As 17-year old Torri’ell Norwood drove through St. Petersburg, Florida, the laughter and chatter from the four teenage girls inside her car quickly gave way to screams. As they approached a crossroads, another car T-boned them, sending their car sailing into the yard of a nearby home, coming to a stop only when it crashed into a tree.
As smoke rose from the other car, someone shouted, “It’s about to blow up! Get out!” The impact had caved in Norwood’s driver’s side door. Shaken, but otherwise OK, Norwood crawled (缓慢移动) out through the window. Along with two of her friends, who’d also managed to free themselves, she ran for her life.
But halfway down the street, she realized that her best friend, A’zarria Simmons, wasn’t with them. Norwood ran back to the car and found that Simmons fainted in the back seat and wasn’t moving. She threw open the back door and pulled her friend out. She dragged Simmons a few feet to safety and laid her on the ground. “I checked her pulse.” Nothing. “I put my head against her chest.” No sign of life. “That’s when I started CPR(心肺复苏术).”
Amazingly, Norwood had just earned her CPR certificate the day before. Kneeling on the ground and looking down at her dying friend, Norwood knew she had precious little time to practice what she’d learned. She started pressing Simmons’s chest and breathing into her friend’s mouth in hopes of filling her lungs with the kiss of life. No response. And then, after the 30th compression(挤压), Simmons began coughing and gasping for air. The CPR had worked!
Soon, ambulance crew arrived and rushed Simmons to the hospital. Thanks to Norwood’s quick thinking, Simmons is recovering well. And then she heard how her best friend had saved her life. “I know I wasn’t shocked,” Simmons said. “She will always help any way she can.”
24．What happened to the teenage girls on the way
A．They suffered a car accident. B．They gave way to another car.
C．Their car crashed into a wall. D．Their car broke down halfway.
25．What does the underlined word “fainted” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Died. B．Rested. C．Fell asleep. D．Became unconscious.
26．What is the paragraph 4 mainly about
A．How Norwood learnt CPR. B．How Norwood performed CPR.
C．How Norwood treated the wound. D．How Norwood gained CPR certificate.
27．Why did Simmons say she wasn’t shocked
A．She recovered from shock. B．She received immediate CPR.
C．She knew Norwood is a reliable friend. D．She believed ambulance crew would arrive.

Italy's fashion capital is gray — not only because of the blocks of stone buildings，but also due to its often-gray sky, which traps pollution. But Milan now wants to change it.
The city has an ambitious plan to plant 3 million new trees by 2030 - a move that experts say could offer relief from the city's hot weather. Some projects have already contributed to environmental improvements. Architect Stefano Boeri’s Vertical Forest residential (居民的) tower, completed in 2014, aims to improve not only air quality but the quality of life for Milan residents. Boeri created a small island of greenery in the heart of Milan, filling every balcony with plants that absorb carbon dioxide.
“I think forestation is one of the best chances that we have today. It is one of the most effective ways we have to fight climate change, because everyone can plant trees, Boeri said.
Damiano Di Simine, a member of the environmental group Legambiente , said the green Milan project will lower temperatures in a city where the nighttime temperature can be 6 degrees Celsius higher than in the surrounding area. City show that Milan experiences 35 hot nights a year. Because the city lies close to the Alps, Milin gets very little wind to lower the city's temperatures. "Planting trees will help this," Di said.
The Vertical Forest has attracted more than 20 species of birds. And the shade provided by the 800 trees and 15,000 plants means that residents rarely have to put on air conditioning, even in hot summers. The Vertical Forest's total greenery- can absorb 30 metric tons of carbon dioxide every year. The presence of green trees has a very important effect on people's health and psychological state, as has already been proved.
28．What change does Milan plan to make
A．Planting more trees. B．Creating a new fashion style.
C．Pulling down more gray stone buildings. D．Doing more surveys to study global wanning.
29．What's Boeri's opinion on the city's plan
A．It costs a lot. B．It is unpractical.
C．It fails to attract people's attention. D．It is helpful to fight against climate change.
30．What is Di Simine's attitude toward the city's plan
A．Doubtful. B．Supportive.
C．Disappointed. D．Unconcerned.
31．What does the last paragraph focus on
A．Specifics of the city's plan. B．Challenges faced by the city.
C．The aim of the Vertical Forest project. D．The positive effect of the Vertical Forest project.
D
Have you ever spent half an hour searching the Internet which, as you find out afterwards, lasted three hours, or opened a book shortly after breakfast and a little while later noticed that the room was getting darker
Most people can remember experiencing such a state. Your mind wasn't wandering; you were totally focused and concentrated on that activity, to such an extent that you were not even aware of yourself. Psychologists call these fully absorbing experiences flow states, which were discovered and named by a world-famous psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. His celebrated book Flow: The Psychology of Happiness became an instant best-seller, making its way to the top self-help classics.
The state of flow happens under very specific conditions-when we encounter a challenge that is testing for our skills, and yet our skills and capacities are such that it is just about possible to meet this challenge. So both the challenge and the skills are at high levels, stretching us almost to the limit. If challenges exceed skills, one can become anxious. If skills exceed challenges, we usually become bored. Neither of these two cases result in flow.
What is also interesting in flow is the almost total absence of emotions during the actual process. One seems to be almost beyond experiencing emotions, most likely because the awareness of self is not present. Mihaly himself is also very much aware of the potential negative impact of the flow. One philosopher once describes his own experience of flow: “When I get totally involved in the conversation, I am not aware of myself, the world around or the passage of time. Sometimes, I may become addictive to that existence, unwilling to cope with other daily routines of life, like forgetting dinner, and saying goodbye to my children.”
32．What is the purpose of Paragraph 1
A．To offer a general background of the topic. B．To make an overall outline for the passage.
C．To introduce the topic of the passage. D．To clarify the definition of the topic.
33．In which of the following experience can we enter "flow state"
A．Adopting a dog. B．Watching TV.
C．Playing the chess. D．Arguing with others.
34．What can we infer from the third paragraph
A．The state of flow is little conditional. B．Genius at normal schools often gets bored.
C．Challenges at high levels push us to the limit. D．Skills play the most important part in flow.
35．Why does the writer quote the philosopher's words
A．To show the drawbacks of the flow. B．To stress the value of self-awareness.
C．To underline the absence of emotions. D．To indicate the difficulty of enjoying the flow.

Good evening everyone. This is Mike. Tonight, I’d like to address myself to parents who are planning to send their children to university, but who might be concerned about the cost. There’s no doubt that university education is of great value. Not only will your children learn and grow, but according to the Department of Skills figures, on average someone with higher education earns 50% more in a lifetime than someone without. But in the last decade or so, the cost of getting a degree has more than doubled, and it looks as if things are going to get worse. University fees are rising steadily. If you thought funding a university education was beyond your reach, think again. University education can offer your children the opportunity of a lifetime.
If you’re a new parent, remember that the earlier you start saving, the less you have to pay every month and the greater your return.The National Union of Students evaluates that the average undergraduate needs about 25,000 to finance three years at university. Based on these figures, it is projected that when someone is at university in 20 years’ time, the cost will be approximately 40,000. But students can always get some kinds of part-time jobs during university years. Parents can save money by encouraging their children to study locally and live at home. Almost 80% of the costs students have to meet are living expenses.
