Regardless of the warning of firemen, the residents wouldn’t move out because they were poor and had nowhere to go.‎ One night, the building was on fire. The residents began to run for their lives. When half of the population had got themselves out, the wooden staircases broke down. The remaining residents rushed to the roof of the third floor, which had not been touched by the flames yet, waiting for the firemen to rescue them. Firemen did arrive in a short while. But the fire engines and ladders could not reach the building as the alley was too narrow to allow the passage. The situation was critical, since the fire might burn the roof at any moment. The firemen placed a few cushions on the floor, and got some quilts from the nearby houses to add to the pile. Then they asked the people on the burning building to jump on the pile after they had shown how. A man jumped down, bottom touching the pile, uninjured. Another person jumped down, uninjured... They jumped one after another, all safe.‎ Finally, Singermary became the only remaining one on the roof, hesitating while the fire was swallowing the roof soon. People shouted: “Jump, jump!” Singermary jumped, but she jumped head down with open arms. People were amazed and greatly shocked. How could she do such a jump? It was a suicide gesture! Fortunately, the cushions were very thick. She did not die, but injured seriously, saying with what strength she got: “Please take me to hospital!” She was pregnant, and she had jumped head down in order to keep the child safe. That was mother’s love! People were deeply moved.‎ ‎21. Why couldn’t the firemen put out the fire?‎ A. The cushions blocked the way.       B. The fire engines were too old.‎ C. The building was made of wood.    D. The alley was not wide enough.‎ ‎22. Why did Singermary jump in a different way?‎ A. To reduce the danger.    B. To cover her fright.‎ C. To protect her child.      D. To shock her neighbours.‎ ‎23. What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Harmony of Neighbourhood    B. Mother’s Love C. Heroic Firemen               D. An Urgent Rescue B As the G20 Leaders Summit(峰会)kicked off on Sept 4, Hangzhou, the host city, took measures to promote its reputation for entrepreneurship(企业), as well as its ‎ many beauty sports, to those overseas people.‎ Although many may have been surprised when Hangzhou was chosen to host the summit over bigger cities such as Beijing or Shanghai, economic statistics suggest that it’s well deserving of the honor.‎ When the national economy grew at 6.7 percent in the first half of this year, the lowest in more than two decades, Hangzhou steamed ahead with a huge 10.8 percent growth, becoming one of the only two cities in China, alongside Chongqing, with a double-digit growth rate.‎ Walking along the streets of Hangzhou, through centuries-old paths and along the Broadway—like Yan’an Avenue, a tourist can pick up whatever he or she wants with just a smartphone, via Alipay or WeChat Pay---no cash or credit cards needed.‎ And starting this month, one can also rent public bikes simply by scanning the QR code(二维码)with a smartphone.‎ Meanwhile, a short video showing the beauty of Zhejiang Province and its capital, Hangzhou, was being aired on CNBC channels during prime time until Sept 12.‎ The promotional video, created by CNBC’s Catalyst Content Studio, highlighted some of Hangzhou’s most charming attractions.‎ From eye-pleasing beauty spots like the Qiantang River and West Lake to the towering headquarters of leading Internet corporations, the promo(宣传片)showed how the city built its culture on a long history of commerce and developed into a vast modern center of technology, imports and exports.‎ ‎24. According to the passage, ______and Hangzhou became the only two cities in China with a two-digit growth rate in the first half of this year .‎ A. Beijing B. Chongqing C. Shanghai D. Tianjin ‎25. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. Visitors can’t use cash or credit cards to buy things B. Only by scanning the QR code with mobile phones can people rent public bikes C. A short video about Hangzhou would be broadcast on CNBC channel on Sept 12.‎ D. Visitors can buy whatever they want through WeChat Pay on mobile phones ‎26. The author of the passage aims to ____________-.‎ A. explain why Hangzhou was chosen to host the summit B. introduce the promotional video, created by CNBC’s Catalyst Content Studio C. show the beauty of Qiantang River and West Lake D. present the G20 Leaders Summit ‎ C Instagram is containing so many photos of food—now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.‎ I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK, I'd probably do it too. 'The Picture House' is the world's first pay-by-photo restaurant—you order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!‎ The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant (巨人) Birds Eye, who came up with the idea to cash in on people's addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals. So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.‎ The pop-up diner was open in Soho, London for three days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve two-course meals that customers don't have to pay for, if they photo and Instagram it.‎ The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye's 'Food for Life' campaign, a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food. "Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special," said marketing director Margaret Jobling.‎ The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far. And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way. Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses. Last year, in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there, not by what they eat.‎ ‎27.Instagram probably is ____.‎ A. a restaurant free of charge B. a campaign of "Food for Life"‎ C. a program used to share photos D. a new marketing project ‎ ‎28.What's the author's attitude to this new trend?‎ A. Opposed. B. Confused. C. Interested. D. Unconcerned.‎ ‎29.'The Picture House' encourages sharing photos of its food to ____.‎ A. create a new social media trend B. raise the price of frozen food C. reward the regular customers D. attract more customers ‎30. Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?‎ A. No Need to Pay. B. Pay by Picture.‎ C. The Pop-up Diner. D. Food for Life.‎ 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）‎ Master Your Deadlines ‎ The struggle begins in high school，sometimes earlier. Deadlines，and lots of them，start to pile up. At college，the pressure sometimes leads to last -minute rush and unsatisfactory work. At work，failing to meet deadlines can easily get you Bred. 31 Here are a few best practices.‎ ‎●Assign deadlines to what matters.‎ If the task isn’t of high importance，don’t set a specific deadline. In this way，you are able to keep it on your radar for a while without feeling pressured. 32 This will provide just enough pressure to ensure you get it done.‎ ‎● 33 ‎ Set a personal deadline for yourself a day or two before the actual deadline 34 If you’re working with a group of people，add in even more time to account for potential follow-ups and the need for approvals.‎ ‎●Keep communicating. ‎ ‎ 35 This means letting others know when something is taking longer than expected，when a delivery didn’t come in，when a client is not providing the necessary information，etc.‎ Although it may feel embarrassing to admit that something is not on schedule，being honest is much better for relieving your stress.‎ A. Plan for flexible hours.‎ B. Finish your project as early as possible.‎ C. But if the task is urgent，set a deadline immediately.‎ D. In this way，you’11 never have to stay up late and feel stressed.‎ E. But handled properly, deadlines can actually improve productivity.‎ F.

As we all know，the earth is becoming warmer and warmer due to the global climate change. So it’s high time for every one of us to do something to reduce our daily carbon emission.‎ Firstly，changing our previous living habit of wasting is the first step. We can use energysaving electric lights instead of the traditional lights，and turn them off when we don’t use them. Never leave the water running when we don’t use it. .Besides, use public transport or ride your bicycle instead of driving private cars when we travel somewhere. Even if we have to drive，we’d better plan it well in advance to avoid wasting fuel. Last but not least, be an educator. We can call on the people around us to live a green life.‎ It is believed that the global climate change is due to the human activities. Only if we know what we can do in our daily life and live a low carbon life can we make a difference.‎ 听力录音材料 Text 1‎ W: Did you see that,Jimmy?
