She has raised five children and then had a career as a secretary until she retired at age 77. But even then, she was not ready to take it easy and rest. She said she decided to major in sociology because she felt it was very important.‎ Fein grew up in the Bronx area of New York City. She just wanted to get a job in high school. After graduating at the age of 16, she went to work as a secretary. After getting married, she spent 18 years staying home with her children. She held several jobs throughout her life,including 20 years as a secretary at a hospital. She also worked for 20 years on earning an associate degree. But Fein also wanted to earn a bachelor's degree “with all of my heart”。Even with all of her life experiences, she still enjoyed reading,writing papers and learning new things.‎ Health experts say continuing with education later in life is one way to keep fit. Carmel Dyer, director of the UTHealth Consortium on Aging at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston,says keeping active and giving yourself something to look forward to “is just a really positive move”。‎ 12‎ Fein kept going to class even as her health conditions worsened. During her studies,it became necessary for her to use a walker to get around and she required oxygen. She also developed knee problems. Therefore, Fein took online classes to finish the last part of her degree requirements. Her college advisor Sheila Rollerson said Fein never showed signs of giving up even with all of her difficulties. “She just kept plugging along," Rollerson said.‎ ‎24. What was Janet Fein's last work before she retired?‎ A. A teacher.‎ B.A secretary.‎ C. A nurse.‎ D.A doctor.‎ ‎25. What did Janet Fein want to do most after earning an associate degree?‎ A. Get a bachelor's degree.‎ B.Keep fit by exercises.‎ C.Read all kinds of books.‎ D. Find a job at the hospital.‎ ‎26.What can be inferred from paragraph 3?‎ A. Life should be full of adventures.‎ B.People should have their own views.‎ C.Further study benefits the old's health.‎ D. Healthy lifestyle is just to keep active.‎ ‎27.What do you think of Janet Fein?‎ A. Honest.‎ B.Determined.‎ C.Generous.‎ D.Kind.‎ C Many of the world's largest brewers(啤酒商） are using new technologies to replace single-use,plastic six-pack beer rings with more sustainable materials. Though mostly being used in small test trials, full adoption could have a positive environmental impact. Carlsberg, for example, is using glue to adhere cans in a production method that the Danish brewer says would avoid using 1,200 tons of plastic yearly, or the equal of 60 million plastic bags,once fully adopted.‎ Brewers have zeroed in on plastic six-pack-ring packaging partly because most consumers can recall the miserable image of a seagull, turtle, or some other aquatic(水生的）creature ‎ 12‎ trapped or killed by the plastic rings. The packaging is so deep-rooted in our culture that many children were taught to cut up the rings to lessen the chance that an animal might choke itself to death.‎ The rings developed by E6PR(Edible Six Pack Ring) programme, which is led by another brewery called Saltwater, are now used by 35 brewers across the globe, including in Africa,Europe,and Australia. These rings are made of waste wheat in beer production. The final goal is to ensure that the rings can be eaten harmlessly by aquatic creatures or break down in nature within a matter of weeks rather than the years it would take for plastic. ‎ Giving up plastic straws and beer rings may help consumers feel better about their carbon footprint,but some experts say we should focus on other efforts. Recycling rates in the U. S. stand at just over 34%. Glass, in which many brewers bottle their beer, can be difficult to recycle and large to transport. If brewers were to focus on using thinner glass, some experts say, the improvement could prove even more beneficial to. the environment than giving up plastic rings.‎ There's also the risk that if consumers think their E6PR rings are less harmful, they'll be more likely to litter. “The idea of creating something that's litter-friendly is an issue in my mind,"says Nina Goodrich, executive director of environmental nonprofit GreenBlue. “What we need in North America is a better system to encourage collection and sorting.”‎ ‎28. What does the underlined word “adhere” in paragraph 1 mean?‎ A.Collect. B.Stick.C. Open. D.Reuse.‎ ‎29. Why were children taught to cut up the plastic rings?‎ A.To collect the rings for recycling.‎ B.To make the rings break down more easily.‎ C.To prevent the rings harming aquatic animals.‎ D.To increase children's awareness of loving nature.‎ ‎30. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 4?‎ A. Low recycling rates in the U.S.‎ B.Benefits of giving up plastic beer rings.‎ C.Difficulty in transporting beer glass bottles.‎ D. Another way to protect the environment.‎ ‎31. What's the risk of the E6PR rings?‎ A. They will be thrown away more casually.‎ B. They will not be accepted by consumers.‎ C. They will be more difficult to recycle.‎ D. They will be still made of plastic.‎ D 12‎ Astronauts on the International Space Station will soon test a new oven for making chocolate chip cookies. A spaceship carrying the cooking equipment and other supplies was launched on Saturday from the Wallops Flight Facility in the United States.The shipment,weighing 3,700 kilograms,reached the space station on Monday. The goal is to explore the possibility of making freshly baked cookies for space travelers.‎ American company Nanoracks designed and built the oven and helped with organizing the flight to the space station. Hilton DoubleTree hotels supplied the cookie dough(生面团）the astronauts will use.‎ In the past,space station crews have created their own pizzas using a thin,flat piece of bread known as flatbread. Astronauts have tried other creative ways to make food, such as creating salads from vegetables grown in the space station. Results have been mixed.‎ The cookie baking will be a slow process. The oven can heat just one cookie at a time. The test could take weeks before the astronauts have chance to try out freshly baked cookies. ‎ Five unbaked cookies have been in a space station freezer for several weeks. Each is in its own individual clear bag made out of silicone. The oven can heat foods to temperatures as high as 177 degrees Celsius. That is twice the temperature of the U.S. and Russian food warmers on the space station. The oven uses electric heating elements.‎ Mary Murphy is with Nanoracks. Murphy says she expects a baking time of 15 to 20 minutes for each cookie when the oven is heated to about 163 degrees Celsius. She adds that the smell of baking cookies should fill the space station each time a cookie comes out of the oven.‎ The oven's first use will be the real test. Without the force of gravity,the astronauts do not know exactly how the cookie will look. Three of the space-baked cookies are to be returned to Earth for testing.‎ ‎32. Which of the following can best describe the new oven test?‎ A.Time-consuming.‎ B.Energy-saving.‎ C.Meaningless.‎ D.Successful.‎ ‎33.What's the advantage of the new oven over the Russian food warmer?‎ A. It heats up much faster.‎ B. It's more convenient to use.‎ C. It has a larger cooking space.‎ D. It can heat up to a higher temperature.‎ ‎34. What will make the cookie's appearance in the new oven uncertain?‎ A. The baking time.‎ B. The heating method.‎ 12‎ C.The absence of gravity.‎ D. The speed of temperature rise.‎ ‎35. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Cooking Equipment in Space Station B.Cookies Coming from the International Space Station C.Creative Ways Astronauts Make Food in Space Station D.A New Oven to Be Tested to Make Cookies in Space Station 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。‎ The Tricks to Conquer the Worst Day of Your Life We have all had bad days, and some days feel like the world is upon our shoulders and we just can't bear the weight of it any longer. 36 Consider these tricks when surviving the worst day of your life.‎ Bless or reflect.‎ When you have the worst day of your life, turning to blessing or reflection can conquer any bad mood. 37 Others like to spend time writing in journals to express their feelings.
