Listed below are several influential young people． Muzoon Almellehan, 19 Millions of children live in refugee camps（难民营）, where few have access to school.Almellehan experienced these conditions firsthand after fleeing Syria. Fighting to change that, she travels the world to tell people about the significance of education. Almellehan, UNICEF's（United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund） youngest-ever goodwill ambassador now, plans to return to her homeland Syria finally． Auli'i Cravalho, 17 The Hawaii native voiced the heroine in Disney's hit movie Moana. Now Auli'i is taking on a new role. She'll star on NBC's Rise, a drama about a high school theater department that lifts the spirits of a struggling steel town in Pennsylvania. Based on a true story, the show has strengthened her belief that young people can bring about real change． Mikaila Ulmer, 13 Mikaila used to hate bees. She was stung（蜇）twice. But after learning honeybees are critical to the ecosystem and dying out, she developed a fascination with them. She was determined to help. Using her great-grandmother's recipe, Mikaila made a mixture, sweetened with local honey. She sold it at community business fairs,donating 10% of her profits to honeybee-advocate groups.

They have no interest in academic subjects．‎ B Imagine you are living in a city a few decades from now. An average morning might look something like this： There will be no alarm clock at your wake-up time - at least, not in the traditional form．Instead, you'll be waken by the smell of freshly brewed coffee， by light entering your room as curtains open automatically, and by a gentle back massage（按摩）administered（管理） by your hi-tech bed．You're more likely to awake refreshed, because on your bed there's a special sensor（传感器） that monitors your sleeping condition, determining when to wake you so as not to interrupt your normal sleeping． Your apartment is an electronic orchestra and you are the conductor. With simple gestures and spoken instructions, you can control temperature, music and lighting. You are able to skim through the day's news on a screen while a newly cleaned suit is delivered from your wardrobe. You head to the kitchen for breakfast and the translucent ‎（透明的）news display follows, as a digital image hovering just in front of you． You take a cup of coffee and some fresh bread, baked to perfection in your computer-controlled oven, and read through new emails on a screen in front of you. Your central computer system suggests a list of housework your robots should deal with today, all of which you approve． You take up notes for a presentation you'll give later that day to important new colleagues abroad． All of your data - from your personal and professional life - is stored in the cloud, a remote digital-storage system. You own a few different digital devices（设备）; one is the size of a tablet, another the size of a pocket watch, while others might also be convenient to take with you. All will be lightweight, extremely fast and will use more powerful processors than anything available today．‎ 24. According to the text, what might wake you up in a future morning？ []‎ A. A massage from your hi-tech bed B. A traditional alarm clock C. The taste of freshly brewed coffee D. The light switched on in the room ‎25. What will you do in a future morning？‎ A. Deliver the newly cleaned suit from the wardrobe． B. Check a list of housework the robots will do． C. Control the oven to bake the bread． D. Make breakfast while reading news．‎ ‎26. What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in paragraph 3？‎ A. You can control things in your apartment with simple instructions． B. Your apartment is a good place to conduct the orchestra． C. You can instruct an orchestra to do housework． D. Your apartment can instruct you to control many things．‎ ‎27. What are the proper words to describe future digital devices？‎ A. Personal and professional B. Remote and systematic C. Powerful and available D. Light and convenient C Many people have bought insurance, either life or property, commercial or compulsory（强制的）. Yet some people know little about it and some even misunderstand its nature and function． Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to a risk of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the ship-owner knows that his ships may be lost at sea; the breadwinner knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire nor every ship is lost at sea. If these persons each put a small amount of money into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer losses. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contribution are known as the insured and those who manage the pool of contributions as insurers． The legal basis of all insurance is the policy. This is a printed form of contract on a piece of paper in best quality. It states that every year the insured shall pay an amount of money, which is called the premium；in return, the insurer will pay an amount of money or compensation for losses if the risk or event insured against actually happens． The premium for insurance naturally depends upon how likely the risk is to happen, as suggested by past experience. If companies fix their premiums too high, there will be more competition in their area of insurance and they may lose business. On the other hand, if they make the premium too low. they will lose money and may even have to drop out of business. So the ordinary forces of supply and demand keep premiums at a level satisfactory to both the insurer and the insured．‎ 28. The underlined phrase in Para.2most probably means ______．‎ A. money paid by the insurers B. each premium C. money paid by all those insured D. the cost of administering insurance ‎29. Insurance premiums do not become too high because ______．‎ A. not many people insure themselves B. premiums depend on the risk of losses C. insurers have to be more competitive D. insurance companies can never lose money ‎30. According to the passage， insurance business gains profit because ______．‎ A. more and more people buy insurance B. the firms have sound management C. the premium is increased year by year D. only a few of those insured suffer losses ‎31. The purpose of the passage is to ______．‎ A. explain an insurance policy B. introduce insurance business C. persuade people to be insured D. warn people of possible losses D In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh（法老）treated the message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace，if he brought good news．However，if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off． Shades of that spirit spread over today's conversations．Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked happily out of the door，picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said，"Oh boy，bad day for a picnic．The weatherman says it's going to rain. "I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches．Not for his stupid weather report, but for his smile． Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter，the sales agent said with a broad smile，"Oh，that bus left five minutes ago．"Dreams of head cutting! It's not the news that makes someone angry．It's the unsympathetic attitude with which it's delivered．Everyone must give bad news from time to time，and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude．A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way．A boss informing an employee he didn't get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they ‎ should share the feeling of the receiver． Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you're tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn't ready yet？When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece？It makes you as a traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces． Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said,"Oh, that's all right．I'll catch the next one．"Big winners，when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded（被轰炸的）person is sure to have．‎ 32. In Paragraph 1，the writer tells the story of the pharaoh to ______．‎ A. make a comparison B. introduce a topic ‎ C. describe a scene D. offer an argument ‎33. In the writer's opinion，his neighbor was ______．‎ A. not helpful B. friendly ‎ C. warm-hearted D. not considerate ‎34. From"Dreams of head-cutting!"（Paragraph 3）, we learn that the writer ‎ A. was reminded of the cruel pharaoh B. wished that the sales agent would have bad dreams C. dreamed of cutting the sales agent's head that night D. was mad at the sales agent ‎35. What is the main idea of the text?‎ A. Receiving bad news requires great courage． B. Helping others sincerely is the key to business success． C. Delivering bad news with sympathy is important in communication．‎ D. Learning ancient traditions can be useful．‎ 第二节: 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。‎ A great life doesn't happen by accident. It is the result of allocating（分配）your time, energy, thoughts, and hard work towards what you want your life to be.

It is the result of using what you get in a creative and thoughtful way, instead of just what comes next 36 ! S - Simplify. A great life is the result of simplifying your life. People often misunderstand what simplify means. 37 . When you focus on simplifying your life， you free up energy and time for the work that you enjoy and the purpose for which you are here. In order to create a great life, you will have to make room for it in yours first． E - Effort. A great life is the result of your best effort. Creating it requires that you make some adjustments. It may mean re-evaluating how you spend your time， or choosing to spend your money in a different way. Life will reward your best effort． C - Create priorities（首要事情）. A great life is the result of creating priorities. 38, instead of intentionally using the time, energy and money you have in a way that's important to you. Focus on removing the obstacles that get in the way of you making sure you are honoring your priorities． R - Reserves. A great life is the result of having reserves-reserves of things, time， space, energy, and money. Reserves are important because they reduce the fear of consequences, and that allows you to make decisions based on what you really want instead of what the fear decides for you． E - Eliminate distractions（使人分心的事）. A great life is the result of removing distractions.39 . Find ways to free up your mental energy for things that are more important to you． T - Thoughts. A great life is the result of controlling your thoughts so that you accept and allow for the possibility that it actually can happen to you! 40 .

Believing there is a solution to the same old problems you encounter year after year is vitally important to creating a life that you love． S - Start． A great life is the result of starting． Don't wait for a raise， or until the kids get older.
