What they walked into was a heated human drama.‎ Once inside, the police officers, Lt. Louis Sojo, Esanidy Cuevas and Michael Rivera, were approached by a store security guard who asked for help with a suspected thief. The woman in question didn’t have the look of a career criminal. She was obviously scared, and her cheeks were wet with tears.‎ The police officers glanced inside her bag. “All we saw was containers of food. We didn’t see anything else,” Cuevas told CBS New York.‎ ‎“I’m hungry,” she explained quietly.‎ Caught red-handed, the woman no doubt expected to be sent to prison for the crime of being hungry while poor. But the police officers had other ideas. “We’ll pay for her food,” Sojo told the surprised security guard.‎ There’d been no discussion among the three men, no need to see whether they were all in. It went unsaid. Instead, they picked up the woman’s bag and accompanied her to a cash register, where each paid $10 for the food. She would not be arrested today.‎ All the woman could do was weep in gratitude. Covering her face with a handkerchief and drying her eyes, she repeated, “Thank you, thank you.”‎ She wasn’t the only one touched by this act of compassion. “It was a very beautiful, genuine moment,” says Paul Bozymowski, who was at the store. He was so taken by what he’d witnessed that he posted a photo on Twitter for all to see.‎ But attention was never what the officers sought. They were driven by a far more common emotion. As Sojo told CNN , “When you look at someone’s face and see that they need you and they’re actually hungry, it’s pretty difficult as a human being to walk away from something like this.”‎ ‎24．Why did the woman cry at first?‎ A．She was grateful to the police officers.‎ B．She was sad because she had nothing to eat.‎ C．She was happy that she would not go to prison.‎ D．She was afraid because she was caught stealing.‎ ‎25．The underlined word “red-handed” in paragraph 5 can be replaced by ________.‎ A．on the spot B．with bloody hands C．in the red clothes D．with a knife ‎26．Why did Paul Bozymowski post a photo on Twitter？‎ A．Because he wanted to thank the police officers.‎ B．Because he was planning to seek attention from others.‎ C．Because he wanted to help the woman.‎ D．Because he was moved by what the police officers had done.‎ ‎27．What’s the best title for the passage?‎ A．A Crime Committed B．Trapped in the Market C．Crime and Compassion D．Poverty and Compassion C ‎ Your local grocery store is a psychological minefield (布雷区)，where even the bananas are ripe with mystery.‎ ‎1.Southpaws (左撇子) have an invisible advantage You've probably seen that stores keep go-to items produce, meats, dairy on the outer edge. But did you notice that most of them are set up to make you run counterclockwise (逆时针)? Ninety percent of us are right-handed, so we buy more when it's counterclockwise.You'll also often find the dairy section in the back-left corner: Because dairy is likely on your list, stores make sure you take the longest route to get there.In fairness, it's also a more convenient place to put a fridge.‎ ‎2.Everything is in its place It's safe to say that nothing you see on a shelf is there by chance.The cookies on sale at the end of a passage are likely the result of smart product placement.More expensive items are usually placed at an adult's eye level, while colorful treats and other products for kids are positioned lower to catch the attention of children.‎ ‎3.Time goes by so slowly Stores rarely have windows or clocks.With no reference to the outside world, customers can easily lose track of how long they've been there so that they can buy more.Grocery stores may use another trick to control your sense of time: small floor tiles (瓷砖).‎ ‎28．Why do stores usually put dairy in the back-left corner?‎ A．To make people buy more. B．To attract people's attention.‎ C．Because it is a quiet place. D．Because most people are right-handed.‎ ‎29．You are more likely to find toys________.‎ A．in corners B．at the end of a passage C．at an adult's eye level D．on lower shelves ‎30．Why are there usually no windows or clocks in stores?‎ A．They are useless. B．To make customers stay longer.‎ C．There is no space for them. D．To allow customers to enjoy themselves.‎ ‎31．Which can be the best title for the text?‎ A．Advantages of stores B．Secrets of stores C．How to shop in stores D．How to operate a store D Mrs Smith trembled with excitement when she was told her fortunes. “Somebody is coming home to you,” Mrs Gray said slowly. “He’s carrying a rifle on his back and he’s almost there.”‎ Mrs Smith felt as if she could hardly breathe. “And there he is!” Mrs Gray cried, pointing to the road. They all rushed to the door to look.‎ A man in a blue coat, with a gun on his back, was walking down the road toward the Smith farm. His face was hidden by a large pack on his back.‎ Laughing and crying, Mrs Smith grabbed her hat and her children and ran out of Mrs Gray’s house. She hurried down the road after him, calling his name and pulling her children along with her. But the soldier was too far away for her voice to reach him.‎ When she got back to their farm, she saw the man standing by the fence. He was looking at the little house and the field of yellow wheat. The sun was almost touching the hills in the west. The cowbells rang softly as the animals moved toward the barn (畜棚).‎ ‎“How peaceful it all is,” Private Smith thought. “How far away from the battles, the hospitals, the wounded and the dead. My little farm in Wisconsin. How could I have left it for those years of killing and suffering?”‎ Trembling and weak with emotion, Mrs Smith hurried up to her husband. Her feet made no sound on the grass, but he turned suddenly to face her. For the rest of his life, he would never forget her face at that moment.‎ ‎“Emma!” he cried.‎ The children stood back watching their mother kissing this strange man. He saw them, and kneeling down, he pulled from his pack three huge red apples. In a moment, all three children were in their father’s arms. Together, the family entered the little unpainted farmhouse.‎ Later that evening, after supper, Smith and his wife went outside. The moon was bright, above the eastern hills. Sweet, peaceful stars filled the sky as the night birds sang softly, and tiny insects buzzed in the soft air.‎ His farm needed work. His children needed clothing. He was no longer young and strong. But he began to plan for next year. With the same courage he had faced the war, Private Smith faced his difficult future.‎ ‎32．Why could Mrs Smith hardly breathe when told her fortunes?‎ A．She had a sudden heart attack and almost lost consciousness.‎ B．She was shocked by the scene of a man with a rifle on his back.‎ C．She was overjoyed on hearing the return of her husband.‎ D．She ran out of the house too fast to catch her breath.‎ ‎33．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 7 suggest?‎ A．The moment expected for years would be a life-long memory.‎ B．He had almost forgotten her face after those years’ suffering.‎ C．He was shocked by the excitement written on her face.‎ D．He was afraid to be apart from her again.‎ ‎34．What’s Private Smith’s attitude towards the future life?‎ A．Skeptical. B．Confused. C．Hopeful. D．Concerned.‎ ‎35．Which of the following might be the best title for the text?‎ A．An Unexpected Visitor B．Husband and Wife C．The Return of a Private D．The Smiths 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。‎ Remarkable Ways to Push Yourself Harder Deep inside us, we know that hard work is the key to success. 36． Here are the rules that you can also apply to make yourself work really hard.‎ Practice working hard.‎ ‎37． Therefore, if you want to be a hard worker, you must practice working hard. Practice waking up early, practice doing a lot of work, and practice working more hours. One day you will wake up and realize that you are a hard worker.‎ ‎38．‎ Many hard workers always have a large purpose that forces them to work. Don’t just think of buying a car or a big house because this is not a purpose strong enough to push you forward. An example of a big purpose is deciding that you are working hard so that you bring change in the lives of your friends, family, and neighborhood. A strong purpose always involves bringing a large positive change in any particular setting.‎ Surround yourself with hard workers.‎ ‎39． But if you surround yourself with hardworking people, you will find yourself working hard towards your goal. Avoid friends who just want to have fun all the time. This type of friends will always discourage you when you attempt to work hard. Therefore, always surround yourself with go-getters.‎ Read and watch inspirational materials.‎ You can also push yourself harder through reading and watching inspirational material.‎ ‎40． These materials make you work hard because they remove discouragement and assure you that you will never fail if you push yourself to the limit.‎ A．Have a strong purpose.‎ B．Find a great goal to overcome your laziness.‎ C．Like other skills, one has to practice it to perfect it.‎ D．Inspirational material makes you believe in yourself.‎ E.However, we always find it difficult to push ourselves harder.‎ F.Motivational books and videos encourage you to work harder.‎ G.If you surround yourself with lazy people, you will also be lazy.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎ Life is like a box of chocolates, and you never know what you’re going to get.
