Unit 5 Travelling abroad阅读提速练 阅读理解A（2018重庆重点中学协作体高考适应性考试）Have you heard of the following people？Maybe yes，maybe no.But they may be an inspiration for you.The Tree LadyKate Sessions was an American botanist and landscape architect closely associated with San Diego，California.After being the first woman to graduate from the University of California，Berkeley，she took a job as a teacher far south in the dry desert town of San Diego.Kate decided that San Diego needed trees more than anything else.Therefore this young woman singlehandedly started a movement transforming the town into the leafy，gardenfilled place as it is today.The Snowflake（雪花） ManWilson Bentley is one of the first known photographers of snowflakes.His enthusiasm for taking photos of snowflakes began from his boyhood and was often misunderstood in his time，but his determination revealed two important truths：no two snowflakes are alike；and each one is surprisingly beautiful.In 1931，he worked with William J.Humphreys of the U.S.Weather Bureau to publish Snow Crystals，a book containing 2，500 photographs.The Father of His CountryBy the late 1760s，George Washington had experienced firsthand the effects of rising taxes imposed（征收） on American colonists by the British，and came to believe that it was in the best interests of the colonists to declare independence from England.During the American War of Independence，he led the colonial forces to victory.In 1787，he was elected president of the Convention that wrote the U.S.Constitution.Two years later，Washington became Americas first president.His retirement from office after two terms established a tradition that lasted until 1940，when Franklin Delano Roosevelt won a third term.The 22nd Amendment（1951） now limits the president to two elected terms.【解题导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了三位鼓舞人心的名人。1.Who made a great contribution to beautifying an area？A.George Washington.B.Wilson Bentley.C.Kate Sessions.D.William J.Humphreys.C解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“this young

myself， I wanted to meet people and have new experiences so I decided to start volunteering.I searched on my puter and found a website where I could volunteer on a farm in France.My time working on a farm was a new experience for me.It was basically a free holiday as food and acmodation were provided.However，it was not your typical holiday as I had to look after fifteen horses and sleep at the top of a tower in a castle！I was an awful farmer but it did not matter because I made some great friends.However，you do not need to go abroad to volunteer.I have had plenty of adventures at home as volunteering can bee a hobby.For example，I love singing so I had a good laugh waving my arms in an attempt to conduct my local choir.I did slowly improve and it felt great to conduct the choir in a concert.At university，I organised a concert for charity with my friends.It was really fun founding bands and raising money for a cause we believe in.It is true that you feel good volunteering but there are also other advantages.I once volunteered as a server at a charity sports event where the organizers gave me cupcakes to thank me for my services.I also volunteered in a charity shop so I found loads of nice cheap clothes to update my wardrobe（衣柜）.While this is all fun，my favourite aspect of volunteering is creating and sharing stories.My terrible attempts at farming have given me hilarious stories to tell！Talking to volunteers from different countries and backgrounds has also helped me learn more about the world.I feel thankful to have had so much fun with many nice people
