Unit 1 Building the future 在美国的弗吉尼亚州，有一个特殊的农场———Volunteer Farm，它由来自各地的志愿者来打理，为许多买不起食物的人们提供新鲜的蔬菜和水果。 Volunteer Farm feeds the hungry Hunger in the United States is nothing compared to hunger in some parts of the world.Yet 10 million American households report that they do not always know where they will find their next meal. The report by Feeding America，the largest hunger?relief charity in the US，also says that each week，more than 5.5 million Americans turn to emergency food sources.Most of what they find in charities is bottled，canned or dry goods. But at the Volunteer Farm in Virginia，fresh food is being harvested to feed the hungry. As its name suggests，the farm relies on volunteers to weed，plant and harvest.During the past seven years the farm has had over 10，000 volunteers.They have come from nearly every US state and 26 foreign countries. One day，a group from Tinkling Springs Church drove more than 100 kilometers to collect potatoes from a field.The majority of the volunteers，more than 50，were children. Harriet，one of the church leaders，says that after a few hours' working in the sun，“the children go to bed，tired，but they know in a very physical and practical way that they have made a difference”. Produce from the Volunteer Farm is distributed through large food banks. “We received last year，about 71，000 pounds of fresh produce from the Volunteer Farm，”says Teresa，Director of Virginia Food Bank. She says fruits and vegetables are important for proper nutrition.“They are healthier，so much better for children's bodies and we are able to provide so much with the Volunteer Farm.” [诱思导读] 1．People get the produce from the Volunteer Farm directly.( ) 2．All the volunteers for the Volunteer Farm come from the USA.( ) 【答案】 1.F 2.F Ⅰ.词义搭配 1．gravity A．a business companyor organization 2．wrestle B．a situation in which you have to make a difficult decision 3．dilemma C．the force that makes sth.fall to the ground 4．permanent D．happening or existing for a long time or for all time in the future 5．framework E．struggle to deal with sth.that is difficult 6．enterprise F．the structure of a particular system 【答案】 1.C 2.E 3.B 4.D 5.F 6.A Ⅱ.短语填空 put pressure on；on top of；at risk；without doubt；at a crossroads；be dependent on；take place 1． everything else，my car's been stolen. 2．Advertisements girls to be thin. 3．If we go to war，innocent lives will be put ． 4．His life was when he quit his job. 5．A child's development many factors. 6．The Olympic Games of 2012 in London. 【答案】 1.On top of 2.put pressure on 3.at risk 4．at a crossroads 5.is dependent on 6.took place Ⅲ.背诵下列教材中出现的句型，体会黑体部分的用法 1．These things provide a framework for new jobs to be created, allowing people to help themselves so that they no longer need to depend on others. 这些事业给创造新工作构架提供了机会，以便使人们 ... ...
