The group’s aim is to ensure that students have food in their stomachs so they can better fix their attention on the study in class.MacFarlane-Barrow, who runs Mary’s Meals on his father’s farm, told CNN that the entire operation started with a conversation he had with a teen living in a poor state. He said, “In 2002, I was in Malawi during a year of terribly short of food, and I met this family—the father had died, and the mother was dying with her six children around her. I began talking to her oldest child, Edward, who was about 14, and asked him, ‘What are your hopes?’ And he said, ‘I’d like to have enough food to eat, and I’d like to go to school one day’ ”And that was it.In its first year, the group fed 200 children in need. Since that time, it has made rapid progress. Last month, Mary’s Meals fed more than I million children every school day. That was 5 million meals every week. “The million is this amazingly important, but we are far from satisfied. Our work’s just beginning. We’v e proven that this works, and now we’v e just thinking about the next child,” said MacFarl ane-Barrow.He and the group recently celebrated the achievement (成就) in Malawi, where the program began. So far, the program has had very good results. In Malawi, schools that carried out the Mary’s Meals program saw a 24 percent increase in the number of new students within the first six months.24. Why did MacFarlane-Barrow found Mary’s Meals?A. He hoped to provide free food for poor families.B. He expected to teach children how to help others.C. He wanted to make children free of hunger in class.D. He wished to become well-known by helping others.25. What made MacFarlane-Barrow have the idea to start Mary’s Meals?A. I he conversation with a poor child.B. The terribly short of food in Malawi.C. The poor living conditions of schools.D. The success of helping a needy kid.26. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. Schools in Malawi are popular.B. No children suffer from hunger now.C. Mary’s M eals program has been very successful.D. MacFarlane-Barrow is satisfied with the present result.27. What can be the best title for the text?A. Edward’s Dream Came into RealityB. Mary’s Meals Program Shocked the WorldC. Malawi Gets Away from Being Short of FoodD. A Farmer Feeds I Million Kids Every School DayCLast year I realized I hadn’t spo ken to anyone but my family members in days.When I left my job in my late twenties to write a novel, I felt very happy. No more forcing myself awake at the early hours of the morning and worrying what to wear, no more braving the subway during rush hour. I could wake up when I felt like it and enjoy my coffee as I worked on my book.At first it was like being in heaven. But months later I began to feel lonely. It was just me, my work, and the Internet. I spent hours looking through the website instead of writing. I thought I was still connected to everyone around me but in fact I was more lonely than ever. As a result, I became more afraid of being out in the world. I warned to step away from the lonely life I had brought to myself and have a normal schedule again. Iconsidered renting an office but I realized I would still be lonely. What I had in mind something Td had all those years ago—big shared table filled with people I really liked.I phoned a friend who worked at home too and asked if she would be interested in getting an office together. She’d been feeling just as lonely as I had, so she jumped at opportunity. I asked another friend to join us, and together we found a beautiful space in my favorite part of town. Others soon heard about our office and asked if they could join. There are nine of us here now. Each of us has found that we now love the routine (日常规律) of going to work again, and we are happier than before. Now, we tire needed by other people too.In my twenties, it felt like I was going to work every day with my best friends, and for the first time in years, I feel that way again. The loneliness has gone—I finally feel like I belong again.28. With the first paragraph, the author probably meant to ________.A. show how shy she wasB. get renders to wonder the reasonC. tell readers she was ignoredD. show the kind of life she liked29.

Working at home provides one with freedom.D. It is necessary to change one’s best friends.DI really did not know much about e-waste until this passing of Earth Day. I feel pity because I am actually skilled in the technology field. While I appreciate all the ways that technology has made our lives better, it comes at an environment cost.Electronic waste, also known as “e-waste”, is the term used to describe the rapidly I wing stream of waste from useless electronics. These items include anything from computers, TVs and phones to washing machines and refrigerators. Most of these electronics are often not rubbish, but simply given up for the latest version (版本) on the market.Findings show that we produced 41.8 million tons of e-waste all over the world in 2014. Even more surprisingly, it is believed that less than one-sixth is properly recycled or reused. While the bad influence of e-waste is big and growing, most people probably don’t realize its reach. The lack (缺乏) of proper recycling leads to harmful materials going into the environment. Harmful materials cause all sorts of health problems.Maybe the worst part of this problem is that most e-waste from developed countries is exported (出口) to developing countries, which is picked over by locals who want to mine useful materials from it. The improper recovery methods are often performed by local women and children. Many survive on mining these products, but with poor practices and regulations, it comesat a much higher cost—the health of the planetand its people.32. What does the author possibly do?A. A new reporter.B. A law student.C. A technical engineer.D. An environment professor.33. E-waste refers to electronic products that _________.A. are out of dateB. are actually rubbish.C. fail to be used againD. sell badly on the market.34. According to the text, how does the public see e-waster?A. They try to avoid it.B. They think nothing of it.C. They try to make use of it.D. They make lots of research on it.55. Why do some developing countries bring in e-waste?A. To earn money.B. To study it carefully.C. To get it reused properly.D. To help take it apart.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。

But that night when my dad tried to c heer me up, my laugh turned into crying.So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe cry ing and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just a s laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, an study found that 85 percent of women and 73 p ercent of men report feeling better after crying.Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers ag ree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and fri endly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort . Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; so metimes we don't even know we' re very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can de al with them.Just as crying can be healthy, not crying — holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering — can be bad for physical (身体的) health. Studies have shown that too much control of emoti ons can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and som e other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will ce rtainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fi ght it. It's a natural— and healthy — emotional response (反应).24. Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?A. The author doesn’t give the explanation.B. Because she did not love her grandmother.C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.D. Because her father did not let her feel too sad.25. According to the author, which of the following statements is true?A. Crying is the best way to get help from others.B. Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.C. We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.D. We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.26. What might be the most suitable title for the text?A. Why We CryB. How to Keep He althyC. Power of TearsD. A New Scientific DiscoveryDDDDDCDo you love American country music? If you do, come to Nas hville. It’s the home of American country music.Nashville is the capital city of the state of Tennessee. Here yo u don’t have to go to the big auditoriums(音乐厅) to enjoy the country music. In the open air restaurants or o n the streets, you can always hear the beautiful and sweet so unding folk music.

James was particularly devoted to the cat, and when he had to leave town for several days, he left Herbert careful instructions about the pet’s care. At the end of his first da y away, James telephoned his brother, “How is Edgar?”“Edgar is dead.” Herbert answered. There was a pause. Then James said, “Herbert, you’re insensitive (漠然的). You know how close I was to Edgar. You should have broken the news to me slowly. When I asked about Edgar tonight, you should have said, ‘Edgar’s on the roof , but I have called the fire department to get him down.’ And tomorrow when I called, you could have said the firemen were having trouble getting Edgar down, but you were hopeful they would succeed. Then when I called the third time, you could have told me that the firemen have done their best, but unfortunately Edgar had fallen off the roof and was at the veterinarian’s (兽医站). Then when I called the last time, you could have said that although everything possible had been done for Edgar, he had died. That’s the way a sensitive man would have told me about Edgar. And, oh, before I forget,” James added, “how is mother?”“Oh,” Herbert said, pausing for a moment, “She’s on the roof.”1.

I don’t think so.“Health isthe greatest wealth.”wise people say. You can’t be good at y our studies or work well when you are ill. If you have aheadache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach , if you complain of a bad cough,if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think youshould go to t he doctor.The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, tes t your bloodpressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test y our eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing youhave to do is to follow his advice.Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funn y story.An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill.He told the doctor abouthis weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined himand said there was no medicine for his disease.He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He a lso advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day andtake long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.”The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, heshouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He l ooked cheerful andhappy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.“ But youknow, doctor,”he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”4.

That’s what all doctors thought , until they heard about Herpin. Herpin, it was said , never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw him sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure. Herpin died at the age of 94.8. The main idea of this passage is that_____rge numbers of people do not need sleepB. a person was found who actually didn’t need any sleepC.everyone needs some sleep to stay aliveD.people can live longer by trying not to sleep9. The doctors came to visit Herpin, expecting_____A.to cure him of his sleeplessnessB.to find that his sleeplessness was not really trueC.to find out why some old people did not need any sleepD.to find a way to free people from the need of sleeping10.

One reason that might explain Herpin’s sleeplessness was _____A.his mo ther’s injury before he was bornB.that he had gradually got rid of the sleeping habitC.his magnificent physical conditionD.that he hadn’t got a bedDTourism wasn’t as important as it is today. In the past, only people with a good deal of money could travel on holidays to other countries. More people travel today than in the past because there is a growing middle class in many parts of the world; that is to say, people now have more money for travel. Special plane fares(费用) for tourists make travel less expensive and more attractive than ever before. One person doesn’t travel for the same reason as another. But most people enjoy seeing countries that are different from their own. They also like to meet new people and to taste new food.Tourism causes many changes in a country and in people’s lives. People build new hotels and restaurants and train native men and women as guides to show visitors intere sting places. There’re new nightclubs and other amusements. International tourism is clearly a big business.12.
