四、阅读理解

Kevin,diagnosed with dyslexia(诵读困难症),rarely spoke a word in class,and if he did,it would be a “Yes”,“No”,or “Maybe” in response to questions.He always scored badly in tests and saw no hope for the future.That was until he met Sarah,an advisor at a youth centre Kidpreneur.

In 2012,Kevin attended a course called Ready Set Go in that centre.The course was for disadvantaged kids in Kingswood—a low-income area in Sydney’s western suburbs—and its goal was to teach the kids how to create businesses and offer value to the neighbourhood.

At the end of the course,Sarah took the kids to the local area.She asked volunteers to share their business experiences—Kevin immediately put up his hand.His challenge was to trade his hot dog selling service for free bread at a bakery.Although scared,Kevin was able to share his entrepreneurial story(创业故事) with the shop owner and asked if he could exchange his service for some bread.Unexpectedly,the shop owner told Kevin how moved he was by his story and handed him some bread for free.By the end of the afternoon,his belief in himself and what was possible was at an all-time high.

The following week,Kevin sold 70 hot dogs in two hours and made over $200.Soon after,he delivered public speeches in 20 schools,and was selected as part of his school’s leadership team.Now he heads a business group working on how to increase the potential customer base.

All of this would not have been possible if Kevin had not found his passion and perseverance to improve himself,and those around him.The guidance and trust of his advisor also helped to kindle his enthusiasm to go after his goals and dreams in life.

1.What were the kids expected to achieve in the Ready Set Go course?

A.To improve their test scores.

B.To create a hot dog business.

C.To teach in low-income areas.

D.To be beneficial to the local area.

答案:D

解析:细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词ReadySetGo定位到文章第二段,再根据第二段第二句可知,ReadySetGo这个课程的目标是教孩子们如何创办企业以及如何为社区提供价值。故选D项。

2.How did Kevin feel after visiting the local bakery?

A.Scared.　　 B.Confident.

C.Touched. D.Grateful.

答案:B

解析:推理判断题。根据文章第三段最后一句并结合上文可知,刚开始凯文是害怕的,但经过努力,到下午结束时,他对自己和可能发生的事情的信心空前高涨。由此可推知B项(有信心的)正确。

3.What does the underlined word “kindle” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A.Inspire. B.Share.

C.Continue. D.Express.

答案:A

解析:词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段第一句可知,如果没有激情和毅力,凯文无法提升自我并影响周围的人,所有这些也就不可能实现。从上文可知,是凯文的指导老师萨拉对他的指导和信任帮助他激发了追求目标和梦想的热情。故A项最符合文章语境。

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.On the Road to Recovery

B.Turning Failure into Success

C.Growing Wealthy through Hard Work

D.From Hopeless Youth to Business Leader

答案:D

解析:主旨大意题。通读全文并结合文章第一段第二句以及第四段最后一句可知,刚开始患有诵读困难症的凯文对未来一片茫然,但在遇到指导老师萨拉后,他的生活发生了变化。他找到了创业热情,最后成为一个商业集团的负责人。故D项为最适合的文章标题。

Climate change also increases the 　4　 of droughts and wildfires.After wildfires,it takes a while for the forest systems to 　5　,and in some cases,the forests are 　6　 permanently.Trees that are stressed are also 　7　 to attacks by bacteria(细菌).In tropical forests,vines that use the trees as 　8　 can often choke the trees and rob them of nutrients.Finally,humans have 　9　 the forest landscape through logging.When trees are replanted on the soil,they will never grow as large as the 　10　 trees that were cut down. 

As these forests disappear,species that once called them “home” are forced to change,　11　 the variety of those systems.　12　,some endangered species are unable to 　13　 and die.Old-growth forests are disappearing in all regions of our world.When forests die,younger forests that are reestablished in the same area grow back weaker and smaller 　14　 poor vegetation.With trees dying increasingly and continuously,will future generations 　15　 out on the wonders of forests?
