The job of raising children is a tough one. Children don't come with an instruction manual(说明

To Americans，the goal of parents is to help children 5 on their own feet. From 6 ，each child may
get his or her own room. As children grow，they get more 7 to make their own choices. 8 choose their

The relationship between parents and children in America is very informal. American
parents 15 their children as individuals—not as extensions of themselves. They 16 them to achieve

Josh Morrison，17，dreamed of raising $$100，000 to build a home for a low-income family. After years
of hard work，his dream has come true. The house is now in the early stages of building.
Six years ago，Josh and his dad went into a Habitat for Humanity Restore，a home improvement store
and donation center run by the nonprofit organization. They were there to buy a sink. Josh, then 11，also
noticed a collection of pennies.“I instantly felt the urge to help out with that，”he said. Josh set a
fundraising(筹款) deadline of four years. Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of $$100，
000，but it didn't shake his faith. He raised money at his school and other nearby schools. He collected
money from neighbors, got publicity from local newspapers，and placed cans in stores so that people could
donate extra change.
Josh's fundraising efforts began to produce results. Still, there were challenges. Four months before his
deadline，he was $$30，000 short. He decided to hold a Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner in Uxbridge，
which is in the province of Ontario. The event raised $$19，000.
“I didn't care how long it took me，”Josh said.“I would raise $$100，000.”With three weeks left，a
company called Josh's house，offering to donate $$18，ally，Josh reached a total of $$124，000
before his deadline.“The momentum just kept going，and we decided to do more，”he said.“Josh's Penny
House” is being built by Habitat for Humanity in the city of Oshawa，along with 24 new townhouses. Josh
has helped with some of the construction，as have other volunteers. He will choose the family that moves
into the unit.
Next year，the 17-year-old will head to college in British Columbia，Canada's westernmost province.
As a 11-year-old kid when starting fundraising，Josh was able to send a powerful message across the world.
No matter how old you are，if you have a dream and are willing to do anything to achieve it，it can come
true.
1．Which word can best describe Josh Morrison in Paragraph 2?
A．Straightforward. B．Openminded. C．Determined. D．Cautious.
2．Why was the Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner event in Uxbridge held?
A．To call for more attention. B．To attain his goal.
C．To win approval from the locals. D．To find sponsors for a family.
3．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?

10.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了张家界的一些景色秀美、风光独特的风景名胜区。
1．of 考查介词。张家界由永定区、慈利县和桑植县组成。of在此用于表示性质、组成或涵盖，< br>意为“由……组成”。

2．was named 考查动词时态和语态。由定语从句的时间状语in 1992可知，定语从句应使用一
般过去时；关系代词which指代先行词Wulingyuan Scenic Area，与name之间为被动关系，故应用
被动语态。所以填was named。
3．combination 考查名词。由前面的形容词creative和后面的of可知，此处应用combine的名
词形式。
4．made 考查非谓语动词。根据固定短语be made up of“由……组成”可知，此处要用过去分词
作后置定语，修饰The Wulingyuan Scenic and Historic Interest Area。
5．a 考查冠词。destination为可数名词，且在此表示泛指，故填a。
6．their 考查代词。由后面的“underground cataract (急流)”可知，此处应用形容词性物主代词修
饰名词。
7．featuring 考查非谓语动词。feature与其逻辑主语之间为主动关系，故此处用现在分词短语
作状语。
8．which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处指代先行词12 state-level tourist areas，且在
定语从句中作介词of的宾语，故填which。
9．increasingly 考查副词。此处应用副词修饰形容词popular, increasingly表示“越来越多地，日
益增加地”。
10．has been improving 考查动词时态。由于张家界长久以来不断地改善它的交通和服务，这
个城市现在每 天可以接待36,200名游客。根据时间状语for long可知，此处应用现在完成进行时表
示过去开始的动作持续到现在并将继续下去。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。一个11岁的少年因一次偶然的经历决定为低收入家庭募捐
建房，经过数年的不懈努力，实现了这一梦想。
1.C [考查推理判断。结合文中对Josh Morrison筹款过程的描述以及第二段中的Many people
doubted whether he could reach his goal of $$100, 000, but it didn't shake his faith.可知，尽管很多人怀疑
他是不是能在四年中完 成这件事，但是他信念坚定。由此可见他是“意志坚定的”。]
2.B [考查细节理解。根据第二段中的his goal of $$100, 000和第三段的内容可知，在截止日期前
的四个月，离他的筹款目标还差30, 000美元，于是他决定举办这个活动来达到目标。]
3.B [考查句意理解。根据下文中的we decided to do more以及后面的句子“John's Penny
house...24 new townhouses.”可知，捐款势头一直保持下去，他收到了比 最初目标多的钱，于是打算做
更多，他帮助建造Josh's Penny House以及24所新住宅来帮助需要的人，所以画线处应意为“他继续
收到捐款”。]
4.D [考查标题判断。文章主要讲述了一个11岁的少年经过几年不懈的努力，实现为低收入家庭募捐建房的梦想的经历。本文提到的Josh's Penny House是解题的暗示。钱是Josh一分分筹来的，
因此本文最佳标题是D。]
