阅读理解

    Chris is not a traditional explorer(探险者)- he usually works in an office for a large organization. Yet his job can sometimes be just as exciting and dangerous as being an explorer. Chris works for MSF, an organization also known as Doctors Without Borders (无国界医生). MSF sends trained doctors all over the world to help people after a war or a disaster. Chris is a doctor from France who has travelled to many places to organize programmes that help people.

    At the moment, there are over 27,000 trained medical staff(工作人员) taking part in MSF projects and tasks. The organization received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999. All kinds of doctors can join in MSF. They need to be prepared to go almost anywhere in the world and, of course, they should expect difficult conditions. Doctors with experience in tropical(热带的)diseases are especially useful because most of MSF's work is in Africa. When MSF accepts a doctor for a task, he has to go for at least six months.

    But why would a doctor leave a comfortable life and a good salary to join MSF? According to Chris, the experience is a great help in your career(生涯). At the end of each task, you help people in need and have made a real difference to people's lives.

 阅读下列材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Haili Smith, 16, says she and her sister, Brooke, "have very different tastes in books." Haili likes horror stories. Brooke, 13, prefers fantasy. What they share is the belief that kids are more likely to read if they are connected with a book's characters. That's why, in 2020, they started Books Like Me. The nonprofit group donates (捐赠) culturally different children's books to schools.

"We didn't really like reading a few years ago", Haili told TIME for Kids. "[Then] we started to look for books that had characters we saw ourselves in. It made us want to read more. We thought we could share that with students, because we knew that this wasn't something that changed us only."

Haili and Brooke started with an Amazon Wish List of books they liked. They shared the list on social media, asking for donations of these titles. Soon, they began receiving boxes of new books to give away to schools. As word about their organization has spread, requests have come in from schools nationwide. So far, Haili and Brooke have given away more than 16, 000 books.

Anitra Carter teaches fourth grade at a primary school in Florida. She says donations from Books Like Me have gotten her students more interested in reading. "It excites them when seeing a character that may represent (代表;象征) them or look similar to them," Carter says.

Over the years, Haili and Brooke have been invited to speak with educators about the importance of culturally diverse books. They've also taken books directly to students. At a book fair in Florida, "I was at a table showing kids the books and they were picking them out," Haili recalls. "They all looked so happy when they found a book that really resonated (共鸣) with them."

That, of course, is the goal. "I hope, and I think," Haili says, "that all kids should ____ so that they enjoy reading."

 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,从 1~ 15 各题所给的 A、B 、C 和 D 项中,选出最佳选项。

Silent and calm, 25-year-old Linda looks out of the window. She is smiling now, but she was unhappy for 1 long time. Today, she is the writer of a best-seller. And he is also one of 2 artists. She shares her experience in her book. 

Linda did not speak 3 she was two and a half years old. And she has autism(自闭症)and difficulty in talking with 4 . She never played with other kids, instead she just sat 5 and watched them. 

Growing up, her classmates bullied(欺凌) her. Some kids even stole 6 snacks. She tried changing schools,  7 her new classmates still didn't like her. The bullying went on. She 8 had trouble with study. But she didn't let them stop her. With the 9 of her parents, Linda could go to hospital to see doctors. 

   At last, doctors said that Linda 10 never succeed or finish her studies. But Linda's mother didn't give up on her daughter. Because she thought that 11 is impossible if she tried her best. So she made Linda know 12 interesting it is to paint beautiful paintings. When Linda was 13 , she went to art college to study painting. And later the local volunteers 14 her to join them. So she could tell her story to people. Now she is not sad any more. At the age of 25, Linda is able to sell her books and 15 of her paintings to help herself and her family. Linda's story is not only influencing others, but also changing their lives.
