Gutiérrez'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

neighbourhoods at night and seeing abandoned books. It aroused

his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He used to

take home between 50 and 60 books every morning. Eventually, he

turned his book collection into a community library for children

from low-income families.

Colombia's capital city of Bogota has 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. Gutiérrez's community

library is a true representation of how one man's garbage can be

another's treasure.

Gutiérrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate

him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a

passionate reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for

books left a deep impression on Gutiérrez.

Today, his makeshift community library, called "The Strength of

Words", occupies most of his home in southern Bogota, and is

piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles.

Everything from school textbooks to storybooks can be found in

his collection of more than 20.000 books! As word began to spread

about his amazing project, people began sending him thousands

more books to grow his library.

Despite having done so much for his community, Gutiérrez is not

yet content to call it a day. He continues to search through

garbage cans for reading materials. Today, the Gutiérrez family

does not merely want to start libraries in neighbourhoods. They

want to create spaces for school children to spend their time

reading.

Gutiérrez's journey to give back to his local community is an

amazing example of how every one of us can improve the lives of

those around us. How might we take a leaf out of Gutiérrez's books

and impact the less fortunate around us

C. Children's living conditions. D. A community-library.

sufficient books.

C. To facilitate children's reading. D. To improve the community life.

A. Devoted and talented. B. Intelligent and generous.

C. Passionate and well-educated. D. Creative and caring.

C. Gutiérrez's kindness D. An amazing model of education

You've heard an old Chinese saying before: Give a man a fish and

you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a

lifetime. You may even be nodding your head in agreement right

now. However, we can have a different understanding about it.

When a person is starving, that's not the time to fill their head with

knowledge but to first give the person a fish—eradicating their

hunger—and only then teach them to fish. Far too often, people

ignore this common sense first step. They see someone who is

struggling, and they rush to offer wisdom. "Let me tell you what I'd

do in your position," a well-meaning individual might offer.

But few of us understand the anxiety, confusion and uncertainty

that come with overwhelming need. People meeting with personal

disasters don't have the ability to think straight. Their nerves

maybe shot. Their confidence may be non-existent. Can you

imagine what it would be like to be in that person's situation

Rushing to offer a struggling person long-term advice is a waste of

time. Instead, it makes far more sense to help them regain their

emotional balance. Once their ears, heart and mind open, you'll

have an opportunity to teach a new skill.

But how do we know whether a person needs a fish before a

fishing lesson Two things: One is the ability to pay attention. We

need to know whether the other person is open and receptive, or

looking at the world through narrowed eyes You can't just take

their words but have to look at how the person acts and what they

don't say. The other is empathy(共情). The more successful you are,

the harder it is to imagine what it must be like to be the opposite.

Try to create a safe environment for emotional acceptance before

the fishing lesson.

8、What is the function of the first paragraph

A. To illustrate a concept. B. To bring in a new viewpoint.

C. To introduce the background. D. To put up an example.

9、What does the underlined word "eradicating" mean in paragraph

2

A. Getting rid of. B. Paying attention to.

C. Making up for. g up with.

10、What should we do first for those in disasters

A. Get them to think straight. B. Enhance their confidence.

y their primary needs. D. Teach them a new skill.

11、Which does the author probably agree with according to the

last paragraph

A. Live and learn. B. Never teach a fish to swim.

C. Put yourself in others' shoes. D. Don't teach old dogs new tricks.

Most people find sugar hard to resist. Our brains need lots of

energy and sugary foods provide plenty of it. But when calories are

too readily available, it is easy to overdo it. There has been no

shortage of research on sugar replacements without the calories,

but evidence from animal and human studies has linked some to

weight gain. One promising alternative is found in the fruit of

Synsepalum dulcificum(奇迹果), a plant native to West Africa.

These so-called miracle berries don't taste sugary themselves, but

if you try something sour afterwards it will taste unusually sweet.

In Benin, the fruit is eaten fresh and is mostly used as a sweetener

to have with sour foods and drinks, says Dèdéou from a university

in Benin. The berry with miraculin(奇迹果蛋白) is very appreciated

by local consumers, especially the kids and people with diabetes(糖

尿病).

Despite the miracle berry's promise as a sugar replacement, it is

only produced on a limited scale and isn't available worldwide. The

berries don't travel well and the plant is slow to grow.

To create an alternative source of miraculin, researchers at the

University of Tsukuba in Japan have genetically engineered

tomatoes to produce the protein, but this isn't necessary, says

Tchokponhoué whose team is working to help enlarge the

production of miracle berries in West Africa. Earlier this year, a

team at Hainan University in China published the genome(基因图

谱) of Synsepalum dulcificum, which may help.

Spanish start-up Baia Food has plans to promote sustainable

growth of the plant in Ghana and market the dried berries. You can

order tablets of freeze-dried miracle berries online but they are

pricey, costing around 18 for a pack of you can afford it, the

berry's taste-twisting power is fun to try at home. Let the tablet

melt on your tongue, then try tasting acidic foods such as lemons.

The effect should last between 15 and 60 minutes.

12、What do we know about Synsepalum dulcificum

A. It contains high calories. B. It is related to weight gain.

tastes unusually sweet. D. It serves as a sugar replacement.

13、What is paragraph 4 mainly about

A. Efforts made to obtain more miraculin.

B. Genome published to help do the research.

C. Creation advocated to produce miracle berries.

D. Transformations performed to engineer tomatoes.

14、What can we say about tablets of freeze-dried miracle berries

are sour. B. They are inexpensive.

are accessible. D. They are productive.

15、What is the author's attitude to getting the sugar alternative

A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Defensive. vative.

二、七选五

16、 Science fiction television has done a lot to shape how we view

the meals of the future, from an evening dinner in pill form to

machines giving us any meal we desire, on demand. ①_____

However, while these ideas for food creation are more than fifty

years old, the way we produce and consume food has not changed

very much. Even though there is enough food available today to

feed the world, more than 870 million people do not have enough

to eat. ②_____

With the global population expected to grow to more than nine

billion by 2050, demand for food will only increase. No pills or

machines have solved our food problems yet.

numbers of lives. Science and technology helped us out of

starvation during the 1960s and 70s when the world's population

exploded. ③_____ The result of this panic was the "green

revolution", which saw the introduction to farming of high

production grains, improved irrigation systems and hybrid seeds,

saving over one billion people from starvation.

④_____ Having enough food is only the first step. There are

complications with natural disasters, conflict, poverty and

environmental problems. All these can mean that the food supply

is put at risk. ⑤_____ Many people are concerned about "playing

around with nature", adjusting how food looks and tastes and

smells, and other human interferences(干预), all of which are

widespread.

Anyhow, the world has not been completely saved from starvation,

but we are on the way to get there.

A. Agricultural science was quite a success.

B. There are many complexities when dealing with food.

C. Modern science and technology of food contributes a lot.

D. Nobody would ever starve if food were this easy to obtain.

34、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成

一篇完整的短文。

At age 10, I stood in front of my new class, my new classmates

looking at me with mild interest as my teacher introduced me. I

joined in the middle of the school year. There were 41 students in

my new class. I was the 42nd.

All my classmates sat in pairs except for this one girl, Kate. I went

and sat down next to her and gave her a small, uncertain smile. She

smiled in return. The class started and we didn't talk until

lunchtime. At lunch time, I pulled out my lunch box, packed by my

mother. It had fried rice with home-made cakes and a small box of

fruits. Clearly my mom had spent time packing this yummy lunch.

This girl took out a small box with bread butter inside. In India, it's

pretty rare for kids to just get bread butter for lunch. The only time

I had bread butter for lunch was if my mom was unwell. So I

thought that was what the problem here was. I offered her a small

part of my lunch and forgot all about it. The next day, she again

had bread butter. Well, I thought, her mother might have fallen ill,

so she was taking time to recover. I again offered her a part of my

lunch. This went on for a week. Then one day, I asked the one

question that I shouldn't have. "Is your mom not well "

In fact, I wasn't prepared for the answer. Later, I knew that her

mother, who worked in a supermarket, was in poor health. She

constantly stayed at home with no income. I didn't know what to

do. So I did the most obvious thing. I went home and told my mom

that my lunch wasn't enough and I still felt hungry after eating it.

My mom started packing a bigger lunch. And in school, I'd tell Kate

that my mom had packed me a lunch too big, so could she please

help me finish it Then I asked her what her favorite dish was.

"Naan," she whispered.

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作答。

When I told my mom that I wanted very much to have Naan, she

felt puzzled.
