When I was about ten years old, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee, and I knew I could see Mr. Lee any time around the neighborhood, so I didn’t pay any attention to him. After we passed Mr. Lee, my mother stopped me and said something that has stuck with me from that day until now. She said, “You let that be the last time you’ve ever walked by somebody and not opened up your mouth to speak, because even a dog will wag its tail when it passes you on the street.” Mother’s words sound simple, but it’s been a guidepost for me and the foundation of who I am.
It’s not just something I believe in; it’s become a way of life. I believe that every person deserves to feel someone acknowledge their presence, no matter how humble(卑微的) they may be.
At work, I always said hello to the founder of the company and asked him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people who cleaned the buildings and asked how their children were doing. After a few years of greeting the founder, I had the courage to ask him for a meeting. We had a great talk. At a certain point I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company. He said, “If you want to, you can get all the way to this seat.”
I’ve become vicepresident, but that hasn’t changed the way I approach people. I still follow my mother’s advice. I speak to everyone I see, no matter where I am. I’ve learned that speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it allows them to come into mine, too.
1.What did the author do when he met Mr. Lee?
A.He talked with somebody else.
B.He was attracted by a dog.
C.He greeted him politely.
D.He ignored him.
2.What kind of person is the author’s mother?
A.Optimistic.
B.Kind-hearted.
C.Strict.
D.Open-minded.
3.How did the company founder reply to the author?
A.He played a joke.
B.He inspired him.
C.He invited him to coffee.
D.He gave him the
seat.
4.What does the author think of saying hello to people?
A.It can build connections with others.
B.It’s a way to show sympathy to humble people.
C.It’s a must to become a president.
D.It can bring him what he wants.
(C)
.People generally tend to pick out the best-looking fruits and vegetables when shopping for produce(农产品), but Canadian supermarket chain Loblaws is attracting customers with badly-shaped and faulty produce at the price of 30% lower than normal-looking one.
A trial run of the ugly food line, named "Naturally Imperfect", began with only apples and potatoes to choose from. Consumer demand has been so huge that Loblaws is going to introduce more ugly vegetables and fruits like onions and mushrooms.
All the produce that will be sold through Naturally Imperfect would otherwise have been used in juices, sauces, or soups, or have not been harvested at all. The director Dan Branson explained that this program benefited both food producers who would otherwise have to let abnormal produce go to waste,and consumers who could buy fresh produce at low prices. And he was right, given how popular the line has become.
"It really went well beyond our expectation," Branson said. "I think it really spoke to the fact that Canadians are out there really looking for some choices."
Of course, Canadians know that beauty is more than skin deep, and they also recognize that they can get the same flavor and nutritional benefits in spite of appearances. The positive response(响应) to the initial offering of apples and potatoes showed the opportunity to expand the line and offer more choices at a greater price to Canadian families.
"If you grow produce in your backyard, there will be a lot of produce that won't look as pretty as what you will see in a grocery store,” said Branson. "And nature doesn’t grow everything perfectly. I’d like to think if somebody were to take a No Name Naturally Imperfect apple, put it right beside a No. 1 apple, close his eyes and eat them, there would be no difference."
1.Loblaws is different from other supermarkets in that _________.
A.more fruits are offered at lower prices
B.normal-looking produce is not allowed there
C.imperfect produce is sold at lower prices there
D.only apples and potatoes are sold every
day
2.According to Paragraph 3, Loblaws's program __________.
A.prevents people from wasting their food
B.happens to be a win-win mode
C.teaches food producers how to grow food
D.enables consumers to eat more fresh produce
3.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A.Canadians are used to eating perfect produce.
B.Smart consumers know the importance of ugly produce.
C.Loblaws intends to improve customers' quality of life.
D.Customers’ support promotes the development of the ugly food line.
4.What do Branson’s words in the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A.We should eat imperfect apples with our eyes closed.
B.The world is usually full of imperfect things.
C.Imperfect fruits are as tasty as perfect ones.
D.The fruits grown by ourselves are more nutritious than those in the store.
(D)
.Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.
While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.
According to the report’s key findings, "the proportion (比例) who say they 4 hardly ever" read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.
The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2-8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.
When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel (建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.
The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.
As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom (逼近) ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.
1.What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?
A.Children's reading habits.
B.Quality of children's books.
C.Children's after-class activities.
D.Parent-child relationships.
2.Where can you find the data that best supports "children are reading a lot less for fun"?
A.In Paragraph 2. B.In Paragraph 3.
C.In Paragraph 4. D.In Paragraph 5.
3.Why do many parents limit electronic reading?
A.E-books are of poor quality. B.It could be a waste of time.
C.It may harm children's health. D.E-readers are expensive.
4.How should parents encourage their children to read more?
A.Act as role models for them. B.Ask them to write book reports.
C.Set up reading groups for them. D.Talk with their reading class teachers.

(A)
1.A; 2.C; 3.D
解析: 1.细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“They are surrounded by ...in the distance.”可知,这里风景秀丽。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段的“CounterPoint is a ‘Camping Optional’ Festival. You can take a tent, bring an RV”可知,在那里晚上可以在外面过夜。
3.细节理解题。根据第四段的“The application to be a food court exhibitor at the 2015 CounterPoint Music and Arts Festival ... with questions.”可知应选D项。
(B)
.答案:1.D; 2.C; 3.B; 4.A

.答案:1.as2.effects3. to process4.are removed5.a6.worse7. is8.eating9.careful10.which
解析:
1. 考查介词。分析句子结构可知,此处在句中作状语,表示"作为一种抵御心脏病的方式",所以填as,意为"作为"。
2. 考查名词复数。这种趋势产生了意想不到的副作用。根据空前的some及空后的"such as overweight and heart disease"可知,此处指不止一种副作用,故用名词复数形式effects。
3. 考查非谓语动词。be required to do sth.为固定用法。
4. 考查时态和语态。本文的主体时态为一般现在时,此处亦应用一般现在时;又fat and salt是动词remove的承受者,应用被动语态。所以此处填are removed。
5. 考查冠词。as a result为固定搭配,意为"结果"。
6. 考查比较级短语。Even意为"更糟糕的是",表示意义的递进。故用worse。
7. 考查时态和主谓一致。此处是对客观情况的描述,应用一般现在时;分析句子结构可知,该句缺少谓语动词,主语为Fast food, 故填is。
8. 考查非谓语动词。介词by后跟名词、代词或动词-ing形式作宾语,故填eating。
9. 考查形容词。此处为形容词作表语,故填careful"当心的",构成系表结构。
10. 考查关系代词。分析句子结构可知,此处为非限制性定语从句,空处指代前句的内容,且在从句中作主语,故填关系代词which。
四、短文改错

解析:高中即将毕业了,有一些体会和同学们分享。1.感谢老师,家长和朋友们;2.致歉于我曾经误会伤害的人;3.祝福同学们心想事成。
1. think→thought句意:我认为在在那儿很快乐。时态用法错误。这里用一般过去时,表示“过去认为”。
2. countryside前加the 句意:但是我想念农村的家乡。这里countryside是特指,故用定冠词the。
3. or→and句意:那里山绿并且空气新鲜。连词用法错误。前后句为并列关系,故用连词and。
4. on→with句意:随着工业化的发展。短语搭配错误。短语with the development of随着……的发展。
5. been去掉句意:许多研究表明。主语与动词为主动关系,这里不需要用被动语态。
6. seriously→serious句意:全球变暖已经成为严重的问题。词性用法错误。修饰名词,前面用形容词修饰。
7. airs→air 句意:我们呼吸的空气变得越来越脏。名词用法错误。名词air为不可数名词。
8. much→many句意:许多罕见的动物已经消失。名词animal为可数名词,故用many修饰。
9. found→find句意:我们必须找到方法来保护我们的地球。动词用法错误。情态动词must后接动词原形。
10. your→our句意:我们必须找到方法来保护我们的地球。代词用法错误。这里应当是保护我们的环境。
