Ladies and gentlemen,
Thank you very much for coming to this concert. I hope you have enjoyed the music. The purpose (目的) of this concert is to raise money for children in Africa. Every day, hundreds of children in Africa die because they have illnesses or don’t have enough food to eat. There are two main reasons.
First, there are no jobs for the children’s parents, so they have no money to buy food or medicine. Second, the governments in many African countries do not have the money to take care of poor people. Most African countries are poor. Because the land is not good for growing food and the weather is also bad for farming. The organization (组织) we are trying to help—the Feed Africa Fund, spends a lot of money every year on food for poor people in Africa. The money comes from people like you-kind, generous people who do not want to see children die from hunger, and are ready to give their money to them easily. Just one dollar can buy enough rice or corn to feed a family of four for three days.
How much do you spend on food every day Ten dollars Twenty dollars I am sure you can spend a little less on your own food so that you have a few dollars for the Feed Africa Fund.
Ladies and gentlemen, we will now take a collection. Please be generous. Thank you.
21. What will the money be raised for
A. Children without parents. B. Children without food.
C. Countries without money. D. Countries with bad weather.
22. How long could the money feed four people if a person gave five dollars
A. For three days. B. For one week. C. For half a month. D. For one month.
23. What does the underlined word “generous” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. 慷慨的 B. 吝啬的 C. 客气的 D. 生气的
24. Why are most African countries so poor
A. Because the weather is bad for farming. B. Because the land is not good for growing food.
C. Because the governments have no money. D. Both A and B.
25. What is the passage mainly about
A. To call on people to give money to African children.
B. To collect enough food for African children.
C. To collect enough school things for African children.
D. To collect enough clothes for African children.
D

【答案】范文：
One Earth, One Home
The earth is home to both humans and wild animals. But today wild animals are facing serious problems because of humans. People often cut down trees and forests for money. What’s worse, people kill animals for their fur or bones. So many animals are in danger.
It’s time for us to save the earth and the wild animals. If we take action to protect our earth and animals right away, our earth will become comfortable for us to live in and animals can live happily. Otherwise, terrible things will happen.
First, as students, we can try to be volunteers. What’s more, we shouldn’t buy fur coats anymore. Last but not least, we should make more people understand the importance of protecting the earth and loving the animals.
Let’s act together to make a more beautiful home for us humans and animals as well.
