It was faded (褪色) from years of wear, but still in good shape. I found it in 1963 when I was home from college on Christmas break, looking through bags of clothes Mom planned to give away. Seeing me packing the yellow shirt, Mom said, “I wore that when I was pregnant (怀孕) with your brother in 1954!” “It’s just the thing to wear over my clothes during art class, Mom. Thanks!” Then I put it into my suitcase. The yellow shirt became a part of my college wardrobe (衣 橱). I loved it. After graduation, I wore the shirt the day I moved into my new apartment and on Saturday mornings when I cleaned. The next year, I married. When I became pregnant, I wore the yellow shirt. I missed Mom and the rest of my family, since we were in Colorado and they were in Illinois. But that shirt helped. I smiled, remembering that Mother had worn it. That Christmas, I repaired one sleeve, packed it in holiday paper and sent it to Mom. When Mom wrote to thank me for her real gifts, she said the yellow shirt was lovely. The next year, my husband, daughter and I stopped at Mom and Dad’s to pick up some furniture. Days later, at the kitchen table, I noticed something yellow tied to its bottom. The shirt! And so the pattern was set. On our next visit home, I secretly placed the shirt under Mom and Dad’s mattress (床垫). I don’t know how long it took for her to find it, but almost two years passed before I discovered it under the base of our living-room floor lamp. The yellow shirt was just what I needed now while refinishing (重新整修) furniture. 24. After college graduation, the writer used to wear the shirt when ______.

My Family’s Yellow Shirt C Engineers have launched a huge garbage collection device to gather plastics floating in the Pacific Ocean between California and Hawaii. The plastic makes up what is called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. It is the world’s largest spread of garbage, twice the size of the state of Texas. The Organization Ocean Cleanup created the collection device. The group’s founder is Boyan Slat, a 24-year-old inventor from the Netherlands. When Slat was 16, he went diving in Mediterranean Sea and saw more plastic bags than fish. Since then, he has made up his mind to clean up the oceans. He told the Associated Press that researchers with his organization have found plastic from the 1960s and 1970s among the material in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. It contains an estimated 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic in total. Most of them float on the surface of the water, or are within a few meters of the surface. Last Saturday, a ship pulling the pipe-shaped floating barrier left San Francisco for the Garbage Patch. The barrier, called the floater, is 600 meters across. Attached to it is a screen (筛子) that hangs three meters down in the water. The screen is designed to collect the plastic as it moves through the water. Sea animals can safely swim under the barrier. The cleanup system also comes with lights powered by the sun, cameras, and other special devices. Slat said this enabled the system to communicate its position at all times. Shipping containers will hold all the plastic gathered, including bottles and fishing equipment. Slat said the containers were expected to be back on land within a year. Then the plastic will be recycled. And they will also study how the system performs in severe ocean conditions, including huge waves. 28. How did Boyan Slat react to that dive in the Mediterranean Sea? A. He showed a great interest in diving. B. He became worried about his safety. C. He decided to remove the garbage in oceans. D. He became curious about underwater creatures. 29. What has the organization Ocean Cleanup found about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? A. Most of its plastic is half a century old. B. It covers almost the size of the state of Texas. C. Altogether there are about 1.8 billion pieces of plastic. D. The majority of its plastic floats on or near the surface. 30. Why was a screen attached to the ship? A. To power lights in the ship. B. To protect sea animals near it. C. To tell the position of the ship. D. To collect plastic along the way. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. Approaches to removing garbage in oceans. B. The problem of garbage in the Pacific Ocean. C. A young man who does well in classifying garbage. D. A huge device made to clean garbage in oceans. D America’s trucking industry employs roughly 3.5 million people, carries 10.6 billion tons of goods back and forth across the country per year, and brings in $738.9 billion in taxes annually. It is, in some way, a logistical (物流的) wonder. Though America’s trucking industry may one day be replaced by new trains, or giant trucks piloted by AI systems, for now we need to deal with the system we have, instead of daydreaming about a new one. Truck driving used to be a desirable profession for Americans, but almost no one wants to be a truck driver anymore. The industry is already short of 50,000 tractor-trailer drivers, and that number could expand to 174,000 by 2026. The solution is simple: raising drivers’ wages (薪水). While trucking is generally considered a high-quality blue-collar job, average pay for truckers is only around $42,000. That’s more than $10,000 below the average household income in America. Bear in mind too, that the economically essential function served by the trucking industry creates a very tough quality of life for truckers themselves. Being far away from home for days or weeks at a time causes all sorts of personal issues. Therefore, drivers really deserve to be paid more. The good news is that last week’s jobs report did show an increase in wages. In trucking specifically, compensation finally jumped 10 to 12 percent over the last year. It’s not enough, but it’s a step in the right direction. And to encourage the American trucking industry, there are regulations too. A federal rule from 2004 limits truckers to driving 11 hours in any 14-hour period. Of course, this rule was put in place to make truck driving a more humane (人道的), and less demanding industry. But it also lowered the amount of driving any trucker could do, increasing the number of drivers needed to cover the same number of routes. And it couldn’t avoid the long hours on the road, lonely nights in hotels, and etc. The effective way to fix the problem is obvious: If your industry can’t find enough workers, you need to pay them more. 32. What do the figures in paragraph 1 show? A. The convenience of trucking in America. B. The significance of trucking industry for America. C. The big burden on America’s trucking industry. D. The quick development of America’s trucking industry. 33. Which of the following are the causes of fewer truck drivers according to the passage? ① suffering from health issues caused by driving ② having a small salary ③ having a low-quality blue-collar job ④ working outside for long ⑤ lacking respect from others A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ②④⑤ D. ①②④ 34. What can we know about the federal rule from 2004? A. It aimed at promoting the efficiency of truck drivers. B. It didn’t make much difference to the trucking industry. C. It effectively relieved the truck drivers’ burdens. D. It tended to get resisted by numerous truck drivers. 35. What is the passage mainly about? A. The ways to fix America’s trucking industry. B. The decline of America’s trucking industry. C. The problems troubling America’s truck drivers. D. The regulations governing America’s truck drivers 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 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. Volunteering on Thanksgiving can be a very rewarding experience. One of the most popular Thanksgiving volunteer opportunities involves working in the local food or homeless shelter. Most towns and cities have these types of shelters. 36 When volunteering here, you have a variety of options to choose from. 37 This can involve cooking the Thanksgiving turkey or preparing some simple side dishes. Even if you aren’t very handy in the kitchen, you can still help make some food donations outside. Individuals who both wish to spend Thanksgiving with family and to actively participate in Thanksgiving volunteer opportunities can adopt an individual or a family for the holiday. This is a great idea for people who make a large Thanksgiving meal. When adopting a family for Thanksgiving, you would make a large meal, as usual. 38 Many times, just seeing a cheerful face on Thanksgiving is enough to brighten any person’s day. If you love interacting with and talking to people, these types of Thanksgiving volunteer opportunities may be for you. 39 By calling these places, you will often be able to find out if they have any Thanksgiving volunteer programs. There are Thanksgiving volunteer opportunities available to suit everybody’s wants and needs. 40 Thanksgiving volunteer opportunities during these marathons can include checking in marathon participants and working at the concession stands (小吃摊位). A. They are often very busy during the holidays. B. Some people, including myself, feel lonely during Thanksgiving. C. Many areas organize marathons or other road races for Thanksgiving. D. You can volunteer by delivering Thanksgiving dinners to some families. E. If you are a good cook, you may be able to help prepare a Thanksgiving meal. F. Many places such as hospitals are full of people who can’t go home on Thanksgiving. G. They would come to your house to eat and participate in the merriment of the holiday. 第三部分：英语知识运用 (共两节，满分 45 分) 第一节 完形填空（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出最佳选 项。 Both my parents were born to help plants grow well.

Dana told him everything was a quarter except Nezumi, a cotton toy rat. It was grey with some cotton sticking out from the hole where an ear had been torn off. “Nezumi is extra special, so he is ten dollars. He needs a safe new home.” Dana sighed. Tim laughed saying he didn’t have ten dollars. Dana laughed too and gave Nezumi to Tim as a free gift because he was her friend. When Tim whispered it was sort of old, Dana said old toys were the best. She then invited Tim to her birthday party the next evening, adding that her parents were giving her a real rat for her birthday. Tim was amazed and asked if it was a live rat. “Of course.” Dana said. At home, Tim’s mother showed him the gift she had bought for Dana. It was a knitting spool (针织线轴) shaped like a mushroom. Mom said Dana could knit a scarf for her doll. Tim sighed that Dana wasn’t a knitting kind of person but a rat kind of person. Mom laughed after knowing what had happened. Together they drove to the pet store, where Tim searched and searched and selected a clear plastic ball, one in which the rat could run around on the floor safe from cats and dogs. Tim thought of Nezumi’s ear and decided Dana’s new rat would need this ball. The next day, Dana brought cupcakes to class. When she handed a cupcake to Tim, she asked if Tim brought Nezumi to school as Nezumi liked to ride in backpacks. Tim was at a loss because Nezumi was at home on his bed. Then Dana asked what gift he was giving her. Tim replied it was a surprise. In silence they sat for a while before he heard Dana say her parents were giving her a new bike for her birthday instead of a live rat because they thought rats would bite things. 注意: 1. 所续写的短文词数应为 150 左右; 2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好; Para 1: At home that afternoon, Tim stared at the plastic rat ball. ___________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: All of a sudden, he had an idea. ___________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ 【参考答案】 听力：1—5.

Wondering about the use of the clear plastic ball if Dana had no rat, he started walking up and down the room with a frown on his face. Mom was surprised and asked him what was happening. Tim told her Dana wasn’t getting a live rat from her parents but a bike. As they were racking their brains (绞脑汁) to come up with an appropriate gift, Tim turn around and saw Nezumi on his bed. All of a sudden, he had an idea. He lifted Nezumi and squeezing Nezumi into the plastic ball with great caution so that Nezumi would be safe from cats and dogs. Seeing this, Mom asked Tim whether he was giving Dana an old cotton rat with one ear as a gift, Tim nodded with a smile saying she would definitely like it. Looking at Mom’s confused expression, Tim added that Dana was a Nezumi kind of person who thought old toys were the BEST.
