When a new family moved in next door, my children started to play with their children and I got to meet the mother of the family, Lydia. Lydia is Korean, and her family moved to our city so her husband could go to graduate school. We started talking, and she was apologetic about how bad her English was. I had the same feeling about my Korean. Actually, her English was so much better than my Korean. I enjoyed chatting with Lydia as we watched our kids play. It was what came next that challenged me very badly. Lydia asked if Id be willing to help her with her English. Im not a teacher but I admire teachers. Its because I admire what they do so much that I was very sure that I couldnt do it myself. But Lydia was sure that she wanted my help. I wasnt sure my “help” was even worth being called by that name. But because she asked me, I said “yes”. And that was the beginning of a friendship. Lydia and I spent afternoons sitting together and reading the newspaper, and as we did, she asked me questions about language, and also about the new culture she found herself in. In turn, I asked my own questions, growing curious about her home country and culture. We bonded over our shared faith and our struggles as mothers of kids with special needs. Because of Lydia, I learned more about my own hometown than I ever could have learned by myself. Im still not sure whether Im any good as a teacher. But Im grateful I said “yes” . That meant spending extra time with my neighbor, and that extra time meant she didnt remain just my neighbor. She became my friend.24. Why did Lydia move to California? A. She went to help her kids learn English. B. She accompanied her husband to study. C. She looked for a job. D. She worked as a tutor.25. What did the author think of her Korean? A. It was good. B. It was perfect. C. It was awful. D. It was extraordinary.26. What challenged the author most after they met? A. The relationships among children. B. The differences of cross cultures. C. The misunderstanding caused by language barrier. D. Lydias request on helping her with English learning.27. What may be the best title for the text? A. Cross-cultural Friendship B. Realization of a Teaching Dream C. Importance of Mastering English D. Secret of Language LearningC Office workers could lose almost half a stone （about 7 pounds）a year simply by standing up at their desks, new research suggests. The study, which examined data from 1,184 people taking part in 46 previous studies, found the average difference in energy consumption between sitting and standing was 0.15 calories a minute. It means those who spent six hours of the day standing rather than sitting could expect to lose almost six pounds in a yearamounting to more than a stone and a half in four yearsif they did not change their diet. The research, which is published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, found that standing burned almost twice as many calories in men compared with women, due to their higher muscle mass. Senior author Dr Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, chairman of preventive cardiology at Mayo Clinic, in Minnesota, said, “Standing for long periods of time for many adults may seem unmanageable, especially those who have desk jobs, but, for the person who sits for 12 hours a day, cutting sitting time to half would bring great benefits.” Prof Lopez-Jimenez added, “Standing not only bums more calories, the additional muscle activity is linked to lower rates of heart attacks, strokes, and diabetes, so the benefits of standing could go beyond weight control. Our results might be an underestimate（低估）because when people stand they tend to make movements naturally without being forced, like shifting weight or swaying from one foot to another, taking small steps forward and back. Its important to avoid sitting for hours at a time.”When people are standing, more muscles are tensed and stretched to fight gravity and bear weight. Researchers stressed that the weight loss from extra time standing would only be achieved if the extra calories burned were not counteracted by an increase in food intake.28. What does the new research find according to the text? A. Sitting is a most deadly habit. B. Sitting is as important as standing. C. Standing can help lose weight. D. Standing is the best choice to exercise.29. Why can men burn more calories than women by standing according to the research? A. Men are more likely to have sports. B. Men have higher muscle mass. C. Women are less strong-minded. D. Women like to stay where theyre.30. What can be inferred from paragraph 4 about standing? A. It contributes to overall health. B. It can cure heart attacks. C. It may have negative effects. D. It may lower the heart rate.31. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “counteracted” in the last paragraph?A. canceled B. predicted C. picked up D. compensated forDOne of the questions surrounding climate change is how it might affect the food supply for a growing global population. A new study suggests that researchers have been overlooking how two key human responses to climatehow much land people choose to farm, and the number of crops they plantwill affect food production in the future. The new study focused on the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso, an emerging（新兴的）global breadbasket（产粮地区）that as of 2013 supplied 10 percent of the worlds soybeans. The researchers used variations in temperature and precipitation（降水）across the state over an eight-year period to estimate the sensitivity of the regions agricultural production to climate change. Those historical comparisons can help in making predictions about the sensitivity of agriculture to future climate change. The study found that, if the patterns from 2002 to 2008 hold in the future, an increase in average temperature in Mato Grosso of just 1 degree will lead to a 9 to 13 percent reduction in overall production of soy and corn. “This is worrisome given that the temperature in the study region is predicted to rise by 2 degrees by 2050,” said Avery Cohn, who led the study. Most studies of this kind look only at the extent to which climate shocks affect crop output. But researchers can miss critical dynamics（动力）that can affect overall output, says Leah VanWey, one of the studys senior authors. “If you look at output alone, youre not looking at all of the information because there are economic and social changes going on as well,” said VanWey. If output decreases, farmers may put less land area into production because its not profitable. Farmers may also vary the number of crops they plant in a growing season. Double cropping is common in Mato Grosso. But if the weather is bad, farmers may change their decision to plant a second crop.32. The value of the new study lies in _. A. increasing the number of crops people plant B. focusing on an emerging global breadbasket C. making predictions about human responses to climate change D. controlling peoples choice of their farming area and crop numbers33. According to Avery Cohn, by 2050, the overall production of soy and corn will _. A. remain almost unchanged B. decrease by less than 9% C. increase by from 9% to 13% D. decrease by more than 13%34. What can we know about the similar studies mentioned in paragraph 3 ? A. They cant provide exact information to farmers. B. They dont take into consideration some key factors. C. Their discouraging results largely affect overall crop output. D. They pay too much attention to economic and social changes.35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Farmers possible reactions to climate shocks. B. Possible climate change in Mato Grosso. C. The benefits of double cropping in Mato Grosso. D. Farmers decision on planting crops in the future.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you stayed up or had a bad night of sleep last night, you know its difficult to stay awake in class today.
