For many American 10-year-olds,summer is always a time for goofing around (消磨时光),hanging out with friends, and playing outside until the sun goes down. However, for Liam Hannon, the summer of 2017 was a bit 26 .That year, Liam did not want to go to summer camp, so he made a deal with his dad to stay busy and active .He joined a program to give back to the community. Specifically he was given a task to help 27 people.
Liam pointed out to his dad that there were a lot of homeless people just outside their home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. These people were 28 and Liam thought he could do something to 29 their spirits. Liam and his dad began making 30 . Together, they made 20 lunches that first week, which they then handed 31 to the homeless people. When the week was over, Liam realized he was not ready to put away his 32 just yet, so Liam’s Lunches of Love was born.
“No one should be hungry,” Liam writes on his GoFundMe page. He created the online page with his father as a way to help 33 money for Lunches of Love. Donations that were receivedthrough GoFundMe have enabled Liam to buy a better cart(手推车) and make thousands of additional 34 . Liam also gets help from friends and volunteers to 35 and deliver the lunches. His friends love drawing pictures and writing encouraging messages on the brown paper bags that the lunches and healthy snacks are packed in. “I’ve seen people who are feeling really 36 . But when we hand them a lunch, their 37 just light up,” says Liam.
But he didn’t 38 there. Liam has another projectcalled Legos(乐高) of Love. People send in their old 39 , which are then sorted and given to children who are living at homeless shelters.
One thing is certain: This now 12-year-old knows how to pay it forward(让爱传播出去). His Lunches of Love is an example of how even something as simple as a sandwich can 40 the world.

三、阅读理解 (共20小题,40分。每小题2分)
第一节:阅读下面短文,从各题A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳答案。
A
Four dream holidays
★ See a Penguin
This is a once-in-a-lifetime holiday in the snow and ice of the Antarctic. You can see animals and birds you only see on TV or in zoos. The trip starts in South Africa and finishes in Western Australia. You travel on a Russian ship, Kapitan Khlebnikov, and the holiday lasts for just under a month.
★Go on Safari
This holiday is a trip to see wild animals with a difference. You travel by helicopter(直升飞机) over parts of Kenya, listening to music as you fly, and then you sleep under the African stars in a comfortable bed. There’s another trip in a hot-air balloon, which gives you a second chance to see wild animals. The best moment is the Elephant Watch in Samburu, where your experienced guide can tell you all about these amazing animals.
★ Fly High
This is probably the most expensive holiday in the world. You can go on a flight into space and travel around the Earth in a spaceship—if you have the money! The only problem with this holiday is the six-day training course before you take the trip. You travel above the Earth for between 30 and 90 minutes and you get a beautiful view of our green and blue planet.
★Live like Robinson Crusoe
If you dream of life on a quiet island, then this is the holiday for you. The island of Quilalea is off the coast of Mozambique and you can only see turtles(海龟) and a few tourists there. You may live like Robinson Crusoe: watch the turtles, go fishing, or travel in a boat to another island to have a picnic.
41. Go on Safari gives you a chance to see ________.
A. Russian ships B. sea fish C. wild animals D. outer space
42. What do you have to do if you take the Fly High holiday?
A. Book a balloon flight. B. Travel in a small boat.
C. Spend days in the snow. D. Attend a training course.
43. If you prefer a holiday on a quiet island, which would be the best choice?
A. Fly High. B. Go on Safari.
C. See a Penguin. D. Live like Robinson Crusoe.
44. The author writes the passage to ________.
A. attract tourists B. introduce different animals
C. explain dreams D. share geography knowledge
B
Grace Rees has recently taken part in Clean Up Australia Day. She spent the day picking up rubbish from a beach near her home. Grace has been in this event for about five years now. “I’ve always done it with my school but this year my friends and I decided to register(注册) as our own group. We think it’s good not only to pick up the rubbish but to bring to people’s attention the fact that there is a lot of rubbish out there. If you do it with friends and family, then it means you can have fun and do something useful at the same time. It’s an important thing to do. We have such a beautiful environment here, but rubbish is spoiling it.”
The Clean Up Day event began in 19. It was started by Australian Ian Klernan, who had just sailed(航行) round the world and was shocked at the number of plastic(塑料) bags and other forms of pollution in the world’s oceans. So he decided to take action for something he felt strongly about.
The first Clean Up Day took place in Sydney and the following year it became Clean Up Australia Day with people all round the continent picking up rubbish. Every year more and more people take part. Today it is one of the most successful community events in Australia. In 2000 it became Clean Up The World and over 40 million volunteers from more than 120 countries and regions took part. Every year a report of the day is produced containing a lot of figures, including the top ten rubbish items. Last year they included drink containers, sweet wrappers and small pieces of paper.
45. What does Grace Rees do for Clean Up Australia Day?
A. Go to school. B. Pick up the rubbish.
C. Clean the house. D. Walk along the beach.
46. What does the underlined word “spoiling” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Cleaning. B. Protecting. C. Harming. D. Bringing.
47. Ian Klernan started the Clean Up Day mainly because ________.
A. he was worried about food safety
B. he enjoyed the beauty of the oceans
C. he wanted to do something about rubbish
D. he saw some people shocked by his sailing
48. What happened to the Clean Up Day event in 2000?
A. It began to give a daily report. B. It became Clean Up The World.
C. It began to help reuse the rubbish. D. It became Clean Up Australia Day.
C
What time is it?
How do we know the time? Look around. Is there a clock on the wall? Are you wearing a watch? Does your mobile phone show the time? Telling the time is easy these days and necessary if we want to schedule things, but it was not always easy. Many years ago there were no clocks. Over the centuries, people have developed different ways of telling the time.
About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. Its shadow(阴影) marked the movement of the sun. They were able to determine midday and measure time from these shadows.
About 3,500 years ago, the Egyptians made a sundial. The sundial was smaller than the sun clock and could measure time for half a day. After midday, they had to move it 180 degrees to measure the afternoon hours. On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell time with a sun clock or sundial.
Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East but they failed to keep accurate(精确的) time.
In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more accurate, but was expensive to make. Over the next few centuries the design was developed. For example, springs(发条) were added around 1500. This improved accuracy and allowed clocks to be smaller. Mechanical clocks continued to develop until they had an accuracy of one-hundredth of a second per day.
In 1927, the first quartz(石英) clock was developed. A quartz clock is accurate. Clocks became cheaper to build and own. People began depending on them more and more to run businesses, transportation, and markets.
More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. There have been a lot of advances in timekeeping but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not missing appointments.
49. When was the sun clock invented?
A. About 5,500 years ago. B. About 3,500 years ago.
C. In 1927. D. In 1956.
50. Which clock was the first not to use the sun, according to the passage?
A. The water clock. B. The quartz clock.
C. The mechanical clock. D. The digital clock.
51. What can we learn about the mechanical clock from the passage?
A. It was as accurate as other clocks. B. It was invented in the 13th century.
C. It was popular in the Middle East. D. Springs were added to make it bigger.
52. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Why clocks are invented. B. When clocks are used.
C. How clocks have developed. D. Who are making clocks.
D
Winged silence
When I first went looking for great grey owls near my mountain home in Montana, I heard their unique hoo-hooing sound long before I actually saw one.Their flight is silent ,so you never know if they are nearby.Over several summers I photographed what became a familiar group of birds hunting and raising their young.
Researchers guess that 20,000 to 100,000 great grey owls live across Canada and the USA,with similar numbers in northern Europe and Asia. Adults can weigh over 1400 grams and their size makes it difficult for them to fly easily among trees.As a result,they hunt more successfully in open spaces in forests.These spaces may have been formed by fire,wind or distance,or in many cases are man-made.
Great grey owls feed on small animals like mice. They have knife-sharp beaks and can locate hidden prey(猎物) with the help of large facial disks which direct sounds towards their ears. They are powerful birds and jump headfirst with such force that they can crash through thick snow surface to catch small animals hidden in the deep snow beneath. They then carry their prey to a safe place for eating before returning to the nest(巢) and their young. This hunting technique gives the great owls a big advantage over other birds.
As I photographed these birds over a period of years, I began to see what loving parents they are. The male hunts for prey which he then delivers to the female and her chicks(幼鸟). She will tear the food into small pieces and drop it into their mouths. If food is hard to find, the female will go hungry, losing nearly a third of her body weight in a single month to make sure the maximum(最大的) possible amount of food can go to her young chicks. The male continues to hunt by sound alone when visibility is poor, as in a snowstorm.
The chicks do not stay in their nest for more than about four weeks because, as their waste gathers, the area around the nest develops a smell. This makes its location dangerously obvious to hunters. So, even though the young owls can not fly, they climb or fall to the ground where their parents continue to feed and protect them through the summer months. Many die of hunger or are killed, but about two thirds survive until they are able to fly at seven to eight weeks old.
53. What makes it difficult for great grey owls to fly easily among trees?
A. Their size. B. Their speed.
C. Their eyesight. D. Their disease.
54. Which of the following gives the great owls an advantage over other birds?
A. Protection of chicks. B. Skill of food-tearing.
C. Eating habits. D. Hunting technique.
55. Why don’t the chicks stay in their nest for more than about four weeks?
A. Because they have to look for food.
B. Because they may fall to the ground.
C. Because the wastes can stop them from jumping.
D. Because hunters may find them easily through smell.
56. About two-thirds of chicks can survive, mainly because of ________.
A. their ability to fly B. their parents’ love and care
C. their safe location D. their parents’ force and silence

Tough Man
What is Tough Man?
Tough Man is a race to the limit(极限). Every year, more than 3,000 people take part in it in the UK. They run, swim and climb around the 15 km course. But this is no normal race. These runners have to crawl(爬) through tunnels, run across a field of nettles and jump over fire. What’s more, the competition takes place in January, so temperatures are low—sometimes as low as -6°C.
Why do people take part?
The competition is quite dangerous and every year there are accidents. Injuries like broken bones and cuts are quite common. The race is very hard: one-third of the people do not finish it. Runners have to be very fit and healthy and most of them train all year to prepare for the event. There are similar events, but this was the first one in the world. Many people do the competition. Every year the organizers change the event and add new things. This means that the competition stays exciting and challenging, so people go back year after year.
The course
First, the runners run for 1km along a muddy road. Next, they crawl under low nets on the ground.After the nets,
the runners jump into a lake and swim for 1km.Then,they reach the field of fire.Here, the runners run across a field and jump over small bonfires.
57. What is Tough Man? (不多于七个单词)
