1．The Red Cross is known for doing some of the most heroic acts in the world.There are Red Cross societies in 190 countries all over the world.Their task is to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of sudden serious situations by organizing the power of volunteers and asking people to donate.
In 1860，Swiss businessman and social activist，Jean Henri Dunant，saw the effects of wars，and countries not prepared or able to deal with the suffering of those who had been injured in the Battle of Solferino during the Second War of Italian Independence.Dunant organized a group of volunteers to help bring water and food to the injured，to help with medical treatment，or to write letters to the families of those who were dying.After that moment，he knew that more had to be done，and he wrote the book，A Memory of Solferino，which encouraged the public to create an organization which would help the wounded.His writing encouraged more people to support him in creating the International Federation of the Red Cross.And in 1863，the International Committee of the Red Cross was founded.
The modern-day Red Cross does more than nursing soldiers during wartime.The group began to spend most of its time on disaster relief and epidemic（流行?。?treatment.It has achieved even greater service in humanitarian（人道主義的） programs that serve continuously in both peace and war.
One of the easiest ways you can help the Red Cross is to make sure you are able to donate blood and make an appointment at the Red Cross website.But，donating blood isn't the only way you can help out — the Red Cross also encourages you to donate your time if you can，along with other things the modern-day Red Cross wants you to know.

A．Lighten.
B．Report.
C．Express.
D．Find.
（2）Why did Dunant write A Memory of Solferino？
A．To make more people know the Red Cross.

（3）What is the purpose of the last paragraph？

2．When Adora Svitak was twelve years old，she spoke on the TED stage，saying she hates the word "childish" if it's being used to describe irrational（不合理的）demands or irresponsible behavior.She said she has seen enough of that in the adult world，so she knows irrational demands and irresponsible behavior aren't limited to children.In fact，she made the point that adults could learn a thing or two if they'd only open their mind to the possibility that kids have a lot to offer the world.
Even as a kid，Svitak often spoke to educators，making the point that there should be more of a reciprocal（互惠的）relationship between teachers and students. "It shouldn't just be teachers at the head of the classroom telling them to do this or that.The students should teach their teachers，" she said.
But she wasn't naive（幼稚的），and she knew that isn't how many classrooms and schools operate in that way.Her theory is that it's all about trust.Adults always seem to have a restrictive（約束的）attitude towards kids. "Kids have no or very little say in making the rules，" Svitak joked.
As a young child，Svitak loved to write.When her mom gave her a computer she wrote over 300 short stories on it.She wanted to get them published，and she was lucky because her parents were on her side.Even though she was turned down by many publishers，eventually she did have a book of short stories publijye.aid.She was only seven years old then.
After that first success，Svitak has gone on to do more impressive things，something she wishes more kids had the support to do.She says it's important for kids to be heard and contribute when they're young，so they grow up to become a better kind of adult. "The goal is not to turn kids into your kind of adults，but rather better adults than you guys have been.Progress happens because new generations and new eras grow and develop，and they become better than the previous ones.It's the reason we aren't in the Dark Ages anymore，" she said.
（1）What does Svitak think of using "childish" to describe irrational demands？
A．It is unfair for children.
B．It can lead to positive effects.
C．It takes no account of adults' needs.
D．It can result in irresponsible behavior.
（2）What is a good reciprocal relationship between teachers and students according to Svitak？
A．Students get along with teachers.
B．Students teach instead of learning.
C．Teachers keep telling students what to do.
D．Teachers and students learn from each other.
（3）How did Svitak's parents react to her dream？
A．They supported her.
B．They had doubt about it.
C．They were greatly shocked.
D．They hardly took it seriously.
（4）What can we infer from the last paragraph？
A．Children need to stick to their dreams.
B．Parents should satisfy their children's needs.
C．Children are advised to imitate their parents.
D．Parents should support and expect more from children.組卷：1引用：2難度：0.5 -
3．Reflexology is a natural treatment dating back to ancient times.It is based on the idea that there are zones，or areas，in the feet and hands that are related to other parts and systems of the body.For example，the tips of the toes and fingers are related to the head and neck，and the ball of the foot is related to the heart and chest.A reflexologist applies pressure to specific areas in a patient's feet and hands to relieve symptoms or pain in other related areas.
This type of treatment does not cure or diagnose specific health problems，and it does not involve any medicine or drugs.Yet many patients find that it successfully relieves symptoms of stress and disease.Reflexology is effective for pain，headaches，and sleeping difficulties，among other illnesses.Applying pressure to the feet and hands relieves tension，improves blood circulation，and relaxes muscles.It promotes the natural，healthy functions and well-being of the entire body.Reflexology is often used along with other types of treatments，including conventional medicine.
This gentle therapy is safe and simple.A reflexologist's only tools are his or her hands.Pressure is strong，but not uncomfortable.It's not uncommon for patients to fall asleep during treatments.
A typical treatment session lasts one hour.Treatment is usually focused on the feet for most of the session.A patient is asked to remove his or her shoes and socks，to sit in a comfortable reclining chair，and then to relax as the reflexologist warms the patient's feet with his or her hands and applies pressure to the appropriate parts of the foot.The last ten minutes of the session are dedicated to the hands.
After relieving specific problems，many patients continue a regular program of treatment to maintain good health.Some reflexologists suggest building at least a five-minute reflexology session into every day for long-term relief of stress and pain.
（1）What is a reflexologist？
A．A scientist who studies reflexology practice.

9．One particular Thanksgiving，the weather was so beautiful that Mom decided to have dinner on our front lawn.Dad built a long table，and Mom and I rounded up every chair in the house.I did the place settings and made the centerpiece — my favorite job of the year.
My aunt arrived with Uncle Gordon.I watched him walk from the street up the lawn，tall with his blond hair shining in the sun.Another car had pulled up behind them，and Uncle Gordon waited for a slim man to join him.As they walked，he and Gordon chatted.Mom came out of the house and greeted my aunt.Then，with a surprised look，she said hello to Gordon and his friend.
"Who's this？"
Gordon smiled and told us the man's name. "A Canuck（法裔加拿大人） from Toronto，like me."
"Oh，" Mom said uncertainly. "Well，welcome.Leslie，get another place setting and a chair." She turned to the stranger. "Please have a seat.We're going to eat in about half an hour. "I thought the man looked a little funny，but he smiled. "Why，jye.ai.Thanks a lot." I did as Mom asked and set a place at the table for the stranger.I put him next to Uncle Gordon so the two friends could recall home.And they did a lot of talking.
After dinner，the man approached my mother with a smile. "Thank you for including me in your Thanksgiving dinner，Joyce.It wasn't something I was expecting." Mom frowned，a little confused. "Of course，" she said. "We're glad you could be here.Do you have Thanksgiving in Canada？"
"Ours is in October.We have turkey，though，just like you." He smiled. "But this is one of the best Thanksgivings I've had.I guess Americans and Canadians aren't that different，eh？" Then again，he said， "But I never expected this."
"Gordon's friend seems nice，" Mom said to my aunt when we were alone in the kitchen.
