A
In the past, most people would just throw away their worn-out appliances (家用电器), but due
to the many environmental issues that this has caused over the years, it is highly suggested to
consider recycling or other ways.
Donate Your Appliances to an Organization
The first thing that most people think about when they hear about donating is giving old things
to a charity or an organization. However, you should ensure that your appliances still work. Not only
do you put repair costs on the charity, but you are also using the organization as a way to get rid of
your junk.
Find a New OwnerThere are many people that could greatly benefit from your used appliances, including new
couples, students, poverty-stricken families, and many others. Similar to donating to a charity, it is
important to ensure that your appliances are in good working order, and if they are not, you can put
up an ad definitely stating that you are giving away the broken appliances for free.
Contact a Recycling Company
Before you do recycle your old items, there are several things that you should be aware of. First
of all, you need to know about how refrigerator freezers, and air conditioners are recycled, as often
these must be covered. According to your city, you may be required to take off the doors of your
appliances to protect children or animals from getting trapped inside and getting hurt.
Donate Your Appliances as Scrap (废品)Metal
If your old appliances are completely broken, it might be best to just give them away as scrap
metal. Fortunately, there are many different organizations and companies that need as much metal as
they can get. Additionally, you won't have to do any of the scrapping or tearing apart by yourselves,
as professionals take care and effort in removing harmful elements.
21. What's the similarity between the first two ways?
A. The appliances are given away for free.
B. The appliances should be better in good condition.
C. The appliances will be sent to organizations.
D. The harmful parts of appliances must be got rid of.
22. If we want to recycle our old appliances, what should we consider?
A. What kind of appliances can be recycled.
B. Who can really benefit much from them.
C. Whether they will cause some danger or harm.
D. Which is the most suitable recycling company.
23. What can you do if you want to donate your completely broken appliances?
A. Tear them apart on your own.
B. Give them to companies that need metal.
C. Remove the harmful elements of them yourself.
D. Make sure companies that want the metal pay the delivery fee.
BWhen I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years at
my life. I was a total outsider, bullied at school. I felt completely alone in my small town.
But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14, I turned my problem into a passion for
helping others. The opportunity to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater purpose.
The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation I received. I realized that my
purpose in life would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help them feel less alone.
Books were my time friends back then. I was so thankful that the authors wrote those books.
The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to
become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped
me.
After surviving terrible experiences at school and at home, I made a choice to take the
optimistic, positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream career is what I am doing now. I
have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity
to reach out to readers every single day.
Kindness saved me when I needed help the most. Even small acts of kindness can change
someone's life. You never know what someone else is going through. But by practicing daily
kindness, you become an architect of positive change.
24. What was the author's life like when he was 12?
A. Boring. B. Peaceful. C. Unhappy. D. Meaningful.
25. How did the volunteer work benefit the author?
A. It made him popular in his town. B. It helped him fall in love with reading
C. It helped him understand others' lives better. D. It helped him find the meaning of life.
26. Why did the author choose writing as his job?
A. He was inspired by his teacher. B. He could pass positive energy to readers.
C. He wanted to share his school experiences. D. He found he had a talent for writing.
27. What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph?
A. Say “no” to bullies bravely. B. Inspire others to make positive changes.
C. Treat others with kindness in daily life. D. Learn to care more about others' feelings.

"They're made out of meat.""Meat?"
"There's no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them
aboard our craft, and probed them all the way through. They're completely meat."
"That's impossible. What about the radio signals? The message to the stars?"
"They used the radio waves to talk, but the signals don't come from them. The signals come
from machines."
"So who made the machines? That's who we want to contact."
"They made the machines. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Meat made the machines."
"That's ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? Maybe they're like the Orfolei. You know, a
carbon - based intelligence that goes through a meat stage. ”
"No. They're born meat and they die meat. We studied them for several of their life spans,
which didn't take long. Do you have any idea what's the life span of meat?"
"Spare me. Okay, maybe they're only part meat. You know, like the Weddilei. A meat head
with an electron plasma(电浆)brain inside."
"No. We thought of that, since they do have meat heads, like the Weddilei. But I told you, we
probed them. They're meat all the way through."
"No brain? So…what does the thinking?"
"You're not understanding, are you? You're refusing to deal with what I'm telling you. The
brain does the thinking. The meat."
"Oh, my! So what does this meat have in mind?"
"First it wants to talk to us. Then I imagine it wants to explore the Universe, contact other
creatures, exchange ideas and information. The usual."
"We're supposed to talk to meat!?
"That's the idea. That's the message they're sending out by radio. "Hello. Anyone out there?
Anybody home? That sort of thing."
"They actually do talk, then. They use words, ideas, concepts?"
"They do, but what do you think is on the radio? Meat sounds. They can even sing by forcing
out air through their meat."
28. The "meat" probably refers to .
A. human beings on Earth B. creatures on Earth C. the Orfolei D. the Weddilei29. The two beings talking in the story seem to .

Poetry is one of mankind's oldest art forms. Since first analyzed by Aristotle, poetry has been
part of every major art movement, and some say it captures emotion better than any other forms.
Reading peotry is necessary to gain a full understanding of the world and has many additional
benefits.
The immediate benefits of reading poetry are improvements to vocabulary. Poetry makes the
reader familiar with new terms and encourages verbal analysis. This presents reading as a creative
act in its own right. The common practice of memorizing poems also improves long-term brain
health. Studies have shown that people who memorize and recall poems are less susceptible (受影
响)to Alzheimer's.
Poetry also improves critical thinking by forcing a reader to think. In great poetry, meaning is
not obvious or one-dimensional (维度). Understanding poetry is an active practice, rather than the
passive engagement encouraged with prose ( 散 文 ). Readers of poetry are more likely than
nonreaders to analyze information for viewpoints. This skill benefits students, but also anyone who
wants to form their own opinions of news items or gain a better perspective upon documents like
contracts. The critical thinking skills developed through reading poetry give greater control language
itself.
The most remarkable power of literature is its ability to unite reader and writer across time and cultural boundaries. As condensed(浓缩的)literature, poetry offers these benefits in a powerful way.
Poetry triggers memories and emotions in its readers. This connection between universal emotions
and personal experience encourages the development of empathy. A reader might have no practical
conception of what life was like during the Elizabethan-era in England. However, Shakespeare’s
Sonnets with their universal themes of love and longing, can bridge the gap of centuries and help us
gain an insight into peopled feelings in the 17th century.
32. Which of the following shows the benefit memorizing poetry brings to the brain?
A. It improves peopled long-term memory.
B. It improves one's ability of analysing issues.
C. It makes one less likely to catch Alzheimer's
D. It makes one act more creatively.
33. In what way does poetry improve critical thinking?
A. Readers have to analyze information to form viewpoints.
B. Readers must understand the obvious meaning of poetry.
C. Readers have to gain a better perspective upon documents.
D. Readers have to have a good control over language.
34. Why does the author mention Shakespeare's Sonnets?
A. To show poetry motivates us learn different cultures.
B. To show poetry helps develop our empathy.
C. To show the universal themes of poetry.
D. To show Shakespeare's understanding of life.
35. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To ask us to read poems. B. To show how to appreciate poems.
C. To tell the importance of poetry in history. D. To explain the benefits of reading poetry.
第二节 七选五阅读(共 5 小题；每小题 3 分，满分 15 分)
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。选项中的两项为多余
选项。
In her essay Friends, Good Friends and Such Good Friends, Judith Viorst creates a number of
categories( 分 类 )for Friendships, for her, some friendships are based on convenience, some on
current shared interests, some on past shared history, some on accidental crossing-of-paths, and on and on. 36
I have just two categories of friends. 37 The short-term, low-investment(投资)category is a
large and changeable group made up of people I've met since I moved to New Orleans eighteen
months ago. My New Orleans friends are mostly classmates in my writing courses, people who see
and comment my writing courses and whose writing I see and comment.
38 But they are also unstable(不稳定的)and possibly disappointing. This is because we
often know each other better through reading each others writing than we do through honest time
spent together. Such knowledge and familiarity, without necessarily the investment can create
stresses.
The long-term, high-investment category is primarily made up of people I left behind when I
moved to New Orleans. 39 They are friends who know me, love me, and who can be counted
on for anything, even though they live 1,500 miles away. I know these friends from the way they
wash dishes to the way they choose a restaurant or drink their coffee. Every one of them was once a
person in my life, standing in the low-investment category, and then slowly becoming forever
friends. 40 And the work is hard.
A. And the only difference between the two is time and lots of work.
B. Such classification by her is beyond me.
C. The change takes just that Investment.
D. In many ways, they are friends whose concern is only based on profit.
E. These low-investment friendships are delightfully strong and serious at times.
F. This is a firm and efficient group, whose numbers can be counted on one hand.
G. Friends of the low-investment category are always trustworthy

think organic food is just 62 waste of money.
There is one main 63 (differ) between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do

In many 64 (country), foods that claim to be organic must have special labels that

At first, only small companies produced these products. But later, big food companies also began
selling organic products. Small organic food companies found it difficult 67 (compete) with
these big companies, and many didn't stay in business much 68 (long).

agricultural chemicals can cause serious illnesses like cancer, 69 there isn't much evidence
