After having her second child in 2012, Victoria was jobless and lost her clear direction.She found herself suffering depression.“My sister, Karen, suggested I try selling something to do with weddings on eBay，” she said, “when the children were asleep, I learned to design invitations on my laptop.Because I already had a laptop and a printer, the only startup costs were buying some cards and envelopes.”
Victoria listed what she made for sale on eBay, but weeks and months passed and she hardly had any sales.Concerned, Karen suggested she should change the designs but Victoria firmly believed that her design was good.
But in January 2013, everything changed dramatically.“I remember getting out of the bath one night and I'd made nearly ￡200 in orders in the time it had taken to have a bath.Now the demand was so huge that I had to buy a bulk­load of cards and envelopes and purchase another printer.I started to work at 7 p．m. each night and worked into the early hours.” Victoria believes that her affordable wedding invitations are the key.
Having something else to focus on, the fog of depression soon lifted.By the end of January she had made an impressive ￡8,000 in just one month.The business now turns over an incredible ￡80,000 a year, half of which is profit.She continued: “The money has allowed us to upgrade to a three­bedroom house and we have had some great family holidays.” In October, Victoria was one of eleven eBay sellers recognized at the eBay for Business Awards.
“I want to show to other women with little or no experience that even if you're struggling as I did, you can be a mother and a businesswoman and do both successfully，” smiles Victoria.“I'm a one­woman band but it's more than enough for me！”

Art and culture is lived and breathed in every corner of Canada.Due to a racial and immigrant (移民的) population, the variety and richness of art and sports is very evident.
Since World War Ⅱ， Canada has produced an impressive amount of writing.From novels to poetry, the selection is wide.Native writers are also becoming better known across Canada in recent years.
Musicians are reaching a higher level of recognition in the world music scene.Everything from country to pop, classical to heavy rock can be found across Canada and across the globe performed by Canadian artists.
The National Film Board, a film crew in Canada, is the most famous producer of movies in Canada.However, many Hollywood studios are turning to Canada as an alternative (供替代的选择) to the more expensive US.Many well­known actors, directors, screen writers and movies come from Canada and often scoop awards for their work.
French art was the first to appear in Canada along the St Lawrence in and around Quebec.Since then the volume of art and artists has increased.Canadian photography as well as painting by Canadians is not well­known outside of Canada but recognition is increasing.
Sport is a major part of today's society in Canada.Hockey is the most popular sport with more participants taking part in curling (冰壶)．American­style football and baseball are also very popular and all of these sports are played across Canada.

Walls blanketed in moss (苔鲜) are popping up in major cities, along with promises that they can reduce air pollution—but can a few square metres of plant matter really deal with the smog?
A Berlin­based firm, Green City Solutions, believes so.Its moss walls, called the CityTree, are roughly 4 square metres in size.Armed with Wi­Fi sensors to monitor the health of moss, a CityTree functions autonomously and requires very little maintenance (维护)．The wall collects rainwater, which is pumped through a built­in irrigation system to the plants, powered by solar energy.As a result, the firm says each CityTree is able to “eat” around 250 grams of particulate(颗粒) matter a day (nearly 90 kg a year) and removes about 240 metric tons of CO2 annually.It also cools the surrounding air.
Aware that getting the surrounding air in contact with the moss wall is crucial for the CityTree to be effective, the inventors ensure that the location of each installation (安装) is chosen carefully.Spots where pollution is heavy due to traffic and where air flow is limited are picked.The importance of this step is explained by the fact that the waste gas from a car generally goes vertically a few kilometres into the air.
But this doesn't mean moss walls will necessarily protect people from pollution.In the Netherlands, researchers found that eight walls installed in Amsterdam failed to reduce the concentration of particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2)．Their report concluded that even doubling the number of moss walls would do little to improve their effectiveness.
The CityTree is not meant for parks or to substitute for street trees, but to add greenery to concrete­heavy spaces where planting is not an option.It's important to remember that street trees provide a whole host of other benefits, including shelter and habitat for urban wildlife, shade and cooling for people on the street, and reduction of urban heat islands.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要以号称能够减少空气污染的，在大城市如雨后春笋般出现的CityTree—苔藓墙是否真的能对付雾霾展开了讨论，分别从其功能、严格选址，以及是否有效发挥作用方面进行了阐述。作者在文末提出个人观点：苔藓墙并不能够取代公园和街道树木。
12．What do we know about the CityTree?
A．It can absorb some air pollutants.
B．It can irrigate other street plants.
C．It produces electricity to cool water.
D．It is aimed at saving water in cities.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“As a result, the firm says each CityTree is able to ‘eat’ around 250 grams of particulate matter a day (nearly 90 kg a year) and removes about 240 metric tons of CO2 annually.”可知，每棵CityTree每天可以“吃”大约250克的颗粒物(每年将近90公斤)，每年可以消除约240吨的二氧化碳。因此它有吸收一些空气污染物的功能。故选A项。
答案：A
13．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The importance of CityTree.
B．The function of CityTree.
C．How to operate CityTree.
D．Where to place CityTree.
解析：段落大意题。通过阅读可知，该段第一句内容为本段中心主旨句，“Aware that getting the surrounding air in contact with the moss wall is crucial for the CityTree to be effective, the inventors ensure that the location of each installation is chosen carefully.(考虑到让周围的空气与苔藓墙接触对城市树的有效性至关重要，发明者确保每个装置的位置都是精心选择的)”可知，本段主要在讲述苔藓墙的安装位置。故选D项。
答案：D
14．Why is the example of Amsterdam mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A．To show that CityTree can't always work well.
B．To prove that CityTree can reduce air pollutants.
C．To emphasize the necessity of building moss walls.
D．To analyze the reasons for the failure of the program.
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段“But this doesn't mean moss walls will necessarily protect people from pollution.(但这并不意味着苔藓墙一定会保护人们免受污染)”可知，该例子是为了证明苔藓墙并不一定会发挥作用。故选A项。
答案：A
15．What is the author's attitude towards replacing street trees with moss walls?
A．Ambiguous. B．Disapproving.
C．Supportive. D．Cautious.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“The CityTree is not meant for parks or to substitute for street trees, but to add greenery to concrete­heavy spaces where planting is not an option.(CityTree并不是为公园设计的，也不是用来替代街道上的树的，而是为混凝土密集的空间增加绿色植物，在这些空间里不可以种植植物)”可推知，对于用苔藓墙取代街道上树这种做法，作者是反对的。故选B项。
答案：B
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。
Most of us don't have millions of dollars to go door­to­door to persuade people to care about climate change.But most of us do have parents.　16　Because if we can't convince the people who love us more than anything in the world to take action on climate, who can we convince?
It might be a hard conversation.If you do accept this challenge, here are a few suggestions.　17　If you've ever used any poisonous terms, please get rid of them from your vocabulary.Otherwise, you're making everything worse.
Share a couple of informative articles on the topic.Bill McKibben's article in Rolling Stone is great and very readable.　18　The most important thing for them to understand is that on our current path we may no longer have a climate that allows for stable, secure societies within the lifetime
