18.(12.5分)I fell in love with the Little Free Library concept years ago on vacation. The concept of free literature﹣sharing boxes posted in neighborhoods and public spaces hooked me. For a booklover,this represented bliss(快乐). At home, my bedside table sprouts (长出)books and from the floor rises a mountainous to﹣be﹣read pile. My husband wasn't the least bit surprised when I suggested starting our own Little Free Library. As a writer and introvert(内向的人), I welcomed the idea of saying hello to other booklovers on occasion.
The following winter, my husband built a copy of our Irish garden shed (棚屋)with a framed glass door on the front and, in the spring, mounted (安装)it on a post in front of our house. We filled the shelves with books, and since then, visitors have refilled them with literary fiction, romances, mysteries, science fiction, cowboy westerns, young﹣adult fiction, poetry, how﹣to's, self﹣help and a range of other nonfiction.
For a time after COVID﹣19 first struck, public libraries shut down, and Amazon prioritized the delivery of essential and high﹣demand items. Books were less easily attained. Traffic to our library increased. I posted reminders about hand washing, and still, readers kept coming.
We wondered if we should close the Little Free Library and revisited (再次讨论)our original motivations for hosting it: to facilitate the exchange of books, to create a sense of community. Reading provides the necessary relief to the emotional crush (压力)of life. With this in mind, we added a written reminder on staying safe in the library.
Through my teens, reading transported me to other places and eras. Books taught me about life and how people overcame adversity (逆境), I no longer felt alone in the things I struggled against.
Aside from the entertainment books offer, studies show that reading exposes us to other cultures and perspectives. Literature sheds light on the justice to be found in social inclusion and community cohesion (凝聚).Self﹣esteem and understanding grow in equal measure as we come to understand ourselves and our place in the world.
第7页(共41页)
During this pandemic, the Little Free Library has reinforced the importance of literature and reading to our emotional and mental health. It's become an alternate means of creating a community of people with mutual regard for humanity and the written word. We are together even when apart.
(1)What attracted the author to host the Little Free Library? A. The emotional crush of life. B. The free literature﹣sharing concept. C. The sense of self﹣esteem and social justice. D. The importance of exchanging books with each other.
(2)What is the husband's attitude toward building the Little Free . A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.
(3)What happened to the author's Little Free Library during the pandemic? A. It was not allowed to be used. B. The number of books' dropped sharply. C. It was getting more popular than before. D.

19.(15分)Researchers studying animal behaviour have recently started noticing something unusual. Some animals were observed to be eating plants that are not part of their normal diet and have no nutritional value. They ate these plants at only some times of the year while other animals in the group did not eat the same plants. What can account for this odd behaviour? The researchers believe that these animals are giving themselves medicine. These plants can make the animals feel better, kill parasites (寄生虫)or aid in digestion. Many different animals have been observed acting in this way. Some chimps in a nature reserve in Tanzania had parasites which caused them stomach upsets. They were seen chewing and swallowing the leaves containing special medicines. These leaves were rough with sharp spikes sticking out. Scientists think that these rough leaves were eaten to clean out the insides of the chimps' stomachs so that the parasites would be killed.
Other examples of animals self﹣medicating include lizards which respond to the bite of a venomous (有毒的)snake by eating a special root that can counter(对抗)the poison, and macaw birds(金刚鹦鹉)that eat clay to aid in digestion and kill bacteria. Pregnant elephants have been known to eat the leaves of some trees as a way of speeding up the delivery of their babies.
How did animals learn this behaviour? The most obvious answer is that animals learnt by experience. For example, a gorilla once felt ill, ate some leaves and then felt better the next day. It remembered this and passed on this information to the rest of the group and its children. But what about creatures that are less intelligent? Scientists studying the monarch butterfly (黑脉金斑蝶)noticed that some healthy butterflies laid eggs on the milkweed plant which has anti﹣parasite properties. These eggs produced strong healthy butterflies compared to the ones hatched on plants that do not have such medicinal benefits. Over time the weaker butterflies produced fewer eggs and the healthy butterflies thrived(茁壮成长).This is an example of natural selection.
If we can learn from animals' using plants to heal and protect themselves naturally, we too might gain medicinal benefits.
(1)In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to A. bring up a topic
第9页(共41页)
B. reach a conclusion C. make a comparison D. propose a definition
(2)What can we learn from the passage?
A. Chimps sometimes eat special leaves to ease stomach problems. B. Macaw birds are the only birds that use plants to kill bacteria. C. Lizards eat special roots to speed up the laying eggs. D. Pregnant elephants use leaves to aid in digestion. (3)A gorilla learnt the self﹣medicating . A. by avoiding hunters B. by making imitations C. by gaining experience D. by countering the poison
(4)According to Paragraph 4, we know the monarch butterfly seemed likely to . A. use an anti﹣parasite liquid to protect the eggs B. lay eggs on the milkweed plants to avoid the snake C. produce strong healthy eggs on the clay in Tanzania D. have healthy kids by laying eggs on the milkweed plants (5)What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. We may get benefits from the study of animals' self﹣medication. B. We should make use of the study to protect the environment. C. The study of animals' self﹣medication is not important. D. Animals' self﹣medication has set an example for us. (6)From which is the passage probably taken? A. A medical journal. B. A newspaper report. C. A children's storybook. D. A popular science magazine.
20.(10分)\"If at first you don't succeed, try and try again.\" It's a sentence that we have all heard many, many times, and it might even seem old﹣fashioned and cliched (老生常谈) to you.
第10页(共41页)
But this sentence essentially symbolizes the virtue of perseverance ﹣﹣never giving up. It's a common phrase coming from the mouths of parents, teachers and coaches. Why? It is because we have the tendency to give up trying after numerous attempts resulting in failure. Achieving the seemingly impossible is always tough but we should keep in mind that every step we take is a step closer to maturity and success. In the process of striving to achieve, we reflect, learn and gain self﹣understanding, the sense of pride and accomplishment of having completed our tasks. Never give up, try and try again.
Here is a model demonstrating the virtue of perseverance. Thomas Edison,the great inventor of the bulb, carried out literally thousands of experiments to find out which type of material was suitable for making the filament (灯丝)of a light bulb. Thousands of different materials were tested. There were thousands of consecutive (连续不断的)failures, but Edison refused to give up. At last he succeeded, and created one of the most important inventions in history. Had he given up, we would still be living in darkness.
I also have personal experience of the importance of perseverance. When I was in Grade 6 of primary school, I joined a course that required a lot of physical endurance and ability. As J was not an athletic person then, I thought it was a big challenge and that I'd never complete all of the tasks. I just wanted to give up trying, but I told myself to persevere. Somewhat miraculously, I completed the entire course. I knew that I wasn't as weak as I had thought, and that sense of jubilation (欢乐)is utterly invaluable.
Never give up. Life is like tossing a coin ﹣﹣﹣you either get heads,or tails. There is equal chance of getting either side of it. Even if you toss tails for 99 times, there is still a chance of getting heads for the 100th time. The important thing is to try.
Would you give up if you failed an examination twice?Would you give up after losing your future? Would you give up if you felt like life had lost alt its meaning? If you answer no to those questions, congratulations. Life is not hopeless, and with enough perseverance and determination, you will succeed. Continue tossing the coin of life, and never give up.
(1)Why does \"never give up\" become a common phrase for many people? A. Because it is a famous saying that symbolizes perseverance and hope.
第11页(共41页)
B. Because it is hardly possible for people to realize their dreams in daily life. C. Because people tend to give up after trying repeatedly and experiencing failure. D. Because people seldom reflect themselves in the face of failures and difficulties. (2)Why does the author mention Thomas Edison in Paragraph 4? A. To show the value of Thomas Edison's invention. B. To introduce the life experience of Thomas Edison. C. To back up his point with the story of Thomas Edison. D. To call on others to set Thomas Edison as a role model.
(3)What do we know about the author according to Paragraph 5? A. The author finally gave up when there was a challenge. B. When the author faced a challenge, he carried on trying. C. When the author was young, he was good at doing sports. D. The author used to take on more tasks than he could handle. (4)What message does the text convey? A. Ups and downs make one strong. B. Perseverance requires enthusiasm. C. A strong﹣willed soul can reach his goal. D. Experience helps to promote excellence.

21.(10分)Skateboarding has been my life since I was 8 years old. Before I knew how to stand up, I would sit on my cousin's old board and roll down the hills of Cáceres, my hometown in Spain.
When I was at university, I heard about Skate﹣Aid an organization that builds skate parks for children in disadvantaged communities. I've always wanted to make a positive impact on the world, and if there were a way to do that through skateboarding, I would be there. I got a call in early 2019 that the next project would be in Syria. I was anxious. We flew to Lebanon arid drove from Beirut to Damascus. We stopped at checkpoints every few minutes.

We were building a skate park in an area that had been largely destroyed, except for a small structure where a family of five was living. They'd fled their home in die north. The mother was so welcoming, bringing us tea and coffee every morning.
It took 28 days to build the park. We would get up early and spend all day working. This was going to be Syria's first skate park, and many people wanted to help.
The kids would watch us skating down the street and were so excite. When we finished the bowl(碗状滑板场),I put kids on a board one by one,and they were amazed by the feeling of rolling along. One boy was a natural.He had never skated before, but within a week he was already skating well.
We stayed for two months. I keep in touch with the kids, and they send me videos of the tricks they've learned. When we left, there were 400 children going to the park every day. I've been to so many countries,but Syria was special. I'll go back as soon as I can.

18.(12.5分)I fell in love with the Little Free Library concept years ago on vacation. The concept of free literature﹣sharing boxes posted in neighborhoods and public spaces hooked me. For a booklover,this represented bliss(快乐). At home, my bedside table sprouts (长出)books and from the floor rises a mountainous to﹣be﹣read pile. My husband wasn't the least bit surprised when I suggested starting our own Little Free Library. As a writer and introvert(内向的人), I welcomed the idea of saying hello to other booklovers on occasion.
The following winter, my husband built a copy of our Irish garden shed (棚屋)with a framed glass door on the front and, in the spring, mounted (安装)it on a post in front of our house. We filled the shelves with books, and since then, visitors have refilled them with literary fiction, romances, mysteries, science fiction, cowboy westerns, young﹣adult fiction, poetry, how﹣to's, self﹣help and a range of other nonfiction.
For a time after COVID﹣19 first struck, public libraries shut down, and Amazon prioritized the delivery of essential and high﹣demand items. Books were less easily attained.
第28页(共41页)
Traffic to our library increased. I posted reminders about hand washing, and still, readers kept coming.
We wondered if we should close the Little Free Library and revisited (再次讨论)our original motivations for hosting it: to facilitate the exchange of books, to create a sense of community. Reading provides the necessary relief to the emotional crush (压力)of life. With this in mind, we added a written reminder on staying safe in the library.
Through my teens, reading transported me to other places and eras. Books taught me about life and how people overcame adversity (逆境), I no longer felt alone in the things I struggled against.
Aside from the entertainment books offer, studies show that reading exposes us to other cultures and perspectives. Literature sheds light on the justice to be found in social inclusion and community cohesion (凝聚).Self﹣esteem and understanding grow in equal measure as we come to understand ourselves and our place in the world.
During this pandemic, the Little Free Library has reinforced the importance of literature and reading to our emotional and mental health. It's become an alternate means of creating a community of people with mutual regard for humanity and the written word. We are together even when apart.
(1)What attracted the author to host the Little Free Library? A. The emotional crush of life. B. The free literature﹣sharing concept. C. The sense of self﹣esteem and social justice. D. The importance of exchanging books with each other.
(2)What is the husband's attitude toward building the Little Free . A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.
(3)What happened to the author's Little Free Library during the pandemic? C A. It was not allowed to be used.
第29页(共41页)
B. The number of books' dropped sharply. C. It was getting more popular than before. D. Readers questioned the motivations for hosting it. (4)What can we learn from Paragraph 5? A A. How reading shaped the author's growth. B. How we facilitated the exchange of books. C. How the Little Free Library further developed. D. How literature played a role in community building.
(5)What is the benefit of the Little Free Library during the pandemic? D A. It has offered solutions to the pandemic. B. It has relieved the pressure of public libraries. C. It has exposed readers to foreign perspectives. D. It has helped create a united and cohesive community.

19.(15分)Researchers studying animal behaviour have recently started noticing something unusual. Some animals were observed to be eating plants that are not part of their normal diet and have no nutritional value. They ate these plants at only some times of the year while other animals in the group did not eat the same plants. What can account for this odd behaviour? The researchers believe that these animals are giving themselves medicine. These plants can make the animals feel better, kill parasites (寄生虫)or aid in digestion. Many different animals have been observed acting in this way. Some chimps in a nature reserve in Tanzania had parasites which caused them stomach upsets. They were seen chewing and swallowing the leaves containing special medicines. These leaves were rough with sharp spikes sticking out. Scientists think that these rough leaves were eaten to clean out the insides of the chimps' stomachs so that the parasites would be killed.
Other examples of animals self﹣medicating include lizards which respond to the bite of a venomous (有毒的)snake by eating a special root that can counter(对抗)the poison, and
第31页(共41页)
macaw birds(金刚鹦鹉)that eat clay to aid in digestion and kill bacteria. Pregnant elephants have been known to eat the leaves of some trees as a way of speeding up the delivery of their babies.
How did animals learn this behaviour? The most obvious answer is that animals learnt by experience. For example, a gorilla once felt ill, ate some leaves and then felt better the next day. It remembered this and passed on this information to the rest of the group and its children. But what about creatures that are less intelligent? Scientists studying the monarch butterfly (黑脉金斑蝶)noticed that some healthy butterflies laid eggs on the milkweed plant which has anti﹣parasite properties. These eggs produced strong healthy butterflies compared to the ones hatched on plants that do not have such medicinal benefits. Over time the weaker butterflies produced fewer eggs and the healthy butterflies thrived(茁壮成长).This is an example of natural selection.
If we can learn from animals' using plants to heal and protect themselves naturally, we too might gain medicinal benefits.
(1)In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to A A. bring up a topic B. reach a conclusion C. make a comparison D. propose a definition
(2)What can we learn from the passage? A
A. Chimps sometimes eat special leaves to ease stomach problems. B. Macaw birds are the only birds that use plants to kill bacteria. C. Lizards eat special roots to speed up the laying eggs. D. Pregnant elephants use leaves to aid in digestion. (3)A gorilla learnt the self﹣medicating C . A. by avoiding hunters B. by making imitations C. by gaining experience D. by countering the poison

A. use an anti﹣parasite liquid to protect the eggs B. lay eggs on the milkweed plants to avoid the snake C. produce strong healthy eggs on the clay in Tanzania D. have healthy kids by laying eggs on the milkweed plants (5)What can we infer from the last paragraph? A
A. We may get benefits from the study of animals' self﹣medication. B. We should make use of the study to protect the environment. C. The study of animals' self﹣medication is not important. D. Animals' self﹣medication has set an example for us. (6)From which is the passage probably taken? D A. A medical journal. B. A newspaper report. C. A children's storybook. D.

(4)D. 推理判断题。根据第四段\" Scientists studying the monarch butterfly (黑脉金斑蝶)noticed that some healthy butterflies laid eggs on the milkweed plant which has anti﹣parasite properties. These eggs produced strong healthy butterflies compared to the ones hatched on plants that do not have such medicinal benefits. Over time the weaker butterflies produced fewer eggs and the healthy butterflies thrived(茁壮成长).This is an example of natural selection.研究帝王蝶的科学家们注意到一些健康的蝴蝶在马利筋植物上产卵,这种植物具有抗寄生虫的特性。与那些在没有这种药用价值的植物上孵化出来的蝴蝶相比,这些卵能培育出强壮健康的蝴蝶。随着时间的推移,较弱的蝴蝶产卵量减少,健康的蝴蝶繁衍生息。这是自然选择的一个例子。\"可知根据第4段,我们知道帝王蝶似乎可以通过在马利筋植物上产卵来生下健康的孩子。故选D.
(5)A. 推理判断题。根据最后一段\" If we can learn from animals' using plants to heal and protect themselves naturally, we too might gain medicinal benefits.如果我们能学习动物利用植物自然地治愈和保护自己,我们也可能获得医学上的好处。\"可知从最后一段我们能推断出我们可以从动物自我治疗的研究中获益。故选A.
(6)D. 文章出处题。阅读全文以及根据第一段\"Researchers studying animal behaviour have recently started noticing something unusual. Some animals were observed to be eating plants that are not part of their normal diet and have no nutritional value. They ate these plants at only some times of the year while other animals in the group did not eat the same plants. What can account for this odd behaviour?研究动物行为的研究人员最近开始注意到一些不寻常的东西。一些动物被观察到吃植物,这些植物不是它们正常饮食的一部分,并且没有营养价值。它们只在一年中的某些时候吃这些植物,而其他动物则不吃这些植物。这种奇怪的行为有什么原因\"。可知这是一篇科学方方面的文章,所以会出现在科学杂志上。故选D.

20.(10分)\"If at first you don't succeed, try and try again.\" It's a sentence that we have all heard many, many times, and it might even seem old﹣fashioned and cliched (老生常谈) to you. But this sentence essentially symbolizes the virtue of perseverance ﹣﹣never giving up. It's a common phrase coming from the mouths of parents, teachers and coaches. Why? It is because we have the tendency to give up trying after numerous attempts resulting in failure. Achieving the seemingly impossible is always tough but we should keep in mind that every step we take is a step closer to maturity and success. In the process of striving to achieve, we reflect, learn and gain self﹣understanding, the sense of pride and accomplishment of having completed our tasks. Never give up, try and try again.
Here is a model demonstrating the virtue of perseverance. Thomas Edison,the great inventor of the bulb, carried out literally thousands of experiments to find out which type of material was suitable for making the filament (灯丝)of a light bulb. Thousands of different materials were tested. There were thousands of consecutive (连续不断的)failures, but Edison refused to give up. At last he succeeded, and created one of the most important inventions in history. Had he given up, we would still be living in darkness.
I also have personal experience of the importance of perseverance. When I was in Grade 6 of primary school, I joined a course that required a lot of physical endurance and ability. As J was not an athletic person then, I thought it was a big challenge and that I'd never complete all of the tasks. I just wanted to give up trying, but I told myself to persevere. Somewhat miraculously, I completed the entire course. I knew that I wasn't as weak as I had thought,

and that sense of jubilation (欢乐)is utterly invaluable.
Never give up. Life is like tossing a coin ﹣﹣﹣you either get heads,or tails. There is equal chance of getting either side of it. Even if you toss tails for 99 times, there is still a chance of getting heads for the 100th time. The important thing is to try.
Would you give up if you failed an examination twice?Would you give up after losing your future? Would you give up if you felt like life had lost alt its meaning? If you answer no to those questions, congratulations. Life is not hopeless, and with enough perseverance and determination, you will succeed. Continue tossing the coin of life, and never give up.
(1)Why does \"never give up\" become a common phrase for many people? C A. Because it is a famous saying that symbolizes perseverance and hope. B. Because it is hardly possible for people to realize their dreams in daily life. C. Because people tend to give up after trying repeatedly and experiencing failure. D. Because people seldom reflect themselves in the face of failures and difficulties. (2)Why does the author mention Thomas Edison in Paragraph 4? C A. To show the value of Thomas Edison's invention. B. To introduce the life experience of Thomas Edison. C. To back up his point with the story of Thomas Edison. D. To call on others to set Thomas Edison as a role model.
(3)What do we know about the author according to Paragraph 5? A. The author finally gave up when there was a challenge. B. When the author faced a challenge, he carried on trying. C. When the author was young, he was good at doing sports. D. The author used to take on more tasks than he could handle. (4)What message does the text convey? C A. Ups and downs make one strong. B. Perseverance requires enthusiasm. C. A strong﹣willed soul can reach his goal. D. Experience helps to promote excellence.

时候不轻言放弃的经历,阐述了\"永不放弃\"的重要意义。
【解答】(1)C.细节理解题。根据第二段第一句It's a common phrase coming from the mouths of parents, teachers and coaches. Why? It is because we have the tendency to give up trying after numerous attempts resulting in failure.(这是一个来自父母、老师和教练口中的常用短语。为什么?这是因为我们有一种倾向,在无数次失败的尝试后,我们会放弃尝试。)可知,我们经历多次失败的尝试后倾向于放弃尝试,这是父母、老师、教练常把这个短语挂在嘴边的原因,故选C.
(2)C.推理判断题。根据第四段首句Here is a model demonstrating the virtue of perseverance.(这是一个展示毅力美德的模型。)接下来作者介绍了托马斯•爱迪生为了寻找适合的灯丝进行了成千上万次的实验,尽管经历了数千次的失败,但是爱迪生都没有放弃,最终取得了成功。由此可知,作者在这里是借用托马斯•爱迪生的故事来证明自己的观点,C.项To back up his point with the story of Thomas Edison.(用爱迪生的故事来支持他的观点。)符合题意,故选C.
(3)B.推理判断题。根据第五段首句 I also have personal experience of the importance of perseverance. (我也亲身体会过毅力的重要性。)和接下来的内容:When I was in Grade 6 of primary school, I joined a course that required a lot of physical endurance and ability. (小学六年级的时候,我参加了一门需要很多身体耐力和能力的课程。); I just wanted to give up trying, but I told myself to persevere. Somewhat miraculously, I completed the entire course. (我只想放弃尝试,但我告诉自己要坚持。有点神奇的是,我完成了整个课程。)可知,当面对挑战时,作者觉得无法完成任务,但却告诉自己要坚持下去,故选B. (4)C.主旨大意题。文章第一段\"If at first you don't succeed, try and try again.\" But this sentence essentially symbolizes the virtue of perseverance ﹣﹣never giving up.(\"如果一开始你没有成功,试一试,再试一次。\"但这句话本质上象征着坚持不懈的美德﹣﹣﹣﹣永不放弃。)点明主旨即:永不放弃。接下来的第三段: Never give up, try and try again;第六段: Never give up;以及最后一段:Life is not hopeless, and with enough perseverance and determination, you will succeed. Continue tossing the coin of life, and never give up.(人生并非没有希望,只要有足够的毅力和决心,你就会成功。继续抛掷生命的硬币,永不放弃。)都阐述了\"永不放弃才能达到目标\"这一主题,结合选项C. A strong﹣willed soul can reach his goal.(一个意志坚强的灵魂可以达到他的目标。)符合题意,故选C. 【点评】做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍,做题时结合原文和题目有针

21.(10分)Skateboarding has been my life since I was 8 years old. Before I knew how to stand up, I would sit on my cousin's old board and roll down the hills of Cáceres, my hometown in Spain.
When I was at university, I heard about Skate﹣Aid an organization that builds skate parks for children in disadvantaged communities. I've always wanted to make a positive impact on the world, and if there were a way to do that through skateboarding, I would be there. I got a call in early 2019 that the next project would be in Syria. I was anxious. We flew to Lebanon arid drove from Beirut to Damascus. We stopped at checkpoints every few minutes. I didn't understand Arabic, and all the men I could see were armed.
Our destination was Qudsaya, a city 7 kilometres west of Damascus. Damage from the war was everywhere: roads were cracked and buildings were covered in holes from shooting, in which birds had built nests.
We were building a skate park in an area that had been largely destroyed, except for a small structure where a family of five was living. They'd fled their home in die north. The mother was so welcoming, bringing us tea and coffee every morning.
It took 28 days to build the park. We would get up early and spend all day working. This was going to be Syria's first skate park, and many people wanted to help.
The kids would watch us skating down the street and were so excite. When we finished the bowl(碗状滑板场),I put kids on a board one by one,and they were amazed by the feeling of rolling along. One boy was a natural.He had never skated before, but within a week he was already skating well.
We stayed for two months. I keep in touch with the kids, and they send me videos of the tricks they've learned. When we left, there were 400 children going to the park every day. I've been to so many countries,but Syria was special. I'll go back as soon as I can.
(1)Why did the author join Skate﹣Aid? (no more than 10 words) To make a positive

impact on the world. (2)What was the author's first impression of Qudsaya? (no more than 10 words) Damage from the war was everywhere.
(3)How did the kids feel about the skate park? (1 word) Excited.
(4)How do you understand the underlined part in Paragraph 7? (no more than 10 words) He had a gift for skateboarding. (5)What would you do to make a difference through your hobby? Please explain. (no more than 25 words) I will help children with English because my English is excellent. 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者用滑板帮助Qudsaya城市的孩子们,让他们获得快乐的经历,从而对世界做出积极的贡献。
【解答】(1)To make a positive impact on the world.细节理解题。根据第二段第二句\"I've always wanted to make a positive impact on the world, and if there were a way to do that through skateboarding, I would be there.(我一直想对这个世界产生积极的影响,如果有一种方法可以通过滑板来做到这一点,我一定会去的)\"可知,作者加入Skate﹣Aid是为了对这个世界产生积极的影响。故答案为To make a positive impact on the world. (2)Damage from the war was everywhere.细节理解题。根据第四段第二句\"Damage from the war was everywhere: roads were cracked and buildings were covered in holes from shooting, in which birds had built nests.(战争造成的破坏随处可见:道路开裂,建筑物被打得坑坑洼洼,鸟儿们在这些坑坑洼洼里筑巢)\"可知,作者对Qudsaya的第一印象是战争造成的破坏随处可见。故答案为Damage from the war was everywhere.
(3)Excited.细节理解题。根据倒第二段第一句\"The kids would watch us skating down the street and were so excited.(孩子们会看着我们在街上滑冰,非常兴奋)\"可知,孩子们对滑板公园感到很兴奋。故答案为Excited.
(4)He had a gift for skateboarding.句意猜测题。根据倒第二段最后一句\"He had never skated before, but within a week he was already skating well.(他以前从未滑过冰,但不到一个星期他就滑得很好了)\"可知,\"One boy was a natural.\"是指他对滑冰很有天赋。故答案为He had a gift for skateboarding.
(5)I will help children with English because my English is excellent.开放性回答。文章中是讲作者通过教孩子们滑冰来对世界产生积极影响,所以考生在回答时也可以说通过教授某样东西来对世界产生积极影响,并解释这样做的原因。故答案为I will help children with
