Thread，a young company，is working in a creative way by hiring people there to collect that plastic waste，which，after being properly treated，is made into fabrics for use in sportswear，boots and many other goods Ian Rosenberger，the founder of Thread，used to travel much in Central America，and the CaribbeanSoon after the horrific 2010 earthquake in Haiti，Rosenberger volunteered to help with the disaster relief and was shocked by the piles of plastic trash throughout Haiti，most of which is in the form of plastic bottles Haitians threw away everywhereIt was then that he realized he had to figure out a way to remove the poverty he witnessed After returning to the US，Rosenberger soon found a solution to all that plastic trash in Haiti-turning the waste bottles into fabrics，which can create jobs, help the poor Haitians，and solve the terrible waste problem there-and turned his idea into reality. People collect plastic bottles from their neighborhood，bring them to a plastic- collection center and receive cash right then，helping them to buy food for their families and meet other expenses Once collected，the plastic bottles are made into fabrics in Thread, which requires about 80 percent less energy and about 90 percent less water to produce than the fabrics made directly from oil “Were a social company Our products are environmentally responsible” Rosenberger says，“Jobs will end povertyThe vaccine(疫苗)against poverty is a good and respectable jobWe are hoping to end the problems we face and bring positive change to the peoples lifestyle there”25The second paragraph of the passage is intended to tell the readers .Awhy Rosenberger decided to establish ThreadBwhat problems the Haitians were facing after the earthquakeChow Rosenberger helped with the disaster relief after the earthquakeDhow the Haitians formed a bad habit of throwing trash everywhere26By collecting plastic bottles，the Haitians can .Ahelp Thread make a lot of moneyBbecome an employee of Thread companyCearn some money to support their familiesDdo some voluntary work for Rosenberger27The fabrics from Thread have an obvious advantage in .Astyle BstrengthCprice Denergy-consumption28According to Rosenbergers words，we can learn that .AThread is an environmentally responsible companyBproducts from Thread will end the poverty in HaitiCpeople want to set up a company of their ownDa good and respectable job must be eco-friendlyCSome people say summer is the time when teachers should get more payBut not everyone is grateful to teachers for keeping kids occupied between June and AugustWashington state representative Liz Pike has written a Face book post and responded to teachers complaints of rising cost of livingAfter reading her post，I feel that Liz Pike should rethink her criticism of public school teachingMany of us teachers would certainly like teaching to be more like the private schoolIts nothing wrong with fair pay for fair performanceLiz Pike is very angry that teachers want raises even while test scores are droppingWell，how are they supposed to have discipline in the classroom when our hands are tied and we can hardly do anything with naughty students?Teachers would love to be able to turn education around and improve student performanceBut we cant，and we should not suffer for itUnlike private school businessespublic schools cannot turn away “customers”A private school business serves customers who walk through the door of their own free will，while public schools have to educate students who only attend school because laws say they mustShe says those teachers who are uninspired by a lack of a cost of living increases should give up teachingIs this the message that she thinks should be sent to the students? Does she mean “If you love teaching，youll shut up and not stand up for yourself”?

Because touching tends to lead to purchasing for most peopleWhen people touch things theyre more likely to buy themYou might not even notice it，but what you smell when youre shopping can impact the choices you make to a strange degreeWhen we smell something like baby powder，we feel all warm toward babies，we just happen to be in the baby department，and we spend a little more moneyOdors and scents have a strong tie to memory，thus indirectly affecting our view of a products quality as a wholeThe sounds you hear in a store also help it produce a better and overall imageA lot of retailers pipe in music specific to a storeThough different forms of music are adopted，they are creating a feeling of getting you to feel but not think things32What does the passage mainly tell the readers?AShops often encourage customers to touch their goodsBCustomers have to learn many skills of making a good choiceCRetail stores adopt different ways to encourage people to buy moreDRetailers always do whatever they can to cheat customers33The underlined word “blinder” in Paragraph 3 refers to .Aa person who is blindBsomething covering your eyesCan object that shinesDsomething too bright for people to see34How does the passage develop?35Whats the main purpose of the passage?ATo inform BTo instructCTo argue DTo compare第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分l0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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。A little worry is healthyIt keeps us thinking ahead and helps us prepare to face unexpected misfortuneWhen you worry too much，you burden yourself with a lot of unnecessary stressHowever，the few tips can help get your worries under control and enjoy the happiness of lifeReduce your collectionAlthough things are getting smaller than ever，we all seem to end up being surrounded by stuff we no longer use or care about36 However，youll be glad once the task is finishedHave a garage sale，or simply donate your extra dishes，clothes，books and other items37 By creating a pleasant space for specific activities，you convince your brain to engage in those activities whenever you enter that spaceRemove TVs，computers，and other such distractions from the bedroomOnly spend time there when youre changing clothes，grabbing a book，going to sleepKeep computers，TVs and other such activity items for time-consuming activities in general areas 38 Budget your family expensesIt is one of the simplest and most effective steps you can take to reduce worry caused by your complex life39 More importantly，it helps keep your family from unpredicted financial troubleMake the best of your empty momentsIts easy to fill every waking moment of your free time with Smartphone apps，social media browsing，TV and more 40Sometimes what you need isnt a distraction，its a moment to yourselfARemind yourself to be grateful for what you have every dayBIt can seem like a pain to take the time and trouble to get rid of itCReassign your space wiselyDTry to stick to it，and you can make both ends meetEFocus your attention on your workFIt isnt always a good ideaGTrain your brain to associate these areas with leisure activities and hobbies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；每题15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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。In 1973，when I was l6，my family moved into a new house my dad built in Minnesota and th
