lahore, pakistan, komal ahmads parents decided to move the family to las vegas when she was very young. her mother studied to become a nurse and quickly increased the familys income. she later attended uc berkeley. komal was interested in becoming a naval doctor and was part of rotc in college. she always wanted to serve her country. she didnt realize then that serving her country would later become food-related.it was 2011, when komal ahmad, a senior in college at the time, walked past a young man on the street who was begging for food. she invited him to sit down for a meal. at the same time, a few feet away, the dining hall was throwing away pounds of delicious food. witnessing this, komal knew she was meant to do something about the situation. komal started a student group that recovered food from campus and distributed it to local non-profit organizations.as rewarding as this was, something bothered her. one day, she got a call from the dining hall manager, who had 500 sandwiches left over from an event. komal needed to pick them up before they spoiled(变质). she rented a car, loaded it with the food, and called non-profit organizations. she found takers for only 25 sandwiches. knowing it shouldnt be that hard to help people, she extended her rental reservations in order to push the sandwiches. then the light bulb moment she was waiting for: what if there was an app that could pair people who had food with people who needed it? and thus, copia was born.companies use the app to report when they have leftover food. when charity agencies first register with

copia.caverage humans can consume 15 or more drinks in plastic bottles a month. if you were born after 1978, and live until 80 years old, you will leave behind a minimum of 14,400 plastic bottles on this planet. these bottles take hundreds of years to break down into tiny pieces of plastic, never to completely disappear. most of the waste is consumed by fish and birds, which has shortened their lifespans(寿命) greatly.the plastic bottle village is just a great idea that might finally save us from being buried in plastic. its a community in panama that is going to be made of used bottles. the design process begins with building steel frames, which are then filled with these bottles. once this step is complete, and electrical and plumbing lines are put inside, the plastic walls are covered by concrete both inside and outside. so no one will actually be able to tell that the walls are made of plastic. besides, the material will keep the house 17 cooler than the outside, which is the biggest benefit to people living inside.the village is the brainchild(主意) of robert bezeau with the intention of setting up several environmental projects. having started a recycling program four years ago, during which a number of plastic bottles were collected, he started to think of how they could be put to use. soon enough, he decided to use them to build houses, and came up with a basic idea for the construction process.the project hopes to make people conscious of the waste that these bottles create so that they can do more to protect the environment. the village will also create an education center that will teach individuals from the world how to reuse plastic bottles as construction materials for shelter. recycled bottles could neutralize the negative effect of your passage on this planet, and move closer to leaving only your footprints.8.what do the figures in the first paragraph show?a. the reason for buying fewer drinks.b. the seriousness of plastic pollution.c. the amount of plastic waste.d. the difficult situation of wildlife.9.why are the homes in the village special?a. theyre green buildings.b. theyre 17 warmer inside.c. they stop plastic pollution.d. theyre entirely made of plastic bottles.10.which word can best describe robert?a. responsible.b. considerate.c. creative.d. sensitive.11.what does the project want to do through these homes?a. provide shelter for locals.b. reuse all deserted plastic bottles.c. popularize the use of plastic bottles.d. raise peoples environmental awareness.d its difficult to think of a better-known work of art than leonardo da vincis mona lisa. michelangelos the creation of adam on the ceiling of the sistine chapel comes close, but thats a detail of a huge work, not a work of art on its own. images by many 20th-century artists like spains pablo picasso and the us andy warhol are also instantly recognizable. however, no other painting is nearly as famous as the portrait in oils of a fashionable young lady of florence, italy.this painting isnt just famous because the image is now able to be reproduced over and over again. its fame has at least something to do with the fact that its a fine piece of work. da vinci was a leader in the revolution in painting in the renaissance period. the renaissance was more centered around humans than previous european culture was, and the mona lisa is a fine example of renaissance humanism. the work is about a person. the woman da vinci painted does not represent a religious idea, but is an individual whom one feels that one could talk to and know.and the question of who the woman is has always interested the public. the earliest answer, from 1517, is that she was just a certain florentine lady, but in 1550, famous historian and painter giorgio vasari said she was mona lisa, the wife of silk merchant francesco del giocondo. over the centuries, a number of other women have been put forth as the model, including a suggestion that da vinci used himself, looking in a mirror, as well as the idea that she was painted from da vincis imagination. the work invites the viewer/reader to discover for himself or herself, perhaps invent, what it means.leonardo kept it himself, and took it with him to milan, rome, and france, and used it as a calling card, said larry feinberg from the art institute of chicago sort of an advertisement: hey, look what i painted! i can paint for you, too!12.why does the author refer to three other artists?a. to show the mona lisa is very famous.b. to compare da vinci with other painters.c. to introduce different great painters.d. to prove no other painter is equal to da vinci.13.what is stressed by mentioning the renaissance?a. painting skills of the mona lisa.b. different attitudes to the mona lisa.c. the economic value of the mona lisa.d. the tradition-breaking idea of the mona lisa.14.what helped the mona lisas popularity according to paragraph 3?a. its being painted from imagination.b. its being open to interpretation.c. da vincis using himself as the model.d. many womens claiming to be the model.15.what does feinberg say about da vinci?a. he was eager to paint for people.b. he fell in love with the mona lisa.c. he used the mona lisa to earn a reputation.d. he made a fortune through the mona lisa.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。starting a new job? here are some practical tips on what you should do on your first day at the office.show up early. arriving five to ten minutes early gives you time to settle in. 16 to make sure you can arrive early, give yourself extra time to get ready in the morning and to travel to your destination. if possible, consider practicing the full commute(上下班路程) to work during rush hour to get used to the route.be enthusiastic, but not overbearing (专横的). it can be difficult to find the right balance between making an effect in your new role and breaking the balance of the delicate office atmosphere. you dont want to walk in and make a strong impression. 17 experts suggest that you try to balance energy and enthusiasm with modesty on your first day in a new role. 18 it might seem difficult not to draw comparisons between your new job and the one you just left. 19 while you might think youre adding value when you talk about your old job, it can seem like youre pining for it. instead of drawing comparisons, only mention similarities with your previous role in support of your new one.take plenty of notes. its a great idea to bring a small notebook and pen with you on your first day for taking down notes. 20 youre likely to face data overload on your first day. so taking notes is a great way to keep on top of things. plus, making notes by hand can lead to a better memory for information.a. be positive and show interest.b. avoid mentioning your old job.c. but you should definitely resist the urge.d. yet dont come so early that you seem too eager.e. but you dont want to fade into the background either.f. dont be shy about recording information that will be useful to you later.g. so ask questions, take notes, and appear engaged while offering your own ideas.第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节
