The pollution-sensitive EPA Dress by Stephanie Sandstrom notices pollution in the air accordingly. This dress—which is actually quite pretty—looks like you pull it from the bottom of the dirty laundry pile when the air is dirty. It might protect your health by advising you to stay indoors for the day, but it won’t do you any favor if you’re meeting with clients. ‎ Eco-friendly Umbrella Traditional umbrellas come with a fixed surface. Although it is changeable, you cannot replace it easily. This eco-friendly design is more flexible. It is actually only an umbrella skeleton(骨架) without any surface, which can be folded, so you can put anything such as newspapers, plastic bags or whatever you want to serve as the protecting surface.‎ Eco-friendly Moss (苔藓) Carpet It is said that walking on fresh grass increases your blood circulation. The Moss Carpet, created by Nguyen La Chanh, looks at getting the grass to your feet. The mat includes ball moss, island moss and forest moss. The humidity (湿度) of the bathroom ensures that it grows well. And that’s why you need to place it there and not anywhere else. ‎ ‎21. Why is EPA Dress designed?‎ A. To advise people to stay at home as often as possible B. To stop people from meeting their clients if necessary.‎ C. To make women look pretty even in the polluted air.‎ D.

An official document B ‎ Mary Krupa became friends with the grey squirrels during her first week at Penn State, after sporting them running around and idly(漫不经地)wondering what they would look like with tiny hats on their heads. Today, everyone at the university knows her as the “Squirrel Girl”.‎ ‎ Mary started bringing them food, and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift up their spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive, and before long Mary and her squirrels became an Internet hit.‎ Growing up in a neighborhood outside State College, Mary was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn’t interact with people very much. She was later diagnosed with Asperser’s syndrome, but the squirrels changed that. “The squirrels are actually a good way to break the ice, because I’ll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and we’ll just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them,” she said. ”I am a lot more outgoing.”‎ And in case you’re wondering how Mary is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop (道具), and they’ll grab it. But getting to that part took a while. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the ‎ squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though.‎ This year, Mary is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences. She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment. As for her furry friends, Mary plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.‎ ‎24. What kind of change do squirrels bring to Mary?‎ ‎      A. She is sicker than before.                     B. She is more interested in animals.‎ ‎      C. She is more sociable than before.            D. She is less willing to go to college.‎ ‎25. How did Mary manage to take photos of squirrels wearing hats?‎ ‎      A. By putting them in cages.                     B. By playing music to them.‎ ‎      C. By attracting them with colorful food.    D. By building a close relationship with them.‎ ‎26. Which words can best describe Mary?‎ ‎      A. Patient and caring.                                 B. Confident and strong.  ‎ ‎      C. Sociable and healthy.                             D. Traditional and hard-working.‎ ‎27. What can be the best title for the next?‎ ‎ A. Mary’s experience in university B. Making friends with wild animals ‎ C. The “Squirrel Girl” of Penn‎ ‎State D. The bridge between Mary and squirrels C ‎ What are the biggest problems that society will have to deal with in the new age? There are diseases like AIDS and cancer. There’s climate change, of course. And what about producing enough cheap food and energy for the world’s growing population? Who’s going to solve all these terrible problems? Yes, politicians and world leaders will have a big part to play. Yes, businesses will need to create the economic wealth to pay for some of these things. But who’s going to make a much greater difference to something like AIDS or climate change It’s going to be a scientist. It is the scientist who can turn some new bit of science into a new technology to solve these problems.‎ If you like thinking about the world around you, why not become a scientist? It doesn’t mean you have to wear a white coat and plastic glasses and spend all your time in a lab as most people often imagine! Scientists do all kinds of a amazing things that are actually interesting!‎ Military scientists develop not only new weapons but new military technologies that could ‎ help make wars out of date. Forensic(法医的) scientists work with the police to find quite small clues to catch criminals. Scientists work in schools and colleges as the teachers and professors who will train tomorrow’s scientists. Don’t think a scientist is far away! Maybe you like cooking? You could be a food technologist helping to keep fruit and vegetables fresher for longer. Perhaps sport is your thing? Do you know that most top athletes work with sports scientists in order to improve their performance? You could even be the science writer who gets to spend the life studying the latest advances and sharing them with the world.‎ Looking for something to do for the rest of your life? My advice? Take a long and hard look at science. It is interesting and ever.‎ ‎28. Many problems are mentioned in the first paragraph to ________.‎ A. suggest they are impossible to be solved ‎ B. introduce the causes of these problems C. show the writer’s worry about the future world D. show scientists play an important part in solving them ‎29.

Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether. Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed ‎ drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic condition. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it. However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies (奶奶). An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart. 32. According to the passage, trouble on the road are often caused by ____________.‎ ‎ A. road conditions B. the speed of modern life ‎ C. the large number of car D. the behavior of the drivers ‎33. In the writer’s opinion, ___________.‎ ‎ A. drivers should show road politeness properly ‎ B. strict traffic rules are badly needed ‎ C. unskillful drivers should be punished ‎ D. drivers should avoid traffic jams ‎34. The underlined word “give-and-take” in the passage means __________.‎ ‎ A. politeness and impoliteness B. willingness to give in to each other’s wishes ‎ C. offering help to others as much as possible D. good manners and bad manners ‎35. What is the best title of the passage?‎ ‎ A. Road Politeness B. Traffic Problems ‎ C. Bad Manners on the Road D. Good Drivers and Bad Driver 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。‎ ‎ Social media and the mobile web have given rise to a strange phenomenon called the selfie(自拍). It refers to a picture of yourself, usually shared on any social networking website.‎ ‎ ____36 Some selfies are extreme close-ups(特写镜头), and others show part of an arm held straight outward. A few of them even feature the subject standing in front of a bathroom mirror.‎ ‎ Everyone takes selfies, but the younger crowd seems to be especially involved in the trend. Young people are relatively heavier digital users. They are interested in staying connected to their friends. 37 .‎ ‎ There are also kinds of psychological (心理上的)actors driving people to take a selife and upload it to a social networking site. 38 . A quick and easy way to attract other’s attention is to get “likes” and comments from friends. Secondly, it’s human nature to show off your own great achievements. When you feel good about yourself or look good, it’s far too easy to take out your phone and document it all through one or several selfies. 39 That’s right. Sometimes people are bored at work, bored at school, bored at home and even bored on the toilet. Last but not least, social media is about being social. If that means uploading as many selfies as possible, then so it be. It’s fun, and it’s a cool way to sort of document your own life.‎ ‎ Finally, there are things to be mindful of when you’re posting. It’s easy to think you’re sharing a photo with a few people. 40 So don’t post anything online, selife especially.‎ A. There are lots of selfie styles.‎ B. The rise of selfies has become universal.‎ C. Social media, to some extent, is the driving force of their selife activity.‎ D. The desire to take, post and get “likes” on selfies goes back to a biological behavior.‎ E. But the whole world of social media is public and every individual can get access to it.‎ F. There are also people who will take selfies because they have nothing else better to do G. The leading factor is that people want to get attention from as many people as possible.‎ 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ Life is a series of choices and we can’t always foresee the consequences.
