| 阅读理解。 Being the head of a high school for many years, I grew tired of budget meeting, funding cuts, and many other administrative chores (杂务). I started to dream of retirement. Sitting in traffic on a weekday morning, I would find my mind wandering, I would imagine spending time with my grandchildren, quiet evenings with my wife, traveling, or rediscovering some great books. I told myself that I wouldn't sign myself up for any committees, any classes, or anything requiring a schedule. My first day of retirement came at last! I cooked a great breakfast for my wife and me, leisurely read the paper, cleaned a bit of the house, and wrote a few letters to friends. On the second day, I cooked breakfast, read the paper. On the third day, … This is retirement? I tried to tell myself that it was just the transition (过渡), that those golden moments were right round the corner, and that I would enjoy them soon enough. But something was missing. A former colleague asked a favor. A group of students were going to Jamaica to work with children in the poorest neighborhoods. Would I interrupt my newfound "happiness" and return to the students, just this once? One trip. That's all, my bags were packed and by the door. The trip was very inspiring. I was moved not only by the poverty I saw but also by the sense of responsibility of the young people on the trip. When I returned home, I offered to work one day a week with a local youth organization. The experience was so positive that I was soon volunteering nearly full-time, working with students across North America to assist them in their voluntary work. Now, it seems, the tables have turned. Some days I am the teacher, other days I am the student. These young people have reawakened my commitment (责任感) to social justice issues by challenging me to learn more about the situation in the world today, where people are still poor and suffer because of greed, corruption and war, Most important, they have given me the opportunity to continue to participate in helping to find solutions. In return, I help them do their charitable projects overseas. I've gone from running one school to helping oversee the construction of schools in twenty-one countries! |

| "Friendship is one of the basic bonds between human beings." While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them. Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse (配偶) often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft (失去理智). If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to express their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief. "No man is an island." In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life. As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Outgoing persons enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas shy persons are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships. Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of closeness is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in one's life but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Irrespective of the level of closeness, all friendships are based on reciprocity(互惠), honesty and a certain amount of love and affection. |
| 1. "No man is an island" (Line 1, Para. 3) implies that _______. |
| A. everyone is a part of an island B. man cannot be an island C. everyone is just a part of society D. society is an island |
| 2. The degree of closeness of friendship mainly depends on ________. |
| A. age B. belonging C. personality D. culture |
| 3. The author thinks that close friends ________. |
| A. can be easily formed when one is young B. cannot be long-lasting C. are not rare for everyone D. are rare for most people |
| 4.The word "irrespective" (Last sentence, Para. 5) means ________. |
| A. not respecting B. dishonoring C. regardless D. considering |

| A new study in West Africa shows how farm irrigation systems powered by the sun can produce more food and money for villagers. The study in Benin found that solar-powered pumps are effective in supplying water, especially during the long dry season. Sub-Saharan Africa is the part of the world with the least food security. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that more than one billion of the world's people faced hunger last year. Around two hundred sixty-five million of them live south of the Sahara Desert. Lack of rainfall is one of their main causes of food shortages. Jennifer Burney from Stanford University in California led the study. The research team helped build three solar-powered irrigation systems in northern Benin.The solar-powered irrigation systems produced an average of nearly two metric tons of vegetables per month.They sold the surplus (过剩的) produce at local markets. The earnings greatly increased their ability to buy food during the dry season which can last six to nine months. People in the two villages with the systems were able to eat three to five more serving of vegetables per day. But making the surplus available at markets also had a wider effect.The study compared the villages with two others where women farmed with traditional methods like carrying water in buckets. The amount of vegetables eaten in those villages also increased, though not as much. The researchers note that only four percent of the cropland in sub-Saharan Africa is irrigated. Using solar power to pump water has higher costs at first. But the study says it can be more economical in the long term than using fuels like gasoline, diesel or kerosene. And solar power is environmentally friendly. |
| 1. People living in sub-Saharan Africa are short of food mainly because ______. |
| A. it seldom rains there throughout the year B. there is little farmland in the area C.people there lack experience in farming D.people know nothing about irrigation techniques |
| 2. Which of the following is an advantage of Jennifer's irrigation systems? |
| A. They are not affected by the weather. B. They cost much less than traditional irrigation systems. C. They have no bad effects on the environment. D. They use less fuel than traditional irrigation systems. |
| 3. We can learn from the last paragraph that ______. |
| A. people in South Africa will soon be provided with enough food B. the demand for fuels like gasoline will greatly decrease in Africa C. people in sub-Saharan Africa don't take agriculture seriously D. it's worthwhile to use the new irrigation systems on the whole |
| 4. People in the two villages owe all the following to Jennifer's irrigation systems EXCEPT that ______. |
| A. they could buy more food during the dry season B. they could eat more vegetables than usual every day C. they could supply local markets with vegetables D. they could provide people in other villages with food |
