The retired railroad manager saw the importance of safely riding for children, so he began repairing bicycles on street corners.‎ Over time, more and more people came to have their bicycles repaired. Mr. Willard opened his first shop in 2007 and three years later he founded his own company Recycle Bicycle Harrisburg. The all-volunteer nonprofit organization has been offering service for residents in the community. Regular visitors include children and their parents, as well as halfway house residents seeking to perform community service hours while also building their own bikes.‎ The organization has a do-it-yourself philosophy: Although there is no charge for any repairs, or even bicycles, most visitors(except young children)are tasked with making their own repairs with the assistance of volunteer trainers. Since its founding, Recycle Bicycle has distributed thousands of donated bikes to the Harrisburg community -averaging about 900 per year in the past decade. He’s known as “Mr. Bicycle,” around the Pennsylvania capital. He estimates that the organization repairs some 3,000 bikes a year.‎ Sitting in the organization’s shop space, he discusses the volunteerism and sense of service that were imprinted on him as a child by his parents. This led to a strong belief about fixing problems that one finds in the community.‎ ‎24. Why did Willard begin repairing bicycles on street corners?‎ A. He felt bored with the food program. B. He decided to set up his own business.‎ C. He needed to make some extra money. D. He wanted to ensure the safety of cyclists.‎ ‎25. What does “do-it-yourself philosophy” aim at?‎ A. Visitors. B. Volunteer trainers. C. Shoppers. D. Young children.‎ ‎26. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “imprinted”?‎ A. depended. B. realized. C. ignored. D. impressed.‎ ‎27. What is the main idea of the text?‎ A. How to repair a bicycle.‎ B. Community needs bicycle repair service.‎ C. The organization offers service for the community.‎ D. Repairing a bicycle yourself can save time and money.‎ C As levels of carbon dioxide — CO2 — in the atmosphere have been rising in recent decades, Earth has been warming. That’s because as a greenhouse gas, CO2 traps heat in Earth’s atmosphere. That warming is one symptom of climate change. And it has the potential to affect food in many ways. Data now show that rising levels of CO2 also can affect how nutritious a crop will be. Some of those data were reported last year in Annual Review of Public Health. Indeed, it noted that several studies have come to this conclusion.‎ Samuel Myers is an environmental health scientist at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. He was part of a team that has studied the potential effects of climate change on nutrition. In one 2014 study, his group looked at six major food crops: wheat, rice, field peas, soybeans, maize(corn)and sorghum. They exposed plants to different amounts of CO2. Some got levels of between 363 and 386 parts per million (ppm), which were typical at that time. (CO2 levels have since risen.)Other plants were exposed to more of that greenhouse gas as they grew — 546 to 586 ppm. Such levels are expected to develop within the next 50 years or so.‎ After harvesting the plants, the researchers measured their levels of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. And plants grown with more CO2 were less nutritious. Most people depend on cereal crops, such as wheat and rice, to meet their dietary needs for both zinc and iron. If crop levels of such nutrients fall, people may face an even greater risk of falling ill.‎ Scientists don’t yet know why CO2 impacts levels of these nutrients. But the new findings suggest scientists may want to try breeding new varieties of crops that are less affected by CO2. That way people will still get the most benefits from their greens and grains.‎ ‎28. What can be the best title of the passage?‎ A. The rising CO2 levels. B. Climate change affecting nutrition of crops.‎ C. Effects of a greenhouse gas on the environment. D. New varieties of crops.‎ ‎29. How did researchers come to the conclusion?‎ A. By experimenting and measuring. B. By referring to books.‎ C. By imagination. D. By turning to farmers for help.‎ ‎30. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?‎ A. Scientists don’t yet know why CO2 impacts levels of these nutrients.‎ B. CO2 levels are expected to rise to 546 to 586 ppm within the next 50 years or so.‎ C. The Earth has been warming because CO2 traps heat in the atmosphere.‎ D. Global warming affects food only in one way.‎ ‎31. What’s the author’s attitude towards crops in the future?‎ A. Indifferent. B. Doubtful. C. Negative. D. Positive.‎ D We’ve all been told to dress warmly or we’ll catch cold. But science says the common cold is caused by the virus, not the weather. Actually, according to researchers at Yale University, there just might be something to this old wives’ tale.‎ For decades, researchers have known that the virus replicates(复制)more readily in cooler environments, such as the nose, rather than at the warmer core body temperature. The reason for this, explains Ellen Foxman, an assistant professor at Yale University School of Medicine, long remained a mystery. Scientists didn’t know whether the virus itself worked better at colder temperatures, or the immune system worked worse. “No one could find anything,” she says. Then Foxman and her colleagues studied what’s called the born immune system, which is present in every cell, and how it responds to various temperatures when the virus is present. In the lab, they examined airway cells from mice and found that the immune system produced fewer chemical substances called interferons at lower temperatures, allowing the cold virus to flourish.‎ In a study published this year, they found supporting results in human cells: At the warmer core body temperature, born immune systems that block viral growth are more active, and can stop and kill viruses. Now the team is trying to better understand the defenses the body uses to prevent the virus.‎ While wearing a scarf around your nose to warm it up might help prevent a cold, Foxman recommends washing your hands so you don’t pass the virus to your eyes, nose, or mouth in the first place. “If the virus isn’t in your nose, it can’t cause infection,” she says.‎ ‎32. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean?‎ A. Listen to the elders. B. The tale makes sense.‎ C. The tale is interesting. D. The research is useless.‎ ‎33. What did the Foxman team find?‎ A. The virus increased in warmer environments.‎ B. The mice was more active in warmer conditions.‎ C. The immune system produced more antivirus in warm air.‎ D. A chemical in the immune system can stop and kill virus.‎ ‎34. What does the Foxman team suggest to prevent the cold?‎ A. Wearing a scarf. B. Dressing warmly.‎ C. Washing the hands. D. Stay warm in winter.‎ ‎35. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Cold weather causes cold. B. Tips on protecting immune system.‎ C. Cold impact the body’s immune system. D. Many viruses can cause the common cold.‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。‎ New Year’s is when many people feel motivated to make a savings or financial plan. For those who want to increase the chance of success, 36 ‎ Set goals in January(or on your birthday).‎ Academic research shows both New Year’s Day and birthdays are good times to start change. Because both mark a new start, they help us “wipe the slate clean,” said Katherine Milkman. “We explain that it was ‘the old me’ who failed, but this year will be different”. 37 ‎ Set specific, realistic goals.‎ People often set themselves up for failure by choosing goals that are too vague or extreme — for example, to “save more”. If a goal requires you to remove things you enjoy, you may feel depressed and lose the ability to stick to it. 38 For example, “I will increase my savings rate from 5% to 15% in the next five years.”‎ ‎ 39 ‎ The next step is to break your goal down into smaller steps and solve one at a time. “Nobody tries to run a marathon on the first day,” said Mr. Egan. “You need a plan to get there.”‎ Use the behavioral strategies that work for you.‎ Individuals need to automate their savings. 40 “There will be setbacks. They are part of the journey,” said Mr. Egan. “Give yourself credit for success even if there is some difficulty.”‎ A. Run a marathon.‎ B. Make a detailed plan.‎ C. This boosts self-confidence, a key to success.‎ D. the following are some strategies to consider.‎ E. They also need to learn to be patient with themselves.‎ F. This involves saving separately for different goals.‎ G. The key is to make your goals as specific and realistic as possible.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分55分)‎ 第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ When I entered the 9th grade, I fell in love with college, wanting to pursue art for the rest of my life.

You will certainly enjoy yourself. ‎ Looking forward to your reply. ‎ Yours，‎ Li Hua ‎ 录音原稿 Text 1‎ W ： Could you walk the dog when you get home this afternoon?‎ M ： Sure, but I’m going to the gym after work so I’ll be home a bit later than usual.‎ Text 2‎ W: Isn’ t your older brother Victor a photographer?‎ M：No, you’re thinking of Stan, my younger brother. Victor used to work as a chef, but now he’s a teacher.‎ Text 3‎ M： Hello.‎ W： Hi, this is Kate. Can I just talk to you about our plans for the Summer Conference? I said that I was going to be away for the opening meeting and couldn’ t give you a hand, but it seems I will actually be around, so what would you like me to do?‎ Text 4‎ M ： If you’re hungry，there will be someone along in a minute with a cart serving drinks and sandwiches. It’s not necessary to go to the dining car.‎ W： Oh, a bit like an airplane. So, I can just sit here and enjoy the view. I tell you it beats driving.‎ Text 5‎ W: How was your weekend, Steve?‎ M ：Not bad! I took the children to the beach on Saturday.‎ W ：All four of them?‎ M： No, actually. My wife stayed at home with the baby.‎ Text 6‎ M： Shall we go to the cinema, then?‎ W： I don’t think there’s much on this week. How about going bowling?‎ M： I’ve never really taken to it. And it’s not so cheap, either.‎ W ：OK then，how about getting the bus into town, each of us doing whatever we want there，then meeting up again at the bus station?‎ M: That makes sense. Though I have to be back here by ten because I’ m going out on a field trip first thing in the morning.‎ W: So am I. But I’d rather stay 30 minutes longer than that.‎ Text 7‎ W: Come on, we’ re going to be late for school. What are you reading?‎ M :Oh, it’s one of dad’s business magazines. Have you seen the plan for this Freedom Ship?‎ W:No, what is it?‎ M: Well，it’s just a concept at the moment, but they’re planning to build a huge ship that looks like a floating tower block，with an airport on top.‎ W：That sounds a bit unstable if you ask me. Let’ s have a look. Oh，that’s amazing! It looks like a multi-storey car park. Are they really going to build it?‎ M：Only if it can be profitable, so if you ask me, I’d be surprised. They need billions of dollars to even start，so it may never happen.‎ Text 8‎ W：Right，what’s next?‎ M：What about this box of toys?

I also book the venue and the photographer.‎ M：So do people ask you to organize their weddings to save money?‎ W: Well，I reduce some of the costs，but they have to pay my fee so it works out about the same. In most cases，they’ re simply too busy to do it without assistance.‎ M：Tell me，what made you want to become a wedding planner?‎ W：In my case, it was after I’d been doing some voluntary work for a non-profit organization. Others come into wedding planning through different routes, such as restaurant management or providing meals for open-air events.‎ M：So how could someone find work in this type of business?‎ W: Well, some companies offer courses, or you can provide written references from past clients. But in my case, people were impressed by shots of beautiful weddings planned and run by me.‎ M：Thank you, Amelia.‎ Text 10‎ Hi, everyone. I know most of you are thinking about getting involved in the exchange program to France. As I’ ve been on an exchange, I could talk a bit about what my experience was like.‎ Well, I’m studying French, so our class was invited to exchange with a class in France. This was last May, which was a great time to go because the weather was amazing. But November will also be interesting for you，as it’s coming up to Christmas! The process starts with your application. Then you get matched with a particular student. I was matched up with a student called Jean-Paul and I went to stay with him in May. I couldn’t believe how long the school day was in France. They start at 8: 30 and go on to 5:00! Mind you，they do have a two-hour lunch break—unlike here in England! Another thing was that at school it was the teachers who changed rooms for different subjects一not the students. I got on very well with Jean-Paul’s family and they took me to different places, so I learnt a lot about the culture. I think that' s the most important thing about going on an exchange.
