The program is intended to make and promote positive changes in the world. As Dr. Goodall says, “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” In Bulgaria, where I live, homeless dogs are everywhere. Many people here turn a blind eye to them. But I cannot ignore the life of a street dog whenever I see one wandering in the street, looking for something to eat. Thats why Im no longer a food waster. When I see wasted food, I always think of a hungry dog climbing to garbage bins, searching for food that people have thrown there. When eating in a restaurant, Im not afraid to take leftover food to feed stray cats or dogs. A week ago, I saw a homeless dog around the garbage bins. Immediately I knelt down, spoke to her softly and ran my hands over her. I could see that she had had puppies. I couldnt imagine how she could have been able to care for them. Hours earlier, Id bagged up a plate of leftover fish. As I unwrapped it, she wagged her tail and sniffed at it. She ate all the fish in no time. Its sad, isnt it? I cant understand why many of us waste so much and think little of it. These homeless animals have taught me that food is precious. Even when I dont have leftovers with me, Ill take the time to get something from the grocery store to feed them. I know my power is small, so I hope that next time you see wasted food, do turn it into worthy food. You have the power to save a life!1. The author uses what Dr. Goodall says to show_.

Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. “Its the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says. On October 29, xx, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalies family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the citys bridge closed. When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalies friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalies school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn. In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings. “My mom tells me that I cant control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it.” Natalies choice was to help. She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down. Within days, Patricks collection was replaced. In the ing months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-needed supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change. Today, the scars(创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I cant imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.”8 When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found _.A. some friends had lost their livesB. her neighborhood was destroyedC. her school had moved to BrooklynD. the elderly were free from suffering9 According to Paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most?A.

It has been regarded as the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Although its not an official holiday, millions of employers give their employees the day off, and many people use that day to get a jump-start on their holiday shopping. A similar day in Canada and Great Britain is called “Boxing Day”. Black Friday has bee somewhat of a marketing sensation in recent years. Since xx, it has been the busiest shopping day of the year. To lure shoppers, retailers (零售商) routinely open their doors as early as 4 a.m. and offer special sales and promotions to the shoppers that arrive early. Some of the special deals offered by stores are only available in limited quantities. That is why some shoppers intent on getting the best deals often camp out in front of stores overnight so that theyll be the first in line when the doors open. But why Black Friday? Historians believe the name started in Philadelphia in the mid-1960s. Bus drivers and police used “Black Friday” to describe the heavy traffic that would block city streets the day after Thanksgiving as shoppers headed to the stores. Businesses, however, didnt like the negative tone associated with the “Black Friday” name. In the early 1980s, a more positive explanation of the name began to circulate. According to this alternative explanation, Black Friday is the day when retailers finally begin to turn a profit for the year. In accounting terms (会计行业), operating at a loss is called being “in the red” because accountants traditionally used red ink to show negative amounts. Positive amounts were usually shown in black ink. Thus, being “in the black” is a good thing because it means stores are operating at a profit. Recently, for those who are too busy to shop on Black Friday or who just dont want to fight the crowds, the Monday following Black Friday has bee known as Cyber Monday (网络星期一) for the many online deals.12 On Black Friday, the Americans _.A. dont have to go to work as usualB. look exactly like the CanadiansC. are usually busy doing shoppingD. stay at home and relax themselves13 The underlined word “lure” (in Paragraph 2) probably means _.A. protect B. attract C. persuade D. remind14How do the retailers understand Black Friday?A. It is totally different from Boxing Day.B. They usually lose some money on the day. C. It never keeps them very busy.D. It probably brings them more money.15The author writes this passage in order to _.A. state the development of Cyber MondayB. tell the difference between red and blackC. introduce Black Friday to the readersD.explain the meaning of Boxing Day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.(将16-20题答案写在II卷答题卡相应位置)16. _This was not because the woods and fields were always far away, but because they were too far from the city to permit people to make a day trip between morning and nightfall.17. _He decided to turn his little school into a dormitory (宿舍楼) for the summer holidays.Anyone who brought his sleeping bag and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small quantity of money.The idea was a success.A few years later, the school house was much too small to hold the many young people who wanted to stay there.18._.This was the first hostel (青年招待所).
