【題目】 Millions of people visit Machu Picchu each year. It is an ancient Inca city in the mountains of Peru. Steep(陡峭的) steps and rough paths make the trip a challenge. It used to be nearly impossible for people with a physical disability.

Wheel the World has changed that. The company offers wheel-chair- accessible(可以使用輪椅的) tours of Machu Picchu and other places around the world. “Normally people with disabilities would think that these kinds of places are not possible for them,” Camilo Navarro told reporters. He set up Wheel the World with his best friend, Alvaro Silberstein. Silberstein uses a wheel chair.

Navarro and Silberstein started Wheel the World after hiking Torres del Paine in 2016. It is a national park in Chile. Silberstein was the first person to travel the park in a wheelchair. “Our story went popular,” he says. “We started receiving hundreds of requests from people wanting to repeat this trip.”

Today, Wheel the World runs 40 wheelchair-accessible trips in 55 countries. The company offers cars and hotels with ramps(輪椅). It directs people to accessible(可進入的) bathrooms. It even teaches local guides to help wheelchair users get around.

Wheel the World uses a special wheelchair for the Machu Picchu trip. It can be pushed like a wheelbarrow(獨輪車). It also folds up(折疊) and can be put into a car easily. “It's a super strong wheelchair. It allows you to get to every corner in all kinds of places,” Navarro says. “Wherever somebody with a disability want to go, we can get there with that wheelchair.”

Wheel the World hopes to give people with disabilities the same opportunities as everyone else. “The world hasn't been planned for people with a disability,” Navarro says. “It's important to build a fairer and better world.”

【解析】

本文主要講了Wheel the World這家公司，提供給殘疾人特殊的輪椅，不管殘疾的人想去哪里，都可以用輪椅到達那里。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)上文Wheel the world has changed that. The company offers …中的“The company”指代上句Wheel the world，可知它是一家公司。故選A。

【2】理解判斷題。A. Silberstein first traveled Torres del Paine in a wheelchair. 西爾伯斯坦第一次坐著輪椅旅行Torres del Paine。根據(jù)上文Silberstein was the first person to travel the park in a wheelchair. 西爾伯斯坦是第一個坐著輪椅去公園旅行的人�？芍隧椪_。B. Silberstein traveled Machu Picchu with his friends in 2016. 根據(jù)上文Navarro and Silberstein started Wheel the World after hiking Torres del Paine in 2016. 可知2016年他去了Torres del Paine ，而不是Machu Picchu ，所以此項錯誤。C. Camilo Navarro said that he set up Wheel the World alone. 卡米洛·納瓦羅說，他獨自建立了“世界之輪”。根據(jù)上文He set up Wheel the World with his best friend, Alvaro Silberstein.可知他和他最好的朋友阿爾瓦羅·西爾伯斯坦建立了“世界之輪”。所以此項錯誤。D. Few people wanted to repeat this trip to Torres del Paine.很少有人想重復這次托雷斯德爾潘恩之行。根據(jù)上文“We started receiving hundreds of requests from people wanting to repeat this trip.” 可知數(shù)以百計的人們想要重復這次旅行。所以此項錯誤。故選A。

【3】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第四段內(nèi)容Today, Wheel the World runs 40 wheelchair-accessible trips in 55 countries. The company offers cars and hotels with ramps(輪椅). It directs …users get around.可知本段主要講了Wheel the World為殘疾人舉辦旅行。故選D。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)上文“It's a super strong … we can get there with that wheelchair.”， 這是一個超級強壯的輪椅。不管有殘疾的人想去哪里，我們都可以用輪椅到達那里�？芍氖滞栖嚭苡袔椭埠軓妷眩蔬xB。

【5】最佳標題題。通讀全文，可知本文主要講了Wheel the World這家公司，提供給殘疾人特殊的輪椅，不管殘疾的人想去哪里，都可以用輪椅到達那里。所以Travelling in a wheelchair坐輪椅出行，符合本文中心思想，故選C。

【題目】 Could you imagine a library where you borrow tools, appliances and sports gear(用具)? As a student, Sabrina could see the simple solution to a problem — in order to reduce waste and create a good effect on our environment, perhaps we should try sharing the things we have.

When she arrived in Brisbane four years ago, Sabrina had nothing with her but a suitcase full of clothes and a laptop. To start settling in, she asked friends if she could borrow the things she needed. Over time, as she started to have things of her own, she would _______ them to her friends in return.

She then came to the conclusion that we don’t need to own every single tool for every single_______, we just need to have them; we need a place where we can borrow what we need —in other words, a library. Sabrina decided to put her idea into action and so the Brisbane Tool Library was born.

Within two years the tool library has grown to over 225 members and today is run by a team of volunteers, mostly women, from 13 different nationalities. For a small membership fee, the library offers _______ from hand and power tools to sporting and camping gear, and kitchen equipment.

The library now has over 500 items in its storeroom with another 500 waiting to come. These are items that would otherwise have gone into landfill when their owners are _________ them sitting on the shelf — most are still new. “It doesn’t need to be like this,” says Sabrina. “It’s not just about reducing waste when things are at the _______ of their life cycle. And recycling is not enough. We need to rethink purchasing from the very beginning. We need some change.”

It’s a part of the rise of the share economy, where phone apps allow _______ to share rarely-used goods with people who need them. Libraries have been around for centuries offering public use of shared resources.

【1】A.lendB.reportC.readD.sell

【2】A.excuseB.successC.purposeD.secret

【題目】 Experts say that students usually need eight to ten hours' sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children study late. They will think their children work very hard. But not all parents are happy about this.
