Volunteers Wanted
As we all know, happy people give and gain more with volunteer work. Having volunteered with
numerous beneficiaries, I’ve never regretted it. Here are a few choices for you to make a difference.
Hope Centre
Driven by the belief that animals have feelings, Animal Concerns Research and Education Society
(ACRES) educates on people on lifestyle choices that do not harm wild animals. Many opportunities are
available when you become a volunteer at ACRES.

Willing Hearts
Willing Hearts is a 100% volunteer-run soup kitchen which cooks and distributes about 3,000
meals to the needy every day. As I was cutting vegetables, this realization hit me—others struggle to put
food on the table, yet here I am taking my meals for granted ( 认为 理所当然). Everyone should
volunteer here once. As we look forward to our next meal, there are others who rely on Willing Hearts
for their basic food.

“Friends have your back,” said Christina Li about the bond between two seventh-graders in her
first novel, “Clues to the Universe.”
Li felt the same way about her best friend, Katia, whom she met in the fifth grade. Her characters
Ro and Benji are fictional, but Li drew on her feelings about her friendship with Katia to develop the
close friendship in her book. Like friends everywhere, Li and Katia enjoyed just spending time together.
They talked a lot. Li even dedicated this novel to Katia, because “she and her family have supported my
career so much,” Li said.
Li also mined her memories about another middle school experience: the science fair. “I was not a
science kid,” Li said with a laugh. She signed up for the fair on a whim (一时兴起) but ended up loving
the chance to study science. “It turned out to be a defining experience and helped me become more
confident,” she said.
That’s true, too, for Ro and Benji as they work on a rocket for their project. Rockets are Ro’s
passions. Benji prefers drawing, but he needs the credit to improve his science grade. Soon, though, Ro’s
excitement kick-starts Benji’s curiosity. Then Ro decides to help Benji with his secret search: to find his
long-absent father—who may be the creator of a popular comic called “Spacebound.” The novel is set in
the early 1980s, before Internet research was a possibility. But the science fair and their search bring
unexpected conflict.
As a kid, Li loved reading. She started writing fantasy when she was in middle school. She’s also
enjoying the connection with her young readers. Recently, Li heard from a girl who was excited to read
about the main character, Ro, who is Chinese American, like her. “Representation is so important,”she
said. “And now it’s wonderful to be able to share that in my book.”
24.What do we know about “Clues to the Universe”?
下载最新免费模拟卷，到公众号：一枚试卷君A. It is a work of nonfiction. B. It records the stories of Li and Katia.
C. It reveals the secrets of the universe. D. It is based on Li’s personal experiences.
25.How did the science fair benefit Li?
A. It satisfied her every whim. B. It boosted her confidence.
C. It helped her make friends with katia. D. It allowed her to earn credits in science.
26.What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning “Clues to the Universe”?
A. Its plot. B. Its style.
C. Its significance. D. Its background.
27.What might Li feel when hearing from the girl ?
A. Astonished. B. Confused. C. Worried. D. Pleased.

Three Latin abbreviations ( 缩写词) cause no end of confusion in English, viz. e.g. i.e.,and viz.
Itself. They seem to have appeared in the 15th and 16th centuries, when English speakers were in the
habit of borrowing terms from Latin language.
E.g. (exempli gratia, “by way of example”) is by far the most popular today, according to Google
Books Ngram Viewer. It is basically a fancy way to say “for example” as it is used to introduce specific
examples of a more general topic or point: “She trains big dogs, e.g., Great Danes, mastiffs and
Rottweilers.” E.g. always implies that what follows is not a thorough list —our trainer might also work
with, say, Irish wolfhounds—so it is unnecessary to conclude with “etc.” or “and so on.”
I.e. stands for id est, “that is.” In English it is best translated as “that is to say,” as in “My dog is a
typical Great Dane, i.e., large, faithful, and friendly.” According to Fowler’s Modern English Usage, i.e.
introduces “another way of putting what has already been said.” It is a restatement of what has come
before. This can enter into e.g.’s territory, when the restatement comprises a comprehensive list: “She
trains big dogs, i.e. , Great Danes, mastiffs and Rottweilers.” In this case, i.e. indicates that she trains
only these three dog breeds (品种).
Then there is viz., short for videlicet, which was once the most popular of these abbreviations.
Texts in the 19th century are full of viz.—yet never before employed. In 1810, it was used about 10 times
more frequently than either i.e. or e.g., appearing not just in scholarly treatises (论文) and legal briefs
but in personal letters and diaries. Writers employed it so liberally across their compositions that modern
experts have a hard time discovering rules for its use.
What most modern experts do agree on is that viz. has had its day. I.e. and e.g. are enough to
handle by themselves. As language expert Bryan Garner jokes, “How does one pronounce viz?
Preferably by saying ‘namely.’”
28.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 suggest?
A．She trains at most three dogs. B．She trains small dogs as well.
C．She prefers Great Dances to mastiffs. D．She trains more than three dog breeds.
29.What can be learned about i.e.?
A．It was more popular than e.g. B．It wasn’t frequently used until 1810.
C．It cannot be used together with “etc.” D．It is a short form of an English word.
30.What may give modern expert a headache?
A．How viz. was used in a text. B．When viz. came into being.
C．The pronunciation of viz. D．The true meaning of viz.
31.What is the true purpose of the text?
A．To warn. B．To introduce.
C．To argue. D．To entertain.

Some countries build palaces or temples as monuments to their greatness. Singapore builds hawker
( 小 商 贩 ) centers. Put casually on a plate or banana leaf are the dishes such as Indian roti prata and
Singapore laksa which are mixed with what is from Malaysia.
And since one can eat one’s fill in a hawker center at a reasonable price, it is no surprise that eight
in ten Singaporeans visit such places at least once a week, according to a survey conducted by the
National Environment Agency in 2018. Singapore is so proud of its street food that is hopes UNESCO
will include it in its catalogue of humanity’s most precious arts.
The UN’s heritage inspectors had better hurry. The average age of the chefs is 60, so sustaining the
hawker trade in the long run is hard. When old chefs pass away, many take their recipes with them, says
K. F. Seetoh. Only Singaporean citizens can work in hawker centers managed by the government. But
young Singaporeans have little appetite for working in piping-hot stalls(摊位) for long hours and little
pay.
The few young Singaporeans willing to put up with such conditions often live hand-to-mouth.
When Yu Ting Gay and Alex Ho opened their Italian-Japanese fusion stall in 2017, they hoped to earn
$1474 a month each. Most of the time they made half that. “Our pockets were quite tight,” says Ms. Yu.
Older hawkers have an unfair advantage. Many of those pay discounted rents: $200 a month on
average. They will account for 55% of the 5 500 stalls rented by the government. But a report published
by the Ministry Trade in 2015 found that even though younger hawkers have an average 15% higher
operating costs, they do not pass them on to their customers, which is discouraged by the government
too.
32. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
A.The hawker centers were built together with palaces and monuments.
B.The street food in Singapore shows the combination of different cultures.
C.80% of the Singaporeans visit hawker centers every day.
D.Singapore’s street food has already been included in UNESCO’s category.
33.What can we know about the Singapore’s street food now?
A.The young generation are unwilling to take over the job.
B.The street food in Singapore will have a promising future.
C.Most of the experienced chefs give their recipes to the young hawkers.
D.The foreigners are not allowed to work in hawker centers.
34.Which of the following statements is True?
A.The young hawkers lead a comfortable life in Singapore.
B.The government encourages hawkers to raise food price.
C.The young hawkers charge more money for the higher costs.
D.It is easier for older hawkers to run their business.
35.What’s the best title of the passage?
A.A young idler (懒汉), an old beggar. B. Striving for things will succeed.
C. The pupil surpasses(超越) the master. D. Out with the new.

The Rule of Three
You must have heard of the story or novel titles, Three Blind Mice, The Three Musketeers, Three
Wise Man in a Boat. Have you ever thought why the number three is so popular? 36 . Also,
research shows that we can recall just three to four items from our short-term memory.
What is the Rule of Three?
下载最新免费模拟卷，到公众号：一枚试卷君Plays, typically, have a three-act structure. Every film or story is divided into three parts — the
beginning, middle, and end. Three bullet points drive home the message more effectively than two or
four. The Rule of Three is a powerful technique or principle required for writing or speaking. It states
that any ideas, thoughts, events, characters or sentences that are presented in threes are more effective
and memorable. 37 .
How to use the rule in communication.
·Divide your content or speech into three parts—the beginning, middle, and end. 38
·Break the body content into the three most important points or three core ideas.
·Repeat small sentences, phrases, or words which pass on your central message. This will make
your speech more impactful and strong.
39
The Olympic motto, as we all know, is: Faster, Higher, Stronger. Besides, historical speeches are
full of such structures. Roman Emperor Julius Caesar said, “Veni, Vidi, Vici”(I came, I saw, I
conquered). When three parallel elements such as words or phrases come one after the other to
communicate a message, they are called a tricolon. This type of the Rule of Three is expressed in former
US President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s advice, “ 40 ”.
A.Final thoughts.
B.Be sincere, be brief, be seated.
C.Examples of the Rule of Three.
D.Hence, it is called the Rule of Three.
E.You should apply it in your next speech.
F.Three is the smallest number of elements needed to create a pattern.
G.Shape it up with a proper introduction, body content, and summary.

One summer vacation, I learned some kids volunteered as guide dog raisers for a guide dog training
center. Then I also wanted to take part in it. My parents supported it.
After I filled out the application form to be a guide dog raiser, two of the training center's workers
came to my house to meet me and my family. They said, “After the volunteer helps raise a guide dog
puppy for a year, the dog needs to be returned to the training center. There the dog will receive a five-
month professional guide-dog training. Then the dog will stay with a blind person and help with his or
her life.” The workers told us what a big responsibility it was to raise a guide dog puppy. And I
promised I would do a great job.
We later got a call that our puppy was coming soon—a female yellow puppy. When Dad and I
picked her up, I was glad. She was the prettiest dog I’d ever seen. Her name was Nisha. When I started
working with Nisha, I learned right away how intelligent dogs are. Guide dog puppies seem to know
they're special and were born to do special work. My main job was to help her grow, teach her basic
house rules and how to get along with people, and let her learn about public places.
Nisha loved to ride in the car. I was allowed to take her anywhere a trained guide dog could go
including stores and buses. Nisha was a good listener. Whenever I felt I needed to talk to someone,
Nisha was always there. She was a lovely puppy.
During the year, Nisha and my whole family developed a very close relationship. And we knew the
day was coming when she would have to go back to the training center for the five-month professional
guide-dog training. After that she would go to live with John, a blind man.
When it was time for her to leave, we took Nisha on her last car ride with us.
I was invited to present Nisha to John on her graduation day.
