Josh Morrison，17，dreamed of raising $100，000 to build a home for a low-income family.After years of hard work，his dream has come true.The house is now in the early stages of building.
Six years ago，Josh and his dad went into a Habitat for Humanity Restore，a home improvement store and donation center run by the nonprofit organization.They were there to buy a sink.Josh，then 11，also noticed a collection of pernnies.“I instantly felt the urge to help out with that，”he said.Josh set a fundraising(筹款) deadline of four years.Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of $100，000，but it didn't shake his faith.He raised money at his school and other nearby schools.He collected money from neighbors，got publicity from local newspapers，and placed cans in stores so that people could donate extra change.
Josh's fundraising efforts began to produce results.Still，there were challenges.Four months before his deadline，he was $30，000 short.He decided to hold a Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner in Uxbridge，which is in the province of Ontario.The event raised $19，000.
“I didn't care how long it took me，”Josh said.“I would raise $100，000.”With three weeks left，a company called Josh's house，offering to donate $18，000.Eventually，Josh reached a total of $124，000 before his deadline.“The momentum just kept going，and we decided to do more，”he said.“Josh's Penny House” is being built by Habitat for Humanity in the city of Oshawa，along with 24 new townhouses.Josh has helped with some of the construction，as have other volunteers.He will choose the family that moves into the unit.
Next year，the 17-year-old will head to college in British Columbia，Canada's westernmost province.As a 11-year-old kid when starting fundraising，Josh was able to send a powerful message across the world.No matter how old you are，if you have a dream and are willing to do anything to achieve it，it can come true.

1．Which word can best describe Josh Morrison in Paragraph 2? A．Straightforward. C．Determined.
B．Open-minded. D．Cautious.
C [考查推理判断。结合文中对Josh Morrison筹款过程的描述以及第二段中的Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of $100, 000, but it didn't shake his faith.可知，尽管很多人怀疑他是不是能在四年中完成这件事，但是他信念坚定。由此可见他是“意志坚定的”。]
2．Why was the Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner event in Uxbridge held? A．To call for more attention. B．To attain his goal.
C．To win approval from the locals. D．To find sponsors for a family.
B [考查细节理解。根据第二段中的his goal of $100, 000和第三段的内容可知，在截止日期前的四个月，离他的筹款目标还差30, 000美元，于是他决定举办这个活动来达到目标。]
3．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean? A．His project became more popular. B．He received continuous donations. C．The result was beyond expectations. D．He got more support from the company.

4．What will be the best title of the text? A．An Astonishing Fundraiser B．A Boy with a Warm Heart C．Kindness from a Company
D．The Penny House Dream
D [考查标题判断。文章主要讲述了一个11岁的少年经过几年不懈的努力，实现为低收入家庭募捐建房的梦想的经历。本文提到的Josh's Penny House是解题的暗示。钱是Josh一分分筹来的，因此本文最佳标题是D。]
B (2019·石家庄市质检)
While visiting the North Pole in winter may not be at the top of your bucket list，the ever-changing ICEHOTEL，which opened its doors to visitors on December 14 this year，may change your mind.200 km north of the Aretic Cirele in the Swedish village of Jukkasj?rvi，the hotel，which is carved entirely from ice，is rebuilt annually.
The 35 rooms，built to accommodate visitors on all kinds of budgets，vary from expensive suites to basic rooms that are furnished with just an icy bed and a reindeer skin.Among the highlights this year is the “Spruce Woods” suite.Sculpted by Christopher Pascoe and Jennie O'Keefe of Canada，it describes a camping scene complete with a classic microbus，a forest，and even an artificial campfire.
There is also the artfully-carved“Living Ocean” suite to remind visitors of the importance of saving our oceans.The room is full of carved sea life that includes coral and a shark “swimming”right over the ice bed.“The suite is inspired by global warming and the overfishing that affects our oceans，”says artist Jonathan Paul Green.“I also think the idea of using frozen water from a river in northern Sweden to create an ocean with shells，fish，and coral is exciting.”
The nearby “Haven” suite is a “magical gate of ice” guarded by two large animals.“We are inspired by the meeting between people and want to create an experience that stimulates curiosity and creativity，”says artist Jonas Johansson.“It feels like a dream to get to work with ice that allows our love for light，shine，and reflection to wander freely from thought to creation.”
Regardless of whether visitors select the carved suites or the basic ice rooms，the temperature is always set to a bone-chilling －5℃！That is why guests are advised to snuggle(蜷伏) up inside sleeping bags and wear gloves and winter hats all night.Not surprisingly，most end up spending just a single night at this unique hotel before moving on to the conventional and warmer hotels nearby.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了北极圈的一家用冰建成的旅馆。
5．What does the underlined phrase“bucket list” mean in the text? A．A shopping list of buckets. B．A list of travelling destinations. C．A list of expensive hotels. D．A list of exciting ideas.
B [考查词义猜测。根据第一段第一句可知，虽然冬天去北极旅游可能不是你的首选，但这家不断变化的冰旅馆可能会改变你的想法；该旅馆于今年12月14日向游客开放。由该句中的visiting the North Pole; the ever-changing ICEHOTEL; visitors，并结合语境可推知，画线词意为“旅游目的地的列表”，故B项正确。]
6．What can we know about the icehotel? A．It is rebuilt every year. B．Its rooms are expensive. C．It organizes camping activities. D．It lies in a coastal city.
A [考查细节理解。根据第一段第二句可知，这家完全由冰雕刻而成的宾馆每年都会重建，故A项正确。]
7．Where does the inspiration of “Living Ocean” suite come from? A．Art and literature. B．Ocean life and voyages.
C．Climate change and human influence. D．The meeting of people.
C [考查细节理解。根据第三段第三句可知，这间套房的灵感来自全球变暖和影响海洋的过度捕捞，故C项正确。]
8．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．An Adventure to the North Pole B．An Experience Chose to Nature C．A Taste of Cold；A Night in a Village D．A Winter Destination：Sweden's Icehotel
