Not only will a lodger (房客) earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room”program, you wont have to pay any tax on the first 4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy.Make money during special eventsDont want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis.

A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for freebut you will be charged if your home gets picked.Use your roofYou need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixingsolar equipment (around14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.21.

Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.Helene and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didnt have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Dannys mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, “Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business.”Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.24.

The Hindi language film, called Dangal, has earned almost $170 million in China since its release there on May 5.Much has been written about why Dangal has enjoyed such big success in China. Some people say one reason is that the films star and producer, Aamir Khan. He is famous in Indias Bollywood film industry. Two of his earlier films were also big hits in China.Khans popularity was clear after he got more than 600,000 followers on the Chinese social media service Sina Weibo within two months of joining. But he is not the only reason that the film strongly connects with audience across China. Media has pointed out how it shows similarities between parental systems in China and India.Dangal is based on the true story of a man who enjoyed the sport of wrestling(摔跤). He competed as a wrestler, but never could achieve his lifelong dream: winning a gold medal. As a father, he wanted his son to win the medal. But his wife only gives birth to daughters. So he finally decides to train them to be world-class wrestlers.The movie is more serious than most Bollywood productions, which tell happy love stories and include colorful music and dance performances.Edward Chan is a professor at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He says the strict way of parenting in the film is something people in China can easily relate to. I think the father role described by the movie in India is quite to the culture, especially the traditional culture in China.The Chinese government supported Global Times newspaper pointed that movie critics (评论家) in China did not like Dangal. Most of them agree with the fact that the father in the film was forceful in pushing his daughters to become wrestlers. But the film Dangal is really aimed to educate children to work for their dreams.28.Whats the main reason for the father teaching his daughters to wrestle?A.He wanted to punish themB.He wanted them to realize his goal.C.Few women took this sport.D.He loved them very much.29.What do most Chinese movie critics agree?A.The truth of the whole story was doubtful.B.The film Dangal was against the Indian traditional culture.C.Indian films often have a bad influence on Chinese parents.D.The fathers behaviour in the film Dangal was cruel.30.What can we learn from the text?A.Most films from Bollywood are serious.B.Daughters perform worse in sport than sons.C.Indian parents roles are similar to those in China in some way.D.The films produced by Aamir Khan is not popular with Chinese.31.What does the author think of Dangal?A.Its unsuccessful.B.Its unknown.C.Its educational.D.Its relaxingDWe may think were a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices(设备) well after they go out of style. Thats bad news for the environmentand our walletsas these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its lifefrom when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002,before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.As we accumulated more devices, however, we didnt throw out our old ones.“The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kidsroom, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house,” said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. Were not just keeping these old deviceswe continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitts team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions (排放) more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.So whats the solution? The teams data only went up to 2007,but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.32.What does the author think of new devices?A. They are environment-friendly.B. They are no better than the old.C. They cost more to use at home.D. They go out of style quickly.33.Which of the following uses the least energy?A. The box-set TV. B. The tablet.C. The LCD TV. D. The desktop computer.34. What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?A. Stop using them. B. Take them apart.C. Upgrade them. D. Recycle them.35.Why did Babbitts team conduct the research?A. To reduce the cost of minerals used in devices.B. To test the life cycle of an electronic product.C. To update consumers on some new technology.D. To find out electricity consumption of devices.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。An apology(道歉) tells someone that we are sorry for the hurt we caused even if we didnt do it on purpose.Why apologize?Apologies are one of the tools that we use to build good friendships and relationships. When you say “I am sorry” (and really mean it), its because you probably feel bad that something you did or said hurt another person.36_You are also saying that you respect the other person and you care about his or her feelings. After apologizing, you might feel a little better. 37_When you apologize in a caring way, you can feel good because you are trying to make things right again.Does apologizing fix everything?38_Other times, it might take a while for someone to get past feeling upset. You may need to give the other person some time. Even after you say you are sorry, you might still feel bad about what you said or did. 39_You are making up your mind to do better.What if you have been hurt?When someone apologizes to you, you may welcome it. But if a person keeps hurting you and apologizing without making an effort to change, you may not want to make friends with him. 40_Its polite to accept an apology, but anything more is up to you!A. Saying youre sorry is more than just words. B. The other person will probably feel better, too. C. Its always easy to get along with other people.D. Sometimes a heartfelt “I am sorry” fixes everything right away. E. Everyone needs to apologize when they do something wrong. F. But you can feel good about apologizing or fixing the mistake.G. Just because someone apologizes, it doesnt mean you have to be friends.第三部分：语言知识运用（共三节，满分55分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从4160各题所给的四个选项 （A，B，C和D），选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案。I sat with my friend in a well-known coffee shop in a neighboring town of Venice.
