When a group of college students put their sorrows into action, they never imagined the project would fuel a
nationwide movement to help deal with hunger and control on food waste.
But that’s exactly what the Farmlink Project has done since 2020, bringing together hundreds of young
volunteers to rescue nearly 77 million pounds of excess food and deliver it to those in need. The organization’s
efforts help farmers, the environment, and people struggling to feed their families all at once.
“In the United States, 40 million Americans don’t have enough food to eat. They don’t know where their next
meal is going to come from,” said Aidan Reilly, who co-founded Farmlink. “Meanwhile, in the United States, we’re
throwing out over 100 billion pounds of food every year.”
Back in 2020, Reilly and his childhood friend James Kanoff were reading and watching news about food
shortages, and they learned that area farms were forced to destroy excess produce that they couldn’t sell, especially
with restaurants, schools and hotels closed. Reilly, Kanoff and a core group of friends worked together over Zoom,
texted and e-mailed to contact farms coast to coast. “We didn’t really set out to start a nonprofit,” Reilly said. “We
just thought, ‘There’re so many people suffering, if we can figure out one way to help, then that’ll be great.”
In California, they found a farmer who had 13, 000 eggs that could be donated, and Reilly offered to do the
pickup and delivery himself. That was the first of many more deliveries. With “we’ll come to you” as their
catchphrase (标语), the group rented U-Haul trucks and attempted to do all the food pickup and deliveries
themselves.
“We had a lot of small problems in the beginning,” Reilly said. “We broke axles (车轴), loaded in 40, 000
pounds of potatoes in a wrong way and had to try to drag them out by using another truck and a rope. But we made
it work.”
“Farmlink has worked with more than 100 farms and 300 communities in the US, rescuing and moving
enough food to distribute more than 64 million meals,” Reilly said.
4．What can we learn about Farmlink Project from the text?
A．It was launched by some college students.B．It helps relieve American poverty.
C．It cooperated with the farms worldwide. D．It is supported by the government.
5．Why did some farms waste the produce left?A．The produce was of poor quality.
B．Nobody came to purchase the produce.
C．The farmers refused to sell it at a low price.
D．Food shortages were no longer a problem globally.
6．What difficulty did the students encounter in the start-up phase?
A．They were lacking in experience. B．They overloaded the supply.
C．Their navigation aids didn’t work. D．The vehicles were inadequate.
7．What is the text mainly about?
A．Americans faced a food shortage crisis.
B．Farmers in poor areas worried about food waste.
C．Volunteers delivered farm produce to those in need.
D．Students took action to tackle hunger and food waste.
【答案】4．A 5．B 6．A 7．D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲一群美国大学生将悲伤付诸行动，推动一场全国性的运动，帮助解决饥
饿和控制食物浪费的故事。
4．细节理解题。根据第一段“When a group of college students put their sorrows into action, they never
imagined the project would fuel a nationwide movement to help deal with hunger and control on food waste. (当一
群大学生将他们的悲伤付诸行动时，他们从未想到这个项目会推动一场全国性的运动，帮助解决饥饿问题
和控制食物浪费)”可知，这个项目是由一些大学生发起的。故选A。
5．细节理解题。根据第四段“Back in 2020, Reilly and his childhood friend James Kanoff were reading and
watching news about food shortages, and they learned that area farms were forced to destroy excess produce that
they couldn’t sell, especially with restaurants, schools and hotels closed. (早在2020 年，赖利和他儿时的朋友詹
姆斯·卡诺夫在阅读有关粮食短缺的新闻时就了解到，该地区的农场被迫销毁卖不出去的多余农产品，尤其
是在餐馆、学校和酒店关闭的情况下)”可知，造成农民食物浪费的原因是没有人来购买这些剩余的农产
品。故选B。
6．推理判断题。根据第六段““We had a lot of small problems in the beginning,” Reilly said. “We broke axles
(车轴), loaded in 40, 000 pounds of potatoes in a wrong way and had to try to drag them out by using another truck
and a rope. But we made it work.”(“一开始我们遇到了很多小问题，”赖利说。“我们弄坏了车轴，用错误
的方式装了4万磅土豆，不得不用另一辆卡车和一根绳子把它们拖出来。但我们成功了。”)”可知，“缺
乏经验”（而导致犯错）是他们最大的困难。故选A。
7．主旨大意题。根据第一段“When a group of college students put their sorrows into action, they never
imagined the project would fuel a nationwide movement to help deal with hunger and control on food waste.(当一
群大学生将他们的悲伤付诸行动时，他们从未想到这个项目会推动一场全国性的运动，帮助解决饥饿和控
制食物浪费)”结合文章主要是介绍一群美国大学生推动一场全国性的运动，帮助解决饥饿问题和控制食物
浪费，D“学生们采取行动解决饥饿和食物浪费问题”符合文意。故选D。

My husband Robert and I had volunteered to help build an irrigation (灌溉) system for bananas in Zambia.
The Heart of Africa Mission is run by local Zambians, with a focus on community development. We were there to
share our agricultural (农业的) experience and knowledge with the African farmers.
We left snow-covered Alberta, Canada in January. We spent the next four weeks working side by side with the
local Zambians in a banana plantation (种植园). The banana plantation would help make the Heart of Africa
Mission self-supporting. It would also teach banana farming to the students there. Students would go on to teach
others. It has done that and more. Through the jobs created, several families now have food, education for their
children, and enough housing. The plantation is producing well and is a source of great pride for all who work
there.
My husband worked hard at building the irrigation system. But the story he tells most often is of the young
man who stopped us on one of our walks somewhere. He pointed to his bike, and laughing widely, told Robert,
“Look, look, it still works.” Robert had repaired it for him. A bike in Zambia is like a truck in North America—
necessary transportation for people and produce. Robert’s small effort made a big difference in this man’s life.
“We sure appreciate (感激) your sacrifice (牺牲),” our organizer often says. For us it was never a sacrifice,
only an honor to have the chance to work in a place so far from our own, to be able to exchange ideas and thoughts.
All this happened while living in a beautiful sunny country in the green of the rainy season, while at home in
Alberta, the snow would cover the landscape (风景) for months. No, the volunteer work was never a sacrifice. It
was only an honor.
11．What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph?
A．She likes to take adventures. B．She is probably an expert in agriculture.
C．She started the Heart of Africa Mission. D．She used to live in Africa for a long time.
12．Which of the following best describes the author’s volunteer job?
A．Costly. B．Tiring. C．Challenging. D．Fruitful.
13．Why did the young man stop the author and her husband?
A．To ask for help. B．To express his thanks.
C．To show his cycling skills. D．To tell them about his work.
14．Why did the author consider the volunteer work an honor?
A．It enabled her to work harder. B．It brought her public recognition.
C．It made her appreciate her life more. D．It allowed her to experience different things.
【答案】11．B 12．D 13．B 14．D
【导语】本文是篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和丈夫曾经远离家乡，自愿来到赞比亚帮助建立一个香蕉灌溉系统，在那里与非洲农民分享他们的农业知识和经验，得到了当地人民的感激，而他们自己也为此感到光
荣。
11．推理判断题。根据第一段“My husband Robert and I had volunteered to help build an irrigation (灌溉)
system for bananas in Zambia. ”（我和丈夫罗伯特自愿帮助赞比亚建立一个香蕉灌溉系统。）和“We were
there to share our agricultural (农业的) experience and knowledge with the African farmers.”（我们在那里与非洲
农民分享我们的农业经验和知识。）可知，作者在农业方面给了赞比亚极大的帮助，很可能是一名农业方
面的专家。故选B。
12．推理判断题。根据第二段“Through the jobs created, several families now have food, education for their
children, and enough housing.”（通过创造就业机会，一些家庭现在有了食物，孩子有了教育，有了足够的
住房。）可知，作者的志愿者工作富有成效，为当地人带来了很大的收获。故选D。
13．推理判断题。根据第三段“He pointed to his bike, and laughing widely, told Robert, “Look, look, it still
works.” Robert had repaired it for him.”（他指着他的自行车，大笑着对罗伯特说：“看，看，它还能用。”
罗伯特已经替他修好了。）和“Robert’s small effort made a big difference in this man’s life.”（罗伯特的小小
努力给这个人的生活带来了巨大的改变。）可知，罗伯特为这个年轻人修好了自行车，给他的生活带来了
巨大的改变，他是为了感谢作者夫妇才拦住他们的。故选B。
14．细节理解题。根据最后一段“For us it was never a sacrifice, only an honor to have the chance to work in a
place so far from our own, to be able to exchange ideas and thoughts.”（对我们来说，这从来不是一种牺牲，而
是一种荣誉，有机会在一个远离家乡的地方工作，能够交流思想和想法。）可知，作者认为这份志愿者工
作能够在远离家乡的地方工作，让她有不同的经历和体验，了解不同的思想和想法，所以是一种荣誉。故
选D。

Visiting Ireland? Here’s what the locals love to do.
Find legends on a mountain hike
Walking is one of the best ways to get to know Ireland. “I’ve been walking for about 30 years, but I’m still
trotting off to find new routes, and all of the walks seem to have stories,” says John G. O’Dwyer, author of 50 Best
Irish Walks.
Feast on Irish flavors at a food truck
“Ireland’s casual food has been elevated,” said food writer Ali Dunworth. These days, food trucks, pop-up
stores, and shacks are fun places to taste soulful pub fresh seafood and toasties (toasted sandwiches)with farmhouse
cheese.
Visit a castle by boat
Marnie Corscadden, owner of Ballyseede Castle in Tralee, is attracted by Cloughoughter Castle, in County
Cavan. Cloughoughter Castle is a four-story stone tower castle consisting of a single circular tower with high walls
and a moat (护城河) surrounding it. Each floor has a curved ceiling, and the staircase winds along the inner walls.
Despite being heavily damaged, the castle remains a popular tourist attraction. "Nestled on a small island, this
dreamy castle is like something from a fairytale,” she said. “The fact that it’s so remote and can only be accessed by
boat adds to its mystery and appeal.”
Get lost on a bike ride“In Ireland, there are thousands of miles of quiet country roads where everyone you encounter is more than
willing to give directions and point out places to visit,” said Ciaran Cannon, an official in Galway East, who cycled
through all 32 counties for charity. A growing network of greenways rebooting derelict railways, such as Royal
Canal and Limerick, are great for taking in the countryside.
15．How can a visitor get to Cloughoughter Castle?
A．By car. B．By air. C．By water. D．On foot.
16．What is Ciaran Cannon’s main purpose of cycling around the counties?
A．Spreading Irish culture. B．Enjoying world scenery.
C．Searching for a life goal. D．Contributing to a good cause.
17．Who likes hiking and wrote a book on it?
A．John G. O’Dwyer. B．Ali Dunworth.
C．Marnie Corscadden. D．Ciaran Cannon.
【答案】15．C 16．D 17．A
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四种参观爱尔兰的方法和相关人员对每种方式的看法。
15．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The fact that it’s so remote and can only be accessed by boat adds to its
mystery and appeal.(事实上，它是如此偏远，只能乘船进入，这增加了它的神秘感和吸引力)”可知，游客乘
船才能到达克拉夫特城堡。故选C。
16．细节理解题。根据最后一段““In Ireland, there are thousands of miles of quiet country roads where
everyone you encounter is more than willing to give directions and point out places to visit,” said Ciaran Cannon,
an official in Galway East, who cycled through all 32 counties for charity.(“在爱尔兰，有数千英里安静的乡村道
路，你遇到的每个人都非常愿意指路，指出要去的地方，”Ciaran Cannon说。他是东戈尔韦的一名官员，
为了慈善事业骑自行车走遍了所有32个县)”可知，Ciaran Cannon骑车环县的主要目的是为了做好事。故选
D。
17．细节理解题。根据第二段““I’ve been walking for about 30 years, but I’m still trotting off to find new
routes, and all of the walks seem to have stories,” says John G. O’Dwyer, author of 50 Best Irish Walks.(“我已经
徒步了大约30年了，但我仍然在寻找新的路线，所有的徒步似乎都有故事，”John G. O’Dwyer说，他是
《50条最佳爱尔兰步道》的作者)”可知，John G. O’Dwyer喜欢徒步旅行并写了一本关于它的书。故选A。
6.（2024·甘肃白银一模）
An important person who has made a huge impact on my life is Savannah. Savannah is my twin sister and my life
would be completely different without her. Everyone always thinks it’s amazing to have a twin and it is but it’s also
not. People always beautify having a twin. They say it’s natural to be good friends, which is true, but nobody ever
talks about the negative side of it.
People also say things like “Who’s the smarter twin?” As twins, we are constantly getting compared. In the
second grade, she got admitted to a class for advanced students. In 6th grade she was put into advanced math. I
finally got put into advanced math for 8th grade but it still wasn’t enough because by then she was in a class that
was two years ahead and mine was just one. So people called me the dumb twin.
I played soccer from the ages 5-9. I quit when I was 9 because people decided Savannah was better and Ididn’t want to hear it anymore. She still plays. We also played softball together when we were 10-11. I quit that too
mainly for the same reason.
One day when I was in 7th grade, Savannah, our friends and I were at top golf for one of their birthdays. We
were almost done playing. My friend Allison said, “Savannah, how does it feel to be losing to the unathletic twin?”
Allison didn’t play any sports either, but since she wasn’t a twin, she wasn’t getting compared to anyone.
I could write a million stories about who’s the prettier twin? Who’s the uglier twin? Who’s the funnier twin? It
never really ends. Even though we get compared, I still love Savannah and she has made such a huge impact on my
life.
As I’ve gotten older, it has less of an effect on me when people compare us. I have realized that there is always
going to be someone out there comparing us and there is nothing I can do about it. I am growing into my own
person.
18．What is rarely discussed about twins according to the text?
A．The appearance. B．The bad side. C．The difference. D．The friendship.
19．Why was the author thought stupid?
A．She did very badly in class. B．She learned advanced math in Grade 8.
C．She liked to compare herself to Savannah. D．She was worse than Savannah in her studies.
20．Why did the author give up softball?
A．She played it worse than Savannah. B．She was injured in a match.
C．She was laughed at by teammates. D．She had lost interest in it.
21．What is the author’s attitude towards being compared at last?
A．Negative. B．Unclear. C．Doubtful. D．Acceptable.
【答案】18．B 19．D 20．A 21．D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者的双胞胎妹妹Savannah对作者的生活所产生的巨大影响。
18．细节理解题。根据第一段中“They say it’s natural to be good friends, which is true, but nobody ever talks
about the negative side of it.（他们说成为好朋友是很自然的，这是真的，但是没有人谈论它的消极方
面。）”可知，根据课文，关于双胞胎很少讨论的是坏的一面。故选B。
19．细节理解题。根据第二段中“I finally got put into advanced math for 8th grade but it still wasn’t enough
because by then she was in a class that was two years ahead and mine was just one. So people called me the dumb
twin.（我终于进入了八年级的高等数学课程，但这仍然不够，因为那时她所在的班级比我领先两年，而我
只领先一年。所以大家都叫我笨双胞胎。）”可知，作者被认为愚蠢是因为她的学习成绩比萨凡纳差。故
选D。
20．细节理解题。根据第三段“I played soccer from the ages 5-9. I quit when I was 9 because people decided
Savannah was better and I didn’t want to hear it anymore. She still plays. We also played softball together when we
were 10-11. I quit that too mainly for the same reason.（我从5-9岁开始踢足球。我九岁的时候退出了因为大
家都觉得萨凡纳更好我不想再听了。她还在玩。我们10-11岁的时候也一起打垒球。我也放弃了，主要是
出于同样的原因。）”可知，作者之所以放弃垒球，是因为她打得比萨凡纳还差。故选A。
21．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As I’ve gotten older, it has less of an effect on me when people compare us.I have realized that there is always going to be someone out there comparing us and there is nothing I can do about
it.（随着年龄的增长，人们比较我们对我的影响越来越小。我已经意识到，总有人拿我们做比较，而我对
此无能为力。）”可知，作者对最后被比较的态度是可以接受的。故选D。

I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next
six years, I was treading water(停滞不前), just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was
any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved
working with books, although the job that I did was dull.
I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel.
Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.
It takes confidence to make a new start—there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor
the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a
novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be
published, I put it aside.
Then I met an agent(代理商) who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got
some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with
an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.
The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and
wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal—that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck—of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s
no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract(合同) of the publisher
—to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding.

It was a typical summer day in my small town, with the sun shining and the sky clear. I was sitting on my
porch, enjoying the peaceful view of the rolling hills and the calm lake, when suddenly a strong wind blew in from
the west. The peaceful sky turned dark as a storm approached.
I went inside, grabbing my raincoat and heading to the barn to secure the animals. The cows were nervous,
sensing the approaching storm. I quickly tied them up and ran back to the house, just as the rain started to pour
down. The wind was howling and the rain was pounding against the windows. Lightning and thunder followed,
making the atmosphere even more electric. I sat by the window, watching the raging storm and praying that
everything would be okay.
After what seemed like hours, but was only a few minutes, the storm passed. The clouds moved away,
revealing a bright and sunny sky. I walked outside, taking in the fresh air and surveying the damage. The trees were
bent over and some branches had been blown off. Our vegetable garden was flooded, but other than that, everything
seemed to be fine. I breathed a sigh of relief as I realized that no serious damage had been done.
That evening, as I sat by the fireplace with a cup of hot coffee, I reflected on the experience. It reminded me
that nature can be both powerful and unpredictable, but that we must persevere and adapt to whatever it throws at
us. The next morning, as I watched the sun rise over the now-calm landscape, I felt a sense of pride knowing that
my family and I had weathered the storm together.

The books written and published in the 1920s remain on the “best ever” lists. Here are 4 books that everyone
should read.
The Great Gatsby
The themes in the novel reflect the sudden change in the character of America itself, and in some ways it’s
among the first major modern novels produced in this country. The novel also makes a new and powerful concept
clear at the time: The American Dream, the idea that self-made men and women could make themselves into
anything in this country.
A Farewell to Arms
The story is one of a love affair interrupted and dogged by events beyond the lovers’ control, and a central
theme is the pointless struggle of life — that we spend so much energy and time on things that finally don’t matter.
Hemingway masterfully combines a realistic description of war with some abstract literary techniques, which is one
reason why this book endures as a classic.
Ulysses
When people make lists of the most difficult novels, Ulysses is almost certainly on them. The one thing
almost everyone knows about Ulysses is that it employs “stream of consciousness”, a literary technique that seeks
to show the inner monologue of a person. James Joyce wasn’t the first writer to use this technique, but he was the
first writer to attempt it on the scale as he did.
Mrs. Dalloway
It takes place on a single day in the life of the main character, and it employs a dense and tricky stream-of-
consciousness technique, roaming (漫游) around to other characters and point of view. Mrs. Dalloway is
concerned with using these techniques to make the characters clear and definite. The use of stream of consciousness
is deliberately disorienting in the way it skips through time.
36．Which book shows us the truth of daily life conflicts?
A．Ulysses. B．Mrs. Dalloway.C．The Great Gatsby. D．A Farewell to Arms.
37．What do Ulysses and Mrs. Dalloway have in common?
A．They share the same literary technique.
B．They show a new and powerful concept.
C．They describe the daily life of the character.
D．They are on the list of the most difficult novels.
38．Where can the text be found?
A．In a biography. B．In a history book.
C．In a travel brochure. D．In a literature magazine.
【答案】36．D 37．A 38．D
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。本文介绍了依旧经典的四本20世纪20年代出版的书：《了不起的盖茨比》
《永别了，武器》《尤利西斯》和《达洛威夫人》，分别从小说主题、文学技巧和创新等角度进行了分
析。
36．细节理解题。根据A Farewell to Arms部分中“The story is one of a love affair interrupted and dogged by
events beyond the lovers’ control, and a central theme is the pointless struggle of life — that we spend so much
energy and time on things that finally don’t matter. (故事讲述的是一段爱情被恋人无法控制的事件打断和纠
缠，中心主题是生活中毫无意义的挣扎——我们在那些最终无关紧要的事情上花费了如此多的精力和时
间)”可知，该书探讨了生活中冲突的真相，即我们在那些最终无关紧要的事情上花费了过多精力和时间。
故选D。
37．细节理解题。根据Ulysses部分中“The one thing almost everyone knows about Ulysses is that it employs
“stream of consciousness”, a literary technique that seeks to show the inner monologue of a person. (关于《尤利西
斯》，几乎每个人都知道的一件事是，它采用了“意识流”，这是一种文学技巧，旨在表现一个人的内心
独白)”以及Mrs. Dalloway部分中“It takes place on a single day in the life of the main character, and it employs
a dense and tricky stream-of-consciousness technique, roaming (漫游) around to other characters and point of view.
(它发生在主角一生中的某一天，它采用了一种密集而微妙的意识流技巧，漫游到其他人物和视角)”可是，
这两本书的共通之处在于是使用相同的文学技巧——意识流写作手法。故选A。
38．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了依旧经典的四本20世纪20年代出版的书：《了不起的盖茨
比》《永别了，武器》《尤利西斯》和《达洛威夫人》，分别从小说主题、文学技巧和创新等角度进行了
分析，并建议读者去阅读。故推断文章出自于一本文学杂志。故选D。

Some people get more averse to risk as the years go by. Not so Gail MacCallum, who at age 40 quit a secure
job and left the city to explore more possibilities of life.
MacCallum moved quite a bit in childhood and spent her formative years outside Canberra in a farmhouse
without electricity, where she enjoyed the freedom of the natural world. In her teens, she and her family moved into
the heart of inner-city Sydney, and she found she adored that too.
In 2015, MacCallum and her then partner had a daughter, Amelia. They wanted to make sure that despite being
a city kid, Amelia had plenty of natural encounters so they sought out places to climb trees, watch lizards and spotturtles. But one day MacCallum realised her little girl was more at ease with busy streets than bushland. “When she
was about seven, we were visiting a friend whose place had a beautiful lawn. Amelia called out to me and said, ‘I
can’t go into the wild!’ We decided we had to let her experience a wider world and two months later we were in a
camper van heading off around Australia.”
MacCallum admits she felt worried. “I thought we’d need to know some basic things but the trip was like a
leap in the dark. ” As it happened, the van they’d bought broke down just 90 minutes into the trip. But after repairs
they set off again and travelled the country for six months, during which Amelia became an enthusiastic adventurer.
“That trip helped me understand that success doesn’t have to be assured,” MacCallum says. “I realised that you can
start something and just work it out as you go along.”
39．What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 mean ?
A．Motivated. B．Confident. C．Unwilling. D．Regretful.
40．What do we know about MacCallum?
A．She is a person in favor of stability.
B．She preferred the inner city to the rural area.
C．Her love for nature was rooted in her childhood.
D．She knew much about long-distance travelling.
41．What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A．Amelia was raised in a casual way.
B．Amelia was a nature enthusiast just like her parents.
C．MacCallum and her partner planned the trip separately.
D．MacCallum expected her daughter to be close to nature.
42．Which words can best describe their trip?
A．Costly but satisfying. B．Eventful but educational.
C．Boring but meaningful. D．Difficult but romantic.
【答案】39．C 40．C 41．D 42．B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了Gail MacCallum 40岁时辞去了一份稳定的工作，离开了这座城
市，去探索更多的生活可能性，她和丈夫以及女儿在一辆露营车里环游了澳大利亚。
39．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“to risk as the years go by”以及“Not so Gail MacCallum, who at age 40
quit a secure job and left the city to explore more possibilities of life.(Gail MacCallum却不是这样，她在40岁时
辞去了一份稳定的工作，离开了这座城市，去探索更多的生活可能性)”可知，后文举出了MacCallum的例
子，虽然40岁了，但是她还是去探索更多的可能性了，说明随着岁月的流逝，有些人越来越不愿冒险。故
划线词意思是“不愿意的”。故选C。
40．细节理解题。根据第二段“MacCallum moved quite a bit in childhood and spent her formative years outside
Canberra in a farmhouse without electricity, where she enjoyed the freedom of the natural world.(童年时，
MacCallum经常搬家，在堪培拉郊外的一间没有电的农舍里度过了她的成长岁月，在那里她享受着自然世
界的自由)”可知，MacCallum对大自然的热爱源于她的童年。故选C。
41．推理判断题。根据第三段“We decided we had to let her experience a wider world and two months later wewere in a camper van heading off around Australia.(我们决定让她体验更广阔的世界，两个月后，我们就在一
辆露营车里环游了澳大利亚)”可推知，MacCallum希望她的女儿能亲近大自然。故选D。
42．推理判断题。根据最后一段“As it happened, the van they’d bought broke down just 90 minutes into the
trip. But after repairs they set off again and travelled the country for six months, during which Amelia became an
enthusiastic adventurer. “That trip helped me understand that success doesn’t have to be assured,” MacCallum says.
“I realised that you can start something and just work it out as you go along.”(碰巧的是，他们买的面包车在出发
90分钟后就抛锚了。但修好后，他们又出发了，在全国旅行了六个月，在此期间，阿米莉亚成为了一个热
情的冒险家。MacCallum说:“那次旅行让我明白，成功并不一定是必然的。我意识到，你可以开始做一件
事，然后边做边解决。”)”可推知，他们的旅行充满变故但有教育意义。故选B。

Love hiking but don’t want to have a heavy backpack for days on end? We’ve found four great walks around
Australia.
● Three Capes Walk
Where: Tasmania
Length: Three days
The pièce de résistance of a hike in this remote southeast corner of Tasmania has to be a flight over, or
cruise(航行) underneath, Cape Pillar–the tallest sea cliffs in the Southern Hemisphere. Here you’ll find 300-metre-
high sea columns rising from the ocean. The equally impressive Cape Raoul – only accessible by hikers – will also
give you a taste of the dramatic, raw beauty to come.
● Great Ocean Walk
Where: Victoria
Length: Three days
The 243-kilometre long Great Ocean Road is an Australian National Heritage – listed area famed for its surf
beaches and the Twelve Apostles – limestone(石灰岩) stacks rising out of the Southern Ocean. It takes more than a
week to walk the full length, but this hike ensures you see the best bits over three days.
● Larapinta Trail &Red Center Walk
Where: Northern Territory
Length: Nine days
If you haven’t experienced the beating heart of Australia, this is the way to do it. Walk part of the Larapinta
Trail, a 231-kilometre path that follows the rocky spine of the West MacDonnell Ranges from Alice Springs
Telegraph Station to Mount Sonder.
● Light to Light Walk
Where: New South Wales
Length: Four days
The Sapphire Coast was named after a gem because of its deep blue sparkling waters. A hike here takes you
deep into this dramatic landscape from striking 320-million-year old red rocky outcrops to coastal forests. Glide
along its dynamic waters on a cruise to take in the birdlife, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot a dolphin or,
from May to November, a migrating whale.43．What can you appreciate in “Three Capes Walk”?
A．The Twelve Apostles. B．The Larapinta Trail.
C．Cape Pillar. D．The Sapphire Coast.
44．What can you do while hiking in New South Wales?
A．Appreciate the birdlife along the dynamic waters.
B．See limestone stacks rising out of the Southern Ocean.
C．Spot a dolphin or a migrating whale from March to November.
D．Walk a 231-kilometre path to experience the beating heart of Australia.
45．Which of the following has the longest length of a visit for the tourists?
A．Victoria. B．Northern Territory. C．New South Wales. D．Tasmania.
【答案】43．C 44．A 45．B
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍四处澳大利亚徒步旅行的地点。
43．细节理解题。由Three Capes Walk中“The pièce de résistance of a hike in this remote southeast corner of
Tasmania has to be a flight over, or cruise(航行) underneath, Cape Pillar–the tallest sea cliffs in the Southern
Hemisphere.(在塔斯马尼亚岛这个偏远的东南角徒步旅行，最困难的地方是飞越或从南半球最高的海崖皮勒
角(Cape pilla)下面乘船游览。)”可知，在Three Capes Walk中可以欣赏Cape Pillar。故选C项。
44．细节理解题。由Light to Light Walk中“Glide along its dynamic waters on a cruise to take in the birdlife,
and if you’re lucky, you might even spot a dolphin or, from May to November, a migrating whale.(在游轮上沿着
它充满活力的水域滑翔，欣赏鸟类的生活，如果幸运的话，你甚至可能会发现一只海豚，或者从5月到11
月，一头迁徙的鲸鱼。)”可知，在New South Wales可以欣赏充满活力的水域中的鸟类。故选A项。
45．细节理解题。由Larapinta Trail &Red Center Walk中“Length: Nine days(长度：九天)”以及其它三
个活动的时间可知，在Northern Territory中旅游时间最长，为九天，其它三个活动时间都只有三天或者四
天。故选B项。

Phebe Cox grew up in what might seem an unlikely mental health danger zone for a kid: tony Palo Alto,
California. But behind its surface of family success and wealth, she said, is an environment of heavy pressure on
students to perform. By 2016, when Cox was in middle school, Palo Alto had a teen suicide (自杀) rate four times
the national average.
Cox’s family lived by the railroad tracks where many of the suicides occurred. She got counseling (咨询). But
that choice is not always easily available to teens in crisis — and she and her peers regarded school mental health
services as their last choice because of concerns about privacy.
A new program provides an alternative. Called Allcove, it offers unattached health and wellness sites to those
ages 12 to 25. Although Allcove is built to support a wide range of physical, emotional and social needs, its main
goal is to deal with mental health challenges before they develop into deeper problems. Cox said, “I felt pretty
helpless as a young teenager, but Allcove is all about the students and the students’ needs.”
About half of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14 and 75% before age 25, according to researchers. Yet
access to mental health care in the U.S. is lacking. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, some 30million adults and children with mental health conditions go without treatment, and 129 million people live in areas
with shortages of mental health professionals.
Allcove provides fully staffed safe spaces for teens and young adults to discuss and deal with their health, both
mental and physical. Dr. Steven Adelsheim, a psychiatrist, who created the Allcove in 2014, said, “There is a crying
need in the U.S. to reach kids with early intervention and help.” Sometimes a kid may come in with a physical
complaint, and only after a few visits is the mental suffering brought out into the open. When that happens, Alcove
can make a “warm handoff” to a mental health specialist onsite. Success, say Adelsheim and Cox, would mean the
establishment of hundreds of Allcove centers up and down the state and, eventually, around the country.
46．Why did Cox and her peers regard school mental health services as their last choice?
A．They were indifferent to the program.
B．They were concerned about their health.
C．They were upset about the occurrence of the suicides.
D．They were worried about their personal information leak.
47．How does the author prove the lack of mental health care in the US?
A．By giving examples. B．By listing data.
C．By showing comparison. D．By analyzing cause and effect.
48．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 7 mean?
A．The sense of mental suffering. B．Involvement of health experts.
C．Complaints about physical suffering. D．The pressing call for assistance.
49．Which of the following best describes the impact of the program?
A．Predictable. B．Short-lived. C．Unidentifiable. D．Significant.
【答案】46．D 47．B 48．A 49．D
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。本文介绍了一个名为Allcove的新项目，旨在为12至25岁的年轻人提供独
立的健康和福祉空间。
46．细节理解题，根据第二段“But that choice is not always easily available to teens in crisis — and she and her
peers regarded school mental health services as their last choice because of concerns about privacy.(但对于处于危
机中的青少年来说，这种选择并不总是容易获得的——她和她的同龄人认为学校的心理健康服务是他们的
最后选择，因为他们担心隐私问题)”可知，因为担心自己的个人信息泄露，所以Cox和她的同龄人把学校
心理健康服务视为最后的选择。故选D项。
47．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“About half of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14 and 75% before
age 25, according to researchers. Yet access to mental health care in the U.S. is lacking. According to the National
Alliance on Mental Illness, some 30 million adults and children with mental health conditions go without treatment,
and 129 million people live in areas with shortages of mental health professionals.(研究人员表示，约一半的终生
心理疾病在14岁前开始，75%在25岁前开始。然而，在美国，获得心理健康治疗的途径很少。根据国家
精神疾病联盟的数据，大约有3000万成年人和儿童患有心理健康问题但没有接受治疗，还有1.29亿人生
活在心理健康专业人员短缺的地区)”可推知，作者通过列出数据证明美国缺乏精神卫生保健。故选B项。
48．词句猜测题。根据前文“Sometimes a kid may come in with a physical complaint, and only after a fewvisits is the mental suffering brought out into the open.(有时候，一个孩子可能因体质上的不适而前来就医，但
只有在几次访问之后，他们才会透露出心理痛苦)”可推知，that应是代指前文提到的人或事，此处应是代
指本句提到的透露出心理痛苦。故选A项。
49．推理判断题。根据第三段“A new program provides an alternative. Called Allcove, it offers unattached
health and wellness sites to those ages 12 to 25. Although Allcove is built to support a wide range of physical,
emotional and social needs, its main goal is to deal with mental health challenges before they develop into deeper

may come in with a physical complaint, and only after a few visits is the mental suffering brought out into the open.
When that happens, Alcove can make a “warm handoff” to a mental health specialist onsite. Success, say
Adelsheim and Cox, would mean the establishment of hundreds of Allcove centers up and down the state and,
eventually, around the country.(Allcove的创始人、精神科医生史蒂文·阿德尔海姆博士说：“美国迫切需要通
过早期干预和帮助来接触到孩子们。”有时候，一个孩子可能因体质上的不适而前来就医，但只有在几次
访问之后，他们才会透露出心理痛苦。当发生这种情况时，Allcove可以将他们“转介”给现场的心理健康
专家。阿德尔海姆和Cox表示，成功意味着在整个州内以及最终在全国范围内建立数百个Allcove中心)”可
知，Allcove为12至25岁的年轻人提供独立的健康和福祉场所，能通过早期干预和帮助来接触到孩子们。
由此推知，这个项目的影响是显著的。故选D项。

School-based Vocational (职业的) Training in Germany
If you want to do vocational training in healthcare, social services or technical professions, you can do school-
based vocational training in Germany.
What is it?
School-based vocational training does not take place partly in a company, but only at a vocational school or a
vocational college. Here you are not an apprentice (学徒) in a company, but you learn practically full-time at the
school desk.
What does it teach you?
You will find a variety of professions that you can learn at a vocation al school or a vocational college. Offers
are available for professions such as nurse, kindergarten teacher and medical-technical assistant. Many—but not all
—of the more than 350 officially acknowledged vocational training programs in Germany are school-based.
How long does it take?
School-based vocational training in Germany is usually full-time. The duration and the curricula are fixed for
the individual professions, but there are different vacation periods from school to school, which interrupt the
training periods.
How much does it cost?
In contrast to in-company training, you will not usually receive a monthly training allowance for school-based
training; in many cases, you will even have to pay for this training. If you go to a state vocational school or acollege, there are usually no fees. However, this may not be the case with privately run vocational colleges or
schools.
Germany’s vocational training system is known for its strong focus on practical skills and employability.
According to a study by the German Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training, around 78% of
students who completed a vocation al training program found employment within one year of graduation.

Halloran has loved mountains since she was five or six, when her mother took her to Ireland during the
summer holidays. They lived overlooking Annascaul lake on the Dingle peninsula. “It’s a lovely viewpoint. I used
to sit there as a child. I loved the freedom of going up the mountain alone, when I was nine or ten. I cried for days
before going back to London because I felt I would be in a rabbit hutch (窝).”
For Halloran, life had settled into a comfortable rhythm. But then her four-year-old son died in a car accident;
six years later, her husband also passed away. After the loss, she became a workaholic. She went into the office at 5
am, and worked until 10 pm, which was her stability. And it was time to make a change.
One day last September, Ann Halloran made her way to her nearest bus stop in Hove, East Sussex. She had
done plenty of travelling but, at 65, was setting off alone on her first backpacking adventure. Somewhere between
her first stop in Turkey and her final destination—a yoga retreat (静修) in Mazunte, Mexico—she found a new
perspective.In Nepal, climbing the 5,400 m Gokyo Ri in the Himalayas, Halloran broke her walking stick. She has
osteoporosis (骨质疏松症), which makes bones more likely to break, so the stick was essential in the mountains.
Losing it was a blow, but she found reserves of inner strength.
Now, she says: “Whenever I get scared, I think of myself on top of that mountain, looking out over Lake
Gokyo—and beyond that, Everest. I say, if you can do that, you can do anything.”
Since the backpacking adventure, she understands more fully the role that work played in her life for so long.
“Work was reliable. I knew what I was doing. I’m a workaholic to this day,” she says. “I’ve just realised on this
yoga retreat that I have to let go of all that. The penny is dropping for me now.”
53．Why did Halloran cry before returning to London?
A．Because she didn’t enjoy living alone.
B．Because she was unwilling to live with rabbits.
C．Because she wasn’t used to travelling for a long time.
D．Because she couldn’t bear to part from the freedom in the mountain.
54．What made Halloran a workaholic?
A．Her desire to earn more. B．Her goal to settle comfortably.
C．Her wish to overcome sorrow. D．Her plan to save money for travelling.
55．What can we draw from Halloran’s experience in Nepal?
A．It is never too old to learn.
B．An idle youth, a needy age.
C．East or west, home is the best.
D．Success belongs to the persevering.
56．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A．Money is not necessary for Halloran any more.
B．Halloran has realized something more meaningful.
C．Halloran will make a tighter budget for her next trip.
D．Nothing can be equal to Halloran’s salary from work.
【答案】53．D 54．C 55．D 56．B

知，哈洛伦在尼泊尔的艰难的登山经历告诉我们成功属于坚持不懈的人。故选D。
56．词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段““Work was reliable. I knew what I was doing. I’m a workaholic to this
day,” she says. “I’ve just realised on this yoga retreat that I have to let go of all that. (“工作很可靠。我知道我在

Jose Alberto Gutierrez’s life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo
Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier
neighborhoods at night and seeing deserted books. It sparked his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage.
He took home between 50 and 60 books every morning after his nine-hour shift. Eventually, he turned his book
collection into a community library.
Colombia’s capital city of Bogota has 13 million residents and 19 public libraries. However, these libraries
tend to be far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is non-existent
for families struggling to make ends meet. Having access to a library of books and being taken away to another
world while absorbed in a book is a luxury for the kids who visit Gutierrez’s library.
Gutierrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless,
his mother was a keen reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on
Gutierrez, who never let a lack of formal education stop him from reading classics by the likes of Victor Hugo,
Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Today, his community library, called “The Strength of Words”, occupies most of his home and is piled from
floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to story books can be found inhis collection of more than 20,000 books!
The Strength of Words library opens every weekend. It is not just school-going children who are enjoying the
benefits of The Strength of Words library. Adults are also welcome to expand their horizons and develop new skills
to build a better life for themselves.
Despite having done so much for his community, Gutierrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to
search through bins for reading material and has even travelled to book fairs in Mexico and Chile to sell his idea of
building library from unwanted books.
60．What inspired Gutierrez to build the community library?
A．The dilemma he faced on the night shift.
B．The hobby he has started since childhood.
C．Famous novelists he liked very much.
D．Abandoned books he came across at work.
61．What can we learn about Gutierrez’s mother?
A．She was born into a poor family.
B．She bought Gutierrez many books.
C．She influenced Gutierrez greatly.
D．She enjoyed reading Hugo’s works.
62．What does the underlined phrase “call it a day” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Take the time.
B．Stop the work.
C．Make a change.
D．Receive a reward.
63．What does Gutierrez’s story tell us?
A．A book holds a house of gold.
B．The early bird catches the worm.
C．Good things come to those who wait.
D．One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
【答案】60．D 61．C 62．B 63．D
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，介绍了清洁工Gutierrez将废弃书籍收集起来，创建社区图书馆，为低收入家
庭提供阅读机会的故事。
60．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier
neighborhoods at night and seeing deserted books. It sparked his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage.
He took home between 50 and 60 books every morning after his nine-hour shift. Eventually, he turned his book
collection into a community library. (这件事发生在他晚上开着垃圾车经过富裕社区，看到了被遗弃的书时。
这激发了他开始从垃圾中拯救书籍的愿望。在9小时的轮班后，他每天早上带回家50到60本书。最后，
他把自己的藏书变成了一个社区图书馆。)”可知，Gutierrez在工作中偶然发现的废弃书籍启发了他创建社
区图书馆。故选D项。61．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Nevertheless, his mother was a keen reader and read stories to him every
night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutierrez, who never let a lack of formal education stop him
from reading classics by the likes of Victor Hugo, Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. (然而，他的
母亲是一个热心的读者，每天晚上读故事给他听。她对书籍的热爱给Gutierrez留下了深刻的印象，他从未
让缺乏正规教育阻止他阅读维克多·雨果、马里奥·巴尔加斯·略萨和加布里埃尔·加西亚·马尔克斯等人的经
典作品。)”可知，Gutierrez的母亲对书籍的热爱让Gutierrez即使贫困也坚持阅读。由此可知，她对
Gutierrez的影响很大。故选C项。
62．词义猜测题。根据划线词前文“Despite having done so much for his community (尽管他为他的社区做了
这么多)”及后文“He continues to search through bins for reading material and has even travelled to book fairs in
Mexico and Chile to sell his idea of building library from unwanted books. (他继续在垃圾箱里寻找阅读材料，
甚至前往墨西哥和智利的书展，推广他用废弃书籍建造图书馆的想法。)”可知，Gutierrez并没有停下从垃
圾箱里找书籍的目标，甚至还想推广自己的想法，因此，call it a day与stop the work意思相近，意为“停
止工作”。故选B项。
63．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段中的“It sparked his desire to start rescuing books from the
garbage. He took home between 50 and 60 books every morning after his nine-hour shift. Eventually, he turned his
book collection into a community library. (这激发了他开始从垃圾中拯救书籍的愿望。在9小时的轮班后，他
每天早上带回家50到60本书。最后，他把自己的藏书变成了一个社区图书馆。)”可知，本文讲述了
Gutierrez将废弃书籍收集起来，创建社区图书馆，为低收入家庭提供阅读机会的故事。A. 书中自有黄金
屋；B. 早起的鸟儿有虫吃；C. 好事多磨；D. 变废为宝。因此，D项最契合文章主题。故选D项。
