For Kim Duffy,sending away her teenage daughter was the best hope for saving the girl's life.
Corinne, then 17, had been struggling with bulimia(贪食症)and anorexia(厌食症)for more than
five years. Duffy and her husband, Terry, found a residential facility in Virginia,and Corinne signed on for a two-month stay in the summer of 2009.
Today,Corinne's healthy and pursuing a master's degree in Colorado. She and her parents
believe the holistic(整体)approach and individualized focus were key to her recovery. And they
know they had access to unique resources. "We were fortunate, "says Duffy. "We could pay for
everything."
But many can't. According to a report released in November 2014 by the Standing Committee
on the Status of Women,between 600,000 and one million Canadians suffer from an eating
disorder. Public in patient programs often won't admit patients until they're in life-threatening
condition. Private clinics often have a long waitlists and high costs-at Homewood, in Guelph, Ont., a
room is $ 305 to S 360 per day.
The Duffs' struggle led then to connect other families with the quality of care they received in
the United Sates. In late 2013, hey founded the WaterStone Clinic,a private eating disorder center in
Toronto.
Since the facility opened, 170 clients have received treatment. They take yoga, do art therapy
and participate in meal preparation, building real-life skills with a support team. Programs run
weekdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and notably, so far WaterStone has no waiting list.
But this approach is costly: approximately S 650 per day. Realizing that the price tag puts
WaterStone out of reach for many, the Duffys created the WaterStone Foundation-a charity that
provides aid to patients who can't afford treatment the following year. Candidates are assessed by wo
committees that make a decision based on clinical and financial need. Since 2014,the foundation has
helped 100 people.
Duffy also wants to change the public system. In June of this year, the foundation awarded $
170,000 to four Ontario hopitals offering creative treatment to eating disorder patients. "Yes, people
need private treatment," she says, “but it's important to help out on a broader scale,too."
24.Why did Duffy think they were fortunate?
A.They had enough money to ravel abroad. B.They could afford the medical resources.
C.They happened to find a right hospital. D.They met very experienced doctors.
25.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A.Public hospitals cannot treat patients with eating disorder.
B.Many people die from eating disorder in Canadian public hospitals.C.A lot of eating disorder patients have no access to proper treatment.
D.In private clinics eating disorder patients will receive timely treatment.
26.Which of the following patients will receive help from WaterStone Foundation?
A.Poor ones who suffer from the disease. B.Ones who are rejected by public hospitals.
C.Ones who are facing death. D.old ones who are poor.
27.What do we know from Duffy's words in the last paragraph?
A.Only private clinics can give proper treatment to the patients.
B.Treatment of the disease in public hospitals should be improved.
C.She wants to cooperate with public hospitals to help the patients.
D.Public hospitals should do more to help people with eating disorder.

At first,Michael Surrell didn’t see the black smoke or flames shooting from the windows of
his neighbors’home.He and his wife had just parked around the corner from their own house,when
they got a call from one of his daughters:“The house next door is on fire!”He went to
investigate.That’s when he saw two women and a girl panic-stricken on their doorway.

catch his breath.

a similar design to his,Surrell found the stairs and made it to the second floor.He was already out of
breath.Then a soft but distinct moan appeared.He crawled toward the sound,feeling around for any
sign of the girl.Finally,he touched something.A shoe,then an ankle.He pulled Tiara into his
arms.Turning,he fought through the smoke and ran blindly into the blackness.The next thing he
knew,he was at the front door,then outside.Surrell woke up in the hospital a couple of days later,having suffered severe burns.Tiara was
released from the hospital after a few days.“It’s a small price to pay,”Surrell says.“I’d do it again in

For the first time ever scientists prepare to set about a 3-year-long project,the Nekton
Mission,to explore the Indian Ocean and document changes taking place beneath the waves that
could affect the surrounding region over the coming decades.
The ambitious exploration team will reach one of the last major unexplored frontiers on the
planet,a vast body of water that’s already feeling the effects of global warming with rising water
temperatures damaging its coral reefs(珊瑚礁).Understanding the Indian Ocean’s ecosystem is
important not just for the species that live in it,but also for the 2.5 billion people living in the
region.
The Nekton Mission is supported by more than 40 organizations.Researchers will spend seven
weeks surveying underwater life,map the sea floor,and drop sensors(传感器)to depths of up to 6,
560 feet in the seas around the Seychelles.
The Seychelles aims to become a leader in the development of a“blue economy”that draws on the resources of the ocean.It relies on fishing and tourism,but has lately also been exploiting oil and
gas from beneath the sea floor.“Our ocean is undergoing rapid ecological transformation by human
activities.The Nekton Mission is vital to help us better know our ocean space and resources to make
wise decisions.Only when we know what we have in the ocean and what is its value call we properly
decide what to exploit and what to leave untouched,”said Jumeau,the Seychelles’ambassador to
the UN.
The mission will conduct further dives in other parts of the Indian Ocean over three years.The
researchers expect to discover new species and send videos to the world by satellite.The research
will provide information for a summit(峰会)about the Indian Ocean planned for late 2021.
32.Why do the scientists plan to explore the Indian Ocean?
A.To save the endangered creatures living in the sea.
B.To discover the damage mankind has done to the ocean.
C.To make the best use of the natural resources in the sea.
D.To protect its species and people living around the region.
33.Which is not included in the tasks to be carried out around the Seychelles?
A.Drawing maps of the sea floor. B.Finding treasures under the sea.
C.Putting sensors into the deep sea. D.Studying underwater life.
34.What can be learned about the Nek-ton Mission?
A.It will extend beyond the Indian Ocean. B.It will benefit a lot from“blue economy”.
C.It will contribute to the 2021 conference. D.It will find solutions to global warming.
35.What can be a suitable title fur the text?
A.Scientists Are to Explore the Indian Ocean
B.The Seychelles Aims to Build a“Blue Economy”
C.Effects of Global Warming on Marine Ecosystem
D.Indian Ocean:the Last Unexplored Frontier on the Planet

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余
选项。
Some people think working overtime means you’re a hard worker. You have to sacrifice
your personal time to stay at work, produce something, help the company, and be a more devoted employee. But is that right? 36. This means it takes you longer to produce something than someone
else.
A good manager knows how to encourage his employees to work to their full potential instead
of expecting them to work late even if they don’t have something to do. People who stay in their
office until late hate their jobs. 37.
Overworking may negatively influence the level of productivity and efficiency(效率). Any
company that makes their employees work those hours is not being managed well. The fault lies
with management, who should take a good look at themselves. 38. And the boss would prefer you
work efficiently 7 hours and then go back home than 8 hours with poor efficiency.
39. The fact is the competition is so fierce that if you don’t work hard someone will easily and
willingly replace you, especially in the IT industry. Employees are told they need to work longer
hours or they don’t belong or are denied promotions. It is time to abandon the culture of
overworking, to work smarter, more efficiently and have a balance with personal life.
Nowadays, it’s hard for a young person to build a good future, for pressures are on his (or her)
shoulders: housing, children, parents, themselves, etc. But everyone must keep working hard to have
ourselves on the way to the good future, which is not certain. 40.
A.No one wants to work overtime.
B.The boss thinks highly of overworking.
C.Working too many hours only means you are inefficient.
D.And it affects their performance, as well as other aspects of their life.
E. What’s sure is that if you’re lazy and don’t work hard, no good future will come.
F. Managers believe that overworking is an evidence of devotion from their employees’ side.
G. In many countries, overworking would be criticized because it reflects poor work efficiency.

Dear Sir or Madam:
My name is Li Hua. I’m writing this letter totell you my terrible flight experience onBA793 on
April 3rd. 2012.
The first trouble started when the flight waslisted as Delayed . For what seemed an eternity
we were stuck atthe airport and noone came to offer us any expl anati on. Sevenhours later, when
all the passengers finallygot on board, we were told that we had to keepon waiting for another hour
due to the badweather! If we had been informed earlier, wewould have chosen to stay in the waiting
room. What was worse, upon my arrival, I f oundmy check- in suitcase which was newly bought outof shape, and its handle was broken !
I m looking forward to an explanation aboutthis unpleasant experience and I str onglysuggest
that your company do something toprovide quality service to the fliers.
Sincerely
