This year’s World Food Prize will honor two leaders of hunger-fighting groups based ?in the United States. The winners are David Beckmann of Bread for the World and Jo Luck of Heifer International. They will share the prize of 250,000 dollars. The World Food Prize usually goes to researchers or top policy officials. This is the first time it will recognize the work of nongovernmental groups.
Heifer International provides donated animals and training to farmers in 50 countries. Jo Luck remains president until next year. Under her leadership, the group’s budget grew from less than 10,000,000 dollars to more than 130,000,000 dollars. Jo Luck, “People pass on their gifts of not just animals but also gifts of training and leadership. We have seen cases where we have been gone 5 and 10 years and we go back and they have developed roads and built schools, and they have other communities receiving the animals and the training. You just give them those
resources and that training and opportunity, and you cannot hold them back.” She told the story of a woman from a poor village in Zimbabwe. A family member helped send her to school in the United States with earnings from a donated milk goat. She received a doctoral degree. Jo Luck, “That is what a goat did. That is one example. The animal is only the catalyst(催化剂). That is the beginning of many other things that follow.”
David Beckmann became president of Bread for the World in 1991. He is an economist and a Christian clergyman(牧师). Bread for the World organizes people from religious and non-religious groups to write, call and visit members of Congress(国会). The purpose is to support measures to improve the lives of the poor. David Beckmann points to big increase in American development assistance. He said, “I think that would not have happened without the support of hundreds of thousands of people and churches that are part of Bread for the World and that keep the pressure on their members of Congress。” The prize committee also credited his efforts with helping to increase aid to needy families in the United States.

Passenger pigeons once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers.Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks(群) so large that they darkened the sky for hours.
It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons – a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be a mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.
Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.
By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans’ need for wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.
In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons, but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914.
24. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons _______.
A. were the biggest bird in the world B. lived mainly in the south of America
C. did great harm to the natural environment D. were the largest bird population in the US
25. The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeons’ ______.
A. escape B. ruin
C. liberation D. evolution
26. What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?
A. To seek pleasure. B. To save other birds.
C. To make money. D. To protect crops.
27. What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?
A. It was ignored by the public. B. It was declared too late.
C. It was unfair. D. It was strict.
C
The bed should be reserved as a place for sleep, but people tend to read an iPad a lot in bed before they go to sleep.
Charles Czeisler, a professor at Harvard Medical School, and his colleagues got a small group of people for an experiment. For five days in a row, the people read either a paper book or an iPad for four hours before sleep. Their sleep patterns were monitored all night. Before and after each trial period, the people took hourly blood tests to paint a day-long picture of just how much melatonin (褪黑激素) was in their blood at any given time.
When subjects read on the iPad as compared to the paper books, they reported feeling less sleepy at night and less active the following morning. People also took longer to fall asleep on the iPad nights, and the blood tests showed that their melatonin secretion (分泌) was delayed by an hour and a half.
The researchers conclude in today’s journal article that given the rise of e-readers and the increasingly widespread use of e-things among children and adolescents, more research into the long-term consequences of these devices on health and safety is urgently needed. Czeisler and colleagues go on, in the research paper, to note: “Reading an iPad in bed may increase cancer risk.”
However, software has been developed that can reduce some of the blue light from the screens of phones and computers according to time of day, and there are also glasses that are made to filter (过滤) short wavelengths. While they seem like a logical solution for the nighttime tech users, it needs more research.
28. In Charles Czeislers experiment, all the subjects were asked to______.
A. sit in a row and receive the strict tests? B. have their sleep patterns observed all night
C. read a paper book and an iPad at the same time D. have their blood tested per hour during the trial
29. The third paragraph tells us the iPad readers were likely to____________.
A. feel less sleepy and tired in the day ? ? B. fall asleep more easily after reading
C. become less energetic the next morning? D. have a lot more melatonin secretion
30. The special software recently developed can______.
A. remove the blue light from your devices completely
B. help prevent eyes being harmed by short wavelength
C. weaken the harm done by doing nighttime e-reading
D. be used in all the e-things widely and safely
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. No e-reading in bed before sleep B. New software for night e-readers
C. Wrong behaviors before bedtime? D. No games on iPad in bed
D
A recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not surprise anyone who has seen the doggy parlors(客厅) where loved pets rest. Are Americans unique in treating their little friends in this way? No, the English, too, pay more attention to their pets.
This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods, which often contain more vitamins than human food. They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, to say nothing of veterinary bills or animal furniture. It is difficult not to feel angry about this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty, so it is not unusual for me to get hot under collar when I read an old man left all his money to his dog instead of his children.
There are a variety of reasons why I find pets-raising alarming. They cause physical problems. An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets. Many people find this funny, but in a number of large cities it is a major problem. Animals can cause disease, too. It is the threat of rabies — a disease with no known cure.
Another problem is the carelessness of pet owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat, and they continually push their mothers and fathers until they get one. It is only when the “sweet little thing” has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on “Rover” or “Bonzo”. Then they just abandon it. As a result, they are allowed to run free. English farmers lose hundreds of sheep a year, killed by someone’s pet and you must have read of children being hurt by some pets of their own.
Lastly, I would only suggest that we have got our priorities wrong and that something should be done about it. In my view, it’s time we stopped being sentimental about pets. I can see no reason why we should get upset when animals are cut up for medical experiments. This will lead us to discovering cures for serious human diseases, then I say, “keep cutting!”
32. The doggy parlors are mentioned in the 1st paragraph to show ___.
A. where Americans keep their pets B. what costly lives the pets are living
C. why children love their pets so much D. how much pets depend on their masters
33. In the second paragraph "to get hot under the collar" probably means ___.
A. getting quite hot B. feeling overwhelmingly angry
C. becoming excited D. receiving a fashionable shirt
34. According to the author, in which field can animals be most useful?
A. Pet. B. Food. C. Medicine. D. Sports.
35. What is author’s attitude towards pets-raising?
A. Pitiful. B. Neutral. C. Opposed. D. Supportive.
第二节 七选五（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s normal to wake briefly during the night. 36 But if you’re waking up during the night and having trouble falling back asleep, the following tips may help.
Stay out of your head. The key to getting back to sleep is continuing to prepare your body for sleep, so remain in bed in a relaxed position. Hard as it may be, try not to stress over the fact that you’re awake, because that very stress and anxiety encourage your body to stay awake. 37
38 If you are finding it hard to fall back asleep, try a relaxation technique such as visualization(想象), or deep breathing, which can be done without even getting out of bed. Remind yourself that although they’re not a replacement for sleep, rest and relaxation still help refresh your body.
Do a quiet, non-stimulating activity. If you’ve been awake for more than 15 minutes, try getting out of bed and doing a quiet, non-stimulating activity, such as reading a book. Keep the lights dim so as not to think that it’s time to wake up. 39 A light snack might relax you, but be careful not to eat so much that your body begins to expect a meal at that of the day.
40 If you wake during the night feeling anxious about something, make a brief note of it on paper and delay worrying about it until the next day when you are fresh and it will be easier to resolve.
A. Make relaxation your goal, not sleep.
B. Put off worries and troubles.
C. Use a flashlight to go to the bathroom at night.
D. In fact, a good sleeper won’t even remember it.
E (涂AB). Also avoid screens of any kind-computers, TVs, cell phones, iPads.
F (涂AC). You’ll be much more productive and creative after a good night’s rest.
G (涂AD). A good way to stay out of your head is to focus on the feeling in your body.

The town I live in is about to put cameras at all traffic lights to catch people who run red lights. It 41 me of how many people I've seen who take the yellow light as a signal to go faster. I also can't 42 why people don't move when the traffic light has turned green. Above all, there are those 43 situations in which someone doesn't even 44 that the light is red, and just keeps going. That is why so many accidents happen! All these situations make me 45_ about the purpose of traffic lights.
However, it's even more 46 to imagine letting people make their own 47 at crowded crossroads. Do the biggest cars get to go first? Who decides who goes next? 48 I guess I do like the idea of a system to 49 traffic. And I'll do my best to 50 the traffic rules: to go, to be 51 , and to stop when I'm supposed to.
It occurs to me that my 52 have done much the same for me in 53 teaching me how to live. They have given me many 54 lights: to get along well with others, to listen and talk to them, to help others, and to live with 55 and purpose. They have also given me some red lights so that my 56 doesn’t go astray (误入歧途): not to be greedy, to keep my temper, and to control my desires. And there also have been some yellow caution lights: to watch how much I drink, to keep control of my behavior, and to 57 school regularly and work hard.
If I obey these rules, my life will be as 58 as it can be. Just as I'm wise to pay attention to the traffic lights when I'm walking 59 the street, I'm wise to pay attention to the "life 60 " given to me by my parents.

Welcome to Donate for Project Hope
In order to meet the arrival of Children's Day, Our school called on the students to make some donations for the Project Hope.
Project Hope is a good way to promote the education in the rural areas, but it is far from being sufficient. By now, only a small portion /part of the children benefit from it.
As is known to all, China has the largest population in the world and most of them live in the countryside. Since the economic conditions there are rather poor, many families, especially in the remote areas, cannot afford to send their children to school, many children have to drop from school.
The "Project Hope" is aimed at solving this problem so that every child of school age can receive regular education.
It doesn’t matter how much you’re going to donate .One hundred yuan will help such a child finish
