Young people in poverty have little or no 41 to high schools and universities. Where I lived, it was challenging 42 someone helped.

When I left primary school, I was in the same situation as many other 43 disadvantaged youth. 44 , during that year, a charitable high school for girls, Starehe Girls Centre, was founded and I received a 45 . Today, I am on record as being the first student to be 46 to this school.

第三部分 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” “And Paul—why didn’t pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.

Why do we go wrong about our friends—or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” That’s being friendly. But “lucky dog” ? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.

“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture ? The look in his eyes ? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

56. According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that .

A. we fail to listen carefully when they talk

B. people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say

C. people usually state one thing but mean another

D. we tend to doubt what our friends say

57. In the sentence “Maybe he doesn’t see it himself.” In the second paragraph, the pronoun “it” refers to _________.

A. being friendly B. a bit of envy C. lucky dog D. your luck

58. When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to do is to _________ .

A. notice the way the person is talking

B. take a good look at the person talking

C. mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes

D. examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and his posture

B

One of the most important skills in reading is the knowledge of words. Since Vocabulary Building and Word Study, another book in this series, is devoted to vocabulary development, we are not going to deal with this skill directly, but you should be aware of some basic facts. The number of words you know determines the difficulty and complexity of the material you can read and understand. If you have an extremely limited reading vocabulary, you will be able to read only very simple material. For example, children just beginning to read in first grade must use books that only have a few dozen words in them. As they progress through school their reading vocabulary keeps increasing until they are adults. Adults typically have reading vocabularies of over 50,000 words.

Failure to develop an extensive reading vocabulary will definitely hold you back in your efforts to improve comprehension. Most people learn new words by encountering them in reading or conversation, where the meaning is usually clear from the context. A few words are learned by looking them up in the dictionary.

A good way to expand your vocabulary is to read a lot, especially in different areas. In that way you will find many new words, which are often explained by the author. One of the main purposes of a beginning textbook is to explain the language of the field about which it is written. Thus you can expect to increase your vocabulary a lot if you read a textbook in a field that is new to you.

If you feel that vocabulary is a problem for you, you may wish to do something systematic about it. There are many good books designed to help develop vocabulary, including the one in this series.

59. This passage mainly discusses __________.

A. the importance of developing vocabulary and how to expand it

B. systematic ways to develop vocabulary

C. the degree of vocabulary difficulty

D. how to read a text in an interesting field

60. The difficulty of a reading material is partly decided by _________ according to the passage.

A. how often you do reading

B. how much vocabulary you have

C. the speed of progress readers make in school

D. whether you look difficult words up in the dictionary

61. This passage is __________.

A. part of a lecture on reading

B. an article about science

C. an introduction to a book on how to develop vocabulary

D. a news report about how much vocabulary should be mastered by readers

62. Which of the statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The passage is taken from a book on how to expand vocabulary in a systematic way.

B. There is no satisfactory way to expand vocabulary.

C. For beginners, it is not proper to read books with too many new words.

D. Vocabulary keeps increasing until learners are adults.

C

In a world with limited land, water and other natural resources, the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing and globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持续的) ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.

Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decades. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to get chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil (棕榈油)， which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years, the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.

Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions (排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.

The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers many new chances for sustainable product industries.

63. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?

A. China lacks wind and solar energy.

B. High-speed trains are a low-carbon development.

C. China is the leader of the low-carbon market.

D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.

64. We can learn from the last paragraph that businesses have many chances to ______.

A. deal with the major challenge B. explore new natural resources

C. make full use of natural resources D. develop sustainable products

65. What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To introduce a new business model.

B. To compare two business models.

C. To advocate sustainable development.

D. To predict a change of the global market

D

There has long been a belief that money buys happiness． However， although“we really， really tried that for a couple of generations， it didn't work.”said Francine Jay， author of The Joy of Less， A Minimalist Living Guide： How to Declutter， Organize， and Simplify Your Life．

Thanks to a travel﹣inspired revelation, Jay has been happily living a simpler life for 12years． "I always packed as lightly as possible， and found it exciting to get by with just a small carry﹣on bag，" she told CNN． "I thought if it feels this great to travel lightly， how amazing would it be to live this way？ I wanted to have that same feeling of freedom in my everyday life．"

Jay decided to get rid of all her extra possessions and live with just the essentials "I wanted to spend my time and energy on experiences， rather than things．"

Jay is a follower of a movement called "minimalism （极简主义）"． Growing numbers of people have been attracted to this lifestyle all over the world． They share the same feeling of disappointment with modem life and a desire to live more simply． Minimalists are typically progressive and concerned about the environment， Leah Watkins， a lead researcher at Otago University in New Zealand， told Stuff magazine in March．

But many simply experienced unhappiness caused by owning too many possessions． Depression with the materialism of our world isn't new． English romantic poet William Wordsworth summed up how dispiriting this was back in 1802， at the beginning of the industrial age， when he wrote： "Getting and spending， we lay waste our powers"． His preference was to go back to nature． Closer to our own times， the hippies （嬉皮士） of the 1960s also sought to ‘‘drop out" of modem life．

And for many minimalists， their key is to unload． Without objects， they "believe people are forced more and more into the present moment and that's where life happens，" wrote Stuff．

But does simplicity ever feel like a sacrifice?

"It's eliminating the excess﹣unused items， unnecessary purchases﹣from your life． Well， I may have fewer possessions， but I have more space …Minimalism is making room for what matters most，" said Jay．

And "the real questions"， according to Duane Elgin， US social scientist， are "what do you care about？" and "What do you value？"

He told CNN： "It's important for people to realize minimalism isn't simply the amount of stuff we consume． It's about our families， our work， our connection with the larger world， our spiritual dimension． It's about how we touch the whole world． It's a way of life．"

66． What was the author's main purpose in writing the text？　 　

A． To explore the trend of minimalism．

B． To give tips on how to lead a happy life．

C． To argue whether money buys happiness．

D． To recommend one of Francine Jay's books．

67． What inspired Francine Jay to live a simple life？　 　

A． A book she came across．

B． Her desire to keep up with modem life．

C． The pleasure she enjoyed from traveling lightly．

D． A follower of minimalism she met on a trip．

68． According to Leah Watkins， a typical minimalist tends to　 　．

a． be fed up with materialism

b． like saving and visiting nature often

c． be angry about his or her current life

d． be environmentally friendly and live with fewer things

A． a， b

B． a， d

C． a， b， c

D． b， c， d

69． The underlined word "eliminating" in Paragraph 8 probably means　 　．

A． removing

B． distinguishing

C． accepting

D． improving

70． Which of the following would Duane Elgin probably agree with？　 　

A． Minimalism is a healthy lifestyle that is in conflict with modem life．

B． Minimalism limits people's freedom to enjoy their lives to the fullest．

C． Minimalism enables people to reflect on what truly counts in their lives．

D． Minimalism means people have to sacrifice some pleasure to live simply．

请认真阅读下列短文：并根据听读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空格1个单词。

Getting married can be one of the happiest moments in a person’s life. Throughout the world, weddings are very important events. Let’s look at some interesting wedding customs from different countries.

For African Americans, it is tradition for the married couple to jump over a broom covered with flowers. This represents the beginning of family life. It is interesting to note that African slaves who were brought to the USA started this tradition. African American couples were not allowed to have a legal marriage, so instead they had a ceremony where the bride and groom jumped over a broom “into marriage”.

Making jokes about the bride and groom is a wedding tradition in both France and Germany. In France, this includes making loud noises with pots; in Germany, wedding guests break dishes. Weddings in Germany often last for three days. On Thursday, there is a simple ceremony at a government office noting the official marriage of the couple. Then the couple will have a dinner with family and close friends. On Friday, there is a party. This is when guests break dishes to represent the start of a new life. Then on Sunday, there is a ceremony in a church.

In Greece and Italy, people eat special kinds of sweets at the wedding. Both Greece and Italy also have their own special wedding dances, which all of the guests enjoy.

In Russia, couples tie a doll to their wedding car if they want to have a daughter, or a toy bear if they want to have a son.

In England, it is tradition for the little girls to throw flowers on the ground on the way to the wedding ceremony. The bride and groom walk on these flowers. This represents the hope that the couples will follow the path that leads to a happy life.

91．请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

According to China Radio International, Chinese people had more than 30 billion goods sent through delivery services per year as online service is developing at a fast rate. Such a big market has led to a large demand for delivery workers, with some companies offering high salaries to attract new workers. It is not uncommon to see delivery workers riding electric bikes, motorcycles and trucks through big cities in China. Most of them seem to be in a hurry, as they run red lights to deliver their goods in time. Such behavior often causes serious problems.

In the first half of this year, food delivery drivers alone had 76 accidents in Shanghai, according to the Shanghai Public Security Bureau. This means that on average, there is a food delivery worker that gets hurt on the road in Shanghai every 2.5 days. On Nov. 2lst, a truck loaded with goods caught fire and was burnt to ashes, destroying over one thousand commodities(货品).

书面表达：

With the rapid development of online services, delivery workers are often seen sending goods in a rush, ignoring the traffic lights, thus leading to the increase of the traffic accidents. (30words)

Various factors give rise to those growing road accidents related to delivery service. Firstly, for fear of receiving complaints and fines for being late, delivery workers run red lights at the expense of their lives. Worse still, with more commission to earn, they check mobile phones for new orders while riding. Consequently, it is high rewards that drive them to ignore traffic rules and cause accidents, posing a threat to the lives of pedestrians as well as themselves.

In conclusion, urgent measures should be taken. Authorities concerned and companies should educated delivery workers on the importance of road safety and strengthen supervision. Besides, delivery workers are supposed to obey traffic rules, or they will be banned from driving delivery vehicles.(120words)
