2、 A few weeks ago, I called an Uber to take me to the Boston airport for a flight home for the holidays. As I slid into the back seat of the car, the warm intonations(语调) of the driver’s accent washed over me in a familiar way.
I learned that he was a recent West African immigrant with a few young children, working hard to provide for his family. I could relate: I am the daughter of two Ethiopian immigrants who made their share of sacrifices to ensure my success. I told him I was on a college break and headed home to visit my parents. That’s how he found out I go to Harvard. An approving eye glinted at me in the rearview window, and quickly, we crossed the boundaries of rider and driver. I became his daughter, all grown up — the product of his sacrifice.
And then came the fateful question: “What do you study?” I answered “history and literature” and the pride in his voice faded, as I knew it might. I didn’t even get to add “and African-American studies” before he cut in, his voice thick with disappointment, “All that work to get into Harvard, and you study history?”
Here I was, his daughter, squandering the biggest opportunity of her life. He went on to deliver the age-old lecture that all immigrant kids know. We are to become doctors (or lawyers, if our parents are being generous) — to make money and send money back home. The unspoken demand, made across generations, which my Uber driver laid out plainly, is simple: Fulfill your role in the narrative(故事) of upward mobility so your children can do the same.
I used to feel anxious and backed into a corner by the questioning, but now as a junior in college, I’m grateful for their support more than anything. This holiday season, I’ve promised myself I won’t huff and get annoyed at their inquiries. I won’t defensively respond with “but I plan to go to law school!” when I get unrequested advice. I’ll just smile and nod, and enjoy the warmth of the occasion.

3、Yelp, the San Francisco Internet company that makes reviews of restaurants and other businesses across a large part of America, is getting into the food delivery business.
Today, the company has announced that it has agreed to acquire Eat24, a food company that delivers food to homes on behalf of partner restaurants. Yelp is paying $134 million for the company—$75 million in cash and the rest in stock. Eat24 works with 20,000 restaurants in more than 1,500 cities all over the U.S.
On Yelp's reviews site, you can find new restaurants to suit your tastes, and now that the company is acquiring Eat24, the idea is that it will also let you take the next step: order food to your door.
“If you're looking at a restaurant, you want to be able to book that restaurant,” Yelp co-founder and CEO Jeremy said in a Tuesday interview. “If we can integrate(融入) that into the Yelp experience, it makes the site much better.”
The move is just one way that some of Internet's most recognizable names are branching into online food delivery to improve their existing business. Last August, payments company Square bought Caviar, a high-end quick food delivery service. And that same month, Uber tested a fast food delivery service called UberFRESH, which aimed to deliver meals from local restaurants to customers in less than 10 minutes.
In each case, food delivery can provide an added source of income, and it can also help these companies push the use of their existing services. The market for food delivery is hardly small, and mobile technologies can speed up the process, potentially expanding the business even further.
1.How does Yelp pay for the company Eat24?
A.Totally by cheque.
B.Totally in cash.
C.Partly in stock.
D.Only in credit.
2.Customers can do all the following on the new Yelp's website EXCEPT ________.
A.finding the restaurants they like
B.booking a restaurant they like
C.ordering food to their door
D.enjoying much cheaper food
3.What does the underlined word “acquire” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Bargain.
B.Claim.
C.Request.
D.Purchase.
4.From the passage, we can infer that many companies ________.
A.begin to set up their own food branches
B.make little money from their existing
business
C.begin to attach importance to food delivery making
D.give up the present business and turn to food making
4、The oddness (反常) of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some examples.
First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny balled (芭蕾) dancer. “I’m an inside guy,” Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Station. “I like to be wrapped up.”
On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, it’s just as easy to pedal violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate air, the carbon dioxide you exhale (呼气) has a tendency to form an invisible (隐形的) cloud around you head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache.
Leroy Chiao, 54, an American retired astronaut after four flights, describes what happens even before you float out of your seat, “Your inner ear thinks you’re falling. Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you’re standing straight. That can be annoying—that’s why some people feel sick.” Within a couple days—truly terrible days for some —astronauts, brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears.
Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance, astronauts lose bone mass. That’s why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) puts it right on the workday schedule. The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronauts return home, and, more importantly, how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars.
1.What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space?
A.Deciding on a proper sleep position
B.Choosing a comfortable sleeping bag
C.Seeking a way to fall asleep
quickly
D.Finding a right time to go to sleep.
2.The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache when _____.
A.they circle around on their bikes
B.they use microcomputers without a stop
C.they exercise in one place for a long time
D.they watch a movie while pedaling
3.Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days because _____.
A.their senses stop working
B.they have to stand up straight
C.they float out of their seats unexpectedly
D.whether they are able to go back to the station
4.One of the NASA’s major concerns about astronauts is _____.
A. how much exercise they do on the station
B.how they can remain healthy for long in space
C.whether they can recover after returning home
D.whether they are able to go back to the station

4. B下文提到店主到来的时候.他们已经烘烤出足够的面包.可以救济其他灾民:所以此处应该是指他们烘烤面包是为了帮助更多的人。

2.C 根据下文我参加了滑冰课程和训练可知我坚持要练习滑冰。insist on doing sth“坚持做某事”。
3.D 在那里当地的滑冰者经常进行滑冰表演。would在此处表示“过去常常做某事”。

5.A 根据下文我很快通过了不同级别的考核可知我不惧怕比赛。
6.D 由上文“我不害怕比赛”可知,我感到紧张,但从未感到害怕过。fearful“害怕的,担心的”,符合语境。
7.A 对我而言,滑冰已是做最好的自己,而不是在冰上击败别人。rather than“而不是”,符合语境。other than“除了”;except for“除……之外”;as for“关于”。
8.B 通过训练我的滑冰水平提高很快。level“水平,标准”,符合语境。

10.C 见上题解析。truly“真实地”,符合语境。

7答案及解析:
答案:will reach; that/which; were reported; including; measures; to; youth; To respond; strengthen; balanced
解析:
中国儿童和青少年肥胖问题越来越严重,造成这种问题的原因有哪些呢?我们该如何应对这一问题呢?
1. will reach考查动词时态。设空处作谓语动词,根据时间状语in 2025可知,此处要用一般将来时,所以答案为will reach。
2. that/which 考査定语从句。设空处引导定语从句,先行词是a number,该从句中缺少主语,所以要用关系代词that或which引导.
3. were reported考查动词的时态和语态及主谓一致。根据第一段中的a study said可知要用一般过去时,且主语是复数形式,同时主语和 report之间是被动关系.所以答案为were reported.
4.including 考查介词。including prep.包括.
5.measures考查名词单复数:take measures to do sth.采取措施做某事。根据后边的were也可判断出用复数形式.
6. to考査固定搭配:contribute to促成,造成。
7. youth考查词性转换.设空处要用名词形式,表示“青年”,所以答案为 youth。
8. To respond考查不定式用法。不定式短语作状语,表示目的。
9. strengthen考查虚拟语气。在urge后面的that引导的宾语从句中, 谓语动词应该用“(should+)动词原形”。所以答案为strengthen。
10. balanced考查词性转换:此处应用形容词修饰后面的名词。balanced adj.均衡的。
8答案及解析:
答案: Li Ming is a friend of mine. I am glad he changed greatly in the past two years. I clearly remember he was quite fat two years . He got tired so that he couldn’t take exercise, made him very upset. Later, he realized he went on like that, he would end up nothing. So, he made up his to make a change. He went running every morning and played the basketball every afternoon. Besides, he followed a diet of more vegetables less meat. Gradually he began to lose weight. He is now an energetic boy in good health. So when faced with problems, we should overcome with great determination and strong willpower
解析:
1. 根据in the past two years可知,句子用现在完成时态,故在changed 前加has。
2. 句意:我清楚地记得两年前他很胖。句子用一般过去时态, 表示两年前用two years ago,故把before改为ago。
3. 副词修饰动词,故把easy改为easily。
4. 整个句子作先行词,后面是非限制性定语从句,that不能引导非限制性定语从句,用which引导,故把that改为which。
5. 句意:后来,他意识到如果继续像那样。此处是if引导的宾语从句,表“如果”,unless除非,故把unless改为if。
6. 固定搭配:end up doing sth.以做某事而结束,故把achieve 改为 achieving。
7. 固定词组:make up one s mind下决心,故把minds改为mind。
8. 固定结构:play basketball打篮球。play和球类名词连用不用冠词,故把basketball前的the删除。
9. 此处指更多的蔬菜和较少的肉。故把or改为and。
10.因为前半句的problems是名词复数,所以后面用them替代,故把it改为them。
9答案及解析:
答案:
Dear Sam,
I'm glad to hear from you. I'm sorry to hear that you are nervous about your coming exam. I hope the following advice will be of some help to you.
Firstly, you should keep calm and believe in yourself, which is the key to your success. Secondly, I know you are a hard-workingboy, so as long as you make a good plan for revision, I believe you can pass it. Always remember that you must revise your subjects for at least 2 hours every day. At the same time, don't stay up so late. You'd better spend some time taking exercise or visiting your friends.
I hope my advice can be helpful to you.
Good luck!
Yours,
Li Hua
