AHere is' a collection of the best travel apps.Best for planningPackPointThe app customizes（定制） packing lists based on weather forecasts and a questionnaire about your trip—where you're going, when you're going, what you're doing, etc.You can get all these features with the free app; but with a $ 2. 99 in-app purchase.Best for your bodyTimeshifterThe app offers advice about when you should expose yourself to bright lights, when you should avoid caffeine, and when you should nap. The best part? It takes into account your habits, routines, and sleep patterns as it devises a personalized jet lag plan for you. The downside? You only get one free plan. After that, it's $ 9. 99 per plan or $ 24. 99 for a year of unlimited plans.Best for managing your moneyGlobeTipsDifferent countries have different tipping customs. GlobeTips can help with navigating different tipping norms across countries.Once you select a country, you have the choice to either manually enter the bill amount or let the app's bill recognition technology do it for you. Use the sliding scale to adjust tippercentages based on the app's suggestion, and it will calculate and display both the tip and your total. You can look at tipping basics for each country on the free version, but you'll have to upgrade the app for $ 4. 99 if you want to read the tip guide in full. This app is for iOS users only, however.Best for local experiencesMeetupGreat minds think alike, and they get together with the help of Meetup. The platform is all about connecting people with similar interests. It has more than 44 million users and more than 333,000 meet up groups, so you’re bound to find something. Once you find a group that interests you, you can request to become a member and attend its events. The app is free unless you’re trying to organize groups and events yourself—in which case you'll have to pay for a subscription （订购）starting at $ 9. 99.1. Which travel app is the best for planning your trip?A. PackPoint.B. Timeshifter.C. GlobeTips.D. Meetup.2. Which of the following is the best part of Timeshifter?A. Managing your money.B. Creating custom activities.C. Taking into account your sleep patterns.D. Connecting people with similar interests.3. How much will you have to pay for reading the tip guide in full?A.$ 2. 99.B. $ 4. 99.C. $ 9. 99.D. $ 24. 99.BI was shocked at the news that Daisy-May Demetre, 9, became the first child double amputee （截肢）to walk on the runway at New York Fashion Week in September on the top of the Eiffel Tower.Daisy-May, of Birmingham, was born with fibular hemimelia （腓骨半肢畸形）.The condition is rare, occurring in 1 in 50,000 births. When she was 18 months old, Daisy-May's parents chose to have both of the young girl's legs amputated—the right above the knee and the left below the knee—in the hopes of giving her a better quality of life with prosthetics（假肢）.Later on, she used prosthetic legs to help her walk and move.“We had the choice for her to live like that or to go for the operation,” Alex, Daisy- May'sfather, said. “We didn't know at the time that Daisy-May would be as good as she is now. Instead of being discouraged by prosthetic legs, she is inspiring everyone by showing them who she is.”She is, in many ways, just like any fifth-grader.、In school, she prefers English over math, and loves gymnastics. She is a gymnast as well as a model. But it's her moves on the runway that shed the most confidence.She's been modeling for 18 months and has already dominated London Fashion Week, having worked. for Nike, River Island and several other high street brands in the UK. She was even named Child of Courage in the Pride of Birmingham Awards for inspiring other children to dream big in the face of immense challenges.In the opinion of Daisy-May's father, modeling doesn't define Daisy-May. Rather, it's a small part of who she is. She just does Daisy. It is the way she goes about life with a smile on her face. Whether it's dancing, singing—she is a very special little girl.4. What caused Daisy-May to miss her both legs while still a baby?A.A rare birth illness.B. An expected accident.C. A Paris Fashion Show.D. An unsuccessful operation.5. What can we conclude from Paragraph 3?A. Daisy-May was unwilling to go to operation.B. Daisy-May was disappointed by her missing legs.C. Daisy-May's father thinks Daisy-May is amazing.D. Daisy-May's father considers Daisy-May is modest.6. Which action made Daisy-May show her most confidence?A. Speaking English fluently.B. Working out math problems.C. Doing graceful（优雅的）gymnastics.D. Walking on the runway as a model.7. In her father's opinion, what makes Daisy-May today?A. Singing and dancing in a special way.B. Taking on life with a smile on her face.C. Pursuing to become a global inspiration.D. Being determined to be a world-famous model.CEveryone has unique personalities, which makes life more interesting.Over the last 25 years, doctors have classified personalities into five basic traits（特性）, called the Big Five. Everyone can be described as having varying levels of agreeableness （随和）,conscientiousness（认真），emotional stability（情绪稳定），extroversion（外向）and openness to experience.Contrary to common knowledge, people aren't confined to certain personality types. Usually, no one is entirely an extrovert or an introvert. While a minority may be at the extreme ends of a trait, most people are somewhere in the middle. “Every personality trait is a continuous dimension. You can be very high or very low, and most people fall somewhere in between,” said Christopher Soto, a doctor at Colby College.Personality isn’t limited to humans, either. Research finds that all animals have personalities. Both the personality of animals and humans has an evolutionary origin. Evolution can a so explain why personalities vary so much. Depending on the situation, each of the Big Five can be advantageous. For example, agreeableness is great for relationships. But if a lion were charging at you, you'd be better off with a less agreeable and more aggressive personality leaning. Because the world is so unpredictable > every aspect of each personality trait、could be useful at different times, so instead of evolving a single type of personality that s first-rank for every situation, we're left with a wide variety.An evolutionary root o£ personality means traits must be inherited（继承）.So whether you’d like to admit it or not, much of your personality comes from your parents. In fact, for humans, about half of the differences in personality are genetic. The rest of the variability in personality comes from your environment.Not only does your environment shape who you are, but you can, to an extent, adjust your personality to the circumstance. You can be more outgoing at a party and more agreeable at home with your family. But you can also be introverted if you need to focus on work, or aggressive when playing a competitive sport. Humans, after all, have evolved to learn from our environments.8. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “confined” in Paragraph 3?A. Forced.B. Composed.C. Devoted.D. Limited.9. What is the key to understanding why both the personality of humans and animals vary so much?A. A personality difference.B. An environmental condition.C. An evolutionary origin.D. Human's relationship with animals.10. What personality might Mary have if Mary's parents are stubborn（顽固的）？A. Friendly.B. Stubborn.C. Considerate.D. Aggressive.11. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A. Personalities can change over time.B. Your environment shapes your personality.C. Your genetic starting point stays you forever.D. Humans have born abilities to learn from environments.DI'm always surprised when I hear the stats（统计数据）about how little time kids spend outside. One study found children are spending less than half the amount of time outdoors than they did just 20 years ago. Meanwhile, the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids spend an average of seven hours a day using electronic media.My own childhood was filled with outdoor time. I built forts in the woods, rode my bike with friends, went ice skating in the winter, climbed trees and rocks, and read books on a platform in a tree on hot days.But my nature time wasn't limited to after-school and weekend activities. I attended a public school in New York's Hudson Valley, and we spent almost all our gym outside. We spent science classes on the acres that surrounded our school, collecting samples from trees and learning about everything from chemistry to physics.All that outside time isn't just about health and getting kids to exercise more. Several studies also have linked outside time to higher test scores, lower anxiety and aggression, more creativity and improved attention spans.A public school in Vermont, is taking these results seriously. Eliza Minnucci’s kindergarten class there engages in Forest Mondays, during which the students spend the whole day in the woods, rain or shine.Minnucci said that playing outdoors involves plenty of learning. It’s fairly easy to weave lessons into nature play. Kids wanted to know the names of birds, plants, rocks and clouds. We followed streams into larger streams into larger streams into a pond and created bridges with logs and stones. We even made up stories about ants and butterfly. For the older kids, we had more defined lesson plans, but we were still outside the whole time, and we would often go offon a tangent（转向）if something interesting was happening, so the learning experience was always fresh and engaging. Besides learning and moving around freely instead of sitting at desks, the kids were having fun while they learned, which made them excited for the next lesson.12. Why does the author mention little outdoor time kids spend at the beginning of the passage?A. To make the official data known.B. To focus on children s mind and body.C. To introduce the topic for the passage.D. To explain the reason for little outdoor time.13. What does the author think of kids spending time outdoors?A. Bad for kids, attention.B. Harmful to kids, anxiety.C. Doubtful of kids' test scores.D. Beneficial to kids’ mind and body.14. What lessons does building bridges with woods and stones involve?A. Physics and teamwork.B. Chemistry and investigation.C. Biology and geology.D. Language and creativity.15. What would be the best title of the passage?A. Kids Get Creative in Playing OutdoorsB. Why Outdoor Education for Kids MattersC. Learning Outdoors Is the Goal of EducationD. Outdoor Lessons Involve Kids' Learning第二节（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。

AHow do young children learn to have good values? How can parents teach their children about the importance of kindness and patience? At a time more and more parents worry about the violent images (暴力形象) their children see on TV and on the Internet. So many parents are turning to fairy tales. They want to teach their children how to behave in society by this way.It is believed that fairy tales have a great influence on children because they describe the two sides of good and evil (邪恶) very clearly. When children hear the tales, they learn to care about others’ feelings. In each tale, they can see that there are many different kinds of people in the world and that we all have a choice about what kind of person we want to be. We can choose to do good actions, rather than bad ones, in our lives.What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales? In The Princess and the Pea, a poorly dressed girl says she is a princess. Few people believe her, so she is given a difficult test. When she passes the test, we learn that her dream comes true because she stays true to herself. In the Little Mermaid (《小美人鱼》), the mermaid, who lives under the sea, wishes to be with the humans on land. Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures.Teaching values is probably the main reason for encouraging children to read fairy tales. These tales can teach children lessons about human relationships that have been accepted around the world for many centuries. This might be the reason why theyhave been around for so long and will not disappear any time soon.1. Why do fairy tales have a great influence on children?A. Because fairy tales can teach them how to make a choice.B. Because fairy tales can help them get higher scores at school.C. Because they can learn how to avoid most difficulties in their lives.D. Because good and evil are shown in a way they can easily understand.2. Mermaid may be helpful when children ________.A. are given a difficult testB. make friends with foreignersC. wish to be a princess or princeD. are going to lie to their parents3. The author writes the text mainly to ________.A. introduce some fairy talesB. talk about the history of fairy talesC. discuss how to improve human relationshipsD. show how fairy tales help children shape values【答案】1. D 2. B 3. D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了童话故事对孩子们有重要的影响，它们可以帮助塑造孩子的价值观。

The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, "I wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window. It really looks terrible."One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean!Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirtywindow of my heart, through my own shortcomings?Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone, I asked myself first, "Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?"Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.【1】The writer couldn't see everything clearly through the window because_____.A．the woman's window was dirtyB．the writer's window was dirtyC．the woman lived nearbyD．the writer was near-sighted【2】The writer was surprised that_____.A．the woman was sitting by her windowB．the woman's window was cleanC．the woman did cleaning in the afternoonD．the woman's window was still terrible【3】The underlined sentence "It dawned on me" probably means "____".A．I began to understand it B．it cheered me upC．I knew it grew light D．it began to get dark【4】It's clear that _____.A．the writer had never met the woman beforeB．the writer often washed the windowC．they both worked as cleanerD．they lived in a small town【5】From the passage, we can learn ______.A．one shouldn't criticize others very oftenB．one should often make his windows cleanC．one must judge himself before he judges othersD．one must look at others through his dirty windows3.One day when Jack was walking in the park, he saw a woman, who lived a few miles away, sitting on a bench with a dog beside her. The dog was looking up at the woman.Jack walked up to the woman and said, "Hello, Sue, how are you? May I sit and talk with you for a while?" "Of course, please sit down," Sue said. Jack sat down next to Sue on the bench, and they talked quietly together. The dog continued to look up at Sue, as if waiting to be fed."That's a nice dog, isn't he?" Jack said, pointing at the animal."Yes, he is. He's handsome. He's a bit of a mixture, but that's not a bad thing. He's strong and healthy.""And hungry, "Jack said." He hasn't taken his eyes off you. He thinks you've got some food for him.""That's true, "Sue said." But I haven't."They both laughed and then Jack said, "Does your dog bite?""No, "Sue said, "He's never bitten anyone. He's always gentle and friendly."Hearing this, Jack decided to hold out his hand and touched the animal's head. Suddenly it jumped up and bit him."Hey!" Jack shouted."

We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get along well, which doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.There's more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if those don't have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares, if someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.【1】The first paragraph tells us __________.A．none needs friendsB．we always need friends around usC．making friends is the need in people's lifeD．we need to be alone【2】Which of the following is what the writer doesn't say in the passage?A．People are happy when their friends leave them.B．People may never see their friends after their friends move away.C．Everyone needs friends.D．People like their friends very much if they get to know them.【3】 If people have friends, they would live longer, because __________.A．they feel happier and healthierB．they get a lot of help from their friendsC．they take better care of themselvesD．both A and C【4】This passage tells us __________.A．that people are all friends B．that people need friendsC．how to get to know friends D．how to name a place5.Welcome to one of the largest collections of footwear（鞋类）in the world that will make you green with envy （嫉妒）.

Sometimes, the classmates will ask for your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation orhaving a chat with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where alarge group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say.You must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearlyenough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease (not worried) but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.ually, when you speak to the class, the class is____________.A.noisyB. quietC. having a restD. serious2.The situation in the class is _____than in your house.A.not very different fromB. sometimes the same asB.sometimes not the same as D. not the same as3.If you are having a conversation with an official, the most important thingfor you is _________.A.to show your abilityB. to be very gentleC.to make sure that you can be heardD. to put the official at ease4.The main idea of the passage is _________.A.that we should talk in different ways in different situationsB.that we must speak loudly to make ourselves heard when stating ouropinions in serious situationsC.that we must keep silent at any timeD.that we must talk with the classBA man went to a barbershop to have his hair and beard cut as always. He started to have a good conversation with the barber who attended him. They talked about so many things on various subjects.Suddenly, they touched the subject of God. The barber said, “I don’t believe that God exists as you say so.”“ Why do you day that?” asked the client(顾客). “well, it’s so easy; you just have to go out in the street to realize that God does not exist.”“Oh, tell me.”“ If God existed, would there be so many sick people? Would there be so many abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can’t think of God who permits all of these things.” The client stopped for a moment thinking but he didn’t want to respond so as to prevent an argument.The barber finished his job and the client went out of the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long hair and beard. Then the client again entered the barbershop and he said to the barber, “ Knowing what? Barbers do not exist.”“ How come they don’t exist?” asked the barber, “Well I am here and I am a barber.”“No!” the client exclaimed, “They don’t exist because if they did there would be no people with long hair and beard like that man who walks in the street.”“Ah, barbers do exist, what happens is that people do not come to me.”“Exactly!”affirmed the client. “That’s the point. God does exist, what happens is that people don’t go to him for help. That’s why there’s so much pain and suffering in the world.”1.The client was trying to prove that__________.A.God existsB. God permits suffering and painB.barbers do not exist D. people have to look for God2.According to the barber, if God existed, ________.A.there would be so many sick peopleB.there would be deserted childrenC.there would be no suffering in the worldD.there would be no people with long hair and beard in the street3.Why did the man in the street wear long hair and beard?A.he was poor and had no money to go to the barber’sB.he was not willing to go to the barber’sC.it is fashionable to wear long hair and beardD.it is not mentioned in the passage4.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A.the barber wad talkativeB. the client was very cleverC. God does existD. God does not existCPeople who eat at home most of the time have better nutrition than those who go out to eat , a recent study shows. Cornell University professors Lana Hall and Karen Bunch interviewed 3900 people in the survey. “People who eat less than 30 percent of their food away from home eat the most nutritiously,” they said.“In general, Americans don’t have nutrient deficiencies(营养不良), except for iron and calcium,” they reported. They have the opposite problem ——over—consumption(过度消耗), especially of fat.The food at many fast food restaurants is often low in vitamins. “People who eat more than 30 percent of total calories away from home eat foods that are generally low in nutrients per calorie,” the professors said. More calories and adequate nutrient intake are required to achieve.One of the major health risks is eating too much fat. The professor found than fat consumption became greater as income went up. It also wentup in houses where the female worked. This is probably because these people eat more highly processed foods.1.According to the passage, which of the following suggestions would youmost readily take?A.Eat out as many times as possibleB.Eat at home as many times as possibleC.Eat foods with a lot if iron, calcium and fatD.Eat more highly processed foods2.What is the result if people often dine out according to the passage?A.They tend to have better nutritionB.They tend to have less nutritionC.They can save a lot of timeD.They will spend much money on it3.Nowadays, a major health risk that people face is_______.A.Eating too much fast foodB.Frequent dining outC.Eating at home very oftenD.Eating too much fat4.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. Food and HealthB. The Life Style in Modern SocietyC. Fast food in the USAD. Dining out Lowers Nutrient Intake四.词汇（1*10）1.The scientist won the Nobel Prize because of the great success hehad a in physics.2.That story you have just told r me of an experience I once had.3.After 10 years in prison, he was given his f .4.

But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”-Albert EinsteinIf you have a kid with special needs in the school sy stem, chances are you’ve come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy (a medical condition affecting someone’s control over their movement ) and it means ,combined with her communication challenges and sight problems , that standard assessments (and by “standard”, I mean the ones used to assess kids with special needs ) aren’t always an accurate measure of her abilities.By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26-year-old teacher in Jacksonville, Florida ,who starts his special education class by calling up each student individually to give them much admiration and a high-five (a gesture of greeting or congratulation ). I couldn’t help but be reminded of Syona’s teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confidence and self-worth increase rapidly,” he said . All I could think was: How lucky these students are to have such inspirational teachers.Syona’s teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: awesome. Her teacher doesn’t focus on what can’t be done—she focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona’s confidence increase tenfold. She uses words she wouldn’t have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmate’s trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home .We’ve recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all possess. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.Ulmer’s reach as a teacher goes far beyond the walls of his classroom. In fact, he teaches all of us to take a moment and truly appreciate the strengths of an important person in our lives.1. What does the author think of Einstein’s quote?A. FunnyB. StrangeC. TrueD. Confusing2. What can we learn about Chris Ulmer?A. He is Syona’s favorite teacher.B. He praises his students one by oneC. He use videos to teach his studentsD. He asks his students to help each other3. Syona felt very pleased because_____.A. she has developed a cool attitudeB. her mother knew what she expressedC. her progress was appreciated by her parentsD. she had been to Ecuador with her classmate4. What change has taken place in the author’s family?A. They give each other praise every dayB. They visit Ulmer’s classroom regularlyC. They feel grateful to people in their livesD. They invite Ulmer’s students to their home2、 "Barefoot Mike" gets a lot of attention when he shows up at the beginning of a race. He loves to run and has been running since he was a kid. He loves to race, and often competes in 10K races. But that’s not the reason he gets so much attention. People notice him because when he runs, “Barefoot Mike” runs barefoot.Running barefoot has become a h uge trend in the world of running. “I didn't set out to be a trend setter,” laughed“Barefoot Mike”, otherwise known as Mike Whitaker. “I've always been a runner, but until a few years ago, I always wore shoes. Then one day I was running after a rainstorm. I stepped off into the grass to avoid a puddle(水坑) on the sidewalk, and accidentally stepped into a huge muddy puddle that had been hidden in the grass. I tried to keep running, but the wet and dirty shoe made it really hard. I figured the best solution w as to just get rid of the shoes.”Mike took off his shoes and dropped them into the nearest trash can. “Then I started running. At first I went really slowly because I was watching out for rocks or other things that could hurt my feet, but there really wer en't any problems.” He started going faster. “It felt so good!” Mike said. “My knee, which always ached, didn't ache. My foot was able to spread out so I had better balance. And my feet didn't feel all hot and sweaty. It was awesome!”“There are actually potential health benefits to running barefoot,” saidDr. Nancy Bower, a podiatrist(足科医师)．A recent study agrees. A team of researchers recently videotaped several people running —first wearing shoes and then barefoot. In almost every case, when wearing sho es, the runners tended to land on the heel of their foot, which they call “heel-striking.” Many runners have impact injuries such as knee pain. Heel striking may be the cause of these injuries or may make an existing injury worse.When running barefoot, the runners tended to land on the middle part of the foot. The force is spread out throughout the foot. The ankle, shin(胫部), knee and hip don't get the shock of a hard landing with every step.5. Why does Mike receive a lot of attention while running?A. Because he runs very fast.B. Because he loses his shoes.C. Because he wears no shoes.D. Because he wears strange clothes.6. According to Paragraph 2, why did Mike run barefoot years ago?A. He liked running barefoot.B. He was advised to run barefoot.C. His shoe became very uncomfortable.D. His dream of becoming famous motivated him.7. After running barefoot for a while a few years ago, Mike ________.A. was very tiredB. was badly hurtC. gave up runningD. felt unexpectedly great8. According to the recent study, heelstriking ________.A. is bad for one's healthB. is caused by existing injuriesC. happens when one runs barefootD. can be avoided by wearing sports shoes.3、It’s always been a rule in my family, spoken or unspoken, that you don’t waste food. With six children herself and having grown up in an even larger family through the Great Depression, my mother would never tolerate throwing out the amounts of food we see routinely these days in the dumpster. We were told simply to clean our plates, no matter whether we liked the taste or if we were not hungry or not. So this subject is deep in my genes and upbringing.Estimates are that nearly one third of all food produced is wasted. USDA estimates 31% of food available at retail (零售)level is wasted. 12% of landfill material is food. 28% of agricultural land produces food which is wasted, says the FAO. 18% of vegetables, and 12% of the apple crop are lost at the farm level in the United States., say experts.Luckily, there’s an “ugly food” movement picking up steam. “Ugly” foods are those that sellers and buyers often reject because of their appearance, like misshapen vegetables and bruised（擦伤的） fruits. Farmers dump them. Supermarkets and restaurants reject them. Now supermarkets and restaurants reject them. Consumers historically have avoided them. Now supermarkets feature the ugly. It’s fashionable. More artful terms are favored. A French supermarket chain is selling “inglorious” foods. The British chain ASDA uses “wonky（歪斜的）” (which to American ea rs might sound as bad as “ugly.”) Canada’s Loblaws uses “naturally imperfect.” Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, who has cast himself as a promoter of the “good food movement,” has signed on with some British chains to support their efforts.With the effort of Kretschmann Farm CSA’s we’ve taken the line that rather than throw away things which would be classified by others as ugly, inglorious, orimperfect, we would just give them to you and you could decide. Either we throw them away, or you can. Oftentimes this adds to the volume of the box, or makes it a little more urgent to consume (because sometimes those rejected foods are just very ripe!).9. When the author was a kid, he .A. often suffered from hungerB. was not allowed to waste foodC. had to wash plates after a mealD. didn’t like the taste of his food10. What does the underlined part “picking up steam” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Coming to an end.B. Facing a challenge.C. Making a selection.D. Becoming more popular.11. The Kretschmann Farm CSA .A. provides perfect food for customersB. sells food mot of which is very ripeC. tries to bring ugly food to customersD. encourage the consumption of food4、 Most times, what people accept as hope is a feeling or thought that something desired may happen. The word hope is a guarantee（保证）of happiness without a doubt. Hope in ancient Greek is “elpis” meaning “to expect or look forward with pleasure”. Orison Swett Marden says “there is no medicine as great and powerful expectation of something better tomorro w.”Samuel Esson Jonah is one of the world’s most influential personalities of this century. When he was young, mining for Africans was hell on earth, because they were treated very badly and there were no key positions in the industry for them because it was believed that the black could not manage their affairs successfully. Even in the face of all these challenges and discriminations, Jonah hoped to head the industry someday. When he told his workmates and parents about his hope, he became a laughing stock. Not giving up on his hope, he worked hard toward it and at last he became president of Anglo Gold Ashanti.Hope without doubt helps you to work hard until you finally achieve your aims or goals. Hope keeps one alive and also helps us persevere (坚持) to succeed. Someone may say “I’ve tried and failed several times”. As a matter of fact, failure is inevitable(无法避免的) sometimes but that doesn’t overrule your ability to succeed. The key is that you can’t give up your hope. Our history has seen many great achi evers. Though they hoped they could make it, they also failed; however, they didn’t give up on their hope. They worked even harder and eventually succeeded.Today when we can celebrate so many of them for their courage, remember “faith without work is dead”, so is your dream or hope. Samuel Similes says “Hope is the companion （伙伴） of power, the mother of success, for who so hopes strongly has within him the gift of miracles (奇迹).” So don’t let your hope down.12. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. How to remain hopeful.B. What hope really means.C. The importance of having hope.D. The relationship between hope and pleasure.13. The author uses the example of Samuel Esson Jonah mainly to _________.A. prove that hope can lead to successB. prove a lowly man can also succeedC. show the times produce their heroesD. show it’s hard for a black to succeed14. According to Paragraph 3, to succeed one should _________.A. acquire great abilityB. avoid quitting easilyC. try to understand historyD. stop being overconfident15. Which would be the best title for the text?A. Hope is just a choiceB. Keep your hope aliveC. Failure breeds successD. How to achieve success三、短文改错（共1题）1、假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

AWhen the dog named Judy spotted the first sheep in her life, she did what comes naturally. The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of direction. Then she ran along the edge of cliff( 悬崖) and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the sea. Her owner Mike Holden panicked and celled the coastguard of Cornwall, who turned up in seconds . Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.Three days later, a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken . Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holden if he would like his dog back.A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting desperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.The dog had initially（最初） been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的)but had survived by drinking water from a fresh scream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. “The dog was very thin and hungry,” Steve Tregear said , “It w as a very dog. She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water,” he added.It was ,as Mr. Holden admitted, “a minor miracle(奇迹)”.1. The dog Jody fell down the cliff when she wasA. rescuing her ownerB. running after a sheepC. blocked by a rockD. caught in a hurricane2 .Who spotted Judy after the accident?A. Six volunteersB. A student from LeedsC. A birdwatcherD. The coastguard of Cornwall3. What can we infer from the text?A. People like to travel with their pets.B. Judy was taken to the fields for hunting.C. Holden cared little where Judy was buriedD. Luck plays a vital role in Judy's survival.4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Coming Back from the Dead.B. Surviving a Hurricane.C. Dangers in the WildD. Miracle of the CoastguardBSurviving Hurricane Sandy(飓风桑迪)Natal ie Doan, 14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special, ” she says.On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridge closed.When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s frien ds had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it. ”Natalie’s choice was to help.She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced. In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who receiveda new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.Today, the scars(创痕)of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway, ” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before. ”5. When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane , she found______.A. some friends had lost their livesB. the elderly werefree from sufferingC. her school had moved to BrooklynD.her neighborhood wasdestroyed6.

Local teenagers bringing clothingto elderly people7. How did Natalie help the survivors?A. She gave her toys to the kidsB. She took careof younger childrenC. She built an information sharing platformD. She called on the WhiteHouse to help8. What does the story intend to tell us?A Technology is power B. A friend inneed is a friend indeedC. East or West, home is bestD. Little people canmake a big differenceCDriving on up to Yosemite with my family was exciting but nerve-racking (神经紧张的).I had never been to such an amazing national park before, yet I wasn’t the most athletic person so I knew that I couldn’t stick through all the hiking up and down. It actually ended up being a fun and adventurous experience.The ride there was definitely long but worth it. As I woke up from my nap, I saw the beautiful scenery of the tall mountains and beautiful streams. The trails were made nicely for visitors. The waterfalls were breathtaking. Climbing up rocks was one of my favorite parts. Even though I fell a couple of times, I still have a lot of fun. The fact that my family and I spent so much time together all trying to find out which route to take and what views to watch really brought us closer together.The great thing about nature is that, it’s just you, the views, and the people around you. There’s nothing there to bother you and it’s the best way to relax and enjoy yourself. Yosemite has 5 of the world’s highest waterfalls, and about 300 lakes. The structure of each mountain is incredible; it’s formed in ways that almost take your breath away. Some of them are of a deep dark color with waterfalls forming; some are formed with spots of green peeking (窥探) out. It’s definitely something you wouldn’t want to miss.Yosemite isn’t the only great National Park but based on my experience I highly recommend going out and enjoying nature with family and friends. It’s a great time to bond, laugh, and take in what Mother Nature offers.9. The author writes the first paragraph mainly to _____.A. tell us his future plan for hikingB. offer an example to usC. introduce the topic of this passageD. describe a national park10. While climbing up rocks, the author was _____.A. pleasedB. injuredC. nerve-rackingD. worried11. According to the passage, Yosemite _____.A. is crowded with visitors every dayB. is the only great National ParkC. is nothing but a common destinationD. is worth travelling to.12. The author suggests us _____.A. keeping a good bond with other peopleB. visiting Yosemite now and thenC. going out to enjoy the beauty of natureD. trying to protect the environmentDI am Peter Hodes ，a volunteer stem courier.

I picked up the stem cells in Providence， Rhode Island， and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check--in desk at Providence， the lady on the desk said：“Well，I’m really sorry，I’ve got some bad news for you-----there are no flights from Washington.”So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said：“ In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-----please， please，you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.”She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me.re-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.For this courier job，you’re consciously aware that in that box you’re got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s lif e.13.
