A few years ago I was working a part-time summer job at a local ice cream shop.While handing an ice cream to an older woman at the drive-thru(餐车) window,I noticed she had a box of what appeared to be fresh tomatoes.If you’ve ever worked a drive-thru job,you know it’s hard not to look into someone’s car when you’re inches from his or her face.
As I handed her the ice cream,I said,“Those tomatoes look delicious!What kind are they?”
She replied with a big smile,“Here,have some!”Within seconds I had a handful of the prettiest tomatoes I had ever seen.Those tomatoes looked expensive.
“Oh,no,you don’t need to give me any!”I said.I weakly tried to protest:“Really,you didn’t have to give me any,but I appreciate it.”
The woman smiled again and said,“I hope you enjoy them.And to answer your question,it’s an heirloom(祖传的) seed that my mom used to plant.So they aren’t like the ones you get in the grocery store.”
After that she sped off.She was like an adult version of the tooth fairy:I gave her ice cream and she gave me tomatoes.
About two weeks later,my boss at the ice cream store sent me a text message:“I want to let you know your gardener dropped off a box of vegetables for you.”Baffled,I replied,“My gardener?”
That night,my boss showed me the box.It was full of tomatoes,cucumbers,green beans and so on.The tomato fairy was back!I was both happy and confused.Why was this woman being so generous?
I never saw her again,but to this day her random act of kindness inspires me to share my garden harvests with anyone who will have it.

Google’s data centres and the offices for its 60,000 staff will be powered entirely by renewable energy from next year,in what the company has called a “landmark moment”.The
internet giant is already the world’s biggest corporate buyer of renewable electricity,last year buying 44% of its power from wind and solar farms.Now it will be 100%,and an executive said it would no longer refuse to invest in nuclear power in the future.
Oman said it had taken Google five years to reach the 100% target,set in 2018,because of the complexity involved with negotiating power purchase agreements.The company’s biggest demand for energy is its data centres and it admits their overall thirst for power is growing.
Google was now looking to sign 10-year agreements for low-carbon power that was constant,such as hydro,biomass and nuclear.“We want to do contracts on renewable power,it could be biomass if the fuel source is steady and enough,it could be nuclear.We’re looking at all forms of low-carbon generation.”
But he said new nuclear power was “controversial”,the possible safety consequences were much more “dramatic”than with renewable sources,and the price was “much more difficult to guarantee” than when funding solar panels and wind turbines.“We don’t want to refuse to sign a nuclear agreement if it meets our goals of low price,safety,and other factors.We don’t want to rule that out,but today we can’t positively say there are nuclear projects out there that meet this standard,”he said.
The company’s 100% renewable energy does not mean Google is getting all its energy directly from wind and solar power,but that on an annual basis the amount it purchases from renewable sources matches the electricity its operations consume.
28.A “landmark moment” for Google refers to .
A.its efforts in saving energy
B.its growing demand for employees
C.its progress in using renewable energy
D.its becoming the world’s biggest company
29.What made Google slow in achieving its target?
A.Negotiations of agreements.
B.High consumption of energy.
C.Shortage of energy.
D.Tight budgets.
30.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A.Nuclear power is an ideal choice.
B.Solar and wind power is not safe enough.
C.It’s unwise to invest solar and wind power.
D.Google is unlikely to use nuclear energy soon.
31.What is the purpose in writing this text?
A.To show Google’s profit goal in global market.
B.To talk about Google’s new move to use energy.
C.To recommend a new kind of renewable energy.
D.To urge the public to use renewable energy.

This month,the singing competition,American Idol,will come to an end.For years,the popular show was a platform for rising artists.With a group of famous judges and a wide range of talents,it is clear that the competitive atmosphere of American Idol will remain unrivaled by any other show.After all,its success has been “unmatched in broadcasting history.”
American Idol came from the British series Pop Idol.Through an application,contestants
came into the competition and thereafter,were chosen to audition(试音) for the show.Each candidate would have to perform a piece to the judges,and participate in a strict selection process.Not only would contestants have to sing in groups,they were sometimes tasked to perform pieces without musical instruments.At the end of this stage,only 24 to 36 artists were chosen to enter the semi-final stage.Soon,the fate of the contestants would be decided by the public.During the candidate’s live performance,a free telephone number was displayed on the screen for viewers to dial,to cast their vote.At the end of the night,only 13 lucky singers would be left in the competition;by the finals,only 8 contestants would remain.Finally,a runner-up(亚军) and a winner were announced every season.Though only the winner would receive a million dollar reward and a significant record deal,other contestants would have had a chance to be known by the public.As the famous producer Simon Cowell once said,“The point of the show is not to be mean to losers,but to find a winner.”
As the final season of the program begins,past winners will return to the stage to say goodbye and a new winner will be announced.With amazing performances and an excellent cast of singers,the show’s conclusion will leave audiences nostalgic(怀旧的),but more satisfied than ever.
32.Those who enter American Idol will .
A.share the one million dollar reward together

第二节(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。

How to prepare for exam?
Here are some tips you can read with your child.
The first step in preparation for examination is to set a fixed time each day to study and a schedule to say when to start the revision and for which subject.The plan should include how many chapters to revise and how many worksheets to work on.36Parents who do not know the examination time schedule can search ‘exam timetable’to see the official examination schedule.37
The second thing is to decide on the place to study.Some need total silence in a library before they can concentrate while others like to have some background music like in the cafeteria.38 So there is no need to tell your child to change the study place if he is producing the desired results.
39For lessons,pupils must participate in lessons and discussions actively.For
exercise,work on the simple ones in the textbook.For theory,pupils can use the mind map method to summarize the facts.
At last,study smart.Focus on chapters that are the core of the subject or difficult chapters. 40
A.Next the most effective way to revise is to use an active approach.
B.Making good preparations counts.
C.Mind map can help you a lot in your revision work.
D.Your child has to be self-disciplined to follow the plan.
E.It is not necessary to simply read from first to last page.
F.The best time to start revision is one or two months before the examination.
G.Both are alright as long as your child is comfortable with it.
