The light changed and they drove on, but Hannah was too young to be reasonable. She pestered (纠缠)her parents about inequity, insisting that she wanted to do something.“What do you want to do?” her mom responded. “Sell our house?”Warning! Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager. Hannah seized upon the idea of selling the luxurious family home and donating half the money to charity, while using the other half to buy a smaller replacement home.Eventually, that’s what the family did. The project —crazy, impetuous(鲁莽的) and utterly inspiring —is written down in detail in a book by father and daughter scheduled to be published next month: The Power of Half. It’s a book that, frankly, I’d be nervous about leaving around where my own teenage kids might find it. An impressionable child reads this, and the next thing you know your whole family is out on the street.At a time of great needs in Haiti and elsewhere, when so many Americans are trying to help Haitians by sending everything from text messages to shoes, the Salwens offer an example of a family that came together to make a difference — for themselves as much as the people they were trying to help. In a newspaper a week ago, it described neurological(神经学的) evidence from brain scans(扫描) that unselfishness lights up parts of the brain normally associated with more primary satisfaction. The Salwens’ experience confirms the selfish pleasures ofselflessness.Mr. Salwen and his wife, Joan, had always supposed that their kids would be better off in a bigger house. But after they downsized, there was much less space, so the family members spent more time around each other. A smaller house unexpectedly turned out to be a more family-friendly house.41．What does the underlined word “inequity” most probably mean in Paragraph 3? _______A．Unfairness.B．Satisfaction.C．Personal attitude.D．Reasonable statement.42．What is suggested in the underlined sentence “Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager. ” in Paragraph 5? _______A．Never advise an idealistic child to make a grand gesture.B．Unless a child is realistic, never give any promise.C．Give an immediate answer if the child is reasonable.D．Don’t respond to a child's demands without consideration.43．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? _______A．The Salwens donated a lot to charity though they weren’t rich.B．Unselfishness comes from people’s primary satisfaction.C．Hannah’s parents sold their house at Hannah’s request.D．The writer’s children asked him to sell their house.44．What can we learn from the last paragraph? _______A．The Salwens regretted selling their house.B．The family members got much closer.C．People living in small houses are happy.D．The Salwens intend to buy another big house.45．The best title for the passage should be “_______”.A．The Less, the BetterB．An Expected SatisfactionC．Something We Can Live WithoutD．Somewhat Crazy but InspiringCIf your preschoolers turn up their noses at carrots or celery, a small reward like a sticker(贴画) for taking even a taste may help get them to eat previously disliked foods, a UK study said.Though it might seem obvious that a reward could encourage young children to eat their vegetables, the idea is actually controversial, re searchers wrote in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. That’s because some studies have shown that rewards can backfire and cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked, said JaneWardle, a researcher at University College London who worked on the study. Verbal praise, such as “Brilliant! You’re a great vegetable taster”, did not work as well.“We would recommend that parents consider using small non-food rewards, given daily for tasting tiny pieces of the food—smaller than half a lit tle finger nail, ” Wardle said in an email.The study found that when parents gave their small children a sticker each time they took a “tiny taste” of a disliked vegetable, it gradually changed their attitudes. The children were also willing to eat more of the vegetables—either carrots, celery, cucumber, red pepper, cabbage or sugar snap peas—in laboratory taste tests, the study said.Researchers randomly assigned 173 families to one of these groups. In one, parents used stickers to reward their children each time they took a tiny sample of a disliked vegetable. A second group of parents used verbal praise. The third group, where Parents used no special vegetable-promoting methods, served as a “control”(控制组,对照组).Parents in the reward groups offered their c hildren a taste of the “target” vegetable every day for 12days. Soon after, children in the sticker group were giving higher ratings to the vegetables—and were willing to eat more in the research lab, going from an average of 5 grams at the start to about 10 grams after the 12-day experience. The turnaround also seemed to last, with preschoolers in the sticker group still willing to eat more of the once-disliked vegetable three months later.Why didn’t the verbal praise work? Wardle said the parents’ words may have seemed “insincere” to their children.46．The purpose of writing the passage is _______.A．to show the procedure of an experiment on children’s dietB．to introduce a practical method of making children eat vegetablesC．to explain why children hate to eat vegetablesD．to present a proper way of verbal praise to parents47．The underlined word “backfire” in Paragraph 2probably means “_______”.A．shoot from behind the backB．make a fire in the backyardC．produce an unexpected resultD．achieve what was planned48．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? _______A．Most children are born to dislike carrots or celery.B．Rewarding isn’t always a good way to get children to eat vegetables.C．Oral praise works quite well in encouraging children to eat vegetables.D．Children in the sticker group will never lose interest in eating vegetables.49．How did the researchers get their conclusion from the experiment? _______A．By comparison.B．By asking questions.C．By giving examples.D．By discussion.50．What can we learn from the last paragraph? _______A．Children like rewards, not verbal praise.B．Parents should give up verbal praise.C．Children are very difficult to inspire.D．Parents’ tone is important to their kids.DGoing shopping seems easy, but actually it takes a lot of learning, especially in America. In fact, many Americans who are not so well-off often shop at “sales” or at special stores that sell things at low prices, which you may find interesting. In America, the important rule of dressing is that one should change his or her clothes every day. For example, in an American college, neither professors nor students are seen in the same clothes two days in a row. So you may find it necessary to buy more clothes than you have in China. While you are shopping in the States, you will discover that prices range considerably from time to time. The purchase of used, second-hand clothing, furniture, or other household articles may be an excellent way of saving money. Most second-hand clothes are of pretty good quality. If you are going to settle down in the States and want some furniture, you may go to a “loan closet”, where furniture rents at low cost, or you may also go to a “furniture exchange” place in the community.Sheets, blankets, and other bedclothes go on sale in most communities twice a year. Advertisements for “white sales” on bed linen, towels, etc., often appear in January, as well as in May, June or July. Once or twice every season, there will be “garage sales”, where you can get almost anything, from a yacht to a pair of shoes, at low prices. Prices at “discount stores” and “thrift shops” are also as low as you can imagine.When shopping for food, you should look for special prices for various items that are put on sale weekly. To economize, it would be a good idea for you to plan the weekly menu according to what is on sale, including in it the meats, vegetables, fruits, etc. that can be bought at special prices that week.Exchange and return policies vary from store to store. You should also keep in mind that exchange and return policies for sales items can be different from standard store policies, especially if the price of the items has been reduced. Ask the merchant about their exchange and return policies before making your purchase. Obtaining an exchange or a return without a store receipt is often difficult. So, to save yourself the headache, you’d better hold on to any paper or other proof of purchase.51．People shopping in America will discover _______A．American goods are excellentB．most clothes come from ChinaC．prices vary much sometimesD．used clothes are of poor quality52．A person who needs furniture can _______A．exchange their goods for furnitureB．settle in a place that has furnitureC．get some free of chargeD．rent some at low cost53．At a “white sale”, one can buy _______A．almost anythingB．meats, vegetables, fruitsC．bed linen, towelsD．shoes at low prices54．Garage sales are held _______A．once or twice every three monthsB．once or twice every yearC．from time to timeD．in January, May, June or July55．What does “any paper or other proof” in the last paragraph refer to? _______A．The exchange and return policy.B．A store receipt.C．A sales item.D．The standard store policy.第Ⅱ卷第三部分写作第一节:阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题.Most 20-year-olds are still trying to figure out what they want to do in life. Boyan Slat is not like that. Ever since he was 16-years old, the Dutch teenager has had one mission— to clean up the trillions of pieces of plastic that are polluting our oceans and killing precious marine life. What's amazing is that this young man who started with what sounded like an outlandish dream may actually be able to pull off this gargantuan task!Slat's first exposure to ocean garbage came during a diving vacation in Greece. The teenager was stunned to see that there was more plastic on the beaches than fishes in the sea. Upon completing high school, he started to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming an Aerospace Engineer. However, he could never erase the images of the plastic debris from his mind.So in 2013, Slat dropped out of college and established The Ocean Cleanup Foundation. Its mission was to create an environmentally friendly large-scale and efficient way to remove the plastic pollution from aquatic ecosystems(水生生态系统), while increasing awareness by simultaneously communicating this processintensively.Within a year, the determined youngster and his team of 100 volunteer scientists and engineers from all around the world managed to come up with a 530-page feasibility study that laid out the technology and the financial needs for such a concept to be practical.Called the “Ocean Cleanup Project,” it did not entail chasing after every piece of floating plastic. Instead, the plan focused on the five "garbage" patches that have been accumulated by rotating ocean currents or gyres(涡流) in specific areas. According to experts, the five harbor about 5.25 trillion of the 8 trillion pieces of plastic estimated to be floating around the world's oceans today.Slat's team hypothesized that if we create a stationary(固定的) collection area around each one, the plastic could be picked up in an economical and efficient manner. The plan was convincing enough to raise the team close to $2．2million USD in a crowd funding campaign.56．What has Boyan Slat dreamed of doing since he was 16?
