体裁：记叙文　话题：慈善行为　时间：6分钟
Basketball professional Tina Charles grew up understanding the importance of education and of giving back to others.When the WNBA star and the 2022 US Olympic Women's Basketball team athlete heard about the chance to fund a school in an African village，she made sure to take part.
Charles first came across the opportunity while she was a sophomore in college.At that time，she didn't have the funds to help out，but all of that changed when she was drafted(选派) to the WNBA.With the help of two charitable organizations—OmniPeace and buildOn—Charles funded the entire 32,000 cost of the school.
The school，completed earlier this spring，was built in the small village of Ganale in western Africa.Before Charles' contribution，children living in the village were schooled in tiny mud huts.The lack of proper lighting and of proper airflow made it difficult for the students to learn.
The new school building is nearly 3,000 square feet and contains three large classrooms.It can fit up to 150 students at a time and is also used for adult literacy(读写力气) classes in the evenings.The school will be a source of learning for generations to come.
Charles undertook this charitable act while playing professional basketball and preparing for the London Olympics.The Olympic Games begin today，July 27，and Charles will play for a team that has won the gold medal in the last four Olympic Games.
The first­time Olympic competitor considers her position in the team，along with 12 fellow female basketball players，a “testament to how hard she works”．
Whether it is representing her country in the Olympic Games or giving back to the community，Charles is always working hard.“Once you receive，you have to give，” she told the reporter.“I wanted to give others the same opportunities I had growing up.”
【语篇导读】　首次参与奥运会的美国女子职业篮球运动员蒂娜·查尔斯出资32 000美元，为非洲的一个村子援建了一所学校。

He has vowed that he will not stop building his business until it is worth £100 million. But hard-working Owens can stop for at least a moment's celebration after making his first £1 million at the age of 16. Owens, who has used a computer since the age of seven, began teaching himself basic web design at the age of ten when he was given his first Mac computer. He used his pocket money to fund his first business project, website Mac Box Bundle at just 14 which has made £700,000 since its establishment in 2008. Mac Box Bundle sells a combination of popular Mac applications which are worth up to $400 together for under just $100 and donates 10 percent of the money to charities.

阅读理解-------C
The morning for our snowmobiling (雪上汽车) adventure finally arrived, and we set off on the hour-and-a-half drive to the resort. A fresh powder had fallen the night before, and everything was frosted white. We couldn’t have asked for more perfect conditions. The sun sparkled (闪光) on the snow, and the trails (路线) were completely empty – not another person or snowmobile in sight. We were thrilled at being the only people for miles around … until we got going.
As we drove through the deserted wilderness (荒野), my excitement became stone-cold fear. I had no idea what I was afraid of, or why I was afraid, but suddenly every turn, every hill, every steep (陡峭的) side of the mountain scared me to death. I kept picturing us crashing headlong into a tree or falling off the side of a drop. u
But after lunch things changed. We were the only humans who had been there since the snowfall. The peaceful place, the incredible beauty of the landscape, and the almost sacred experience of sharing a mountain with the wildlife touched my very core (核心). My mind cleared and quieted and my muscles relaxed.
As we drove the last leg of the run, I began to resent being afraid to drive. Deep down, I wanted to be in charge of the thing that scared me. It made me angry that fear was keeping me from something I really wanted to do. The day was coming to an end, and the resort was only a few miles away. I knew that if I didn’t take my chance now, I would regret it.
I signaled for my husband to pull over. I wanted to drive, although my heart pounded (重击). I stared off slowly and felt the wind in my face. I smiled and sped up a little. I let out a “Yee-haw!” and went full out, taking my husband on the best ride of the day.
We ended the day on that breathless, carefree, and I felt proud of myself – proud of overcoming my fear.

B. The author didn’t get worried until they started to drive through the deserted wild.
C. Aware that she and her husband were the only people around, the author became anxious.
D. The author was so nervous that she almost crashed into a big tree.
13. According to the article, after lunch the author _____.
A. gradually calmed down
B. stopped to enjoy the beautiful scenery
C. saw some wildlife on the mountain
D. was afraid to continue her journey
14. The underlined word “resent” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______.

15. What message does the story convey?
A. A person’s biggest enemy is his or her inner self.
B. It’s no use crying over the spilt milk.
C. Take time to enjoy the beauty of nature.
D. Respect and take pride in yourself.

C篇描述的是作者突如其来的恐惊感以及最终如何克服的。
D。主旨大意题。本文作者描述了最终可以雪上汽车冒险了格外兴奋的心情，但是真正开头后，作者又被一种莫名的恐惊所掩盖。直到午饭后，四周的幽静美景让作者彻底地放松、清静下来。因此作者把最终一段旅程作为克服自己恐惊的机会，成功后喜悦而傲慢，所以D正确。
B。推理推断题。依据第一段可确定B正确。依据其次段可排解A；依据第一段最终一句可排解C；文章中作者只是担忧会撞倒树上，所以D错误。
A。细节理解题。依据第三段可推断A正确。
C。词义猜想题。依据本词毁灭的下面一句说作者内心期望克服恐惊，可知应当是厌烦这种恐惊感。选C。
A。词义猜想题。全文重点是作者突如其来的恐惊感以及最终如何克服的，所以A正确。

When Joan gave birth to the first boy in her family in three generations, she and her husband were overjoyed. So were her parents. Joan expected her elder sister, Sally, to be just as delighted as them. Joan had always admired Sally--the beauty and the star of the family--and felt happy about her achievements.
But since the baby's arrival, the sisters have become distant. Joan feels hurt for Sally seems completely uninterested in her baby. Sally, who has no children, claims that her younger sister "acts as if no one ever had a beby before."
Neither Sally nor Joan understands that the real cause of the current coldness is that their family roles have suddenly changed to the opposite. Finally Joan seems to be better than her elder sister--and Sally doesn't like it! Their distance may be temporary, but it shows that childhood competition don't fade easily as ages grow. It can remain powerful in relationships throughout life.
In a study of the University of Cincinnati,65 men and women between ages 25 and 93 were asked how they felt about their brothers and sisters. Nearly 75 percent admitted having hidden competitive feelings. In a few cases, these emotions were so strong as to have affected their entire lives.
Many adult brothers and sisters are close, supportive--yet still tend to compete. Two brothers I know turn into killers when on opposite sides of a tennis net. Off the court, they are the best of friends. My own younger sister can't wait to tell me when I've put on weight. However, she's a terrible cook and that pleases me; I tease her when she comes to dinner. Happily, despite these small failings, we have been an important resource for each other.
In between the very competitive and the generally supportive children lie those who say that no friendship should survive. Some brothers and sisters stay at arm's length, hut never give up competition completely. Why do these puzzling, unproductive, often painful relationships continue to exist?
