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, but 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

Coming of age is that time in each of our lives when we begin to see the possibilities. The world opens up in ways that mature our vision and give us a sense of responsibility and gratefulness. Connor had just started college and loved being at that stage in his life where he could eat all the pizza he wanted, yet engage in adult conversations with his parents about the responsibility to make life better for others. Connor’s optimism was infectious. There was so much he could do, and so much he could become.

But it all ended one night when Connor was distracted while driving on a Colorado highway. A young man, who gave off so much light, suddenly went dark.

Connor’s father, David, took it particularly hard.A father sees more than his own traits(性格) in his son; he sees greater possibilities than he achieved. Taking that hope away left David feeling at a loss. But Connor ‘s optimism was one of those traits passed on to him by his father. So, David got to work.

First, he established the Honor Connor Scholarship Fund to reward students who served in the community, Next, he went to work creating a research-based curriculum that educates University of Colorado Boulder students and their families about the dangers of texting while driving. It includes a very simple three part promise: Do not text or use social media while driving, speak out if riding with a driver who is distracted and encourage friends and family to drive phone-free.

David now works with lecturers at various colleges’ and high schools, ensuring young minds understand how statistically at risk they are when they text while driving. He’s become a passionate advocate for preparing young people to drive safely and not reach for their phones while they’re at the wheel. “I just don’t want other parents to go through what I did when I lost Connor,” says David. “It’s just so preventable.”

24．What’s the purpose of paragraph 1?

A．To give the background of a funny story.

B．To explain why David chose to volunteer.

C．To set off David’s great pain of losing his son.

D．To sing high praise for Connor’s healthy growth.

25．What happened to Connor on a Colorado highway?

A．The headlight of his car went wrong.

B．He drove carelessly and died in an accident.

C．He suffered an accident for his father’s fault.

D．He died from another driver’s careless driving.

26．From whom did Connor get the positive attitude towards life?

A．His coach. B．His grandfather. C．His teacher. D．His father.

27．Why did David work with lecturers under a research-based curriculum?

A．He wanted to take a job in a college.

B．He took the classes that Connor hadn’t finished.

C．He wanted to prevent similar sad stories repeating.

D．He honored Connor for what he had done in the community.

Scientists have recently discovered the world’s largest known field of sea grass. They did it using videos shot by some extraordinary helpers. The work should help protect the sea grass, and also shows off a powerful way to explore the ocean.

As a shelter for many sea creatures, sea grasses are flowering plants that normally grow in shallow waters near coasts. They grow in thick fields, known as seagrass meadows (海草床), which help clean the ocean water. More importantly, they are called “ocean lung”. They help in the fight against the climate crisis. That’s because they store huge amounts of carbon—the major source of global warming. Damaging these seagrass meadows can release this pollutant again, making things worse.

Considering the urgent need to protect seagrass meadows, scientists are eager to know about their size and number. However, the meadows can be hard to spot from above, either because the water is too deep or not clear enough. And the ocean is so huge that it’s hard to study them by diving. So scientists decided to have tiger sharks help the research.

Tiger sharks are inborn fast swimmers, and spend a lot of time in seagrass meadows. Between 2016 and 2020, the researchers attached cameras and other trackers to the fins of seven tiger sharks, and then let them go again. The cameras were designed to fall off after hours and float to the surface. Tracking signals helped find the floating cameras and collect the videos the sharks had taken while traveling for miles. Moreover, other tools were used, including satellite images, as well as images taken by divers and boats.

Putting all this information together, the scientists learned that the waters around the Bahamas are home to the largest seagrass meadow ever discovered. And the meadows cover at least 25,500 square miles, and could be as large as 35,500 square miles.

Different from previous studies, the program discovers how useful large underwater animals can be in helping to learn more about life under the sea. Oliver Shipley, a scientist from the team, says animals like tiger sharks are going to take us to new places that we didn’t know existed.

28．Why do seagrass meadows urgently need protection?

A．Damaging them will worsen climate crisis.

B．They determine the cleanliness of ocean water.

C．Sea creatures can’t survive without their shelter.

D．Their existence balances the underwater ecosystem.

29．How did tiger sharks help the scientific research?

A．By tracking signals scientists sent.

B．By bringing back cameras with videos.

C．By carrying the recording equipment around.

D．By spending a lot of time in seagrass meadows.

30．What is the highlight about the research according to the text?

A．Leading scientists. B．Advanced theories.

C．Multiple experimental tools. D．Unusual research assistants.

31．Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A．Man and Nature Work Together B．A Novel Way to Explore the Sea

C．Sea Grass: An Undervalued Plant D．Ocean Lung Measured by Natural Explorers

D

Imagine you bought a new shirt and did not intend to buy a new jacket,however,you suppose that the new shirt makes the old jacket look worn. You weaken and buy a new jacket, new trousers,even new shoes.Before you realize it,you have a whole new wardrobe.And maybe an empty bank account.

This is called the Diderot Effect. Denis Diderot,a well-known French philosopher,was the co-founder and writer of Encyclopedia. However，he was too badly off to afford a dowry(嫁妆)for his daughter. His only valuable possessions were books. Hearing of Diderot’s financial troubles,Catherine the Great,the Empress of Russia, offered to buy his library at a high price. Shortly after this lucky sale，Diderot acquired a new dressing gown(长袍)which had a huge effect on his life. As he wrote in the article in 1769, the new dressing gown made his other belongings seem old and unattractive. Thus, he began replacing them.

According to many social scientists,it resulted from a psychological need for our possessions to go together and to reflect our self-image. In1988, anthropologist Grant McCracken coined the term “the Diderot Effect” to describe this need and its influence on consumerism.

Marketers utilize this need by displaying products in what McCracken calls Diderot Unities. An example is the Swedish furniture company IKEA, whose marketing uses two kinds of Diderot Unities in its shops, website and catalogue. One is dividing items like lamps and rugs into various furniture “families”. The other is displaying items in fully furnished rooms. Shops count on all of these to create the Diderot Effect, making the buyer want the entire package.

We may occasionally give in to the Diderot Effect,but knowing it exists can help us resist it so we don’t regret our purchases. Before buying something, ask yourself, is it necessary? Then, buy items that match what you already have. And remind yourself that a new chair won’t transform your bedroom into a showroom!

32．What can we infer about Denis Diderot from paragraph 2?

A．His belongings were out of style.

B．He showed interest in nothing but books.

C．He kept on buying new items after the lucky sale.

D．His new dressing gown landed him in financial troubles.

33．Why are people always buying things they don’t actually need?

A．To improve their social status.

B．To show off their beauty and elegance.

C．To make their belongings better matched.

D．To cater for the needs of family members.

34．What does the underlined word “utilize” mean in paragraph 4?

A．Get rid of. B．Ignore. C．Affect. D．Take advantage of.

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

A．Keep an eye on your bank account

B．Embrace Minimalism: less is more

C．The Diderot Effect:a two-edged sword

D．Have you ever given in to the Diderot Effect?

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。

When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch very obvious scar (伤疤) on her arm, “Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not notice it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”

It never occurred to me that something like this would happen to my son years later. Sending a child off to college can certainly be stressful for concerned parents. It was 2018 that my son went off to college. He rarely contacted us. I couldn’t help asking about other aspects, which sometimes made him complain that I didn’t treat him as an adult.

To be honest, my son is excellent. Some of my friends always tell me that they admire my son’s characters and they hope their sons could have some of them.

Unexpectedly, it was 4 o’clock in the morning in 2020, when I received the phone call. “This is the emergency room calling and your son was just brought in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We have called for an aircraft and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was serious.

The doctor described the reason, which caused the burns. At 6 am, my son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they lit the charcoal, it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline. The flames caught my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.

Fortunately, one of the boys who was quick-minded grasped my son and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in shape to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars.

After he recovered from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery for 6 months because it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右;

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

The doctors suggested he return to college with scars of severe burns temporarily.

So I told him about Nancy’s childhood.
