After a few days of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) this though, whenever I saw people I had served they smiled and 　29　 me, saying how it had brightened up their 　30　 that we hadn’t just put food on their plates. We 　31　 got an award for the 　32　 servers at the end!
We did other things ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that weren’t our 　33　 too, like cleaning up, or washing dishes. At first people were confused when we did this, then they 　34　 they were getting a favor without 　35　 anything in return and they would be thankful to us.

第二部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
One day when I wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s 15 years old, I had some friends over to hang out. While we were making food in the kitchen, my father came in. He walked over to me, placed his beef next to my thick one and said, “Jesus Christ, Courtney, your beef is bigger than mine. You don’t need to eat; you’re already fat enough.” Then he walked out…laughing.
Nasty comments about ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) my physical appearance were nothing new, of course. Something inside me gave in to his idea that my legs were unacceptable, and that became the last day that I ever willingly wore shorts until I was 30 years old. For the next 15 years, I spent summer after summer—most of which were sticky (湿热得难受的), unbearably hot Florida summers—roasting in long pants.
But then I met Rag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en Chastain, and one day, over a sushi lunch, she changed everything. I couldn’t believe that this woman who, like myself, weighed almost 300 pounds was so vibrant (充满生气的) and happy in her own skin. I listened as she shared her own journey to recovery and self-love. She talked about how amazing our bodies are, just by virtue of the things they do every day, without having to be told or supervised—like breathing, pumping blood to every cell and vital organ, blinking and walking.
Walking! I was sudd ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )enly aware of how incredibly foolish I’d been for so long. There are people who are born without legs, or who lack properly working legs, or who lose their legs, and I’d been hiding my perfectly strong, healthy, beautiful legs in shame because I had allowed someone to convince me that they weren’t good enough…. The next day, I bought three pairs of shorts and a sundress and spent the entire summer letting my legs see the sun and feel the breeze.
The next time a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nyone feels compelled to comment about your body in a negative way, look them straight in the eye, smile and say, “If what you see bothers you so much, feel free to practice the ancient art of looking somewhere else.” That’s a Ragen’s original, but I don’t think she’ll mind if you steal it.
36. How did the aut ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hor probably feel when she heard her father’s words
A. Delighted. B. Puzzled. C. Amused. D. Hurt.
37. Why did the author wear long pants in the next 15 years
A. She was ashamed of her legs. B. She was afraid of coldness.
C. She didn’t like shorts. D. Florida has cool summers.
38. What do we know about Ragen Chastain from the third paragraph 2-1-c-n-j-y
A. She likes to make comments on others.
B. She has succeeded in losing weight.
C. Once she wasn’t content with her body image.
D. She had never cared about her body image.
39. In the last paragraph, the author intends to ____.21*cnjy*com
A. show her respect ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )for Ragen B. ask us to learn Ragen’s attitude
C. share Rage ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n’s remarks with us D. ask us to ignore others’ advice
40. The underlined word “Nasty” in Paragraph 2 probably means “____”.
A. Careless. B. Rude. C. Naughty. D. Kind.
B
Teachers got angry ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )over education cuts in the Irish Republic and they accused the government of breaking its election promises. Teachers’ meeting in Cork angrily rejected the government’s so-called Croke Park proposals on education.
The proposals inclu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ded additional unpaid hours, increment freezes (冻结盈余) and pay cuts. A school president Anne Fay was forced to calm down the teachers during an address by Minister for Education Ruairi Quinn to reply the questions from delegates.
More than 800 primar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y teachers attending the annual conference heard that public services and public servants have been battling against a government determined to make its citizens bear the cost of the country’s economic crisis, while speculators (投机者) who had caused the economic crash sought shelter from the consequences of their irresponsibility behind bankruptcy (破产) proceedings.
Ms Fay told delegates ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that schools were experiencing the tightest squeeze for decades. In her speech, she said there was increasing anger among teachers about education cutbacks in primary schools and there are more pupils but relatively fewer teachers. www.21-cn-jy.com
Operating costs ar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e rising but government funding is falling. “There are more special needs pupils but teaching hours are being cut back. There are more disadvantaged children but supports are being reduced or, in some cases, eliminated altogether,” she said. Ms Fay said there was anger at investment in education. It became another discredited (败坏名声的) election promise, rather than a real priority to return Ireland to economic growth and social equality. She also accused the government of refusing to get the wealthy to pay their fair share through taxation. 21·世纪*教育网
“Instead, they cham ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pion a policy of targeting cuts at public servants and public services,” she added. Elsewhere, the majority of 500 teachers meeting at the Association of Secondary Teachers in Ireland convention in Wexford voted mostly to reject the Croke Park II pay deal. The Teachers Union of Ireland also opened its conference in Galway with a special demand on Croke Park, even though its members had already voted against the deal.
41. What does this passage mainly tell us
A. Teachers’ protest against education cuts.
B. The government’s policies on education.
C. Educational conferences in the Irish Republic.
D. The effects of the economic crisis.
42. Teachers protested against the Croke Park proposals because ____.
A. the teachers demanded a pay rise
B. the proposals are of no good to teachers
C. the proposals suggest increasing working days
D. the government didn’t carry out their promise
43. What’s Ms Fay’s attitude towards the teachers
A. Angry. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Sympathetic.
44. From the fifth paragraph we see that ____.
A. education is experiencing a difficult period
B. the government will place more tax on rich people
C. more funds will be raised for education
D. the number of teachers will be reduced
45. The underline ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d word “champion” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.
A. hate B. object C. support D. avoid
C
In a billion years’ time, what will be left of human civilization
The pyramids will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )have long ago crumbled to dust and our technology rusted to nothing. Perhaps we will have found a new life among the stars or reached a higher state of human civilization—especially if the plan to send a couple to Mars by 2018 can come to pass. Maybe Morlocks or apes will rule the planet. The Earth might be a wasteland—destroyed through conflict, environmental catastrophe or the failure to spot an asteroid (小行星) before it destroys us thoroughly.
But not to worry. W ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hatever happens to us, something of our legacy will remain—if not on Earth then in space. Around 36,000 km above the planet, the long-dead Echostar XVI satellite will continue to orbit, a memorial to humanity. On board, a 12cm-diameter disc is embossed (刻录) with 100 pictures called the “Last Pictures” representing our civilization—images of human endeavor (努力), innovation, culture and cruelty, pictures of the natural world and the changes we have brought to it. Or as the artist behind the “Last Pictures” project, Trevor Paglen, puts it: “A collection of images will haunt the Earth.”
The Echostar X ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )VI communications satellite was launched in November, 2012 and was designed to remain operational for around 15 years, beaming (播送) TV pictures to and from the United States. It is effectively locked in place, above Earth. It will keep its position until it becomes consumed by the Sun.
The selected ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pictures now orbiting above us range from early human cave art to the earthrise picture captured by the Apollo 8 astronauts during their mission to the Moon. They also include the Great Wall of China, a steam train and an atom bomb explosion. There are also images where you only need a little imagination to picture pain and suffering. But there is also humor.
“The images in the ‘L ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ast Pictures’ are primarily inspired by thinking of uncertainty about the future,” explains Paglen who spent five years searching through tens of thousands of images to select one hundred images, “trying to think through the ways in which humans have produced crises over and over, whether that’s humanitarian (人道主义) crises or ecological crises and thinking about our uncertain relationship with ideas about progress.”
46. We know from the passage that Trevor Paglen ____.
A. didn’t take part in the “Last Pictures” project
B. is passive about the future of humans
C. planned the project and selected the pictures
D. wrote his words on the body of the satellite
47. The underlined phrase “come to pass” probably means ____.
A. give up B. get out C. run out D. take place
48. What can we learn about the Echostar XVI satellite
A. It will be destroyed by the sun in fifteen years.
B. It will still move in space after it doesn’t work.
C. It has recorded the changes of the natural world.
D. It is designed to get in touch with aliens in space.
49. Which of the follo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wing statements about the “Last Pictures” is true
A. They will be finished and sent into space in 2018.
B. They are used to imagine humans’ good future.
C. They are intended to preserve humans’ long-term legacy. 【版权所有：21教育】
D. They can warn people of the changes of the natural world.
50. What can be the best title for this passage
A. Sending postcards to aliens
B. The future of human civilization
C. The project of the Echostar XVI
D. Where humans will go in the future
D
When thinking of endan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gered species, most people will automatically imagine the large mammals: giant panda bears, rhinos or tigers. However, there are hundreds of smaller species who find themselves on the endangered list. The task of preserving these species and increasing their numbers sufficiently to remove them from the endangered species list falls to citizens; and fish hatcheries (孵化场) would seem to be such a method to achieve this.21·cn·jy·com
The aim of fis ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h hatcheries in aiding endangered species is to breed (繁殖) individuals in a controlled environment for release into the wild in order to increase the number of individuals in the natural population. There are two types of programs with very different focuses. An augmentation (增多) program seeks to increase the natural population for commercial use. The hatchery fish are not intended for integration into the wild population, and generally the fish that are reared (饲养) in the hatchery become the brood stock for the next generation. Breeding fish in these hatcheries uses a limited genetic pool, which creates a genetic drift from the wild population and limits the genetic variance in comparison with the wild population.
Programs that fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cus specifically on conservation are more beneficial to endangered species. These programs use adults from both the natural population and hatchery origins. The juveniles are kept in a proper facility before they are released into the wild population to continue their life cycle in connection with the wild population. These hatcheries focus on the long-term increase in the numbers and the fitness of the fish instead of the short-term increase in numbers. There is a constant need for monitoring of the genetic and ecological impact of the program to ensure that the hatchery-bred fish do not replace the natural fish.
The research is still ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) ongoing, and more is being learned about the impact of fish hatcheries on the natural population and what can be done to minimize the negative effects. With an increase in the awareness of the effects of hatcheries on the natural population, more steps can be taken to reduce this impact and the conservation efforts will improve.
51. What is the main purpose of fish hatcheries
A. To increase the number of fish for commercial use.
B. To raise people’s awareness of endangered fish.
C. To increase the number of endangered fish species.
D. To help endangered fish survive in the wild.
52. What do we know about fish reared from the augmentation program
A. They are usually released into the wild.
B. They become the brood stock for the next generation.
C. They are mixed with the wild population.
D. They are not different from the wild population.
53. Which of the fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )llowing is true about programs focusing on conservation
A. They focus on the fitness of fish.
B. They are carried out in a natural environment.
C. They use only adults from natural population.
D. They produce perfect natural fish.
54. We learn from the last paragraph that ____.
A. fish hatcheries have some negative ecological impacts
B. fish hatcheries have a good effect on natural population 　　21*cnjy*com
C. we know little about the impacts of fish hatcheries
D. the negative impacts of fish hatcheries cannot be reduced
55. The passage is mainly about ____.
A. how to increase the number of endangered fish species
B. how to reduce the negative effects of fish hatcheries
C. how to protect the endangered species
D. how fish hatcheries help endangered fish species

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的词数要求）。
[1] When I was li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ttle I wondered why neighborhoods didn’t plant fruit trees to build community, and promote partnership. As adults, my husband and I decided the right way to answer this question was to do it ourselves, so we planted fruit trees in our front yard, such as strawberries, pomegranates
(石榴), and oranges.
[2] Every crop b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rought us closer to neighbors and strangers. The food was an excuse to communicate. Kids in the neighborhood, including our sons, learned patience when waiting for the trees to produce fruit. When we had extra, we’d share it. Our first-ever crop of pomegranates had ripened. But at harvest, they were all missing, stolen in the middle of the night. We were shocked, sad and angry. Friends gave advice on how to react. One even suggested we post a sign to curse (咒骂) thieves who stole our fruit.
[3] And suddenly, t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he lesson was clear. We did need a sign. But our sign would encourage sharing and community. Last fall, we had a larger crop of pomegranates. We posted a sign that read, “If you’d like one, please knock and introduce yourself and we’d be happy to cut one off the tree for you. Cutting saves the branches and promotes future growth so we can continue to share pomegranates with new friends like you. Thanks. The Green Family.”
[4] This year, we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) won the Kindness Contest award, so we planted three new fruit trees — a peach, a pear and a plum. Before they fruit, I'll add a big sign to the yard to encourage sharing. I am happy to have the opportunity to provide an edible (有东西可吃的) front yard for others.
