Other days of the week she would spend two hours on three buses from her apartment to get to the other work, for a four-hour round trip.That was the “before” part of her life. The “after” part of her life was started by the community Police Officer Trevor Arnold, who delivered a used car to her with the help of a car dealer and other donors.Arnold, who spotted Meade, red and sweaty, riding her bike in the worst heat this summer, decided he would get her a car. He intended to quietly buy her a used car out of his own pocket so he turned to his friend Kody Slaght, a car salesman to ask about a car priced $ 1,000. That wasnt enough for a reliable ride, Slaght said, but the dealership said they would find a good car for her at a good price. Soon others were donating. Slaght and Arnold wouldnt say how much the car cost, but the value is about $ 4,000.Arnold said he was motivated by Meades work ethic (职业道德) to help. “I see a lot of hardworking people but thats when they are at work. Can you imagine spending four hours of you day getting to and from work?” he said.Meades boss said she was awesome and really reliable when she worked and she got along with others. “Shes willing to ride the three buses to get in here on her day off if we need her to.”Meade said she was planning to buy a car, “but I havent been able to afford it,” she said. “Trevor, he is a very good guy. I did not expect this.”24. What can we learn about Jo Meades work?A. Its free but low-paid.B. Its not worth her devotion.C. Its time-consuming on the road.D. Its competitive and high-paid.25. Why did Slaght disagree to Arnolds buying a car priced $ 1,000?A. The car was too expensive for Meade.B. The car was beyond Arnolds affordability.C. The car had been donated to another person.D. The car was not in good condition of driving.26. What inspired Arnold to buy a car for Meade?A. His sympathy for Meade.B. His duty as a policeman.C. Her desire for a better life.D. Her commitment to work.27. Whats Meades feeling for the donated car?A. Normal.B. Surprised.C. Embarrassed. D. Disappointed.CAfter years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By the end of last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations major food sources for the wolf grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the parks red foxes, and completely drove away the parks beavers.As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.28. What is the text mainly about?A. Wildlife research in the United States.B. Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.C. The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.D. The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.29. What does the underlined word “displaced” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Tested.B. Separated.C. Forced out.D. Tracked down.30. What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about?A. Preservation of vegetation. B. A decline in the parks income.C. Damage to local ecology. D. An increase in the variety of animals.31. What is the authors attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project?A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Disapproving. D. Uncaring.DThe Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named DriveLAB in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated and inactive.Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, and giving them the freedom to get out without having to rely on others.”“But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.”Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains: “The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.” “For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. Were looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.”“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”32. What is the purpose of the DriveLAB?A. To explore new means of transport.B. To design new types of cars.C. To find out older drivers problems.D. To teach people traffic rules.33. Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?A. It helps them save time.B. It keeps them independent.C. It builds up their strength.D. It cures their mental illnesses.34. What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?A. Develop driver-assist technologies.B. Improve their driving skills.C. Provide tips on driving safely.D. Organize regular physical checkups.35. What is the best title for the text?A. A new Model Electric CarB. A Solution to Traffic ProblemsC. Driving Services for EldersD.

So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule：Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when Im already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already？ 37Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal，make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread？ 38 It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.39 This may surprise you，but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try，the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully that gives you a good start. 40 and dont let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!ATry new things.BAbility is easily improved.CMake three or four instead.DUnderstand your food better.ECooking is a burden for many people.FLet cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.GA little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.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小题，每小题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和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。No one is born a winner.
