“Beauty isn't about having a pretty face,” begins a motivational quote.“It's about having a pretty mind,a pretty heart, and a pretty soul. Oh, and pretty nails!”

That may be Angela Peters' motto. Last July, Peters, rolled her wheelchair into a nail salon(美甲沙龙)at the Walmart shopping center in Burton to have her nails done. But Peters, who has cerebral palsy (脑瘫), was turned away. The salon told her that they were afraid it would be too difficult to properly paint her nails given that her hands kept shaking. What was meant to be a day of beauty for Peters was now a disappointment.

A Walmart cashier about to go on her break happened to see this. Ebony Harris recognized Peters as a Walmart regular.“She’s just like everyone else. She wants to look pretty. So why can't she?” Harris said.

Harris approached Peters.“Do you want me to do your nails?” she asked.

A smile spread across Peters’ face.“Yeah!”Harris led Peters into the supermarket, where they shopped for nail polish. They settled on a color that would catch every eye. They then made their way into a neighboring Subway, found a table for two, and started. Harris gently took Peters'hand into hers and carefully began painting her nails. “She moved her hands a little bit, and she kept saying she was sorry,” Harris said.“I told her,'Don't say that. You're fine.’ She makes me look at life and appreciate it much more than I have.”

Watching it all with surprise and admiration was Subway employee Tasia Smith. Smith was so taken by the scene that she wrote about it on Facebook.“She was so patient with her,”she wrote.“Thanks to the Walmart worker for making this beautiful girl's day!”

4. Why does the author mention the quote in the first paragraph?

A. To compare different views.                         B. To introduce the topic of the passage.

B. To show the importance of beauty.                D. To share his opinion about beauty.

5. The nail salon refused Peters' request because         .

A. she had to use a wheelchair                     B. they were too busy to serve her

C. she couldn't keep her hands still                  D. they hadn't the color she wanted

6. Which of the following words can best describe Harris?

A. Brave and generous.                        B. Careful and fair-minded.

C. Honest and considerate.                      D. Patient and warm-hearted.

7. What can be inferred about Tasia Smith from the last paragraph?

A. She thought highly of Harris'behavior.     B. She wrote a thank-you letter to Walmart.

C. She regretted not lending Peters a helping hand.   D. She misunderstood Harris'relationship with Peters.

C

With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation (孤独), more families are choosing to live together.

The doorway to peace and quiet, for Nick Bright at least, leads straight to his mother-in-law: she lives on the ground floor, while he lives upstairs with his wife and their two daughters.

Four years ago they all moved into a three-storey Victorian house in Bristol-one of a growing number of multigenerational families in the UK living together under the same roof. They share a front door and a washing machine, but Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room on the ground floor.

"We floated the idea to my mum of sharing a house," says Kathryn Whitehead. Rita cuts in: “We spoke more with Nick because I think it's a big thing for Nick to live with his mother-in-law."

And what does Nick think? "From my standpoint, it all seems to work very well. Would I recommend it? Yes, I think I would."

It's hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him, but research indicates that the numbers have been rising for some time. Official reports suggest that the number of households with three generations living together had risen from 325,000 in 2001 to 419,000 in 2013.

Other varieties of multigenerational family are more common. Some people live with their elderly parents; many more adult children are returning to the family home, if they ever left. It is said that about 20% of 25-34-year-olds live with their parents, compared with 16% in 1991. The total number of all multigenerational households in Britain is thought to be about 1.8 million.

Stories like that are more common in parts of the world, where multigenerational living is more firmly rooted. In India, particularly outside cities, young women are expected to move in with their husband's family when they get married.

8. Who mainly uses the ground floor in the Victorian house in Bristol?

A. Nick.     B. Rita.     C. Kathryn.      D. The daughters.

9. What is Nick's attitude towards sharing the house with his mother-in-law?

A. Positive.    B. Carefree.     C. Tolerant.     D. Unwilling.

10. What is the author's statement about multigenerational family based on?

A. Family traditions.      B. Financial reports.

C. Published statistics.     D. Public opinions.

11. What is the text mainly about?

A. Lifestyles in different countries.      B. Conflicts between generations.

C. A housing problem in Britain.        D. A rising trend of living in the UK.

A small group of paleontologists(古生物学家) recently discovered 10 species of ancient mammals previously unknown to science with the help of an enormous number of helpers at their dig site——ants.

The study of ancient mammals casts new light on the diversity of mammals that existed in North America around 33 million to 35 million years ago, when the climate was changing drastically.It also pays attention to the harvester ants(收割蚁), with which researchers have long had a love-hate relationship.“The ants are not fantastic when they’re biting you,” said Samantha Hopkins, a professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Oregon.“But I’ve got to appreciate them because they make my job a whole lot easier.”

Most species of harvester ants live in subterranean caves that sit beneath a small hill of dirt.They strengthen the dirt by covering it with bits of rock and other tough materials. The ants have been known to travel over a hundred feet from their caves and to dig six feet deep in pursuit of materials that help secure their caves. The materials include fossils(化石). Harvester ants can carry materials 10 times to 50 times the weight of their body, although they do not weigh very much, so the heaviest fossil they can collect weighs less than the average pill.

Given the size, harvester ant hills are hot spots for what scientists call microvertebrate(微型脊椎动物) fossils, which are animal fossils too small to see without a microscope. For over a century,scientists like Dr. Hopkins have found sediment(沉积物) off the sides of harvester ant hills in search of these fossils, making it easier to find large numbers of fossilized mammal teeth without spending hours in the field sifting through sand and dirt.

12. What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To compare two different species.             B. To provide evidence for discoveries.

C. To introduce a kind of ant as a helper.       D. To promote awareness of mammal protection.

13. Which aspect may influence the diversity of mammals in the past?

A. Climate change.        B. Ant numbers.        C. Cave materials.        D. Dirt locations.

14. What does the underlined word “subterranean” mean in paragraph 3?

A. Coastal.             B. Urban.           C. Mountainous.           D. Underground.

15. What can we learn about the harvester ants from the last two paragraphs?

A. Their caves are miles deep.               B. Materials with fossils are their food.

C. They can carry pills around.               D. Fossils may be found around their hills.

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

     The U.S. government's top education official wants schools to do a better job teaching students whose first language is not English.   16    That is because one in every ten U.S. students from kindergarten to 12th grade are English learners. Most English learners come from a country where they speak another language, or have parents from a non-English-speaking country.
       17    That's what the U.S. Educational Secretary John King said. He noted Spanish-speaking students are graduating from high school and attending college at higher rates than ever before. "But in too many places across the country, English learners get less access to good teachers, less access to good coursework, and less access to what they need to get success," King said.
     Two recent studies found English learners do better if they attend classes that use both English and the students' native language. Kelly Gonez is a policy adviser at the Department of Education. She said such programs are still not offered by most schools teaching English learners.   18    Gonez said some school districts are hiring teachers from Spain and China. They are trying to make up for a lack of teachers in the United States who can offer teaching in two languages.   19    In New York City, for example, the city's Department of Education says its students speak a total of 180 different languages. About sixty percent are Spanish speakers, and another 14 percent are Chinese speakers.
       20   But she said schools could get textbooks in many more languages than just Spanish and Chinese.
A. It is very important.
B. Many languages are spoken in the U.S.
C. There has been some progress in recent years.
D. Spanish-speaking students are good at studying.
E. But such programs are not always easy to set up.
F. Gonez said that it may be hard to find such teachers.
G. One problem is finding enough teachers who can do that.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

A light knock on the door brought me from my kitchen. Because we had just moved into the neighborhood, I couldn’t imagine who it would be. Opening the door, an old man stood there, who was dressed in dirty clothing and wearing dirty rubber boots. His hand hung a plastic bag.

“Can I help you?” I asked.

“Would you like to buy some fresh garden vegetables?” His blue eyes were hopeful.

“Are they from your garden?” I looked inside his plastic bag and saw some carrots with soil.

“Yes,” his voice was soft. “And I can get some apples from a tree in my yard. Would you like some of those, too?”

My heart softened, and I wondered if he was badly in need of money. With a sigh, I said, “Please step inside and I’ll get my money.”

The next day, he knocked at our door again. This time, my little four-year-old daughter got there first. “Oh, hello. Would you like to come in for some tea?” Without a second thought, the old man stepped inside and held out a broken basket with several apples. “From my tree,” he said, removing a worn cap. “You might like to make a pie.”

The three of us sat at the kitchen table and drank our tea. It was obvious that my daughter liked hosting a visitor in her never-ending questions. “What is your name? Where do you live? Why are your clothes so dirty?”

        The homeless-looking man laughed as he answered each question. His name was Mr. Locket and he lived around the corner. His wife had passed away several years ago, and his children all lived far away. He was lonely. His need for company had sent him door to door selling fruit and vegetables. Ours was the only door opened to him that day.

注意：1. 续写词数应为100左右； 2. 开头已给出。

Paragraph 1:

When he finished the tea, he said he had to go home and promised to return the next day.

Paragraph 2:

Several years later, a small envelope was delivered to our home—a letter from the old man’s daughter.

Paragraph 1:

When he finished the tea, he said he had to go home and promised to return the next day. My daughter excitedly waited for his next visit and made full preparations. As the old man visited us the next day, he was amazed by all of the preparations for him, including apple pies. His eyes were filled with tears. We became friends, and my daughter and I enjoyed the company the old visitor offered us. But before long, he had to move to live with his daughter and we hadn’t seen him ever since.

Paragraph 2:

Several years later, a small envelope was delivered to our home—a letter from the old man’s daughter. She informed us that our dear old friend had passed away and sent us another letter written by the old man, which said, “Thank you for all your kindnesses to an old man. When I was lonely, you took me in. When I was badly in need of a family, you accepted me. My last few years are filled with happiness because of you.”
