A

Little Women is the best-known work of author Louisa May Alcott. Published after the end of the Civil War, the book is about the lives of the author and her sisters. Although it was her most successful work, it was not her first.

Alcott began writing at the ag e of 20, when she published her poem “Sunlight”. Throughout her early career, she wrote many poems and short stories for magazines. At the age of 22, she began to write fairy tales, romantic thrillers, and other novels, mostly to earn money. At a time when few opportunities were open to women, Alcott supported women’s right to work. With her small income, she had long provided for her family.

When the Civil War broke out, Alcott, at the age of 30, joined the war effort to fight against slavery. She had originally wished to serve as a soldier. However, women were not allowed in battle at that time. As a result, she became a Civil War nurse. Alcott’s work as a nurse ser ved as a milestone (里程碑) in her writing career.

In December of 1862, she left New England to work in the Union Hotel Hospital in Washington, DC. There were few supplies, and doctors performed operations without painkillers. The conditions for patients and doctors were terrible. Within a few weeks, Alcott herself became so ill that she nearly died. She returned home and recovered slowly over a period of months.

As soon as her health improved, Alcott started a new project. The letters she had sent home became the basis of a newspaper series about her experience as a Civil War nurse. She wrote about her tasks, the wounded soldiers she looked after, and the difficulties they faced. The series, Hospital Sketches,was a success, which received praise from readers and critics (批评) at the same time. Although her best-known work was yet to come, the success of Hospital Sketches marked the achievement of her dream to become a popular author.

21. In her early 20s, Alcott wrote mostly to ___.

A. make money to support her family

B. fight against slavery

C. remember her experiences in the war

D. set up a milestone in her career

22. Why was Alcott’s experience as a nurse important to her writing?

A. Because she saved many wounded soldiers.

B. Because she almost lost her life in the hospital.

C. Because she won the right to fight against slavery.

D. Because she got many materials for her later book.

23. What can we know about Alcott from the last two paragraphs?

A. Her hospital was well equipped.

B. She didn’t return to the hospital after recovery.

C. She wrote letters for a newspaper.

D. No one thought badly of her Hospital Sketches.

B

When Joanne Morton and Lydia Shaw came across the Boston Public Market, which features only New England businesspersons, they knew they had to stop in. The women, visiting from southeastern Connecticut, al ways try to buy local. “We always try to support our local farmers and businessmen,” says Ms. Shaw. “We’re not into big companies,” adds Ms. Morton.

They aren’t al one. A great number of Americans continue to be attracted by “local” food and to buy it, acc ording to recent surveys from the International Food Information Council Foundation, the Pew Research Center, and British polling firm Ipsos. But what does it mean to shop local? For some, local is still a matter of geography. For others, it is about supporting their local economy (经济). And for still others, it is about knowing where their food comes from and how it is made, even if it is coffee shipped from a Costa Rican company. In 2008, Congress passed a bill that gave money to support local food. According to the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act, a product that can be considered local has to travel less than 400 miles.

But Lydia Zepeda, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has found the largest agreement about what is local is any product that comes from within an hour’s drive. “But is that with or without traffic?”She asks. “What if it crosses

state lines?”adds John Hayes, a food science professor at Pennsylvania State University. “A customer might like to buy local to help an old town,”he says. “Or maybe it’s just because local food tastes better.”It is for Kaitlin Bohon. “I taste a difference,” she says at the Boston Public Market. For Ms. Bohon, buying local is both about supporting New England business and knowing who grew and handled her food.

24. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. We never go into big companies.

B. We’re not interested in big companies.

C. Big companies don’t support local farmers.

D. Big companies are not good shopping places.

25. According to the passage, buying local ___________ in America.

A. is becoming more and more popular

B. is a way to support big companies

C. means people will spend much less

D. allows people to know about their food

26. What can be inferred about Kaitlin Bohon according to the text?

A. She is from New England.

B. She knows every cook in her town.

C. She likes to taste different foods.

D. She works at the Boston Public Market.

27. The purpose of the passage is ___________.

A. to introduce how popular buying local is

B. to attract more people to buying local

C. to explain why people like buying local

D. to discuss the meaning of buying local

C

Bees may soon need to add protein shakes to their diet. Pollen (花粉) normally provides their protein (蛋白质). But rising levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air have reduced the protein in pollen. That’s what a new study finds.

Scientists compared recently collected flowers from Canada goldenrod. Then they

compared pollen in them to pollen in goldenrod reserved at a museum in Washington, DC. They found today's plants have less protein. Protein levels in pollen from the older flowers were 18 percent. Today's goldenrod pollen has only about 12 percent protein. That's about one-third less than 172 years ago. Over that same period, CO2 levels have gone up by more than one-third. Back more than 170 years ago, they were about 280 parts per million in air. Today they are about 398 ppm.

To test whether CO2changes had played a role in the falling protein levels, the researchers did some tests. They grew goldenrod for two years at CO2levels of up to 500 ppm. More CO2in the air led to lower levels of protein in the flowers’ pollen.

Joan Edwards, one of the researchers, says that this drop in pollen protein could affect a bee’s diet and health. It would be like eating junk food, tasting good but offering less nutrition (营养).

Honeybees need to eat lots of protein. They use it to feed their young. They also need it to keep their immune systems healthy, says Cédri c Alaux, a bee biologist at the French agricultural research agency.

Bee populations have been decreasing worldwide in recent years. A drop in their food quality might play a role, Edwards says. And that drop might affect crops too. “The health of the bee population is not just for the flowers and the bees and biodiversity.” She worries it also could play a role in“human health and well-being.”

28. The second paragraph is mainly developed by __________.

A. giving examples

B. following the time order

C. explaining reasons

D. providing numbers

29. According to the text, Joan Edwards might agree that ____________.

A. the drop of protein in pollen has a good influence on bees

B. today’s flowers can pro vide bees with enough nutrition

C. the drop of protein in pollen leads to a smaller population of bees

D. the smaller population of bees has nothing to do with the human race

30. What is the main idea of the text?

A. Today’s flowers contain more protein.

B. Protein levels in pollen connect with CO2 levels.

C. Drop of protein in pollen affects bees.

D. Bee population is becoming smaller recently.

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。

Body language provides a lot of information on what other people are thinking.

A research has shown that 55% of communication comes from body language. 31 Next time you’re in a meeting, watch for these cues (暗示):

Real smiles crinkle (使起皱纹) the eyes. When it comes to smiling, the mouth

can lie but the eyes can’t. Real smiles reach the eyes, crinkling the skin to create crow’s feet around them. People often smile to hide what they’re really thinking

and feeling, so the next time you want to know if someone’s smile is real, look for crinkles at the corners of their eyes. 32

33 Have you ever been in a meeting with someone and noticed that every

time you cross or uncross your legs, they do the same? Or perhaps they lean their head the same way as yours when you’re talking? That’s actually a good sign. It means that the conversation is going well and that the other party accepts your message.

Eyes that lie. Most of u s believe that it’s difficult to hold someone’s gaze

(凝视) when they’re lying. But that’s such common knowledge that people will often

try to hold eye contact, hoping to cover up the fact that they’re lying. 34 If you’re talking with someone whose gaze is making you uncomfortable, something

is up and they might be lying to you.

Even if you can’t read a person’s exact thoughts, you can lear n a lot from their body language. 35

A. Copying your body language is a good thing.

B. If they aren’t there, that smile is hiding something.

C. Good sings lead to good conversations in a meeting.

D. You’ll have to find out how long they have looked at you.

E. Learning how to understand that 55% can give you a lot of help.

F. That’s especially true when words and body language don’t match.

G. The problem is that most of them will hold eye contact until it feels uncomfortable.

的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Like millions of people around the world, I used to spend every December making a New Year’s resolution or two. However, by February, like clockwork, exactly 36 would be achieved.

When I was younger, this didn’t 37 me all that much. But in my 20s I realized that trying to keep a 38 New Year’s resolution was like writing a novel or climbing a mountain —it just wasn’t achievable.

So, 39 focusing o n one large thing and giving up when I didn’t succeed, I decided to make a 40 of little things I wanted to work on during the year. So far this has 41 things like keeping my house a little bit 42 , spending more time with my dog and even dropping a few pounds. My 43 has been to focus on taking small steps every day.

I’m now making 44 toward those goals without feeling 45 pressured or disappointed that I haven’t done more. Simple upgrades like wiping down my bathroom sink every day after 46 my makeup (化妆品) have become second 47 to me. While losing weight, I focus on cutting just a pound at a time.

I don’t even 48 these New Year’s resolutions, and that helps to make my small goals feel more achievable. They’re just little goals I’ve set to be h appier and healthier over time. I also 49 myself once in a while along the way. For example, I 50 myself a new pair of sneakers when I ran three weeks out of the month. And then there’s the free time I naturally have in tidying the bathroom sink

every day, which takes less time than a deep 51 on a Sunday.

If keeping your New Year’s resolution is harder than you thought, the 52 to success might be giving up the idea of resolutions 53 . Instead, 54 your goals into small milestones you can easily reach daily or weekly—and enjoy the 55 feeling of meeting each and every mini goal.

36. A. something B. anything C. everything D.

nothing

37. A. bother B. spoil C. help D. harm

38. A. logical B. huge C. artificial D.

A few days ago some of the world’s most famous musicians gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first International Jazz Day. UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day 56_____ (raise) awareness (认识) of jazz music and its importance across ____57_____ (culture).

Text 5

W: Honey, you don’t have to get up so early and do all the housework by yourself. You’re so sweet.

Back to the news. Last Friday a storm hit two villages destroying fourteen houses. Seven others were so badly damaged that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows. One person was killed, and nine were badly injured and taken to hospital. A number of other people received small injuries. Altogether over two hundred were left homeless as a result of the storm. A farmer said the storm began early in the morning and lasted over an hour. He was in the kitchen with his wife and his children when they heard a loud noise. A few minutes later their house fell down on top of them. They managed to climb out but then he saw that one of his children was missing. He went back inside and found him safe but very frightened. A woman said that her husband had just left for work when she noticed that her house was shaking. She rushed outside immediately with her children. There was no time for her to take anything. A few minutes later, the roof came down. Soldiers went to the area to help the people in trouble.
