• 2．A boy shivered in the harsh Oslo winter，pathetically wrapping his arms around himself on a bus stop bench.He wasn't wearing a coat and temperatures in the Norwegian capital regularly plunge to -10℃ during winter.
     A heartbreaking scene，but the actions of the ordinary people who witnessed the difficult situation of 11-year-old Johanne Linnestad Flaaten were both joyous and inspiring.
     A young woman sat next to the boy and noticed him rubbing his arms.She immediately asked him， "Don't you have a jacket？"
     "No，someone stole，" he replied.She questioned him and discovered he was on a school trip and was told to meet his teacher at the bus stop.She asked him the name of his school and where he was from as she selflessly covered her own coat around his shoulders.
     Later，another older woman at first gave him her scarf，and then wrapped him in her large padded jacket.
     Throughout the day，more and more people offered Johanne their gloves and even the coats off their backs as they waited for their bus.
     Johanne's predicament was a hidden camera experiment by Norwegian charity SOS Children's Village as part of their winter campaign to gather donations to send much-needed coats and blankets to help Syrian children get through the winter.Many of the refugees have left their homes without winter clothing.
     "People should care as much about children in Syria as they care about this boy，" Synne Running the information head of SOS Children's Villages Norway，told The Local.She also noted that the child was a volunteer who was never in any danger during the filming.

• 3．Before you worry about bacon and how much it may cost when new animal welfare laws go into effect next year，let's talk about the pigs that gave their lives for it.
     California has been on the forefront of protecting animals who live short lives on factory farms either to produce food for us or to be slaughtered and sold as food.The latest advance came in November 2018，when 62.7% of the state's voters supported Proposition 12，the Prevention of Cruelty to Farm Animals Act.The law began going into effect last year，requiring hens and veal calves to be given more space to live in.Starting on Jan.1st，the law will require that all eggs sold in California come from cage-free hens and that pork sold in the state come from breeding pigs that are not held in cages.These are humane steps designed to lift these animals out of structures that barely allow them to move.
     Pork producers have had the longest time to comply （遵守）.Some big companies like Hormel Foods have pledged to do so fully，but others have spent the last few years fighting the law rather than figuring out how to put it into practice.They say that the law will significantly raise the price of pork and that it violates the Commerce Clause of the Constitution，which gives Congress sole power over interstate business activity.So far，that fight has been a waste of time that pork producers could have better spent figuring out how to retrofit （翻新）their farms.
     They also complain that the regulations on the law are not set.But the California Department of Food and Agriculture，which has yet to finalize the regulations，says that the delay should not have prevented producers from retrofitting their housing for breeding pigs.The agency has publicly posted draft regulations，which mostly concern record-keeping，certification and definitions of terms.
     For fans of bacon and other pork，any rise in cost is the price of not having a pig suffer before it's killed for food.It's a price the animals shouldn't have to pay.
  
  （1）What do we know about Proposition 12？

  
  A．The law will come into force next year.
  B．More space is required for raising hens and pigs.
  C．Raising hens and pigs in limited space is humane.
  D．Half of the state's voters subscribed to Proposition 12.
  （2）What does the underlined word "pledged" in paragraph 3 mean？

  
  A．Suspect.
  B．Refuse.
  C．Promise.
  D．Hesitate.
  （3）Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 3？

  
  A．Some pork producers have raised the price of pork.
  B．All the pork producers don't comply with the law.
  C．Pork producers have wasted a lot of time retrofitting their farms.
  D．Pork producers resist the Commerce Clause of the Constitution.
  （4）Which word can best describe the author's attitude to the new animal welfare laws？

  
  A．Skeptical.
  B．Conservative
  C．Tolerant.
  D．Favorable.

第二節(jié)：讀后續(xù)寫（滿分25分）

• 9．I needed to do something in my community in order to complete the community service hours required to graduate from high school.Some of my friends had signed up to spend time at a soup kitchen，so I did，too.It seemed like a good thing to do.
     I thought that we would just be passing out dinners to those in need，but I found out we would be doing everything from preparing to serving the dinner.We began preparing the food，from mixing salad dressing to separating frozen meat.Much still needed to be done before dinner was served，but already outside the building many homeless people were gathering.It wasn't until a couple of hours later that we opened the doors and began serving dinner.
     As the line of people came toward me，I got a little scared.I'd come face to face with the homeless.How should I act？How would they treat me？Would they hate me for having more than they did？While some of the people looked very friendly，some of them looked so dangerous.I didn't have too much time to worry about it.I was assigned （分配） to serve the salad with the lady next to me.She smiled at me and said if I needed help，she'd be right there，which I found quite comforting.
     I had never seen so many people wanting food.They were of all ages and nationalities.Most of them wore clothes that were torn and dirty.Some looked like they had totally given up on life，while others seemed to be making the best of the situation，smiling and joking.Some were better off than others，but they all needed a good meal and a warm place to eat.It saddened me to think of how many people there were who didn't have a place to call home and the only food they got came from a soup kitchen.

  （1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右：

  I was so happy that I had earned my service hours in this way.
