Jennifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor’s degree.
Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition(学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.
Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jennifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68 year old mother helped take care of the children at times.
Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed(牺牲) to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. “Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers，” she says.

Climate change is perhaps the key issue of our time. Often, however, it is presented to us as being so abstract that it seems impossibly distant. For those of you looking for something a little more concrete, a new report suggests that the effects of climate change may significantly affect coffee.
The report, put out by The Climate Institute, describes the effects of climate change on various coffee growing nations and the resultant effects on the plants and those who grow them.
Coffee Arabica plants, which produce 70% of all commercial coffee, can be adversely affected by even a half degree change in typical weather conditions. This sensitivity to temperature puts the plant at increased risk of the effects of climate change.
In Central America the average temperature has risen by a full degree Celsius since 1960．In Ethiopia the average temperature has increased by l．3 degrees. This increase is enough to have notable effects on the plants. In Tanzania the productivity per hectare of coffee has fallen by half since the 1960s due to changes in temperature.
Indeed, studies claim that by 2050 the area of the world suitable for growing coffee will be cut by half. Coffee production is likely to then be pushed to higher elevations(海拔) to take advantage of lower temperatures, but this will not be enough to make up for lost lowland areas.
Coffee is the second most traded goods by developing nations, and the inability of producer nations to export it could cause dramatic chain reactions in their economies. Millions of people make a living in the production, processing, transport, and sale of coffee；their livelihoods would stand to take a blow as growing areas decrease and prices rise.
As the temperature keeps rising, your cup of coffee will become much more expensive，and it may also carry an aftertaste bitterer than usual, for all those workers in the coffee belt left without the means to make a living as conditions worsen. Not only that, but the economic effects will cost the West millions in increased foreign aid.
( )8．What does the underlined word “adversely” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean
A．Slightly. B．Temporarily.
C．Harmfully. D．Gradually.
( )9．Why will people have to grow coffee in highland areas
A．To adapt to the change of temperature.
B．To increase the quality of the products.
C．To reduce the cost of coffee production.
D．To get access to water supply more easily.
( )10．What conclusion can we draw from the last two paragraphs
A．The rich will get richer and the poor poorer.
B．Small changes may have large effects in general.
C．Developed countries ought to aid poor countries.
D．Coffee trade will eventually disappear in the world.
( )11．How does the author feel about the future of coffee production
A．Cautious. B．Worried.
C．Unconcerned. D．Hopeful.
D
Every year, the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre in San Francisco fills up with dance lovers. They come to take in experimental works of art that all have one thing in common—hip hop. This weekend the San Francisco International Hip Hop DanceFest, the mission of which is to encourage the evolution of hip hop dance culture while preserving its legacy, celebrates 20 years of presenting exciting hip hop performances.
Each DanceFest has diversity of style and group size, and a balance of local and out of town companies. The festival has drawn impressive international talents.
In fact, outstanding technical dance skills are only a basic standard that the festival organizers are looking for. They look for much more groups or solo artists that think outside the box. Artists that use hip hop in a theatrical way or use it to address social issues are sure to stand out. For instance, the 2010 performance “Tables and Chairs” served to highlight the negative effects of alcoholism on society, warning people against the addiction to alcohol.
It would be terribly irresponsible not to mention the founder, Micaya, in any introduction to DanceFest. A popular hip hop dance instructor, Micaya began producing high energy dance shows in the heart of San Francisco in 1993．Students love her classes so much that a San Francisco newspaper once called her “Best Dance Instructor”．
However, Micaya was concerned about the doubtful reputation of hip hop. She made it her goal to get hip hop the same recognition and respect as other dance forms. In 1999 she started DanceFest. It was the first festival of its kind to honor the creativity of hip hop dance in a non competitive atmosphere. To Micaya, competitive formats leave little room for the magic that comes from true expression. One review said, Micaya’s festival challenges us “to reconsider just how diverse... and embracing hip hop can now be. ” Indeed, Micaya brings out the best in dancers, and has given San Francisco one of its finest festivals.
( )12．Why is the San Francisco International Hip Hop DanceFest held
A．To attract international talents.
B．To encourage people to play hip hop.
C．To show the diversity of hip hop style.
D．To promote the development of hip hop dance culture.
( )13．What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Handle. B．Discuss.
C．Recognize. D．Record.
( )14．What can we infer about Micaya
A．She was a popular hip hop composer in 1993．
B．She made hip hop dance less diverse in 1999．
C．She popularizes hip hop dance through the DanceFest.
D．She contributes to the increasing competition of hip hop dance.
( )15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．The rise and fall of Hip Hop
B．A unique Hip Hop DanceFest
C．A famous Hip Hop Dancer
D．The development of Hip Hop DanceFest

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is known to us all that thinking is a good thing. However, some people don’t do it enough, while some people overthink everything. If you’re an overthinker, it can be exhausting running through all the possibilities of everything. It’s not good that the what ifs run your life and you are trapped. __16__Here are some signs that you are an overthinker, even if you don’t feel you are.
◆__17__
Why didn’t the girl look at me And why did Peter look away so fast What does it all mean When you’re an overthinker, you tend to find meaning in the world around you. It’s helpful to remind yourself that things mean the meaning you give them.
◆You think more than you do.
Sometimes you think so much that you don’t end up doing anything. You weigh the choices, decide which is the best, and compare it with a new choice. You end up doing nothing. __18__
◆You find it difficult to let things go.
When you’ve invested a lot of time and energy into something, it can be hard to let it go when it isn’t working. __19__ The more you think about something, the more it can eat away at you.
◆You want to get everything right.
You might be a perfectionist. You always do your best. But when you don’t get everything right, you seriously blame yourself. By recognizing that this can be a strength as well as a weakness, you should know that you simply can’t get everything right, despite your best efforts.
__20__ Remind yourself that you can balance your level of overthinking with more doing. You can even teach someone else who underthinks!
A．You look for meaning in everything.
B．Can any of the above signs be found on you
C．You’re proud of the act that you’re always thinking.
D．You assume that others know what you’re thinking about.
E．It’s even worse when you’re unaware that you are just like this.
F．Remember that, instead of just thinking, it’s equally important to act.
G．You may continue thinking about it even when you believe you have already let it go.

13．A 词义猜测题。画线词一句中提到“用嘻哈乐”(use hip hop)，“社会问题”(social issues)，下一句还举例说明2010年表演的《桌椅》就用于强调酗酒对社会造成的负面影响，警告人们不要过度饮酒。从这些信息中可以判断作者想表达的是“用嘻哈乐解决社会问题”。handle意为“处理；解决”，符合题意。
14．C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Micaya was concerned about the doubtful reputation of hip hop. She made it her goal to get hip hop the same recognition and respect as other dance forms. ”可知，米开雅为嘻哈当时不太好的名声感到担忧，她的目标就是为嘻哈争取到和其他舞蹈一样的肯定与尊重，因此在1999年创办了嘻哈舞蹈节，想通过舞蹈节使嘻哈音乐舞蹈更受欢迎，这与C项内容吻合。
15．B 标题归纳题。文章开头介绍了旧金山国际嘻哈舞蹈节20周年纪念日，并对该国际嘻哈舞蹈节的流行程度以及什么样的舞蹈可以脱颖而出进行说明。还提到了舞蹈教练米开雅创办嘻哈舞蹈节的原因，因此全文是围绕嘻哈舞蹈节展开的，故B项“独特的嘻哈舞蹈节”作为标题最为合适。A项无中生有，文章没有介绍嘻哈乐的兴衰； C项曲解文意，文章不是介绍嘻哈舞蹈节的创办人；D项以偏概全，最后一段虽然提到了嘻哈舞蹈节的成立，但不是主要部分。
【语篇解读】【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要对过度思虑的一些迹象进行了简要的说明。
16．E 根据上文中的“It’s not good that the what ifs run your life and you are trapped. ”可知，空处应是说明更深一层的坏处， E项“It’s even worse when you’re unaware that you are just like this. ”可承接上文。
17．A 根据文章结构及空处所在的位置可知，空处为本段的小标题，且根据本段的内容及关键词meaning可知，A项能概括本段内容。
18．F 根据本段的小标题 “You think more than you do. ”及空处前一句可推知，空处是作者针对该段描述的现象所给出的建议，故F项符合语境。
19．G 根据本段的小标题 “You find it difficult to let things go. ”及空后一句“The more you think about something, the more it can eat away at you. ”可推知，G项符合语境。其中thinking about为同义复现。
20．B 与第二段“Here are some signs that you are an overthinker, even if you don’t feel you are. ”呼应可知，B项“Can any of the above signs be found on you？”符合语境。
