Los Angeles residents awoke on New Year's Day to find the 94-year-old sign on the side of Mount Lee had been changed overnight to read “Hollyweed”. ‎ Someone changed the sign overnight, Sgt. Guy Juneau of the Los Angeles Police Department's (LAPD's) Security Services division told the LA Times; the incident, which the LAPD called the work of a “thrill seeker”, will be investigated. The sign was changed around midnight, but the LAPD has no suspects. It has been changed a number of times over the years in different ways.‎ This time, the letters in the sign were changed by hanging tarps (油布) over the original two O's — similar to the way the sign was changed back on Jan. 1, 1976, when Danny Finegood, a Cal State Northridge student, covered the letters with curtains to announce the state's newly relaxed marijuana (大麻) laws. The art student, who changed the sign in 1976,‎ ‎ changed the sign a few other times before his death in 2007 for similar purposes.‎ According to his obituary (讣告) in the LA Times, Finegood also changed the sign to read “Holywood” for Easter in 1976; to “Ollywood” in 1987 during the Iran-Contra hearings in protest of then-Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North, who sold arms to Iran; and to “Oil War” in 1990 to protest the Persian Gulf War. “For a long time, he had this idea that if you just changed the two O's you could change the whole meaning of the sign,” his wife, Bonnie, said following his death. ‎ Finegood had long objected to considering his actions as “vandalism (故意破坏公共财物罪)”, arguing that he did not create lasting damage or lasting changes to the sign, and he changed his attitude when a security fence was later put in place.‎ ‎25. What do we learn about the incident mentioned in Paragraph 2?‎ A. It wasn't caused by someone alone.‎ B. The LAPD isn't that interested in it.‎ C. Who caused it still remains a mystery.‎ D. Why it happened is known to the police.[]‎ ‎26. Why did Finegood change the sign on Jan. 1, 1976?‎ A. To show his expectations of the police.‎ B. To make the new laws well-known.‎ C. To object to the designing.‎ D. To seek great excitement.‎ ‎27. What did Finegood's obituary in the LA Times say about him?‎ A. He supported the Persian Gulf War.‎ B. He made himself well-known as a thrill seeker.‎ C. He had changed the Hollywood sign four times.‎ D. He only changed the two O's in the Hollywood sign.‎ ‎28. What was Finegood's attitude at first when his actions were thought to be “vandalism”?‎ A. He was disapproving. ‎ B. He showed no interest.‎ C. He considered it acceptable.‎ D. He felt sorry about his actions.‎ ‎ C As a published author, people often ask me why I don't self-publish. “Surely you'd make more money if you got to keep most of the profits rather than the publisher,” they say. But that's the last thing in the world that I want to do.‎ To get a book published in the traditional way, and for people to actually respect it and want to read it — you have to go through the gatekeepers of agents, publishers, editors, national and international reviewers. These gatekeepers are assessing whether or not your work is good. Readers expect books to have passed through all the gates, to be vetted (审查) by professionals. This system doesn't always work out perfectly, but it's the best system we have.‎ Good writers only become good because they've done a lot of practice. The craft of writing is a life's work. It takes at least a decade to become a respectable writer, tens of thousands of hours. Your favorite authors might have spent years writing works that were rejected. But if a writer is serious about his or her craft, he or she will keep working at it year after year. At the end of his or her self-imposed (自己强加的) practice, he or she will realize that his or her first works were rejected because only now can he or she see how bad they were.‎ Did you ever hear what Margaret Atwood said at a party to a brain ‎ surgeon? When the brain surgeon found out what she did for a living, he said, “Oh, you're a writer! When I retire, I'm going to write a book.” Margaret Atwood said, “Great! When I retire, I'm going to be a brain surgeon!” The irony (反语) is that now a brain surgeon really could dash off a “book” in a couple months, he could click “publish” on Amazon, and then he could be off signing books at the bookstore. ‎ The problem with self-publishing is that it requires zero gatekeepers. From what I've seen of it, self-publishing is an insult (侮辱) to the written word, the craft of writing, and the tradition of literature. As an editor, I'm strongly against trying to edit the very worst writing that people plan on self-publishing just because they can.‎ ‎29. What does the author mainly want to show in Paragraph 2?‎ A. Having a book published is not so challenging.‎ B. It's not necessary to assess a book in various ways.‎ C. People have a good reason to self-publish their books.‎ D. Publishing books in the traditional way means good books.‎ ‎30. What did Margaret Atwood's words mean in Paragraph 4?‎ A. She really admired the brain surgeon's work.‎ B. People always wanted what they didn't have.‎ C. The brain surgeon could self-publish his book.‎ D. Writing was not so easy as the brain surgeon thought.‎ ‎31. What does the author think is the problem with self-publishing? ‎ A. It doesn't really bring in profits.‎ B. It puts many people out of work. ‎ C. It leads to many poorly written books.‎ D. It replaces traditionally published books.‎ ‎ D The seed for HandUp, a crowd-funding site that collects donations to help the homeless, was planted in early 2012 when Rose Broome, co-founder and CEO of HandUp, passed a shivery (哆嗦的) woman in San Francisco. “On a cold night, I was walking down the street and saw a woman sleeping on the sidewalk,” recalls Broome. “She didn't have a jacket; she didn't have a sweater — just a thin blanket protecting her from the cold ground.” That night, Broome says, “I decided to make a difference, and that one thing turned into HandUp.”‎ The platform for HandUp allows those battling homelessness to appeal directly to donors to fund their particular needs. By telling their stories on the site, those in need can fundraise for housing assistance and for food, education, medical care, etc. “Having a phone, the Internet, the ability to text is extremely important for everyone, especially for the most vulnerable (脆弱的) people,” says Broome.‎ Nationwide, 3.5 million people struggle with homelessness every year, and 50 million people live below the poverty line. But there's a misconception about what being homeless looks like, Broome says, pointing out that the image of a person sleeping on the street, or wrestling with mental health issues tends to catch the public's imagination. In reality, however, 30% of the homeless are part of families.‎ HandUp works by partnering with organizations that serve homeless populations. When donors give, the money goes to the organization, which will pay for the items requested. HandUp also helps homeless people create donation request cards, which they can hand out to people they meet on the street, and these cards can be used for goods at HandUp's non-profit partners.‎ ‎“On HandUp, you can read the stories of people who need help with ‎ very specific goals,” says Broome. “As soon as people read the human story through our platform, it's harder to have the same stereotypes (刻板印象).” When donors give on HandUp, they can also post words of encouragement. People who receive money often say those kind words mean more than the donation, Broome adds. ‎ ‎32. What is the first paragraph intended to show?‎ A. The start-up of HandUp.‎ B. The life of the homeless.‎ C. The popularity of a website.‎ D. The experience of Rose Broome.‎ ‎33. Why do the most vulnerable people especially need a phone, the Internet, and the ability to text?‎ A. To ask for help in case of danger.‎ B. To collect donations on their own.‎ C. To share their personal issues online.‎ D. To keep in contact with their relatives.‎ ‎34. What is suggested in the third paragraph?‎ A. The need for funding is great. ‎ B. Homeless people are worth helping.‎ C. Homeless people are easy to identify.‎ D. No one can solve financial problems alone.‎ ‎35. In order to assist homeless people, HandUp focuses on _____.‎ A. providing proper jobs for them B. building temporary shelters for them C. forming more non-profit organizations D. creating connections between them and donors 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。 ‎ Your car's hidden “black box”‎ Most commercial airplanes have an indestructible (不可摧毁的) flight recorder, also called a “black box” — even though the casing (外壳) is actually bright orange. 36 One records information from the flight computers, and the other records sounds inside the plane. In the event of a crash, investigators can recover the black boxes and find out exactly what happened. Cars can have black boxes, too.‎ A bit of history ‎ Black boxes in cars aren't a new idea. The practice started in 1994. 37 Since the early 2000s, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has been collecting black box information to get a better picture of the circumstances surrounding car accidents. 38 As of Sept. 1, 2014, every new vehicle must have one installed (安装).‎ Black box data has been used in a few investigations. In 2011, Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray destroyed a government car. 39 Investigators used his black box data to show he was driving 100 mph without a seat belt at the time of the crash. 40 ‎ While the first-generation event data recorders did little more than track whether or not the car's airbags deployed (有效使用), recording and sensor technologies have become much more powerful. The NHTSA has commanded that every new recorder must track 15 variables (可变情况). The information includes vehicle speed, airbag deployment times, whether the brakes were applied and more. And a black box only stores information for 20 seconds around the crash. ‎ A. What do black boxes record? ‎ B. Actually, there are two of them.‎ C. Can you keep your data private?‎ D. He said he was driving the speed limit and wearing a seat belt.‎ E. Getting your hands on black box data requires professional training.‎ F. In 2013, 96% of every new car sold in the US came with a black box.‎ G. The black boxes were meant to help manufacturers learn how their cars performed in crashes.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（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四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Chris Marlow, a minister and father of two, would say that his life prior to 2009 was good but ordinary.

When he desperately returned to his field, all his crops had died. As the English proverb says: no pains, no gains. That's what the story conveys.‎ ‎ ‎
