On a recent trip to the island of Newfoundland, Canada, my husband asked our talkative cab driver what made him most proud to be from there.
"Our generosity and hospitality (好客)," he replied in a strong local accent. "Your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, someone will stop to help. People here are kind like that."
His answer lingered in my mind during that ride with my husband and teenage kids, as we headed out to explore on the first day of our vacation.
Little did I know we were about to experience some of that remarkable Newfoundland kindness for ourselves.
We met Alma that same morning at the start of a long hike.
Our teenagers hurried ahead, and as we walked behind, admiring the scenery, two women in sunglasses and summer hiking gear stopped.
They'd heard us discussing different routes, then asked if we'd like suggestions.
They looked to be in their 40s, and were both enthusiastic to share their local expertise.
We listened eagerly, taking mental notes, until one of the women asked, "You have a car, right "
I explained that there were no cars available during our week on the island, so we had to rely on cabs instead.
"Oh no," she said, "you need a car." And then, as casually as if offering a piece of chewing gum (口香糖), she said: "Take mine!"
Dumbfounded, my husband and I just smiled in disbelief.
"Why not " She insisted. "You need a car to get to know all these places."
"But you don't even know us," I said.
"That doesn't matter," she continued with absolute determination.
Stunned, I looked over at her friend, who shrugged and said, "That's Alma."
Forty minutes of talking later, my family climbed into Alma's car.
We spent the rest of our vacation discovering different areas of this beautiful island.
But it wasn't the groups of whales we saw, or the vast areas of woodland, that made this place so memorable.
Instead, it was the act of kindness from a complete stranger that made us realize how special Newfoundland really was.
Next year, there's no doubt where we'll be taking our summer vacation. Who knows what act of kindness we'll meet then
24.What problem did the author's family have in Newfoundland

B.Their car broke down on the first day.

26.What impressed the author most during her stay in Newfoundland
A.The talkative cab driver. B.The whales swimming.
C.The beautiful scenery of the island. D.The help from an enthusiastic stranger.
27.What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph
A.She is looking forward to meeting Alma once more.
B.She expects to visit Newfoundland again.
C.She hasn't decided where to go next year.
D.She also wants to be kind to others during vacation.

You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.
The designer says he come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy (伞蓬) built into a street lamp.” he said.
The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors (传感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.
In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone’s using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.
According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.
While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.
28．Belyaev created the lampbrella aiming to _______.
A．predict a heavy rain B．help people avoid getting wet in the rain
C．check the weather forecast D．remind people to take an umbrella
29．How does the lampbrella work
A．Electric motor can open or close the sensors on demand.
B．Electric motor is controlled by the rain sensor to open the canopy.
C．Sensors offer pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.
D．Sensors can work only three minutes.
30．What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella
A．Its moving speed. B．Its appearance.
C．Its installation. D．Its safey.
31．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．The designer is confident that his creation is practical.
B．The designer will open a company in Moscow.
C．The lampbrella could be put into immediate production.
D．The lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.
D
Engineers from the University at Buffalo, Fudan University in China, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison have come together with funding from the National Science Foundation to produce an efficient and cost-effective device that purifies drinking water using the world’s most abundant power source-the sun.
More than 2, 300 years ago, the philosopher Aristotle described the water cycle. He has explained that water is heated by the sun, evaporates (蒸发) up into the air, condenses (凝结) into drops, and then falls back to the ground, pure and free of pollutants.
Professor Qiaoqiang Gan and the other engineers created a method of purifying water that builds upon Aristotle’s ancient observations. Gan’s team invented a solar water purifier that is a modern version of an evaporative solar still. This device looks like the roof of a tent, with strips of carbon-coated paper covering the top so that the paper strip hangs down on the sides. The ends of the paper strip dip into a water container at the bottom. Gradually, the water in the container is absorbed by the paper. When the black carbon coating on the paper is heated by the sun, the wet paper begins to dry. During evaporation, salt, dirt, bacteria, and other pollutants are trapped in the paper. As the temperature cools, water droplets begin to condense on the surface of the paper. The purified water is collected in a clean container and is ready to drink.
There are a few key advantages of the solar water purifier. First, the device is quick and efficient. The solar still can generate up to 5 gallons of clean water daily, which is enough to provide sufficient drinking water for a family. Furthermore, this solar water purifier is cheaper than other water-purification devices because it is made with inexpensive and widely available materials.
There are also disadvantages in terms of the adaptation to diverse environments on Earth and the building up of salt in the process. Currently, the engineers are working to make their purifier available worldwide. Soon, drinkable water will be purified and accessible where it is needed.
32．Why does the author mention Aristotle and the water cycle in the text
A．To catch readers’ attention and interest.
B．To add more authority to the new invention.
C．To show the history of the solar water purifier.
D．To help illustrate the basic working principles of the invention
33．What is the main function of the carbon-coated paper
A．To cover the top. B．To collect clean water.
C．To hang down on the sides. D．To absorb water and heat from the sun.
34．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．What the researchers have done.
B．How the solar water purifier works.
C．What the solar water purifier can do.
D．How similar Aristotle’s observation is to the purifier.
35．What might the author think of the future of the solar water purifier
A．Dark. B．Uncertain. C．Promising. D．Unpredictable.

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Efficient ways to improve your speech
Find it difficult to make a wonderful speech in public 36
Use more facial expressions
One psychologist feels that our facial expression is responsible more than anything else for the impression others have of us. A smile in which the eyes participate is extremely communicative. 37 People tend to mirror your expression, so try to show how you feel about a topic or an idea through your facial expression.
Get rid of your inner fear
38 The way to handle it is to put it to work for you, get into action, as Shakespeare observed, action cures fear. The first is to admit it. Do the thing you fear and it will be the death of fear itself. Another simple aid at the last minute before you begin, is to take a few deep breaths. This will help get the butterflies in formation and also keep your voice under control.
Polish your voice
Our voice is the main instrument we possess for communicating with people. So invest in a tape recorder, practice your speech by speaking it into the microphone and then listen to it. You can even have others join in the evaluation of your strong points and your weaknesses or faults as well. Simply reading a newspaper, a magazine or stories to your children out loud can help. 39
Strengthen your memory
Psychologists tell us that most individuals don’t use above ten percent of their inherent capacity for memory. How to enhance the power of memory First, have a burning desire to remember. It’s difficult to recall anything without wanting to do so. 40 Our success depends greatly on our ability to concentrate. The next principle is repetition, we learned many things in school by repetition.
A．Step number two is concentration.
B．A frown often brings the same thing in return.
C．Here are some efficient ways to improve your speech.
D．Your emphasis, pausing, pace and even pitch can improve.
E．Reading aloud cannot necessarily help you develop a personal style.

This is the world’s longest cross-sea bridge, connecting the east and west side of the Pearl River Delta in South China. This bridge is 55 kilometers long and took nine years in total to complete. Construction on the bridge cost about 120 billion yuan. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is unique in many ways. It has a service life of 120 years, 20 years longer than most bridges. And it’s not just a bridge but also part tunnel and part island. In one part, the bridge turns into a 6.7 km undersea tunnel that passes through two man-made islands. It used to take three hours to travel between Hong Kong and Zhuhai, but now with this new bridge, the travel time has been cut down to 30 minutes. According to China Daily, you’ll need a special permit to drive across the bridge and pay between 60 yuan to 300 yuan.

On a recent trip to the island of Newfoundland, Canada, my husband asked our talkative cab driver what made him most proud to be from there.
"Our generosity and hospitality (好客)," he replied in a strong local accent. "Your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, someone will stop to help. People here are kind like that."
His answer lingered in my mind during that ride with my husband and teenage kids, as we headed out to explore on the first day of our vacation.
Little did I know we were about to experience some of that remarkable Newfoundland kindness for ourselves.
We met Alma that same morning at the start of a long hike.
Our teenagers hurried ahead, and as we walked behind, admiring the scenery, two women in sunglasses and summer hiking gear stopped.
They'd heard us discussing different routes, then asked if we'd like suggestions.
They looked to be in their 40s, and were both enthusiastic to share their local expertise.
We listened eagerly, taking mental notes, until one of the women asked, "You have a car, right "
I explained that there were no cars available during our week on the island, so we had to rely on cabs instead.
"Oh no," she said, "you need a car." And then, as casually as if offering a piece of chewing gum (口香糖), she said: "Take mine!"
Dumbfounded, my husband and I just smiled in disbelief.
"Why not " She insisted. "You need a car to get to know all these places."
"But you don't even know us," I said.
"That doesn't matter," she continued with absolute determination.
Stunned, I looked over at her friend, who shrugged and said, "That's Alma."
Forty minutes of talking later, my family climbed into Alma's car.
We spent the rest of our vacation discovering different areas of this beautiful island.
But it wasn't the groups of whales we saw, or the vast areas of woodland, that made this place so memorable.
Instead, it was the act of kindness from a complete stranger that made us realize how special Newfoundland really was.
Next year, there's no doubt where we'll be taking our summer vacation. Who knows what act of kindness we'll meet then
24.What problem did the author's family have in Newfoundland
A.They couldn't understand the local accent.
B.Their car broke down on the first day.
C.They got lost during a hike.
D.They didn't have a car.

C.She hasn't decided where to go next year.
D.She also wants to be kind to others during vacation.

You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.
The designer says he come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy (伞蓬) built into a street lamp.” he said.
The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors (传感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.
In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone’s using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.
According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.
While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.
28．Belyaev created the lampbrella aiming to _______.
A．predict a heavy rain B．help people avoid getting wet in the rain
C．check the weather forecast D．remind people to take an umbrella
29．How does the lampbrella work
A．Electric motor can open or close the sensors on demand.
B．Electric motor is controlled by the rain sensor to open the canopy.
C．Sensors offer pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.
D．Sensors can work only three minutes.
30．What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella
A．Its moving speed. B．Its appearance.
C．Its installation. D．Its safey.
31．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．The designer is confident that his creation is practical.
B．The designer will open a company in Moscow.
C．The lampbrella could be put into immediate production.
D．The lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.

【语篇解读】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款革新式的贴心路灯伞棚的发明，这款路灯既能照明，又能挡雨，让人们在下雨天没带雨衣或雨伞的时候也不必害怕被淋湿。
【详情解析】
28.细节理解题。由第一段中“But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. (但设计师米哈伊尔·贝利亚耶夫并不认为出门前忘记查看天气预报会导致你淋湿)”，第二段中“Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy (伞蓬) built into a street lamp. (有一次，我在圣彼得堡市中心的一条街道上开车，看到路灯照亮了试图躲避雨水的人们。我觉得在路灯上加一个雨棚是合适的)”和第三段中“Sensors (传感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining. (然后，传感器确保雨伞在下雨时为行人提供庇护)”可知，路灯雨伞的发明是为了保护人们不受雨水淋湿。故选B项。
29.细节理解题。由第三段中“It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors (传感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining. (它有一个内置的电动机，可以根据需要打开或关闭伞蓬。然后，传感器确保伞蓬在下雨时为行人提供庇护)”可知，传感器首先确保天气下雨时传递信号给电动机，电动机可按需打开或关闭伞蓬，其工作顺序应该是：传感器→电动机→伞蓬，路灯伞棚的工作原理是：电动机由雨水传感器控制，打开伞棚。故选B项。
30.主旨大意题。由第五段“According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians. (根据设计师的说法，路灯伞棚会以相对较低的速度移动，以免对行人造成伤害。此外，它将接地，以防止可能的雷击。每一个路灯伞棚都能为几个人提供足够的庇护所。安装在离地2米的地方，只会对最高的行人构成危险)”可知，本段主要讲述的是路灯伞棚的安全性。故选D项。
31.推理判断题。由最后一段“While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter. (Belyaev说，虽然没有计划将路灯伞棚投入生产，但他最近向莫斯科的一个部门介绍了自己的作品，并坚称这种作品可以安装在任何有很多人走但没有雨棚的街道上)”可知，设计者Belyaev还没有计划要把路灯伞棚投入生产，C项错误，BD项未提及，但可推测出Belyaev确信路灯伞棚是实用的。故选A项。

Engineers from the University at Buffalo, Fudan University in China, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison have come together with funding from the National Science Foundation to produce an efficient and cost-effective device that purifies drinking water using the world’s most abundant power source-the sun.
More than 2, 300 years ago, the philosopher Aristotle described the water cycle. He has explained that water is heated by the sun, evaporates (蒸发) up into the air, condenses (凝结) into drops, and then falls back to the ground, pure and free of pollutants.
Professor Qiaoqiang Gan and the other engineers created a method of purifying water that builds upon Aristotle’s ancient observations. Gan’s team invented a solar water purifier that is a modern version of an evaporative solar still. This device looks like the roof of a tent, with strips of carbon-coated paper covering the top so that the paper strip hangs down on the sides. The ends of the paper strip dip into a water container at the bottom. Gradually, the water in the container is absorbed by the paper. When the black carbon coating on the paper is heated by the sun, the wet paper begins to dry. During evaporation, salt, dirt, bacteria, and other pollutants are trapped in the paper. As the temperature cools, water droplets begin to condense on the surface of the paper. The purified water is collected in a clean container and is ready to drink.
There are a few key advantages of the solar water purifier. First, the device is quick and efficient. The solar still can generate up to 5 gallons of clean water daily, which is enough to provide sufficient drinking water for a family. Furthermore, this solar water purifier is cheaper than other water-purification devices because it is made with inexpensive and widely available materials.
There are also disadvantages in terms of the adaptation to diverse environments on Earth and the building up of salt in the process. Currently, the engineers are working to make their purifier available worldwide. Soon, drinkable water will be purified and accessible where it is needed.
32．Why does the author mention Aristotle and the water cycle in the text
A．To catch readers’ attention and interest.
B．To add more authority to the new invention.
C．To show the history of the solar water purifier.
D．To help illustrate the basic working principles of the invention
33．What is the main function of the carbon-coated paper
A．To cover the top. B．To collect clean water.
C．To hang down on the sides. D．To absorb water and heat from the sun.
34．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．What the researchers have done.
B．How the solar water purifier works.
C．What the solar water purifier can do.
D．How similar Aristotle’s observation is to the purifier.
35．What might the author think of the future of the solar water purifier
A．Dark. B．Uncertain. C．Promising. D．Unpredictable.
【答案】32．D 33．D 34．B 35．C
【导语】本文是一篇科技说明文。介绍了来自布法罗大学、中国复旦大学和威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的工程师们，在国家科学基金会的资助下，共同研发出一种经济高效的太阳净化饮用水设备及设备的工作原理和优缺点。
32．推理判断题。根据第二段“More than 2, 300 years ago, the philosopher Aristotle described the water cycle. He has explained that water is heated by the sun, evaporates (蒸发) up into the air, condenses (凝结) into drops, and then falls back to the ground, pure and free of pollutants. (2,300多年前，哲学家亚里士多德描述了水循环。他解释说，水被太阳加热，蒸发到空气中，凝结成水滴，然后落回地面，纯净无污染物。)”可知，提到亚里士多德是为介绍太阳能净水设备的基本工作原理。故选D项。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段“Gradually, the water in the container is absorbed by the paper. When the black carbon coating on the paper is heated by the sun, the wet paper begins to dry. (逐渐地，容器中的水被纸张吸收。当纸张上的黑碳涂层被太阳加热时，湿纸开始干燥。)”可知碳涂层纸的主要功能是吸水和吸收太阳的热量。故选D项。
34．主旨大意题。根据第三段中“The ends of the paper strip dip into a water container at the bottom. Gradually, the water in the container is absorbed by the paper. When the black carbon coating on the paper is heated by the sun, the wet paper begins to dry. During evaporation, salt, dirt, bacteria, and other pollutants are trapped in the paper. As the temperature cools, water droplets begin to condense on the surface of the paper. (纸条的末端浸入底部的水容器中。逐渐地，容器中的水被纸张吸收。当纸张上的黑碳涂层被太阳加热时，湿纸开始干燥。在蒸发过程中，盐、污垢、细菌和其他污染物被困在纸张中。随着温度的降低，水滴开始凝结在纸张表面。)”可知，本段重要讲述了新发明的净水器是怎么工作的，故选B项。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“Currently, the engineers are working to make their purifier available worldwide. Soon, drinkable water will be purified and accessible where it is needed.”可知，作者对净水器即将全世界推广充满希望和信心。故选C项。

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Efficient ways to improve your speech
Find it difficult to make a wonderful speech in public 36
Use more facial expressions
One psychologist feels that our facial expression is responsible more than anything else for the impression others have of us. A smile in which the eyes participate is extremely communicative. 37 People tend to mirror your expression, so try to show how you feel about a topic or an idea through your facial expression.
Get rid of your inner fear
38 The way to handle it is to put it to work for you, get into action, as Shakespeare observed, action cures fear. The first is to admit it. Do the thing you fear and it will be the death of fear itself. Another simple aid at the last minute before you begin, is to take a few deep breaths. This will help get the butterflies in formation and also keep your voice under control.
Polish your voice
Our voice is the main instrument we possess for communicating with people. So invest in a tape recorder, practice your speech by speaking it into the microphone and then listen to it. You can even have others join in the evaluation of your strong points and your weaknesses or faults as well. Simply reading a newspaper, a magazine or stories to your children out loud can help. 39
Strengthen your memory
Psychologists tell us that most individuals don’t use above ten percent of their inherent capacity for memory. How to enhance the power of memory First, have a burning desire to remember. It’s difficult to recall anything without wanting to do so. 40 Our success depends greatly on our ability to concentrate. The next principle is repetition, we learned many things in school by repetition.
A．Step number two is concentration.
B．A frown often brings the same thing in return.
C．Here are some efficient ways to improve your speech.
D．Your emphasis, pausing, pace and even pitch can improve.
E．Reading aloud cannot necessarily help you develop a personal style.
F．The more associations you make with the brain, the easier it becomes.
G．It’s natural to have some tension when you appear before an audience.

【详情解析】
36.上文“Find it difficult to make a wonderful speech in public (觉得在公共场合发表精彩演讲很难吗？)”引出话题“演讲很难”；同时结合后文的四个小标题“Use more facial expressions(使用更多的面部表情)”、“Get rid of your inner fear(摆脱内心的恐惧)”、“Polish your voice(改善说话的声音)”和“Strengthen your memory(加强记忆)”可知，后文在讲述提高演讲的几种具体方法，故此处空格的内容应起到承上启下的作用，C选项“Here are some efficient ways to improve your speech.(以下是一些提高演讲水平的有效方法。)”符合语境。故选C。
37.由第二段的小标题“Use more facial expressions(使用更多的面部表情)”、上文“A smile in which the eyes participate is extremely communicative.(蕴含眼神的微笑非常具有交流性。)”和后文“People tend to mirror your expression, so try to show how you feel about a topic or an idea through your facial expression.(人们倾向于表达和你一样的表情，所以试着通过你的面部表情来表达你对某个话题或想法的感觉。)”可知，本段主要讲述面部表情在演讲中的重要性。B选项“A frown often brings the same thing in return.(皱眉往往也会带来同样的回报。)”中的“A frown”也是面部表情，并与上文的“A smile”相对应，符合语境。故选B。
38.由第三段的小标题“Get rid of your inner fear(摆脱内心的恐惧)”和后文“The way to handle it is to put it to work for you, get into action, as Shakespeare observed, action cures fear.(处理它的方法是让它为你工作，付诸行动，正如莎士比亚所说，行动可以治愈恐惧。)”可知，此段主要讲述如何摆脱内心的恐惧。G选项“It’s natural to have some tension when you appear before an audience.(当你出现在观众面前时，有一些紧张是很自然的。)”中的tension就是后文中it所指代的内容，与fear表达的意思一致，放在句首用于引出后文，符合语境。故选G。
39.由第四段小标题“Polish your voice(改善说话的声音)”和上文“Our voice is the main instrument we possess for communicating with people.(我们的声音是我们与人交流的主要工具。)”与“Simply reading a newspaper, a magazine or stories to your children out loud can help.(只需大声给孩子读报纸、杂志或故事就可以了。)”可知，本段主要讲的是如何改善说话的声音，D选项“Your emphasis, pausing, pace and even pitch can improve.(你的重音、停顿、语速甚至音高都可以提高。)”承接上文，表示通过前文的给孩子大声读报纸、讲故事等方式可以提高说话的重音、停顿等，符合语境。故选D。
40.由第五段小标题“Strengthen your memory(加强记忆)”和上文“First, have a burning desire to remember. It’s difficult to recall anything without wanting to do so.(首先，有一种强烈的记忆欲望。如果没有记忆的欲望那回忆东西是很难的。)”可知，本段主要讲述如何加强记忆，上文中的First表示第一点，又因后文“Our success depends greatly on our ability to concentrate.(我们的成功很大程度上取决于我们的专注能力。)”与上文表述内容不一致，说明此处讲的是另外一点，A选项“Step number two is concentration.(第二步就是专心致志。)”承接上文，Step number two是First的顺延，同时concentration又与后文中的concentrate相对应，符合语境。故选A。

We decided to make a large pot of hot 50 . We hired a car and asked the driver to take us around the campus where we knew the 51 would be and we poured them each a cup of hot chocolate. The driver was 52 a bit doubtful about the entire plan but after a while he was helping us spot the guards and our lively spirit had 53 to him as well. We met with many 54 and appreciative words.
