Even before the pay-it-forward system,Rosas Pizza always gave away free slices to hungry homeless people in the neighborhood.But one day last March,a customer asked if he could pay it forward and buy a slice for the next homeless person who walked in.Wartman immediately agreed,and then put up a sticky（粘的）note on the wall. Anyone who was hungry or broke could use the sticky note for a free slice. Word quickly spread and before long,more and more customers came in with similar offers.Before long,the walls were covered with over 500 sticky notes.Ever since that first customer paid it forward,over 8,500 slices have been given away to feed those in need.The homeless pizza recipients（接受者）can even leave their own messages on the wall expressing gratitude or motivation.One of the notes from a homeless customer at the restaurant read,I just want to thank everyone that donated to Rosas;it gave me a place to eat every day and the opportunity to get back on my feet.I shall start a new job tomorrow!21.What can we learn about Wartman?A.He used to be homeless himself.B.He was tired of his job on Wall Street.C.He has made lots of money by opening the pizza shop.D.He has successfully persuaded many people to donate.22.What are customers encouraged to do in Wartmans pizza shop?A.To work as volunteers in their free time.B.To invite the homeless to share their pizza.C.To give away free slices of pizza to the homeless.D.To donate money to those that are less fortunate.23.What does the underlined phrase get back on my fee mean?A.Make my own living.

D.Independent and reliable.BDo you know the differences between African and Asian elephants?African elephants have larger ears,and both male and female African elephants have tusks（象牙）while only male Asian elephants have tusks. African elephants have very useful trunks!Since they live where its always really hot,they get a trunk full of water and spray it on their backs.Then,they do he same thing with dust.The ends of their trunks work like little fingers.They use them to pick berries,grass,and other plants to eat.To drink,African elephants can suck up to two gallons of water in their trunks,then blow it into their mouths.If they sense danger,they use their trunks to make a loud warning sound.They even hug other elephants with their trunks.Do you know that the closest relative of elephants are manatees（海牛）?They can weigh up to 1,300 pounds and they are good swimmers.If theyre in really shallow water,they use their front flippers（鳍状肢）to walk while they eat sea plants and grasses.Because they are so slow and like warm,shallow water,manatees often get hurt by a part of the boat when the drivers dont see them.Manatees are sea mammals like whales and dolphins.They live in water,but they need to breathe air,so they often go to the surface of water.They can stay underwater for up to 15 minutes.25.From Paragraph 1 we know that .A.female Asian elephants dont have tusksB.Asian elephants are larger than African elephantsC.African elephants have smaller ears than Asian elephants D.male African elephants have longer tusks than female one26.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.The shape of African elephants trunks.B.The use of African elephants trunks.C.The way African elephants drink and eat.D.How African elephants use their trunks for protection.27.Why do manatees often go to the surface of water?A.Because they need to breathe air.B.Because they want to look for food.C.Because they want to watch out for danger.D.Because they can stay underwater for only 5 minutes.CWhile applying to college may seem easy,getting in can be tough!When you apply for college!you will have to be honest with yourself and do a bit of research to find the right fit.Here are three steps to take when applying to colleges for the best chances at getting into the best college for you.Step 1 Making a List of Colleges to Apply to With over 6,000 colleges in the United States,the first step in applying to college is to do some research and make a college list.This process will be different for everyone.The number of colleges you apply to can vary,from applying to 1 school (not recommended) to 30 schools (not recommended),each applicant can choose how many colleges they apply to.Many limit the number because applications are accompanied by a fee.Step 2 Splitting the List into Target,Reach and Safety SchoolsIn general,students will want to apply to three types of schools: Target,Reach and Safety schools.It is up to you how many applications you send,but a good mix would be more target than reach,and at least one safety.You will need to take your list,and now decide which are your top picks,which are attainable for you academically,which are affordable for you only with aid,and refine（精炼）your broad list into a group of schools that gives you the best chance for success.Talk to an admission counselor at your high school if you have questions about this.Step 3 Completing and Sending Applications to CollegesOnce your list is complete,you are ready to apply to college by completing and sending in applications!College applications take time to completeyou have to write.essays,ask for recommendations and get test scores sent to schoolsso stay organized!All colleges will require these types of application materials,so start thinking about these items well before October or December.Once you complete and send them,then you have successfully applied to college.28.What can be learned from the first paragraph?A.You should be cautious to pick up the right college.B.You dont have to think twice before applying to college. C.Once you apply to a college,youll be admitted to it easily.D.Each applicant should choose the best college as their ideal.29.To make a list of colleges,you .A.neednt consider about your abilityB.had better take your academy into accountC.are supposed to choose merely one most fitD.are required to pick out more than 30 colleges30.We can conclude from the text that .A.each applicant has the right to apply to any colleges for freeB.the more college one chooses,the more successful he will beC.safety schools are those that dont have so many requirementsD.applicants should send required materials before the deadline31.What is the text mainly about?A.How to succeed in life. B.How to apply to colleges.C.How to ask for information. D.How to do a research in college.DThinking about the future isnt special skill.Actually,everyone does it all the time.We schedule future activities and appointments on our calendars.We make to-do lists,a promise to ourselves of how we spend our future time and energy.We look up the weekends weather.We make predictions about the results of sporting events.We practice, study and train for upcoming events that matter to us.We daydream about events were eagerly looking forward to. We worry about others.Most of this common future thinking is about the near future: the next few minutes,hours,days,weeks,months or maybe even the next few years of our lives.Little time is spent thinking about what our lives will be like or what actions we should prepare to take in the far future: ten years,twenty years,or even fifty years from now.This kind of far-future thinking is the domain of professional futurists.Futurists are trained to imagine distant realities that seem impossible to others: technologies that dont exist yet, great changes to laws,strange diseases most likely to infect us in the year 2031.Why indeed think about such distant futures?Are there psychological and social benefits to imagining the world,and our lives,decades in advance?And if so,what does it take to become good at imagining the far future?These were the fascinating questions that we recently explored with other futurists.I was personally inspired by the discussions,and learned a lot about how futurists imagine the future of life.They specifically wanted to use their imaginations to make the world a better place.Another big benefit for me was that this way of thinking is a skill that can be taught.Society would benefit greatly if we all learned the valuable skills that enable us to think about what things would be like in the future.32.The writer gives many examples in the first paragraph to .A.entertain readers B.draw readers attentionC.explain the topic D.tell readers the main idea33.The underlined word domain in paragraph 2 can be replaced by .A.understanding B.field C.choice D.rule34.Which of the following things might a futurist think about?A.The weather of the coming weekend.B.The result of sporting event being held.C.A new technology widely used in daily life.D.A lifethreatening disease that doesnt exist yet.35.What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?A.The way futurists imagine the future of life is interesting.B.It is impossible for us to think about future things as futurists.C.Society will benefit a lot if we all train ourselves to think as a futurist.D.The idea of using imagination to make the world a better place is ridiculous.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。Making the Most of the Bodys ClockWant to know when the best time is to do your homework and study for your exams?Then just
