While her efforts were greeted mostly with enthusiasm from those braving Detroit’s cold winters, one woman voiced dissatisfaction. “We don’t need coats; we need jobs,” she told Veronia. Then she had her second inspiration.After graduating from college in 2012, Veronia founded the Empowerment Plan, a nonprofit organiation. She hired two homeless women to sew the coats and paid them with donations she received through her blog. Now, the Empowerment Plan employs about 20 people and has produced more than 10,000 coats and distributed them in 30 states, Canada, and elsewhere abroad.“We don’t require previous employment,” Veronia says. “We’re looing for people who are motivated.” The Empowerment Plan provides free classes and lends money to those who qualify. Nearly all the employees eventually move into permanent housing, and some go on tojobs in the auto industry and construction.Veronia has bettered the coat’s design by maing its outer layer of a lightweight material that resists air, wind, and water and its inner layer of a material that stores body heat. Still, Veronia is less focused on the coats th an on the worers who mae them. “At the end of the day,” she says, “the coat is a vehicle for us to employ people.”24. What was Veronia’s second inspiration?A. Improving her coat’s design.B. Founding a nonprofit organiation.C. Profiting from the wor of those low-paid people.D. Producing more coats and distributing them abroad.25. What is the purpose of the Empowerment Plan?A. To raise more donations.B. To design better clothes.C. To provide help for the homeless.D. To offer free classes to the motivated.26. Which of the following best describes Veronia?A. Traditional but helpfulB. Greedy and unsatisfied.C. Generous but childish.D. Creative and caring.27. Which is the best title of the passage?A. Design to Fill a Need.B. The Empowerment Plan.C. Loo for Motivated People.D. How to design a coat.CFeeling blue about the world? “Cheer up.” says science writer Matt Ridley. “The world has never been a better place to live in, and it will eep on getting better both for humans and for nature.”Ridley calls himself a rational optimist—rational, because he's carefully weighed the evidence; optimistic, because that evidence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and good. And this is what he's set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent boo,The Rational Optimist. He views manind as a grand enterprise that, on the whole, has done little but progress for 100,000 years. He bacs his findings with hard facts gathered through years of research.Here's how he eplains his views.1 ) Shopping fuels inventionIt is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London alone. Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty, our own generation has access to more nutritious food, more convenient transport, bigger houses, better cars, and, of course, more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us. This will continue as long as we use these things to mae other things. The more we specialie and echange, the better off we'll be.2) Brilliant advancesOne reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer-lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needs—food, clothing, fuel and shelter—have grown a lot cheaper. Tae one eample. In 1800 a candle providing one hour's light cost si hours' wor. In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp too 15 minutes' wor to pay for. In 1950 it was eight seconds. Today it's half second.3 ) Let's not ill ourselves for climate changeMitigating (减轻) climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare as climate change itself. A child that dies from indoor smoe in a village, where the use of fossil-fuel (化石燃料) electricity is forbidden by well-meaning members of green political movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate change. If climate change proves to be mild, but cutting carbon causes real pain, we may well find that we have stopped a nose-bleed by putting a tourniquet (止血带) around our necs.28. What is the theme of Ridley's most recent boo?A. Optimism about human progress.B. Concern about climate change.C. Importance of practical thining.D. Weaness of human nature.29. How does Ridley loo at shopping?A. It demands more fossil fuels.B. It results in shortage of goods.C. It encourages the creation of things.D. It causes a poverty problem.30. The candle and lamp eample is used to show that ________.A. oil lamps give off more light than candlesB. increased production rate leads to lower cost of goodsC. advanced technology helps to produce better candlesD. shortening woring time brings about a happier life31. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?A. Cutting carbon is necessary in spite of the huge cost.B. People's health is closely related to climate change.C. Overreaction to climate change may be dangerous.D. Careless medical treatment may cause great pain.DWhen emergency worers arrive at an old firehouse in New Yor City, the way they greet each other is not what you might epect. These first responders say," Ni Hao ! " "Ni Hao" means "hello" in Mandarin Chinese.First responders are the first emergency worers to arrive at a fire, traffic accident or other emergency. Some first responders are fire fighters, while others can be Emergency Medical Technicians.In Broolyn, New Yor, over 20 first responders are studying Mandarin Chinese for about two hours a wee. The class is the first of its ind. It is offered by the New Yor City Fire Department Foundation.The U. S. Census Bureau recently reported that some New Yor neighborhoods are made up mostly of immigrants. Some people have predicted that the Chinese community is liely to become New Yor's largest immigrant group. They thin the city will have' the largest Chinese community outside of Asia.The Census Bureau also found that almost 200 languages are spoen in the city. So, nowing different languages is important, especially if you are a first responder.Lieutenant(中尉,少尉) Steve Lee is president of the Fire Department's Phoeni Society. He says that first responders must be able to communicate quicly and effectively when an emergency happens. He eplains that first responders enter neighborhoods and communities to assist regardless of where they are from. Many times first responders do not spea the same language as the people they are called to help. He adds that it is vital, or very important, that first responders are able to communicate with the people calling for help.Without help from homeowners and others, Lee adds, discovering eactly where a fire is burning can be a real problem. First responders need to as questions such as "What building? What address? What apartment?" And the most important question," Is there anybody left in the building and where?"32.Who are first responders according to Paragraph 2?A. People first learning the disaster.B. Persons leading the emergency rescue.C. Rescuers first reaching the disasterD. People first find the disaster.33.Why are the first responders in New Yor studying the Chinese language?A. To show respect to the Chinese immigrants.B. To learn about Chinese cultures much better.C. To meet the rapid growth of Chinese population.D. To find a better job in Chinese community.34.What do first responders concern most?A. The place where the fire occurs.B. The people trapped in the fire.C. The language to communicate.D. The distance covered to the fire.35.What can be a suitable title for the tet?A. Mandarin Being a Must for Emergency Worers.B. New Yor's Emergency Crews Learning Mandarin.C. Language Problem Disturbing First Responders' Wor.D. Importance of Languages Used in Emergency Rescue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。
