The 50-year-old has been homeless ‎ for more than 10 years.‎ ‎“It is hard. It’s hard to live homeless. You filled every day trying to find cut where you are going to get something to eat. If I hadn’t found wonderful Fairfax County Kennedy Shelter, I wouldn’t know where I would be by now. I might be dead,” Talley said.‎ The Kennedy Shelter is one of the facilities New Hope Housing provides for homeless people.‎ Pam Micheli has devoted her life to making the lives of this vulnerable（易受伤的）population better as executive director of the non-profit organization.‎ ‎“I went to Africa in 1985. And I saw a huge amount of poverty, but I saw so much hope. And I decided that I should try to do something that would bring hope to people,” Michell said.‎ When Michell began working with New Hope Housing 25 years ago, its three shelters had about 80 beds. Now, it has 350 beds and serves about 1,500 homeless people every year. She has expanded the program beyond just providing beds for the night.‎ ‎“We do outreach（拓展）, we do prevention, we do permanent housing. We do transitional housing. We have an education program with all sorts of different things to move people to end their homelessness,” she said, “Our Out of Poverty program is not just about money. It’s about you could be spiritually poor, you could be relationship poor ... you could be educationally poor. So it is focusing on how you get out of this poverty that has brought you to being homeless. The program tries to teach the shelter residents self-reliance（自立）and work values, and includes courses on planning and personal responsibility.‎ ‎“I learned I still have opportunities to change it and I can change it,” said shelter resident Lewis Webster. “It is just about going forth in doing necessary work to do it. I mean if you really want better, you would do better and that’s the frame of mind of me now.”‎ ‎24. Gregory Talley’s story is told at the beginning of the text to .‎ A. tell readers the situation for the poor in the US is getting worse B. introduce a non-profit organization that is trying to help the poor in the ‎US C. disclose the truth that more and more homeless people are dying from hunger D. remind readers that the homeless people in the US have no trouble getting food ‎25. According to Paragraph 6, Pam Michell started to bring hope to the homeless by .‎ A. providing dothes for them B. offering food for them C. building new houses for them D. offering them shelters for the night ‎26. What is the final purpose of the education program?‎ A. To tell the homeless people the ways to make money.‎ ‎3. To help the homeless people find the causes of their poverty.‎ C. To encourage the homeless to work and rely on themselves.‎ D. To teach the poor how to live a better life in the shelters.‎ ‎27. What may be the best title for the text?‎ A. Comfort in the Kennedy Shelter B. Ways‎ to Achieve Success C. An Opportunity to Fight Homelessness D. An Organization to End Homelessness C The sharing economy, represented by companies like Airbnb or Uber, is the latest fashion craze. But many supporters have overlooked the reality that this new business model is largely based on escaping regulations and breaking the law.‎ Airbnb is an Internet-based service that allows people to rent out spare rooms to strangers for short stays. Uber is an Internet taxi service that allows thousands of people to answer ride requests with their own cars. There are hundreds of other such services.‎ The good thing about the sharing economy is that it promotes the use of underused resources. Millions of people have houses or apartments with empty rooms, and Airbnb allows them to profit from these rooms while allowing guests a place to stay at prices that are often far less than those charged by hotels. Uber offers prices that are competitive with standard taxi prices and their drivers are often much quicker and more trustworthy.‎ But the downside of the sharing economy has gotten much less attention. Most cities and states both tax and regulate hotels, and the tourists who stay in hotels are usually an important source of tax income. But many of Airbnb’s customers are not paying the taxes required under the law.‎ Airbnb can also raise issues of safety for its customers and trouble for hosts’ neighbors.‎ ‎ Hotels are regularly inspected to ensure that they are not fire traps and that they don’t form other risks for visitors. Airbnb hosts face no such inspections.‎ Since Airbnb is allowing people to escape taxes and regulations, the company is simply promoting thefts. Others in the economy will lose by bearing an additional tax burden or being forced to live next to an apartment unit with a never-ending series of noisy visitors.‎ The same story may apply with Uber. Uber is currently in disputes over whether its cars meet the safety and insurance requirements imposed on standard taxis. Also, if Uber and related services flood the market, they could harm all taxi drivers’ ability to earn a minimum wage.‎ This downside of the sharing needs to be taken seriously, but that doesn’t mean the current tax and regulatory structure is perfect.‎ ‎28. What is the positive thing about the sharing economy?‎ A. It is a global trend. B. It is beyond regulations.‎ C. It draws on spare resources. D. It brings in modest profits.‎ ‎29. What is the problem with Airbnb customers according to the passage?‎ A. They are not regularly inspected. B. They are likely to commit thefts.‎ C. They are allowed not to pay taxes. D. They can be noisy to hosts’ neighbors.‎ ‎30. What is the argument over Uber according to the passage?‎ A. Whether it guarantees customers, safety.‎ B. Whether it provides reliable services.‎ C. Whether it lowers customers’ expenses.‎ D. Whether it can compete with standard taxis.‎ ‎31. What will be talked about in the following paragraphs?‎ A. Existing regulations and laws.‎ B. Necessary improvements of current laws.‎ C. Further development of Airbnb and Uber.‎ D. More downsides of Airbnb and Uber.‎ D It seems that technology could be changing the places where we live. A project conducted by Johann Siau, a senior lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire’s School of Engineering and ‎ Technology, has built on the university’s InterHome project aimed to create a home that supervises people living at home who are weak or elderly.‎ ‎“We’ve developed a wristband type of device（装罝）,” said Johann Siau, “which allows us to monitor the condition of an elderly person, or whoever is wearing the device. It allows us to collect data of a person to see if the person has fallen or is away from where they are supposed to be. It connects an elderly person with an assisted living type of device with the InterHome.” The assisted living project is part of the university’s wider InterHome project, which is the development of a smart house. The house stores the usage patterns of the person living there and can adapt to make it use as little energy as possible. Connecting the two together and building the service element（元素）allow us to introduce the assisted living idea to care for the elderly. It’s very important that these technologies are there to help and support rater than to replace any of the existing services.‎ The InterHome is not just a prototype（样品）or a vehicle for research. It’s a study tool to help students from different scientific backgrounds learn about and develop technology. The InterHome combines the latest broadband technology, mobile data and communication. Researchers and students make sure that all the technology works together. Students get experience by developing new hardware and software themselves. It requires a variety of skills from students－electronic engineers, computer students, design students ad so on. “The present plan we are working on is a smart home project in Watford with some commercial companies, said Johann Siau. “We are looking at how a smarter home can provide extra value services.”‎ ‎32. The underlined word “supervises’” in Paragraph 1 probably means “ ”.‎ A. watches over B. gives support to C. directs D. comforts ‎33. What is the InterHome project intended to do?‎ A. Call on the students to care for old people.‎ B. Provide letter care and services for the elderly.‎ C. Carry out all the work the existing services do.‎ D. Develop houses that mainly aim to save energy ‎34. What can we learn about the InterHome project from the article?‎ A. It is a large collection of many existing technologies.‎ B. It is just a platform to help students to do research work.‎ C. It is a smart home project developed by different universities.‎ D. It allows students to put into use and try out what they’ve learned.‎ ‎35. What is the main purpose of the author in writing this article?‎ A. To build up a new platform for students to develop new technology.‎ B. To show how future buildings will change elderly people’s way of life.‎ C. To describe a new project that aims to develop a smart home for the elderly.‎ D. To introduce a new kind of technology to help people to enjoy a better life.‎ 第二节　（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。‎ Success is about being able to live a happy and fulfilling life that allows you to be true to who you really are. Do you want to have a successful life and create a life that makes you feel passionate to be alive? 36 .‎ ‎1. Believe In Yourself If you don’t believe that you can achieve all that you are setting out to achieve, it is going to be very difficult to create a successful life. 37 , it fuels your creativity, your ambition and your motivation to do things. It also helps you take a leap of faith when it comes to going after what it is that you truly desire.‎ ‎2. 38 ‎ If your intention is simply rooted in money and fame, chances are you are never going to truly feel successful.

It’s reported that in China many children in mountainous areas still can’t go to school as a consequence of poverty. Last week, our class held a discussion about how to help them to go to school and lead a happy childhood.‎ Here are our suggestions. To start with, some old textbooks and clothes can be collected ‎ and sent to those children so that they can be reused by them. In addition, it’s also of great significance to appeal to more people and social organizations to help and care for those poor children. As far as I’m concerned, we should save some of our pocket money and give it to those children in need. Above all, we should give them respect, never looking down upon them because they are poor.‎ We’ll really appreciate it if you can, through the English Weekly, increase public awareness of the poor children’s living conditions and call on more people to help them.‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua
