21、As the saying goes, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” This is the way the charity organization Heifer International wants to end world hunger.

It began in the 1930s when an American farmer, Dan West, went to Spain to help people in need. He tried to feed the people with milk. But it seemed that there would never be enough milk. It made him think that what they needed was “not a cup, but a cow”. Dan West returned to America. He worked together with some friends to find ways to end hunger. He believed giving animals and providing training would stop world hunger. With his help, Heifer International was set up.

On Heifer International’s website, you will see a list of animals like cows, chickens, pigs and even fish and bees. You can offer help by buying some animals for one certain family. Those animals will have babies. With more and more animals, these families will be able to support themselves. Once these families get better lives, they will pass on the act of kindness to others. More importantly, you are buying the resources（资源）for programs run by Heifer International to help more families.

The programs also help small-sized farms. As a rule, each farmer must give his animal’s first female(雌性) baby to another in need. Heifer International also provides training on animals’ health and feeding. And these farmers all agree to teach others what they have learned as another rule.

However, there is still a long way to go. The milk may run out. But if families have their own cows, they can get plenty of milk to feed themselves. The organization wants the farmers to go on working together, helping each other and learning from each other. Maybe hunger can really be stopped.

【1】According to the passage, what can know about Dan West?

A．He set up a team in Spain

B．He helped people with enough fish

C．He was a Spanish farmer

D．He helped set up Heifer International

【2】Which is NOT TRUE about Heifer International?

A．Heifer International provides a list of animals for people to buy

B．Farmers in the program must teach others

C．Farmers in the program must give their first male babies to others.

D．Heifer International provides training on animals’ health and feeding.

【3】Which is the best title for the passage?

A．Advice on Feeding Cows

B．A Cow Instead of a Cup

C．The Charity Organizations

D．An American Farmer

22、

24、根据短文内容及所给首字母提示写出所缺单词，使短文意思完整，每空一词。

Wonder, by United States writer R. J. Palacio, is a powerful story of transformation (改变). It tells the story of a special boy, August Pullman, who was b【1】 with a serious facial difference. And up till now, it has p【2】 him from going to a mainstream school.

When he first started school at 10, everyone made fun of him. August wanted n【3】 more than to be treated as a kid like others—but his new classmates can’t get past his strange face. Students often bully (欺负) him for not looking normal (正常的). H【4】, he makes true friends there and even wins an award at his graduation ceremony. August is a hero for the ages, one who proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.

This book has t【5】 my heart. It’s not a fairy tale—life isn’t one. I【6】, the story is very realistic, as it shows what could I really happen in middle school. What’s more, it’s told from different points of view (视角). Wonder begins from August’s point of view, but soon switches to (切换到) others’, i【7】 his classmates’, his sister’s and so on. This o【8】 readers a chance to understand different characters’ feelings and thoughts.

I think we can all relate to August. In one way or another, we are all just like him. We each have our own d【9】, but we shouldn’t try to change ourselves to fit in. We all experience ups and downs, but like August, we’ve got the c【10】 back and won. Despite all the brutality (残忍) in the world, there’s always a reason to smile.
