Harris, who often went to local prisons to do his work. During the visit, Hamilton started talking to one of the prisoners and asked what he was going to do when he got out. “He said he was going to get a job,” Hamilton recalls（回忆）. “I thought to myself, wow, thats going to be difficult with a criminal background.”The conversation made Hamilton consider how prisoners could benefit from entrepreneurship, something he thought about for years. Finally in 2008, 16 years after that initial conversation, Hamilton created Inmates to Entrepreneurs, a nonprofit organization that helps people with criminal backgrounds start their own small businesses. “Harris and I taught our first course at a prison called How to Start Your Own Business When You Get Out ,” he recalls. At the time, Hamilton was building his own company, Sageworks. As Sageworks grew, so did Hamilton s time spent teaching at prisons throughout North Carolina. Eventually, Hamilton decided it was time to change his focus to his true passion. In May 2018, he sold his stake（股份） in Sageworks, focusing his commitment on Inmates to Entrepreneurs. “Now, anyone is able to access the curriculum, either to become an instructor to go into prisons to teach it or to access it for themselves as a prisoner or part of the general population,” Hamilton explains. In addition, he visits middle schools and presents the curriculum to at-risk students as a preventative measure against crime. The free curriculum is funded by the recently established Brian Hamilton Foundation, which offers assistance to military members as they adjust to civilian life and provides loans to small businesses. “Were giving prisoners something they can do independent of a system that isnt working for them. If you can let people know that other people care about them, it makes a difference.”24. Why did Brian Hamilton think the prisoner couldnt easily find a job after getting out?A. He didnt have any special skills. B. He would have his criminal background with him. C. He would break the criminal law again and again. D. He couldnt access the courses provided by the prison.25. What does the underlined word “entrepreneurship” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Thinking of a good idea after working hard for years. B. Trying ones best because of being kept in a small place. C. Making money by starting or running ones own businesses. D. Having a job in a profitable company owned by the government.26. What does the text say about Inmates to Entrepreneurs? A.

What is the main idea of the text?A. A man made a fruitless visit to the prison. B. A man sold his business to teach prisoners.C. A man realized his dream of being a teacher. D. A man successfully created two organizations.C Move over, helicopter parents. “Snowplow（扫雪机） parents” are the newest reflection of an intensive（强化的） parenting style that can include parents booking their adult children haircuts, texting their college kids to wake them up so they dont sleep through a test, and even calling their kids employers. Helicopter parenting, the practice of wandering anxiously near ones children, monitoring their every activity, is so 20th century. Some rich mothers and fathers now are more like snowplows: machines moving ahead, clearing any difficulties in their childrens path to success, so they dont have to suffer failure, frustration（挫折）or lose opportunities. It starts early, when parents get on wait lists for excellent preschools before their babies are born and try to make sure their kids never do anything that may frustrate them. It gets more intense when school starts: running forgotten homework to school or calling a coach to request that their children make the team. Rich parents may have more time and money to devote to making sure their children don t ever meet with failure, but its not only rich parents practicing snowplow parenting. This intensive parenting has become the most welcome way to raise children, regardless of income, education, or race. Yes, its a parents job to support the children, and to use their adult wisdom to prepare for the future when their children arent mature enough to do so. Thats why parents hide certain toys from babies to avoid getting angry or take away a teenagers car keys until he finishes his college applications. But snowplow parents can take it too far, some experts say. If children have never faced a difficulty, what happens when they get into the real world? “Solving problems, taking risks and overcoming frustration are key life skills,” many child development experts say, “and if parents dont let their children experience failure, the children dont acquire them.”28. What do we know about snowplow parenting? A. It appeared before helicopter parenting. B. It costs parents less than helicopter parenting. C. It was a typical phenomenon of the 20th century. D. It provides more than enough services for children.29. What does the fourth paragraph mainly say about snowplow parenting? A. Its cost. B. Its benefits. C. Its popularity. D. Its ending time.30. Why does the author mention parents taking away car keys? A. To show teenagers are no better than babies. B. To advise teenagers not to treat their cars as toys. C. To advise parents not to buy cars for their teenagers. D. To show its correct to help children when necessary.31. Whats the possible result of snowplow parenting according to the experts? A. Children lacking problem-solving ability in reality. B. Children mastering more key life skills than parents. C. Children gaining great success in every aspect of life. D. Children meeting no problems or frustration after growing up.D There are billions of people on this planet, and many of us love to eat meat. Can the demand be filled in a sustainable（可持续的） and affordable way? A bunch of businessmen are not only optimistic but are working to make this happen sooner than you may think. The environmental effects caused by meat consumption （食用）waste, animal treatment, health problems and even the greenhouse gas effects that are potentially caused by methane gas produced by cowshave given rise to a number of startups（新兴公司）looking to develop meats in different ways. For example, San Francisco-based Memphis Meats is developing cell-based meats in its labs without requiring any animals. Israels Future Meat Technologies is doing the same by producing fat and muscle cells that are being tested by chefs in Jerusalem. All of these companies use special processes to harvest cells from animals and grow them in a lab. But dont worry if youre not a meat lover. Startups such as Jet Eat, which is also based in Israel, are working on food products grown in labs that are plant-based and replicate （复制） meats using natural elements while still keeping flavor, consistency and the “overall sensory experience”, according to a report on NoCamels. Jet Eat, which was founded in early 2018, aims to 3D-print their lab-grown products by 2020. As you can imagine, there are plenty of barriers facing the industry. Educating the public is a big one. Another controversial issue is the labeling of the products. Recently both the USDA and the Food and Drug Administration（FDA） announced that they will begin jointly controlling the new “cell-based meat” category.Many of us have concerns about the challenges facing future generations as our global population increases and the earths natural resources decreases. The good news is that there are plenty of businessmen around the worldlike those producing lab-grown meatswho are working to solve some of these problems and make a little money in the process. Nothing wrong with that.32. Why do some companies begin to develop new kinds of meats? A. To analyse the causes of air pollution. B. To stress the importance of protecting wild animals. C. To make people less interested in eating meat and more healthy. D. To meet peoples demand for meat in environmentally friendly ways.33. Whats special about the lab-grown meats of Jet Eat? A. They cost less. B. They are plant-based. C. They are more delicious. D. They are available on the market now.34. Which of the following is a barrier lab-grown meat industries must deal with? A. How to let people accept the meat. B. How to give the meat an elegant name.C. How to produce the meat in large amounts. D. How to reduce the cost of making the meat.35. Whats the authors attitude towards lab-grown meats? A. Supportive. B. Opposing. C. Ambiguous. D. Cautious.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Meet New PeopleIt is easy to find a place where people gather.
