Due to a scheduling accident,one Waffle House worker was left alone to run the entire restaurant on a Sunday night.
Ethan Crispo was just one of about 30 hungry customers who wanted food at midnight.After sitting at his table for a while,he noticed there was just one upset employee available to take orders,cook food,clean tables and manage the cash register.
The 24-year-old patron was losing hope of ever getting a meal.The employee-who was recognized only by his name tag reading"Ben"-seemed to be on the edge of panic until Crispo saw him speaking to a male customer in a blue shirt sitting at the counter. After a brief conversation,Ben handed him an apron(围裙）and the man got to work washing dishes.
“It was a transition so smooth.I initially assumed it was a staff member returning to his shift,"Crispo told AL.com."It wasn't.It was a kind stranger."
A couple of minutes later,a woman in high heels and a stylish dress walked behind the counter to make more coffee.She then took a few orders before resigning herself to clearing tables.Suddenly,a third customer in a red shirt marched over to help as well, though Crispo failed to catch his name or take a photo of the man at work.
The term"customer service"took on a whole new meaning that night."It was the most fascinating thing,"Crispo said."It was just one of the wildest instances of really, really cool people just coming together.It made a difference to many people that night. Certainly,their actions made an impact on me,"he added.“Humanity isn't just good－it's great."

A. The employer of the Waffle House. B. Ethan Crispo.

A.He was a staff member returning to work.

A fully electric seaplane has made its first flight over the mouth of the Fraser River near Vancouver,Canada.The flight represents a milestone in the long process of reducing the aviation industry's emissions and costs by electrifying short-to-medium distance commercial flying.
Several hundred people crowded the river bank on Tuesday morning to witness what they hoped would be a historic moment.They were not disappointed.Among cheers,the battery-powered Harbour Air seaplane lifted off into the sky.The plane flew a short round-trip downriver before landing five minutes later.
＂It was magical.It was much quieter than I had expected it to be,"said Nicki Malcom,one witness from Auburn,Washington."It's definitely the future,"said Chip Jamison,who came from Portland to see the electric plane he produced parts for."You can see it with automobiles.Planes are next.It's right in front of us."
The test pilot was the only person on board the six-passenger DHC-2 de Havilland Beaver.He was the CEO and founder of Habour Air,Greg McDougall.McDougall's seaplane airline teamed up with a Redmond,Washington-based electric motor maker named MagniX to transform the classic de Havilland Beaver plane.MagniX CEO Roei Ganzarski sees the seaplane's first flight as a milestone,similar to the first jet takeoff.
＂Today you witnessed the first shot of the electric aviation revolution,"Ganzarski told the two companies' staff,contractors,media and other celebrators."Let's start the revolution."Ganzarski laid out a case for how battery-powered flight offers lower noise,zero pollution and could reduce fuel and maintenance costs."Lower operating costs for airlines like
Harbour Air will mean lower ticket prices for all of you,"he said. ＂Lower operating costs mean they can now fly to more destinations that we couldn't fly to before."
It will be some time before regular folks can book a ticket on a clean,electric seaplane.
28.According to the passage,the Harbour Air seaplane
A.is adapted from the de Havilland Beaver
B.will replace the automobile in the near future
C.can carry more than six passengers
D.has investment from the Vancouver government
29.What is Chip Jamison's attitude towards electric seaplanes?
A.Critical. B.Objective. C.Optimistic. D.Ambiguous.
30.What can we learn from Roei Ganzarski's words?
A.Electric seaplanes only help cut down air pollution and costs.
B. People can fly to more destinations in less time on battery-powered planes.
C.The seaplane's first flight symbolizes the success of the electric aviation revolution.
D.People may get cheaper tickets by taking electric seaplanes.
31.This passage centers on
A.a way to cut down air pollution
B.the benefits we get from electric seaplane
C.an all-electric seaplane that completes its first flight
D.the first step in the electric aviation revolution

There are many online and in-person courses that promise to teach a"native accent".But is it really necessary to sound exactly like a native speaker?Some experts say it is not.Eusebia V.Mont leads the Accent Modification(修正）Program at the University of Maryland's Department of Hearing&Speech Sciences.Mont talked about it to reporters.
Students come to the program for one or two school terms.They meet in a group for 90 minutes a week.Each student meets with one other student and a"doctor"for more individual work.Altogether the program amounts to about 60 hours of learning in class. Mont says the rate of progress absolutely depends on the type of accent it is,how long they've been speaking English and how often they speak English.
Mont says,"I view accent as the spread of culture;the spread of a person's individual identity-and I don't work to remove any part of culture from an individual."
Students will most probably work in English-speaking environments when they leave school.The program teaches them tools for this.For example,they learn how to give an"elevator
pitch"-a short description of an idea-and how to discuss their research.They also practice interviewing and giving presentations at work.
Mont says that there are a few methods for modifying accent,but most have the same basis.One method is called the Compton Method.Arthur J.Compton developed the method for English learners who know English vocabulary and grammar fairly well. It begins with a test to find out how the student's native language affects different areas of pronunciation.Then learners use practice materials to record their own voice and compare their pronunciation attempts to recordings of a native speaker.
Another method is the Tomatis Method,which uses special headphones and includes listening to electronically modified voices and asks students to find the difference between their pronunciation and the voices they hear.This method is also used to cure children who have mental conditions that can cause difficulty in language learning.
Mont' s final advice to English learners is not to expect to sound exactly like a native speaker.And remember:even native English speakers do not all speak alike!
32.According to the passage,the Accent Modification Program
A.is aimed at helping students get rid of their accent
B. divides students into different classes according to their abilities
C. teaches students how to communicate in English-speaking environments
D. offers students a total of 90 minutes' study over one or two school terms
33.What does the underlined part"elevator pitch"mean in Paragraph 4?
A.Discussing one's research in brief.
B.Giving presentations in an effective way.
C.Practicing interviewing skills in an elevator.
D.Making others understand an idea in a short time.
34.Both of the Compton Method and the Tomatis Method
A.use the method of comparison
B.require students to take a test first
C. serve students who have mastered English well
D.require students to record their voices with equipment
35.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.The Development of the Accent Modification Industry
B.Keep Your Identity While Changing Your Accent
C.The Situation of the Accent Modification Program
D.Ways to Sound like a Native Speaker

I never really decided to move to New York,and I never really decided to stay,but I've lived here,in the same apartment,for sixteen years,which is longer than I've lived anywhere else.36.
My last move was from my parents' house in Westchester County,ten months after I graduated from college.With a roommate who was a friend of a college friend,I got a two-bedroom apartment on the Upper West Side which rented for four hundred and seventy-five dollars a month;half that amount was about as much as I could afford on my take-home pay,which was a little less than two hundred dollars a week.
I was working in the typing pool of this magazine,at a time when career advice to young women included an admonition(告诫）that if you started out with a job that involved typing all you would ever do was type.But I didn't believe that.I dared to type.Over the years,things between me and my apartment worsened to the point where we barely acknowledged each other' s existence.I kept waiting for it to change into something that it wasn't,and it kept waiting for me to give it the attention it deserved.37.
For most young people who come to New York,having a roommate is not a matter of choice.38. The two bedrooms were at opposite ends of the apartment, with the bathroom,kitchen,and living room in between.39. My room was almost twice as big as the other bedroom-big enough to fit the double bed I'd bought for twenty dollars a few months after I moved in,from someone who was leaving the building,and the twin bed I'd brought from home,which I used for guests until I stopped having guests.There was plenty of space left over for my desk,my stereo,and the bookcase that had been next to my bed at home when I was growing up.40.
A.I had spent hours staring at,reabsorbing the contents of the books by gazing at their spines(书脊）
B.By the time this year rolled around,we had both had enough.It was clear that one of us had to go.
C.I don't know how I ended up with the better room,but I'm pretty sure we didn't flip a coin.
D.In that time,my parents and my three brothers have moved twenty-four times.
E. I was lucky in that my apartment was well laid out for sharing.
F.During my first few years in the apartment,I did everything the way my mother did.
G.Nobody had to go through anybody else' s space.

A Simple Thank
I have been in the teaching profession more than thirty years,and one of the best teachers I have ever known was Mr.Rowe. I was lucky enough to co-teach the fourth grade with him.
Mr.Rowe had infinite patience and understanding and I learned so much from watching him.He could perform miracles,like the one he performed with Steven,one of the unhappiest kids I ever saw.Steven couldn't stand school.He didn't like being picked last for kickball.He didn't like the kids who raised their hands and knew all the answers,and most importantly,he didn't like himself.
The first day he walked into Mr.Rowe' s classroom,he ignored the other students, looking angry and annoyed,and slid into his chair,knocking a couple of textbooks onto the floor.
Mr.Rowe walked over to him and touched Steven's shoulder,but Steven pulled away.Nevertheless,Mr.Rowe welcomed him,"Hi,Steven.I'm happy you are in my class.We are gonna have a great year."Steven looked around the room as if Mr.Rowe must be mistaken.No teacher in his right mind would want Steven to be part of his classroom.
So,while Mr.Rowe seemed cheerful and relaxed that day of school.It seemed like Steven was angry and confused.
That day after classes,Mr.Rowe chose Steven to pitch the kickball at recess. ＂Hey,Steven,"Mr.Rowe commented,"You are good at pitching.Let me show you my secret trick."Mr.Rowe taught Steven one of the tricks that not a single kid could perform.Steven learned fast and did quite well!Everyone cheered for him!
After the kickball,Steven sat as closer to Mr.Rowe in classes as he could.When a question was asked,Steven lit up;he knew the answer!He raised his hands.When he answered the question,his voice shook.However,he got the answer right!He said, with Mr.Rowe,his days of the fourth grade promised wonderful.
That was not to say that every day went smoothly,but it was evident that Steven grew to love Mr.Rowe more and more with each passing day.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Time passed quickly that year,and before we all knew it,it was the last day of school.
