In October 2023, volunteers sent a small green sea turtle to the Sea Turtle Care Center at an aquarium (水
族館) in South Carolina. The turtle, Ricotta, got trapped in a fishing line, and lost a front flipper (鰭). People
found more fishing lines in the turtle’s body.
Ricotta was not the only one. Since the care center opened in 2000, workers there have seen many turtles
like Ricotta. Some turtles’ injuries (傷害) came from boat strikes and animal bites.
“The best part about my job is that every day is different,” says Grace Buschiazzo, a biologist at the Sea
Turtle Care Center. “Whatever the sea turtles need from me, I’m going to do it.” At the age of 15, Buschiazzo
volunteered for a project. It helped protect sea turtle eggs. That was when she fell in love with sea turtles.
Buschiazzo recommends that kids can volunteer just like her if they are interested in sea turtles. “You can
do it at an aquarium,” she says. “You can also do it at a local animal center. There are lots of ways to help sea
turtles.”
Buschiazzo makes the turtles’ meals and makes sure they stay healthy. She does everything she can to help
the turtles get better.
Since 2000, the team at the Sea Turtle Care Center has successfully treated and released more than 400 sea
turtles. And that’s another thing Buschiazzo loves about her job: getting to see how people save the turtles’ lives
and help them go back into the sea.

（23-24 八年級下·江蘇南京·期末）Greg Mortenson is an adventurer who once loved to climb mountains.
Born in 1957, he grew up on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa. After his sister Christa died in
1992, he decided to try climbing Pakistan’s K2, the second-highest mountain in the world, in her memory.
Although Mount Qomolangma is higher, K2 is thought to be more difficult and dangerous to climb. When he tried
to climb the mountain in 1993, snow, ice, and bad weather made Mortenson turn back.
Mortenson recovered from frostbite and tiredness in a Pakistan village of Korphe. There he saw a group of
children writing in the dirt with sticks. He learned that they had no pens or pencils, no books—not even a school
or a teacher. Mortenson planned to build them a school. But at that moment he had no idea how he would make it.
It took years to raise the money to build the school. Some American schoolchildren also donated their
pocket money to Mortenson’s project. Mortenson even sold his personal things to raise money. The Korphe
School was finished in 1996.

①RVs (旅行房車) are a great way to tour the country and see the sights, but thanks to one father-daughter
team, they’ve helped people who’ve lost their homes in California’s latest wildfires.
②The idea of Woody Faircloth, EmergencyRV Organization connects people who are willing to donate
their RVs to those in need. So far, Faircloth with his daughter Luna along for the ride — has sent 95 RVs to
California area wildfire victims (受害者). Otherwise they might wait months for emergency housing (應急居所).
③Faircloth first got the idea for the organization in 2018. Like many that year, the father was touched by
the news of California’s deadly Camp Fire that burnt hundreds of homes during Thanksgiving week. The story of
a man who lost almost everything but managed to survive the fire in his mobile home impressed Faircloth. Then
he asked Luna what she thought about finding an RV and sending it to a family, so they could have a place to call
home for Christmas, and she was 100% on board.
④Faircloth started a GoFundMe activity to provide money for the first RV that he and Luna sent to
California. As the news of their journey spread, people started reaching out to him, offering to donate their RVs
— and from there, EmergencyRV Organization soon formed. All the people think what Faircloth did will make a
difference to those in need. It’s hoped that these donations can help more people.
⑤Many of those who receive mobile homes are firefighters. Their tireless work in fighting the fire did not
prevent their own homes from burning. One such man is George Wolley, who lost his own home in the Dixie Fire
on August 4th. He said, “Before I got that RV, I felt like I was a burden (負擔) on everybody that helped me... I
slept a lot in tents and in my car. It gave me a place to go.”
⑥Faircloth’s organization continues to grow. He’s thankful for the many things he has and happy to be in a
position to help others.
1．EmergencyRV Organization was started to ________.
A．teach people ways to prevent fires B．raise money to buy emergency cars
C．provide housing for wildfire victims D．collect and sell second-hand cars
2．What gave Faircloth the idea to set up the organization
A．His interview with a man surviving a fire. B．The news about a terrible fire.
C．His own experience of a wildfire. D．Donations from people to victims.
3．How did people feel about Faircloth’s behaviour
A．Angry. B．Excited. C．Worried. D．Hopeful.
4．Why was Wolley mentioned (提及) in the text
A．To explain the danger of wildfires. B．To introduce the work of firefighters.
C．To show the burden on car owners. D．To give an example of RVs’ receiver.

2． 細節理解題。根據“Bostic hurried the four girls into the fresh air.”以及“By now, the whole side of the house
was on fire. Bostic went upstairs. He searched every bedroom. No kid. The smoke was thick now”可知，Bostic 先
催促四個女孩呼吸新鮮空氣，接著去屋子里尋找 Kaylani，即前兩個事件順序為 bc，排除 ACD。故選 B。
3．推理判斷題。根據“Bostic and Kaylani looked down. The girl said ‘...’ He was thinking the exact same thing.”
和“But they had little choice. The flames were coming ever closer. Holding Kaylani in one arm, Bostic ran
forward and threw himself out of the window(但他們別無選擇。火焰越來越近了。Bostic 緊緊地抱著 Kaylani，
向前跑去，從窗戶跳了出去。)”可知此時他們的選擇只有跳出窗外。選項 D“我可不想從窗戶跳下去”符合
語境。故選 D。

It was a hot day. Mark and Timo were glad that they weren’t lugging (用 力 拖 ) cans today. It was
Wednesday yesterday, and it took hours to get all of the cans they had saved to the recycling center.
Today, the boys had to know how much money they got and what to do with it. They talked about bikes
and basketballs. They dreamed about rockets and hot air balloons (氣球).
As they walked, Mark bent over and picked up a can without even thinking about it. When he saw the can
in his hand, he laughed.
“Old habits die hard,” Timo said. “Maybe we had better buy more rubbish bags!”
Mark and Timo were still laughing about picking up cans when they caught up with Mr. Timmons.
“Hi. Mr. Timmons,” smiled Timo, “Where are you heading ”
Mr. Timmons seemed pleased to see them. “Well, I’m on my way to help at the food pantry (食品柜).”
“What goes on there ” Mark asked.
“Oh, they always need to help pack or unpack cans of food,” Mr. Timmons answered, “The pantry helps
those people who don’t have enough money to buy food.”

recycling center.”可知，Mark 和 Timo 星期三那天把撿的易拉罐賣給了回收中心，故選 C。

結合第六段“Mr. Timmons seemed pleased to see them. ‘Well, I’m on my way to help at the food pantry (食品
柜).’ ’”可知，Mark 和 Timo 遇見 Timmons 先生那天，他正在去食品柜的路上，由此推測，Thomas 先生是

（23-24 八年級下·江蘇南京·期末）Greg Mortenson is an adventurer who once loved to climb mountains.
Born in 1957, he grew up on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa. After his sister Christa died in
1992, he decided to try climbing Pakistan’s K2, the second-highest mountain in the world, in her memory.
Although Mount Qomolangma is higher, K2 is thought to be more difficult and dangerous to climb. When he tried

children writing in the dirt with sticks. He learned that they had no pens or pencils, no books—not even a school
or a teacher. Mortenson planned to build them a school. But at that moment he had no idea how he would make it.
It took years to raise the money to build the school. Some American schoolchildren also donated their
pocket money to Mortenson’s project. Mortenson even sold his personal things to raise money. The Korphe
School was finished in 1996.

①RVs (旅行房車) are a great way to tour the country and see the sights, but thanks to one father-daughter
team, they’ve helped people who’ve lost their homes in California’s latest wildfires.
②The idea of Woody Faircloth, EmergencyRV Organization connects people who are willing to donate
their RVs to those in need. So far, Faircloth with his daughter Luna along for the ride — has sent 95 RVs to
California area wildfire victims (受害者). Otherwise they might wait months for emergency housing (應急居所).
③Faircloth first got the idea for the organization in 2018. Like many that year, the father was touched by
the news of California’s deadly Camp Fire that burnt hundreds of homes during Thanksgiving week. The story of
a man who lost almost everything but managed to survive the fire in his mobile home impressed Faircloth. Then
he asked Luna what she thought about finding an RV and sending it to a family, so they could have a place to call
home for Christmas, and she was 100% on board.
④Faircloth started a GoFundMe activity to provide money for the first RV that he and Luna sent to
California. As the news of their journey spread, people started reaching out to him, offering to donate their RVs
— and from there, EmergencyRV Organization soon formed. All the people think what Faircloth did will make a
difference to those in need. It’s hoped that these donations can help more people.
⑤Many of those who receive mobile homes are firefighters. Their tireless work in fighting the fire did not
prevent their own homes from burning. One such man is George Wolley, who lost his own home in the Dixie Fire
on August 4th. He said, “Before I got that RV, I felt like I was a burden (負擔) on everybody that helped me... I
slept a lot in tents and in my car. It gave me a place to go.”
⑥Faircloth’s organization continues to grow. He’s thankful for the many things he has and happy to be in a
position to help others.
1．EmergencyRV Organization was started to ________.
A．teach people ways to prevent fires B．raise money to buy emergency cars
C．provide housing for wildfire victims D．collect and sell second-hand cars
2．What gave Faircloth the idea to set up the organization
A．His interview with a man surviving a fire. B．The news about a terrible fire.
C．His own experience of a wildfire. D．Donations from people to victims.
3．How did people feel about Faircloth’s behaviour
A．Angry. B．Excited. C．Worried. D．Hopeful.
4．Why was Wolley mentioned (提及) in the text
A．To explain the danger of wildfires. B．To introduce the work of firefighters.
C．To show the burden on car owners. D．To give an example of RVs’ receiver.

A．
B．
C． D．
【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．D 5．D

2．細節理解題。根據“Faircloth first got the idea for the organization in 2018. Like many that year, the father was
touched by the news of California’s deadly Camp Fire that burnt hundreds of homes during Thanksgiving week.”
可知，營火燒毀了數百所房屋的消息令這位父親深受感動，所以建立了這個組織。故選 B。
3．推理判斷題。根據“All the people think what Faircloth did will make a difference to those in need. It’s hoped
that these donations can help more people.”可知，所有人希望這些捐款能夠幫助到更多的人，所以 Faircloth
的行為是充滿希望的。故選 D。

4th.”可知，這是舉的一個房車接收的例子。故選 D。
