My daughter had got four Barbie dolls and two identical（完全相同的）Cabbage Patch Kids on Christmas, so I was eager to return toys that she didnt need. Suddenly a strong idea came to me. I eyed the lady in front of me with three small girls on her leg. The family looked poor. The children were without coats, and they had dirty faces and hair. “You are ready to get out of here, arent you? Give her the things you want to return,” the still voice spoke. “Give them to her? These are mine. Im not giving her my stuff,” I argued. I swallowed the urge that threatened to escape my lips when the voice spoke again. “Give her the toys.” I was familiar with the voice. I know I couldnt argue with that voice. I sighed and tapped the lady on the shoulder. “Maam,” I cleared my throat. She looked at me with kind, tired eyes surrounded by wrinkles. “Yes?” she asked. “Would your little girls like to have these toys?” I pointed to my basket full of returns. “Would your children like to have them?” She was speechless, and I swore that tears were about to well up in her eyes. “Youd be doing me a favor. I cant stand in this line in a moment longer.” “You have no idea,” she shook her head. “You have no idea what that means to me.” I started loading her basket as the excited girls watched. “Merry Christmas,” I said, “God bless you.” She replied as I nodded and exited（退出） the line. I didnt want to go the Walmart that day, but I went. I didnt want to give the lady my kids toys, but I did. Sometimes doing what we dont want to do is exactly what were supposed to do. 21.

Hard data still being collected, but experts in Chicago said about 30% to 50% of the food produced in the world goes uneaten. The average American throws away 33 pounds of food each monthabout $40 worth, which means each person throws away almost 400 pounds of food. The US Department of Agriculture says that 23% of eggs and an even higher percentage of produce ends up in the trash. “We forget we have all these fresh fruits and vegetables, and at the end of the week we have to throw them away”, said Esther Gove, a mother of three young children in South Berwick, Maine. “Now, I dont buy as much fresh produce as I used to.” But the effect of food waste arrives far beyond the kitchen. Agriculture （农业）is the worlds largest user of water, a big consumer（消费者） of energy and major emitter of greenhouse gases during production. Experts say reducing waste is a simple way to cut stress on the environment and can ease pressure on farmers, who will be called on to feed an expected 9 billion people around the world in 2050, compared with nearly 7 billion today. No matter how sustainable (可持续的) farming is, if the foods not getting eaten, its not sustainable and its not a good use of our resources. In richer nations, fruit and vegetables end up in the trash because they arent pretty enough to meet companies standards, have gone bad in a home refrigerator or arent eaten at a restaurant. In developing countries, much food spoils before it gets to market due to poor roads and lack of refrigeration. High food prices are another reason, since some people cant afford the food thats produced. 28. From the first paragraph, we know that cleaning your plate _. A. is your mothers best advice for youB. can solve certain problems for the worldC. can help feed hungry children all over the worldD. helps meet the growing populations needs29. The underlined word “emitter” in Paragraph 4 means _. A. user B. finder C. protector D. producer30. What is a sustainable and convenient way for a customer in a restaurant? A. Ordering enough and packing the leftovers.B. Ordering more than he or she can eat.C. Ordering less and feeling hungry after leaving.D. Ordering more and leaving the untouched alone.31. Which of the following topics will follow the text? A. More examples of food waste. B. Ways to reduce food waste.C. Experts idea on the environment. D. Advice for food with high prices.DAfter a year of examining many studies concerning whether homework is effective, NYC P. S. Elementary School decided that math worksheets and essay assignments were actually a waste of time. In February, Principal Jane Hsu sent a letter to parents stating that the Pre-K(学前班) through fifth grade students wouldnt be given any traditional homework to encourage kids to free time for reading, playing outside, or doing activities they enjoy. “The negative effects of homework have been well established.” Hsu wrote in a note to parents. “They include, childrens frustration and exhaustion, lack of time for other activities and family time and, sadly for many, loss of interest in learning.” Some parents, however, disagree with the policy change, believing that a lack of focus will cause children to fall behind. Homework has been part of education from the beginning, and has increased in amount in recent years. Hsus advice that children should read and spend time with their families has upset some parents to the point of considering pulling their children out of the school. This group feels that homework gives children a goal to work toward. Others feel so strongly about the importance of homework that they have begun giving their own homework to their children. An Australian Childhood Foundation survey finds that 71% of Australian parents feel they dont spend enough quality time with their children mainly because of the time spent running the household or the time spent helping with homework. Education experts in Australia are saying that parents should stop helping. Doing so will give kids more independence, give parents more free time, and help reduce the number of arguments caused by homework in the family. While some research suggests that homework has little academic benefit for elementary students, other researches show homework can help kids develop independence, and confidence. It can also contribute to a sense of belonging or control over their lives. When parents try to help their children with homework, the assistance can take away that feeling and can also make working parents more tired. 32. Cancelling（取消）traditional homework is aimed at _. A. allowing students to learn on their ownB. wishing students to spend more time with parentsC. inspiring students to seek self-developmentD. motivating students to help with homework33. What can be concluded from the 1st and 2nd paragraph? A. Jane Hsu is the first principal to cancel homework.B. Jane Hsu has done much research on different aspects of homework.C. Jane Hsu pays little attention to students academic records.D. Jane Hsu knows students prefer activities to their subjects.34. Why are some parents strongly against Principal Jane Hsu? A. They are afraid their kids will fall behind.B. They dislike their kids doing too many activities.C. They have no time to give their children homework.D. They dont think the school is responsible for their kids.35. What is the authors attitude to parents helping kids with homework? A. Supportive. B. Worried. C. Unconcerned. D. Negative.第二节 （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。 How to Avoid Weight Gain Over HolidaysDo you love the holidays, but hate the pounds that follow? You are not alone.

It was going to be a 42 Christmas after all. 43 , the neighborly nature of west Nebraska residents started to trickle (陆续来临) in. There was a 44 on the door one evening. It was Jeffs new colleague, John Smith, and his wife, Phyllis. The Smiths had stopped by to 45 us to town with a loaf of homemade bread. They pointed out a 46 on the porch (门廊). Apparently the doorbell wasnt working in the cold snowy weather and we had 47 a visit from the Browns, our across-the-street neighbors, who brought us a Christmas card and more Christmas cookies. The 48 feelings brought by these thoughtful gestures lasted longer than the food.As Jeff and I were clearing pre-Christmas 49 from our driveway, Ernie Guzman came over from next door to 50 us to dig out. Then, we received an invitation to 51 a Christmas Eve meal with our neighbors, Ernie and Nancy Sommer, and their 52 a 90-year-old lady, who also had no family in the immediate area with whom to spend the holiday. Our Christmas Eve was quite merry, thanks to our 53 . Our Christmas morning 54 was special, thanks to the Smiths gift of bread. I was so 55 for these gestures of welcome
