However, walking people didn’t require much when they were out on walks. Chuck realized there was money to be made if he walked people around Los Angeles instead.‎ It might sound like a joke, but The People Walker, as he calls himself, is very serious about his new job. For $7 per mile, he offers to walk with clients around L.A.‎, listening to their problems or simply making conversations and offering them a sense of security. At 6-feet, 2-inches, and sporting a bulky figure and bushy beard, Chuck doesn’t look like the kind of guy you’d want to mess with.‎ Chuck’s services are aimed at people who need a motivational boost to go walking, those who don’t feel safe walking alone in some areas, and those who are afraid that people might see them walking by themselves and think that they have no friends. “I wear my The People Walker shirt upon request and on the first walk with a new client, so they can be 100% sure it’s me,” McCarthy says. However, he admits some people are a bit uncomfortable with this policy, as they don’t necessarily want everyone to know that they’re being walked.‎ So far, Chuck McCarthy has already had another five people walkers employed, covering various areas, like downtown L.A.‎, Hollywood, Eagle Rock, or Fairfax. Once he posted signs around the city, his phone started ringing and clients began rolling in. And with all the free publicity he has been getting in the press lately, more requests are coming.‎ While he hopes that his acting career will pick up soon, in the meantime Chuck is very happy with his people walking business. After all, it’s literally a walk in the park and it pays the bills.‎ ‎24. What does the underlined word “supplement” in Paragraph 1 mean?‎ A. Save. B. Increase. C. Change. D. Invest.‎ ‎25. Which service of The People Walker isn’t mentioned in the text?‎ A. Cheering up the clients. B. Accompanying the clients.‎ C. Buying the clients food. D. Offering a sense of security.‎ ‎26. Why do people prefer Chuck to walk without wearing the shirt?‎ A. To keep the walk comfortable. B. To avoid being recognized.‎ C. To attract more new friends. D. To keep themselves alone.‎ ‎27. What do we know about Chuck McCarthy from the text?‎ A. He has lost confidence in his acting career.‎ B. He hopes to find excitement in people walking.‎ C. He has inspired other people to be more creative.‎ D. He earns more as a people walker than as an actor.‎ C For centuries, elephants have played a big role in the world’s economies, culture and religion. The African elephant used to be found all over Africa and the Asian elephant moved ‎ from Syria to China to Indonesia. Nowadays, elephants are found in small groups in the south of the Sahara Desert and scarcely in Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka and India.‎ In the early twentieth century, there were close to ten million elephants, and now the elephant number is as low as 252,000 and expected to drop down to 160,000 by 2025. Between 2007 and 2014, the elephant population fell by at least 30%, or 144,000 elephants. As researchers have traveled over the African plains, they only spotted one herd of 36 elephants in an area like the size of Mexico. It is clear that these gentle mammals are disappearing right before our eyes.‎ There are many reasons why the elephant population has been decreasing, one of which is their habitat. Humans are competing with elephants for living space, and as more and more humans clear the land that is being used by elephants, the elephants have less space. Elephant hunting or “poaching” has been a major factor for the disappearance of this species, and they are killed only for their valuable ivory tusks. Although the trade of tusks is illegal, it is still a common practice in many places.‎ Often, all the local people living among elephants would be farmers, and found that they could make more money by selling the tusks of one elephant, than doing manual labor for twelve years. That alone makes it really hard to prevent them from killing the elephants.‎ Some places such as Botswana, have put in extra effort to protect their wildlife from poachers by founding their Botswana Defense Force, which is made up of around 700 specially-trained soldiers that are stationed in 40 different areas. You may feel worried about the present situations elephants are in, but there are ways to help. To find out how you can help elephant conservation, adopt an elephant, or donate, click here.‎ ‎28. The numbers listed in Paragraph 2 show that .‎ A. humans don’t care for elephants B. elephants have been next to extinction C. elephants have become gentler than before D. elephants have gained more attention ‎29. What is the biggest factor for the disappearing elephants?‎ A. Less space. B. A lack of food.‎ C. Suffering from a disease. D. Elephant hunting.‎ ‎30. Why is it hard to ban killing the elephants among the farmers?‎ A. Their tusks are profitable.‎ B. Elephants are destroying their fields cruelly.‎ C. Farmers hope to make a living by selling their meat.‎ D. Farmers practice their hunting skills by killing elephants.‎ ‎31. What is the purpose of this text?‎ A. To persuade readers to make a donation.‎ B. To guide readers how to protect elephants.‎ C. To encourage readers to help protect elephants.‎ D. To introduce the decreasing number of elephants.‎ D There is always something that happens in the world that everyone fears will happen to their town, city or country: natural disasters. The scariest part of it is that no one will ever see it coming. Though technology helps us prepare, but it never actually tells the people when it’s going to hit. It is always estimated but the result is never 100% accurate.‎ However, that is not the point of this article. Two different natural disasters in two different parts of the world have happened in the past few weeks. One was a major flood that has hit Louisiana in the United States. The other was an earthquake that hit Amatrice‎, ‎Italy. However, there is a major difference in the news coverage of the two tragedies.‎ As for the flooding in Louisiana, it is reported that this disaster is the worst to hit the United States since Super-storm Sandy and it’ll cost at least $30 million. In only the first couple of weeks, 13 people had died. However, like me, many people did not hear about this tragic event. I did not learn about it until about three weeks after it happened.‎ In Italy, however, it covered all media instantly. The earthquake in Italy happened on Tuesday morning. That same day, I was on Twitter and that was all that was over the news feed. Every other post was about the earthquake. Some would have the opinion that Amatrice, Italy was one of the most beautiful towns in that country. I got in deep sorrow because there were more people killed in this quake than the flooding. So far, they have a total of 73 dead and over one hundred missing.‎ I understand that technically the earthquake in Italy was worse than the floods in ‎Louisiana ‎. However, I believe that if a natural disaster happens, they all should be equally covered and taken equally seriously. We are one world united and should be there for all of the people who are in need of help. We may not be able to accurately predict disasters but, we can surely lend a hand out for the needy.‎ ‎32. What really concerns the author about the two natural disasters?‎ A. The death and the injured.‎ B. The media report.‎ C. The government’s responsibility.‎ D. Their economic loss.‎ ‎33. Why did the author learn about the flood so late?‎ A. He didn’t care about the flood. B. He felt nervous about the news.‎ C. The media didn’t cover it in time. D. The flood frightened the author a lot.‎ ‎34. What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A. Italy isn’t good at predicting the natural disasters.‎ B. All natural disasters should be covered equally.‎ C. The world should be united into one instantly.‎ D. America should help Italy predict natural disasters.‎ ‎35. How is the text mainly developed?‎ A. By making a comparison. B. By following the time order.‎ C. By listing some examples. D. By analyzing the causes.‎ 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 it comes to the Internet, passwords which people often use are under fire. 36 Research has shown that passwords are not a very good way to protect sensitive information.‎ People would use some random characters, numbers and symbols. Furthermore, a unique password would be used for every site or application the user uses. Unfortunately, the more complex they become, the more people are likely to forget their passwords. The longer the passwords are, the more easily forgotten they are. 37 ‎ Google is trying to kill off the password on Android devices by introducing the Trust API, which does what simple passwords cannot. It gives developers a framework for securing their applications using a number of security systems and metrics (指标) on the device. A Trust Score will be generated based on the metrics the device gathers. 38 ‎ The Trust Score will be generated based on both metrics like your device location, face scanning, fingerprint and so on. Taken one at a time, these metrics are not secure. But taken together, these metrics will help define the real “you”.‎ ‎ 39 This summer, Google will be running tests with some banks to see if Trust API meets their needs before rolling out to all developers later this year. It may take another year for apps and popular sites to start using the Trust API.‎ This is a pretty exciting change. Passwords have been around for long and although the security of systems has been improved, the convenience of systems hasn’t been improved much. 40 Maybe that never-ending conflict between security and convenience will be able to take a break once the Trust system comes out.‎ A. Google appears to have the best of them.‎ B. Actually it’s been under fire for a long time.‎ C. People tend to care more about its advantages.‎ D. Google has already been testing this on the real world.‎ E. Google has proved that the system is more convenient.‎ F. Therefore, they use the same password for each application.‎ G. It’ll allow or refuse your application based on your trust score.‎ 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 You’ve probably been asked what you would do if you found a leather wallet full of cash.

Some suggest resisting Western holidays due to their strong influence. Some argue that we are supposed to hold some creative activities to celebrate traditional cultures so that we can have fun during Chinese festivals. Still others consider various competitions should be held at times, which provides more chances for the citizens to recite Chinese poems and practice calligraphy.‎ In my view, it is high time that we spared no effort to protect the traditional Chinese cultures. Otherwise we will regret one day.‎
