A
Natasha, 19, is a sophomore (二年级学生) at Baylor University in Texas. She was born in Africa but came to the US when she was 3 years old.
Natasha was on her way to science class one day this past November. A male student suddenly knocked her off the sidewalk. Then he used a racist (种族主义的) word for black people. He told Natasha that black people weren't “allowed on the sidewalk.” Another male student was nearby. “Boy, that's not cool，” he said to the first student. The first student made another rude comment. Then the two guys walked away.
Natasha had never experienced such racism at Baylor before. She wanted to let other people know what had happened. When Natasha got home from class, she made a video, calmly describing what had happened on the sidewalk. Then she posted the video on Facebook.
Two days later, Natasha got ready to walk to science class again. She was still hurt, angry and sad. But when she stepped outside, she couldn't believe what she saw: 300 people were waiting for her. They had come to walk her to class.
There were white faces and black faces and Asian faces in the crowd. They were Natasha's fellow students. And they were united in their anger about what had happened to her. They were there to make it clear that racism is never OK.
The crowd cheered when Natasha appeared. She fought back tears. The students linked arms and walked across campus (校园) together.
Outside her classroom, Natasha spoke to the crowd.
“You have no idea how much this means to me，” she said. She praised the second male student — the one who had stood up for her.

Cities around the world have started to use composting (堆肥) as a way to recycle organic waste and reduce the amount of landfills (填埋) and pollution. Cities spend hundreds of millions of dollars transporting waste to landfills, which also burns fuel and contributes to global post is made out of organic waste, such as rotten leaves, leftover fruits, vegetables, egg shells and other foods. It recycles organic materials into fertilizer (肥料) for plants and vegetables.
South Korea uses a system for the effective collection of garbage waste and the reuse of natural resources. Garbage must be separated according to “common garbage”， “food waste recyclables” and “large waste objects”， or the resident will be fined. In Canada, millions have access to roadside organic waste collection. Residents are expected to sort their kitchen waste and place it in the appropriate bins for collection. New York City started a composting pilot program in 2013, with workshops for individuals an NYC schools, such as worm composting — using worms to help turn the organic material into compost for fertilizer by eating the waste and passing it through their bodies.
Some people are not excited about composting. For example, in June 2013, some New York residents complained about the smell of the composting site in the park. It can also be difficult to remember to separate organic waste from regular waste.
But in Portland, Oregon, which has had a composting program for two years now, residents report that they have got used to the downsides. “It's encouraging us to make less waste, and it doesn't smell bad anymore, because our food leftovers are going out more often，” Portland resident Kendra Yao told Oregon Public Radio.

A peace treaty is a formal agreement between two or more countries that have formerly been at war. The treaty is a contract designed to cease wars immediately or other requirements to ensure peace. Many of the most famous wars of history ended with a peace treaty. In modern times, complicated conflicts often call for a more detailed resolution than a simple treaty.
Wars are conducted by governments or other opposing bodies for a variety of reasons. When one force has superior combat strength, the war often ends with bloody conquest.When forces are evenly matched, or nearly so, fighting can last for months or years, with tremendous losses on both sides.In these cases，diplomacy often triumphs where strong force fails to resolve the conflict.A peace treaty is a common way for opposing forces to end wars and begin the process of rebuilding.
In modern history, Paris has long been the site for the signing of peace treaties, as it is often a neutral (中立的) location.The American Revolution ended with the 1783 Paris Peace Treaty, while Napoleon acknowledged defeat with the Treaty of Paris in 1815.
During the Indian wars of the 18th and 19th centuries，the American government got a bad prestige for disregarding treaties it had previously signed with Native American tribes, and more battles resulted.The Treaty of Versailles，which officially ended World War Ⅰ in 1919, imposed serious punishments on Germany, the defeated party.These punishments damaged the German economy and caused bitter anger among the German people.Many historians believe these conditions led to the rise of the Nazi party and the Second World War.
In modern times, war rarely ends with a comprehensive peace treaty.The Vietnam War, the Korean Conflict, and France's Algerian War ended with agreements that slowed combat gradually over a period of years rather than bringing an immediate peace.Modern war is a messy business that is difficult to control through such civilized measures as a signed contract.Nevertheless, diplomats work diligently to ensure that conflicts are resolved, one way or the other by eventual peace.
12．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．Wars will last for long when the combat strength of both sides is similar.
B．World War Ⅰ in 1919 ended up with the sign of the Treaty of Versailles.
C．German Nazi party rose because it was defeated during World War Ⅰ in 1919.
D．True peace requires the diplomats' diligent work and people's awareness.
13．What does the writer mainly tell us in Paragraph 4
A．A peace treaty is often ignored by the defeated side.
B．Some countries don't want to sign peace treaties.
C．A peace treaty does not always mean the end of wars.
D．The defeated side often suffers great from punishments.
14．It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A．peace treaties are less effective in modern times
B．the stronger side suffers more during a war
C．peace treaties are often signed by neutral countries
D．there are more conflicts or wars in modern times

Americans were very shocked, and The Jungle became the best selling book in the U．S.

Today, the FDA still works to help keep our food safe.

A peace treaty is a formal agreement between two or more countries that have formerly been at war. The treaty is a contract designed to cease wars immediately or other requirements to ensure peace. Many of the most famous wars of history ended with a peace treaty. In modern times, complicated conflicts often call for a more detailed resolution than a simple treaty.
Wars are conducted by governments or other opposing bodies for a variety of reasons. When one force has superior combat strength, the war often ends with bloody conquest.When forces are evenly matched, or nearly so, fighting can last for months or years, with tremendous losses on both sides.In these cases，diplomacy often triumphs where strong force fails to resolve the conflict.A peace treaty is a common way for opposing forces to end wars and begin the process of rebuilding.
In modern history, Paris has long been the site for the signing of peace treaties, as it is often a neutral (中立的) location.The American Revolution ended with the 1783 Paris Peace Treaty, while Napoleon acknowledged defeat with the Treaty of Paris in 1815.
During the Indian wars of the 18th and 19th centuries，the American government got a bad prestige for disregarding treaties it had previously signed with Native American tribes, and more battles resulted.The Treaty of Versailles，which officially ended World War Ⅰ in 1919, imposed serious punishments on Germany, the defeated party.These punishments damaged the German economy and caused bitter anger among the German people.Many historians believe these conditions led to the rise of the Nazi party and the Second World War.
In modern times, war rarely ends with a comprehensive peace treaty.The Vietnam War, the Korean Conflict, and France's Algerian War ended with agreements that slowed combat gradually over a period of years rather than bringing an immediate peace.Modern war is a messy business that is difficult to control through such civilized measures as a signed contract.Nevertheless, diplomats work diligently to ensure that conflicts are resolved, one way or the other by eventual peace.
语篇解读：战争的双方签署了和平条约，就真正意味着战争的结束吗？
12．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．Wars will last for long when the combat strength of both sides is similar.
B．World War Ⅰ in 1919 ended up with the sign of the Treaty of Versailles.
C．German Nazi party rose because it was defeated during World War Ⅰ in 1919.
D．True peace requires the diplomats' diligent work and people's awareness.
解析：选A 细节理解题。从第二段中的“When forces are evenly matched, or nearly so, fighting can last for months or years”可知，当交战的双方势均力敌的时候，战争会持续更长的时间。
13．What does the writer mainly tell us in Paragraph 4
A．A peace treaty is often ignored by the defeated side.
B．Some countries don't want to sign peace treaties.
C．A peace treaty does not always mean the end of wars.
D．The defeated side often suffers great from punishments.
解析：选C 段落大意题。通读本段可知，作者在本段列举了两个例子说明了，尽管战争的双方签署了和平条约，但是这并非真正意味着战争的结束，有时候会因为某一方的忽视而导致更多的战争。
14．It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A．peace treaties are less effective in modern times
B．the stronger side suffers more during a war
C．peace treaties are often signed by neutral countries
D．there are more conflicts or wars in modern times
解析：选A 推理判断题。从第一段中的“In modern times, complicated conflicts often call for a more detailed resolution than a simple treaty.” 以及最后一段中的“In modern times, war rarely ends with a comprehensive peace treaty.”可知，在当今世界，和平条约对于真正消除战争所起到的作用并不是很大的。

A．power B．experience
C．reputation D．influence
解析：选C 词义猜测题。由“for disregarding treaties it had previously signed with Native American tribes, and more battles resulted”可知，美国政府没有尊重先前与印第安人部落签署的条约，因此在国际上的声誉很不好。

Poisoned (有毒的) sausages. Beef with fly eggs. Dirt covered pork. Sounds tasty, right One hundred years ago, many foods sold in stores were dirty and unsafe.
__16__ Back then, the U．S. didn't examine food factories for cleanliness. And companies didn't have to show the ingredients in the food they sold.
Packaged meat was particularly disgusting — and it often made people sick. __17__ He became friends with meatpacking workers in Chicago, Illinois. They helped him secretly go into factories so that he could see what was going on. In 1906, Sinclair published The Jungle. __18__
“There would be meat stored in great piles (堆) in rooms ... and thousands of rats would race about on it，” wrote Sinclair. “A man could run his hand over these piles of meat and sweep off handfuls of the dried dung (粪便) of rats.”
Workers put out poisoned bread to kill the rats, Sinclair added. __19__ The rats, bread, and meat all went into sausages. Sinclair also wrote about other awful things he saw, like spoiled meat pumped full of chemicals to hide the unpleasant smell.
Americans were very shocked, and The Jungle became the best selling book in the U．S. Thanks to Sinclair, the government quickly passed new food safety laws. __20__ Later, the government set up a group called the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Today, the FDA still works to help keep our food safe.
A．But workers didn't remove them.
B．People didn't believe what the novel described.
C．Packaged food wasn't popular at all at that time.
D．But a writer named Upton Sinclair helped change that.
E．This novel uncovered the terrible truth about meatpacking.
F．Americans had no idea what was in the food they were buying.
G．Officials began visiting factories to test food for poisons and germs.
语篇解读：文章介绍了美国食品安全史上的重要拐点——20世纪之初，作家Upton Sinclair揭露了当时令人作呕的食品卫生状况，从而推动了美国新的食品安全法的诞生。
16．解析：选F F项中的had no idea what was in the food与下文的解释“didn't examine food factories for cleanliness”和“companies didn't have to show the ingredients in the food”相呼应，即一百年前的美国人并不清楚他们所买的食物里的成分。
17．解析：选D 由下文描述Sinclair溜进肉品加工厂并揭露那些令人作呕的加工场景可知，他改变了一百年前美国一直存在的食品安全问题。
18．解析：选E 由下文引述Sinclair所写的The Jungle里的原话“thousands of rats would race about on it ... sweep off handfuls of the dried dung of rats”可知，E项中的uncovered the terrible truth about meatpacking是对这本小说的总结。
19．解析：选A 由上文中的“Workers put out poisoned bread to kill the rats”和下文中的“The rats, bread, and meat all went into sausages”可知，工厂工人并没有把用来灭鼠的毒面包扔掉，而是把它们混合在一起加工成香肠。
20．解析：选G G项与最后一段提到的“政府颁布新的食品安全法”和“美国食品药品监督管理局的诞生”都是Sinclair揭露美国食品安全问题之后带给美国的改变。

I love peace and hate war
参考范文：
I love peace and hate war
As we all know, war is still a serious problem in the world today, and I must say I love peace and hate war.
There's no doubt that people all over the world long for peace. Peace is of great benefit to the world. With peace, all the countries in the world can establish harmonious relationships and promote advanced development hand in hand. Peace gives individuals enough freedom and guarantees that we can work and study happily. War, on the other hand, is the root of disasters, which leads to economic depression, the spread of terrible diseases and severe famine.
All in all, for the good of our whole world, it is our responsibility to say no to war and make contributions to world peace.
