Passage A
Peter Huszcz once taught in an agricultural college. In the 1990s, he moved to Canada. Peter started out washing dishes in a restaurant in downtown Ottawa. When the manager asked him to help out rolling meatballs in the kitchen, he soon 1earned how to do the job very well. But it was boring and Peter suggested that the manager should buy a meatball-making machine. When the manager told him there was no such thing as a meatball maker, Peter was quick to notice that something was missing in the market. Putting his engineering knowledge to good use, he quickly came up with a simple method—the Magic Meatball Maker.
He was sure there was a market for his machine. but it took him ten years of hard work to find it．He had to take risks, but he believed in his idea, and he managed to persuade other people to believe in him too.

Passage B
“Hello, Earth! Can you hear me?”That’s the voice more than 400,000 people received recently. It was from philae, a space vehicle that landed on a comet in 2014. However, its transmissions (传送信号) back home went silent since then．
It took a 1ong time for Philae to make its way across the solar system and reach comet 67P/C-G. The pace vehicle got there aboard the Rosetta probe (探测器), which has been circling around the comet since Philae separated from it in November, 2014．
Philae’s job was to collect materials to study the comet’s composition. And for about two and a half days after landing, it did just that, sending the information back to scientists on Earth. But Philae’s landing on the comet’s icy surface had not been smooth. While touching down, it jumped up and ended up in the shadow of something like a huge rock. Philae runs on solar power, but there was no light in the place where it landed. In the end, it failed to work．
However，as comet 67P/C-G moved closer to the sun, more sunlight reached the space vehicle, allowing it to power up and come back online. Philae then sent something to Rosetta, which passed on the information back to Earth.
“We only received the information for about 85 seconds, but that’s enough to let us know it is alive and well,”says Stephan Ulamec, who works for the European Space Agency.“We hope to work out where it landed exactly on the 4-kilometer-wide comet. Now we plan to change how Rosetta moves so that Philae can keep on communicating and receiving instructions.”
25. Hearing Philae’s voice，those people must have felt .
A. afraid B. calm C. excited D. worried.
26. According to the text, Philae .
A. was damaged when it landed B. moved around comet 67P/C-G
C. needs light and gas to keep working D. helps scientists learn about a comet
27.What Stephan says in the text suggests that .
A. Rosetta will move around another comet
B. Philae will continue to work for scientists
C. most comets are as wide as four kilometers
D. he wonders whether Philae is still alive
28. What does the author mainly talk about in the text?
A. A sleeping space vehicle wakes up．
B. It is very dangerous to travel in space.
C. A new comet was discovered recently.
D. Philae was sent into space successfully.

Passage D
My name is Leanna Deeds, and I am blind. I have a bachelor's degree ( 学士学位) in journalism. However, my journalism career lasted ten months. I could not have a better job
because I could not see. So when I was offered a full-time job as a secretary for the Office for Students with Disabilities at Portland Community College (PCC), I took it. However, I'm sure that my experience with higher education, and my understanding of how it works, was one of the reasons I was employed, and I know my college education has helped me over the years.
Technology has also helped me overcome difficulties. I learned to read with an optacon（盲人阅读器）, an electronic reading device ( 装置) which allows blind people to read printed material.
I achieved a great deal in my career today through perseverance (坚持不懈) and hard work. I believe people with disabilities, above all, must learn the value of hard work because they must work harder at everything they do than other people.
I have a good attendance record at work. It has served me well. People with disabilities have fewer other duties in life because there are some things they can't do. So, once they have a job, they can go to work every day.
I have used initiative (主动性) at work to solve problems, especially my own. Since I have always worked with people, I collect information at work, and I use it to help them. I solve many small problems for people every day.
People with disabilities, and all people, should learn the system, respect it, and make it work well for them. I have done that all my life. As the years passed, I decided that continuing to work for PCC would be easier than starting over
with another employer because I am known for what I can do.
Advice I would give to others with disabilities who are starting to plan their careers or look for employment: Always do your best. Take advantage of any opportunities that come your way. Use technology to help you. When you get a job, stick to it.
32. According to the passage, Leanna Deeds _____.
A. worked as a journalist for a year
B. puts a value on her college education
C. graduated from PCC with a bachelor's degree
D. heads the Office for Students with Disabilities at PCC
33. Leanna Deeds made achievements in her career by _____.
A. working hard B. going to work every day
C. solving technological problems D. finding new employment every year
34. How does Leanna Deeds find her work in PCC?
A. She considers it a boring job. B. She can do it with skill and ease.
C. She loves it though it's quite tiring. D. She finds it hard to please her employer.
35. What does Leanna Deeds mainly intend to tell us?
A. All roads lead to Rome.
B. Wherever you are, you can succeed.
C. Work hard, try your best and stick to it.
D. However hard it is, you should never give up.

Many people enjoy taking trips by themselves. Unluckily, they do not always have the best 41 . Instead, people should consider group tours. Taking a group tour is a wise choice for people to 42 themselves．
First, group tours plan travelers’ routes, so people don’t have to 43 where they are going next or how they are getting there. They can just 44 and enjoy their trip. 45, my family once took a group tour to China. The travel agency (旅行社) 46 everything for us. We just looked at the schedule the travel agency had 47 and followed it. Thanks to the travel agency, we had a 48 trip.
