Amanda Kofoeds had found a strange lump in her arm one day and visited a doctor at a friend's urging. During this time, she was enrolled in school for education and was currently uninsured due to the expense. She planned to save money so she could get on her husband' s insurance and then seek medical treatment for the cancer.
Her friends and family didn't want her to postpone her treatment due to the expense. They took matters into their own hands and started a GoFundMe campaign. The friend came up with the creative idea to spread the word and invite family, friends, and strangers who wanted to help to participate in a donation flash mob (快闪行动).The event started an outpouring of enormous generosity from the local community.

The African Children’s Choir (合唱团) is made up of children who are 7 to 10 years old from Africa. They have incredible voices and spirit that amaze the audience everywhere they go!
And they go to a lot of places, all around the world. And not only do they travel a lot, but they perform with some superstar singers and celebrities for heads of state. But this is not what makes the choir so special.
Like New York’s PS22, they do not just sing, but truly put their hearts, souls and bodies into their words. But what is unique about the choir is that it offers hope, education and confidence to children who live in extreme poverty. For example, the kids in the choir are mostly from the poorest countries in the world. Many children live in one-room homes and walk more than 2 miles to get water for their family. Most of the children have lost one or both of their parents because of wars or diseases.
Through its music and education, the African Children’s Choir changes the lives of its children. It allows them to see the world. It gives them hope and confidence. It shows them that everything is possible. The choir even pays for their education through college. In 30 years, it has educated and changed the lives of over 50, 000 children. And, in turn, the children return to their hometowns with new thoughts and new skills to help improve their family and community. These children are truly helping to build a better Africa.
8. What is special about the choir
A．Its positive influence on poor children.
B．Performing together with famous people.
C．Its members truly putting their hearts into words.
D．Its members focusing on singing beautiful songs.

Virtue, by definition, is the moral excellence of a person. Morally excellent people have a character made up of virtues valued as good. They are honest, respectful, courageous, forgiving and kind, for example. They do the right thing, and don't bend to impulses, urges or desires, but act according to values and principles. Some might say good qualities are inborn. Actually, virtues need to be cultivated. With the habit of being virtuous, we can take control of our lives and move them in the direction of greater happiness and fulfillment.
Virtues are universal and recognized by all cultures as basic qualities of well-being. However, practicing virtues is not easy. So often we know that it takes perseverance to reach our goals, and we still never get there. We know if we forgive, we'll be less angry. We know it takes courage to accomplish great things. So why then, if we know what to do, are we still stuck
Because we have not yet consciously applied a virtue to a given situation so as to change its outcome such as in these examples: kindness towards someone who is having a bad day can make him or her smile and build rapport; trust in a relationship creates valuable, meaningful relationships; gratitude in a job loss can shift our focus from feeling low to how we can have a new, more fulfilling career; service to others can change lives, better neighborhoods and create stronger nations.
We know we are becoming more virtuous people, not only because of the results above but also because of the way other people respond to us. Our friends, families, co-workers, and neighbors will trust and rely on us. They will come to us for guidance and help. They will want to be around us because we inspire them to be better people. Practicing virtues allows us to develop our potential, and live a more purposeful, better life.
12. What can we know about virtuous people from the first paragraph
A．They are born with virtue.
B．They never make a mistake.
C．They have a habit of doing good.
D．They act on the principle of profit.
13. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A．Satisfying career.
B．Practicing virtues.
C．Trust in a relationship.
D．Basic qualities of well-being.
14. What does the underlined word “rapport” mean in the third paragraph
A．A good greeting.
B．A great atmosphere.
C．A good goodbye.
D．A close relationship.
15. What is the author's purpose in the last paragraph
A．To encourage readers to be more virtuous.
B．To encourage readers to live a purposeful life.
C．To encourage readers to offer others guidance.
D．To encourage readers to develop others' potential.

五、书面表达
47. 阅读下面的材料，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。词数150左右。
It all started with the Food Fair, where groups of students prepared food representing different countries, in my school. I was excited to be in Group Spain. The group leader, Stan, designed a sign-up sheet for different tasks. There was a cooking task. I could do far better in cooking. So, I chose to cook Spanish dishes on the very day of the fair.
Yet, the first few weeks slipped away quickly, and no one seemed to be starting their jobs — probably because they were tired by their studies, or they were simply not in the mood. I was worried that we might present a bad Spain because of our slow progress. After telling other members in Group Spain about my worries and encouraging them to make preparations, we finally started the preparation work.
When we made preparations for the fair, I received a message from Stan. “How many cups of drink do you plan to prepare ” he asked. Maybe forty I wasn’t sure. I asked the group members in charge of the planning about the number of people who would be at the fair, but they said they didn’t know. Out of other solutions, I answered Stan with my count and explained that I might need to confirm (确定) with the organizer of the fair to know the exact number.
Then one day later, another demand came, “By the way, can you tell me the price for the food ” Sending him the rough price of the food, I frowned. This was supposed to be the task of others. Why did I have to do it Again, for the progress of our group, I did not think much.
Then came the third, “I mean I need specific numbers, the Unit price for each, and the total cost. Make a table and list all the things, will you ” Before I could do the market research for him, the fourth appeared. I tried to hold my manner as I felt rather dissatisfied when I realized that he was assigning (分派) others’ jobs to me. “That’s it. Enough is enough,” I said to myself.
Having carefully chosen language, I went forward.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After hearing all those words, Stan said he understood my point and admitted his mistakes.

四、书信范文
Dear Amy,
I’m glad you’re interested in our school’s “Time Capsule — A Letter to Myself in Four Years” activity. I’m writing to introduce it to you.
We write down our dreams, short-term plans and expectations for four years later, then seal the letters into a box to be opened when we graduate. I plan to write that I hope to master English well, get into my dream university and keep my hobby of painting.
Why not make your own time capsule It’s a meaningful way to record your youth.
Yours,
Li Hua
五、读后续写范文
Having carefully chosen language, I went forward. I talked to Stan calmly and told him I fully understood he wanted our group’s food preparation to be perfect. However, I had already taken the heavy cooking task, and all the statistical and costing work belonged to other teammates. It was unfair to pile extra tasks on me alone, which would make me too busy to cook well. I suggested he divide all tasks evenly among every member.
After hearing all those words, Stan said he understood my point and admitted his mistakes. He apologized for randomly assigning others’ work to me without thinking. Right away, he gathered all group members and rearranged the tasks reasonably, letting everyone take their own share of planning and statistics work. With reasonable task division, our preparation went smoothly, and our Spanish food display won high praise at the school Food Fair.
