Volunteer on a Disaster Action Team

Most of the 60,000 emergencies that the Red Cross responds to each year are local, personal disasters like home fires. They may not make the news, hut we know they are just as devastating (破坏性) to the families affected. So join us to answer the call when your neighbors need help.

Trained and available, Disaster Action Team volunteers are ready to respond to these emergencies, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. From offering a shoulder to cry on to meeting any immediate needs for shelter or supplies, to connecting people with long term recovery services, our volunteers ensure that families don’t have to face tough times alone.

Many disaster action team volunteers share these life experiences and skills:

·Team-spirited

·Availability and flexibility for at least 4—6 hours per week

·Tender-hearted

·Disaster response experience

·Have a command of two languages

·Can remain calm and patient during stressful situations

Disaster Action Team volunteers help local families cope with emergencies.

Home fires and other disasters can occur any time, any place. As a Disaster Action Team volunteer, you’ll provide emotional support, financial assistance, and information to help families begin the process of recovery. After your initial training, your shifts will include responding to emergencies within 2 hours, night or day, rain or shine, either on the scene or acting remotely to provide immediate care. With experience and further training you can take on leadership to have a wider impact.

Note: the volunteer positions available to you will vary depending on your location and the needs of your local community.

As an undergraduate, 1 was fascinated by a visiting professor’s lecture. The second I left the talk, I called my sister and told her I had decided to become a paleoclimate (古气候) scientist—to which she replied, “A what?” No one in my family has a graduate degree. And no one heard of this term. Thus I began my journey through the unwritten expectations and assumed knowledge about applying to graduate school.

I sent that professor an email, asking whether he had time to talk to me. He agreed to meet virtually, explained his graduate research, and shared stories of fieldwork, but he made no mention of how students were supported. I didn’t think to ask. I assumed pursuing a graduate degree would mean paying tuition and going without income. That was not an option for me. So, I tried to let go of the idea of continuing my education.

Later I learned from my adviser that many programs not only cover tuition, but also offer scholarship. My dream became a possibility again.

Then came the next problem: figuring out how to apply. I fell into a rabbit hole of Internet advice from self-appointed experts, each with a different opinion on email etiquette (礼仪), interview scheduling, and how to express interest in a project. The suggested timelines contradicted (相矛盾) one another. I felt hopeless again, terrified I would break an unspoken rule.

But I gathered all the advice I could and spent hours crafting emails to professors. Ultimately, I was accepted to work on a master’s project in a city where I had always wanted to live.

Standing in the lab that day, I realized that—despite my uncertainty—I had made it exactly where I had hoped to be. When I had started down this path, there was so much I didn’t know. But I made it by trying walking into the unknown.

C．She was puzzled about the author’s decision.

D．She was too excited to hear the author’s words.

25．How did the author feel after talking with that visiting professor?

26．What problem did the author face?

A．Lack of the professor’s support. B．There being no work experience.

C．The confusion of making a decision. D．Demanding requirements of the professor.

27．What does the text mainly intend to tell us?

A．Well begun, half done. B．Every man has his price.

C．One tree does not make a forest. D．Something attempted, something done.

A new study found some primates (灵长类) are leaving their tree homes and spending more time on the ground. Led by Timothy Eppley, Ph. D．, scientists studied nearly 50 species of monkeys and lemurs (狐猴) to look at the reason behind these changes.

About 15 years ago, Eppley worked with southern bamboo lemurs, which were known to spend most of their days in the trees, feeding on bamboo leaves. However, he was surprised to find these lemurs were spending most time on the ground and had an incredibly diverse diet. He wondered whether habitat reduction and limited food resource availability were driving them move to the ground. This inspired him to begin this study.

He reached out to every researcher he could find who may have significant data on primates from Madagascar or the Americas, the two places with almost all tree-dwelling primates.

Eppley examined more than 150,000 hours of data observed on 32 monkey species and 15 lemur species at 68 sites. He found that they spent an average of only 2.5% of their time on the ground each month. But the findings showed some interesting differences.

“As habitats are degraded and the climate worsens, primates that are flexible enough to adapt because of their diverse diets or live in larger groups may be more likely to shift to life on the ground,” Eppley says. “However, other species that rely on fruit diets or live in small groups are less adaptable and are less willing to leave the tree. For these species, we will still need to enforce fast and effective conservation strategies to ensure their survival.”

Although moving to the ground has some advantages in certain situations, primates can face problems when they leave the trees. They can become victims of other animals and diseases. Besides, they will be faced with finding appropriate food resources on the ground, thus having a broad or flexible diet is important. Primates are important seed spreaders within their forest habitats. The loss of primates would lead to negative effects on the ecosystem.

28．Why did Timothy Eppley begin his study?

A．To try to make primates more adaptive.

B．To study how monkeys differ from lemurs.

C．To figure out the reason for the loss of bamboo.

D．To find out why primates are turning to the ground.

29．How did Timothy Eppley carry out his research?

A．By doing experiments. B．By observing in the wild

C．By studying collected data D．By interviewing the locals.

30．Which kind of primates are more likely to come down from trees?

A．Those eating diverse diets. B．Those with a large size.

C．Those feeding mainly an fruits. D．Those living in small groups.

31．What will become a concern according to the study?

A．Animals will become less adaptive. B．The forest ecosystem will become worse.

C．More natural habitats will be lost. D．More animal-related diseases will appear.

A study looked at the various modes of e-mobility in Germany to find e-bikes are all charged up and leading the pack.

The most surprising finding was the number of e-bikes: 18% of the respondents stated they used an e-bike, compared to an also impressive 7% who said they use an e-car. E-bikes were considered practical compared to regular bikes because of the reduced physical exertion and extended range. Another benefit of e-bikes over e-cars is that they are fun. This apparently makes them the most “attractive” form of an electric vehicle.

In North America, we often need a car to go around, but in Germany, just over half of the e-bike users managed to do so. However, 68% of these e car users did, probably “due to the ability to transport larger items”.

Perhaps the most interesting numbers are those for the distance travelled. E-bikes are used for trips with a length of 15 kilometers, significantly less than the 25 kilometer trip length for the e-cars but still a big number for a bike trip.

The study stated, “E-bikes are already the most commonly used means of electric transportation in Germany.”

This is good news for North America, which has fallen behind European countries in e-bike uptake. The U.S. Office of Energy Efficiency said, “Data collected on one-way household trips show that 59.4% of vehicle trips were less than six miles. In fact, three-fourths of all trips are ten miles or less.”

Others tell us that the infrastructure (设施) is terrible, but cities in Texas are investing in bike infrastructure. For the e-bike revolution to take off, we need good affordable bikes, safe places to ride, and secure places to park. It s also apparent that we need better regulation of e-bikes to ensure they all meet related standard to avoid battery fires like those happening in New York.

But in Germany, the overall success of e-bikes can be expected to continue both in terms of popularity of e-bikes and in terms of total sales.

32．What does the underlined word “exertion” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Weight. B．Effort. C．Contact. D．Barrier.

33．What can we infer about North America from Paragraph 6?

A．It is poorer then Europe. B．Its residents prefer long trips.

C．Its road conditions are terrible. D．It has the conditions to promote e-bikes.

34．What is the author’s attitude toward the use of e-bikes?

A．Favorable. B．Doubtful. C．Uninterested. D．Objective.

35．Which can be the best title for the text?

A．E-Bikes Still Need Improving B．E-Bikes Are Widely Used for Trips

C．E-Bikes Are Popular in Germany D．E-Bikes Are Coming to North America

67．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。

One day my mother and I were out having a girls’ day, and we decided to go to a seafood restaurant. We got there just as the lunch rush started, so there was a line to get in. I looked over to the side and spied a very thin lady with no coat and a chemo shunt (化疗分流器) in her arm. She was holding a sign that rend: “Homeless and hungry. Please help.”

I looked around at everyone, and no one looked like they cared in the least. I knew that if I didn’t do something. I will be regretful forever. I went over to her and asked if she would like to come out of the cold and get something to eat. She looked for a second like she was unsure I was talking to her. She put her head down and said in the lowest voice, “Yes.”

I helped her to her feet and walked her up to my mother, who was in line. We stood there together until we were seated. When the waitress came, she asked what we wanted to eat but completely ignored this woman and acted like she didn’t exist.

Then the owner came over and asked if we wanted this woman to sit at our table. I assured her we did. She then asked what her name was, to which I replied that we hadn’t gotten to ask that yet.

Then she said something that put me over the top. She said, “Well, you did right by getting her food instead of giving her money.”

This was the last straw for my mother and me. I talked loud enough for everyone to hear when I told her, “This woman is sitting right here. She is not invisible, and she is not deaf. She is just as good as anyone in here, and I will not allow her to be treated any differently than any other customer in here.”

66．One possible version:

Dear Aiden,

How are you going? I have an exciting idea that I will take my grandparents to travel abroad after the college entrance examination in July.

My grandparents are over sixty years old, but they are in good health and fond of travelling. However, with my parents busy, my grandparents take over the task to cook for me every day and have no time to travel except in my summer holidays. This will be our first time to go abroad, so I want to have your suggestions.

Looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

67．One possible version:

I called the waitress back over and told her to take the woman’s order. She ordered a cup of coffee. After the waitress left, we got to talking, and I found out that her name was Judy. She had no children and her husband passed away last year. What’s worse, she developed cancer and lost her house because of the treatment expenses. She could not find a job. She was supposed to get a ride to a shelter, but the treatment took her too long, and she missed the bus.

We promised to give her a ride to the shelter when we had the meal. I said to her that she was sure to win her battle with cancer and got back on her feet. She was moved and thanked me in a quiet voice, looked down, and started eating. After we ate, I left the waitress her tip on the receipt and wrote “Kindness costs nothing.” If you are ever given the opportunity to help someone in need, do it. The feeling you get out of it is worth more than you’ll ever know. It’s priceless.
