At first, I heard this and thought, “You are asking an eleven-year-old in his last weeks
18、of summer if he wants to go on a trip with his mom to Canada to serve other people?” Of course, I responded with a kind refusal, but my mom found a way to convince me to go.When we were on the ferry to the island, a thousand thoughts were running through my head，such as “What am I going to do here?”
19、, “Am I even going to be useful?” and “Why am I even here?”. When we got to the island, I was asked to the child care. I was actually somewhat excited because my friend said he would help me. The first time I met the kids, I got to know them pretty well. They were all between the ages of four and si
20、x. Some of them stayed behaved and a few of them started acting crazy and would even hit and push the other kids. With those kids, I was very strict, but I still tried to be positive and keep a smile. After all, they were just innocent kids. In most of the time, I needed to help them with things lik
21、e washing clothe, and setting tables. Even though it sounded dull, I enjoyed every second of it. One of the things I did in my free time was to play pool (打台球). I made friends with a few kids there. They were really easy to talk to. Some of the things we talked about were sports, food, video games,
22、and most of all pool.Even though I was only at Malibu, Canada for one week, I feel like I made spiritual changes in some peoples life. You dont have to go above and beyond to have an influence on someones life. In the end, it all comes down to what way you changed them. It could have been in a spiri
23、tual way or a mental way as long as you had a positive effect. So go out and try to make a difference in this world.24.

26、bu.C. What to do to make a greater difference.D. What he has learnt from the experience.CTo help the environment, many Americans have made the change from paper and plastic bags to reusable shopping bags. But a report by a Florida newspaper says that reusable shopping bags sold by some supermarkets
27、have high levels of lead (铅), which can be dangerous to humans, especially young children. Now，theres a call for a rethink about the use of reusable shopping bags. “When our families go to the store looking for safe and healthy foods, the last thing they should be worrying about is a bag, “Charles S
28、chumer, a government official said. “Quick and complete research will allow everyone to make right decisions.” The newspaper bought more than a dozen bags sold at Publix Super Markets from Florida to test them for lead. The results showed that certain bags had lead levels that worried health officia
29、ls. Some bags had enough lead in them to be considered dangerous waste if people were to throw the bags out with other rubbishLead in the bags is not likely to move onto food. But over time, paint (油漆) on the bags can break off and the bags can wear out. When this happens, lead can be freed. The aff
30、ected (受影响的) bags were found in Florida. But publix has more than 1, 000 stores across America. Publix says that its bags dont break any laws about lead levels, but that they have asked the makers of the bags to reduce (降低) the lead levels in them. The bags with the highest levels of lead had beauti
31、ful designs and many pictures. Plain reusable bags without them are found to have little lead. People who are worried about lead levels in reusable bags can turn to cloth. Paper bags are also a good choice, since paper can be reused.28. What worries people now is that reusable shopping bags _.A. can
32、t be reused.B. can be a danger to people.C. are as bad as paper bags. D. are a waste of money.29. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to “ _”.A. bags.

Time to Invent Greener Shopping Bags.C. The effect of Shopping Bags.D. The Return of Paper Bags.DWe know a lot about the advantages and disa
34、dvantages of reading a hardcopy book vs reading electronically. The problem is, many of us refuse to listen.Dont get me wrong：Digital reading has some real advantages. Ask people what they like most about reading on digital screens, and you hear over and again about convenience. More points for digi
35、tal reading: ebooks tend to be cheaper. Theres also the environmental argument. Think of the trees!Yet the soundness of this case is arguable. The earth metals to build ereaders are not just rare but highly poisonous. And think about all that energy needed to run servers and cooling fans. And rememb
36、er, trees are a renewable resource.Then, theres the appeal of a hard copy. Many people prefer print when reading both for pleasure and for school or work. Drawing examples from my own research, some of the reasons are aesthetic (美学的). Others involve a sense of accomplishment, ease of annotation (“I
37、can write on the pages”), and navigation (“easy to locate where I was”). Meanwhile, I hear abundant complaints about eye strain (干涩) and headaches when using screens.Much of what students liked about reading print involved their minds. They say “its easier to focus”. Some also acknowledged they took
38、 more time with printed text and read more carefully.But what makes the failure of electronic reading is concentration. More than 92 percent of those I surveyed said they concentrate best when reading a hard copy. When a digital device has an Internet connection, its hard to resist the temptation (诱
39、惑). So if digital interruptions dont threaten your enjoyment or understanding of a text, then medium may not matter. Casual reading like David Baldacci? If you break to check sports scores, little harm done. But just dont expect to understand Joyces novels this way.32. What is an advantage of readin
40、g a hardcopy book?A. It is cheaper.B. It is easier to carry around.C. It provides instant information. D. It helps people think deeper.33. Whats the biggest problem of reading digitally?A. Environmental concern.B. Physical discomfort.C. Internet connection. D. Concentration.34. Whats the authors att
41、itude towards ereading?A. Supportive. B. Optimistic. C. Disapproving. D. Unconcerned.35. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By analyzing possible reasons.B. By giving typical examples.C. By presenting direct comparisons.D. By showing practical suggestions.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
42、填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两处为多余选项。When I learned that a psychology class designed to teach students how to become happier was available online to anyone who wanted to take it, I decided to see what it was about. After taking the course, I believe that anyone who follows the suggestions can truly become happier
43、. 36 Increase social connections.Talking with a friend face to face will make you happier. 37 My boyfriend loves chatting with waiters, and I notice that he always wears a wide and happy smile after having a meaningful talking with them. Actually, many studies have found that the more social media,
44、the less happy you are. 38 Volunteering to help someone or buying a coffee for the person behind you in line can make you happier, because helping others takes the focus away from our own worries and problems, which can increase happiness. 39 if you perform the same act of kindness over and over, it
45、 may begin to feel like a duty.Burn some calories.Exercise causes hormonal (荷尔蒙的) changes in the body that make you feel good and avoid negative thoughts. 40 And after ten months, they are less likely to be depressed (沮丧) again.A. Buy someone a coffee.B. Perform acts of kindness.C. My favorite tips
