His Korean immigrant parents had taught him and his older brother not to waste food.‎ While studying finance and accounting at New York University, Robert remembered this lesson and joined Two Birds One Stone, a food-rescue club on campus that delivered, five days a ‎ week, uneaten pasta, vegetables, and other leftovers from the dining hall to nearby homeless shelters.‎ When Robert and fellow club member Louisa Chen entered a college entrepreneurship（创业） contest, they proposed a slightly different idea for a food-rescue nonprofit group: Their program wouldn’t have a donation minimum (meaning they would gladly pick up one bag of leftover bagels or a single pot of soup), would operate seven days a week, and would be run entirely by volunteers.‎ Their idea won the competition. With the $1,000 prize, they founded Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC) in July 2013. In just the first few weeks, Robert’s team delivered a donation of enough spaghetti and meatballs to feed 20 people in line at a New York City homeless shelter that had run out of food.‎ Robert, who had taken a job at J.P. Morgan, devoted his spare time to creating a network of New York City restaurants that agreed to donate food, and he found volunteers to make food deliveries to homeless shelters. After RLC received national press attention, homeless shelters and soup kitchens in Portland, Oregon, Washington, DC and other cities reached out to Robert for partnership advice. To date, RLC has distributed more than 250,000 pounds of food in 12 cities around the country.‎ Only a year into his finance job, Robert gave up his six-figure salary to focus on RLC. “I compared one hour of impact at J.P. Morgan to one hour at RLC, and the difference was just huge,” he says. He’s now the group’s only full-time employee.‎ ‎“One shelter recently told us that our donations allow them to provide entire dinners for more than 300 people, three nights a week,” Robert says. “Things like that make me glad I quit my job.”‎ ‎4．Which of the following statements about RLC is NOT true?‎ A.

Morgan takes too much of his time.‎ C. RLC needs a full-time employee to develop its business.‎ D. Working for RLC is more meaningful than for J.P. Morgan ‎7．According to Robert, which of the following words best describes the job at RLC?‎ A. rewarding B. surprising C. tiring D. exciting C Andy rode slowly on his way to school,day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him.He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him.‎ He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present.He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens.What he saw shocked and terrified him.A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him.‎ With no time to waste,Andy sped off in the opposite direction,riding furiously—but without knowing how to escape the swarm.With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously,he sped down the rough road.As the bees came closer,his panic increased.Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings(蜇).The last sting had landed him in hospital—and that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days.Suddenly,his father’s words came to him.“When you are in a tight situation,don’t panic.Use your brain and think your way out of it.”‎ On a nearby hill,he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home. “Bees don’t like smoke,” he thought.“They couldn’t get into the house.” Andy raced towards the Nelson house, but the bees were gaining ground.Andy knew he could not reach the house in time.He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon.‎ Suddenly,out of the corner of his eyes,he spotted a small dam used by Mr.Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden.Off his bike and into the cool water he lived,disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects.After holding his breath for as long as he could,Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone. Dragging himself out of the dam,he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell.Mrs.Nelson took him inside and rang his mother.‎ ‎“You’ll really need that fishing break to help you recover,” laughed his mother with relief.“Thank goodness you didn’t panic!” But Andy did not hear her.He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow.‎ ‎8．Why did Andy fail to notice the swarm of bees earlier?‎ A.

Japanese scholars have been confident for ages about their resilience（抗震性）.‎ For centuries, many believed the resilience of pagodas is caused by its big central columns known as shinbashira actually does not carry any weight at all but is hanging down loosely from the top of the pagoda through the middle of the building. The weight of the building is supported entirely by twelve outer and four inner columns.‎ And what is the role of the shinbashira, the central column? Mr. Ishida, known as ‘Professor Pagoda’ has built a series of models and tested them on a ‘shake-table’ in his laboratory. In short, the shinbashira was acting like a big pendulum(钟摆). Under pressure, a pagoda’s loose floors could be made to move back and forth independently. Viewed from the side, the pagoda seemed to be doing a snake dance—with each floor moving in the opposite direction to its neighbors above and below. The shinbashira, running up through a hole in the centre of the building, made it unlikely that individual floors moved too far because, after moving a certain distance, they banged into it, transmitting energy away along the column.‎ Another strange feature of the Japanese pagoda is its shape, with each floor being smaller than the one below. In other words, a five-storey pagoda contains not column that travels right up through the building. More surprising is the fact that the individual storeys of a Japanese pagoda are not actually connected to each other. They are simply put on top of another like a small hill of hats.‎ The extra-wide eaves（屋檐）also play a part. Think of them as a balancing pole of tightrope-walkers. The bigger the mass at each end of the pole, the easier it is for tightrope walker to maintain his or her balance. The same holds true for a pagoda.‎ ‎12．Shuzo Ishida performs experiments in order to ________.‎ A. put the pendulum into practice B. gain insight into the “shake-table” model C. learn about the function of the shinbashira D. locate shinbashira’s excat position in a pagoda ‎13．The underlined word “loose” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by ________?‎ A. lost B. relaxed C. base D. shakable ‎14．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the article?‎ A. Some columns may extend from the bottom to the top of a pagoda.‎ B. The functions of extra eaves and balancing poles are similar.‎ C. The storeys of a Japanese pagoda aren’t built firmly.‎ D. Pagodas’s amazing resilience has long puzzled scholars.‎ ‎15．What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. How Shinbashira Plays Its Role B. Why Pagodas Do Not Fall Down C. Distinct Features of Japanese Architecture D. Shuzo Ishida, a Famous Engineer 二、完形填空 As a temporary teacher, my daily routine_______driving to a new school_______every day,‎ ‎ so I’m usually unable to anticipate (预料) the day’s events, good or bad.‎ On one particular day, I was teaching in a very_______class.
