But, despite his strange ways, my mother responded to our neighbor, saw his need, and refused to let him go hungry on her watch. Helping him would not be easy he would see that but Mother managed to find a way of accomplishing her mission. Between the main kitchen and the summer kitchen was a narrow hall, which opened onto back porches. It looked and felt more like a barn（谷仓） than part of the house, so John considered it “an area where a man could stand without stepping into a womans territory”. On a shelf, by the back door, sat an old basket. Each morning, after breakfast, Mother would wrap biscuits and muffins in a towel and take them out to the basket. Father, and many of the workers, were welcomed to the baskets contents, but it was my mothers intention to always have something in the basket when Mr. Marshall walked out onto the porch and through the door for his breakfast or lunch. She would frequently put out a jar from the cupboard or a serving of baked beans for him to take home. In all my growing-up years, the basket was never empty. 21. The underlined part “her mission” in the 1st paragraph refers to _. A. changing Mr. Marshalls strange behaviors B. watching Mr. Marshall take meals from the basketC. helping Mr. Marshallwithout being noticed by himD. seeing Mr. Marshalls need and showing pity for him22. We can learn from the passage that _. A. Mr. Marshall was so rude that the writer didnt like himB. the old basket with food was intended for Mr. Marshall C. Mr. Marshall walked into the neighbors kitchen to get the food D. Mr. Marshall expressed his great gratitude to my mother23. Which word can best describe the writers mother? A. Generous and humorous.B. Kind and considerate. C. Clever and optimistic.D. Curious and warm-hearted.BThe annual Media conference was held in southern California this week. In the past years, it has offered an informative glimpse of the intersection（交集）of media and technology, a topic that usually ends up with the newcomers like Buzzfeed and Vox being praised and the old media like The New York Times and the magazine industry declining.This year, however, everyones in the same boat. Less than two months into 2016, the year has already been hard for digital media companies and their employees. Companies including Buzzfeed have been laying off employees.“Old ” media, as it is called in the industry, is also depressing. Newspapers would be steadily cutting staff over the next three years, and fashion magazines for both men and women have suffered severe layoff problems and, in the case of Lucky and Details, shutdowns.Cosmopolitans editor-in-chief Joanna Coles faced a series of questions about the future of print media and how it should make profits online. Despite all the evidence of prints difficult future, she offered little other than optimism. “Im not nervous about any of it because I think its all incredibly exciting.” But with digital media having already entered its awkward teenage phase not yet a mature adult, but certainly beyond its childhood those answers did little to reduce the industry panic that is getting harder to ease.Thats why executives (高级管理人员) from old media companies had to face tough interviews. And thats why conversations centered on whether the optimism of the digital media boom years had given way to a cruel reality: The Internet is really hard, much harder than anybody seemed to expect.At a conference of the mostly media insiders, it took a relative outsider to really speak some hard truth.24. Lucky and Details (in Paragraph 3) are probably _ A. business magazinesB. print media C. digital newspapersD. international conferences25. The example of Joanna Coles statement is used to imply _. A. what difficulties the media industry is having B. that people are losing confidence in the media industry C. what attitude teenagers hold toward the media industry D. why Coles feels excited about the future of the media industry26. What could probably be talked about in the following part? A. Exciting speeches given by executives. B. Effective governmental measures put forward. C. Some negative remarks about the media industry. D. Heated conversations among media companies. CEurope was once a mixture of Latin-derived (起源于拉丁语的) dialects that gradually, over the centuries, changed into a few separate languages French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian. What happened in France, Portugal and Spain was an organic evolution: the dialect of the most prominent city gradually became the accepted language of the whole region. The strongest city determined the language of the whole country.Italy was different. It didnt set itself united until 1861 and until then was a land of warring city-states ruled by proud local princes or other European powers. So its not surprising that, for centuries, Italians wrote and spoke in local dialects that were not possible for each other to understand.In the 16th century, some Italians got together and decided that this was absurd and Italy needed an Italian language, at least a shared written language to remove communication obstacles. So this gathering hand-picked the most beautiful of all the local dialects and crowned it Italian. What they decided was the personal language of the great poet Dante Alighieri. It was in this “sweet new style” of dialect that his masterpiece Divine Comedy (神曲), which was published in 1321, was written. It shocked the literature world that it was not written in Latin.Dantes masterpiece helped shape Italian, affecting it as personally as Shakespeare would someday affect English. For a group of nationalists much later in history to have sat down and decided that Dantes Italian would now be the official language of Italy would be very much as if a group of Oxford teachers had sat down one day in the early nineteenth century and decided that from this point forward everybody in England was going to speak pure Shakespeare. And it actually worked.27. The underlined word “prominent” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.A. comfortableB. beautifulC. importantD. ancient28. What can we learn about Italy from Paragraph 2 and 3? A. A national Italian language was in need as people hated wars.B. There was no written language in Italy before the 16th century. C. Some Italians had the great poet Dante create the national Italian language. D. Literature works were supposed to be written in Latin before the 14th century.29. The passage is mainly about _.A. the origin of the Italian language B. the development of the European languagesC. Dantes great efforts in shaping Italian D. Shakespeares influence on English language30. How is the passage developed? A. By analyzing effects.B. By making comparisons. C. By offering descriptions. D. By telling a story.第二节（共5小题；每题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。 Do you find yourself getting angry at everything that inconveniences you?
