Passion, like life, is about the journey, not the destination. Kimberly and I have been planning a trip to Europe for a year. This was a/an 16 of ours. We took our friends Frantoise and Stein Eriksen with us.
The most exciting part of the journey started with a train ride that had some curveballs (不顺利). When we were trying to get on a 17 from Zurich to Croatia, we had gotten the departure time wrong and had to 18 around the station to make it in time. We had a 19 time finding a taxi to make it to the ship. We finally found a taxi and arrived an hour late. 20 , they waited for us.
Once we got onto the ship we 21 it was not like a large hotel with great service. It was a tight living place. The bathroom was very 22 . The shower was a spout (喷头) connected to the bathroom sink. You 23 it on and sprayed (喷洒) yourself, along with the rest of the room.
The week-long ship ride was full of 24 . There were people from different nationalities speaking 25 languages. We stopped on islands of all sizes. We bicycled 30-40 kilometers. Then there were high winds — so high that the buses couldn’t run because they might 26 over. So we took an expensive taxi, and 27 back to make our flight home.
While we loved the more predictable parts of the trip, our real passion was in the 28 —the missed rides, the 29 ship, the mixture of cultures, and even the 30 .
Sometimes people are so 31 that it scares them to do something different. 32 when they do get out of their comfort zone, the different experiences they once thought were 33 are what stand out. Mixing things up, trying new things, seeing something through another person’s eyes, being 34 to adventures — this is how you create 35 .
16. A. goal B. business C. secret D. chance
17. A. taxi B. ship C. train D. plane
18. A. walk B. hang C. look D. rush

22. A. clean B. modern C. small D. well-quipped
23. A. turned B. put C. made D. went
24. A. doubts B. adventures C. conflicts D. mistakes
25. A. same B. different C. familiar D. single
26. A. blow B. take C. hand D. get
27. A. held B. headed C. looked D. gave
28. A. peaceful B. unsettled C. dangerous D. unexpected
29. A. empty B. large C. overcrowded D. expensive

第二都分：阅读理解（共20小题, 每小题2.5分，满分50分）
A
With the rapid development of computer science, the Internet is changing quickly out of our expectations. In the past, we just had the Internet while now we have the Internet of Things (IoT物联网), which aims to get everything and everyone talking. Attaching sensors to “things”, such as cows, cars and refrigerators, and then assigning them unique IP addresses allow them to “talk” to the Internet. Of course, the IoT will involve much more than a handful of working company Cisco estimates that 50 billion Internet-connected devices and objects will be sending over data by 2020.
Specific Benefits The IoT will allow people to track things and processes like never before. Airplane manufacturers will be able to continuously track the condition of airplane parts, allowing them to do preventive maintenance and avoid costly downtime. Consumers could install smart meters in their homes to monitor energy usage and observe energy price changes in real time. That would allow people to adjust their habits and use electrical appliances during lower-priced hours.
Some Fears Some critics fear that the IoT could end up being a fashion that people lose interest in over time. Having Twitter feeds on refrigerator doors may sound cool at first, but the attraction could fade as quickly as the excitement over last year’s smartphone! Other critics are doubtful that companies making Internet-connected appliances will provide long-term software updates. If that happens, a refrigerator or washing machine that should last 10 years or more could last two or three due to the software that’s outdated.
A Positive Example Early this year, owners of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice alerting them to a charger plug needing to be fixed. Amazingly, owners of the Model S sat back while the company performed an “over the air” wireless update. Customers confirmed the update by tapping on the car’s touchscreen console to see that the Model S was running the latest software version. No trip to the dealer was required! Perhaps Tesla’s remote fix is a sign of things to come. Someday soon, people’s lives might become a lot more efficient and convenient thanks to the IoT.
36. How do researchers get everything and everyone talking
A. By establishing the IoT and launching a handful of sensors.
B. By sending people to track them day and night and collect useful data.
C. By communicating with them all the time through the IoT.
D. By connecting sensors with them and appointing them unique IP addresses.
37. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE
A. IoT can help people do preventive maintenance and save money.
B. IoT can help people monitor energy usage and observe price changes timely.
C. IoT can help people adjust their habits and use electrical appliances more wisely.
D. IoT can help people investigate things and update a lot of important data.
38. Besides its probably ending up being a fashion, what else do critics worry about the IoT
A. People will lose interest in it as quickly as the thrill over last year’s smartphone.
B. Whether related companies will provide long-term software updates or not.
C. Refrigerators and washing machines will be replaced by other devices in a few years.
D. The software provided by companies will be outdated easily and quickly.
39. According to the passage, when owners of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice, they ________.
A. just waited in the car while the maintenance is being done through wireless update
B. were required to go to the nearest 4S store to make some adjustments or repairs
C. could definitely depend on the IoT to send them the charger plug to be fixed
D. had to confirm the update with the help of the equipment provided by the company
40. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Craze is disappearing! B. It’s time to change!
C. It’s all connected! D. The Internet is coming!
B
Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.
Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where What Nigeria I had no idea. But I was about to find out.
After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.
Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

Styrofoam, or polystyrene, is a light-weight material, about 95 percent air, with very good insulation (隔热) properties, according to Earthsource.org. It is used in products from cups that keep your drinks hot or cold to packaging material that protects items during shipping.
With the above good features, Styrofoam still enjoys a bad reputation. It cannot be recycled without releasing dangerous pollution into the air. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says it is the fifth-largest creator of harmful waste.
But now the common worms which are usually disgusting can come to the rescue, specifically, mealworms. Scientists from the U.S. and China have discovered that mealworms can digest plastic. One mealworm can digest a pill-sized amount of plastic a day. Study co-author Wei-Min Wu says that in 24 hours, the plastic is turned into carbon dioxide.
Since Styrofoam has no nutrition at all, are the worms hurt by eating plastic Much to the scientists’ surprise, the study found that worms eating Styrofoam were as healthy as worms eating bran (谷糠).
The researchers will study the worm’s eating habits and digesting system, looking to copy the plastic breakdown but on a larger scale. Once the way can be put into practice, it will make a revolutionary difference to the disposal of plastic.
“Solving the issue of plastic pollution is important”, says Wu, a Stanford University environmental engineering instructor. After all, our earth is small and landfill space is becoming limited with too much garbage waiting to be dealt with, he says.
About 33-million tons of plastic are thrown away in the United States every year. Plastic plates, cups and containers take up 25 percent to 30 percent of space in America’s landfills. One Styrofoam cup takes more than I million years to recycle in a landfill, according to Cleveland State University.
46. What do we know about Styrofoam
A. It is harmful when recycled. B. It is a weightless material.
C. It can be used to cool drinks. D. It is usually used on ships.
47. What can we infer from the third paragraph
A. Mealworms are not bad in their nature.
B. Mealworms can rescue people’s lives.
C. Mealworms have amazing digesting power.
D. People misunderstood mealworms in the past.
48. Why will researchers study the worm’s eating habits and digesting system
A. To help develop their digesting ability.
B. To find ways to help mealworms grow larger.
C. To make sure of their safety after eating plastic.
D. To imitate their way of breaking down plastic.
49. In the future, plastic may be recycled ________.
A. by raising amounts of mealworms
B. without sending out dangerous pollution
C. by environmental engineering instructors
D. using a method inspired by eating mealworms
50. What’s the main idea of this passage
A. Styrofoam is widely used in daily life.
B. Plastic recycling may be no more a problem.
C. Mealworms are genius at eating plastic.
D. Plastic can be turned into carbon dioxide.
D
The concept of sharing goods and services with your community as a means of economic transaction is ancient. But thanks to the Internet, the concept now has global scale at the click of a button. It’s called the sharing economy. At its most basic, the sharing economy, also known as the collaborative or peer-to-peer economy, is about connecting individuals with resources to others that want them. It often works through lending or borrowing but can also involve the financial transaction of goods or services.
While the concept of sharing economy has been round for some time, the coming of apps and smartphone technology means that it’s easier for individuals to participate in peer-to-peer sharing transactions in real time.
There are many reasons why people participate in the sharing economy, but here are some of the biggest ones:
Finding temporary accommodation while travelling can be stressful, especially if you’re looking for something on short notice. Thanks to the sharing economy, there are a few popular services that connect people looking to rent out their apartment or home with travelers for as little as a day or two.
Everyone who’s ever driven in a major city knows that finding parking can be a real pain. Limited parking spaces and higher fees have contributed to tech-based services that can help you find and even reserve an available parking space. Whether you’re pressed for time or need to find somewhere to leave the car for a day or two while visiting an unfamiliar city, parking is one more headache the sharing economy is helping alleviate.
For pet owners, leaving town on vacation can be a stressful experience. Finding a dog sitter on short notice can be a problem, and leaving your pet at a kennel might leave you worried about their well-being when you should be relaxing. Luckily, a little tech-inspired collaboration can offer an elegant solution. Partnering pet owners with willing hosts can give your dog a vacation of their own, with plenty of TLC — “tender loving care” and space to roam in the home of a fellow pet lover.
Now it is true that apps empower you to exchange a variety of items with people from all over. Whether it’s a bike, some tools you need for project, or anything in between, collaborative economies make it easier to access the things you need without cash.
51. What do we know about the sharing economy from the first two paragraphs
A. The sharing economy is about connecting those with resources to those in need.
B. The sharing economy has been around since ancient times.
C. The sharing economy is brought by the coming of apps and smartphone technology.
D. The sharing economy only involves the financial transaction of goods or services.
52. How can the sharing economy help people find temporary accommodation while travelling
A. By checking the information on short notice.
B. By giving people much useful information.
C. By offering those in need some popular services.
D. By finding people who want to rent out their home.
53. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Improve. B. Handle. C. Disappear. D. Relieve.
54. What is probably the author’s attitude towards the sharing economy
A. Neutral. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Indifferent.
55. What’s the structure of the passage
A. B.
C. D.

第三部分：写作
第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Graduating from high school is a momentous occasion in any young person’s life, and many choose to throw a big party to celebrate those four years of hard work. However, Leanne Carrasco, a Texas teen, decided that she didn’t want a party for herself, and instead she chose to host a pizza party for the homeless in her community as a way to celebrate her big day.
The teen explained why she made a decision to think of others instead of herself on such a milestone occasion. She said, “Not a lot of people have the same options as me. There are a lot of people who need help. So I give it.”
Although Carrasco had volunteered at the Star of Hope’s Women and Family Development Center with her family throughout the years, this time she decided to enlist the help of friends and fellow students to pull off the party. Not only did Carrasco provide about 90 pizzas for the residents of the shelter but she and her friends also collected 400 personal care bags to give out to those in need
Clearly, Carrasco’s actions made an impact on the shelter residents and the administration. “The teens showed respect for these people.” Scott Arthur, a spokesman for Star of Hope said, “The residents saw this as a proof that people do care. To express their gratitude, they gave Carrasco a standing ovation (鼓掌欢呼) while many lined up to give the teenager a hug and personally thanked her for her thoughtfulness.”
All in all, Carrasco and her friends served lunch to about 200 people during their pizza party. “It was a magical day,” Arthur said, “It gives you a hope for the youth of today. They (the high schoolers) were able to think of other people.”
56. How did Carrasco celebrate her high school graduation day (no more than 12 words)
57. Why did Carrasco choose to think of others rather than herself (no more than 9 words)
58. What does the underlined word “enlist” in paragraph 3 probably mean (only I word)
59. How did residents of the shelter feel about Carrasco’s actions (no more than 6 words)
60. What would you like to do to celebrate your high school graduation day Please explain your reason. (no more than 20 words)

One possible version:
Dear Chris,
How is everything going Knowing that you are interested in the “Safety Education into Campus” event, I am glad to share it with you.
In response to the 16th National Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day, our school organized activities to raise our awareness of self-protection in the face of emergencies. First, an expert from a professional rescue team delivered a lecture on how to react when disasters strike us, such as fires and earthquakes, equipping us with basics of evacuation. Besides, we made brochures concerning the practical tips on dealing with disasters and handed them out on campus to further spread the safety knowledge among students.
I have prepared an English brochure for you. Hope it will help.
Yours,
Li Jin

Passion, like life, is about the journey, not the destination. Kimberly and I have been planning a trip to Europe for a year. This was a/an 16 of ours. We took our friends Frantoise and Stein Eriksen with us.
The most exciting part of the journey started with a train ride that had some curveballs (不顺利). When we were trying to get on a 17 from Zurich to Croatia, we had gotten the departure time wrong and had to 18 around the station to make it in time. We had a 19 time finding a taxi to make it to the ship. We finally found a taxi and arrived an hour late. 20 , they waited for us.
Once we got onto the ship we 21 it was not like a large hotel with great service. It was a tight living place. The bathroom was very 22 . The shower was a spout (喷头) connected to the bathroom sink. You 23 it on and sprayed (喷洒) yourself, along with the rest of the room.
The week-long ship ride was full of 24 . There were people from different nationalities speaking 25 languages. We stopped on islands of all sizes. We bicycled 30-40 kilometers. Then there were high winds — so high that the buses couldn’t run because they might 26 over. So we took an expensive taxi, and 27 back to make our flight home.
While we loved the more predictable parts of the trip, our real passion was in the 28 —the missed rides, the 29 ship, the mixture of cultures, and even the 30 .
Sometimes people are so 31 that it scares them to do something different. 32 when they do get out of their comfort zone, the different experiences they once thought were 33 are what stand out. Mixing things up, trying new things, seeing something through another person’s eyes, being 34 to adventures — this is how you create 35 .

第二都分：阅读理解（共20小题, 每小题2.5分，满分50分）
A
With the rapid development of computer science, the Internet is changing quickly out of our expectations. In the past, we just had the Internet while now we have the Internet of Things (IoT物联网), which aims to get everything and everyone talking. Attaching sensors to “things”, such as cows, cars and refrigerators, and then assigning them unique IP addresses allow them to “talk” to the Internet. Of course, the IoT will involve much more than a handful of working company Cisco estimates that 50 billion Internet-connected devices and objects will be sending over data by 2020.
Specific Benefits The IoT will allow people to track things and processes like never before. Airplane manufacturers will be able to continuously track the condition of airplane parts, allowing them to do preventive maintenance and avoid costly downtime. Consumers could install smart meters in their homes to monitor energy usage and observe energy price changes in real time. That would allow people to adjust their habits and use electrical appliances during lower-priced hours.
Some Fears Some critics fear that the IoT could end up being a fashion that people lose interest in over time. Having Twitter feeds on refrigerator doors may sound cool at first, but the attraction could fade as quickly as the excitement over last year’s smartphone! Other critics are doubtful that companies making Internet-connected appliances will provide long-term software updates. If that happens, a refrigerator or washing machine that should last 10 years or more could last two or three due to the software that’s outdated.
A Positive Example Early this year, owners of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice alerting them to a charger plug needing to be fixed. Amazingly, owners of the Model S sat back while the company performed an “over the air” wireless update. Customers confirmed the update by tapping on the car’s touchscreen console to see that the Model S was running the latest software version. No trip to the dealer was required! Perhaps Tesla’s remote fix is a sign of things to come. Someday soon, people’s lives might become a lot more efficient and convenient thanks to the IoT.
36. How do researchers get everything and everyone talking
A. By establishing the IoT and launching a handful of sensors.
B. By sending people to track them day and night and collect useful data.
C. By communicating with them all the time through the IoT.
D. By connecting sensors with them and appointing them unique IP addresses.
37. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE
A. IoT can help people do preventive maintenance and save money.
B. IoT can help people monitor energy usage and observe price changes timely.
C. IoT can help people adjust their habits and use electrical appliances more wisely.
D. IoT can help people investigate things and update a lot of important data.
38. Besides its probably ending up being a fashion, what else do critics worry about the IoT
A. People will lose interest in it as quickly as the thrill over last year’s smartphone.
B. Whether related companies will provide long-term software updates or not.
C. Refrigerators and washing machines will be replaced by other devices in a few years.
D. The software provided by companies will be outdated easily and quickly.
39. According to the passage, when owners of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice, they ________.
A. just waited in the car while the maintenance is being done through wireless update
B. were required to go to the nearest 4S store to make some adjustments or repairs
C. could definitely depend on the IoT to send them the charger plug to be fixed
D. had to confirm the update with the help of the equipment provided by the company
40. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Craze is disappearing! B. It’s time to change!
C. It’s all connected! D. The Internet is coming!
B
Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.
Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where What Nigeria I had no idea. But I was about to find out.
After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.
Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

Styrofoam, or polystyrene, is a light-weight material, about 95 percent air, with very good insulation (隔热) properties, according to Earthsource.org. It is used in products from cups that keep your drinks hot or cold to packaging material that protects items during shipping.
With the above good features, Styrofoam still enjoys a bad reputation. It cannot be recycled without releasing dangerous pollution into the air. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says it is the fifth-largest creator of harmful waste.
But now the common worms which are usually disgusting can come to the rescue, specifically, mealworms. Scientists from the U.S. and China have discovered that mealworms can digest plastic. One mealworm can digest a pill-sized amount of plastic a day. Study co-author Wei-Min Wu says that in 24 hours, the plastic is turned into carbon dioxide.
Since Styrofoam has no nutrition at all, are the worms hurt by eating plastic Much to the scientists’ surprise, the study found that worms eating Styrofoam were as healthy as worms eating bran (谷糠).
The researchers will study the worm’s eating habits and digesting system, looking to copy the plastic breakdown but on a larger scale. Once the way can be put into practice, it will make a revolutionary difference to the disposal of plastic.
“Solving the issue of plastic pollution is important”, says Wu, a Stanford University environmental engineering instructor. After all, our earth is small and landfill space is becoming limited with too much garbage waiting to be dealt with, he says.
About 33-million tons of plastic are thrown away in the United States every year. Plastic plates, cups and containers take up 25 percent to 30 percent of space in America’s landfills. One Styrofoam cup takes more than I million years to recycle in a landfill, according to Cleveland State University.
46. What do we know about Styrofoam
A. It is harmful when recycled. B. It is a weightless material.
C. It can be used to cool drinks. D. It is usually used on ships.
47. What can we infer from the third paragraph
A. Mealworms are not bad in their nature.
B. Mealworms can rescue people’s lives.
C. Mealworms have amazing digesting power.
D. People misunderstood mealworms in the past.
48. Why will researchers study the worm’s eating habits and digesting system
A. To help develop their digesting ability.
B. To find ways to help mealworms grow larger.
C. To make sure of their safety after eating plastic.
D. To imitate their way of breaking down plastic.
49. In the future, plastic may be recycled ________.
A. by raising amounts of mealworms
B. without sending out dangerous pollution
C. by environmental engineering instructors
D. using a method inspired by eating mealworms
50. What’s the main idea of this passage
A. Styrofoam is widely used in daily life.
B. Plastic recycling may be no more a problem.
C. Mealworms are genius at eating plastic.
D. Plastic can be turned into carbon dioxide.
D
The concept of sharing goods and services with your community as a means of economic transaction is ancient. But thanks to the Internet, the concept now has global scale at the click of a button. It’s called the sharing economy. At its most basic, the sharing economy, also known as the collaborative or peer-to-peer economy, is about connecting individuals with resources to others that want them. It often works through lending or borrowing but can also involve the financial transaction of goods or services.
While the concept of sharing economy has been round for some time, the coming of apps and smartphone technology means that it’s easier for individuals to participate in peer-to-peer sharing transactions in real time.
There are many reasons why people participate in the sharing economy, but here are some of the biggest ones:
Finding temporary accommodation while travelling can be stressful, especially if you’re looking for something on short notice. Thanks to the sharing economy, there are a few popular services that connect people looking to rent out their apartment or home with travelers for as little as a day or two.
Everyone who’s ever driven in a major city knows that finding parking can be a real pain. Limited parking spaces and higher fees have contributed to tech-based services that can help you find and even reserve an available parking space. Whether you’re pressed for time or need to find somewhere to leave the car for a day or two while visiting an unfamiliar city, parking is one more headache the sharing economy is helping alleviate.
For pet owners, leaving town on vacation can be a stressful experience. Finding a dog sitter on short notice can be a problem, and leaving your pet at a kennel might leave you worried about their well-being when you should be relaxing. Luckily, a little tech-inspired collaboration can offer an elegant solution. Partnering pet owners with willing hosts can give your dog a vacation of their own, with plenty of TLC — “tender loving care” and space to roam in the home of a fellow pet lover.
Now it is true that apps empower you to exchange a variety of items with people from all over. Whether it’s a bike, some tools you need for project, or anything in between, collaborative economies make it easier to access the things you need without cash.
51. What do we know about the sharing economy from the first two paragraphs
A. The sharing economy is about connecting those with resources to those in need.
B. The sharing economy has been around since ancient times.
C. The sharing economy is brought by the coming of apps and smartphone technology.
D. The sharing economy only involves the financial transaction of goods or services.
52. How can the sharing economy help people find temporary accommodation while travelling
A. By checking the information on short notice.
B. By giving people much useful information.
C. By offering those in need some popular services.
D. By finding people who want to rent out their home.
53. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Improve. B. Handle. C. Disappear. D. Relieve.
54. What is probably the author’s attitude towards the sharing economy
A. Neutral. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Indifferent.
55. What’s the structure of the passage
A. B.
C. D.

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Graduating from high school is a momentous occasion in any young person’s life, and many choose to throw a big party to celebrate those four years of hard work. However, Leanne Carrasco, a Texas teen, decided that she didn’t want a party for herself, and instead she chose to host a pizza party for the homeless in her community as a way to celebrate her big day.
The teen explained why she made a decision to think of others instead of herself on such a milestone occasion. She said, “Not a lot of people have the same options as me. There are a lot of people who need help. So I give it.”
Although Carrasco had volunteered at the Star of Hope’s Women and Family Development Center with her family throughout the years, this time she decided to enlist the help of friends and fellow students to pull off the party. Not only did Carrasco provide about 90 pizzas for the residents of the shelter but she and her friends also collected 400 personal care bags to give out to those in need
Clearly, Carrasco’s actions made an impact on the shelter residents and the administration. “The teens showed respect for these people.” Scott Arthur, a spokesman for Star of Hope said, “The residents saw this as a proof that people do care. To express their gratitude, they gave Carrasco a standing ovation (鼓掌欢呼) while many lined up to give the teenager a hug and personally thanked her for her thoughtfulness.”
All in all, Carrasco and her friends served lunch to about 200 people during their pizza party. “It was a magical day,” Arthur said, “It gives you a hope for the youth of today. They (the high schoolers) were able to think of other people.”
56. How did Carrasco celebrate her high school graduation day (no more than 12 words)
57. Why did Carrasco choose to think of others rather than herself (no more than 9 words)
58. What does the underlined word “enlist” in paragraph 3 probably mean (only I word)
59. How did residents of the shelter feel about Carrasco’s actions (no more than 6 words)
60. What would you like to do to celebrate your high school graduation day Please explain your reason. (no more than 20 words)

Dear Chris,
How is everything going Knowing that you are interested in the “Safety Education into Campus” event, I am glad to share it with you.
In response to the 16th National Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day, our school organized activities to raise our awareness of self-protection in the face of emergencies. First, an expert from a professional rescue team delivered a lecture on how to react when disasters strike us, such as fires and earthquakes, equipping us with basics of evacuation. Besides, we made brochures concerning the practical tips on dealing with disasters and handed them out on campus to further spread the safety knowledge among students.
I have prepared an English brochure for you. Hope it will help.
Yours,
Li Jin
