In the latter half of the dreadful month of burning heat in May, I was overjoyed to undertake a social task. However, it soon turned into a sudde
17、n feeling of being doubtful of the idea of participating in a great cause. The thought of working for a state governments Ministry of Women and Child Welfare project led me to challenge my own potential of enriching the childrens lives. It struck me that regardless of the contribution to the lives o
18、f some 42 orphan girls, who had undergone countless painful experiences in their childhood, it was more important and convincing to at least try and be able to change their lives in some small way. Our guide put huge faith in me and, therefore, assigned me the new task of directing another team of 8
19、 boys. As days passed by, my team of boys told their individual life stories and what followed was not a feeling of sympathy but an admiration and respect for their enduring nature of still loving life as it came and facing it with great courage.Teaching them about various general life skills made u
20、p the most part of the social task. I gradually started realizing peoples power of giving back to the society. There is no doubt that both evil and good exist but it was necessary to tell these boys about how they can not only survive but do well in their lives in this cruelly competitive world. I a
21、m glad I could fill this aspect of life in them. It touched me a lot, especially after having seen so many tough times in life. The best part about this whole project, for me, was a two-way learning process and it convinced me of my abilities to add to other peoples efforts of goodness and kindness.

25、nderstood her moral responsibility. CDo you often see many farms and crops in your city? Many people wrongly think that cities dont have farms and that fruits and vegetables are only grown in the country. Believe it or not, there are more and more urban farms popping up in cities all over the world.
26、 Alexandra Sullivan, a food system researcher in New York City, studies urban agriculture. Urban agriculture is another name for farming and gardening in a city environment. Ms. Sullivan studies everything from tiny gardens in empty lots between buildings to bigger fields that have been planted and
27、grown. According to Ms. Sullivan, “Urban agriculture has existed since cities have, across the world. ”The number of humans living in urban areas, or cities, is increasing. The amount of people who want to garden in urban areas is also rising. Ms. Sullivan says, “In small gardens, on rooftops and in
28、doors, they grow fruits, vegetables, grains, and herbs, and raise animals to produce milk, eggs, honey, and meat. They use these foods as supplements to food produced by rural agriculture. ”Even though some people who live in urban areas grow crops. urban residents still need to rely on food grown i
29、n rural areas. This is because a city doesnt have enough space to grow enough food for everyone living in it. In New York City, urban farmers have come up with many different ways to grow their own produce, even though there isnt a lot of room. For example, Brooklyn Grange is a farming operation tha
30、t has two rooftop vegetable farms in New York City. All together, the farms are made up of 2.5 acres of rooftop space. This make Brooklyn Grange one of the largest rooftop farming operations in the world. Brooklyn Grange grows all kinds of things. The farming company sells its vegetables to local re
31、sidents and restaurants. And because the farms are on rooftops, they are specially adapted to their urban location. They use available space that is not needed for anything else. As more urban farmers find ways to grow food in cities, urban residents will be better able to get fresher materials for
32、their meals. 28. Which of the following is Ms. Sullivans opinion according to the text?A. Urban residents still rely on food grown in rural areas completely. B. The number of people living in cities is increasing slowly. C. Urban agriculture has a history as long as cities. D. Urban agriculture can
33、provide huge income. 49. What does the underlined word “they”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Farmers. B. City residents. C. Rural residents. D. Companies. 30. What can we learn about Brooklyn Grange in New York City from the text?A. It makes use of rooftop space to grow vegetables. B. It produces enough
34、food for citizens. C. It can only grow single products. D. It has large farming areas. 31. What may be the best title for the text?A. Farms in CitiesB. Future Food SystemC. Food Grown in CitiesD. Agriculture of New York CityDSpeech is silver, but silence is gold. Sometimes, keeping silent is better
35、than speaking out. At your next meeting, wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts. Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures. What on
36、e culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and a sign of respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch (荷兰语)and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel une
37、asy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 secondsnearly twice as long as in Americans meetings. In Japan, it is recognised that the best communication is when you dont speak at all. Its already a failure to understand each other
38、 by speaking because youre repairing that failure by using words.In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial (殖民地的)America as a crossroads of many different race. When you have a complex of difference, its hard to establish common understanding unless you talk and theres understandably
39、a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally engaged to establish a common life. This applies also to some extent to London.In contrast, when theres more homogeneity perhaps its easier for some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family its easier to sit in silenc
40、e than with people youre less well acquainted with. 32. Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation?A. The Dutch. B. Americans. C. The Japanese. D. The English. 33. What might the Japanese agree with in conversation?A. Speaking more gives the upper hand. B. Speak out
41、 what you have in your mind. C. The shorter talking silence, the better. D. Great minds think alike without words. 34. What can we learn from the text?A. A four-second silence in conversation is universal. B. Its hard for Americans to reach a common agreement. C. English speakers are more talkative
42、than Japanese speakers. D. The closer we and our family are, the easier the silence appears, 35. What does the underlined word “homogeneity” in the last paragraph mean?A. Similarity, B. Contradiction. C. Diversity. D. Misunderstanding. 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。T
43、ravelling can help expand our scope of knowledge, especially geographical and historical learning. Travelling is a great way to interact with a culture which might be completely different from your own. 36 Before I moved to Sicily I had travelled around the whole of Italy, the south and the north, a
44、nd I absolutely fell in love with the culture and the language so I was inspired to learn the language and also to move here. And here I am now, living in Sicily. 37 When you get back home youll have lots of stories to tell your friends and family. Even if something isnt very fun, it sill be funny t
45、o look back and laugh at those awkward or harsh moments. for example, I was travelling with a group of friends in Pisa and we took the wrong bus to the beach area, so we ended up being stuck in the rain and having to walk back.When you travel you expose yourself to different people. 38 Its a great l
