After a long winter, spring is the ideal time for sightseeing and exploring London’s green spaces.

Explore London’s parks and gardens

Springtime is one of the perfect times of year to explore London’s parks and gardens, when the city’s Royal Parks will be blooming with flowers. Go and admire the rainbow of azaleas(杜鹃花)at Richmond Park or hire a deckchair in St James’s Park with a view of Buckingham Palace.

Surviving Hurricane Sandy(飓风桑迪)

Susan,16, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Susan can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.

On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Susan’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridges closed.

When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Susan’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Susan’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.

In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway rebuild inspired Susan. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors spent their spare time helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to take water and food to elderly people trapped(困住) in powerless high-rise buildings.

“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Sus an says, “but I can always choose how I deal with it.”

Susan’s choice was to help.

She created a website page，matching survivors in need with donors(捐赠者)who wanted to help. Susan posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.

In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Susan also worked with other organizations to bring much needed supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.

Today, the scars(创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Susan says. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.”

59. When Susan returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found .

A. some friends had lost their lives

B. her neighborhood was destroyed

C. her school had moved to Brooklyn

D. the elderly were free from suffering

60. According to Paragraph 4, who inspired Susan most?

A. The volunteers donating money to survivors.

B. The people trapped in high-rise buildings.

C. The people helping Rockaway rebuild.

D. Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people.

61. How did Susan help the survivors?

A. She gave her toys to other kids.

B. She took care of younger children.

C. She asked the White House for help.

D. She built an information sharing platform.

62. What does the story intend to tell us?

A. Little people can make a big difference.

B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

C. East or west, home is best.

D. Technology is power.

C

Going green seems to be a fad(时尚)for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can’t really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.

On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.

With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.

Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyles. We now shop at organic(有机的)stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatl y reduced our buying we don’t need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.

Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.

63.What might be the best title for the passage?

A. Going Green

B. Protecting the Planet

C. Keeping Open-Minded

D. Celebrating Our Green Year

64. It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because .

A. they were expected to follow the green fad

B. they didn’t know how to educate other people

C. they were unwilling to reduce their energy

D. they needed to perform unusual green tasks

65. What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year?

A. They chose better chemical cleaners.

B. They ignored others’ ungreen behavior.

C. They tried to get out of their ungreen habits.

D. They sold their home-made food.

66. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. The government will give support to the green project.

B. The couple may continue their project in the future.

C. Some people disagree with the couple’s green ideas.

D. Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.

D

I set out to change the lives of those who need help by joining my school’s newly f ormed Free The Children Club. Through the determination of friends, the group has grown bigger and stronger each year. Over the past two years my friend, Alex Auclair, and I have become the leaders of the club.

Already, after only two years of fundraising(筹款), we have raised over three thousand dollars and almost two thousand food items through various fundraising efforts. For example, each year a 24-hour famine(饥饿)is planned resulting in completely no consumption(消耗) of food. By taking part in these activities, we put ourselves in the shoes of someone living in poverty.

No money raised goes to waste. At the end of each school year, the group takes a vote to determine where our funds will be spent and donated (捐赠). Last year, we bought enough desks, chairs, supplies and textbooks for every student in a Kenyan school. This year, we plan to spend our earning helping out families in Sierra Leone.

Poverty is a worldwide issue affecting the lives of people in not only developing countries, but also first-world countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Japan. Living in poverty can result in hunger, many forms of disease, lack of education, and for millions, death. It dose not have to be this way. You too can form a club like the Free The Children Club or you can participate in events outside of school. Get your friends, family, even your community involved in fundraising. Do what you can to change the world.

67. An annual 24-hour famine is held to _____.

A. help understand poor people better

B. draw pe ople’s attention to the club

C. call on people not to waste food

D. save food for hungry people

68. How to spend the raised money is based on the opinion of _____.

A. the donators

B. the fundraisers

C. the most of the club members

D. the club leaders

69. Poverty can result in some problems except_____.

A. death

B. disease

C. hunger

D. wealth

70. Why does the author write the text?

A. To introduce the Free The Children Club.

B. To encourage people to change the world.

C. To present the serious outcomes of poverty.

D. To show how to help poor people live better.
