I am connected to many people working as volunteers all over the world, even after COVID-19 broke out.
Twelve days ago, I was contacted by someone I know, a person from Kenya. He shared a story about his work for kindness and joy. In his sharing, I discovered his family and other families had no food since March 23 because of lockdown(禁闭）.
For one day I was grief-stricken for them. I mean, how could I, in North Carolina, possibly do anything to help feed a man and 50 people on the other side of the world? After a sleepless night I awoke with clarity to give money to these families. It was not a lot of money, but all that I had and I was determined to find a way to get the funds to Kenya from the US. Luckily, I succeeded in the end. My friend has been able to make the money go far buying corn, oil, fruit, and vegetables to feed 20 adults and 30 children. And now they have food.
Each day presents a new problem. Many more people in other countries in Africa have reached out to me asking for help. It is heartbreaking. I cannot help everyone with money but I am determined to help everyone I can with telling their stories through our column Global Storytellers for Kindness on our website. I asked my friend for a list of the children in his family. So now I sit with a list of 30 names, ages, and school years, wondering what on earth we can do for these children. Each night I sleep with a question and hope my dreams will give me guidance during my awake time.
Each day is filled with problems and difficulties I could never have imagined, and also thoughts, actions, and ideas that are blossoming to extend love and mercy between many humans.

School is, waking up early in the morning, whether it is hot or cold, putting on school uniform and rushing to the bus stop to catch the school bus and getting used to the words “Hurry up! You will be late!” You reach school and again the same words “Hurry up!” do not let you rest in peace.
Throughout the day, it is a mad rush. One period gets over, the other starts and you are ready for the second subject. When you forget to do your homework, you try to sit at the back and pretend to be looking for something on the floor or in your bag. You are lucky if you are not seen and it is bad luck if you get caught. If you are not lucky, be ready for a good scolding during break or after school. If you are lucky and your teacher is in a good mood, you may be left with a warning.
However, school is not so dull all the time; the games, library period and breaks are a welcome time. When you can relax, joke and have fun with your friends. There are some teachers, too, who can make school very exciting. For example Mr. Taneja, has a typical style of talking, making us always hooked on the playground.
School can be fun, real fun, when picnics and field trips are organized. We wait for them eagerly and keep on requesting our class teacher to organize one for us. Debates, quizzes, cultural programmes also add luster to an otherwise dull school life. Fun increase after real hard work and you tend to enjoy more than those who had been lazy and have wasted their time. I think this period of your life is the most wonderful period-full of dreams and hope.

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章首段School is, waking up early in the morning, whether it is hot or cold, putting on school uniform and rushing to the bus stop to catch the school bus and getting used to the words “Hurry up! You will be late!” You reach school and again the same words “Hurry up!” do not let you rest in peace.可知，学校就是，不管天气热还是冷，一大早就起床，穿上校服，冲到公交车站赶校车，习惯了“快点！你要迟到了！你到了学校，又一次用同样的话“快点！“不要让你安静地休息，和最后一段的School can be fun, real fun, when picnics and field trips are organized.和Debates, quizzes, cultural programmes also add luster to an otherwise dull school life.可知，野餐和实地考察是有组织的学校可以是有趣的，是真正的乐趣。辩论、测验、文化节目也为原本枯燥乏味的学校生活增添光彩。因此可以看出，学校生活既紧张又有趣，故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的When you forget to do your homework, you try to sit at the back and pretend to be looking for something on the floor or in your bag.

If you are lucky and your teacher is in a good mood, you may be left with a warning.可知，当你忘了做作业时，你试着坐在后面，假装在地板上或包里找东西。如果你不被看见你是幸运的，如果你被抓住了，那就是坏运气。如果你运气不好，准备好在课间休息或放学后挨骂。如果你运气好，你的老师心情很好，你可能会受到警告，因此可以推出，在忘写作业时，学生假装低头找东西是为了不让老师看到自己，逃脱老师的批评，也就是希望自己的过错不受惩罚，故选A。

D
The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University has turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.
Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive.
Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.
These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.”
“But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.” Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, “The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.”
“For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.”
“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”
12. What is the purpose of the DriveLAB?
A. To explore new means of transport. B. To design new types of cars.
C. To find out older driver’s problems. D. To teach people traffic rules.
13. Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?
A. It keeps them independent B. It helps them save time.
C. It builds up their strength. D. It cures their mental illnesses.
14. What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?
A. Improve their driving skills. B. Develop driver-assist technologies.
C. Provide tips on repairing their cars. D. Organize regular physical checkups.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. A new Model Electric Car B. A Solution to Traffic Problem
C Driving Service for elders D. Keeping Older Drivers on the Road
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】

这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了老年司机在需要停止开车的年龄之前就不得不停止开车，所以一些研究人员就开始了解老年司机存在的问题，想要用技术去解决这些问题，比如开发了控制速度的系统、制定导航工具、夜视系统和智能速度适应。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.可知，DriveLAB为了理解老年司机所面对的挑战，发现关键点在哪里。即发现老年司机的问题，故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.”可知，开车对于保持老年司机的独立性很重要，让他们可以自由地出去走动，而不必依赖别人。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.及最后一段We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.可知，研究人员想要用技术解决的老年司机的关键难题，而且正在研究一种控制速度的系统，即开发驾驶员辅助技术，故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要讲述一些研究人员想要利用技术解决老年司机驾驶存在的问题，其目的是帮助老年司机能够一直开车直到应该停止的年龄，故以 Keeping Older Drivers on the Road符合全文主旨，其他题目都太片面，不足以概括全文。故选D。
【点睛】主旨大意题解题技巧
Topic/Title型-使用逆推法
（1）要在阅读原文基础上，仔细考虑选项是否与文章主题有密切联系
（2）再看选项对文章的概括性或覆盖面如何
（3）要注意题目是否过大或者过小
（4）要避免下列三种错误概括不够（多表现为部分代整体，导致范围过小）、过度概括（多表现为扩大范围）、以事实、细节代替抽象概括的大意。
比如第四题主要围绕老年司机为主，故排除了A和B，对象不正确。C. Driving Service for elders. 为老人提供服务，本文也算服务的一种，但是犯了过度概括的错误，范围扩大了， D. Keeping Older Drivers on the Road.这正是本文介绍的内容，研究人员目的也是延长老年司机的驾驶时间。故选D。
