Want to explore new cultures，meet new people and do something worthwhile at the same time？You can do all the three with Global Development Association（GDA）.Whatever stage of life you're at，wherever you go and whatever project you do in GDA，you'll create positive changes in a poor and remote community（社區(qū)）.
We work with volunteers of all ages and backgrounds.Most of our volunteers are aged 17-24.Now we need volunteer managers aged 25-75.They are extremely important in the safe and effective running of our programmes.We have such roles as project managers，mountain leaders，and communication officers.
Depending on which role you choose，you could help to increase a community's access to safe drinking water，or help to protect valuable local cultures.You might also design an adventure challenge to train young volunteers.
Not only will you help our young volunteers to develop personally，you'll also learn new skills and increase your cultural awareness.You may have chances to meet new people who'll become your lifelong friends.
This summer we have both 4-week and 7-week programmes：

2．We journalists live in a new age of storytelling，with many new multimedia tools.Many young people don't even realize it's new.For them，it's just normal.
This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday.I had brought a children's book to read.It had simple words and colorful pictures- a perfect match for his age.
Picture this：my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures.As I read，he reaches out and pokes（戳）the page with his finger.
What's up with that？He just likes the pictures，I thought.Then I turned the page and continued.He poked the page even harder.I nearly dropped the book.I was confused：Is there something wrong with this kid？
Then I realized what was happening.He was actually a stranger to books.His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke tjye.aim.He thought my storybook was like that.
Sorry，kid.This book is not part of your high-tech world.It's an outdated，lifeless thing.An antique，like your grandfather.Well，I may be old，but I'm not hopelessly challenged，digitally speaking.I edit video and produce audio.I use mobile payment.I've even built websites.
There's one notable gap in my new-media experience，however：I've spent little time in front of a camera，since I have a face made for radio.But that didn't stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing，Tianjin and Hebei province.
Anyway，grandpa is now an internet star- two minutes of fame!I promise not to let it go to my head.But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.

3．Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running，research shows，while most likely contributing to fewer injuries.It does，however，have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes.The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk，which is about five miles longer than the marathon.But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times.It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity，however，says Jaclyn Norberg，an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem，Mass.
Like running，race walking is physically demanding，she says.According to most calculations，race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories per hour，which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking，although fewer than running，which would probably burn about 1，0000 or more calories per hour.
However，race walking does not pound the body as much as running does，Dr.Norberg says.According to her research，runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step，while race walkers，who do not leave the ground，create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result，she says，some of the injuries associated with running，such as runner's knee，are uncommon among race walkers.But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips，so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport.In fact，anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique，she says.It takes some practice.
（1）Why are race walkers conditioned athletes？
A．They must run long distances.
B．They have to follow special rules.
C．They are qualified for the marathon.
D．They are good at swinging their legs.
（2）What advantage dose race walking have over running？
A．It's less challenging physically.
B．It's more popular at the Olympics.
C．It's less likely to cause knee injuries.
D．It's more effective in body building.
（3）What is Dr.Norberg's suggestion for someone trying race walking？
A．Doing regular exercises.
B．Having a medical checkup.
C．Hiring an experienced coach.
D．Getting experts' opinions.
（4）Which word best describes the author's attitude to race walking？
A．Objective.
B．Doubtful.
C．Tolerant.
D．Supportive.組卷：2引用：2難度：0.5

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
Walter John was a 20-year-old college student from Homewood，Alabama.As a young man in college far away from home，he didn't have much money.He had to work part-time to cover his living costs.
Recently he gave up his part-time job in the fast-food business and found a new one at a home-moving company called Bellhops.The pay for his new job was higher，and John gained more flexibility with his hours，which allowed him to focus on his studies a bit more.He wanted to do everything he could to secure this new employment opportunity，so he thought he had to try his best to make sure that everything would go well on his first day!
But sometimes，life hits you unexpectedly.A day before John began his new job，his car broke down!With little money to his name，he couldn't have his car repaired at the garage.None of his friends were able to take him to work.What was worse，the public transportation was not running at his working time.If he took a taxi，it would cost him half his salary.Therefore，he decided to walk to the company.
In order to get there by six in the morning，he thought that the safest way would be to leave at midnight.John even challenged himself to arrive there one hour earlier.Even though it seemed like such a far walk，John knew he was fit enough to do it.This was challenging，but John knew it was possible.
He grabbed his wallet and his phone and left his apartment.As soon as he stepped out of the door，he realized that walking alone in the dark at midnight can be dangerous.Moreover，he had to walk through a large wood as well as many blocks of the city.Therefore，he went back to take a bat（球棒）and a kitchen knife for safety purposes.In case a wild animal or some bad person attacked him，at least he would have something for protection.
注意：
1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
Finally John started his long walk.________.
At that time，a car was drawing closer.________.組卷：28引用：4難度：0.1
