第一节:(共15小题;每小题2分,满分50分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Some students from WashingtonAdventistUniversity, near Washington, D.C. have been helping poor children with their schoolwork. But the students did not work with the boys and girls at a traditional school. Every Thursday night, they have been meeting at a laundromat , a place where people go to wash their clothes. At the same time, the students are carrying out a marketing plan they designed for the Laundromat.
The program began with just five children, but has grown to about 20. Before the program works, the business was so bad that the owner had even considered closing his business, which is why the group came in. They were writing a marketing plan to give people a reason to keep coming to the laundromat. Then one student said, “There’re a lot of children hanging around. Why don’t we add teaching?”
The project is part of an international program called Enactus. It was started in the United States 40 years ago. The project is now at more than 1,700 colleges in 36 countries. It wants to give students experience before they graduate, so the project works with the community and with businesses.
Ms. Pichot, the head of the university’s business department, says they invite any business to come in. It’s a free workshop. Her students are working with other businesses in addition to the laundromat. She says the students help business owners increase their profits while gaining experience that they cannot get in school. They volunteer long hours.
Christine Sumampouw is completing her studies this year. She has spent about 1,000 hours as a volunteer. That is more than any other student in the group. She says she has learned a lot from volunteering.
21.Why do college students teach poor children at a laundromat?
A. They work part-time there.
B. The poor children can’t afford to go to school.[:.]
C. They want to increase the laundromat’s business.
D. The poor children don’t have other places to study.
22.What do we know about Enactus?
A. It is paid to offer help to businesses in need.
B. It aims to help students start their own business.
C. It is created by WashingtonAdventistUniversity.
D. It is a win-win program both for businesses and students.
23.What does Christine think of the project?
A. It’s of great benefit. B. It’s a waste of time.
C. It takes too much of her time. D. It has a bad effect on her study.
B
A supermarket checkout operator was praised for striking a blow for modern manners and a return to the age of politeness after refusing to serve a shopper who was talking on her mobile phone.
The supermarket manager was forced to apologize to the customer who complained she was told her goods would not be scanned unless she hung up her phone. Jo Clark, 46, said, “I don't know what she was playing at. I couldn’t believe how rude she was. When did she have the right to give me a lecture on checkout manners? I won’t be shopping there again!”
But users of social media sites and Internet forums(论坛) were very angry that store gave in and the public appeared to be supporting the angry checkout worker. “Perhaps this is a turning point for mobile phone users everywhere. When chatting, keep your eyes on people around you. That includes people trying to serve you, other road users and especially people behind you in the stairs,” said a typical post.
“It’s time checkout staff fought back against these people constantly chatting on their phones. They can drive anyone crazy. It’s rude and annoying. I often want to grab someone’s phone and throw it as far as I can, even though I am not a checkout girl, just a passer-by,” said another.
Siobhan Freegard, founder of parenting site www. Netmums.comsaid, “While this checkout operator doesn’t have the authority to order customers to switch off their phones, you can see clearly how frustrated and angry she felt. No matter how busy you are, life is nicer when you and those around you have good manners.”
24. According to Jo Clark, the checkout operator_____________.
A. lacked the knowledge of checkout manners
B. played with a mobile phone while at work
C. deserved praise for her modern manners
D. had no right to forbid her from using her mobile phone
25. The third and fourth paragraphs imply that the public_________.
A. are used to chatting on their mobile phones
B. are driven crazy by constant mobile calls
C. seem to support the checkout operator
D. ignore the existence of mobile phone users
26. The attitude of Siobhan Freegard towards the checkout operator was________.
A. disapproving B. supportive C. neutral D. indifferent
27. The passage is mainly about _________.
A. whether we should talk on our phones while being served
B. why we can talk on mobile phones while shopping
C. what good manners checkout operators should have
D. how we can develop good manners for mobile phone users
C
Have you ever done something that was really dangerous just because you thought it was safe? Maybe you did a dangerous trick on your bicycle or skateboard because you were wearing a helmet(头盔) and thought you couldn’t get hurt. The psychology(心理)of this sort of behavior is called the Peltzman Effect(佩尔兹曼效应),named after Sam Peltzman, professor of economics at the University of Chicago. Peltzman believes that those moments when people think they are the safest are the times when they act most dangerously.
Peltzman said that people drove more dangerously when they wore seal belts(安全带).Driving a large four-wheel drive vehicle has a similar effect on drivers' behavior. Because drivers of large vehicles sit up higher and can see better, they feel they can make better judgments when they drive. They are better protected in accidents, so they act more dangerously. This makes driving more hazardousto other drivers.
The Peltzman Effect isn’t just limited to driving. In l972,the American Food and Drug Administration(FDA)passed a law requiring child safety caps on most medicine bottles. The safety caps were designed to prevent children from accidentally taking the medicine,especially painkillers such as aspirin. Requiring safety caps sounded like a great idea, but there was an unexpected side effect. Because the safety caps are so hard to take off, some people leave them off altogether. Worse, some parents leave the bottles where kids can reach them because they feel that it is safe because of the cap. A study on the Peltzman Effect showed that more than 3,500 children have been harmed by aspirin because of the safety caps.
The Peltzman Effect describes how we’re likely to take more risks and act more dangerously when we feel safest. What’s more, the effects of these behaviors can be quite different from what we expect.
28. What is the Peltzman Effect?
A. People behave less safely when they feel safe.
B. People feel safest when they are under protection.
C. Something that seems dangerous turns out to be safe.
D. People who act dangerously are likely to be together.
29. What does the underlined word “hazardous”in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Interesting. B. Expensive. C. Dangerous. D. Important.
30. Why do some people leave the safety caps of medicine bottles open?
A. The caps don’t work at all.
B. The caps can’t be opened easily.
C. The bottles are out of the reach of children.
D. The bottles without caps are less attractive to kids.
31. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Unsafe Safety Measures B. Types of Decision Making
C. People’s Fear of Taking Risks D. Different Behaviors of People in Danger
D
About this time every year, I get very nostalgic(怀旧的). Walking through my neighborhood on a fall afternoon reminds me of a time not too long ago when sounds of children filled the air, children playing games on a hill, and throwing leaves around in the street below. I was one of those children, carefree and happy. I live on a street that is only one block long. I have lived on the same street for sixteen years. I love my street. One side has six houses on it, and the other has only two houses, with a small hill in the middle and a huge cottonwood tree on one end. When I think of home, I think of my street. Only I see it as it was before. Unfortunately things change. One day, not long ago, I looked around and saw how different everything has become. Life on my street will never be the same because neighbors are quickly grown old, friends are growing up and leaving, and the city is planning to destroy my precious hill and sell the property to contractors.
It is hard for me to accept that many of my wonderful neighbors are growing old and won’t be around much longer. I have fond memories of the couple across the street, who sat together on their porch swing almost every evening, the widow next door who yelled at my brother and me for being too loud, and the crazy old man in a black suit who drove an old car. In contrast to those people, the people I see today are very old neighbors who have seen better days. The man in the black suit says he wants to die, and another neighbor just sold his house and moved into a nursing home. The lady who used to yell at us is too tired to bother any more, and the couple across the street rarely go out to their front porch these days. It is difficult to watch these precious people as they near the end of their lives because at once I thought they would live forever.
The “comings and goings” of the younger generation of my street are now mostly “goings” as friends and peers move on. Once upon a time, my life and the lives of my peers revolved around home. The boundary of our world was the gutter at the end of the street. We got pleasure from playing night games or from a breathtaking ride on a tricycle. Things are different now, as my friends become adults and move on. Children who rode tricycles now drive cars. The kids who once played with me now have new interests and values as they go their separate ways. Some have gone away to college like me, a few got married, two went into the army, and one went to prison. Watching all these people grow up and go away makes me long for the good old days.
Perhaps the biggest change on my street is the fact that the city is going to turn my precious hill into several lots for now homes. For sixteen years, the view out of my kitchen window has been a view of that hill. The hill was a fundamental part of my childhood life; it was the hub of social activity for the children of my street. We spent hours there building forts, sledding, and playing tag. The view out of my kitchen window now is very different; it is one of tractors and dump trucks tearing up the hill. When the hill goes, the neighborhood will not be the same. It is a piece of my childhood. It is a visual reminder of being a kid. Without the hill, my street will be just another pea in the pod.
There was a time when my street was my world, and I thought my world would never change. But something happened. People grow up, and people grow old. Places changes, and with the change comes the heartache of knowing I can never go back to the times I loved. In a year or so, I will be gone just like many of my neighbors. I will always look back to my years as a child, but the place I remember will not be the silent street whose peace is interrupted by the sounds of construction. It will be the happy, noisy, somewhat strange, but wonderful street I knew as a child.
32. The writer finds it hard to accept the fact that _____________.
A. many of his good neighbors are growing old
B. the lady next door who used to yell at him and his brother is now a widow
C. the life of his neighbors has become very boring
D. the man in his black suit even wanted to end his own life
33. The biggest change on the writer's street is _____________.
A. removing the hill to make way for residential development
B. the building of new homes behind his kitchen window
C. the fact that there are much fewer people around than in the past
D. the change in his childhood friends' attitude towards their neighborhood
34. What does the writer mean by saying “my street will be another pea in the pod”?
A. his street will be very noisy and dirty
B. his street will soon be crowded with people
C. his street will have some new attractions
D. his street will be no different from any other street
35. Which could be a good title for the passage?
A. The Past of My Street will Live Forever
B. Unforgettable People and Things of My Street
C. Memory Street Isn’t What It Used to Be
D. The Big Changes of My Street

Annoying Mobile Phone Users
What really annoys(使……不悦) me most about modern life is the way some people use their mobile phones. 36However, there are some people out there who just don’t care about other people’s feeling when they use a phone. These mobile phone users make life painful for the rest of us. Let’s divide these users into groups.
The first group are those people who shout on the phone, especially in enclosed places like trains or lifts. 37 It isn’t necessary.
38Some ringtones are truly unpleasant—a 1oud, electronic version(版本) of Beethoven with a hip hop(嘻哈乐)beat, for example. This is especially annoying in the cinema.
The third group of people who annoy me are those who have to walk around while they speak.39
Finally, the worst group are people who take a phone call while you are in a conversation with them. This is extremely rude in my opinion.
I would like to end with a message to all the above mobile phone users:You think you look cool and important talking on your mobile all the time. 40
A. But believe me—you don’t!
B. Next are those with annoying ringtones.
C. I don’t know why they have to talk so loudly.
D. This group of people keep talking on the phone.
E. I have no idea where they get, the noisy ringtones.
F. They stand in the way just when you want to get past.
G. The mobile phone is an important part of life for most of us.

Dear Editor,
I’m now studying in a very good school in a city. When I left my old school in the country, I was very happy to come here, but now I don’t think my choice was right.
I do my best to study hard. I listen attentively in class, speak out my opinions and ask my teachers whenever I have questions. I don’t care about food and clothes. I try to be friendly to my fellow students and I don’t believe I’ve done anything to hurt them. But one of my friends has told me that some of my classmates hate me and others don’t like me. Hearing that, I was sad and couldn’t concentrate on my studies any more.
What should I do? I’m looking forward to your advice.
Yours,
Li Hua
