第二部分　阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years
Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the Supreme Court of the United States. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 25 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott (抵制). It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.
21. What is Jane Addams noted for in history
A. Her social work. B. Her teaching skills.
C. Her efforts to win a prize. D. Her community background.
22. What was the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm
A. Her lack of proper training in law.
B. Her little work experience in court.
C. The discrimination against women.
D. The poor financial conditions.
23. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text
A. They are highly educated. B. They are truly creative.
C. They are pioneers. D. They are peace-lovers.
【答案】21. A 22. C 23. C

She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need.

(1952年，当Sandra Day O’Connor以全班第三名的成绩毕业于斯坦福法学院时，她找不到律师事务所的工作，因为她是女性。)”可知，Sandra Day O’Connor被律师事务所拒绝是因为她是一位女性，也就是针对女性的性别歧视。故选C项。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years (你可能知道Marie Curie是谁，但你可能没有听说过Rachel Carson。在下面列出的杰出女性中，你认为谁是过去100年中最重要的女性？)”可知本文介绍了过去100年里的几位杰出女性；由“Jane Addams (1860-1935)”下文介绍中的“Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. …In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. (任何曾经得到过社工帮助的人都要感谢Jane Addams。Addams帮助穷人，为和平而努力。…… 1931年，Addams成为第一位获得诺贝尔和平奖的美国女性。)”可知，Jane Addams推动了社会工作的发展，帮助穷人，为和平而努力，成为第一位获得诺贝尔和平奖的美国女性；由“Rachel Carson (1907-1964)”下文介绍中的“If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans. (如果没有Rachel Carson，今天的环保运动可能就不会存在。她1962年出版的畅销书《寂静的春天》让人们意识到污染的危险，以及化学物质对人类和世界湖泊和海洋的有害影响。)”可知，Rachel Carson推动环保运动的发展，让人们意识到污染的危险；由“Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)”下文介绍中的“She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the Supreme Court of the United States. (她成为亚利桑那州参议员，并于1981年成为美国最高法院的第一位女性法官。)”可知，Sandra Day O’Connor是美国最高法院的第一位女性法官；由“Rosa Parks (1913-2005)”下文介绍中的“But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott (抵制). It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil rights movement. (但它也引发了蒙哥马利的公共汽车抵制运动。它持续了一年多，并拉开了民权运动的序幕。)”可知，Rosa Parks因为不愿在公共汽车上给一位乘客让座而入狱，这也引发了蒙哥马利的公共汽车抵制运动，拉开了民权运动的序幕；由此可知，文章中所列出的这些女性都是某些行业或运动的先驱者。故选C项。
B
A jobless man applied for a job as an office boy at a big company. The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.
“You are employed,” the HR manager said. “Give me your email address and I’ll send you the application to fill in, as well as the date when you may start.”
The man replied, “But I don’t have a computer or an email account.”
“I’m sorry,” said the HR manager. “We can’t accept persons who do not use email.”
The man left with no hope at all. With only ten dollars in his pocket, he decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10 kg tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated this three times, and returned home happily with 60 dollars.
The man realised that he could survive in this way, and started to go every day early, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers (零售商人) in the US.
He started to plan his family’s future and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker(经纪人) and chose a protection plan.
When the conversation ended, the broker asked him his email address. The man replied, “I don’t have an email account.”
The broker answered surprisingly, “You don’t have an email account, but you have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an email ” The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I’d be an office boy at a company!”
24. Why couldn’t the man have the job at the big company
A. Because he was lazy.
B. Because he didn’t pass the test.
C. Because he didn’t have an email account.
D. Because he didn’t clean the floor.
25. The underlined word “capital” can be replaced by “　　　”.

C. Accidents will happen.
D. No pains, no gains.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个人因为没有电子邮箱而求职失败，靠自己辛勤付出起早贪黑创业成功，成为了美国最大的食品零售商的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““I’m sorry,” said the HR manager, “If you don’t have an e-mail,that means you do not exist.And who doesn’t exist cannot have the job.” (“很抱歉，”人事经理说，“如果你没有电子邮箱，那就意味着你不存在。不存在的人不能有这份工作。”)”可知，这个人没有被微软公司聘用是因为他没有电子邮箱。故选C。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“With only ten dollars in his pocket(他口袋里只有10美元)”和下文“He repeated the operation three times, and returned home happily with 60 dollars.(他又操作了三次，带着60美元高高兴兴地回到了家)”可知，he succeeded to double his capital指他成功地使他的钱翻了两倍，capital指的是“钱，资金”。故选B。

C
Some people think if you are happy, you are blind to reality. But when we research it, happiness actually raises every single business and educational outcome for the brain. How did we miss this Why do we have these social misunderstandings about happiness Because we assumed you were average. When we study people, scientists are often interested in what the average is.
Many people think happiness is genetic. That’s only half the story, because the average person does not fight their genes. When we stop studying the average and begin researching positive outliers —people who are above average for a positive aspect like optimism or intelligence —a wildly different picture appears. Our daily decisions and habits have a huge impact upon both our levels of happiness and success.
Scientifically, happiness is a choice. It is a choice about where your single processor brain will devote its limited resources as you process the world. If you scan for the negative first, your brain really has no resources left over to see the things you are grateful for or the meaning embedded(嵌入) in your work. But if you scan the world for the positive, you start to acquire an amazing advantage.
I wrote the cover story for the Harvard Business Review magazine on “Happiness Leads to Profits.” Based on my article called “Positive Intelligence” and my research in The Happiness Advantage, I summarized our researched conclusion: the single greatest advantage in the modern economy is a happy and busy workforce.
A decade of research in the business world proves that happiness raises nearly every business and educational outcome: increasing sales by 37%, productivity by 31%, and accuracy on tasks by 19%, as well as a number of health and quality-of-life improvements.
28. The underlined word “this” in the first paragraph refers to .
A. the fact that people are happy
B. the connection between happiness and educational outcome
C. the fact that people often misunderstand happiness
D. the fact that most people are average
29. What can we learn from the passage
A. Scientists are only interested in what the average is.
B. You can choose to be happy or not.
C. The average are not happy at all.
D. Our decisions and habits have nothing to do with happiness.
30 Why does the writer mention his articles and research
A. To advertise himself.
B. To arouse the readers’ interest.
C. To support his point about happiness.
D. To attract the readers to read his articles.
31. What is the author’s purpose of writing this article
A. To explain what is happiness.
B. To describe the misunderstandings about happiness.
C. To show people the importance of happiness.
D. To make the point that happiness promotes business and educational outcome.
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章针对“幸福”一主题展开论述的，论述了幸福感的提升对我们日常的经济业务与教育成果有重大益处。
【28题详解】
词义猜测题。由文章第一段第二句“But when we research it, happiness actually raises every single business and educational outcome for the brain.”可知，当我们研究幸福的时候，它实际上提高了大脑的每一个业务和教育结果。故可推知，下文中的this指代的是上一句中“幸福和教育结果之间的关系”，故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段第三、四句“If you scan for the negative first, your brain really has no resources left over to see the things you are grateful for or the meaning embedded(嵌入) in your work. But if you scan the world for the positive, you start to acquire an amazing advantage.”(你如果心态消极，那么你就看不见你所感恩的东西，同样也看不到工作的意义。但是如果你积极的细看这个世界，你会开始获得令人意想不到的益处。)可知，幸福就是一个选择，你可以选择快乐你也可以选择悲伤，关键在于你自己。即：你可以选择快乐或者不快乐，故选B。
30题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段第一、二句I wrote the cover story for the Harvard Business Review magazine on “Happiness Leads to Profits.”(我为《哈佛商业评论》杂志写了一篇封面故事，题目是“快乐带来的利润”)及Based on my article called “Positive Intelligence”and my research in The Happiness Advantage.(基于我的文章《积极的智力》和我对《幸福的优势》的研究)可推知，作者提及自己写的文章和调查研究，是为了支撑中心论点——幸福感，故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第一段的“But when we research it, happiness actually raises every single business and educational outcome for the brain. How did we miss this Why do we have these social misunderstandings about happiness ”(当我们研究幸福的时候，它实际上提高了大脑的每一个业务和教育结果。我们为什么会错过这一点呢？为什么我们会对快乐产生这些社会误解呢？)可知， 本文主要围绕人的幸福感展开论述的，通过人们对幸福的不同理解和作者的佐证，以及利用研究调查得出一个重要结论——幸福感可以促进业务和增强教育成果。即：本文的写作目的是表明幸福感可以促进业务和增强教育成果，故选D。
D
3-D printers are very hot today. They are being put to all kinds of uses ranging from creating car models for movies to architectural models. However, none of these ideas are as shocking as the one suggested by Anjan Contractor, who believes that they will be the key to ending world hunger.
According to some experts, world population will increase to 10-12 billion by the end of this century. This means that food will become very expensive and possibly, even out of reach, for billions of people.
This is where 3-D printing may save the day. Anjan thinks that the only way to solve the problem will be to equip every kitchen with a 3-D printer and print out meals from tubes of powder and oil. He believes that these meals with a shelf life of over 30 years would result in less food wastage.
Most important of all, it would be easier to make food from things that we now do not consider edible (可食用的). A great example of that is the protein from meat. Most experts believe that as the population grows, the supply is not going to be enough to feed everyone. Anjan believes that we could easily get the same protein from insects. Though all this futuristic food may sound unappealing, the scientists believe that when faced with a terrible food crisis, it will be very welcomed.
While this may sound a little difficult to believe, Anjan seems to have convinced the scientists at NASA, who are looking for a solution to feeding astronauts when they go on really long missions, like the one being planned to Mars. They gave Anjan $125, 000 to start building the first real 3-D printer that creates the food.
Anjan is not the only one with this idea. A group led by Professor Hod Lipson has been experimenting with this idea since 2011 and has even succeeded in printing out cube-shaped creations from powdered milk and cookies with limited sugar!

32. The passage mainly talks about .
A. whether 3-D printers will have a bright future
B. 3-D printers will be used in every field in future
C. 3-D printers will solve the problem of the increasing population
D. whether 3-D printers will be the key to ending world hunger
33. It can be inferred that .
A. people get unappealing futuristic cube-shaped creations
B. 3-D printers can only create powdered milk and cookies
C. futuristic food that contains protein can be made by 3-D printers from insects
D. insects will be the most popular food in the future, though unappealing now
34. Which group of people are mostly in need of 3-D printers
A. The people in Africa.
B. The scientists and researchers.
C. The astronauts working in space.
D. The farmers and off-land workers.
35. Where would you be most likely to find the text
A. On a notice board.
B. In a college newspaper.
C. In an institution brochure.
D. On a high technology website.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了3D打印技术在食品制造方面的应用和前景，以及科学家们对这种技术的看法和探索。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“3-D printers are very hot today. They are being put to all kinds of uses, ranging from creating car models for movies to architectural models. However, none of these ideas are as shocking as the one suggested by Anjan Contractor, who believes that they will be the key to ending world hunger.(3D打印机现在很火。它们被用于各种用途，从为电影制作汽车模型到建筑模型。然而，这些想法都没有Anjan Contractor提出的那么令人震惊，他认为这些想法将是消除世界饥饿的关键。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述的是3D食物打印机将来很可能解决世界粮食短缺的问题。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Most important of all, it would be easier to make food from things that we now do not consider edible (可食用的).A great example of that is the protein from meat. Most experts believe that as the population grows, the supply is not going to be enough to feed everyone. Anjan believes that we could easily get the same protein from insects. Though all this futuristic food may sound unappealing, the scientists believe that when faced with a terrible food crisis, it will be very welcomed.(最重要的是，用我们现在认为不能食用的东西来制作食物会更容易。一个很好的例子就是肉类中的蛋白质。大多数专家认为，随着人口的增长，粮食供应将不足以养活所有人。Anjan相信我们可以很容易地从昆虫中获得同样的蛋白质。虽然所有这些未来的食物听起来可能没有吸引力，但科学家们相信，当面临可怕的粮食危机时，它们将非常受欢迎。)”可知，未来人们所摄取的蛋白质可以由3D打印机从昆虫身上获取。故选C。

【36题详解】
根据空格后的句子“However, what you may not have learned is how much water you need in order to be healthy. （然而，你可能不知道你需要多少水才能保持健康）”可知，空格处的句子应该提到“你可能知道我们的身体需要水或水对我们的身体很重要”，所以G项“You also learned how it is important to our body.（你也了解了它对我们身体的重要性。）”填入空格处，和下文构成转折关系，符合语境，G项中的also learned和上文的learned是对应的。故选G 。
【37题详解】
根据空格前的句子“Your body needs water to control body temperature and to carry nutrients to all parts of the body.（你的身体需要水来控制体温，并将营养物质输送到身体的各个部位。）”和空格后的句子“When you are very active, for example, playing football, you’ll lose more water. If you don’t drink water at once, it will do harm to your health.（当你非常活跃的时候，比如踢足球，你会失去更多的水分。如果你不马上喝水，它会损害你的健康。）”可知，空格处的句子应该是说“水对身体的保护作用”，所以F项“Water can also play an important part in protecting your body.（水在保护你的身体方面也起着重要的作用。）”填入空格处，符合语境。故选F项。
【38题详解】
根据空格后的句子“Take your weight in pounds and divide that number in half 。That gives you the number of ounces of water that you need to drink per day.（把你的体重(以磅为单位)除以两半。这就是你每天需要喝的水的盎司数。）”可知，空格处的句子应该提到应该喝多少水的问题，所以C项“How much water do you need to drink every day （你每天需要喝多少水 ）”填入空格处，符合语境。故选C项。
【39题详解】
根据空格前的句子“Twenty percent of your water need will come from the foods you eat.（你所需的20%的水将来自你所吃的食物。）”和空格后的句子“Water is the best choice.（水是最好的选择。）”可知，空格处的句子应该是提到身体所需要的水来自哪里，所以B项“The rest should come from what you drink.（其余的应该来自你喝的东西。）”填入空格处和上下文是顺接关系，符合语境。故选B项。
【40题详解】
根据空格前的句子“Sodas have a lot of sugar in them, so if you drink sodas, you may take in more calories than you need.（苏打水含有大量的糖，所以如果你喝苏打水，你可能会摄入比你需要的更多的卡路里。）”可知，空格处句子应该涉及到和什么饮料更好，所以D项“Juices are good because they have lots of nutrients.（果汁很好，因为它们有很多营养。）”填入空格处，符合语境。故选D项。

三、语篇填空
Easy Ways to Build Vocabulary
It's not all that hard to build an advanced and large vocabulary. Like many things in life, it's ___56___ongoing process, and the best part of the process is that there's enough room for improvement, ___57___means you'll just keep getting better and better. Of course you have to work at it. You wouldn't think that a few ___58___(month) of exercise in your teens would be enough ___59___ the rest of your life, and that's also true for building your vocabulary--you have to keep at it daily, and pretty soon you will find that you have an excellent vocabulary.
One of the ___60___(effect) ways to build vocabulary is to read good books. You need to ___61___(real) read at least one good book a week, preferably a classic. This isn't as hard as it ___62___(sound), and it is far better than any other method because you improve your vocabulary while ___63___(read) an interesting piece of literature. Another nice thing is that you learn both new words and ___64___(they) use unconsciously, meaning that you will tend to use the words ___65___(learn) this way in conversations almost automatically.
【答案】56. an 57. which
58. months 59. for
60. most effective
61. really 62. sounds
63. reading
64. their 65. learned
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。讲述了轻松积累词汇的几种方法。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意：和生活中许多事情一样，积累词汇也是一个不断发展的过程。由语境可知填“一个”，欧宁以元音音素开头， “一个”用不定冠词an表示泛指。故填an。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意：通过分析句子结构可知，_______means you'll just keep getting better and better.是定语从句，空白处所填的词指代逗号前的there’s enough room for improvement，which在句中为关系代词，引导非限定性定语从句，并在句中作主语。故填which。
【58题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意：你认为青少年时期几个月的记忆锻炼不够。month为可数名词，且由a few可知month应用复数形式。故填months。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意：几个月的记忆锻炼对于余生是不够的。be enough for sth 对······已足够。故填介词for。
【60题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：读好书是扩大词汇量最有效的方法之一。此处要表达的是“最有效的方法之一”，因此填most effective。
【61题详解】
考查词性转换。句意：你需要一周至少真正读一本书。此处应用副词修饰动词 read，因此填really。
【62题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：这件事并不像听起来那么难。描述的是一般事实，而且主语为it，因此用sound的一般现在时第三人称单数形式。故填sounds.
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：你在阅读一篇有趣的文学故事时增长词汇量。逻辑主语you与动词read为主动关系，故用现在分词reading ... 作状语；也可视为状语从句while you are reading... 的省略形式。故填reading。
【64题详解】
考查代词。句意：另一个好处是你不知不觉中学习到了新词和它们的用法。use在此处是名词，故用形容词性物主代词their作定语。故填their。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：你自然会在对话中使用这些词汇。learned / learnt作后置定语修饰words，表示“已学过的词”， words与learn是被动的关系，因此用过去分词。故填learned/learnt。
【点睛】语法填空分有提示词和无提示词两类。本篇语法填空题的设空有提示词的7个,无提示词的3个。因此,有提示词类是高考语法填空测试的重点。1.有提示词的都是实词,要求用括号里所给词的适当形式填空。所给词包括动词、形容词、名词和代词四类, 2.无提示词。包括（冠词、介词、连词、从句关系词）。例如：一. 动词的形态变化，即时态（重点考察一般过去时，一般现在时）、被动语态、虚拟语气、祈使句和非谓语动词（v-ing, v-ed, to do 作主语、状语、定语（前置、后置定语）等This isn’t as hard as it___7___(sound),根据前面的谓语isn’t得知描述的是一般事实，主语为第三人称it，因此用sound的一般现在时也要用第三人称单数形式。故填sounds.because you improve your vocabulary while___8___(read) an interesting piece of literature.前后主语一致，逻辑主语you与动词read为主动关系，故用现在分词reading ... 作状语；也可视为状语从句while you are reading... 的省略形式，省略主语和be动词。故填reading。you will tend to use the words___10___(learn)this way in conversations almost automatically.前面有谓语动词，划线动词和前一句没有连词，可以判定出填非谓语形式。learned / learnt作后置定语修饰words，表示“已学过的词”， words与learn是被动的关系，因此用过去分词。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The eight-year-old Carol lived with her father David, Mother May and elder brother Rob. The little family happily lived in a beautiful village surrounded with beautiful nature. The village was at the foot of a mountain, with beautiful views of the snowy mountain. The family survived on growing seasonal plants and trees. Their life is totally surrounded by nature and beauty.
While they lived a very happy life, Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the village. She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life. She wanted to shop, move around the city, watch movies, and eat in fantastic restaurants and cafes, etc.
However, there was hardly any chance that Carol's family moved to the city as they had everything in the village.
One day, Carol fell asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep. Of course, she had a strange dream. She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased grandmother granted her a wish. Carol requested her that she should love to enjoy the city life as she always desired.
Grandmother understood the desire of Carol, but still wanted to convince her that the peaceful village life is better than the city life.
She told Carol, “Baby, you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home. You cannot breathe fresh air. You cannot play with animals. You can hardly find any trees. You will not find peace as you see here! Do you still want to go to the city ”
Without hearing the concerns, Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish. Grandmother granted her wish, but with a condition. Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city. Later, she would return to the village. Carol agreed.
注意：
1)所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右；
2)续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Carol then found herself in the city with her friends. Carol and her friends went to watch movies. After that they ate delicious food in a restaurant and shopped in a huge mall. Carol was happy that she had the chance to experience the life in the city. Yet at the same time, she understood that everything told by her grandmother was true in the city. There was no peace and no silences; the city life was fast and rushing. The air quality was not satisfying. She could hardly find any animal or even a tree.
Paragraph 2:
Carol's brother Rob was calling her for lunch and Carol woke up. She recalled what happened just now in her dream and realized that her life in the village with her family was far more wonderful than the city life. Carol understood that she was having a more joyful life. She shared her dream with her family while enjoying the fresh fruits and vegetables, and they laughed together. Carol also developed a love for plants, animals and beautiful nature.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Carol和她的父亲 David，母亲May，哥哥Rob幸福地生活在农村，没机会去城市。一天她做了一个梦，梦中见到了她的奶奶，她希望奶奶让她过上渴望的城市的生活。奶奶给她讲了城市的生活，后来她又回到了自己的村子。

Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the Supreme Court of the United States. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 25 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott (抵制). It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.

A jobless man applied for a job as an office boy at a big company. The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.
“You are employed,” the HR manager said. “Give me your email address and I’ll send you the application to fill in, as well as the date when you may start.”
The man replied, “But I don’t have a computer or an email account.”
“I’m sorry,” said the HR manager. “We can’t accept persons who do not use email.”
The man left with no hope at all. With only ten dollars in his pocket, he decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10 kg tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated this three times, and returned home happily with 60 dollars.
The man realised that he could survive in this way, and started to go every day early, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers (零售商人) in the US.

When the conversation ended, the broker asked him his email address. The man replied, “I don’t have an email account.”
The broker answered surprisingly, “You don’t have an email account, but you have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an email ” The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I’d be an office boy at a company!”
24. Why couldn’t the man have the job at the big company

Some people think if you are happy, you are blind to reality. But when we research it, happiness actually raises every single business and educational outcome for the brain. How did we miss this Why do we have these social misunderstandings about happiness Because we assumed you were average. When we study people, scientists are often interested in what the average is.
Many people think happiness is genetic. That’s only half the story, because the average person does not fight their genes. When we stop studying the average and begin researching positive outliers —people who are above average for a positive aspect like optimism or intelligence —a wildly different picture appears. Our daily decisions and habits have a huge impact upon both our levels of happiness and success.
Scientifically, happiness is a choice. It is a choice about where your single processor brain will devote its limited resources as you process the world. If you scan for the negative first, your brain really has no resources left over to see the things you are grateful for or the meaning embedded(嵌入) in your work. But if you scan the world for the positive, you start to acquire an amazing advantage.
I wrote the cover story for the Harvard Business Review magazine on “Happiness Leads to Profits.” Based on my article called “Positive Intelligence” and my research in The Happiness Advantage, I summarized our researched conclusion: the single greatest advantage in the modern economy is a happy and busy workforce.
A decade of research in the business world proves that happiness raises nearly every business and educational outcome: increasing sales by 37%, productivity by 31%, and accuracy on tasks by 19%, as well as a number of health and quality-of-life improvements.
28. The underlined word “this” in the first paragraph refers to .
A. the fact that people are happy
B. the connection between happiness and educational outcome
C. the fact that people often misunderstand happiness
D. the fact that most people are average
29. What can we learn from the passage
A. Scientists are only interested in what the average is.
B. You can choose to be happy or not.
C. The average are not happy at all.
D. Our decisions and habits have nothing to do with happiness.
30. Why does the writer mention his articles and research
A. To advertise himself.
B. To arouse the readers’ interest.
C. To support his point about happiness.
D. To attract the readers to read his articles.
31. What is the author’s purpose of writing this article
A. To explain what is happiness.
B. To describe the misunderstandings about happiness.
C. To show people the importance of happiness.
D. To make the point that happiness promotes business and educational outcome.

3-D printers are very hot today. They are being put to all kinds of uses, ranging from creating car models for movies to architectural models. However, none of these ideas are as shocking as the one suggested by Anjan Contractor, who believes that they will be the key to ending world hunger.
According to some experts, world population will increase to 10-12 billion by the end of this century. This means that food will become very expensive and possibly, even out of reach, for billions of people.
This is where 3-D printing may save the day. Anjan thinks that the only way to solve the problem will be to equip every kitchen with a 3-D printer and print out meals from tubes of powder and oil. He believes that these meals with a shelf life of over 30 years would result in less food wastage.
Most important of all, it would be easier to make food from things that we now do not consider edible (可食用的). A great example of that is the protein from meat. Most experts believe that as the population grows, the supply is not going to be enough to feed everyone. Anjan believes that we could easily get the same protein from insects. Though all this futuristic food may sound unappealing, the scientists believe that when faced with a terrible food crisis, it will be very welcomed.
While this may sound a little difficult to believe, Anjan seems to have convinced the scientists at NASA, who are looking for a solution to feeding astronauts when they go on really long missions, like the one being planned to Mars. They gave Anjan $125, 000 to start building the first real 3-D printer that creates the food.
Anjan is not the only one with this idea. A group led by Professor Hod Lipson has been experimenting with this idea since 2011 and has even succeeded in printing out cube-shaped creations from powdered milk and cookies with limited sugar!

32. The passage mainly talks about .
A. whether 3-D printers will have a bright future
B. 3-D printers will be used in every field in future
C. 3-D printers will solve the problem of the increasing population
D. whether 3-D printers will be the key to ending world hunger
33. It can be inferred that .
A people get unappealing futuristic cube-shaped creations
B. 3-D printers can only create powdered milk and cookies
C. futuristic food that contains protein can be made by 3-D printers from insects
D. insects will be the most popular food in the future though unappealing now
34. Which group of people are mostly in need of 3-D printers
A. The people in Africa.
B. The scientists and researchers.
C. The astronauts working in space.
D. The farmers and off-land workers.
35. Where would you be most likely to find the text
A. On a notice board.
B. In a college newspaper.
C. In an institution brochure.
D. On a high technology website.

The eight-year-old Carol lived with her father David, Mother May and elder brother Rob. The little family happily lived in a beautiful village surrounded with beautiful nature. The village was at the foot of a mountain, with beautiful views of the snowy mountain. The family survived on growing seasonal plants and trees. Their life is totally surrounded by nature and beauty.
While they lived a very happy life, Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the village. She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life. She wanted to shop, move around the city, watch movies, and eat in fantastic restaurants and cafes, etc.
However, there was hardly any chance that Carol's family moved to the city as they had everything in the village.
One day, Carol fell asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep. Of course, she had a strange dream. She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased grandmother granted her a wish. Carol requested her that she should love to enjoy the city life as she always desired.
Grandmother understood the desire of Carol, but still wanted to convince her that the peaceful village life is better than the city life.
She told Carol, “Baby, you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home. You cannot breathe fresh air. You cannot play with animals. You can hardly find any trees. You will not find peace as you see here! Do you still want to go to the city ”
Without hearing the concerns, Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish. Grandmother granted her wish, but with a condition. Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city. Later, she would return to the village. Carol agreed.
