I do three night shifts a week, plus overtime if I can get it. Monday is the most occupied day for me -- I work from 10 pm until 8 am on Saturday and Sunday nights, earning just over £100 a night, and then I have to be at my first lecture at 9 am on Monday. By the time I finish lectures, at 2 pm, I’m exhausted, but I know I have to be back at work by 10 pm.‎ I constantly have to force myself to stay awake, and to be alert, whatever it takes. A packet of Skittles and a Red Bull usually helps. The work I do at Sainsbury’s is very physical like stacking shelves. I’m lucky because I’m an active person and the amount I lift at work is nothing compared with the weights I lift in the gym. I know I have the strength to bear it.‎ I’m originally from Nigeria. I came here when I was seven, growing up in Croydon, south London. Money was tight. My parents gave me everything I needed, but there was no money to spend on luxuries. I worked hard at school though and, with the help of GT Scholars, I got some of the best A-level grades in my class.‎ Unfortunately, though I had applied for “settled” British residential status when very young, the Home Office waited until I was in sixth form to approve my application. That meant I wasn’t eligible for a student loan. The only way I could afford to go to university was that if I got a job that would pay for all my living costs and my parents, who work in market research, paid for my tuition fees. In Scotland, that’s about £7,000 a year.‎ I don’t have much time to socialize because of my job. Ideally, I would also like to have more time to study so I can excel at my course. Yes, I have a lot on my plate, but working hard isn’t new to me. Growing up, my parents and my mentors in the church and at GT Scholars cultivated in me the importance of working hard for what I want in life.‎ My dream is to do an MA in physiotherapy next year and then get a job working for the NHS. But right now, I’m just focused on trying to get the best grades I can. Whenever I find life hard, I tell myself this is about my future. I don’t need much, but I would like to worry less about money and have more free time. That is what I look forward to the most.‎ ‎4. Why does the author work long hours and sometimes overtime every week?‎ A. To help his parents pay off the debts. B. To pay for his tuition fees.‎ C. To prove his ability to earn money. D. To pay for his own living expenses.‎ ‎5. The underlined word “eligible” in the passage can be replaced by ________.‎ A. responsible B. qualified C. feasible D. anxious ‎6. According to the passage, which of the following words can NOT be used to describe the author?‎ A. Sociable. B. Diligent C. Ambitious . D. Persistent..‎ ‎7. Which of the following proverbs can best summarize the passage?‎ A. A penny saved is a penny earned . B. Actions speak louder than words. ‎ C. God helps those who help themselves. D .Where there is life, there is hope.[来源:学科网ZXXK]‎ C It’s 5pm on a Friday and I'm standing in a coffee shop above Shibuya crossing - one of the most busiest place in Japan where more than a thousand of Tokyo’s smartly dressed people gather at eight points, ready to cross - then rush straight for each other. It looks like they must bump into each other, but It’s amazing that they all manage to reach the other side safely.‎ But the real reason I'm here is that I want to see people crash. I want businessmen to knock into each other, their umbrellas flying off their arms, and uniformed schoolchildren hitting grannies. Why may I see this now, but wouldn't have had the chance even a year ago? It’s very simple - smartphones.‎ Smartphone use is booming in Japan. In 2012, only about a quarter of Japanese used them, most being perfectly happy with their everyday mobiles. But now more than half of all Japanese now own a smartphone and the number is rising fast. But with that rise has grown another phenomenon - the smartphone walk. Those people who're staring at a phone screen adopt this kind of pace- their head down, arms outreached, looking like zombies（僵尸）trying to find human prey(猎食).‎ Surprisingly, an American named Michael Cucek who has lived here for more than 20 years told me smartphone walk probably wouldn’t be a long-term problem. Japanese phone manner is in fact better than anywhere else in the world - hardly anyone speaks on their phones on trains, and teenagers wouldn't dare broadcast music out of one. If things got truly bad at Shibuya, the police would just start shouting at people to look up.‎ But really, is the smartphone walk such an annoying problem? There's only one way to find out. So I leave the coffee shop, head down to the crossing and start typing an email, promising myself I won't look up until I get to the other side. When they start walking past me, it's my time to cross. As I step ‎ forward, the experience quickly becomes nervous - legs jump in and out of my vision without warning, while shopping bags fly towards my face before being pulled away at the last moment. I'm sure I'm going to get hit, but after a few seconds I relax. It’s OK. Everyone's reacting for me.‎ I expect to see two smartphone walkers just like me. But instead I find a young couple, very much in love and very much refusing to let each other’s hands go just to give way to a fool on his smartphone. The girl gives me such a look of dislike that I quickly apologize and rush round them. That look was enough to ensure I'll never be smartphone walking again.‎ ‎8. Why does the author stand in a coffee shop above Shibuya crossing?‎ A. Because he is waiting for somebody.‎ B. Because he can have a good view from there.‎ C. Because he wants to see what would happen because of smartphones.‎ D. Because it’s interesting to see businessmen’s umbrellas flying off their arms ‎9. How does Michael Cucek find smartphone walk in Japan?‎ A. He found it by accident when he lives here.‎ B. Japanese pay much attention to their phone manner in public. ‎ C. The police in Shibuya are too strict with people’s phone manner.‎ D. Smartphone walk in Japan has a deep root.‎ ‎10. How does the author confirm whether smartphone walk is annoying or not?‎ A. By personal experimenting B. By comparing with other way of walk C. By giving example. D. By explaining the traffic rules patiently ‎11. After smartphone walking himself, the author thinks___________.‎ A. it’s exciting to walk while sending emails B. it’s really dangerous to walk while sending emails C. there are some others smartphone walking like him D. other passers-by give way to him although they dislike. ‎ D Charity Cycling UK recently launched a campaign to raise awareness of dooring after discovering that many people don’t know what it is. Dooring is when a driver or passenger opens the door into another road user—typically cyclist—without looking for other road users.‎ Cycling UK chief executive Paul Tuohy told Gloucestershire Live: “Some people seem to see ‎ car dooring as a bit of a joke, but it’s not and can have serious consequences. Cycling UK wants to see great awareness made about the dangers of opening your car door carelessly, and people to be encouraged to look before they open.”‎ The charity says 2,009 of the 3,000 injuries were sustained by cyclists, resulting in five fatalities but says this might not be the full extent of the danger.‎ ‎ Cycling UK says not all car dooring incidents will be attended by police, so the charity has written to transport minister Jesse Norman calling for a public awareness campaign urging all car occupants, not just drivers, to look before opening vehicle doors. One of the ways the charity suggests is the “Dutch reach”, where people leaving a vehicle reach over and use the non-door side hand to open the door. ‎ Cycling UK also suggests harsher laws and advice on safer road positioning for people who cycle.‎ ‎ Mr. Tuohy said: “In the Netherlands they are known for practicing a method, known sometimes as the ‘Dutch reach’, which we think could be successfully encouraged in the UK.” ‎ ‎“Cycling UK has written to the Department for Transport asking them to look into this, and highlight the dangers of ‘car dooring’ through a public awareness THINK style campaign.”‎ ‎ If you’re really concerned about opening a door into the path of a cyclist coming behind you, consider using what’s known as the “Dutch reach” to open the door.That will naturally turn you in your seat and give you a much better view of what’s coming up alongside in the car.‎ ‎12.Why does the author mention the figures in Paragraph3? ‎ A.To cause public concern. B.To report the terrible accidents. ‎ C.To show the danger of car dooring. D.To stress the importance of traffic safety. ‎ ‎13.While doing the “Dutch reach”, you should________________________. ‎ A.sit stil lin your seat. B.open the car door politely. ‎ C.use the inside hand to open the door. D.use the left hand to open the car door. ‎ ‎14.What can be learned from the text? ‎ A.Many people are ignorant of car dooring. ‎ B.The “Dutch reach” is well received in England.‎ C.Dooring incidents are all attended by police. ‎ D.Drivers are to blame for dooring incidents.‎ ‎15.What’s the author’s attitude towards car dooring? ‎ A.Negative. B.Ridiculous. C.Neutral. D.Concerned 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。‎ When I first came to UK from China at 6, I entered the first grade. 16 . I saw children throw their leftover food into the large trash cans----from half-eaten pizzas to untouched burgers. I watched them pour their milk into a white bucket.

My teacher walked up to me and asked, pointing to the dumplings, “Would you like to take these home?” I carefully replied, “No…” 19 . I thought she was going to share it with other teachers, but immediately after I said that, she threw all the dumplings into the trash and continued cleaning. I was confused: what just happened?‎ ‎ 20 . And today I still witness this frequently in my English friends. Please eat all your food or take it to go or share it or just get enough so you don’t have to throw it away. Thank you.‎ A. In China, “no” usually means “yes”‎ B.
