21、Conor Grennan was unwilling to be a volunteer. The 29-year-old American was not sure if he had the skills or a strong feeling for it.

However, he went to work at an orphanage (孤儿院) in Nepal. His first thought was to make people impressed.

“I thought that if I volunteered just once, I could retell the story over and over,” Grennan said in the Huffington Post.

However, his three-month stay in the orphanage turned into an unusual experience. It was in 2018 and Grennan had given up his job to begin a year’s long around-the-world trip. His first three months were spent in Nepal.

When he arrived in the village, he knew nothing about the children or the local culture. When he opened the gate of the Little Princes Children’s Home, he was faced by the excited children.

The young American ended up caring for 18 children. He later discovered that they were trafficked (被拐卖的) children. So he walked through the mountains with great difficulty to find the kids’ families. “I started walking with photos of the kids,” he told the Reuter’s reporter. “I would show up in villages and show photographs around. I went with 24 photos, and I found 24 families.”

At the same time, he put his heart into Nepalese culture.

Grennan said, “Volunteering is the single best way to see how the rest of the world lives.”

He also encouraged others to do what he had done. He believes that volunteering needs only making decisions to show up.

Grennan’s fight against child-trafficking has changed him. His book, Little Prince, came out last week.

【1】At first, Grennan simply wanted to _________ by volunteering in Nepal.

A．write travel stories

B．learn the skills

C．help the kids there

D．impress people

【2】When Grennan came to the Little Prince Children’s Home, _________ .

A．18 children were ill in bed

B．the children there felt excited

C．he decided to give up his job

D．he’d lived in Nepal for a year

【3】From the passage we can learn that Grennan _________ .

A．found the kids’ families easily

B．was good at taking pictures

C．wrote the book Little Prince

D．asked others to go to Nepal

【4】Which is the best title for the passage?

A．Volunteering changes a lot

B．Volunteering is with the kids

C．A volunteer becomes a writer

D．A volunteer travels in Nepal

22、   AII living things on the Earth need water to live. Yet humans are facing serious water problems. According to the United Nations, today over 663 million people live without a safe water supply close to home.

To remind people of the importance of water, the UN first set up World Water Day in 1993. It is on March 22 each year. From March 22 to 28 is also the China Water Week. The first year’s theme is “Waste water”. It tried to call on people to reuse waste water instead of wasting it.

In Australia people make good use of waste water. Most Australians have a grass lawn around their home instead of washing the car in the street. Many of them wash it on the lawn to keep the grass longer so that it covers the ground and reduce evaporation(蒸发).

Rainwater may seem useless to you. But you can also reuse it. People in Germany collect rainwater to wash their toilets. Most houses in the country that are built in the last few years have rainwater collection devices (设备). Rainwater is collected from the root, and then linked to the toilet. But if you don’t have the device just put a bucket(桶) under your roof when it rains.

Water makes up 71 percent of the. Earth’s surface. But we can only use a very small part of it. Only about 3 percent of the world’s. water is fresh water. It’s in lakes, rivers and underground.

Over 80 percent of the waste water in the world goes back into the nature. It has not been cleaned and pollutes the rivers and lakes. Unsafe water makes around 842 ,000 people die each year.

By 2030, about half of the world’s population could be facing water problem. By 2050, as many as seven billion people across the world could not have enough water supplies. The world’s population might be 9. 3 billion by then.

【1】From Paragraph 1, we can learn that ________ .

A．people around the world are facing serious water problems

B．water is always the most important in our school lives

C．saving water can help us better improve the environment

D．people in different places have different habits to use water

【2】The first year’s aim of the China Water Week was to________ .

A．collect rainwater to wash their toilets

B．remind people of the importance of water.

C．put a bucket under your roof when it rains

D．call on people to reuse waste water instead of wasting it

【3】The word“reduce”in Paragraph 3 most probably means “________”.

A．sit down

24、Would you like to have a brother or a sister? Years ago this might have sounded impossible to many. But since several years ago, with the end of China’s “one-child policy(政策)”, this could actually happen now. All Chinese couples are allowed to have two children. It means that many Chinese children may have siblings(兄弟姐妹) in the future.

What would it be like growing up with a brother or a sister? Having a sibling can stop children from bad feelings, according to Laura Padilla-Walker, a teacher from Brigham Young University, US. “Siblings give children something that parents can’t,” she said. You may not feel lonely at home any more because there is someone to play with you. You can also share secrets with him or her.

“But children with siblings also have to learn to control(控制) their feelings,” said Padilla-Walker. You need to share things with them, such as attention from parents, toys, the bathroom and the TV. There are also unpleasant situations such as competition, name-calling and even hair-pulling.

Even the birth order of siblings could matter too. US psychologist Kevin Leman said that birth order decides the way parents treat their children, thus causing different personalities between siblings.

Leman explained that parents are usually more strict with their first child. So firstborns may be perfect because parents set high goals(目标) for them. They usually act well and hope to succeed. When the couple has a second child, they have fewer rules. So late-born children are usually more creative. They also love attention. It is said that many of them also have a good sense of humor.

【1】The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refers to(指) ______.

A．one-child policy

B．having a brother or a sister

C．the end of “one-child policy”

D．being allowed to have two children

A．the advantages of having a sibling

B．how to look after a sibling

D．the secrets of having a sibling

【3】According to Kevin Leman, ______.

A．late-born children are usually successful at school

B．having a sibling can stop children from bad feelings

C．parents are usually more strict with their first-born child

D．children with siblings have to learn to control their feelings

【4】Which of the following best shows the structure(结构) of the passage?

25、阅读下面短文，根据语境、音标或单词的提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的单询，要求所填的词意义准确、形式正确，使短文意思完整、行文连贯。

A man got lost in a desert (沙漠). He walked for two days,  【1】he still couldn’t find his way out. Dying for water, he found  an  【2】[ˈemptɪ] house in the desert. There was a water pump (水泵) in the house.
