On Feb. 23, an environmental advocacy group “Grassroots” led by students hosted its monthly clothing exchange. The clothing exchange is a free activity on campus where students can donate clothes in exchange for new ones.
“One of the key things about sustainability (可持续性) is to reuse,” Crystal Tynon, Co-president and Clothing Exchange Chair, said. “Instead of throwing away old clothes and buying new clothes, you can donate them and give them a new purpose. You might be done with those clothing items, but someone else might not be.”
According to Tynon, “Grassroots” is hoping to expand the activities to other schools. In order to do so, the team is brainstorming new ways to get the word out about donations, hours and events. Now, the clothing exchange is one of the club’s most well-known activities. “Throughout the semester when people realize we have these exchanges, they genuinely bring clothes and participate a lot more. So it does make a difference to clothing sustainability and it does create a community where everyone can share their clothes,” she added.
As “Grassroots” is an initiative dedicated to sustainability, paper advertisement is not an option. Instead, the center relies mostly on word-of-mouth and e-mail announcements. It is bringing speakers to campus to talk about sustainability and environmental advocacy. It also has partnerships with local organizations such as “the Sunrise Rochester”, working together to have volunteers become more involved in local sustainability.
Chloe Mendoza has been a volunteer since her freshman year. Not only does Mendoza appreciate the intended mission of promoting sustainability, but she also thinks the center has transformed into a safe and accepting community space for all students. Those who have come in looking for something practical often end up leaving with an armful of clothing and a heart full
of warmth.
“My favorite part about working there is that we get to help people find things that they need for free. Just providing a place for students to go where there isn’t pressure to spend money is really important. A lot of students love saving, so it’s something that students can relate and engage with easily, so I think it’s a really easy way to get students more involved in sustainability,” says Mendoza.

24. Which of the following best describes Tynon’s feelings about their clothing exchange?
A. Impressive. B. Innovative. C. Demanding. D. Rewarding.
25. What can we learn about “Grassroots”?
A. It relies heavily on paper advertisements.
B. It cooperates with local institutions.
C. It invites speakers to be volunteers.
D. It earns instant fame in the community.
26. What does Mendoza think is an additional benefit of the clothing exchange?
A. It brings spiritual comfort. B. It widens the circle of friends.
C. It reduces academic pressure. D. It gives a sense of achievement.
27. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. Saving Up Through Clothing Exchange
B. Engaging Students in “Grassroots” Events
C. Clothing Exchange Is the Only Way for Sustainability
D. Environmental Advocacy — “Grassroots” Catches On
C
These days, Fred’s huge skeleton (骨架) was exhibited in the Indiana State Museum. His tusks (长牙) were recently the subject of a research study tracing the life 13,000 years ago of mastodons, distant relatives of modern elephants.
By analyzing the chemicals in Fred’s tusks, a team of researchers was able to construct a detailed account of his seasonal migration patterns. Josh Miller, a paleoecologist (古生态学家) at the University of Cincinnati, is one of the researchers studying Fred. “He has beautifully preserved bones and tusks, which provides a great opportunity for our research,” Miller said.
Mastodons’ tusks generally grow in distinct layers, similar to the tree rings. As a result, the nutrients that build the layers of their tusks can tell us a lot about what they experienced. The team particularly focused their analysis on the variations in two elements in the layers: strontium (锶) and oxygen. The former is the key to understanding where Fred spent his life, while the latter tells us the season he was in in any particular region. Then, with some statistical modeling, Miller and his team gained insight into the daily record of Fred’s behavior over ten thousand years ago.
The result indicated that when Fred was young, he would have grown a lot. But there’s a year when his growth is reduced — that’s when Miller’s analysis starts. “Probably like the modern male elephant, a male mastodon is just really obnoxious when growing up to be a bother and often arouses family members’ anger. At that point, the mom and aunts will essentially kick him out of the family”, Miller predicted.
After Fred set off to attend to himself, his tusks reflected where he traveled around. Based on analysis, every summer, Fred would return to mate in Northeastern Indiana, because around this time, his tusks started to show signs of injuries. When competing for mates, mastodons got into huge battles with their own natural weapons, sharp tusks. And that was exactly what brought the story of Fred to an untimely end.

28. What does Miller’s study mainly focus on?
A. Inner structure of Fred’s skeleton.
B. Possible tracks of Fred’s migration.
C. Research value of mastodon fossils.
D. Effective ways of tusk preservation.
29. How did researchers learn a mastodon’s behavior in ancient age?
A. By modeling data of special chemical elements.
B. By comparing his layers of tusks with rings of trees.
C. By conducting field research in various regions.
D. By reviewing statistical records of previous studies.
30. What does the underlined word “obnoxious” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Mature. B. Greedy.
C. Ambitious. D. Annoying.
31. What can be inferred about Fred in the last paragraph?
A. He failed to live independently.
B. He reunited with his family later.
C. He got killed by opponents’ tusks.
D. He survived some natural disasters.

D
A new study found people growing up in rural areas have better navigation (导航) skills than those raised in cities and that people whose home cities have grid layouts (网格布局) are slightly better at navigating similarly organised streets, despite having poorer performance overall.
The study involved nearly 4,000,000 participants from 38 countries who played Sea Hero Quest (SHQ), a game requiring them to navigate a boat in a virtual environment to find the places marked on a map. The researchers found that where people grew up influenced their performance in the game, while their present living place did not affect their scores.
The researchers compared the home cities of the participants by analysing the “lack-of-order” state of the street networks, to measure the complexity of the layouts. People whose hometown’s street layouts were more ordered like New York were worse at playing SHQ. Those from cities with less ordered street layouts like Prague performed only slightly worse than those from rural areas. To test if people from cities could more effectively find the right direction in environments similar to where they grew up, the researchers developed a city-themed version of SHQ, called CHQ, requiring participants to drive down the streets in a virtual environment from simple grids to more winding street layouts. People growing up in cities with grid layouts were slightly better at navigating in similar environments, although the difference was not as significant as their performance in SHQ.
The SHQ project was designed to aid Alzheimer’s research. Professor Michael Hornberger said, “Lack of spatial (空间的) navigation is a key Alzheimer’s symptom in the early stages of the disease. We are seeking to use the knowledge learned from SHQ to develop better disease monitoring tools.” Dr Susan Kohlhaas also said, “Thanks to the amazing response, we have been able to collect data from over four million players. If we’re to understand Alzheimer’s, it’s vital that we have participation from as many people as possible with diverse backgrounds and experiences.”

32. What is the finding of the study?
A. Street patterns in games are vital to one’s performance.
B. People raised in cities have a good sense of direction.
C. Growing up in rural areas improves navigation skills.
D. One’s present living place affects their navigation skills.
33. What did the participants do in the game?
A. They drew their own maps. B. They carried out a task of finding the marked place.
C. They marked some places on a map. D. They played games against each other.
34. What can be inferred about SHQ from paragraph 3?
A. It’s harder than CHQ for those from cities.
B. Researchers developed it based on CHQ.
C. It evaluates navigation skills better than CHQ.
D. Players from New York did better than those from Prague.
35. Why does Dr Susan Kohlhaas acknowledge the project?
A. It helps Alzheimer’s patients play SHQ.
B. It helps people gain navigation skills.
C. It helps get a better knowledge of Alzheimer’s.
D. It helps spot Alzheimer’s at an early stage.

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。
Who are your friends? Are they all similar in age to you? 36 But you can widen your social circle and gain life-enriching benefits by becoming friends with someone younger or older than you. Having friends of different ages can greatly improve the quality of your life.
Having older friends can change your attitude towards life because they have already gone through the challenges you are facing. They have been young parents, have survived a job loss, and can help you get through these changes in your own life. 37 Then you’ll feel more ready for what’s coming in future stages.
When older people make friends with younger people, they get to share their experiences which can be very rewarding. 38 Giving your wisdom and attention makes you feel better. It gives you meaning and is good for your mental health. Having younger friends can also make you feel younger by including new ideas and energy in your life.
39 While making new friends may seem frightening, it’s actually easier than you think. You can first think about your acquaintances or coworkers and see if any of them share your values and interests and would make a good friend. Then see if you can make a coffee date. Besides, you can consider joining in a class that your coworker or acquaintance participates in and that you think you will enjoy. 40
All in all making friends with people not your age can open your eyes to new ideas and new experiences that can be life-changing.

A. For human beings, giving is good.
B. Where to find friends sharing a common interest?
C. Then how can you make intergenerational friends?
D. Having friends at your own age is natural, of course.
E. What’s more, younger friends can give you some fresh ideas.
F. It’s believed that joining in activities like volunteering is also an effective way.
G. An older friend also helps you “try on” certain life experiences before you get there.

“I’ve sent my resume, but I haven’t received any emails or heard anything. So, I came here,” Sandra said to Mrs. Cleaver, the manager of the grocery store where she applied to work during her summer holidays.
Sandra was raised by a single mother who worked very hard but still didn’t have much to save for the 18-year-old’s future. So Sandra decided to send out resumes and work as much as possible. Usually, her mother would not allow her to work during the school year because she wanted Sandra to focus on her study. But Sandra insisted and applied at several places. However, this grocery store was the best option. It was close to her house, and her mother wouldn’t worry about her much if she was there.
“I’m sorry, child. We’re just not hiring right now,” Mrs. Cleaver said.
“Please, I’ll do everything. I can work part-time or full-time, and I can do anything that others don’t want to do. I’m also pretty strong, though I look skinny,” Sandra explained eagerly. Mrs. Cleaver gave her a knowing smile. Sandra explained that she wanted to save money for medical school, and Mrs. Cleaver finally nodded.
“Can you start working today?” Mrs. Cleaver asked. Sandra almost hurt her neck while nodding fiercely. She was excited. Mrs. Cleaver took her in the back and gave her a vest and a broom. Her first assignment was to sweep the dirt and leaves. Sandra did it without complaint. Mrs. Cleaver then assigned her to clean the bathrooms, which was a rougher request. But Sandra didn’t complain and kept her word. Eventually, Sandra started getting all the dirty and heavy tasks other employees hated. She did everything gladly for everyone, no matter how difficult and tiring the task was. Mrs. Cleaver liked her attitude and took note of it. In a world where young people of her age wanted to become Internet stars, it was nice to see someone enjoy honest hard work.

注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mrs. Cleaver spoke to the store owner Ronald about Sandra.



Learning that Ronald allowed her to apply for a scholarship, Sandra couldn’t believe her ears.

36. D 空前提到“他们都与你年龄相仿吗”，空后提到“但是你可以通过和比你年轻或年长的人成为朋友来扩大你的社交圈，并丰富生活”。由此可知，空处是过渡句，应起到承上启下的作用。D项“有同龄朋友当然是很正常的”与空前相呼应，且与空后内容形成转折，符合语境。故选D。
37. G 空前提到“年长的朋友能帮助你度过人生中的转变”，空后提到“这样你就会为接下来的阶段做更好的准备”。由此可知空处应引入有年长的朋友的另一个好处。G项“年长的朋友还可以帮助你提前体验某种生活经历”表明了有年长的朋友的另一个好处，符合语境。故选G。
38. A 该段的主题为结交更年轻朋友的好处。空前和空后内容都与分享和给予有关，空处内容也应与此相关。A项“对人类来说，给予是件好事”既与“share their experiences”相照应，又与“Giving your wisdom and attention makes you feel better.”相联系。故选A。
39. C 该空位于段首，应是对段落内容的概括与总结。根据下文中的“You can first ... Then see if you can ... will enjoy.”可知，该段主要介绍了如何结交年长或更年轻的朋友。C项“那么你如何建立跨代友谊呢”准确概括了段落主旨。intergenerational“代与代之间的”。故选C。
40. F 根据本段主题和空前的内容可知，空处也应是结交年长或更年轻的朋友的一个方法。F项“参加志愿服务等活动也被认为是一个有效方法”符合语境。故选F。

第四部分 写作
第一节
参考范文：
Many animals are facing starvation and homelessness. To help them out of trouble, the Animal Conservation Association of our school conducted a series of activities last weekend.
To begin with, the members of the association set up outdoor shelters to ensure animals a home, where they put soft mats or cushions transformed from worn-out clothes to keep stray animals warm. Moreover, food and clean water were delivered. They also made signs with words reminding people to treat animals kindly and carefully.
Though the activities are slight when it comes to so many stray animals, every little bit counts. We all should take action to help stray animals.

第二节
参考范文：
Paragraph 1:
Mrs. Cleaver spoke to the store owner Ronald about Sandra. Deeply touched by Sandra’s enormous capacity for hard work, Ronald decided to offer this diligent girl an opportunity to apply for his Education Foundation. “Your story reminds me of the days when I was young, doing the tough work and striving for my dream. And I really hope I can do something to make your dream come true,” said Ronald genuinely. “That is so nice of you to give me such a great chance,” Sandra thanked Ronald with her hands trembling, tears brimming in her eyes.
Paragraph 2:
Learning that Ronald allowed her to apply for a scholarship, Sandra couldn’t believe her ears. She dashed to Mrs. Cleaver to confirm whether it was a dream. “No. It’s a dream coming true,” beamed Mrs. Cleaver, casting her an encouraging look. Finally, luck befell this ill-fated but optimistic girl. After a few weeks, she was provided with a full scholarship for her medical school. After the despairing darkness finally came broad daylight. Odds might not be in our favor sometimes, but as long as we hold on with resilience, misfortune can be a blessing in disguise.

W: I know. We’re going to pay an arm and a leg for this meal, too. I wish we had gone somewhere else. We should have known not to trust a website when picking out a restaurant. My best luck with places to eat has always been from talking to friends.

M: The Walt Disney Company on Tuesday became the first major media company to ban ads for junk food on its TV channels, radio stations and websites. It hopes this will stop kids from making poor food choices.
The ban would apply to Disney XD and Saturday-morning children’s programming on Disney-owned ABC stations, as well as Radio Disney and Disney-owned websites aimed at families with young children. In addition, Disney plans to make changes to its kids’ menus at theme parks and resorts. Fast food choices will be replaced with healthier choices, such as apples, vegetables and yogurt.
Disney isn’t the only one pushing away unhealthy foods. Last week, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg suggested a ban on drinks over 16 ounces sold in movie theaters, restaurants and convenience stores in the Big Apple. He says large, sugary drinks are partly to blame for obesity (肥胖).
Getting rid of junk food ads could make it easier to keep a family on a healthy diet, says Nadine Haskell, a mother of two sons, 8 and 11, from Columbus, Ohio. “If they see a commercial on TV, then the next time we go to a grocery store they’ll say they want to try it,” said Haskell.
