21、I discovered the wonders of volunteering when I was at school. One day, our teacher presented the topic “voluntary work”. At first, I thought it was just another normal lesson. Then the pictures she showed us of the poor hungry children in Africa really hit my heart. She also showed pictures of the homeless people in our town that sleep in the cold and had no more than a hot soup given by the “Night Watchers”.

Then, our teacher encouraged us to think up a volunteer work project. Plan everything and put it into practice. Some of my classmates and I decided to help the homeless people. They were part of our community.

First, we visited the “Night Watchers” office and asked for ideas about how to help the homeless people. They told us since winter was on its way, they were going to need blankets to sleep with.

Great! We decided to start a campaign to collect old blankets. We also asked for socks so that they could have something to keep their feet warm. We made posters, sent everyone an email and went from classroom to classroom to explain to all the students what we were doing.

We were able to collect 20 blankets and 60 pairs of socks. That was wonderful. The best part of our project was when we went with the volunteers from “Night Watchers” to give the blankets to the homeless people. They were so happy and grateful. I felt very good when I saw their smiles.

After this experience, I decided to join the volunteering club at my school. I’m always anxious for Wednesday afternoon because that’s the day we do our work.

【1】The “Night Watchers” are probably ________.

A．police

B．workers of a charity

C．students

D．poor children

【2】What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．homeless people

23、Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there’s too much to read these days, and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are very good.

Preview — if it’s long and hard. Previewing is very useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and science reports.

Here is how to preview.

●Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.

●Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.

Previewing doesn’t give you all the details. It tells you not to spend time on things you don’t really want or need to read.

Skim — if it’s short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading, like popular magazines or the sports of your daily paper.

Here’s how to skim.

●Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.

●Pick up only a few key words in each line.

Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece, but perhaps we’ll get the same idea of what it’s all about.

【1】What does the underlined word “preview” mean in Chinese?

A．精读

B．默读

C．朗读

D．预览

【2】What should we do when we read a science report?

A．Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.

B．Spend a lot of time reading the details.

C．Read the first and the last sentences of each paragraph.

D．Pick up only a few key words in each line.

【3】What should we NOT do when we read the news about sports events in a daily paper according to the passage?

A．Get our eyes to move fast.

B．Read the last two paragraphs carefully.

C．Sweep our eyes across each line.

D．Pick up only a few key words in each line.

【4】Which is right from the passage?

A．Only reading is a good habit.

B．Previewing gives you all the details

C．When you read popular magazines, you can skim.

D．There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in more time.

24、阅读下面短文，根据语境、音标或所给单词的提示，在每个空格内填入一个恰当的词，要求所填的词意义准确、形式正确，使短文意思完整、行文连贯。

This is a food pyramid. Through it, we can know about the nutrition (营养) our body needs to keep healthy.

The food pyramid includes (包括) 【1】 levels. From the bottom to the top, the size of each food group becomes 【2】 (small). It means we should eat least of the food at the 【3】 of the pyramid.

The 【4】 level is the grain group. It’s the main source of carbohydrates (碳水化合物) which 【5】 /prə'vaid/ us with energy. It should make up the largest part of our diet. The next pyramid level is mainly about vegetables and fruit. They are rich in vitamins and help 【6】 /im'pru:v/ our immunity (免疫力) to illnesses.

The third level is fish, 【7】 /mi:t/ and milk products. They are good sources of protein (蛋白质), which are the building blocks of our body. The last level is products high in oils, salts, sugars and fats. They are delicious but 【8】 (healthy), so we only need them in small amounts.

I know of a family that has the food pyramid 【9】 the wall of the kitchen and it helps the children pick out food to eat each day. Every one of the children can make a 【10】 (decide) about their meals, but they have to pick food from each level. Gradually the children form healthy eating habits.
