There are hundreds of thousands of kids trapped in quitting schools in the U.S. alone. There are many millions of starving children around the world. How can a single person who isn't a billionaire have an impact? Where do you start? Start with one small act. When Hilde Back was a schoolteacher in Sweden, she decided to sponsor (赞助) one child's education in Kenya. Hilde's sponsorship of Chris cost about $15 per month. Most poor children in Kenya cannot afford to pay secondary school tuition. Unfortunately, without an education, an extremely difficult and poor life is practically guaranteed. Thanks to Hilde's generosity, Chris avoided that fate. Chris graduated from high school, went to University of Nairobi and then attended Harvard Law School. He became a U.N. Human Rights Advocate, and he started a charity. He got the name of his anonymous (匿名的) sponsor through the Swedish 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 embassy and named his nonprofit organization the Hilde Back Education Fund (HBEF) after the sponsor he never met. HBEF pays tuition for poor students in Kenya. Since the charity's start, 350 children have been supported. Three hundred and fifty lives have been changed directly so far. That doesn't even include the impact on their families. And who knows how many of these students will be inspired, as Chris was, to give back. When talking about why he started HBEF to educate poor children, he said, "I think I want to see a world in which children have equal opportunity and are not robbed of their future by poverty, like so many of my friends in the village were." It's interesting that the only reason why Hilde Back was even alive to support Chris was because of a stranger's kindness. This is a reminder that we can all make a difference, and you never know what a big impact a small act of kindness can have. 26. What's the function of the first paragraph? A. To tell a story. B.

Technology has been reshaping the news business and the way consumers relate to it for more than a decade. The latest shift is being driven by the exploding popularity of phones that can easily access the Internet. The new study found that 26 percent of Americans get news on their phones. Pew doesn’t have comparable data for say, two or three years ago. But evidence of the shift in habits can be seen in this finding: About 43 percent of those under 50 said they are mobile news consumers, compared with 15 percent of older respondents. Still, some things don’t change. Readers’ No. 1 concern when they look for news on their phones: the weather. Of the 37 percent of cell phone owners who said they use the Internet on their phone, 72 percent said they check weather reports. Current events came in second with 68 percent. Pew’s survey offered a wide range of statistics on people’s news habits. It showed people are not relying on one medium. Just shy of 60 percent of respondents get news from both online and offline sources. And 46 percent said they use four to six different types of media on a typical day. The Web is also helping to turn the news into more of a social experience: More than 80 percent of respondents get or receive news via e-mailed links. The results were based on telephone interviews with 2,259 people over the age of 18, conducted between Dec. 28 and Jan. 19. For questions to that entire group, the margin of error was 2.3 percentage points. On questions to just Internet users, the margin was 2.7 percentage points. 1.

Because they have phones accessing the Internet. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 6 D. Because reading news on cell phone is free. 2. What conclusion can we draw from the second paragraph? A. Older cell phone owners are more likely to look for news on their phones. B. Younger cell phone owners are more likely to look for news on their phones. C. Older cell phone owners never look for news on their phones. D. All the younger cell phone owners look for news on their phones. 3. What’s the most popular approach for people to receive news? A. By only one medium. B. By reading newspapers. C. By emailed links. D. By cell phone’s access. 4. How long did the telephone interviews last? A. Nearly twenty hours. B. More than a month. C.

The United States was becoming more diverse as immigrants streamed into the country, settling especially in America’s growing urban areas. At this time, America’s social diversity began to find significant expression in the arts and culture. American writers of German, Irish, Jewish, and Scandinavian ancestry began to find an audience, although some of the cultural elite (中坚分子) resisted the works, considering them crude and unrefined. Many of these writers focused on 20th-century city life and themes, such as poverty, efforts to assimilate (消化) into the United States, and family life in the new country. European influence now meant something very different than it once had: Artists changed the core of American experience by incorporating their various immigrant origins into its cultural vision. During the 1920s and 1930s, a host of African American poets and novelists added their voices to this new American vision. Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Countee Cullen, among others, gathered in New York City’s Harlem (黑人住宅区) district. They began to write about their unique experiences, creating a movement called the Harlem Renaissance. Visual artists of the early 20th century also began incorporating the many new sights and colors of the multiethnic (不同种族的) America visible in these new city settings. Painters associated with a group known as The Eight, such as Robert Henri and John Sloan, portrayed the picturesque sights of the city. Later painters and photographers focused on the city’s squalid (污秽的) aspects. Although nature remained a significant part of American cultural self-expression, as the paintings of Georgia O’Keeffe demonstrated, it was no longer at the heart of American culture. By the 1920s and 1930s few artists or writers considered nature the extraordinary basis of American cultural identity. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 8 In popular music too, the songs of many nations became American songs. Tin Pan Alley was full of immigrant talents who helped define American music, especially in the form of the Broadway musical. Some songwriters, such as Irving Berlin and George M. Cohan, used their music to help define American patriotic songs and holiday traditions. During the 1920s musical forms such as the blues and jazz began to dominate the rhythms of American popular music. These forms had their roots in Africa as adapted in the American South and then in cities. 1. The main theme of the painting in the early 20th century is . A. poverty B. experience C. nature D. life 2. Which of the following countries’ culture might have the least effect on American culture? A. Finland. B. India. C. South Africa. D. Irish. 3. The following is true EXCEPT . A. Many artists or writers didn’t realize the function of nature in the basis of American cultural identity until 1920s. B. The blues and jazz was quite popular in the 1920s and had a closely relation with African music. C. Immigrants affected America’s social diversity and it can be found in the change of the arts and culture at that time. D. The paintings which were created by Robert Henri and John Sloan may be about the beautiful scenery of the city. 4. What is some of the cultural elite’s attitude towards the works written by the writers who came from Europe? 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 9 A. Critical. B. Reserved. C. Positive. D. Objective. 5. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage? A. Immigration and Diversity in America B. American Modern Culture and Art C. Famous American Artists and Writers D. The United States—A Developed Country 【参考答案】19. CBAAA
