【解析】

本文講述瑪利亞幫助貧困兒童讀書的故事。

【1】句意：然而，全世界還有許多孩子沒有機(jī)會(huì)讀書。

so 所以；however 然而；after all 畢竟；instead 反而。第一段空格處前文講述讀書的帶來的好處，空格后表示世界上還有一些孩子是沒有機(jī)會(huì)讀書的，上下文是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，并且空格后有逗號(hào)，所以用轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系連詞however。故選B。

【2】句意：當(dāng)她問她媽媽這是為什么，她的媽媽告訴她也許他們買不起書。

choose 選擇；afford支付；share 分享；read 閱讀。根據(jù)前文“She also noticed that some of her classmates didn’t read as much as she did”她注意到她的一些同學(xué)讀的書沒有她多，可推測(cè)是孩子不能支付買書的費(fèi)用。故選B，

【3】句意：她不能相信一些孩子是沒有睡前故事的，所以她決定要改變這個(gè)狀況。

excited 興奮的；used 被用來；supposed 假設(shè)；determined 決定。become是系動(dòng)詞，后接形容詞。根據(jù)前文“She couldn’t believe that some children didn’t have bedtime stories read to them”，可推測(cè)下文要表達(dá)的是她下定決心要改變它。固定搭配be determined to do sth 下定決心做某事。故選D。

【4】句意：在她媽媽的幫助下，瑪利亞創(chuàng)建了一個(gè)零利潤的機(jī)構(gòu)，收集書籍和發(fā)放一些書籍給需要的孩子。

in safety 安全中；in danger 危險(xiǎn)中；in need 有需要；in trouble 麻煩中。根據(jù)文章的最后一段“She recently set a new goal:to distribute donations to kids in need in every state in the US”，可知，她創(chuàng)建的機(jī)構(gòu)是為了幫助有需要的孩子們。故選C。

【5】句意：所以我不能放棄，甚至是在達(dá)到了我初始設(shè)定的100萬本的這個(gè)目標(biāo)后。

set out出發(fā)；give up 放棄；get off 下車；take up占據(jù)。根據(jù)前文“I have learned that the number of kids who have no books is in the hundreds of millions”，可推測(cè)，大概有1億的孩子是沒有書的，所以盡管在達(dá)到她初定的目標(biāo)后，還不能放棄，還要繼續(xù)。故選B。

【6】句意：她在儲(chǔ)存書的倉庫墻上的一張大地圖記錄了她的進(jìn)展。

industry 工業(yè)；research 研究；progress 進(jìn)展；study學(xué)習(xí)。根據(jù)空格后on a map，可推測(cè)在地圖上記錄她的進(jìn)展，空格用progress符合句意。故選C。

【題目】 Most adults show less interest in climate（氣候）change than young people. Yet it's adults who have the power to influence the policies（政策）causing climate change. Now a new study shows that teenagers may be able to raise their parents' interest in human effects on climate.

In the study, a new curriculum（課程）was used in some schools in coastal North Carolina. The students worked on four activities centered on the connections between climate change and local wildlife. They also took part in a community-based project and interviewed their parents about the changes in weather they had noticed in their lifetimes. To see how attitudes changed as a result of the program, the researchers surveyed both students and parents at the beginning and the end of the study.

The study shows the students who completed the climate change module cared more about the issue（問題）. The effect was even stronger among parents. Experts say the program's success had a lot to do with how teachers dealt with climate change in the classroom.

"Reading a textbook and completing a worksheet are unlikely to lead students to talk about their day at the dinner table, ”says Martha Monroe, an expert on environmental education at the University of Florida. Instead, the researchers designed hands-on lessons focused on local issues. For example, one task involved monitoring the weather outside the school and comparing it with historical information about the area.

Those activities may have helped increase parental involvement. "If you can get kids so excited and talking with their parents about what they are learning in schools, parents will want to learn, ”says Danielle Lawson, a social scientist and leading researcher of the study. However, she adds, “We are not telling the students what to think or what to say. That way, kids didn't feel that there was all this responsibility put on them to change their parents' minds about anything.”

Lawson is hopeful that kids can boost their parents' understanding of climate science. "I know how powerful kids can be, ”Lawson says. "Kids don't need a special curriculum to discuss climate change at home. They just need to talk to their parents about what they see going on.”

【1】The second paragraph is mainly about

A.how the study was carried out

B.how the activities were designed

C.why a new curriculum was introduced

D.why both students and parents were surveyed

【2】What can we learn about the new curriculum from the passage?

A.It developed students' communication skills.

B.It focused on lessons about climate change in textbooks.

C.It helped students feel responsible to change their parents.

D.It created more chances for families to talk about climate change.

【3】The word "boost" in the last paragraph probably means “_____________”.

A.checkB.expressC.improveD.share

【題目】閱讀下面短文，按照句子結(jié)構(gòu)的語法性和上下文連貫的要求，在空格處填入一個(gè)適當(dāng)?shù)脑~或用括號(hào)中詞語的正確形式填空。將答案寫在答卷上

When holiday is coming to an end, how many of you have burned the midnight oil to finish your homework for several days? 【1】 the school year, when you get home from school, do you start working on your homework right away?

It is hard to be this responsible. A lot of people tend to put off difficult or 【2】 (challenge) tasks until they must be done. They are called procrastinators(拖延癥患者).

Procrastination is a common problem for 【3】 (million) of people, in fact, sometimes it just feels easier to wait till the last minute to do certain things. 【4】, this is usually not a good thing, as you have to work harder and faster. This means your work will 【5】 (probable) be of less quality.

I myself am a bit of a procrastinator. But most of the time, I try to finish my work earlier rather 【6】 later. It just makes more sense – if I finish my work now, I 【7】 (have) more time to relax or work on other projects later. Sometimes, it can be hard to promise 【8】get) started immediately. But once I do, the work will get done quickly and successfully.

It’s a 【9】(nature) thing for everyone to procrastinate from time to time. You’d better not beat 【10】 (you) up over it. After all, we still need time to relax and take a break from our busy lives. Just make sure you still get your homework done on time!
