AIt is good to get in touch with your inner child from time to time, and obviously some people are willing to pay big money for the chance to do so in a proper environment. A Brooklyn-based adult preschool is charging customers between $333 and $999 for the chance to act like a kid again.At Preschool Mastermind in New York adults get to participate in show—and—tell, arts—and—crafts such as finger paint, games like musical chairs and even take naps. The month-long course also has class picture day where the adults are expected to have a field trip and a parent day.30-year-old Michelle Joni Lapidos, the brain behind the adult preschool, studied childhood education and has always wanted to be a preschool teacher. She’s always on the lookout for new ways to get people in touch with the freedom of childhood. A friend encouraged her to start the mastermind course instead.According to Candice, her blogger friend, Preschool Mastermind gives adults a chance to relearn and master the things that they failed to understand as children. ―I rea lized all the significances of what we learn in preschool,‖said founder Michelle Joni, ―People come here and get in touch with their inner child. It’s magical. We are bringing ourselves back to another place, another time with ourselves when we are more believing in ourselves, more confident and ready to take on the world.‖―One person’s here because they want to learn not to be so serious.‖Michelle said. ―Another's here to learn to be more confident.‖ She explained that most of the classes were planned. However, Joni added that while the planned activities were fun, it was often the spontaneous(自发的)moments that attracted students. ―It’s the things you don’t plan for, the sharing between friends and learning from each other.’’21. What is the purpose of Preschool Mastermind?A. To give adults a chance to return to childhood.B. To help parents understand their children better.C. To provide practical training courses for teachers.D. To introduce some ways of playing with children.22. What is mainly discussed about Preschool Mastermind in Paragraph 2?A. Its customers.B. Its activities.C. Its environment.D. Its schedule.23. According to Candice, people come to this program to________.A. enjoy freedom of thinkingB. realize their childhood dreamsC. discover their inner abilitiesD. figure out childhood puzzles24. What do we know about Michelle Joni?A. She used to be a preschool teacher.B. She likes to make plans in advance.C. She founded Preschool Mastermind.D. She gained confidence by sharing.BBack in 2003 an 86-year-old man drove his Buick through a crowded farmers’ market. Nine people were killed. More than fifty-four people were hurt, fourteen with serious injuries. When he finally stopped, the 86-year-old man got out his car and screamed at people to get out of the way. No alcohol or drugs were found in his system. Apparently, he was just old and confused.This is a frightening accident, and it is not a rare one. There are many examples of elderly drivers driving into swimming pools, houses, storefronts, or worse.In our teenage years, we all heard ―driving is not a right; it’s a privilege.‖ That is still true, and there comes an age when driving is no longer a privilege that can be allowed. After a certain age, eyesight and dementia(痴呆) are very serious concerns. Undoubtedly, these age-related problems affect some older adults’ driving ability. By the time a person is between eighty-five and ninety years old, his or her driving privilege should be examined.Licensing laws vary greatly from state to state, and it’s time for a national law on the maximum age limit for driving. The motivation for this law is safety. Another option is to start with laws that ban anyone over the age of eighty-five from driving after sundown, because driving conditions are not as safe as daylight hours. Still another option that may allow elderly drivers to continue driving could be new technology like a voice warning system that cautions drivers on busy streets or at traffic lights. Finally, since there are laws against driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, shouldn’t some prescription drugs also be included? The average age of 85-year-old is undoubtedly taking at least one prescription drug daily.The thought of an 86-year-old driver with failing eyesight running down the road in a two-ton piece of metal is unsettling to us all. Driving at an advanced age is not only challenging for the elderly drivers, but also it’s dangerous for the rest of us.25. The first paragraph is written in order to show_________.A. the harm of driving at an old ageB. the importance of traffic safetyC. traffic accidents are on the riseD. many elderly drivers are careless26. The author suggests that there should be new laws against driving __________.A. over eighty-fiveB. between sunset and dawnC. with the help of voice warning systemsD. under the influence of prescription drugs27. The underlined word ―unsettling‖ in the last paragraph is close st in meaning to―________‖.A. disappointingB. worryingC. touchingD. interesting28. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. How to keep old people safe on the road?B. Are drivers well protected by licensing laws?C. Should there be an age limit for elderly drivers?D. Is driving a right or a privilege for an old person?CIfirst came across the concept of pay-what-you-can cafes last summer in Boone, N.C., where I ate at F.A.R.M (Feed All Regardless of Means) Café. You can volunteer to earn your meal, pay the suggested price($10) or less, or you can overpay—paying it forward for a future customer’s meal. My only regret after eating there was not having a chance to give my time. So as soon as Healthy World Café opened in York in April, I signed up for a volunteer shift(轮班).F.A.R.M and Healthy World are part of a growing trend of community cafés. In 2003, Denise Cerreta opened the first in Salt Lake City. Cerreta now runs the One World Everybody Eats Foundation, helping others copy her pay-what-you can model.―I think the community café is truly a hand up, not a handout,‖ Cerreta said. She acknowledged that soup kitchens(施粥所) have a place in society, but people typically don’t feel good about going there.―One of the values of the community café is that we have another approach,‖ she said. ―Everyone eats here, no one needs to know whether you volunteered, overpaid or underpaid.‖The successful cafés not only address hunger and food insecurity but also become necessary parts of their neighborhood –whether it’s a place to learn skills or hear live music. Some teach cooking to seniors; some offer free used books. Eating or working there is a reminder that we are all in this world together.My 10 am---1pm shift at World-Healthy-Café began with the café manager – one of the two paid staff members. Our volunteer crew wasn’t the most orderly, but we managed to prepare and serve meals with a lot of laughs in between. At the end of my shift, I ordered my earned meal at the counter, together with other volunteers. After lunch, I walked out the door, with a handful of new friends, music in my head and a satisfied belly and heart.29. What did the author do at F.A.R.M Café last summer?A. She enjoyed a meal.B. She ate free of charge.C. She overpaid for the food.D. She worked as a volunteer.30. What is the advantage of community cafés compared with soup kitchens?A. People can have free food.B. People can maintain their dignity.C. People can stay as long as they like.D. People can find their places in society.31. Why are community cafés becoming popular in the neighborhoods?A. They bring people true friendships.B. They help to bring people together.C. They create a lot of job opportunities.D. They support local economic development.32. How did the author feel about working at Healthy World Café?A. It paid well.B. It changed her.C. It was beneficial.D. It was easy for her.DWe took a rare family road trip to the Adirondacks in late August, and it was as refreshing and exhausting as family vacations tend to be. Toward the end of our long drive home, even the kids were leaning forward in their seats urging my lead foot on. At that point in a road trip, even sixty-five miles per hour feels slow. We have become numb to our speed and numb to the road signs flashing by.My family lives on the edge of Lancaster County. Only thirty miles from home, I hit the brakes, and we began to roll, slowly, behind a horse-drawn carriage. We began to open our eyes again. We saw familiar green hills and the farm with the best watermelons. I rolled down the windows, and we breathed again. Just-cut hay and a barn full of dairy cattle.At five miles per hour, you remember what you forget at sixty-five. You are thinking about a place, even when you are moving from place to place.I am a placemaker. A homemaker, too. I am a mother of a young kid at home, and also a writer and a gardener. But, for me, those roles are wrapped up with the one big thing I want to do with the rest of my life：I want to cultivate a place and share it with others.The place I make with my family is a red-brick farmhouse built in l880. It has quite a few nineteenth-century bedrooms and a few acres of land, and we love nothing more than to fill them with neighbors and friends. We grow vegetables and flowers, keep a baker’s dozen of egg—laying chickens, and, since we moved in three years ago, we have planted many, many trees.Living with my life’s purpose does not allow for much trav el. I need to be here, feeding the chickens and watering the tomatoes. Any extra in the budget, and we spend it on trees.But I learned something at the end of our family road trip. Travel can help me in the task of caring for my own place. When I slow down and pay attention to the road between here and there, travel tells me the connections between my place and all the other places.33. What does the author try to express in the first paragraph?A. The tiredness of her past family life.B. Her disappointment at the family road trip.C. The family’s eagerness to return home.D. Kids’excitement at driving fast on the road.34. Why did the author slow her car some miles from her home?A. Because she made a way for a horse-drawn carriage.B. Because she enjoyed the scenery along the road.C. Because she needed a break after the long drive.D. Because she wanted to get rid of a fast-paced life.35. What can be the best title of the passage?A. On the Way HomeB. Never Travel againC. Escape from a Family LifeD. Life on the Farm第二节根据短文内容,从文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

A21.Why was this email sent?A.To bill the customer.B.To suggest a new agenda.C.To confirm a travel schedule.D.To inform about an added cost.22.What is the extra service offered by the agency?A.Buying travel insurance.B.Looking after children.C.Transporting luggage.D.Providing cigarettes.23.What must the family pay for upon arrival in New York?A.Entrance to a museum.B.Dinner at a country club.C.Admission to a science center.D.A barbecue on Virginia Beach.BBring any group of business owners or managers together,ask them the best way to pro-mote their organizations, and you’ll get different answers.That comes as no surprise.When it comes to promoting a business, trying to find the single choice is rarely wise.You’ll see business owners and managers try radio advertising.When that doesn’t produce the results they want,they’ll change to sending direct mail.When that doesn’t create a jump in sales,they’ll buy TV commercials.When t hat falls short of their expectations,they’ll try a new on-line strategy…and it goes on and on.For most companies,the best approach is a mix of different channels,organized in ways that allow each to build upon the others.The channel that will work best in a given situation depends on a lot of factors,including the company itself,its audience,the message being conveyed,the environment,and many more.Just that radio worked well for a company’s last effort doesn’t mean that TV advertising wouldn’t be a better choice this time.Or maybe the right channel is direct mail.There’s no simple answer,because there are so many variables.If your audience is broad,then maybe radio or newspaper advertising is the right choice.If you’re targeting a carefully defined grou p,such as former customers,direct mail or email will probably perform better.There are two important lessons here.The first is not to concentrate on trying to find a single channel that will serve all of the company's needs,because it just doesn't exist.The second lesson is that before you spend the first dollar to promote your business,you need to do more than a little learning.You'll really need to understand your customers,your market-place,your competitors,and the environments in which you do business. And you need a good understanding of what makes one marketing channel right for one situation,but not not her.24.According to Paragraph 1,there are no______.A.cheap ads.B.unsuccessful ads.C.perfect ads.D.all-purpose ads.25.What is the best way to promote a business?ing a channel that serves all of your budget.B.Putting ads on various channels at the same time.C.Creating an ad that appeals to all your customers.D.Advertising on a channel available to consumers.26.When it comes to choosing an ad for a business,we should________.A.stay away from TV advertising.B.choose it based on the specific situation.C.advertise on the radio or on the newspaper.D.choose it according to your customers’ budget.27.Before deciding on a marketing channel,you need to_____.A.ask for your customers’ advicepare different advertisingC.realize the problems with your businessD.make research about all related factorsCFacing increasing pressure to raise students’ scores on standardized t ests,schools are urging kids to work harder by offering them obvious encouragements.Happy Meals are at the low end of the scale.With the help of businesses, schools are also giving away cars,iPods,seats to basketball games,and—in a growing number of cases—cold,hard cash.The appeal of such programs is obvious,but the consequences of tying grades to goods are still uncertain.It’s been a common tradition in middle-class families to reward top grades with cash as a way to teach that success in school leads to success in life.But for many disadvantaged minority children,the long-term benefits of getting an education are not so clear,according to experts.No one knows for sure how well cash and other big-ticket rewards work in education in the long run.But there are plenty of concerns that this kind of practice could have negative effects on kids.Virginia Shiller,a clinical psychologist,says that it’s worth experimenting with cash encouragements but that tying them to success on a test is not a worthwhile goal.“I’d rather see rewards based on effort and responsibility—things that will lead to success in life,” she says.Even if rewards don’t lead to individual achievement on a test,they could have a meaningful effect in the school.Charles McVean,a businessman and philanthropist（慈善家）,started a tutoring program which pays higher-achieving students $10 an hour to tutor struggling classmates and divides them into teams.During the course of the year,students bond and compete.The team posting the highest math scores wins the top cash prize of $100. McVean calls the combination of peer（同龄人）tutoring,competition,and cash encouragements a recipe for “nothing less than magic”.For its part,the Seminole County Public Schools system in Florida plans to continue its report card encouragement program through the rest of the school year.The local McDonald’s restaurantshelp the poor district by paying the $1,600 cost of printing the report card.Regina Klaers,the district spokeswoman,says most parents don’t seem bothered by the Happy Meals rewards.“There are many ways we try to urge students to do well,and sometimes it’s through the stomach,and sometimes it’s the probability of students winning a car,” she says,“One size doesn’t fit all.”28.According to the text,it is a common practice for schools to________.A.offer free meals to students with high scoresB.tie students’ grades to material rewardscate students to from a business senseD.cooperate with business to improve teaching29.According to the text,the long-term results of giving students cash as rewards in education are_____.A.negativeB.optimisticC.uncertainD.disappointing30.The tutoring program run by Charles McVean_______.A.hires some excellent teachers to teach the struggling studentsB.has a meaningful effect in in spiring students’ enthusiasm on studyC.is a program combining tutoring,competition and future job offersD.rewards the student with the highest scores with cash prize of $10031.We can learn that in Seminole County_____.A.there are various ways to inspire students to study hardB.many parents are not satisfied with the Happy Meals rewardsC.the local McDonald’s restaurants provide the rewards for poor studentsD.people are searching for a good-for-all method to urge students to do wellDIf you’re making determination for a healthier new year,consider a gut makeover（肠道清理）.Changing your microbe community（微生物群）,however,may not be easy,and nobody knows how long it might take.That’s because the ecosystem already established in your gut has been shaped by a da ily diet of hamburgers and pizza,for example,it won’t respond as quickly to a healthy diet as a gut shaped by vegetables and fruits that has a more varied microbe community.“The nutritional value of food is influenced in part by the microbe community tha t en-counters that food,” said Dr Jeffrey Gordon,the senior author of the new paper and director of the Center for Genome Science and Systems Biology at the Washington University School ofMedicine in St.Louis.Nutritional components of a healthy diet have to be viewed from “the inside out,” he said,“not just the outside in.”One of the questions the study set out to answer was how individuals with different diets respond when they try to improve their eating habits.The scientists harvested gut bacteria from humans,transplanted them into mice bred under germ-free conditions,and then fed the mice either American-style or plan-based diets.The scientists them analyzed changes in the mice’s microbe communities.Of interest,the scientists harvested the gut bacteria from people who followed sharply different diets.One group are a fairly typical American diet.consuming about 3.00 calories a day,high in animal proteins with few fruits and vegetables.Some of the their favorite foods were processed cheese and lunch meat.The other group consisted of people who were calorie-restricted.They are less than 1,800 calories a day and had carefully tracked what they are for at least the other group,a third fewer carbohydrates（碳水化合物）and only half the fat.This calorie-restricted group,the researchers found,had a far richer and more diverse microbe community in the gut than those eating a typical American diet.They also carried several kinds of “good” bacteria,known to promote he alth,that are unique to their plant-based diet.“Perhaps the best way to shape a healthier microbe community is to eat more fiber by consuming more fruit,vegetables,whole grains,and nuts or seeds,”said Meghan Jardine,a dietitian who was not involved in the current study but has published articles on promoting healthy microbe communities.She urges people to aim for 40 to 50 grams of fiber daily,well above levels recommended by most dietary guidelines.32.What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?A.Changing microbiome is fairly difficult.B.Ecosystem in gut is shaped by carbohydrates.C.Nutritional components are determined by food intake.D.Microbe community shaped by vegetables and fruit respond less quickly than that shaped by junk food.33.What can we learn about Meghan Jardine?A.She suggests eating as less as possible.B.She attaches great importance to fiber.C.She is one of the researchers of the current study.D.She advocates consuming more meat in daily life.34.What’s the author’s at titude toward gut makeover?A.Concerned.B.Opposed.C.Indifferent.D.Nervous.35.Which is the best title for the text?A.Microbe community in our gut.B.A gut makeover for the new year.C.Dietary guidelines for daily diets.D.The best way towards a healthier microbe community.笫二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
