When Amelia Lisowe was told she was too young to volunteer, she decided to make a difference by herself. The Benton, Arkansas native launched her own non-profit, Lisowe’s Lights, in 2018, donating over 500 nightlights to kids in the Arkansas foster (寄养的) system that year alone.
Since, she has expanded to all 50 states (and 9 countries) and raised funds to distribute more than 15,000 nightlights — with no plans of slowing down.
“Kids in foster homes sometimes have to leave in the middle of the night without taking anything with them,” she says. “I wanted to help them feel less scared and more safe.” The 12-year-old hopes to give away at least 2,500 more lights in 2023.
Amelia grew up volunteering with her mom, Lauren, who encouraged her daughter to find something she was good at and use it to make the world a better place. “I’m so proud of her,” Lauren adds. “She’s involved in every decision we make. Every time we spend money, she helps decide if something is a good idea or will further our cause.”
Amelia also gets help from friends in the Royal International Miss Pageant system, who run their own nightlight drives in person and online. Amelia, a sixth grader who also volunteers at her local food bank and nursing home, says she feels the impact of her work most when she hears from organizations that have put her lights to use.
“I heard about one boy in Oklahoma who never turned off his hall light, not because he was scared, but because he wanted to make sure his little sister was always doing okay across the hall,” Amelia shares. “When they got their nightlight, he knew she wouldn’t be afraid anymore.”
4 What was the reason for Amelia’s being refused as a volunteer
A. Her young age. B. Her slow reaction.
C. Her busy schedule. D. Her little experience.
5. How can nightlights help kids in foster homes
A. By easing their scare. B. By encouraging them to explore.
C. By ensuring their safety. D. By putting them to sleep.
6. What is Lauren’s attitude to Amelia’s work
A. Opposed. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Worried.
7. Why did Amelia mention a boy in Oklahoma in the last paragraph
A. To explain why he kept light on. B. To express her pride in her job.
C. To decide what she would do next. D. To show how nightlights help kids.
C
Animals being extinct from the Earth is a serious issue. When this happens in order to use their fur or skin for fashion, it is even worse, since it’s not even for a matter of human survival. That’s why a London zoo decided to make a powerful statement at the Siamese crocodile enclosure (鳄鱼围栏).
When visitors come in expecting to see a crocodile, they’re greeted with the handbag instead, making a very effective and powerful point about illegal wildlife trade and the harm it takes on the species involved.
A sign by the enclosure reads, “This bag used to be found swimming in slow-moving rivers and streams across Southeast Asia and Indonesia. Over the last 75 years, more than 80% of Siamese crocodiles have disappeared. Many, like this one, were hunted for their skins as part of the illegal wildlife trade.”.
Native to parts of Southeast Asia, Siamese crocodiles are critically endangered and have become virtually extinct in the wild. Due to hunting as well as habitat loss, they are now absent from nearly 99% of their original range. A huge part of the decline of population is due to humans using their wetland habitat for rice farming, and things only took a turn for the worse when large-scale hunting for their skin for commercial purposes began in the 1950s.
The particular handbag that is on display at the zoo was confiscated at a UK airport, according to Benjamin Tapley, leader of reptiles and amphibians at ZSL London Zoo.
Tapley told The Huffington Post, “We made this exhibit, within ZSL London Zoo’s Reptile House, to draw visitors’ attention to the destructive impact the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) is having on species around the world. At ZSL, we are working globally with governments and local communities to protect wildlife, support law enforcement (执法) that targets illegal trade networks, empower local communities affected by IWT and reduce demand for threatened wildlife.”
8. Why does the sign say this handbag used to swim
A. It is made of a crocodile’s skin.
B. It is made into a crocodile shape.
C. It is light enough to float on water.
D. It was kept in flowing river at first.
9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Wildly hunting of Siamese crocodiles.
B. Destruction of Siamese crocodiles’ habitats.
C. Commercial value of Siamese crocodiles.
D. Causes to make Siamese crocodiles endangered.
10. What does the underlined word “confiscated” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Seized. B. Sold. C. Found. D. Stolen.
11 What does Tapley’s words focus on
A. The importance of wildlife protection.
B. The crisis endangered animals are facing.
C. The purpose to show the handbag.
D. The harm IWT caused.
D
Coral reefs(珊瑚礁) are a unique ocean ecosystem consisting of rocky structures mainly formed by coral animals and some other ocean life. Despite only covering 0.2 percent of the ocean floor, coral reefs support at least 25 percent of marine species, as well as providing food and economic security for hundreds of millions of people.
However, coral reefs across the world are under threat. Warmer oceans can cause the coral bleaching(漂白). It happens when the corals lose colored algae(海藻) living in their bodies and turn completely white. Without the algae, the corals lose their main food source and can die. In addition, as oceans become more acidic(酸性的) from absorbing CO2, corals in acidic conditions become weak in forming reefs.
In 2021, the United Nations reported a 14 percent loss of corals across the world largely from rising sea temperatures in the previous 13 years. Australia declared mass bleaching events in 2022 across large parts of the Great Barrier Reef, four times since 2016. Data from the Philippines showed higher than usual ocean temperatures between 2015 and 2017 had caused a serious three-year bleaching events in reefs across the planet.
Scientists have been cooperating to see how coral reefs can be protected. Thankfully, they find those coral reefs in the hot parts of the globe are the worst affected. They contain corals with better heat resistance. So their research focus on finding genes(基因) for heat tolerance so that they can be passed on to future generations. Biologists also mix corals that are more resilient to higher temperatures with those that are not and the resulting generation has a better chance of survival.
Ultimately, scientists add that without a serious reduction in greenhouse gas, 99 percent of the world’s coral reefs will be gone by the end of the century. There is a limit to how quickly corals can adapt warm climate, but if temperatures rise rapidly, then extinction is certain.
12. Which is the main threat to coral reefs
A. Declining ocean acidification. B. Loss of colored algae.
C. Increasing sea temperatures. D. Lack of food source.
13. What do we know from paragraph 3
A. No actions are taken to protect coral reefs. B. Coral bleaching is the worst in Australia.
C. Coral reefs have grown rapidly for years. D. Coral reefs receive impacts globally.
14. What can be the basic way to protect coral reefs
A. Lowering emission. B. Transplanting them to the hot parts.
C. Relying on genes science. D. Limiting their spread.
15. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Where Are Coral Reefs Spread B. How Can Coral Reefs Survive
C. Coral Reefs, A New Threat To Ocean Life D. Coral Reefs, A Busy Underwater Community

On an ordinary weekend, Charley went out as usual. Unfortunately, he had a car accident. Charley was hurt badly. With the help of the police and kind people, Charley was sent to a nearby hospital in time. The doctor said Charley might have broken his back and could lose the use of his legs. His life would change forever.
Over the next month, as Charley was in hospital, his friend Tad felt an strong sense of worry. When he picked up the courage to visit, he found a sad Charley. Looking small and pale, Charley shouted, “I can’t walk. What should I do ” Tad tried to comfort him, but words were not enough.
When Charley got out of the hospital, Tad went over to his house a few times and helped him with the lessons, but it just wasn’t the same. Not only was Charley’s body damaged, so was his spirit. Gradually, because of busy study, Tad didn’t have much time to visit Charley. He felt sad and guilty (内疚的) that he wasn’t spending more time with Charley. He wanted to help him but didn’t know how to do it.
On returning to school, Charley’s challenges became more obvious. Sitting in a wheelchair brought him several difficulties, from picking up his schoolbag to getting trapped by gym doors. Though Charley wasn’t hurt, he was so embarrassed that he didn’t talk to anyone during the rest of the day. Tad wanted to help his friend to make it all better but he knew his help was limited, so he needed to seek help from other people or organisations. He knew that Charely always loved dogs. He remembered reading on the Internet that therapy (治疗) dogs can help reduce anxiety and sadness. So he made every effort to find organisations that had therapy dogs and told them about Charley, hoping they could help him. In the end, Tad showed up in the Charely’s with a big black dog.

When Amelia Lisowe was told she was too young to volunteer, she decided to make a difference by herself. The Benton, Arkansas native launched her own non-profit, Lisowe’s Lights, in 2018, donating over 500 nightlights to kids in the Arkansas foster (寄养的) system that year alone.
Since, she has expanded to all 50 states (and 9 countries) and raised funds to distribute more than 15,000 nightlights — with no plans of slowing down.
“Kids in foster homes sometimes have to leave in the middle of the night without taking anything with them,” she says. “I wanted to help them feel less scared and more safe.” The 12-year-old hopes to give away at least 2,500 more lights in 2023.
Amelia grew up volunteering with her mom, Lauren, who encouraged her daughter to find something she was good at and use it to make the world a better place. “I’m so proud of her,” Lauren adds. “She’s involved in every decision we make. Every time we spend money, she helps decide if something is a good idea or will further our cause.”
Amelia also gets help from friends in the Royal International Miss Pageant system, who run their own nightlight drives in person and online. Amelia, a sixth grader who also volunteers at her local food bank and nursing home, says she feels the impact of her work most when she hears from organizations that have put her lights to use.
“I heard about one boy in Oklahoma who never turned off his hall light, not because he was scared, but because he wanted to make sure his little sister was always doing okay across the hall,” Amelia shares. “When they got their nightlight, he knew she wouldn’t be afraid anymore.”
4. What was the reason for Amelia’s being refused as a volunteer
A. Her young age. B. Her slow reaction.
C. Her busy schedule. D. Her little experience.
5 How can nightlights help kids in foster homes
A. By easing their scare. B. By encouraging them to explore.
C. By ensuring their safety. D. By putting them to sleep.
6. What is Lauren’s attitude to Amelia’s work
A. Opposed. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Worried.
7. Why did Amelia mention a boy in Oklahoma in the last paragraph
A. To explain why he kept light on. B. To express her pride in her job.
C. To decide what she would do next. D. To show how nightlights help kids.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When Amelia Lisowe was told she was too young to volunteer, she decided to make a difference by herself. (当Amelia Lisowe被告知她还太小,不能做志愿者时,她决定自己产生影响)”可知,Amelia被拒绝做志愿者是因为她年龄太小。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的““Kids in foster homes sometimes have to leave in the middle of the night without taking anything with them,” she says. “I wanted to help them feel less scared and more safe.” (“寄养家庭的孩子有时不得不在半夜离开,什么也不带,”她说。“我想让他们感到不那么害怕,更有安全感。”)”可知,夜灯可以让被迫半夜离开寄养家庭的孩子们不那么害怕。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Amelia grew up volunteering with her mom, Lauren, who encouraged her daughter to find something she was good at and use it to make the world a better place. “I’m so proud of her,” Lauren adds. (Amelia从小和她的妈妈Lauren一起做志愿者,Lauren鼓励她找到自己擅长的东西,并用它来让世界变得更美好。“我为她感到骄傲,”Lauren补充道)”可知,Lauren鼓励Amelia通过做擅长的事情让世界变美好,为她感到骄傲。由此可知,她对女儿的善举非常支持。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““I heard about one boy in Oklahoma who never turned off his hall light, not because he was scared, but because he wanted to make sure his little sister was always doing okay across the hall,” Amelia shares. “When they got their nightlight, he knew she wouldn’t be afraid anymore.” (Amelia说:“我听说俄克拉何马州的一个男孩从不关走廊灯,不是因为他害怕,而是因为他想确保他的小妹妹在走廊对面一直感到舒适。当他们有了夜灯,他知道她不会再害怕了。”)”可知,俄克拉何马州的这个男孩有了夜灯以后,就可以不用担心自己的妹妹很害怕了。由此推知,Amelia提到这个男孩是为了说明夜灯是如何帮助这些孩子的。故选D项。

Animals being extinct from the Earth is a serious issue. When this happens in order to use their fur or skin for fashion, it is even worse, since it’s not even for a matter of human survival. That’s why a London zoo decided to make a powerful statement at the Siamese crocodile enclosure (鳄鱼围栏).
When visitors come in expecting to see a crocodile, they’re greeted with the handbag instead, making a very effective and powerful point about illegal wildlife trade and the harm it takes on the species involved.
A sign by the enclosure reads, “This bag used to be found swimming in slow-moving rivers and streams across Southeast Asia and Indonesia. Over the last 75 years, more than 80% of Siamese crocodiles have disappeared. Many, like this one, were hunted for their skins as part of the illegal wildlife trade.”.
Native to parts of Southeast Asia, Siamese crocodiles are critically endangered and have become virtually extinct in the wild. Due to hunting as well as habitat loss, they are now absent from nearly 99% of their original range. A huge part of the decline of population is due to humans using their wetland habitat for rice farming, and things only took a turn for the worse when large-scale hunting for their skin for commercial purposes began in the 1950s.
The particular handbag that is on display at the zoo was confiscated at a UK airport, according to Benjamin Tapley, leader of reptiles and amphibians at ZSL London Zoo.
Tapley told The Huffington Post, “We made this exhibit, within ZSL London Zoo’s Reptile House, to draw visitors’ attention to the destructive impact the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) is having on species around the world. At ZSL, we are working globally with governments and local communities to protect wildlife, support law enforcement (执法) that targets illegal trade networks, empower local communities affected by IWT and reduce demand for threatened wildlife.”
8. Why does the sign say this handbag used to swim
A. It is made of a crocodile’s skin.
B. It is made into a crocodile shape.
C. It is light enough to float on water.
D. It was kept in flowing river at first.
9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Wildly hunting of Siamese crocodiles.
B. Destruction of Siamese crocodiles’ habitats.
C. Commercial value of Siamese crocodiles.
D. Causes to make Siamese crocodiles endangered.
10. What does the underlined word “confiscated” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Seized. B. Sold. C. Found. D. Stolen.
11. What does Tapley’s words focus on
A. The importance of wildlife protection.
B. The crisis endangered animals are facing.
C. The purpose to show the handbag.
D. The harm IWT caused.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】

【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线处“The particular handbag that is on display at the zoo was (在动物园展出的那个特别的手提包)”以及“at a UK airport (在英国机场)”可知,这只在动物园展出的手提包是在英国机场查封的,划线处和A项:Seized(逮住,查封)含义接近。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“We made this exhibit, within ZSL London Zoo’s Reptile House, to draw visitors’ attention to the destructive impact the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) is having on species around the world. (我们在伦敦动物园的爬行动物馆举办了这个展览,以引起游客对非法野生动物贸易(IWT)对世界各地物种的破坏性影响的关注)”可知,塔普利的话旨在引起游客对非法野生动物贸易对世界各地物种的破坏性影响的关注。由此可知,他的意思就是展示手提包的目的上。故选C。

Coral reefs(珊瑚礁) are a unique ocean ecosystem consisting of rocky structures mainly formed by coral animals and some other ocean life. Despite only covering 0.2 percent of the ocean floor, coral reefs support at least 25 percent of marine species, as well as providing food and economic security for hundreds of millions of people.
However, coral reefs across the world are under threat. Warmer oceans can cause the coral bleaching(漂白). It happens when the corals lose colored algae(海藻) living in their bodies and turn completely white. Without the algae, the corals lose their main food source and can die. In addition, as oceans become more acidic(酸性的) from absorbing CO2, corals in acidic conditions become weak in forming reefs.
In 2021, the United Nations reported a 14 percent loss of corals across the world largely from rising sea temperatures in the previous 13 years. Australia declared mass bleaching events in 2022 across large parts of the Great Barrier Reef, four times since 2016. Data from the Philippines showed higher than usual ocean temperatures between 2015 and 2017 had caused a serious three-year bleaching events in reefs across the planet.
Scientists have been cooperating to see how coral reefs can be protected. Thankfully, they find those coral reefs in the hot parts of the globe are the worst affected. They contain corals with better heat resistance. So their research focus on finding genes(基因) for heat tolerance so that they can be passed on to future generations. Biologists also mix corals that are more resilient to higher temperatures with those that are not and the resulting generation has a better chance of survival.
Ultimately, scientists add that without a serious reduction in greenhouse gas, 99 percent of the world’s coral reefs will be gone by the end of the century. There is a limit to how quickly corals can adapt warm climate, but if temperatures rise rapidly, then extinction is certain.
12. Which is the main threat to coral reefs
A. Declining ocean acidification. B. Loss of colored algae.
C. Increasing sea temperatures. D. Lack of food source.
13. What do we know from paragraph 3
A. No actions are taken to protect coral reefs. B. Coral bleaching is the worst in Australia.
C. Coral reefs have grown rapidly for years. D. Coral reefs receive impacts globally.
14. What can be the basic way to protect coral reefs
A. Lowering emission. B. Transplanting them to the hot parts.
C. Relying on genes science. D. Limiting their spread.
15. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Where Are Coral Reefs Spread B. How Can Coral Reefs Survive
C. Coral Reefs, A New Threat To Ocean Life D. Coral Reefs, A Busy Underwater Community
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】

Data from the Philippines showed higher than usual ocean temperatures between 2015 and 2017 had caused a serious three-year bleaching events in reefs across the planet.”(2021年,联合国报告称,全球珊瑚损失了14%,主要原因是过去13年海洋温度上升。澳大利亚宣布大堡礁大部分地区在2022年发生大规模白化事件,自2016年以来发生了四次。来自菲律宾的数据显示,2015年至2017年期间,海洋温度高于正常水平,导致全球各地的珊瑚礁出现了为期三年的严重白化事件。)可知,第三段主要讲的是珊瑚礁受到全球范围的影响。故选D项。

47. 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。
On an ordinary weekend, Charley went out as usual. Unfortunately, he had a car accident. Charley was hurt badly. With the help of the police and kind people, Charley was sent to a nearby hospital in time. The doctor said Charley might have broken his back and could lose the use of his legs. His life would change forever.
Over the next month, as Charley was in hospital, his friend Tad felt an strong sense of worry. When he picked up the courage to visit, he found a sad Charley. Looking small and pale, Charley shouted, “I can’t walk. What should I do ” Tad tried to comfort him, but words were not enough.
When Charley got out of the hospital, Tad went over to his house a few times and helped him with the lessons, but it just wasn’t the same. Not only was Charley’s body damaged, so was his spirit. Gradually, because of busy study, Tad didn’t have much time to visit Charley. He felt sad and guilty (内疚的) that he wasn’t spending more time with Charley. He wanted to help him but didn’t know how to do it.
On returning to school, Charley’s challenges became more obvious. Sitting in a wheelchair brought him several difficulties, from picking up his schoolbag to getting trapped by gym doors. Though Charley wasn’t hurt, he was so embarrassed that he didn’t talk to anyone during the rest of the day. Tad wanted to help his friend to make it all better but he knew his help was limited, so he needed to seek help from other people or organisations. He knew that Charely always loved dogs. He remembered reading on the Internet that therapy (治疗) dogs can help reduce anxiety and sadness. So he made every effort to find organisations that had therapy dogs and told them about Charley, hoping they could help him. In the end, Tad showed up in the Charely’s with a big black dog.

【答案】范文
The dog, named Rowdy, was a trained service dog to help Charley. Rowdy helped Charley with daily tasks like picking things up, pressing buttons, opening doors and even buying things in the supermarket. More than his services, Rowdy’s presence offered Charley emotional comfort, the kind only a pet could provide. They shared an unspoken bond, one that seemed to bring back a piece of Charley’s lost spirit. Rowdy’s company even made Charley smile, which Tad hadn’t seen in a long time.
Tad could be aware that something had changed. It seemed that the old Charley was back. The two friends talked, laughing over Rowdy’s behaviour, and for the first time in months, they no longer felt the sadness created by the tragic accident. Instead, they treasured the friendship between them, realizing that true friendship could survive the most challenging storms. And as for Rowdy, he was not only a service dog but true company which could make Charley’s life journey a lot easier.
