In her 17 years on this earth, Shreyaa Venkat has done more to help the planet and the people living on it than many adults. The non-profit organization she founded, NEST4US, has helped tens of thousands of people in the United States. Through it, it’s served over 12,000 homeless people in the Washington, D.C. area by providing food and other supplies.
Venkat’s passion for helping others started as soon as she could walk, as her parents, active volunteers themselves, brought her along on their various projects, like some creative ways to volunteer. By fifth grade, she’d developed such enthusiasm for it that she started organizing her own service projects in her community.
NEST4US was born when she realized how much food waste there is, how many hungry people there are, and how simple it would be to use the former to help the latter. “There was a homeless man standing on a corner in D.C. and he was holding a sign that said ‘Hungry Need Food’,” she recalls. “So I gave him my lunch and his whole face just lit up. It was so easy, it only took me 30 seconds, and it really helped him.”
As NEST4US took off, with hundreds of volunteers helping to feed thousands of hungry people, Venkat decided to branch out with her volunteer efforts, starting three other branches of NEST4US. Serving others had become such a way of life for her that she even celebrated her 13th birthday at a homeless shelter, bringing the party to them instead of expecting gifts for herself.
As much as she has helped others, they’ve helped her too. Not only does she get a lot of joy and personal satisfaction from her volunteer work but running NEST4US has taught her important life skills like time management, public speaking, writing, and leadership. “What it’s really given me is this opinion of putting other people first,” she says.
24. What can we infer about NEST4US from the first paragraph
A. Its main aim is to make money. B. It offers people cheap supplies.
C. It takes in all homeless people. D. It is a charity organization.
25. What caused Venkat to set up NEST4US
A. Her parents’ constant suggestion. B. The memory of her hard childhood.
C. Her experience of helping a hungry man. D. Volunteers’ great influence on her.
26. Why did Venkat spend her 13th birthday at a homeless shelter
A. She held a grand party for many people.
B. She could receive many nice gifts there.
C. She got much personal satisfaction from it.
D. She saw helping others as part of her life.
27. Which of the following best describes Shreyaa Venkat
A. Caring. B. Ambitious.
C. Humorous. D. Demanding.
C
Taking a break during the workday is important but how often do we actually make the time to do it？For most, an eight-hour workday just doesn't seem like enough and we end up sacrificing moments of peace to make room for more moments of productivity, but according to a new study, skipping that lunch break could actually be hurting our performance.
Amazing as it may seem, taking time away from work to enjoy a short walk or a few minutes of mindful thought throughout the day can actually have positive effects on your end of day concentration and help you feel less tired after you are off work.
Scientists tasked workers in intellectually (智力上地) demanding fields-education, engineering and finance-with taking a short 15-minute walk or doing 15 minutes of mindful thinking during their lunch breaks every day for two weeks.The participants were asked to report how they were feeling near the end of the day during, before and after the study.They also filled out a short questionnaire every night, asking how much they enjoyed their lunch break The results：those who took a break to walk or mindfully relax were significantly less stressed and able to perform better at the end of the workday than those who took no breaks.Mindful relaxation in particular helped people feel less anxious at the end of the day.
According to the study, walk in nature can lead to"attention restoration"—recovery from cognitive（认知的）overload after focus and mindful relaxation can increase our positive feelings, relieve stress and start focus.
So the next time you think you should skip your lunch break to get that big project done, take a breath and consider giving yourself a moment of peace. It might just make you a more productive employee.
28. What phenomenon is mainly described in the first paragraph
A. Overwork for productivity.
B. Better performance on jobs.
C. Inappropriate working ways.
D. Peaceful work environment.
29. What may make people more relaxed after work
A. Their walk with their colleagues.
B. Their good food for lunch.
C. Their timely relaxation.
D Their whole devotion.
30. Why did the scientists test the workers
A. To check their physical health.
B. To see the effect of lunch break.
C. To see how long they relax daily.
D. To check if they live an active life.
31. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To tell how to perform better.
B. To show the importance of attention.
C. To introduce the life of employees.
D. To advise people to take a lunch break during work.
D
Thanks to its cold environment, Antarctica remained largely untouched by humans for thousands of years. However, since the 1990s, the last true wilderness on the planet is becoming an increasingly popular destination for adventure-seeking tourists. Now, a new study states that the visitors may be leaving behind harmful bacteria(细菌) which could devastate the area’s native bird population.
Researchers believed that the Antarctic creatures were not affected by the danger due to the continent’s extreme weather. However, microbiologist Marta Cerdà-Cuéllar was not convinced this was true. She and some colleagues decided to examine samples from Antarctic birds for evidence of human bacteria. To ensure the waste was not polluted, the scientists had to collect it from the birds themselves. This was no easy task. If they missed catching a skua at first go, the bird never came close again.
It took the scientists four years, from 2008—2011, to collect fecal(粪便) samples of 666 adult birds from 24 local species. The results of their study revealed the presence of several types of human bacteria in the bird waste.
＂While we should do as much as possible to reduce transmission, it’s hard to believe that we will stop tourism and science at these sites, and so it is hard to believe that humans won’t continue to transmit pathogens(病原体).＂ said Kyle Elliott.
Experts, including González-Solís, believe the only way to prevent the mass destruction of the birds, is to introduce stricter regulations or, at least, obey the ones already in place. For example, while the Antarctica Treaty states clearly visitors carry their waste back home to protect the original environment, the regulation is rarely obeyed. Hopefully, officials will take steps to protect the easily hurt birds before it’s too late.
32. What does the underlined word ＂devastate＂ in Para. 1 mean
A. Increase. B. Destroy. C. Affect. D. Block.
33. What can be said about scientists finding the waste from the birds
A. This was not an easy task.
B. This proved their conclusion.
C. Their tempers contributed a lot.
D. They found polluted human bacteria.
34. How does Kyle Elliott feel when mentioning reducing tourism
A. Hopeless. B. Difficult. C. Impossible. D. Delighted.
35. What is the author’s suggestion to protect Antarctica birds
A. Make new strict rules.
B. Quit the Antarctica Treaty.
C. Take measures as soon as possible.
D. Encourage officials to strengthen cooperation.

Early in the morning I went to the ocean beach to play my guitar.The usually crowded beach was deserted except for two people.On one side of the boardwalk (木板人行道)was a woman who was cleaning the beach with a broom;on the other side was a lone figure sitting and staring at the sea.I chose a spot between them and began to play.
As I played,the woman with the broom swept her way right next to me.She stopped sweeping and leaned on her broom,smiling at me.She appeared to be homeless with dirty mismatched clothes.
"You sure play beautiful music,” she said.“I think my friend would like your music.I want to hire you to play for her.” She pointed to the lone figure staring out at the ocean, then produced a few coins from her pocket.“I don’t have much,and I know you’re worth a lot, but if I give this to you, will you play a song for her She’s going through a lot.I know the music will make her feel better.”
I told her I’d be happy to play for free.
As we walked over to her friend,the Broom Lady told me that her friend had not talked for weeks.We approached,and the Broom Lady introduced me,“Annie,I got you a present to cheer you up.It’s a guitar man who is going to play a song specially for you.”

【原文】As a small child, I often wrote poems and short stories. My primary school teacher was impressed and would read my work to my classmates. I felt proud of my talent, and decided that one day I would become a famous writer. In high school, I continued to write and even started my first novel. I also wrote for the school newspaper, and for several years I’ve considered becoming a reporter. I began studying journalism and communication at university. But within a few months, I realized that I had changed my mind. I was so busy with my studies that I didn’t have time to write fiction, and I really missed it. So, with the help of my professor, I changed my major and gained a literature degree, and I was much happier. After university, I got a job to write blogs for a small newspaper office. I continued my creative writing in my spare time and started to write science fiction.I often wondered if I’d ever finish it! But I was determined to succeed. It took me eight years in total to finish the fiction. And until 14 months ago, I finally found a publisher for my book. It’s due to be published in six months! I can’t wait and I’m so glad that I never give up.

In her 17 years on this earth, Shreyaa Venkat has done more to help the planet and the people living on it than many adults. The non-profit organization she founded, NEST4US, has helped tens of thousands of people in the United States. Through it, it’s served over 12,000 homeless people in the Washington, D.C. area by providing food and other supplies.
Venkat’s passion for helping others started as soon as she could walk, as her parents, active volunteers themselves, brought her along on their various projects, like some creative ways to volunteer. By fifth grade, she’d developed such enthusiasm for it that she started organizing her own service projects in her community.
NEST4US was born when she realized how much food waste there is, how many hungry people there are, and how simple it would be to use the former to help the latter. “There was a homeless man standing on a corner in D.C. and he was holding a sign that said ‘Hungry Need Food’,” she recalls. “So I gave him my lunch and his whole face just lit up. It was so easy, it only took me 30 seconds, and it really helped him.”
As NEST4US took off, with hundreds of volunteers helping to feed thousands of hungry people, Venkat decided to branch out with her volunteer efforts, starting three other branches of NEST4US. Serving others had become such a way of life for her that she even celebrated her 13th birthday at a homeless shelter, bringing the party to them instead of expecting gifts for herself.
As much as she has helped others, they’ve helped her too. Not only does she get a lot of joy and personal satisfaction from her volunteer work but running NEST4US has taught her important life skills like time management, public speaking, writing, and leadership. “What it’s really given me is this opinion of putting other people first,” she says.
24. What can we infer about NEST4US from the first paragraph
A. Its main aim is to make money. B. It offers people cheap supplies.
C. It takes in all homeless people. D. It is a charity organization.
25. What caused Venkat to set up NEST4US
A. Her parents’ constant suggestion. B. The memory of her hard childhood.
C. Her experience of helping a hungry man. D. Volunteers’ great influence on her.
26. Why did Venkat spend her 13th birthday at a homeless shelter
A. She held a grand party for many people.
B. She could receive many nice gifts there.
C. She got much personal satisfaction from it.
D. She saw helping others as part of her life.
27. Which of the following best describes Shreyaa Venkat
A. Caring. B. Ambitious.
C. Humorous. D. Demanding.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. D 27. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了从小受父母影响就乐于助人的Shreyaa Venkat长大后建立了名为NEST4US的慈善组织，为华盛顿的流浪人士提供食物和生活用品。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“The non-profit organization she founded, NEST4US, has helped tens of thousands of people in the United States. Through it, it’s served over 12,000 homeless people in the Washington, D.C. area by providing food and other supplies.”可知，NEST4US这个组织是非盈利的，主要给华盛顿的流浪人士提供食物和必需品，显然是一个慈善组织。故选D项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“NEST4US was born when she realized how much food waste there is, how many hungry people there are, and how simple it would be to use the former to help the latter.”和Venkat自述的内容可知，就是通过帮助一个流浪汉吃到饭的经历，让她意识到有很多饥饿的人需要接济，从而产生了建立自己的慈善组织的想法。故选C项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Serving others had become such a way of life for her that she even celebrated her 13th birthday at a homeless shelter, bringing the party to them instead of expecting gifts for herself.”可知，为他人服务已经成了Venkat的生活方式，因此她才会在生日那天仍然奔忙在帮助别人的路上，与D选项描述相符。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“Serving others had become such a way of life for her that she even celebrated her 13th birthday at a homeless shelter, bringing the party to them instead of expecting gifts for herself.”以及全文内容可知，Venkat专注于慈善事业，热衷于帮助他人，她是一个善良、富有同情心人，与A选项最相符。故选A项。

Taking a break during the workday is important but how often do we actually make the time to do it？For most, an eight-hour workday just doesn't seem like enough and we end up sacrificing moments of peace to make room for more moments of productivity, but according to a new study, skipping that lunch break could actually be hurting our performance.
Amazing as it may seem, taking time away from work to enjoy a short walk or a few minutes of mindful thought throughout the day can actually have positive effects on your end of day concentration and help you feel less tired after you are off work.
Scientists tasked workers in intellectually (智力上地) demanding fields-education, engineering and finance-with taking a short 15-minute walk or doing 15 minutes of mindful thinking during their lunch breaks every day for two weeks.The participants were asked to report how they were feeling near the end of the day during, before and after the study.They also filled out a short questionnaire every night, asking how much they enjoyed their lunch break The results：those who took a break to walk or mindfully relax were significantly less stressed and able to perform better at the end of the workday than those who took no breaks.Mindful relaxation in particular helped people feel less anxious at the end of the day.
According to the study, walk in nature can lead to"attention restoration"—recovery from cognitive（认知的）overload after focus and mindful relaxation can increase our positive feelings, relieve stress and start focus.
So the next time you think you should skip your lunch break to get that big project done, take a breath and consider giving yourself a moment of peace. It might just make you a more productive employee.
28. What phenomenon is mainly described in the first paragraph
A. Overwork for productivity.
B. Better performance on jobs.
C. Inappropriate working ways.
D. Peaceful work environment.
29. What may make people more relaxed after work
A. Their walk with their colleagues.
B. Their good food for lunch.
C. Their timely relaxation.
D. Their whole devotion.
30 Why did the scientists test the workers
A. To check their physical health.
B. To see the effect of lunch break.
C. To see how long they relax daily.
D. To check if they live an active life.
31. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To tell how to perform better.
B. To show the importance of attention.
C. To introduce the life of employees.
D. To advise people to take a lunch break during work.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文，研究表明，适当的午休有助于减少工作压力和提高工作效率。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“an eight-hour workday just doesn't seem like enough and we end up sacrificing moments of peace to make room for more moments of productivity” 一天工作八小时似乎还不够，我们会牺牲片刻的平静来为更多的工作时间腾出空间。可知人们工作时间太长。故选A项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“taking time away from work to enjoy a short walk or a few minutes of mindful thought throughout the day can actually have positive effects on your end of day concentration and help you feel less tired after you are off work.” 从工作中抽出时间来散散步，或者花上几分钟思考一下，这对你在一天结束时的专注力有积极的影响，还能让你下班后感觉不那么累。所以及时的放松有助于人们工作之后更加轻松。故选C项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The results：those who took a break to walk or mindfully relax were significantly less stressed and able to perform better at the end of the workday than those who took no breaks.” 结果是：那些休息了一会儿走路或专心放松的人压力明显更小，在工作日结束时比那些不休息的人表现更好。从结果可以看出第二段提出的放松之后，人们的工作压力更小，表现更好，所以科学家测试工作者是为了看看午休的影响。故选B项。
31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“So the next time you think you should skip your lunch break to get that big project done, take a breath and consider giving yourself a moment of peace.” 所以，下次当你认为你应该跳过午餐休息去完成那个大项目时，深呼吸，考虑给自己片刻的安宁。作者写这篇文章的目的就是建议人们工作的时候午休，故选D项。

Thanks to its cold environment, Antarctica remained largely untouched by humans for thousands of years. However, since the 1990s, the last true wilderness on the planet is becoming an increasingly popular destination for adventure-seeking tourists. Now, a new study states that the visitors may be leaving behind harmful bacteria(细菌) which could devastate the area’s native bird population.
Researchers believed that the Antarctic creatures were not affected by the danger due to the continent’s extreme weather. However, microbiologist Marta Cerdà-Cuéllar was not convinced this was true. She and some colleagues decided to examine samples from Antarctic birds for evidence of human bacteria. To ensure the waste was not polluted, the scientists had to collect it from the birds themselves. This was no easy task. If they missed catching a skua at first go, the bird never came close again.
It took the scientists four years, from 2008—2011, to collect fecal(粪便) samples of 666 adult birds from 24 local species. The results of their study revealed the presence of several types of human bacteria in the bird waste.
＂While we should do as much as possible to reduce transmission, it’s hard to believe that we will stop tourism and science at these sites, and so it is hard to believe that humans won’t continue to transmit pathogens(病原体).＂ said Kyle Elliott.
Experts, including González-Solís, believe the only way to prevent the mass destruction of the birds, is to introduce stricter regulations or, at least, obey the ones already in place. For example, while the Antarctica Treaty states clearly visitors carry their waste back home to protect the original environment, the regulation is rarely obeyed. Hopefully, officials will take steps to protect the easily hurt birds before it’s too late.
32. What does the underlined word ＂devastate＂ in Para. 1 mean
A. Increase. B. Destroy. C. Affect. D. Block.
33. What can be said about scientists finding the waste from the birds
A This was not an easy task.
B. This proved their conclusion.
C. Their tempers contributed a lot.
D. They found polluted human bacteria.
34. How does Kyle Elliott feel when mentioning reducing tourism
A. Hopeless. B. Difficult. C. Impossible. D. Delighted.
35. What is the author’s suggestion to protect Antarctica birds
A. Make new strict rules.
B. Quit the Antarctica Treaty.
C. Take measures as soon as possible.
D. Encourage officials to strengthen cooperation.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【分析】本文为说明文。原本脆弱的南极生态环境随着游客的到来正在遭受史无前例的破坏，人类留下的细菌在毁灭着那里的鸟类。我们怎样做才能挽救那里的生态环境呢？
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段该画线词前面的harmful bacteria判断，该词意思是＂破坏＂，故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的This was no easy task. If they missed catching a skua at first go, the bird never came close again可知，采集鸟的粪便很难。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的it’s hard to believe that we will stop tourism and science at these sites判断，Kyle Elliott认为阻止人们到这个地区旅游很难。故选B。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的Hopefully, officials will take steps to protect the easily hurt birds before it’s too late.判断作者建议应尽快的采取措施保护南极鸟类。故选C。

As I played,the woman with the broom swept her way right next to me.She stopped sweeping and leaned on her broom,smiling at me.She appeared to be homeless with dirty mismatched clothes.
"You sure play beautiful music,” she said.“I think my friend would like your music.I want to hire you to play for her.” She pointed to the lone figure staring out at the ocean, then produced a few coins from her pocket.“I don’t have much,and I know you’re worth a lot, but if I give this to you, will you play a song for her She’s going through a lot.I know the music will make her feel better.”
I told her I’d be happy to play for free.
As we walked over to her friend,the Broom Lady told me that her friend had not talked for weeks.We approached,and the Broom Lady introduced me,“Annie,I got you a present to cheer you up.It’s a guitar man who is going to play a song specially for you.”
Annie didn’t move.She was wearing dark sunglasses and had an old coat pulled up to cover most of her face.
I sat next to Annie and played.As I played I put every thought into having good things happen for this woman.I played for quite a while.

If there were a photographer passing by, I am sure he would not miss the opportunity to take a picture.
