“OK，” I thought to myself, “this is where I should have changed.”
My best opportunity came a few days later when I saw a man __41__ by himself waiting for the library to open, so I sat down next to him and began a __42__. It was difficult to get started, and even when I had to say goodbye, almost every __43__ from my new friend had a tone (语气) of doubt in it.And who could blame him?
People aren't used to making an __44__ chat with a stranger. But a change, no matter how __45__ it is needed, doesn't just happen. It takes people like us to make it possible.

【全文大意】文章通过作者记叙自己在社区图书馆的经历，来劝告人们通过尝试与陌生人交流来增进彼此之间的关系，符合了当下“和谐社会”的大环境。21·cn·jy·com
【解析】36. A 考查动词。根据文义，作者在思考了社区内人与人之间距离逐渐疏远这一现象后，决定改变之前的行为。值得注意的是，后文即对作者的行为进行描述，第三段的最后一词即为change，符合前后对应原则。21·世纪*教育网
【解析】37. D 考查名词。句意：一天早上，当我在社区图书馆的时候，我的……出现了。可以通过理解得出答案，但也可以简单地按照完形名词解题法寻找重复，第四段第三个词即为答案。
【解析】38. B 考查动词。对应后文pick up，可知小女孩之前是书掉落，选dropped。
【解析】39. C 考查短语。根据文义，作者后来发现没人帮助小女孩，说明作者必定重新返回原来的地方。
【解析】40. C 考查动词。前文someone else和后文的no one对应，所以动作也应该对应，所以选help。
【解析】41. A 考查动词。后文so是解题点，说明作者的动作也和一位男士的动作一致，故选sitting。
【解析】42. D 考查名词。寻找重复后发现，第44题后面一个词chat即为本题答案，因此选chat的同义词conversation。21*cnjy*com
【解析】43. B 考查名词。句意：我的新朋友的每个……中都显示出怀疑的语气。joke，cry和story在文中均未提及，直接排除，选response。【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
【解析】44. B 考查形容词。此题考查文章归纳总结能力。文章说：对于一个陌生人，人们并不习惯于进行……的交谈。此句是由前文作者对于陌生人的反应而总结出来的。前文作者对陌生人的交谈很不顺利，如何开始、如何结束都显得十分困难，因此本题应选择与“困难”相近的词。纵观备选项，unprepared(未准备好的，即兴的)较符合文义。21教育名师原创作品
【解析】45. A 考查副词。句意：和陌生人交谈的方式的改变无论是……的需要，它都不会发生。此题单纯从文义理解比较困难，建议用排除法。frequently, simply, widely这3个选项均不是文章讨论的内容，可以排除，剩下答案desperately(十分，非常地)修饰这种需要的迫切程度。 www.21-cn-jy.com
【解析】46. D 考查动词。最后一段作者针对与陌生人疏远这种情况，建议人们努力改善，答案则容易得出。
【解析】47. C 对应第一段的apart，此处应选择相对应的反义词closer。
阅读理解
阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
Walking in a farmers' market often brings one to explore new food options, and now more locallyfarmed protein choices are available to help bridge the gap between our meals and the farms on which they originated. More and more local small farms are popping_up in opposition to factory farms.
Today's commercial farms do not fit the image that comes to mind while happily singing along to “Old McDonald”. Instead, most of the nation's food comes from CAFOs, Confined Animal Feeding Operations, where animals are kept in tightly enclosed conditions as they are fattened up and readied to be killed for food.
Fortunately, knowing exactly where one's food comes from has led to an increase in the availability of what is known as “grassfed” beef. Technically, all cattle are grassfed for at least a limited amount of time, but what makes the meat significant is that it is grassfinished, not forcefed corn, soy or grains. This change in diet makes all the difference since corn is not part of the cow's traditional diet, and therefore causes major health issues for it. To deal with the health issues, antibiotics (抗生素) are used and some of the antibiotics used to treat the cattle are similar to those given to humans, so they can decrease the effectiveness of medicine when a consumer is sick.
A healthier diet for the cattle leads the meat to lower in both fat and calories. And when cooking grassfed beef, you'd better use a slightly lower temperature to make it more delicious.
文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。为了应对机械化农业的弊端，越来越多的小农业开始兴盛起来了，它们生产的农畜牧产品不仅丰富了人们的一日三餐，同时也更绿色、更健康。
1．The underlined words “popping up” (in the 1st paragraph) probably means ________.
A．improving B．fading
C．profiting D．appearing
答案：D 词义猜测题。根据文章第一句中“and now more locallyfarmed protein choices are available”可知，现在有更多的当地小农场喂养的动物可满足人们对蛋白质的需求，即当地出现了越来越多小农场，由此可知，appear与pop up意思最为接近，故答案D符合文义。www-2-1-cnjy-com
2．The song “Old McDonald” describes ________.
A．animals raised freely on local farms
B．animals kept in tightly enclosed conditions
C．commercial farms providing fast food
D．commercial farms providing unpopular foods
答案：A 推理判断题。根据文章第二段第一句“Today's commercial farms do not fit the image...”的提示和下文对商业农场喂养动物的方法的描述可知，the song “Old McDonald”所描述的喂养方式正好和商业农场相反，由此可推知，答案A符合文义。
3．Some medicines are less effective for beef consumers probably because ________.
A．some cattle feed on grains
B．all cattle diet on grass
C．some medicines are used to treat sick cattle
D．some antibiotics are used by both cattle and people21cnjy.com
答案：D 细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句中“and some of the antibiotics used to treat the cattle are similar to those given to humans...”可推知，答案D符合文义。
4．We can infer from the text that ________.
A．food from local farms can help add to the variety in our daily meals
B．soy or grains are on the list of traditional diets of the cattle
C．corn for the cattle leads the meat to lower in both fat and calories
D．lower temperature makes grassfed beef more delicious
答案：A 推理判断题。根据文章第一段第一句“Walking in a farmers' market often brings one to explore new food options, and now more locallyfarmed protein choices are available to help bridge the gap between our meals and the farms on which they originated.”可推知，选项A“当地小农场的食物可以丰富我们的一日三餐”符合文义。B、C两项与原文不符；D项不是经过推理得出的，不符合题意，故排除。2-1-c-n-j-y

On a visit to Japan, Wangari Maathai learned the story of the hummingbird (蜂鸟) and the forest fire. While the other animals run in fear, the hummingbird flies above the fire time and again, leaving a few drops of water from its beak.21教育名师原创作品
“Why do you bother？” the other animals shout at the hummingbird. “I'm doing the best that I can，” the hummingbird replies.21*cnjy*com
“It's such a beautiful story，” Ms. Maathai says, thinking of the world's environmental problems. “There's always something we can do with our little beak like the little hummingbird.”
In 2004 Maathai was honored with a Nobel Peace Prize for her work founding the Green Belt Movement (GBM), which hires villagers, especially women, to improve the environment. Since then, she's realized that people's values are what inspire them. If the values are good ones, good actions will follow.
“If you don't have good values, you'll develop vices (恶劣行径)，” says Maathai. “And if we give in to the vice, we destroy ourselves. We destroy the environment.” That's the message of her new book.
In 1971, Maathai received a doctor's degree from the University of Nairobi, the largest university in Kenya. She's now back in her homeland beginning work on the Wangari Maathai Institute for Peace and Environmental Studies (WMI) at the University of Nairobi. “They want to call it after me，” she says.www.21-cn-jy.com
WMI will pay more attention to “learning by doing” and use knowledge to deal with real problems. “What Africa needs is people who are willing to get their fingers dirty and work with the people，” says Maathai.

(2015·福建)
Life can be so wonderful，full of adventure and joy.It can also be full of challenges，setbacks(挫折) and heartbreaks.Whatever our circumstances，we generally still have dreams，hopes and desires—that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones.Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem，because when we go to change the way we do things，up come the old patterns and pitfalls(陷阱) that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.
This tension between what we feel we can have and what we're seemingly able to have is the niggling(烦人的) suffering，the anxiety we feel.This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up.But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more.The intelligence behind that knowing is us—the real us.It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities.If you drop that，you begin to feel a little “dead” inside because you're dropping “you”．
So，if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck，how do we break these patterns?
Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time.This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today's challenges.21*cnjy*com
While，deep down，we know we can do it，our mind—or the minds of those close to us—usually says we can't.That isn't a reason to stop; it's just the mind，that little man or woman on your shoulder，trying to talk you out of something again.It has done it many times before.It's all about starting simple and doing it now.21教育网
Decide and act before overthinking.When you do this you may feel a little，or large，release_from_the_jail_of_your_mind and you'll be on your way.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，作者介绍了在我们想要放弃的时候改变这种模式的一种方法就是重新选择目标并且迅速做出决定。
1．It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ________.
A．slow down and live a simple life
B．be careful when we choose to change
C．stick to our dreams under any circumstances
D．be content with what we already have
答案：C 细节理解题。文章第一段第三句Whatever our circumstances，we generally still have dreams，hopes and desires说不管在什么情况下，我们仍然有着梦想、希望和欲望。以及第二段最后一句If you drop that，you begin to feel a little “dead”inside because you're dropping “you”．如果你放弃了，你的内心会变得了无生机，因为你放下了你自己。故选C。2·1·c·n·j·y
2．What is the key to breaking the old patterns?
A．To focus on every detail.
B．To decide and take immediate action.
C．To listen to those close to us.
D．To think twice before we act.
答案：B 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段第一句Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time.可以知道为了打破旧格局需要决定一个新目标并且立刻做出决定。故选B。21cnjy.com
3．Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?www-2-1-cnjy-com
A．Escape from your punishment.
B．Realization of your dreams.
C．Freedom from your tension.
D．Reduction of your expectations.
答案：C 推理判断题。根据画线句子可知其本意是逃出你内心的牢笼。结合上文中在过多思考之前快速决定和行动可以推测这个画线句子是指要从过多考虑的焦虑中解放自己。故选C。【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
4．What does the author intend to tell us?
A．It's easier than we think to get what we want.
B．It's important to learn to accept sufferings in life.21教育名师原创作品
C．It's impractical to change our way of thinking.
D．It's harder than we expect to follow a new course.
答案：A 写作意图题。从全文来看，作者主要是想要强调果断的行动而不是空想来实现自己的梦想和欲望，比起想要成功，行动更加容易。故选A。

Up to 45 rare species of Australian animals are in danger of becoming extinct within 20 years, scientists warned in a report. But hope is not lost! According to the report, the species can be saved if immediate action is taken to control their natural predators (天敌) and other threats.
The threatened animals can be found in the faraway Kimberley region of northwestern Australia. The region is similar in square miles to California. Thirty percent of the endangered species are unique to the region, while others have already disappeared in other parts of Australia.
Dr. Tara Martin, a research scientist said in the report, “A large extinction event is happening in Australia. The north has really been the last stronghold (主要栖息地) for many species of birds and mammals and reptiles. The Kimberley is really their last chance on earth.”
Many of the species are under threat because they are hunted by wild cats. These cats kill around 500 000 native animals in the Kimberley region every day. The species face another threat, too. Their native habitat is also being destroyed by wildfires and by wild donkeys and goats that compete for food and water. Humans introduced cats, donkeys and goats to Australia to be farm animals or pets. However, their populations have exploded in the region because they have few natural predators.
The report calls for $ 95 million to immediately start protection programs. The report also suggests reducing wild donkey and goat populations in the region, building fences, fighting wildfires and educating the community about how to help the endangered species. Richard Hobbs, an ecologist at the University of Western Australia, says the costs are worthwhile because the measures will not be too difficult to carry out.

A
The majority of the world’s most powerful and influential positions remain in men's hands. But the imbalance is gradually tilting -- and it shows. In 2015, some of the biggest news and successes resulted from the actions of women. Here are the new faces who inspired, guided or moved the world.
Loretta Lynch
Traditionally, the top U.S. law-enforcement official is not well-known outside of the United States, but Attorney General Loretta Lynch not only made headlines around the world, she also brought a particular kind of change that billions of people had hoped for but thought was out of reach.
Lynch surprised the world by taking on the entrenched(根深蒂固的), corrupt officials of FIFA, the governing body of the world's most popular sport, soccer. She had the bravery to do what nobody else had dared. FIFA officials, she declared, had engaged in "rampant(猛烈的), systematic and deep-rooted" corruption, and it was time to "bring wrongdoers to justice."
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
When Ebola took on alarming proportions in West Africa, it was tough for Liberia, one of the centers of the crisis.
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the leader of Liberia, pleaded for international help. One reason the world responded is because the unbeatable President has international moral status. She played a key role in guiding her country after cruel civil wars and received the Nobel Peace Prize for her effort.
Johnson Sirleaf not only helped bring an end to the epidemic, she did something just as remarkable: She revealed her emotions and admitted her faults. When it was all over she said she had been afraid, and admitted she had made big mistakes as a result of her fear. Then she showed gratitude. Instead of collecting honors, she thanked all the people and countries who made victory against Ebola possible.21世纪教育网版权所有
Aung San Suu Kyi
The Burmese leader, also a Nobel Peace Prize winner, put the skeptics and the cynics(愤世嫉俗) to shame. To those who said nonviolent resistance could not defeat a vicious armed opponent, she seemed to say "just watch."
Following the footsteps of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King , she endured a long struggle against the pitiless military rulers of Myanmar. She gained international support for economic sanctions(制裁) that helped persuade the generals to loosen their control, leading to elections in 2015 and an overwhelming victory for her National League for Democracy. She remains a global icon of peaceful resistance.
Tu Youyou
It's a tough challenge to find a single human being who may be responsible for saving as many lives. The Chinese pharmacologist Tu Youyou, one of three winners of this year's Nobel Prize for Medicine, took a different route in attacking one of the world's biggest killers, malaria.
Research into ancient Chinese texts led her to discover the compounds that help prevent a disease that still kills about half a million people every year, transmitted by mosquitoes in water-logged jungles. The discovery has resulted in medication that has saved millions of lives.
1. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.
A. tell us that men’s status in the world was becoming less important in 2015
B. show readers the importance of several great women who were powerful in 2015
C. analyze the reasons why some great women became the 2015 biggest news
D. introduce several great women and their achievements in 2015
2. Among the women mentioned above, who did not win the Nobel Prize?
A. Aung San Suu Kyi. B. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
C. Loretta Lynch. D. Tu Youyou
3. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was regarded as remarkable for the following EXCEPT_____.
A. that she played a key role to end Ebola, but she didn’t owe everything to herself alone..
B. that she guided her country to win the civil wars and received the Nobel Prize..
C. that she bravely acknowledged her fear and her mistakes.
D. that she expressed her gratitude to those who fought Ebola together
4. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. some great women’s successes are shaking the men’s control of the world.
B. thanks to Tu Youyou’s discovery, the patients attacked by malaria will undoubtedly be saved.
C. Aung San Suu Kyi won the victory with the guidance of Gandhi and Martin Luther King.
D. many people have dealt with the corruption of FIFA, but failed.
B
A decade ago, secondary and higher education was prized above all else. Apprenticeships (学徒工作) were viewed as an option for dropouts rather than a daring career choice. And the young men and women who didn’t fit into the school system, preferring to create start-ups and focus on making a living in the business world, were dismissed as wheeler-dealers. (投机者)
Now there’re no birds of this year in last year’s nests. Young people are being encouraged to think carefully about whether academia is right for them--- this trend has been fuelled by rising university fees and a global shortage of many skills that were passed over in schools in recent years, ranging from web development to sales.
Young people are required to stay in some kind of education or training until they are 18, but this learning may now take many forms. The Government runs its own platform to help interested youths find an apprenticeship that suits their skills and ambitions.
Tom Hartley, who runs a high-end performance and classic car business based in Derbyshire, founded his first company at just 12 years old. “I had no school education,” he says. “Business was how I learned everything. I call it the Hartley University of Life.”
His business, 43 years on, turns over ￡ 200m, and sells cars to high-net-worth individuals across the globe, from Hollywood celebrities to foreign royalty. Many years ago, Hartley was asked to explain why he had chosen to be self-educated and why he had supported his son Carl’s decision to leave school and join the family business instead.【出处：21教育名师】

Children should start learning Shakespeare at the age of four before they are faced with the difficulty with the language, says a study published recently.
Lessons should begin before pupils start secondary school, because many teenagers begin to dislike the plays, says the report. All pupils should also see at least one performance of a Shakespeare’s play. The recommendations have been made in a Royal Shakespeare company(RSC) document, contemplating why school children show less and less interest in drama.
The RSC has warned that children are being turned off Shakespeare because of the way they are taught in schools and a lack of opportunities to see plays performed live. Jacqui O’Hanlon, the head of education at the RSC, said, “We’ve seen teachers working extremely well in class. There’s been a lot of success with 4-year-olds. With primary school kids, there isn’t a fear factor because they’ve never heard of him. What we do with children from the age of 8 is to unfold the story piece by piece and show them the key moments of drama.”
Shakespeare is compulsory in secondary school. Pupils between the ages of 11 and 14 must study at least one play.
An educator who is in charge of England’s exams said a review of the primary school courses would be a chance to decide if it should be taught to younger pupils. And as part of the RSC task, more courses will be developed to help teachers lead lessons on plays.21*cnjy*com
Tamsin Greig, the actress, who won an Olivier Award for her performance in Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing last year, said, “Give children the chance to play with words, ideas and stories, and boredom will have no place.”

Sitting on the peaceful coast of Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, watching the sun move quietly into the sea, you shouldn't forget that Charles Darwin (1809-1882) arrived here in 1835. He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. This finally inspired his famous work, On the Origin of Species. You can certainly follow Darwin's footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands.
The islands are certainly a paradise for wildlife, as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control. Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago, each day is as impressive as it could be.
The most well-known animal of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise (巨型海龟), which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Sanra Cruz, the second largest island in the archipelago (群岛). Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself.
Despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures: diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; and, most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air.
Travelling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin, you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world. At night you will sleep on board the ship, leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time.
13. What do we know about Darwin's visit to the islands? 21·cn·jy·com
A. He studied different creatures on the islands
B. He completed his famous book on the islands
C. He was touched by the geography of the islands
D. He was attracted by well-known animals of the islands 【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
14. Which of the following plays a role in making the islands "a paradise for wildlife"?
A. Animals on the islands feed on grass.
B. Local government forbids killing wildlife.
C. People cannot visit the islands as they wish.
D. Tourists are not allowed to touch the animals. 21cnjy.com
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. A Unique Attraction for Wildlife Lovers
B. Calapagos as a Paradise for Adventures
C. Charles Darwin as a Symbol of Galapagos
D. A successful Example of Wildlife Protection

Tips for cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money and time. 16 Money is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:
1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready? 17
2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 18 it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
3. 19 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.
Hopefully that gives you a good start. 20 and don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!
A. Try new things.
B. Ability is easily improved.
C. Make three or four instead.
D. Understand your food better.
E. Cooking is a burden for many people.
F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.
G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.
