When Veronika Scott was a student at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan, she received a task to “design to fill a need.” She dreamed up an idea for overcoats that would double as sleeping bags, made 25 of them, and handed them out to people living in shelters on an abandoned city playground. While her efforts were greeted mostly with enthusiasm from those braving Detroit’s cold winters, one woman voiced dissatisfaction. “We don’t need coats; we need jobs,” she told Veronika. Then she had her second inspiration.
After graduating from college in 2012, Veronika founded the Empowerment Plan, a nonprofit organization. She hired two homeless women to sew the coats and paid them with donations she received through her blog. Now, the Empowerment Plan employs about 20 people and has produced more than 10,000 coats and distributed them in 30 states, Canada, and elsewhere abroad.
“We don’t require previous employment,” Veronika says. “We’re looking for people who are motivated.” The Empowerment Plan provides free classes and lends money to those who qualify. Nearly all the employees eventually move into permanent housing, and some go on to jobs in the auto industry and construction.
Veronika has bettered the coat’s design by making its outer layer of a lightweight material that resists air, wind, and water and its inner layer of a material that stores body
heat. Still, Veronika is less focused on the coats than on the workers who make them. “At the end of the day,” she says, “the coat is a vehicle for us to employ people.”
24. What was Veronika’s second inspiration?
A. Improving her coat’s design.
B. Founding a nonprofit organization.
C. Profiting from the work of those low-paid people.
D. Producing more coats and distributing them abroad.
25. What is the purpose of the Empowerment Plan?
A. To raise more donations.
B. To design better clothes.
C. To provide help for the homeless.
D. To offer free classes to the motivated.
26. Which of the following best describes Veronika?
A. Traditional but helpful B. Greedy and unsatisfied.
C. Generous but childish. D. Creative and caring.
27. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. Design to Fill a Need. B. The Empowerment Plan.
C. Look for Motivated People. D. How to design a coat.

Feeling blue about the world? “Cheer up.” says science writer Matt Ridley. “The world has never been a better place to live in, and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for nature.”
Ridley calls himself a rational optimist—rational, because he's carefully weighed the evidence; optimistic, because that evidence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and good. And this is what he's set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent book, The Rational Optimist. He views mankind as a grand enterprise that, on the whole, has done little but progress for 100,000 years. He backs his findings with hard facts gathered through years of research.
Here's how he explains his views.
1 ) Shopping fuels invention
It is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London alone. Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty, our own generation has access to more nutritious food, more convenient transport, bigger houses, better cars, and, of course, more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us. This will continue as long as we use these things to make other things. The more we specialize and exchange, the better off we'll be.
2) Brilliant advances
One reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longerlived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needs—food, clothing, fuel and shelter—have grown a lot cheaper. Take one example. In 1800 a candle providing one hour's light cost six hours' work. In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes' work to pay for. In 1950 it was eight seconds. Today it's half second.
3 ) Let's not kill ourselves for climate change
Mitigating (减轻) climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare as climate change itself. A child that dies from indoor smoke in a village, where the use of fossilfuel (化石燃料) electricity is forbidden by wellmeaning members of green political movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate change. If climate change proves to be mild, but cutting carbon causes real pain, we may well find that we have stopped a nosebleed by putting a tourniquet (止血带) around our necks.
28. What is the theme of Ridley's most recent book?
A. Optimism about human progress. B. Concern about climate change.
C. Importance of practical thinking. D. Weakness of human nature.
29. How does Ridley look at shopping?
A. It demands more fossil fuels. B. It results in shortage of goods.
C. It encourages the creation of things. D. It causes a poverty problem.
30. The candle and lamp example is used to show that ________.
A. oil lamps give off more light than candles
B. increased production rate leads to lower cost of goods
C. advanced technology helps to produce better candles
D. shortening working time brings about a happier life
31. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?
A. Cutting carbon is necessary in spite of the huge cost.
B. People's health is closely related to climate change.
C. Overreaction to climate change may be dangerous.
D. Careless medical treatment may cause great pain.
D
When emergency workers arrive at an old firehouse in New York City, the way they greet each other is not what you might expect. These first responders say," Ni Hao ! " "Ni Hao" means "hello" in Mandarin Chinese.
First responders are the first emergency workers to arrive at a fire, traffic accident or other emergency. Some first responders are fire fighters, while others can be Emergency Medical Technicians.
In Brooklyn, New York, over 20 first responders are studying Mandarin Chinese for about two hours a week. The class is the first of its kind. It is offered by the New York City Fire Department Foundation.
The U. S. Census Bureau recently reported that some New York neighborhoods are made up mostly of immigrants. Some people have predicted that the Chinese community is likely to become New York's largest immigrant group. They think the city will have' the largest Chinese community outside of Asia.
The Census Bureau also found that almost 200 languages are spoken in the city. So, knowing different languages is important, especially if you are a first responder.
Lieutenant(中尉,少尉) Steve Lee is president of the Fire Department's Phoenix Society. He says that first responders must be able to communicate quickly and effectively when an emergency happens. He explains that first responders enter neighborhoods and communities to assist regardless of where they are from. Many times first responders do not speak the same language as the people they are called to help. He adds that it is vital, or very important, that first responders are able to communicate with the people calling for help.
Without help from homeowners and others, Lee adds, discovering exactly where a fire is burning can be a real problem. First responders need to ask questions such as "What building? What address? What apartment?" And the most important question," Is there anybody left in the building and where?"
32.Who are first responders according to Paragraph 2?
A. People first learning the disaster. B. Persons leading the emergency rescue.
C. Rescuers first reaching the disaster D. People first find the disaster.
33.Why are the first responders in New York studying the Chinese language?
A. To show respect to the Chinese immigrants.
B. To learn about Chinese cultures much better.
C. To meet the rapid growth of Chinese population.
D. To find a better job in Chinese community.
34.What do first responders concern most?
A. The place where the fire occurs. B. The people trapped in the fire.
C. The language to communicate. D. The distance covered to the fire.
35.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Mandarin Being a Must for Emergency Workers.
B. New York's Emergency Crews Learning Mandarin.
C. Language Problem Disturbing First Responders' Work.
D. Importance of Languages Used in Emergency Rescue

Parents Model Healthy Eating
It should come as no surprise that the more stressed parents are at work, the greater the burden on their family is. 36 After all, the more time parents spend working, the less time and energy they have to plan and prepare healthful meals.
For years, most studies have focused on the role of working mothers while fathers were ignored. They didn’t look at the family as a whole. 37 , adds a new wrinkle(褶皱)to the relationship between work stress and family nutrition.
Mom’s work related stress is still a central factor in low well families eat because they typically do most of the food shopping and cooking. 38 The study found that when mom or dad experience high levels of work related stress, their families are eating one-and-a-half fewer family meals per week, and the parents themselves report eating
fewer fruits and vegetables, more fast food, and are less likely to eat breakfast regularly.
It’s worth nothing that the study looked mainly at low income families who belonged to ethnic(民族的)or minority groups. 39 But the implications are wide ranging.
40 Teaching kids, especially teenagers, to help with grocery shopping and to cook actual meals, instead of just putting a frozen pizza in the microwave, could be an important piece of the puzzle in helping families improves their eating habits.
A. And the role of fathers in particular
B. But dad’s work related stress has a large impact, too.
C. Yet, the kids’ stress may influence the families’ nutrition, too.
D. So the findings don’t necessarily apply directly to other types of families.
E. When it comes to family nutrition, the entire family plays a role even kids.
F. It’s also probably not a surprise that this can negatively affect a family’s nutrition.
G. It is parents who give their kids a good model to develop a good eating habit.

66.Seeing 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处应用非谓语动词,动词see和其逻辑主语I之间是主动关系,所以要用现在分词作状语,故填Seeing。
67.a 考查冠词。quote是可数名词,意为“引语;引文”,而且此处表示泛指概念,故填不定冠词a。
68.be blessed 考查非谓语动词。此处表述很快就轮到“我”收到这种方式的祝福。It is one's turn to do sth.为固定句型,意为“轮到某人去做某事”,根据句意可知,此句中“我”和bless之间是被动关系,应用不定式的被动形式,故填be blessed。
69.which 考查定语从句的引导词。两个句子中没有连词,该空指代前面一句话的内容,而且在从句中作主语,所以此处应用which引导非限制性定语从句,故填which。
70.times 考查名词的复数。当作“时光;岁月”讲时,time为可数名词;“one of+the+形容词最高级+可数名词复数”意为“最……的……之一”。故填times。

M: Could you turn down the music a bit? (1) It’s louder than the planes flying overhead! I can’t even hear myself think!
W: Oh, sorry. I didn’t know it was that loud.

W: Where did you get this calendar, Ricky? It covers your whole desk!
M: I ordered it online. I’m sure if you ask Mr. Denison in the finance department, he’ll order one for you, too. (2)

W: Time for bed!
M: Oh, Mom! We were having such a good time. Can’t we just watch for another while?
W: No more TV! You have to brush your teeth and go to bed. (3) We can’t have you falling asleep in class tomorrow!
Text 4
W: Have you finished all the things on the list?
M: Well, I took out the trash, but I forgot to pick up milk and eggs at the grocery store.
W: Oh, no! I guess we’ll have to keep up our instant noodle diet for breakfast tomorrow morning! (4)

M: Here are my books, and here’s my card.
W: Oh, OK. But we don’t check out books here anymore. We only give out information. You should use the self-checkout booths by the exit. (5)
M: Sometimes I long for the good old days!

M: Are you ready for your business dinner?
W: Yes. We’re going to the Seafood Palace.
M: Well, you’ll have some nice ocean views, but are you sure you want to eat seafood during a business meeting?
W: Oh, yeah. I guess it is kind of messy. Maybe I should just stick to salad.
M: Salad could be a problem there, too. They never cut the lettuce small enough, and it’s served in a big bowl. You can’t really cut the lettuce yourself without making a lot of noise. (6)
W: I guess you’re right.
M: Maybe you can order soup or steak.
W: Well, I’m definitely going to have a glass of wine! (7)

M: Good afternoon. Have a seat, and tell me what’s wrong. (8)
W: I’ve had a stomachache for a long time. It started Friday morning.
M: You’ve had a stomachache for four days and you are only just now coming to the doctor’s
office? (8) Why did you wait so long?
W: I didn’t think it was serious. I kept thinking it would get better on its own.
M: And do these stomachaches happen at any particular time?
W: Yes, every morning, just before lunchtime.
M: Have you changed your morning routine recently?
W: Well, I have a new job, and I’ve been skipping breakfast and drinking more coffee. (9)
M: That’s probably why your stomach has been bothering you. (9) Let’s order some tests, and I’ll examine you. (8) But you should consider changing your breakfast habits. (9)

W: This is beautiful. Are we setting up camp here, or are we going to follow the trail down to the river?
M: Let’s rest here for a bit. I told the others to meet us here so we could take advantage of the view, but we should go down to the river to put up the tents. (10)
W: How did you find out about this place? (11) It seems pretty far away from towns.
M: My dad used to live near here. When I was young, my uncle took my brother and me to his cabin, and we used to fish there. (11)
W: Why don’t we just sleep there, then?
M: It’s abandoned, so there’s nothing there. By the way, did you bring the water up from the car?
W: No, I thought you brought it. Now we have to go back down to the car!
M: Calm down. The river flowing all around us is a clean water source. (12)
W: What was that noise? Oh, Scott...
M: It’s probably the other guys on the trail. Unless it’s a monster...
W: Stop joking around!

M: Hilda, I know you’re busy, and I really hate to bother you, but...
W: What is it, Bill?
M: Well, I was hoping you could give me a ride to the airport. (13)
W: Can’t you take the subway?
M: My flight is early in the morning on Sunday. (14) I don’t think the subway is open then.
W: Well, I’ve got tons of homework to do before next Monday. You know we have exams on Wednesday afternoon. (15) What about calling a taxi? It shouldn’t be too expensive on a day with so little traffic.
M: You’re right. But it’s not money I’m worried about; it’s the time of day.
W: You think there won’t be any taxis on the road in the morning?
M: Exactly. I won’t be able to get a ride and I’ll miss my flight. I could explain how you’re helping me. So our teacher might excuse you. (15)
W: That would be great, but I doubt if I can get out of a final exam. My neighbor sometimes drives people to the downtown area. (16) He charges them $6, and they save money on a $10 parking fee.
M: Do you think he’d take me?
W: I’ll be happy to give you his number. (16)

It was certainly an unusual morning. Amber was late for work for the first time in two years. (17) But even more unusual was the story she told her boss. As she was about to send her son to school, a friend called and said there was a crime being reported on Amber’s street. She looked down the street and saw a large man with an angry face. He was knocking loudly on her neighbor’s door. (18) She knew Frank was going to be late for school, but she didn’t dare to let him leave. A few minutes later, she heard the police arrive. She knew they would be safe then, so she told her son he could leave. But when Frank opened the door, their cat ran out into the yard. (19) Amber ran after the cat, but it ran to the left. Just as the cat was picking up speed, Amber finally caught up to it. She grabbed it by the tail and shouted as if she just won a victory. Just then, she looked up and saw a shiny car entering her neighborhood. It was the Stevensons, the “perfect” neighbors with all the right friends. And there was Amber, standing in her nightshirt, surrounded by police cars, and holding a scared cat in the air by the tail. (20)
