Danny Meyer, CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group, is about to join their ranks and has announced that he plans to gradually stop tipping at the companys 13 restaurants.What, exactly, is wrong with tipping? As Brian Palmer has explained, more or less its everything. To start, leaving a waiters pay in the hands of customers has a feeling of classism (阶级歧视)And in theory, handing restaurant customers the power to tip is at least supposed to motivate better service. This fails in practice because humans turn out to be pretty arbitrary (随意的) about their tipping behavior. Research has shown that the amount diners tip has very little to do with their level of satisfaction. All of this doesnt encourage waiters and waitresses to do anything but turn over as many tables as possible.Tipping is also very unfair to kitchen staff. The law allows restaurants to divide tips between front-of-the-house workers like waiters, hosts, hostesses, and bartenders (调酒师), but not cooks. This creates a system in which the people serving the food in a restaurant can earn more than the people preparing itOne of the most fascinating parts of Meyers move is that, unlike some restaurant owners who have taken an anti-tipping stand, he wont simply add a standard extra charge to diners bills. Rather, Union Square Hospitality Group means to raise menu prices enough to fully cover the cost of a meal. If Meyer manages to move away from tipping at all without hurting his profits, it would almost certainly set the stage for others to follow suit.1、Whats Danny Meyers attitude towards stopping tipping?ANegative. BSupportive.CObjective. DDoubtful.2、What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?ATipping may disturb the restaurants management.BTipping will guarantee diners high quality service.CTipping can arouse the staffs enthusiasm for workDTipping will bring customers a sense of satisfaction.3、What can we know about Union Square Hospitality group?ABrian Palmer is in charge of it now.BIts cooks earn much more than its servers.CRestaurant tipping has been totally banned there.DDiners will be charged more for the dishes there.4、What is the topic of the passage?ARestaurants getting rid of tipping.BDifficulties that restaurants are faced with.CThe popularity of no-tipping restaurants.DTips on running restaurants successfully.22（8分）It took multiple weddings for Christine Law to realize what she needed to do. In the summer of 2014, her schedule was packed with friends, marriage celebrationsflowers - filled occasions that got her thinking, “Where do all the flowers go after the party?” More often than not, they were thrown out. Law, then 27, was confident she could find a better use for them.By August, she had a plan: convince couples and companies hosting events to donate their flowers, which she would pick up and deliver within 48 hours to seniors across the city. She wanted to bring beauty into the lives of the elderly. She drew on her experience volunteering with non-profits in order to set up her own organization, which she called Floranthropie. Not having enough bouquets (花束) for all 150 people of a health center, Law asked the staff to provide a list of patients who needed cheering up most, “The first woman I approached thought it was a mistake, and that the flowers couldnt possibly be for her,” says Law. “I said they were a gift, and we talked for a half hour.”In addition to health centers, Floranthropie focuses on community groups devoted to the elderly. Theleme is a volunteer for Les Petits Fieres, an organization that aims to help the elderly who dont have a support system. The group receives a dozen or so bouquets from Floranthropie monthly, and then redistributes them. “Our motto is flowers before bread,” says Theleme. “We dont focus on primary care, but rather on nourishing (滋养) the spirit. Floranthropie helps that. Its amazing what a big difference a small bouquet can make.”In the beginning, most of Floranthropies donations came through word of mouth. These days, Law receives messages from strangers via her organizations Facebook page and has connected with corporations and flower wholesalers. Law hopes to expand Floranthropie nationally, but at this point is happy to be able to oversee each delivery personally.1、What made Christine Law set up Floranthropie?AThe Waste of flowers. BThe loneliness of seniors.CThe persuasion of other friends. DThe warm atmosphere of weddings.2、What was the womans first reaction to Christine Laws flowers?AShe was moved. BShe was excited.CShe was worried. DShe was surprised.3、What can we infer about Floranthropie from Laetitia Thelemes words?AIt should focus on primary care.BIt is benefiting more than the elderly.CIt is doing something of great importance.DIt should cooperate with more non-profits.4、What is the best title for the text?AVolunteer Your Time BDont Throw Them OutCSpecial Delivery Makes Your Day DBrighten Seniors Lives With Flowers23（8分）1.

And if you believe in eating fries with your burger, you should worry more about carbon emissions.It wont happen overnight, but as the planets climate changes, the growth cycles of main crops will all be heavily affected .Here are three of the crops that might not beat the heat.The potato actually needs a great deal of beauty rest to develop properly. “They need a cool nighttime temperature in order to start growing the tuber, the part that we eat,” Nelson says.Temperature and altitude are two primary concerns in coffee growth, and farmers are stuck between a rock and a hard place. “We know that coffee grows in a certain temperature range,” Nelson says. “Theyve been moving up the mountains, but at some paint you run out of mountains to move up.” Higher-grade strains of Arabica coffee in Central American regions are at particular risk due to the need for lower growing temperature, especially since diseases and pests are also becoming more of a factor as temperatures rise.Even if youre looking at the direct effects of temperature alone, rice is in trouble. “As nighttime temperatures go up ,the rice is going to have a problem flowering and wont make as many seeds,” Nelson says. In addition to this direct heat consequence, rising sea levels will flood many rice fields and destroy water salinity levels, while droughts will lower production, raise prices, and further shame westerners who are too clumsy with chopsticks to be able to clear their plates once a new grain is adopted.1、What is the closest meaning to the underlined word “emissions” in Paragraph 1?AMixture. BPollution.CGoing down. DLetting off.2、What does the potatoes development need according to Nelson?AEnough water and salt. BCool temperature at night.CMuch sunshine and fresh air. DSudden rise of the temperature.3、The rice is difficult to flower, probably because_.Asea levels go up suddenly Bthe temperature rises at nightCmany seeds cant be produced Dboth temperature and altitude rise4、What is the best title for the text?AHow Does Global Warming Affect WesternersBHow Does The Cool Temperature Affect RideCWhat Is The Real Reason For Crops GrowthDThree Crops That Wont Survive Minor Climate Changes25（10分） This is the most exciting kayaking expedition（皮划艇探险）possible for beginner kayakers. You can expect to experience a whole range of different conditions and scenery. This expedition is a total of 8. 27 km in distance and it actually enters the streams in the North of Ubin and exits in the South.Three and a half kilometers of pure mangroves（红树林）, makes this the longest pure mangrove kayaking expedition in Singapore. The distance spent inside the mangrove gives you the maximum opportunity to witness wildlife within the mangrove ecosystem. Come experience the challenge of operating your kayak through the labyrinth（迷宫）of waterways and be amazed at the calm and quiet beauty of the wetlands. This last corner of natural wilderness in Singapore is so inaccessible, that very, very few have ever experienced itwhich makes this a truly special program.Most Recent Traveler ReviewsTraveler A: Traveled from bottom to top of Singapore in rush hour traffic in order to get to Ubin for a 9:30 startonly to find no guide there. Although, once he arrived, the guide was lovelyoffering a very knowledgeable tour and lots of enthusiasm around a beautiful part of the worldour 6-hour kayaking trip was actually over before 2:30 pm, despite only hitting the water at 12 noon.Traveler B: The guides were nice, however the biggest disappointment was the timing. We thought we were going for a 4-hour kayak but were back in 2 hours and that included the prekayak safety talk. The mangroves are lovely but we were told that a storm was near. We felt that there had never been any intention of going out for longer.1、What is special about the kayaking trip for
