BWhen Veronika Scott was a student at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan, she received a task to “design to fill a need.” She dreamed up an idea for overcoats that would double as sleeping bags, made 25 of them, and handed them out to people living in shelters on an abandoned city playground. While her efforts were greeted mostly with enthusiasm from those braving Detroits cold winters, one woman voiced dissatisfaction. “We dont need coats; we need jobs,” she told Veronika. Then she had her second inspiration.After graduating from college in xx, Veronika founded the Empowerment Plan, a nonprofit organization. She hired two homeless women to sew the coats and paid them with donations she received through her blog. Now, the Empowerment Plan employs about 20 people and has produced more than 10,000 coats and distributed them in 30 states, Canada, and elsewhere abroad.“We dont require previous employment,” Veronika says. “Were looking for people who are motivated.” The Empowerment Plan provides free classes and lends money to those who qualify. Nearly all the employees eventually move into permanent housing, and some go on to jobs in the auto industry and construction.Veronika has bettered the coats design by making its outer layer of a lightweight material that resists air, wind, and water and its inner layer of a material that stores body heat. Still, Veronika is less focused on the coats than on the workers who make them. “At the end of the day,” she says, “the coat is a vehicle for us to employ people.”24. What was Veronikas second inspiration? A. Improving her coats design.B. Founding a nonprofit organization. C. Profiting from the work of those low-paid people. D. Producing more coats and distributing them abroad. 25. What is the purpose of the Empowerment Plan? A. To raise more donations.B. To design better clothes.C. To provide help for the homeless. D. To offer free classes to the motivated.26. Which of the following best describes Veronika? A. Traditional but helpfulB. Greedy and unsatisfied. C. Generous but childish. D. Creative and caring.27. Which is the best title of the passage? A. Design to Fill a Need.B. The Empowerment Plan.C. Look for Motivated People.D. How to design a coat.CFeeling blue about the world? “Cheer up.” says science writer Matt Ridley. “The world has never been a better place to live in, and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for nature.”Ridley calls himself a rational optimistrational, because hes carefully weighed the evidence; optimistic, because that evidence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and good. And this is what hes set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent book, The Rational Optimist. He views mankind as a grand enterprise that, on the whole, has done little but progress for 100,000 years. He backs his findings with hard facts gathered through years of research.Heres how he explains his views.1 ) Shopping fuels inventionIt is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London alone. Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty, our own generation has access to more nutritious food, more convenient transport, bigger houses, better cars, and, of course, more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us. This will continue as long as we use these things to make other things. The more we specialize and exchange, the better off well be.2) Brilliant advancesOne reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longerlived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needsfood, clothing, fuel and shelterhave grown a lot cheaper. Take one example. In 1800 a candle providing one hours light cost six hours work. In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes work to pay for. In 1950 it was eight seconds. Today its half second.3 ) Lets not kill ourselves for climate changeMitigating (减轻) climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare as climate change itself. A child that dies from indoor smoke in a village, where the use of fossilfuel (化石燃料) electricity is forbidden by wellmeaning members of green political movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate change. If climate change proves to be mild, but cutting carbon causes real pain, we may well find that we have stopped a nosebleed by putting a tourniquet (止血带) around our necks.28. What is the theme of Ridleys most recent book?A. Optimism about human progress.B. Concern about climate change.C. Importance of practical thinking.D. Weakness of human nature.29. How does Ridley look at shopping?A. It demands more fossil fuels.B. It results in shortage of goods.C. It encourages the creation of things.D. It causes a poverty problem.30. The candle and lamp example is used to show that _.A. oil lamps give off more light than candlesB. increased production rate leads to lower cost of goodsC. advanced technology helps to produce better candlesD. shortening working time brings about a happier life31. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?A. Cutting carbon is necessary in spite of the huge cost.B. Peoples health is closely related to climate change.C. Overreaction to climate change may be dangerous.D. Careless medical treatment may cause great pain.DWhen emergency workers arrive at an old firehouse in New York City, the way they greet each other is not what you might expect. These first responders say, Ni Hao ! Ni Hao means hello in Mandarin Chinese.First responders are the first emergency workers to arrive at a fire, traffic accident or other emergency. Some first responders are fire fighters, while others can be Emergency Medical Technicians.In Brooklyn, New York, over 20 first responders are studying Mandarin Chinese for about two hours a week. The class is the first of its kind. It is offered by the New York City Fire Department Foundation.The U. S. Census Bureau recently reported that some New York neighborhoods are made up mostly of immigrants. Some people have predicted that the Chinese munity is likely to bee New Yorks largest immigrant group. They think the city will have the largest Chinese munity outside of Asia.The Census Bureau also found that almost 200 languages are spoken in the city. So, knowing different languages is important, especially if you are a first responder.Lieutenant(中尉,少尉) Steve Lee is president of the Fire Departments Phoenix Society. He says that first responders must be able to municate quickly and effectively when an emergency happens. He explains that first responders enter neighborhoods and munities to assist regardless of where they are from. Many times first responders do not speak the same language as the people they are called to help. He adds that it is vital, or very important, that first responders are able to municate with the people calling for help.Without help from homeowners and others, Lee adds, discovering exactly where a fire is burning can be a real problem. First responders need to ask questions such as What building? What address? What apartment? And the most important question, Is there anybody left in the building and where?32.Who are first responders according to Paragraph 2?A. People first learning the disaster.B. Persons leading the emergency rescue.C. Rescuers first reaching the disasterD. People first find the disaster.33.Why are the first responders in New York studying the Chinese language?A. To show respect to the Chinese immigrants.B. To learn about Chinese cultures much better.C. To meet the rapid growth of Chinese population.D. To find a better job in Chinese munity.34.What do first responders concern most?A. The place where the fire occurs.B. The people trapped in the fire.C. The language to municate.D. The distance covered to the fire.35.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Mandarin Being a Must for Emergency Workers.B. New Yorks Emergency Crews Learning Mandarin.C. Language Problem Disturbing First Responders Work.D. Importance of Languages Used in Emergency Rescue第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Parents Model Healthy EatingIt should e as no surprise that the more stressed parents are at work, the greater the burden on their family is. 36 After all, the more time parents spend working, the less time and energy they have to plan and prepare healthful meals.For years, most studies have focused on the role of working mothers while fathers were ignored. They didnt look at the family as a whole. 37 , adds a new wrinkle（褶皱）to the relationship between work stress and family nutrition.Moms work related stress is still a central factor in low well families eat because they typically do most of the food shopping and cooking. 38 The study found that when mom or dad experience high levels of work related stress, their families are eating one-and-a-half fewer family meals per week, and the parents themselves report eating fewer fruits and vegetables, more fast food, and are less likely to eat breakfast regularly.Its worth nothing that the study looked mainly at low ine families who belonged to ethnic（民族的）or minority groups. 39 But the implications are wide ranging. 40 Teaching kids, especially teenagers, to help with grocery shopping and to cook actual meals, instead of just putting a frozen pizza in the microwave, could be an important piece of the puzzle in helping families improves their eating habits.A. And the role of fathers in particularB. But dads work related stress has a large impact, too.C. Yet, the kids stress may influence the families nutrition, too.D. So the findings dont necessarily apply directly to other types of families.E. When it es to family nutrition, the entire family plays a role even kids.F. Its also probably not a surprise that this can negatively affect a familys nutrition.G. It is parents who give their kids a good model to develop a good eating habit.第三部分 英语知识运用（共三节, 满分45分）第一节 完形填空 （共20小题；每小题1.5分, 满分30分）阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I think I will never forget the special day in November.
