第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Microsoft has developed a new smartphone app that interprets eye signals and translates them into letters, allowing people with motor neurone disease to communicate with others from a phone.
The GazeSpeak app combines a smartphone’s camera with artificial intelligence to recognize eye movements in real time and convert them into letters, words and sentences. For people suffering from ALS（渐冻症）, also known as motor neurone disease, eye movement can be the only way they are able to communicate.
“Current eye-tracking input systems for people with ALS or other motor impairments are expensive, not robust under sunlight, and require frequent re-calibration and substantial, relatively immobile setups,” said Xiaoyi Zhang, a researcher at Microsoft who developed the technology.
“To mitigate the drawbacks…we created GazeSpeak, an eye-gesture communication system that runs on a smartphone, and is designed to be low-cost, robust, portable and easy to learn.”
The app is used by the listener by pointing their smartphone at the speaker. A chart that can be stuck to the back of the smartphone is then used by the speaker to determine which eye movements to make in order to communicate.
The sticker shows four grids of letters, which each correspond to a different eye movement. By looking up, down, left or right, the speaker selects which grids the letters they want belong to. The artificial intelligence algorithm is then able to predict the word or sentence they are trying to say.
Zhang’s research, Smartphone-Based Gaze Gesture Communication for People with Motor Disabilities, is set to be presented at the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in May.
21．What should people with motor neurone disease do when they communicate with other people?
A．They need speak to the smartphone loudly.
B．They have to predict the sentence they are trying to say.
C．They need choose a grid on the back of the smartphone with eye movements.
D．They should work out the artificial intelligence algorithm in the smartphone.
22．How does the Gaza Speak app work?
A．The GazaSpeak app can hear what the speakers say.
B．The GazaSpeak app can convey speakers movements to the listeners’ smartphone.
C．The camera in the phone can record speakers’ gestures and predict what they want to say.
D．The artificial intelligent camera in the phone can recognize eye signals and translate them into words and sentences.
23．Which of the following statement is true ?
A．DazaSpeak is designed for blind people.
B．GazaSpeak is low-cost, robust, portable and easy to learn.
C．Current eye-tracking input systems don’t need any re-calibration and setups.
D．Smartphones with GazaSpeak app have been popular among people with Motor Diseases
B
One second-grade student wanted to help erase school lunch debt for her fellow students, so she decided to create lemonade stands to raise funds（资金）.
Amiah Van Hill was inspired to raise funds to help pay off her classmates’ lunch debt back in May after reading about Jeffery Lew. The father of three crowd-funded to cover the cost of unpaid lunches in the Seattle School District, where his 8-year-old son took part. “She’s a really strong reader, so she read the story and said, ‘Wow, this is great! I wonder if there's any kids at my school that need help paying their lunches,’” said her mother ,Rachel Van Hill.
Amiah, 6, and Aria, 4, discovered that at Hayden Meadows Elementary School in Idaho, the unpaid lunch debt was $40.55. They set up a lemonade stand last month to raise the money, with a sign reading, “Lemonade 4 Lunch.” During their first set-up, the two met their goal within an hour.
The school was very much appreciative. Principal Lisa Pica said “Our school believes in giving back to the community and we are excited that Amiah has got that value at such a young age and we are so proud that she has found a way to help those in need. She is a very special little lady.”
After discovering it was “easy” to pay off one school’s debt, they set up another lemonade stand a week later to raise money for two more local schools. The girls then decided to set their sights higher and raise funds for the entire Coeur d’Alene Public School district. In 22 days, they’ve raised more than $2,700. The school district is excited to recognize her for her good deed.
24．What made Amiah decide to create lemonade stands?
A．Her own lunch debt. B．Her reading interest.
C．The advice from her mother. D．The example of Jeffery Lew.
25．Why is Amiah called “a special little lady” by her principal?
A．She learned to sell lemonade.
B．She was proud of her community.
C．She helped the community in her own way.
D．She helped her school set the school value.
26．When did Amiah decide to raise money for Coeur d’Alene Public School district?
A．After raising more than $2,700.
B．When she was praised by her school.
C．After raising money for two more schools.
D．When people in the district recognized her.
27．Which of the following can best describe the character of Amiah?
A．Caring and helpful. B．Hard-working and curious.
C．Learned and kind. D．Easy-going and generous.
C
Going green is becoming increasingly attractive as a business strategy.As scientists and politicians debate the truth of global warming and dwindling(逐渐减少的) natural resources，green industry practices are not only supported by the public，but enjoying the benefits of cost savings，supportive government policies and everincreasing profits.Trends in shopping，government policies and costs all point towards more green industry opportunities in the years ahead.
The green industry focuses on making a profit while having a negligible(微不足道的) impact on the environment.And more and more consumers are interested in environmentally friendly business practices and products.A recent survey found that 88% of Americans believe taking care of the Earth is very important—but only 52% believe that the government should be taking action to protect it.So green business can benefit either way：greater consumer interest or more protective policy！Globally，a report from 2014 says that 55% of consumers across 60 countries are willing to pay higher prices for goods from environmentallyconscious(有环保意识的) companies.A 2013 study claims that 71% of Americans at least consider the environment as a factor when shopping.Organic food sales in particular seem to have turned a corner，jumping 11.3% in 2014，while overall food sales grew only 3%.Organic food has become far more popular over the last several years—expanding well beyond the market it once was.Sales in 2014 were over 35 billion—compared to only 3.4 billion in 1997.Growth is expected to continue strongly until at least 2018.Clearly，consumers care more now than ever about green industry and have the resources to find the products that meet their requirements.
We can be sure that producing more pollution is never going to seem like a good idea again.Green industry methods are on the rise because they’re increasingly demanded by consumers，sought after by businessmen and required by governments.Sustainable(可持续的) business practices acknowledge the finite resources available and reduce costs through renewable resources；they attract more and more customers and have enormous potential to grow into the mainstream.For both individuals and companies，the green industry makes sense now，and probably forever.
28．According to the passage，which of the following may be regarded as a “green industry”？
A．The mining industry. B．The chemical industry.
C．The manufacturing industry. D．The solar energy industry.
29．The author uses figures in the second paragraph to show that .
A．more and more consumers care about green industry
B．many people are willing to buy organic food
C．people at least consider the environment as a factor when shopping
D．all people believe that the government should take action to protect the Earth
30．The underlined word，“finite”，in the last paragraph most probably means “ ”．
A．exhausted B．abundant C．traditional D．limited
31．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．The advantages of the green industry.
B．An analysis of perspective of the green industry.
C．A basic introduction to the green industry.
D．Marketing strategies for the green industry.
D
I read a newspaper article about a new concept. The idea is simple, but revolutionary(革命性的): combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents(住户)eat lunch together and share activities such as music, painting and gardening. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading stories to the children and, if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a hug.
Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care for ageing relations, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the result is the same: increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. It’s a major problem in many societies.
That’s why inter-generational(代际的) programs are growing in popularity all over the world. There are examples of successful actions all over the world. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another. One successful scheme in London pairs young volunteers with old people who are losing their sight. The young people help with practical things such as writing letters, reading bank statements and helping with shopping, and the older people can pass on their knowledge and experience to their young visitors. For example, a retired judge may be paired with a teenager who wants to study law.
But it isn’t only the individuals concerned who gain from inter-generational activities. The advantages to society are huge too. If older people can understand and accept the youth of today, there will be less conflict in a community. And we can use the strengths of one generation to help another. Then perhaps getting old won’t be so sad after all.
32．Why does the author mention the newspaper article he read?
A．To argue for a new concept. B．To show his interest in the topic.
C．To introduce the topic of the text. D．To draw our attention to a social problem.
33．What is the purpose of the inter-generational programs?
A．To provide a good job opportunity for the young.
B．To bring the old and the young together.
C．To teach the young to respect the old.
D．To ask the old to care for the young.
34．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The reasons why inter-generational programs enjoy popularity in the world.
B．The inter-generational programs’ benefits to individuals.
C．The inter-generational programs all over the world.
D．The examples of inter-generational activities.
35．What may be the best title for the text?
A．Building bridges for the old and the young. B．A new concept in caring for the old is born.
C．Offering a warm home for the young. D．Being old is no more sad.
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。
When trying to make a successful career, which is better: being a generalist or a specialist? Inother words, should you generalize and know a little about a lot of things?36．.
Natasha Olinger, a human resource expert, talks about the benefits of both. She said Generally speaking, the common wisdom is that it's always better to specialize and then you can demand a higher salary.
To explain her idea, linger uses a fairly commons situation-choosing a restaurant 37．.
If you go to a restaurant that only serves sushi, you can expect high quality products, and you also should expect to pay more. If you go to a place that serves sushi, tacos and pizza, the quality of the sushi may not be so great, but the prices will probably be lower. 38．.However, she adds that all is not perfect in the world of the specialist. If there is a drop in economy, a generalist may get more job offers.
Olinger suggests thinking about the size and type of business you would like to work for.39．.
Also, companies that are just getting started often need people who are able to perform many different tasks. For example, your job description may be that of a graphic designer, but you may also have to do some writing, Larger companies can be just the opposite. They often need specialists-experts in a given field But perhaps the best solution is a mix of generalization and specialization. 40． . The top of the T would be the generalized part. The upright stem of the T would be the deeper understanding of a person's general knowledge-their expertise
A．Or should we combine these two with each other?
B．Some career planners call this a "t-shaped" career
C．Say you want to eat a favorite Japanese meal: sushi.
D Olinger says the world of work is not all that different
E. Small businesses often need people who can do many things
F. Olinger also warns that the world of work is more complex than this
G Or should you specialize and have a deep understanding of only one area

The polar bear is found in the Arctic Circle and some big land masses as far south as Newfoundland. While they are rare north of 88°, there is evidence 61． they range all the way across the Arctic, and as far south as James Bay in Canada.

I’ve been playing volleyball since three years before. It started when a teacher set up volleyball club in our school, hope that more students would join in the sport. The club was very popular that many students signed up for it. To be honestly, at that time I just followed them without thinking. We practiced together on every Saturday morning. However, some of the students soon began to get boring and dropped out of the club. So I found I was quite enjoying it and I carry on. After training for some time, I was selected for the school team. What excited and proud I was!
