Three weeks ago, we were living paycheck to paycheck. We survived on my husband’s low-paid job and my disability. We have kids. Also, I was experiencing a terrible tumor (肿瘤)on my neck, leaving me staying in bed in extreme pain, but the operation was to be $8,000, out of pocket, because Medicare only covers 80%.

To take me to the hospital, my husband took a day off work. At 7 am, his boss called. He was being placed on paid leaving, waiting for an investigation into a mistake he had made at work.

We both panicked. Having slowly worked our way out of poverty (贫穷) for 8 years, we were so close to being OK and it was all falling away. As my husband was a great worker, we decided to stay positive and hope for the best. However, two days later he received the official phone call-he was fired.

Having no savings to pay bills, we cried hopelessly. We went to the welfare office only to be told that he couldn’t collect unemployment for 8 weeks, meaning he had the possibility of having $0 income for two months. It was terrifying.

With only enough food to last for about a week, we applied for food stamps and Medicaid. Then we worked together- diving into job applications. After sending out resumes (简历)to everywhere in the field, he came across some promising companies. We kept our fingers crossed. Hopefully, we could get out of trouble as early as possible. Soon I got a phone call----my neck operation was going to be free now that we were poor again. And my husband got an email invitation for a video interview and it went great. He would be paid $3 more an hour than his last job. What a roller coaster ride!

4. What was the family like before the husband got fired? A. They showed little concern for each other. B. They lived in an extremely poor area. C. They could hardly make ends meet. D. They led a rich and comfortable life. 5. Why did the boss call the husband?

A. To ask him about the truth. B. To tell him about a decision.

C. To persuade him to quit his job. D. To warn him to mind his work attitude. 6 What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?

A. We were uncertain about our future. B. We waited hopelessly. C. We felt more and more nervous. D. We wished ourselves good luck

7. What life lesson has the author learned from her experience? A. Many hands make light work. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. When one door shuts, another opens. D. One false step makes a great difference.

C

Going on vacation can be challenging for people with physical disabilities. Hotels aren't always clear about how accessible (可进入)they are and the adaptive equipment needed to participate in certain activities can be expensive or difficult to get. This is where the online travel marketplace Wheel the World comes in. The website connects physically disabled people with special tour packages, depending on the person's needs.

Today Wheel the World offers over 30 accessible destinations in the U.S. and abroad. They've served almost 900 disabled people, their family, and friends. Travelers can sign up for trips to destinations such as New York, Hawaii, Paris, London, and Kruger National Park in South Africa. Trip packages can include adaptive equipment such as wheelchairs, which can be used on the beach and in the ocean, and kayaks (皮艇)，which can help those disabled to kayak. The team also checks the accessibility of destinations themselves, evaluating（评估） things such as door widths, bed heights, bathrooms' accessibility and if lifts are functioning.

Silberstein, the company's founder, says there are some trips that are suitable for blind people, though Wheel the World focuses on people with mobility（移动能力） issues. And in the future, they plan to include trips for people with hearing loss, and people with emotional disabilities. “One of the biggest barriers for travelers with physical disabilities is finding information about accessible trips, which is a gap（差距） Wheel the World aims to close,” says Silberstein.

Wheel the World is working to enlarge tours in Europe —— currently their website lists London and Paris as the only destinations on the continent, but their eventual goal is much higher. “We want to allow millions of disabled people to travel to thousands of destinations,” Silberstein says. 8. What is the function of the first paragraph?

A. To show the great success Wheel the World has gained. B. To tell us the difficulties the disabled face in life. C. To introduce the background of Wheel the World. D. To remind us of the problems with hotel service. 9. What does Wheel the World focus on? A. Collecting travel information for tourists. B. Increasing the online sales of wheelchairs. C. Extending travel business to the whole world. D. Providing proper travel services for the disabled. 10. What does the text mainly tell us?

A. Silberstein has made significant contributions to global tourism.

B. Wheel the World helps people with disabilities enjoy their vacations. C. Advanced equipment is enabling the disabled to travel around the world. D.

B. Determined and humorous. C. Flexible but aimless. D. Creative but hesitant.

Lucy Hughes, a 24-year-oId English inventor, has used skin and scales (鳞)from fish to create a new kind of plastic that will break down in about six weeks. Her invention won this year's James Dyson Award.

Ms. Hughes was very aware of how wasteful many products are. Plastic items (物品)，for example, are often made from new plastic, used once for a short time, and then thrown away. She decided to challenge herself to make something out of waste instead.

Fishing is a big business in England, and the University of Sussex where Ms. Hughes studied wasn't far from the coast. She spent some time studying the fishing business, and the things that were thrown away. She was amazed by the amount of waste from fish that gets thrown away.

After some tests, Ms. Hughes decided that the fish skin and scales seemed like the most likely parts for her product. But then she needed something to bind (hold the material together) with. She found that red algae (红藻)was the best binder.

Ms. Hughes called her finished product “MarinaTex”, which is clear and feels like plastic, but stronger than regular plastic of the same thickness. MarinaTex is also cheap to make since it's made from fish waste. Ms. Hughes says that the waste from one Atlantic cod (a fish) could make 1,400 bags. The process of making MarinaTex also doesn't use much energy. Most importantly, MarinaTex doesn't take hundreds of years to break down.

Ms. Hughes thinks that one of the best uses for MarinaTex will be in some kinds of food packaging（包装） where plastic is currently being used. Ms. Hughes is looking forward to moving ahead with her idea. She wants to try to make her recipe（配方） for making her plastic even better. She hopes the award money will help her with the process of getting MarinaTex into use as quickly as possible.

12. Why did Lucy Hughes invent MarinaTex? A. To turn waste into treasure. B. To win James Dyson Award. C. To gain people's wide attention. D. To help the local fishing business.

13. What is MarinaTex's greatest advantage over traditional plastic? A. It is of higher quality. B. It is more convenient to use. C. Its production cost is fairly low. D. It can break down in a short time.

14. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. MarinaTex has been put to practical use. B. Lucy Hughes hopes for more fund support. C. Lucy Hughes intends to improve her invention.

D. MarinaTex will replace regular plastic in food packaging. 15. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Red Algae: the Best Binder to Hold Materials B. Young Inventor Creates Plastic from Fish Skin C. Fish Waste Has Affected the Environment Seriously D. Lucy Hughes: an English Inventor Won James Dyson Award

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。

Everybody yawns (打哈欠) – from unborn babies to great-grandparents. But why, exactly, do we yawn? 16 . One theory is that when we are bored or tired, we just don’t breathe as deeply as we usually do. 17 .Therefore, yawning helps us bring more oxygen into the blood and move more carbon dioxide out of the blood.

Yawning, then, would be an action that we can’t really control to help us control our oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. Sounds good, but other studies have shown that breathing more oxygen does not make us yawn less. _____18_____. Hmmm. Now what?

19 . Stretching (拉伸) and yawning may be a way to relax muscles and joints, increase heart rate, and feel more awake.

Other people believe that yawning is a protective way to redistribute (重新分配) the oil-like substance（物质） called surfactant that helps keep lungs from drying up. So, if we didn’t yawn, according to this theory, taking a deep breath would become harder and harder – and that would not be good!

But there is one idea about yawning that everyone knows to be true: 20 . If you yawn in class, you’ll probably notice a few other people will start yawning, too. Even thinking about yawning can get you yawning. How many times have you yawned while reading this article? We hope not many!

A. It seems to spread

B. Yawning seems to be common

C. No one knows for sure, but there are many theories

D. Another theory is that yawning stretches the lung and lung tissue E. This theory indicates yawning, like a deep breath, helps us feel fresh F. Similarly, breathing more carbon dioxide does not increase yawning
