camp beforeso，stanley yelnats seems set to serve an easy sentence，which is only fair because he is as innocentas you or mebut stanley is not going where he thinks he iscamp green lake is like no other camp anywhereit is a place that has no lake and nothing greennor is it a camp，at least not the kind of camp kids look forward to in the summertimeit is only a desert wasteland，dotted with countless holes dug by the boys who live at the campthe trouble started when stanley was accused of stealing a pair of shoes donated by basketball great clyde“sweetfeet”livingston to a celebrity auction(名流拍卖会)in court，thejudge doesnt believe stanleys explanation that the shoes fell from the sky onto his headandyet，thats exactly what happenedstrangely, though，stanley doesnt blame the judge for falselyconvicting(宣告有罪)himinstead，he blames the whole thing on his“no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather”thanks to this distant relative，the yelnats family had been cursed(诅咒)for generationsfor stanley, his current troubles are just a natural part of being a yelnatsat camp green lake，the warden(看守)makes the boys“build character”by spending allday,every day, digging holes：five feet wide and five feet deepit doesnt take long for stanleyto realize theres more than character improvement going on at camp green lakethe boys aredigging holes because the warden is searching for something，and before long stanley begins hisown searchfor the truthfate is to find a solution to it allthe family curse，the mystery of the holesthe great wheel of justice has ground slowly for generations，but now it is about to reveal its verdict(裁决)56stanley yelnats went to camp green lake to_.aenjoy the summertime bshow his innocencecserve his sentence dmake a choice57we can learn from the passage that stanley_.astole the shoes for his relative bgot the shoes by accidentcdonated the shoes to an auction dblamed the judge for the sentence58in fact，the warden made the boys dig holes to_.akill the time bbuild charactercbreak the family cursedlook for something59in which section of a newspaper does this passage probably appear?alawbgeographycnewsdliteraturebherbie ricketts，52,lives in thornton heath，south london，and works as an electricianhehas been a listening volunteer with the samaritans for 16 years. each caller is as individual as their circumstances and i didnt realize so many people taketheir own lives until i became a samaritanand only then did the true nature of the work i was doing hit home. ill always remember my first day on dutythe caller, stressed and depressed，told me hewas suicidal(想自杀的)hed been too frightened to talk to the people around him，which is commonpeople are told theyve got nothing to be upset aboutor, if they are already classifiedas having mental health issues，so they tell no onehow do you make sense of your feelings if you cant tell someone? just allowing people to say what they honestly feel helps them find a different perspectivei couldnt offer him practical advice but i could support him emotionallyi helped him come to terms with his situation and make sense of some of the terrible emotions he was experiencingoffering anonymity(匿名)and being nonjudgmental(无偏见的)allows people easily hurt to explore their thoughts without fear or worryi left him in an emotionally safe place，ensuring he knew 1 wasnt rejecting or abandoning himi let him know we were still there if he needed us，explaining that it might not be me on the other end of the phone but another samaritan who could also support suicidal people will ring with issues like drug use or lonelinessif you look at it from the perspective of, “how can i solve this? ”you can become，like them，at a lossevery cell in yourbody wants to offer solutions，but as a samaritan im not there to sort their problems outi listen and will support them when they cant see any further than tomorrowwhen the phone goes silent，we stay with that caller as long as we possibly can，which could be two or three hours the shifts are up to four hours longwhen it doesnt go so well，i offload to my colleague，so i dont carry home a heavy heartbeing a samaritan has greatly improved my lifeim calmerand become a supportive listener, which has also improved my relationshipsbut being a wonderful samaritan doesnt make you a wonderful parent or wonderful partneri wish it did60what does the underlined sentence in the passage probably mean? athose who called in had their unique nature bi got to realize the value of being a samaritan cit was common that many people committed suicide di was determined to be a samaritan at home61some people choose not to tell others about their feelings mainly because they_.aactually have nothing to worry aboutbare too shy to expose themselves to otherscsuffer from serious mental health problemsdfind no supportive listeners around them62samaritans usually help callers by_.asorting out their problemsbproviding practical advice for themcoffering them emotional supportdasking questions such as“how can i solve this? ”63we may infer from the passage that_.abeing a good samaritan takes patiencebsamaritans are easily affected by callersccallers are always successfully comforteddpeople kill themselves for lack of listening volunteerscalong with global warming and the ebola virus，this year, something far less life-and society-threatening also spiraled out of control：emailit was long ago invented as something to make us moreproductivebut what productivity expert would ever say that itsa good thing that instead of working，we now“answer email? or that on some days，i am unwilling to leave my desk to headinto a meeting because it means taking my finger off the keyboard and knowing 1 will return to a flood of new messageswaiting patiently for my total attention?some people struggle for“inbox zero”but like many people，i now get so much junk mail that if i were to adopt such a goal，i would spend every workday doing nothing but deletingemailsto make sure nothing important gets buried，i have developed an embarrassinglv oldsystem of keeping a pen-and-paper list of emails that need responses on a

emailsalready, some tools have emerged(出现)over the years，like software freedom which disables access to the internet for chosen periods of timecorporations have gradually been adopting stricter email policies：a few years ago，volkswagen said it would stop sending emails from its servers to company-owned blackberrys after the end of its workdaybut this great hope is largely the optimist in me speaking，and i give this prediction small chances compared to some of our othersas tony hsieh once told me，the problem with email isthat it is a“goodenough”solutionsome technologies stay around just because there isnt anything betterits probably rightbut my wish is that 2015 is the year when truly effective email management solutions go from good to great-and that email volume goes from crazy to reasonablewell a11 be better for it64the underlined word “spiraled” in paragraph l probably means “_”.aincreased rapidly bmoved in circlecchanged unexpectedly dappeared suddenly65the writer is unwilling to attend a meeting because_.ahe has to return with quantities of emailsbanswering emails calls for great attentioncmore emails will flood in waiting for him to checkdhe doesnt want to take his fingers off the keyboard66from paragraph 3，we may infer that_.athe goal “inbox zero” is hard to obtainbthe writer is devoted to deleting emailscpens and paper are highly favored at workdfred wilson famously declared “email bankruptcy”67the writer may agree that_.aemails will come to an endbemails will still hold a placecexisting email management is perfectdemails will never be sent to blackberrysdthe passages below discuss the retirement agepassage 1：in the united states，the financial crisis has left the country with 11 million fewer jobs thanamericans need nowno matter how tough the policy ,we are not going to find 11 million new jobs soonso common sense suggests we should make some decisions about who should come first：older people，who have already worked three or four decades at hard jobs? or youngerpeople，many just out of school，with fresh skills and ambitions?the answer is obviousolder people who would like to retire and would do so if they couldafford it should get some helpthe right step is to reduce，not increase，the retirement ageas arough cut，why not make it a law to set a threeyear window during which the age for receiving full social security benefits would drop to 62providing a voluntary ,onetime，grab-it-now bonus for leaving work? let them go home! with a secure pension(退休金)and medical care，they will be happieryoung people who need work will be happierand there will also be more jobswith pension security, older people will consume services until the end of their livestheywill becomeeach and every one，an employerpassage 2：too many people see longer working lives as a worry rather than an opportunityand not just because they are going to be chained to their deskssome worry that there will not beenough jobs to go aroundthis misunderstanding，known to economists as the“lump of labourfallacy(劳动总量固定的谬论)”，was once used to argue that women should stay at home and leave all the jobs for breadwinning malesnow lump-of-labourites say that keeping the old at work would deprive(剥夺)the young of employmentthe idea that society can become better-off by paying more of its citizens to be idle(无所事事的)is clearly ridiculouson that reasoning，if the retirement age came down to 25 we would all be as rich as bill gates68in passage 1，one reason for suggesting earlier retirement in the us is the_atough policybstable pensionchigh unemploymentdfree medical care69.in passage i，the writer suggests encouraging older people to retire earlier by_.acutting their pension if they remain at workbgiving them an extra sum o f money on retiringcconvincing them that young people need workdoffering them a bonus each year for three years70lump-of-laborites believe that_ayoung citizens should be better paidbthe old should leave jobs for the youngcmales should earn bread for the familydearlier retirement will lead to a poorer society71what is the authors attitude towards earlier retirement in passage 2?anegativebpositivecunconcerneddtolerantein china，cultural differences arose from growing rice or wheatdifferent thinking styles between northern and southern chinese people can trace(追溯)their roots to rice fields and wheat fieldsrice farming promotes a holistic(整体的)focus on distinguishing relationships among people and objects，and valuing others as much as or more than oneself, say psychologist thomas talhelm of the university of virginia and his colleaguesholistic thinking among many modem chinese people partly reflects regional histories of building communal irrigation systems(共有灌溉系统)and cooperatively planting and harvesting rice fields over thousands of yearsthey draw that conclusion based on studies of college students from regions with different agricultural practicesstudents from southern and central chinas ricegrowing provinces think holistically, even though they have probably never farmed rice，talhelms group reportsin contrast，students from northern and central chinese provinces that have specialized in wheat growing exhibit a preference for abstract analysis and self over others，the scientists findwheat is less labor-intensive(劳动密集型)to grow than rice，so farmers can plant and harvest crops without much help from neighborsanalytical，individualistic thinking is not more common among students from richerprovinces, contrary to the argument that this attitude springs
