For 29-year-old Lauren Puryear, she realized that couponing was the tool she’d been looking for to bring thousands of meals to people in need. She has set a goal of delivering 30,000 meals to people who are food insecure by her 30th birthday.‎ ‎ Puryear, a Woodridge resident who is a mental health clinician, has been spending years of her time helping to feed the hungry. It all began four years ago after the death of her grandmother, who had strongly instilled(灌输)the importance of helping others. Though she had been buying food in bulk from stores lie Cosco and BJ’s, or from online stores like eBay and Amazon, it wasn’t enough. She wanted to reach more people.‎ So, when someone told her about couponing, she quickly realized she could use this old pastime to reach not hundreds, but tens of thousands of hungry people. “I started couponing for food items like spaghetti, meatballs, and I was able to get the items for free or for little to no money. There are coupons in the Sunday paper, or online that you can print so I collect as many as I can, match them to the store and that is how I can able to get the items for free,” she explained.‎ ‎ When she’s not working at her job, the single mother of a five-year-old son works hard at bringing meals to people in New Jersey, in Washington, D. C., in Baltimore, and beyond. So far, she has delivered 5,000 meals. She’s confident she will reach her goal by next year.‎ Puryear holds several degrees, including a bachelor’s, two masters, and a Ph. D. in psychology. But beyond those accomplishments, she said, “The joy of helping other people does not compare to any other accomplishment in my life.”‎ She also does not forget to pass along to her son what her grandmother had passed along to the rest of her family, “It is very important to teach him to help other people,” she said. “The little things we take for granted, the food we throw away every day and if we just spread a little more love around, the world would be such a better place.”‎ ‎24. How did Lauren Puryear feel when she was informed about couponing?‎ ‎ A. Frustrated B. Disturbed C. Touched D. Delighted ‎25. According to the passage, we can learn that Lauren Puryear__________.‎ ‎ A. works as a mental health doctor B. divorced her husband ‎ C. gave birth to her son at 25 D. obtained three degrees ‎26. What does the underlined expression “this old pastime” in Paragraph 3 refer to?‎ ‎ A. Purchasing much food from stores B. Ordering enough food online ‎ C. Getting deals on items with coupons D.

And the neighborhood’s name has a lot of history behind it.‎ ‎ Historian Andrew Zabegaylin says a Russian cemetery was once nearby. People discovered it in the early days of San Francisco, over 150 years ago. That is when San Francisco was known for being the center of gold mining and trading in the United States. Earlier in Northern California, traders and sailors from the Alaskan Russian American Company called San Francisco home. And that is where they were buried.‎ Some people call San Francisco "the Paris of the West." But it has more Russian than French influences.‎ For example, Holy Trinity Church was the first Russian church in the city. It opened in 1857 and was an important gathering place for Russian immigrants. At the Holy Trinity Church, Saint Tikhon of Moscow once worked with worshippers. He became an American citizen in the early 1900s. Years later, he became Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church. He led the Church from 1917-1925. San Francisco is also home to the Holy Virgin Cathedral. It is the largest Russian Orthodox church on the U.S. west coast.‎ A second group of Russian immigrants came to San Francisco after 1917, during Russia's civil war. Their legacy is still felt at the Russian Center. At the center, you can visit the Museum of Russian Culture. Yves Franquien is the director of the museum. He said it is the largest Russian museum in the West. "Many Russian immigrants from around the world donated their personal and family artifacts," Franquien said. "This is a museum which reflects Russian life before and during the Bolshevik revolution and reflects the life of San Francisco's Russian colony since the 1920s."‎ The Russian Center organizes events and classes for young people. They include kindergarten classes, dance classes and gymnastics. The center is also open to people who do not speak Russian. Zoya Choglokova works at the center. She said the goal is not only to serve adults, but also help young people stay connected to their Russian roots.‎ ‎28. What can we learn from the passage?‎ ‎ A. Muscum of Russian Culture is the largest Russian museum in western Russia ‎ B. French and Russian immigrants live I harmony in the multicultural city ‎ C. Early Russian immigrants were drawn to San Francisco during the Gold Rush ‎ D. The Russian Center is only intended for the youth to have events and classes ‎29.

What may be inferred from the passage?‎ ‎ A. A Russian cemetery was discovered near Russian Hill over 150 years ago ‎ B. Saint Tikhon of Moscow used to work in the first Russian church in San Francisco ‎ C. Many Russian immigrants donated their personal and family artifacts ‎ D. Zoya Choglokova is likely to speak not only Russian but also English ‎31. The best title for the passage can be __________.‎ ‎ A. Russian Culture Rooted in San Francisco ‎ B. Russian Churches Established in San Francisco ‎ C. Russian Immigrants Living in San Francisco ‎ D. Russian Hill Becoming Popular in San Francisco D ‎ Given the fact that depression can begin in early childhood, concerned parents often wonder if there are warning sings of depression to watch for in their own young children.‎ According to a study in the Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, different emotional reactions were seen in preschool children who were depressed or at-risk for internalizing symptoms, and children who were not. Internalizing symptoms, such as extreme shyness and unexplained physical complaints, are associated with depressive symptoms in some children. In their study of 3-to 5-year-olds, they found that depressed and at-risk boys showed more anger than any other study group, and that depressed and at-risk girls showed more sadness overall.‎ ‎ Additional Warming Signs of Depression Parents should be aware of additional signs of depression that may appear in your children. Young children are less likely to be able to express what they are feeling than older children or adults are. Instead, they may cling to a parent and refuse to be separated for fear of something bad happening, consistently complain of uncertain physical illnesses that have to underlying medical cause, or refuse to attend school or leave home. Parents, teachers or caregivers may report that a child “does not seem like herself”.‎ ‎ Unlike adults, where a depressed mood and anhedonia(快感缺失)are the primary factors for making a diagnosis of depression, irritability is an important symptom of depression in children and is actually a factor in the diagnosis of childhood depression, according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Irritability may come in form of angry outbursts, inappropriate reactions, or simply a negative mood.‎ What to Do If You Are Concerned ‎ If you think that your young child has symptoms of depression, visit his pediatrician first. A physician can rule out any physical illness that may be causing his symptoms. Once physical illness has been ruled out, have your child evaluated by a mental health professional who is trained to work with children and to treat mood disorders. The specialist will evaluate your child and determine an appropriate diagnosis and, if necessary, treatment. The early identification of depression is extremely important, especially for children. Effective treatment can reduce the severity of a child’s course of depression.‎ ‎32. What can’t we learn from the study?‎ ‎ A. Early emotional warning sings may be present in the course of childhood depression ‎ B. Emotional reactions turn out to differ between boys and girls at school ‎ C. There is a link between unexplained physical complains and depression in some children ‎ D. A depressed boy tends to be more irritated ,whereas a depressed girl tends to be more sorrowful ‎33. According to the passage, a father needs to realize his little daughter may be depressed when ______.‎ ‎ A. a physician can identify a medical cause for her physical disorder ‎ B. she shows a slight academic decline at school ‎ C. she is always fearful that something terrible may occur ‎ D. she doesn’t like her father’s company ‎34. What does the underlined expression “rule out” in Paragraph 5 mean?‎ ‎ A. Exclude B. Diagnose C. Cure D. Treat ‎35. The text might be taken from the website about __________.‎ ‎ A. medical supplies B. health insurance ‎ C. senior health care D. mental disorder 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ Only 60 percent of students seeking a bachelor’s degree at an American college or university finish their study program within six years. That information comes from the United States Department of Education. 36 The report talks about full-time students who attended a four-year college or university for the first time in 2008. ‎ ‎ Many schools are looking for ways to increase the graduation rate. Some universities require individuals to declare a major at the beginning of their studies. Other schools let students wait until their second year. Changing majors is also acceptable. 37 They note it may cause students to take more time to complete their degree program.‎ ‎__38__The Education Advisory Board (EAB) released the report on the study last month. It looked at the graduation rate of students who changed majors within the first four years of study. On average, their graduation rate was between about four to six percent higher than students who never changed majors.‎ The EAB's senior director Ed Venit wrote the report. He would not comment on whether or not college students should change majors. 39 But he thinks some people become more invested in their studies once they have had time to decide what they truly want to do.‎ Venit added that it is difficult to understand why the graduation rate is so low. Some students leave school because of poor academic performance. Others leave because they lack the money to pay for their schooling. And others leave because they feel they are not getting enough in return for the high cost of higher education. 40 ‎ A. It states that 60 percent of them completed their degree program by 2014‎ B. It was part of a report released in May C. The study was based on information gathered from over 78,000 college students D. No matter the reason, this is the biggest and most complex problem facing higher education E. He said it is not completely clear why changing majors might help students.‎ F.
