　　阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

　　第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项

　　A

　　You may not have heard of Ashoka, but for the past 27 years,this association, founded by Bill Drayton, has fought poverty (贫穷)and sickness, promoted education and

　　encouraged small businesses. To support these worthy causes, Ashoka provides money for the world’s most promising "changemakers" seeking to solve (解决) urgent problems and would like to create a world in which every citizen is a changemaker.

　　Drayton believes that anyone can become an agent for change. The important thing is to simply give yourself permission. If you see a problem that you care about, you can help solve it. The young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy, healthy, contributing adult. In fact,it is many young people’s ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions. An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995 in Dhaka, which handled the rubbish problem facing the city,helped local farmers and provided an income for poor people there .

　　When Masqsood and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncollected rubbish that lay in Dhaka’s streets,attracting rats and disease, they discovered that 80% of it was natural waste. So they educated the poor people in the city to compost (把……制成堆肥)this waste. They knew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggling with chemical fertilizers (化肥) which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the soil over the years. At first, they were refused,but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made , the project took off. In 2009 sales were $14,000.

　　Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious,practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.

　　Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

　　A. Changemakers

　　B. Businessmen

　　C. Social Conditions

　　D.Rubbish Problem

　　The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 probably refers to"

　　".

　　A. the local farmers

　　B. Masqsood and Iftekhar

　　C. Drayton and his team

　　D. the poor people in Dhaka

　　It can be concluded from the passage that anyone can become a changemaker if he

　　.

　　A. considers Drayton’s concept

　　B. gets permission from Ashoka

　　C. tries to improve social conditions

　　D. is a young, happy and healthy adult

　　The author’s attitude towards Ashoka’s program can be described as

　　A. changing

　　B. forgiving

　　C. cautious

　　D. positive

　　B

　　Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the

　　Lighthouse Project.

　　I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.

　　Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.

　　After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.

　　Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

　　What do we know about the author?

　　A. His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge.

　　B. His dream at university was to become a volunteer.

　　C. He took pride in having contributed to the world.

　　D. He felt honored to study English literature.

　　According to the Paragraph 2, it is most likely that the author

　　A. discussed his decision with his family.

　　B. asked previous volunteers about voluntary work

　　C. attended special training to perform difficult tasks

　　D. felt sad about having to leave his family and friends

　　In his application for the volunteer job, the author

　　A. participated in many discussions

　　B. went through challenging survival tests

　　C. wrote quite a few paper on voluntary work

　　D. faced strong competition from other candidates

　　On arrival at the village, the author was

　　A. asked to lead a farming team

　　B. sent to teach in a schoolhouse

　　C. received warmly by local villagers

　　D. arranged to live in a separate house.

　　C

　　A typical lion tamer（驯兽师）in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip( 鞭) at a chair. The whip gets all of the attention, but it’s mostly for show. In reality, it’ the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion’s face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided, the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.

　　How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g. lose weight., start a business, travel more)—only to end upbeing confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?

　　This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best, the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we can’t focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.

　　It doesn’t have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is to focus on one thing. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you want to accomplish, someone you want to become…take immediate action. If you’re clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.

　　Why does the lion tamer use a chair?

　　A. To trick the lion.

　　B. To show off his skills.

　　C. To get ready for a fight.

　　D. To entertain

　　the audience.

　　In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?

　　A. They feel puzzled over choices.

　　B. They hold on to the wrong things.

　　C. They find it hard to make changes.

　　D. They have to do something for show

　　What is the author’s attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph3?

　　A. Tolerant.

　　B. Doubtful.

　　C. Respectful.

　　D. Supportive.

　　When the world is “ waving a chair in your face”, you’re advised to _____

　　A. wait for a better chance

　　B. break your old habits

　　C. make a quick decision

　　D. ask for clear guidance

　　D
