（2016山东潍坊）C Pappadavada, a popular restaurant in Kochi, India, is encouraging customers and the community to put their leftover food in a fridge located outside of the restaurant for the hungry to take. People who are in need of a meal are encouraged to take from the fridge at any time, for any reason. Minu Pauline, who runs Pappadavada, has nicknamed the fridge, which was placed there on March 23 and is shaded by a neighboring tree, “tree of goodness” The fridge is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and stays unlocked. Pauline asks that people write the date they left the food, so those who take know how long its been there. But most food doesnt stay in the fridge for long. In spite of a huge response (回应) from the community and plenty of donations, the fridge needs to be brought more in to replace in time. Pauline herself adds around 75to 80of food from Pappadavada a day in the fridge. The idea to put a fridge on the street came to Pauline late one night when she saw a lady searching in a trashcan (垃圾箱) for food. She was especially saddened because that particular night, her restaurant had made a ton of food that they could have easily given the woman, instead of her searching for it. She felt like she contributed to waste, and avoiding waste is what Pauline pays her attention to. “The only thing I want to say no is that people are actually buying food and putting it in the fridge. But Id rather people put their food they bought but arent going to eat in the fridge instead of the trashcan,” she said. 48. “Tree of goodness” is in fact_.

C (2016山西) CLet children learn to judge（判断）their own work. A child doesnt learn to talk by being corrected all the time. If he is corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language others use. Little by little, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other peoples. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taughtto walk, run, climb or ride a bicycle. They compare their performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them himself. We do it all for him. We thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon, he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him work out with the help of other children if he wants it. If it is a matter in math or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such daily work? Our job should be to help the child when they tell us that he cant find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must learn, how to measure(估量) their own understanding, and how to know what they know or do not know. Let them get on with this job in their ways. School teachers can offer help if they ask for it. Some parents and teachers are worried that the children might fail to learn something that they will need to get in the world. Dont worry! If it is important, they will go out into the world and learn it. 51. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by _.A. being always corrected B. following adults advice C. doing as other people do52. The writer thinks teachers in school should _.A. encourage students to learn from each otherB. teach students how to get the answers directlyC. tell students what is wrong as often as possible53. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph means_.A. teachers cant correct students papersB. teachers neednt waste time teaching students in classC. teachers should help students improve their learning ability54.We can infer(推断) that _from the passage.A. students can face any challenge easilyB. students can learn a lot in the real lifeC. students can grow up without others help55.

C (2016广东广州) (B)It may be hard to believe, but the American Revolution (革命)the war that freed the American states from British controlbegan over a cup of tea. Tea was not the only thing that caused the war, of course, but it played a very big part.The British peoples love of tea is well-known. When the British won control over much of North America in the early 1700s, they brought their tea-drinking habits with them. Tea quickly became the continents most popular drink. As tea could not be grown locally, just as in Britain, it was shipped into the countrymostly from India.In the early 1700s, the Britain government made a special deal with the East India Company, as an English trading company. They agreed that no other company was allowed to bring tea to Britain or any country controlled by Britain, including America. It was a great deal for the East India Company, since it meant that the company could decide whatever price it wanted for its products. And it always decided on a high price!In North America, the local people did not like having to pay such high prices. Instead of overpaying for tea from the British, they turned to Dutch traders, who secretly brought tea to the country that was just as goodand much less expensive. Although this broke the law, the American people didnt care. They got the same cup of tea at a much lower price.The East India Company, however, didnt like this at all. By the 1760s, they were losing millions of pounds each year to Dutch tradersa huge amount of money in a time when 60 a year was considered a good income. Instead of reducing their prices
