Twelve-year-old Madelynne Caralli goes trick-or-treating, too. She is happy to get candy. But she really wants food. Madelynne trick-or-treats for donations to give to hungry people.‎ Madelynne’s project began several years ago. When she read a book about children who volunteer in their neighborhoods, she decided to collect food for a food bank. “My mom explained to me that there are people who don’t have any food, and I wanted to help them,” she explained.‎ Madelynne and her mother visited the food bank website to find out what kinds of food were needed. Then they got in touch with people in their neighborhood and told them that Madelynne would be looking for donations at Halloween. She and her mother suggested things like canned soups---food that can be stored for a long time. ‎ On the night she trick-or-treats, Madelynne puts on her costume and walks through the neighborhood collecting food. She says she has been surprised to see how much food people are willing to give. Last Halloween, “some people gave me so much that the bags are breaking,” she says.‎ In the past four years, Madelynne has collected a total of 645 pounds of food. That amount of food helped feed 16 families for a week! Madelynne doesn’t carry all the food herself. Her friend ‎ Jordyn helps her carry the heavy bags. After Halloween, Madelynne and her mother take the food to the food bank. There it is sorted and then given to people who need it. This year, Madelynne plans on trick-or-treating her grandmother’s neighborhood as well as her own.‎ The neighbors also give Madelynne candy for her own trick-or-treating bag. But according to Madelynne, her favorite part of Halloween is not the candy. It is “the feeling that I am helping people.”‎ ‎21. Why does Madelynne want food at Halloween?‎ ‎ A. Because she doesn’t like candy. ‎ ‎ B. Because she wishes to help hungry people.‎ ‎ C. Because she hopes to be different from other kids.‎ ‎ D. Because she wants to remind people not to waste food.‎ ‎22. Madelynne started the project after she____.‎ ‎ A. visited the food bank website ‎ ‎ B. read a book about some volunteer children ‎ C. got in touch with people in her neighborhood ‎ ‎ D. knew many people didn’t have any food at Halloween ‎23. This year, Madelynne plans to ______.‎ ‎ A. prepare more bags to hold food for hungry people ‎ B. collect food as well as ask for candy in her neighborhood ‎ ‎ C. ask her friend Jordyn to help her carry the food to the bank ‎ D. look for donations in her grandmother’s neighborhood too ‎ B Why do we say “it’s not the winning but taking part that counts”?‎ It’s a phrase supported by the founder of the Olympics, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who said “The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part: the important thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.”‎ Most people seem to agree that trying and failing is more admirable than not trying at all. In practice, though, most people seem only to be interested in the medals.‎ In young children’s sporting events, last place is often rewarded with a “wooden spoon” or booby prize（末名奖）. Grown-up athletes don’t even have this to look forward to. Perhaps “taking part” is just designed to cheer up the slowest children: to take the edge off failure.‎ Many people would say otherwise. They say that effort, determination and striving（努力）to reach a goal are worth praising in themselves. It is commonly accepted that through sport one learns to persevere, to sacrifice, to be self-disciplined（有自制力的）, to work hard, to follow orders, to be a leader, and to work with others. Winning athletes are those who combine the good behaviours with natural talent.‎ There are other goals to struggle for apart from a medal. Baron Pierre de Coubertin himself coined the motto“Citius, Altius, fortius” (“Swifter, Higher, Stronger”) for his games. It is an ambiguous phrase, one that could be used to include managing to do something as well as going for gold. ‎ Competition is not unethical. It is reasonable that winners be rewarded, even if their victories have an element of chance ( and all victories have ); this is the essence（本质）of a game, and games are fundamental to humanity. Celebrating achievement is not in itself unethical, but it can drive some competitors to unethical behavior.‎ ‎24. Baron Pierre de Coubertin might agree that .‎ ‎ A. intense competition is bad for people ‎ B. taking part is valued more highly than winning ‎ C. one can win a game if he works hard enough ‎ D. a person can be perfect if he wins every game ‎25. The underlined words “to take the edge off failure” in Paragraph 4 probably mean “ ”.‎ ‎ A. to learn from failure B. to be afraid of failure ‎ C. to reduce the effect of failure D. to warn children of the danger of failure ‎26. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5?‎ A. How people reach a goal easily. B. What makes a winning athlete.‎ C. Why people should not stop learning. D. Which quality counts most in winning a game.‎ ‎27. Why does the author think the Olympic motto is an ambiguous phrase?‎ A. It is hard to change. B. It is hard to understand.‎ C. It is used in different fields. D. It is used for different purpose.‎ C Why does nearly everyone instantly look more attractive with sunglasses on? You know you’re at least a little curious. And so was Vanessa Brown, a senior lecturer of art and design at Nottingham Trent University in the U.K. Her research focuses on the meaning we assign to everyday objects, and in her academic book that’s coming out early next year, she explores the cultural and psychological relationship between sunglasses and our modern idea of “cool”. In an e-mail to Science of Us, Brown explained what her research has uncovered about why most of us look better in shades.‎ Sunglasses do make your face look better. Put on a pair of sunglasses, and there’ll be instant symmetry（对称）! The dark lenses cover up any non-symmetrical features around your eyes, and research on facial attractiveness shows a clear link between symmetry and our ideas of beauty.‎ Many of the snap judgments we form about people come from looking them in the eyes. “The eyes are such a tremendous source of information for the human being,” Brown explained. Eye contact helps us form judgments about someone’s intelligence, confidence, and sincerity, and sunglasses keep us literally in the dark about forming those perceptions about a person. A recent study showed that people who wore sunglasses acted more selfishly and dishonestly than those wearing eyeglasses, which, the researchers argue, suggests that sunglasses cheat us into feeling more unknown.‎ Sunglasses are a relatively modern everyday accessory. Sales started to pick up in the 1920s, but they didn’t become commonplace until about two decades after that. In their early days sunglasses were primarily used during risky water and snow sports, and were also associated with new technologies like airplane travel, which made them seem “daring and thoroughly modern”.‎ Soon after that, Hollywood stars of the 1950s and 1960s started wearing sunglasses to defend themselves from being recognized by the public or harassed by paparazzi（狗仔队）, whose flashbulbs would often explode violently, sometimes literally in their faces. But regardless of practicality, movie stars’ adoption of the sunglasses strengthened the link between sunglasses and attractiveness.‎ ‎28. We know from Paragraph 1 that Vanessa Brown .‎ ‎ A. is an expert on designing sunglasses ‎ ‎ B. keeps regular contact with Science of Us ‎ C. is a senior lecture of history in a university ‎ D. will have a book published next year ‎29. How is the second paragraph developed?‎ A. By following time order. B. By making comparisons.‎ C. By making classifications. D. By providing explanations.‎ ‎30. According to the last two paragraphs, sunglasses .‎ ‎ A. came into being in the 1920s ‎ B. began to get popular in the 1940s ‎ C. was mainly used in airplane travel in the past D. got popular with stars immediately after they appeared ‎ ‎31. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. The reasons sunglasses make people look fashionable.‎ B. The relationship between sunglasses and dishonest people.‎ C. The historical development of sunglasses.‎ D. The role sunglasses play in our daily life.‎ D Once upon a time, a library was just about the only place that someone could go to get a book or go to read for free. Then came the arrival of the Internet, and that changed everything. Before long, books were available on different sites on the web. It was only a matter of time until Kindle, Nook, and other e-readers swept the scene. Along with them came the e-book. Many believed that this would be the end of libraries. But libraries still exist today, and many of them even thrive(繁荣). So, how is it possible that they survived against the onslaught of e-books?‎ For one thing, the truth is that libraries were never just about borrowing books for free. Librarians provide many services other than those of a desk clerk or customer service agent. They often hold seminars, presentations, contests, and other events to promote free education. These events are considered necessary by parents and kids alike.‎ For others, the library is a place where they can go to get away from the rush of the world and from social obligations or family troubles. Many go to the library to study for projects, papers and exams. Others simply see it as a recreational hobby.‎ For another thing, most libraries and librarians do not reject the changing tides of technology. And neither does the world, for that matter. In the US, the graduate degree program to become a librarian is often called a Library Science program. It reflects the fact that the country believes its librarians should keep up with the latest in information technology. Many librarians agree, and therefore have become experts in the field. Librarians have by and large willingly educated themselves in the technology needed to keep up with the fast-paced digital world of technology today.‎ So consider a visit to your local library to see all the recent changes. If you haven’t been to one in a while you might not recognize the place. But don’t worry. Your librarian will be happy to bring you up to speed.‎ ‎32．Which of the following shows the structure of the text?‎ A. B. ‎ C. D. ‎ CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion ‎ ‎33. The underlined word “onslaught” in Paragraph 1 can best be replaced by “_____”. ‎ ‎ A. attack B.price C. future D. quality ‎34. According to Paragraph 4, many librarians ______. ‎ ‎ A. prefer traditional books to e-books ‎ B. have made good use of new technology ‎ C. can’t keep up with the world of technology ‎ D. don’t need to have a graduate degree ‎35. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of librarians? ‎ A. Doubtful. B. Careless. C. Hopeful. D. Disapproving. ‎ 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。‎ Personal branding is important in our everyday life at work. We want to prove that we are a productive and approachable worker in the office. But have you wondered why your peers were approaching any other colleague for help instead of you? We have the answers for you here. 3 36 We need to focus on your emotional aspect that you present in front of your peers too!‎ ‎●You are seen by your ability to deliver results.‎ That’s a plus point. 37 But if you are often not delivering results, your peers will be resistant（抵抗的）to approach you for any help.‎ ‎● 38 ‎ Do you get all work out? Do your emotions fall into pieces? Do you worry all night long over the situation? Your peers would not want a worrisome loser to be in their team, right?‎ ‎● 39 ‎ An individual with a poorer dress sense is always labeled a geek（土包子）. Your peers perhaps think that you are not approachable. Make an effort in your dress sense and avoid being seen as the garage geek from just across the road！‎ ‎●You are seen by your personality in front of them.‎ That is every day, what you look like in front of your peers.

For one thing, compared with the traditional cards, electronic cards are more interesting and lively. You can get not only pictures but also sound even animations. Besides, it’s faster to send an electronic card. For another, there are many websites online which offer varieties of cards for you to choose from. What’s more, with the popularity of the electronic cards, less paper is used for making paper cards, which does good to our environment.‎ ‎ Based on the above discussions, I can easily forecast that sending greetings by using electronic cards will be accepted by more and more people.‎
