【解析】

本文讲述玛利亚帮助贫困儿童读书的故事。

【1】句意：然而，全世界还有许多孩子没有机会读书。

so 所以；however 然而；after all 毕竟；instead 反而。第一段空格处前文讲述读书的带来的好处，空格后表示世界上还有一些孩子是没有机会读书的，上下文是转折关系，并且空格后有逗号，所以用转折关系连词however。故选B。

【2】句意：当她问她妈妈这是为什么，她的妈妈告诉她也许他们买不起书。

choose 选择；afford支付；share 分享；read 阅读。根据前文“She also noticed that some of her classmates didn’t read as much as she did”她注意到她的一些同学读的书没有她多，可推测是孩子不能支付买书的费用。故选B，

【3】句意：她不能相信一些孩子是没有睡前故事的，所以她决定要改变这个状况。

excited 兴奋的；used 被用来；supposed 假设；determined 决定。become是系动词，后接形容词。根据前文“She couldn’t believe that some children didn’t have bedtime stories read to them”，可推测下文要表达的是她下定决心要改变它。固定搭配be determined to do sth 下定决心做某事。故选D。

【4】句意：在她妈妈的帮助下，玛利亚创建了一个零利润的机构，收集书籍和发放一些书籍给需要的孩子。

in safety 安全中；in danger 危险中；in need 有需要；in trouble 麻烦中。根据文章的最后一段“She recently set a new goal:to distribute donations to kids in need in every state in the US”，可知，她创建的机构是为了帮助有需要的孩子们。故选C。

【5】句意：所以我不能放弃，甚至是在达到了我初始设定的100万本的这个目标后。

set out出发；give up 放弃；get off 下车；take up占据。根据前文“I have learned that the number of kids who have no books is in the hundreds of millions”，可推测，大概有1亿的孩子是没有书的，所以尽管在达到她初定的目标后，还不能放弃，还要继续。故选B。

【6】句意：她在储存书的仓库墙上的一张大地图记录了她的进展。

industry 工业；research 研究；progress 进展；study学习。根据空格后on a map，可推测在地图上记录她的进展，空格用progress符合句意。故选C。

【题目】 Most adults show less interest in climate（气候）change than young people. Yet it's adults who have the power to influence the policies（政策）causing climate change. Now a new study shows that teenagers may be able to raise their parents' interest in human effects on climate.

In the study, a new curriculum（课程）was used in some schools in coastal North Carolina. The students worked on four activities centered on the connections between climate change and local wildlife. They also took part in a community-based project and interviewed their parents about the changes in weather they had noticed in their lifetimes. To see how attitudes changed as a result of the program, the researchers surveyed both students and parents at the beginning and the end of the study.

The study shows the students who completed the climate change module cared more about the issue（问题）. The effect was even stronger among parents. Experts say the program's success had a lot to do with how teachers dealt with climate change in the classroom.

"Reading a textbook and completing a worksheet are unlikely to lead students to talk about their day at the dinner table, ”says Martha Monroe, an expert on environmental education at the University of Florida. Instead, the researchers designed hands-on lessons focused on local issues. For example, one task involved monitoring the weather outside the school and comparing it with historical information about the area.

Those activities may have helped increase parental involvement. "If you can get kids so excited and talking with their parents about what they are learning in schools, parents will want to learn, ”says Danielle Lawson, a social scientist and leading researcher of the study. However, she adds, “We are not telling the students what to think or what to say. That way, kids didn't feel that there was all this responsibility put on them to change their parents' minds about anything.”

Lawson is hopeful that kids can boost their parents' understanding of climate science. "I know how powerful kids can be, ”Lawson says. "Kids don't need a special curriculum to discuss climate change at home. They just need to talk to their parents about what they see going on.”

【1】The second paragraph is mainly about

A.how the study was carried out

B.how the activities were designed

C.why a new curriculum was introduced

D.why both students and parents were surveyed

【2】What can we learn about the new curriculum from the passage?

A.It developed students' communication skills.

B.It focused on lessons about climate change in textbooks.

C.It helped students feel responsible to change their parents.

D.It created more chances for families to talk about climate change.

【3】The word "boost" in the last paragraph probably means “_____________”.

A.checkB.expressC.improveD.share

【题目】阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或用括号中词语的正确形式填空。将答案写在答卷上

When holiday is coming to an end, how many of you have burned the midnight oil to finish your homework for several days? 【1】 the school year, when you get home from school, do you start working on your homework right away?

It is hard to be this responsible. A lot of people tend to put off difficult or 【2】 (challenge) tasks until they must be done. They are called procrastinators(拖延症患者).

Procrastination is a common problem for 【3】 (million) of people, in fact, sometimes it just feels easier to wait till the last minute to do certain things. 【4】, this is usually not a good thing, as you have to work harder and faster. This means your work will 【5】 (probable) be of less quality.

I myself am a bit of a procrastinator. But most of the time, I try to finish my work earlier rather 【6】 later. It just makes more sense – if I finish my work now, I 【7】 (have) more time to relax or work on other projects later. Sometimes, it can be hard to promise 【8】get) started immediately. But once I do, the work will get done quickly and successfully.

It’s a 【9】(nature) thing for everyone to procrastinate from time to time. You’d better not beat 【10】 (you) up over it. After all, we still need time to relax and take a break from our busy lives. Just make sure you still get your homework done on time!
