Culture ExchangeBIt was a cold night in Washington, D.C., and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. He asked me for some money so he could get something to eat. Id read the signs: “Dont give money to beggars.” So I shook my head and kept marching.I wasnt prepared for a reply, but he said, “I really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!” But I kept on marching.The incident bothered me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldnt have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he had been lying. On a freezing cold night, I still assumed the worst of a fellow human being.Flying back to Anchorage, I couldnt help thinking of him. I tried to seek excuses for my failure to help by assuming government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. Besides, youre not supposed to give money to beggars.Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Beans Caf, the soup kitchen in Anchorage, feeds hundreds of hungry Alaskans every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their gardens devoted to Beans?Before long my idea took off. People would fax me or call when they took something in. Those who only grew flowers donated them. Food for the spirit. And relief for my conscience.As more and more people started working with the Plant a Row concept, many companies gave free seeds to customers and displayed the logo, which also arose in national gardening publications. Row markers with the Plant a Row logo were distributed to gardeners to set apart their “Row for the Hungry”.It is unexpected that millions of Americans are threatened by hunger. If every gardener in Americaand were seventy million strongplants one row for the hungry, we can lower the number of neighbors who dont have enough to eat. Maybe then I will stop feeling guilty about abandoning a hungry man I could have helped.24. Why did the author turn down the beggars request?A. He was previously reminded not to do so.B. He was eager to march back to the hotel.C. He thought that it was beyond his duty.D. He was short of money at that moment.25. Which of the following is the closest to the underlined phrase “took off” (Paragraph 6)?A. We eventually took off at 11 oclock and landed in Seattle safely.B. To take off pounds, you have to cut down the number of calories.C. On hearing the news, he took off at once and headed back to the hotel.D. His business has really taken off owing to his advanced management.26. What did the author do after the beggars incident?A. He felt guilty but couldnt help him.B. He started a project to help the hungry.C. He ran a blue kitchen to supply the hungry with soup.D. He still supposed it was unwise to give money to beggars.27. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Plant a Row for the Hungry B. Lend a Hand to BeggarsC. Never Hesitate to Help Others D. Plan a Gardening ProjectCIn 2013 alone at least 20,000 African elephants were killed for their teeth. In South Africa over the last two years more than 2,200 rhinos were killed for their horns. These numbers are alarming, because current rates of illegal hunting are faster than birth rates, which could lead to extinction for these ecologically important creatures in their environment. Indeed, some elephant and rhino populations are on track to be locally extinct within the next decade.If you are reading this, you may already be aware of these facts. But you might not know that wildlife trafficking(走私) not only threatens the existence of elephants and rhinos but is also leading to extinction of other species, such as tigers, tortoises, sea turtlesand the worlds most trafficked mammal (哺乳动物)pangolins.Pangolins are the only mammals that are entirely covered in tough scales (鳞), which makes them look very strong. But actually they are endangered mammals. There are eight different species of pangolins, four in Asia and four in Africa, and all are threatened with extinction. Although pangolins are protected throughout most of the countries where they live, high demand in East Asia, where the delicious pangolin meat is considered a delicacy and where their scales are used in traditional medicines, is driving an illegal trade in both live animals and pangolin parts. The number of pangolin trafficking is shocking. Experts believe that over the last 10 years more than 1 million pangolins were taken from the wild. It is estimated that between 40,000 and 81,250 pangolins were killed for the illegal trade in 2013 alone.In February, the United States released a plan to deal with wildlife trafficking, which lays out the steps we will take to fight the illegal trade in wildlife, including pangolins. We are strengthening the carrying out of the plan; building international cooperation and contribution to protect wildlife; raising awareness to drive down the demand that is fueling the illegal trade.Get involved and remember World Wildlife Day (March 3) by spreading the plan. Use social media and tell everyone that now is the time to get serious about wildlife crime and end the demand that threatens species, big and small, from the huge elephant to the shy pangolin.28. How many endangered creatures are mentioned in the passage?A.4. B.5. C.6. D.7.29. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?A. Eight species of pangolins live on the same continent.B. Pangolins are not protected in most of their natural habitats.C. The scales of pangolins can be used as an ingredient for cooking.D. High demand contributes to the illegal trade of pangolins in East Asia.30. What can we know about the plan released by the US?A. Social media will be used to spread World Wildlife Day.B. Whether the plan will be worked out remains to be seen.C. The US will work together with other countries to protect wildlife.D. High demand contributes to the illegal trade of pangolins in East Asia.31. What is the authors intention of writing the passage?A. To inform us something about World Wildlife Day.B. To raise awareness of protecting endangered wildlife.C. To explain why pangolins are illegally traded in East Asia.D. To show how the United States is to fight the illegal trade in wildlife.DWhen going through major life changes, like changing careers, I would change the people with whom I spent the most time. Weve all gone through periods when the people in our lives have changedgraduation, moving to a new city, getting a new job, joining a new club, etc. I dont think I need to convince you just how much influence other people can have over your identity. If youve ever experienced a major switch in your people environment, then you know that you changes as well.Most people dont make these choices consciously (意识到地) though. You might consciously decide to spend more time with a certain friend, or you may ask someone out on a date to begin a new relationship. But few people choose their existing friendships deliberately.Theres no “getting rid of people”. People are always dropping into and out of each others lives. Associations grow into friendships, and friendships fade into associations. You dont get rid of anyone. The truth is that in order to make room for new people and new experiences, you may need to loosen up some of your existing connections.What about loyalty (忠诚)? Shouldnt you always be loyal to your friends? Once you have a close friend, even if their influence on you is slightly harmful, shouldnt you stick by them?Loyalty to a friend sometimes means having to let go. It means being loyal to their highest and best as well. If someone is destroying his health by smoking, for example, you arent showing loyalty by smoking right along with him. True loyally sometimes requires that you break damaging connections, get yourself back on solid ground, and then decide what you can really do to help your friend. It can take a lot of courage to tell someone, “Im sorry, but I cant have you in my life anymore. But even though this might seem like a selfish act at times, its often the best thing for the other person too. If a relationship is holding you back in some way, understand that it s also hurting the other person. For example, if you work for a violent boss, your acceptance of that situation is considered to be silent approval, encouraging your boss to continue to behave violently.32. When experiencing major life changes, people may_.A. join a new social communityB. influence their friends aroundC. choose their friendships purposelyD. have their people environment changed33. What docs the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Everyone has at least one friend.B. It is unnecessary to make new friends.C. Friendship still exists though theres less connection.D. You ought to treat your old and new friend equally.34. What is the authors opinion on the loyalty to friends?A. Never betray your close friends whatever happens.B. Correct their mistakes while you guard their goodness.C. Stick by your friends even though they do harm lo you.D. Break up with your friends immediately if they smoke.35. How should we behave when employed by a violent boss?A. We should accept what we are told to do.B. We should stay silent and be in favor of it.C. We should bravely disobey him if he is wrong.D. We should give our boss courage to continue.第二节（共5小題；毎小題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。Eyes can speakMuch meaning can be conveyed, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak. 36 In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not for too long. And if he senses that you are staring at him, he may feel uncomfortable.The same is true in our daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. 37 Eyes do speak, right? Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. 38 If a man stares ata woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her, his intentions are obvious.He wishes to attract her attention and let her know that he is admiring her. However, when two people are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listeners eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking. 39 If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if trying to control you, you will feel awkward. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim. He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. 40 Actually, eye contact should be made based on specific relationships and situations.A. On the contrary, it will give him away. B. Do you have such kind of experience?C. Thats what normal eye contact is all about.D. Actually, continuous eye contact is limited to lovers only.E. After all, nobody likes lo be stared at for quite a long time.F. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.G. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel annoyed at being stared at that way.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小題：毎小两1.5分: 满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I was 11 when you were born, and in your first few years l often looked after you, bathed and dressed you and took you out for walks.
