Instead of feeling sorry for myself, I wanted to meet people and have new experiences so I decided to start volunteering. I searched on my computer and found a website where I could volunteer on a farm in France.My time working on a farm was a new experience for me. It was basically a free holiday as food and accommodation were provided. However, it was not your typical holiday as I had to look after fifteen horses and sleep at the top of a tower in a castle! I was an awful farmer but it did not matter because I made some great friends.However, you do not need to go abroad to volunteer. I have had plenty of adventures at home as volunteering can become a hobby. For example, I love singing so I had a good laugh waving my arms in an attempt to conduct my local choir. I did slowly improve and it felt great to conduct the choir in a concert. At university, I organized a concert for charity with my friends. It was really fun finding bands and raising money for a cause we believe in.It is true that you feel good volunteering but there are also other advantages. I once volunteered as a server at a charity sports event where the organizers gave me cupcakes to thank me for my services. I also volunteered in a charity shop so I found loads of nice cheap clothes to update my wardrobe.While this is all fun, my favorite aspect of volunteering is creating and sharing stories. My terrible attempts at farming have given me hilarious stories to tell!Talking to volunteers from different countries and backgrounds has also helped me learn more about the world. I feel thankful to have had so much fun with many nice people thanks to volunteering.24. Why did the author want to volunteer? A. He wanted to go abroad.B. He felt ashamed of himself.C.

Swimmers will be able to look down 35meters to the street below as they take a dip, with only 20cm of glass between them and the outside world. Its even got a bar, folding chairs and an orange garden.The pool will be part of Embassy Gardens at Nine Elms, a huge15 billion building project beside the new American Embassy in southwest London. The project is creating thousands of apartments, the smallest of which are expected to cost nearly $1 million, and the pool will only be open to the apartments owners.Embassy Gardens takes design inspiration from the Meatpacking District of New York with floor to ceiling windows and brick frontages. The designer, Sean Mulryan, desired to push the boundaries in the capability of construction and engineering and do something that had never been done before. The Sky Pools transparent structure is the result of significant advancements in technologies over the last decade.The experience of the pool will be truly unique and it will feel like floating through the air in central London.Those people lucky enough to swim there will have a perfect view of the Palace of Westminster and the London Eye. It will be a selling point for developers when the second stage of the development is released to market.28. Who can swim in the Sky Pool? A. Anyone at Nine Elms.B. Visitors to London.C.

These chemicals are said to be harmless to human health. In fact, the chemicals are considered so safe that we wash with them. We put them on our bodies and even our faces. Other chemical products are used throughout our homes.By the time you walk out of your front door, you have already been exposed to thousands of chemicals.On its own, each chemical seems harmless. But in combination with other chemicals, they may become deadly. That is the finding of a twoyear study by a highprofile（高调的）task force of scientists. The task force was told to investigate the cancercausing possibility of chemical mixtures.Linda Gulliver was one of the 174scientists on the task force. Their job was to study the cancercausing potential of 85chemicals. All 85are said to be common in the environment.Ms. Gulliver explains that chemicals have the potential or ability to form dangerous mixtures. Even simple minerals can become dangerous when mixed with chemicals found in plastics or beauty products.Working in groups, the scientists explored how different chemical mixtures could lead to cancer. Ms. Gullivers team looked at the ability of different combinations to support the increase of malignant（恶性的）human cells.She says the current way to identify whether chemicals cause cancer is to test them one at a time. This method leads, she adds, to a long list of supposedly safe chemicals. She and her team say that approach needs to change.We definitely need certain researchto find out what mixtures of chemicals would be more harmful than others; what groups of chemicals, when together, would produce more harmful effects. And at the moment, that is not known.An estimated one in five cancers has been linked to chemical exposure. It may turn out that the cancercausing villain（恶人） is not a single chemical at all.32. What effect may one single chemical have on us according to the text? A. It may destroy our body.B. It may not cause danger to us.C. It may let us suffer from cancer.D. It may let our body make a change.33. What can we learn about Ms. Gullivers research? A. She has found 85cancercausing chemicals.B. She has found reasons for five kinds of cancers.C. She has found that only one chemical can cause cancer.D. She is not sure what mixtures of chemicals are more harmful.34. According to the text，we can infer that the study .A. is just wasting time and moneyB. is still in need of great effortsC. will cause panic in publicD. will be resisted by the public35. What is the best title for the text? A. Mixtures of Safe Chemicals May Cause CancerB. Being Exposed to One Chemicals Is DangerousC. How Mixtures of Safe Chemicals Come into Being?D. What Is the Real Cause For Cancer?笫二节（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If you find yourself losing the motivation to do your homework, you are not alone.(36) If you want to get good grades, of course, you must do your homework.

However, it is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another （1）.Social scientists are of course （2）interested in these types of questions. They want to explain why we possess certain （3） and exhibit certain behavior. There are no clear answers yet, but two （4） schools of thought on the matter have developed. （5） one might expect, the two approaches are very different from each other, and there is a great deal of debate between （6）of each theory. The controversy is often referred to as nature and nurture.Those who （7） the nature side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are （8） determined by biological factors. That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics and behavior is （9） to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory states that our behavior is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our （10）.Supporters of the nurture theory, or, as they are often called, （11）, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. A behaviorist, B. F. Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely （12） by their surroundings. The behaviorists view of the human being is quite mechanistic. They state that, like machines, humans respond to （13） stimuli（刺激） as the basis of their behavior.Socially and politically, the results of these two theories are （14）. In the US, for example, blacks often score below whites on intelligence tests. This leads some nature supporters to conclude that blacks are genetically （15） in status than whites are. Behaviorists, （16）, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often robbed of many of the educational and other environmental （17） that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same （18） that whites do.Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. As a matter of fact, it is quite （19） that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes and that the debate will （20）for a long time is certain.（1）A sensitiveB productiveC competitiveD impressive（2）A frequentlyB extremelyC generallyD occasionally（3）A approachesB possessionsC characteristicsD friends（4）A differentB reliableC excellentD equal（5）A WhatB AsC WhichD That（6）A objectorsB operatorsC opponentsD supporters（7）A claimB supportC resolveD object（8）A
