However, Maltsby has committed to bringing light to people in need by playing music on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida, and donating what he can to them, WTSP reported. In addition to playing for the public, Maltsby also hosts a radio show on WRXB called “Blind Boy Radio”. While on air, the musician gives away groceries, cash and other goods to grateful callers. To date, Maltsby has donated $2,000, but his funds are running loweven with help from sponsors. Thats why hes turning to the community for help. Maltsby has set up a GoFundMe campaign in the hope of collecting $25, 000 to aid struggling people in the community. While Maltsbys benevolent (慈善的) spirit is inspiring, its often the people with little to spare who demonstrate how easy it is to part with money. This past winter, for example, when Dominique HarrisonBentzen, a British student, didt have any way to get home, a homeless man gave her all the money he had$4.60for a taxi. She returned the favor by setting up a fundraiser for the kind man, which has since collected more than 32,000 British pounds(over $50,000) “I hope my campaign will help people think a little more about the people around them，” HarrisonBentzen told The Mirror.“If people can see what I am doing then maybe they can take the time to just stop and talk to a homeless person, hear their story.” 21. What can be learned about Eddie Maltsby Jr.? A. He has collected $25,000. B. Hes going to keep on giving. C. He was born with blindness. D. He plays music to earn a living. 22. Why does Eddie Maltsby Jr. ask for help? A. He earns less and less money. B. His funds have been used up. C. He needs more people to donate. D. His family give no support to his campaign. 23. Which of the following words best describe Eddie Maltsby Jr.? A. Creative and determined. B. Talented and friendly. C. Cooperative and optimistic. D. Helpful and generous. 24. Dominique HarrisonBentzens story is used to _. A. get people involved in community service B. prove that giving is indeed important C. encourage people to share and give D. show the poor are more willing to give B I grew up in a family that ate dinner together every evening. Although my parents enjoyed wine, they rarely drank during the week and were always in moderation (节制). As for myself, I wasnt interested in alcoholic drinks and neither were my high school friends. So when I arrived on campus for my first year of university life, I was a bit shocked. Many different events had been organized for the freshmen, but they all had one thing in commonalcohol, and plenty of it. Not wanting to be left out, I joined a few of the events. But I always returned home early, feeling disappointed. Your personality, interests and experiences didnt matter at all, only how many alcoholic drinks you could absorb before passing out (喝醉). It seemed shallow to me I wanted to get to know my new classmates, not how fast they could down a pint of beer. Gradually, however, I realized that real friends dont judge you by how much you can drink and there were other ways of making friends. I joined a photography society, took a first aid course, and every weekend I went cycling with a classmate. I found that by engaging in these activities and sharing the fun of learning new skills together in a group, I formed much stronger bonds with my new friends than even the strongest alcoholic drinks could encourage. Another valuable lesson I learned is that its perfectly okay to say “No” if you dont want to drink. However, in many Western societies, especially the UK, binge drinking (狂喝)has become the norm. Many people who drink dont necessarily want to, but they give in to the peer pressure (同伴压力)theyre afraid to say “No” 25. What shocked the author when he entered university? A. The strange campus. B. The popularity of alcohol. C. The drunken classmates. D. The limited activities. 26. Why did the author return home early from the events at first? A. He wasnt good at drinking. B. He had no familiar classmates. C. He hated the way people got along. D. He was left out by the organizers. 27. How did the author finally make real friends at university? A. By saying “No” to alcoholic drinks. B. By staying away from group activities. C. By giving in to the peer pressure. D. By joining people with common interests. C My daddy worked hard to support our family in the 1940s. The year I was eight, we barely had two dimes (十分硬币) for the coming Christmas. Our neighbor suggested that we hang lights in our yard to lift the Christmas spirit along our street. However, we had just enough money for things to decorate our living room. There was a hardware store (五金店) down the street. I wanted to see how much the lights cost. On the way I spotted a dime on the sidewalk. Joy! How lucky I was to have found 10 cents ! In the store, I stared longingly at the strings of outdoor lights. I knew I could not buy even the smallest set. Then I saw the single lights, and my hope rose. I got excited when discovering a single bulb cost only 20 cents. Walking home, I was thinking how I might get another dime. Maybe if I helped my grandma gather evergreens, she would give me a few cents. As expected, Grandma asked for my help on the weekend. But I didnt get a cent when we finished. Several days later, Uncle Charlie dropped in, and gave each child a dime. We jumped with delight. Just as soon as I could, I went back to the hardware store and bought a single colored bulb. Back home, I climbed the ladder and replaced the clear light with the colored one. After the sunset, I switched on the light and, unobserved, went outside to see the lovely colored light in the darkness. When Daddy came home, he asked, “Who put the light on the front door？” “I did, Daddy！”I smiled up at him.“Doesnt it look Christmassy？” He bent down and, with tears in his eyes, took me gently in his arms. Our house was wearing some holiday spirit, and it looked beautiful. 28. The neighbor suggested that the authors family _.

His uncle gave it to him as pocket money. D. He earned it by taking a parttime job. 31. Why did the authors father take him in his arms? A. His father was moved by his caring behavior. B. His father was affected by his merry feelings. C. His father was touched that he had helped his grandma. D. His father was proud that he had replaced the bulb by himself. D Heavy rain continues to attack South Carolina after a powerful storm flooded much of the state over the weekend. Emergency workers are going doortodoor to search for anyone who may still be trapped in their homes. At least seven deaths have been blamed on the storm so far. The storm poured more than 20 inches of rain on one area of Columbia, South Carolinas capital. Many cars ended up completely under water on flooded streets. Even weather experts said they were surprised by the amount of rain the storm poured on the state. On Sunday, Governor Nikki Haley said the storm is the kind seen only once in a thousand years. Earlier in the week, weather experts had predicted Hurricane Joaquin to attack the East Coast, but the hurricane turned away in the Atlantic Ocean. Despite the shift, Shepherd says tropical moisture (水分) from the hurricane helped boost the power of the rainstorm in the Carolinas and several neighboring states. According to the National Weather Service, Sunday was the wettest day in the history of Columbia. The rainfall total at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport was 6.87 inches, the highest oneday level ever recorded there. The flooding caused water main breaks that have threatened the drinking water supply for South Carolinas capital city. Columbia officials told all 375 000 of its water customers to boil water before drinking it. Worse still, many roads and bridges across the state were washed out or under water. One of the hardest hit areas in Columbia was near Gills Creek, where a weather station recorded over 20 inches of rain over the weekend. Rescue crews used boats to save the family of Jeff Whalen, whose house backed up on the stream. Columbia residents have also been helping one another. Rawlings LaMotte, 38, said he and a friend got into a small motorboat and transported several people to safety. 32. Governor Nikki Haley said the storm is the kind seen only once in a thousand years because _. A. it came so suddenly B. it was so serious C. it killed many emergency workers D. it failed to be predicted 33. The underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “_” A. reduce B. control C. increase D. cause 34. What damage was caused to South Carolina? A. Hundreds of people were killed in the storm. B. Drinking water supply was cut off. C. Many roads and bridges were destroyed. D. A large number of people lost their homes. 35. The best title for the passage would be _. A. Damage Caused by a Natural Disaster B. Hurricane Striking the United States C. Rescue Operations in a Storm D. Flooding in South Carolina 第二节七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） There are certain steps you can take to relieve the damage done by some of the previously mentioned reading problems. 36_ Be sure to use and practice them as you read. Take breaks. Remember tiredness can lead to all of the health problems and to other problems as well.
