you have your
health, a place to live and real friends who appreciate your presence in their lives.
Lean to shake it off. We are all flooded daily with photos of other people’s perfections, but really, what does it
matter? 40 And even if you are more easily affected than others by social media envy, all you need to do
is to look around you and acknowledge that you are doing pretty well after all.
A．If so, you are not alone.
B．Value your friends in real life.
C．Learn to appreciate the positives.
D．Why does it have such a stimulating effect?
E．They are probably no more real than the funniest reality TV show.
F．The feeling that we are left out has long-term damaging psychological consequences.
G．Have you ever chosen photos that lead others to the rosiest conclusions about your life?

Walter John was a 20-year-old college student from Homewood, Alabama. As a young man in college far
away from home, he didn't have much money. He had to work part-time to cover his living costs.
Recently he gave up his part-time job in the fast-food business and found a new one at a home-moving
company called Bellhops. The pay for his new job was higher, and John gained more flexibility with his hours,
which allowed him to focus on his studies a bit more. He wanted to do everything he could to secure this new
employment opportunity, so he thought he had to try his best to make sure that everything would go well on his first
day!
But sometimes, life hits you unexpectedly. A day before John began his new job, his car broke down! With
little money to his name, he couldn't have his car repaired at the garage. None of his friends were able to take him to
work. What was worse, the public transportation was not running at his working time. If he took a taxi, it would cost
him half his salary. Therefore, he decided to walk to the company.
In order to get there by six in the morning, he thought that the safest way would be to leave at midnight. John
even challenged himself to arrive there one hour earlier. Even though it seemed like such a far walk, John knew he

{#{QQABAQAUogCgAAAAARgCAQkyCgAQkBGCACgOgAAIoAAAyBNABAA=}#}was fit enough to do it. This was challenging, but John knew it was possible.
He grabbed his wallet and his phone and left his apartment. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he realized
that walking alone in the dark at midnight can be dangerous. Moreover, he had to walk through a large wood as well
as many blocks of the city. Therefore, he went back to take a bat （球棒）and a kitchen knife for safety purposes. In
case a wild animal or some bad person attacked him, at least he would have something for protection.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置。
Finally John started his long walk.
At that time, a car was drawing closer.
