10、o make ends meet.One day several years later, I was determined to help. I told the manager of the Don Carlos Motel in Dana Point that I was 15, so I could get a work permit to work as a maid.Since then, I ve started to work alongside some of America s top leaders, written books, and achieved financi
11、al independence. It took a lot of hard work and sacrifices. But what if I was 15 years old today? Would I be able to accomplish the same things in this new, highly competitive world with so many global challenges? It seems hard work and sacrifices arent enough anymore. Today, you need to be extremel
12、y adaptable. To progress in your career, it s not enough to know one thing well. As my friend Sean Harvey, product manager at Google put it when we were speaking to students, Today, companies arent hiring people for a specific position but rather people who are smart and flexible. The way you prove
13、that is by showing you can do multiple things well. People need to take more risks to succeed now than ever. The combination of unemployment and slow wage growth means that we are not only at greater financial risk, but we have to take more risks to succeed. Luckily, the new Internet world of all-th
14、e-time connectedness means that anyone with a hot idea, product or service can create a business out of almost nothing. And success can be quick and big. But that success demands more out of the box thinking.And what about our kids? It makes me think a lot about the future that my 3-year-old daughte
15、r faces. But no matter what the future brings, I think the best message I 11 give her is to believe in herself.

18、ople, according to recent city figures, with 4,300 of them living on the street. Among the many problems the homeless face is little or no access to showers. But Doniece Sandoval has made it her mission to change that.“Homelessness is something you cant really miss in San Francisco.” the 51-year-old
19、 former marketing manager told ABC News.She started Lava Mac, a sort of showers on wheels, a new project that aims to turn decommissioned (退役的) city buses into shower stations for the homeless. One day I passed a woman on the street and she was very dirty and crying, and I heard her say that she wou
20、ld never be clean. I was wondering what opportunities she had to actually get clean, Sandoval said. Thats when I realized that this shouldnt be happening. Sandoval was inspired to start Lava Mac. The project has already been welcomed with open arms in the city. The San Francisco Municipal Transporta
21、tion Agency has donated one bus for the cause and is willing to donate three more in the future if the project succeeds. Sandoval hopes the first bus will be able to hit the road in March. The Public Utilities Commission has also agreed to let the buses plug into fire hydrants (消防栓) around the city
22、if Lava Mac pays for the water.One of Lava Maes biggest supporters is Bevan Dufty, the director of Housing Opportunities. “For people who are unhoused, access to showers is very difficult. Dufty said. “Doniece has done an incredible job as a citizen who cares about helping the poor. We are very exci
23、ted to see Lava Mac become a reality next year.Each bus will have two shower stations and Sandoval expects that by 2015. they II be able to provide 2.000 showers a week.The project is currently $80,000 short of its first years budget of $365,000 and runs on donations.

According to the text, Lava Mac still needs A. more money B. more volunteers C. technical support D. govern
27、ment permissionCWell-styled, beautiful designs. Bright blue lights. Built-in memory chips. These gadgets (小玩意儿)sound as snazzy as the new iPhone. They re e-cigarettes, which are marketed as a tool for people addicted to nicotine to try and kick the habit. With no tobacco and such careful engineering
28、, these little battery-powered gadgets must be safe，right?Not so fast . Though there s been a decline in the number of teens smoking conventional cigarettes, the number of middle and high school students using e-cigarette has tripled (增至三倍) in the past three years contributing to a brand-new and boo
29、ming $3 billion industry. But even though these gadgets dont flood your lungs with smoke, they still contain mcotine. Nicotine actually creates changes in the developing brain. says Robin Koval. CEO and president of Legacy Health. a health foundation created to prevent youth smoking.That s not even
30、the worst of it, though. Koval says that the industry is actually courting teens.“Tobacco companies need to replace the 1.200 individuals who die each day from tobacco, says Koval. And they know that the best way is to recruit (吸收) teenagers. In fact, research shows that if you dont start smoking by
31、 age 19, you re unlikely to ever become a smoker. The e-cigarette industry says they dont market e-cigarettes to teens, explains Koval. But they re using a lot of the same means that they used to recruit millions and millions of young people to smoke regular cigarettes. (Some of these previously suc
32、cessful techniques-include clever movie placements: new means include sweet flavors.) Besides, researchers are beginning to suspect that e-cigarettes could have the power to turn teens into tobacco users. We re finding that kids who never smoked before are using e-cigarettes, and they may be moving
33、on to smoking regular cigarettes. explains Dr. Garry Sigman. director of adolescent medicine at Loyola University Medical Center. Whats more, you may think: E-cigarettes arent even regulated-they must be safe! Establishing guidelines is a lengthy process, and e-cigarette regulations are still years
34、away. Currently, anyone can sell them, so theres no guarantee regarding how they re made, whats in them. And how they re advertised. Traditional cigarettes developed into a big-time business before anyone knew their true side effects. And by the time warning labels appeared on packages in 1966, 42 p
35、ercent of Americans were already smokers. Is history repeating itself?29. The underlined word snazzy in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by_ A. simple B. strange C. expensive D. fashionable30. In the past three years, e-cigarettes have been getting more and more popular among_ A. teenagers B. male adults

A. the popularity of e-cigarettes B. the advantages of traditional cigarettes C. that e-cigarettes have been advertised very heavily D. that the e-cigarette industry is trying to attract teens32.
37、 We can infer from the last paragraph that by the time e-cigarettes are regulated, _ A. there will be fewer desperate smokers B. few people will smoke regular cigarettes C. about half Americans will benefit from e-cigarettes D. lots of people will have become addicted to e-cigarettesDAustralia has a
38、 cat problem. At least 15 million cats wander the continent, living on up to 75 million native animals every day. The cats have been called the biggest threat facing Australia s wildlife and have already been linked to as many as 30 extinctions,Previous attempts to trap and kill cats havent been ver
39、y effective, but now a new solution is likely to be adopted. It s called Eradicat - a combination of kangaroo meat, chicken fat, and a deadly poison called 1080, which has proven successful in other attempts to remove invasive species. Under trial conditions, it managed to kill between 70 percent an
40、d 80 percent of the cats that consumed it. The 1080 poison is a good solution for the state of Western Australia because it is made from plants that grow there. The native animals in these areas have evolved a resistance to it through evolving with the plants.Buckminster was the lead author of a pap
41、er published last year in the journal PLOS ONE that examined the risk 1080 might bring to native species. The study found that species that did not evolve with the plants would face a greater risk from the poison. Buckminster suggested that the deployment (部署) of Eradicat should be timed at a point
42、when cats don t have a lot of other readily available food. Even once the poison is deployed, other cat-controlled techniques such as shooting, trapping, and fencing will need to continue. Buckminster said he feels nothing will ever completely solve the problem, but 1080 is an important tool that ca
43、n be used to reduce the population to a level where native animals are less at risk and potentially able to grow their populations.Of course not everyone supports the use of 1080. The Australian charity The World League for Protection of Animals calls it cruel. Buckminster acknowledged that it is si
44、mply not possible to guarantee that no nontarget animal will ever take a bait(诱饵) and die, but he said the risk of not using the bait is higher if cats continue their eating. In my view, it becomes a choice - deploy the bait and potentially risk the death of a few native animals, or dont deploy the
45、bait and guarantee the death of many, Buckminster said.33. The cat problem in Australia can be described as _ A. complicated B. serious C. disappointing D. mysterious34. Eradicat is most effective when _ A. cats first arrive in West Australia B. there isnt enough food for cats to eat C. other cat-co
46、ntrol techniques are not used D. native animals have evolved a resistance to it35. The underlined word it in the last paragraph refers to _ A. the making process of Eradicat B. the sacrifice of native animals C. the removing of cats D. the use of the poison第二节 （共5小题， 每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短问内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填
