1.Dear Mr.Whitman,
I am writing to thank you for allowing Maria and me to use your office as a workspace as well as to praise your wonderful organizational skills.Maria and I,as you know,have been in your office many times in the past few clays writing letters to raise money for our community service trip to Pucallpa,Peru,where we will work with poor children.Not only did you allow us to use your office space,but also you helped us greatly by providing us with a list of possible contributors.Without your assistance,I don't think we would have been able to raise enough money for such a trip.
We recognize that accepting our request for office space required flexibility on your part,but because of your excellent organizational skills and assistance we were able to accomplish our objectives without disrupting your daily routine.Every time we needed office supplies,such as pens,highlighters,envelopes,or paper,we were able to find them with ease.Your donations of the materials and postage needed to send over one hundred letters are most appreciated.We could not have done this without you.
You have helped us greatly this past week.Your generosity will not only provide us with the opportunity to make this trip possible,hut will also be a great benefit both to the children in Pucallpa and us.Again,we thank you for your help.
Sincerely,

11.Family trip
Most kids hate to see their summer end,perhaps none more than the Murset children.This summer,the Murset family decided to travel across the country to help families in need,which proved to be a wonderful experience.
People.com reported that Gregg Murset and his wife,Kami,decided to take their six children,ranging from 7to 16years old,from their home in Phoenix,Arizona,across the country to spend 20days on the road to help 25families in need."I told the kids and my wife over breakfast that I wanted to do this,"Gregg Murset,40,told People.com."They all looked at me like I was crazy,"he said,"but when we started to read the stories of people we were going to help,their attitudes completely changed."
Through Gregg's company,he was able to be matched with groups such as Autism Speaks,the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society,and others that connected the Mursets to families with children who have cancer and other serious illnesses.
"When you have a kid who is struggling,the last thing you're thinking of is cleaning the house,"says Gregg.
The family traveled to many cities in their journey,including Albuquerque,Denver,Kansas City,Chicago,and Buffalo.The trip covered 6,500miles."It's been amazing to watch my own children open their eyes and see that the world is bigger than they think,"he said."Even the little kids are learning from this experience."
And the families they've helped feel blessed to have met them."They showed up at 8a.m.and we had a list of things we needed help with,"said Jim Spencer,a 61-year-old father in Warren,Michigan,whose 12-year-old daughter,Lexi,was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer a couple of years ago.
The Mursets also used their travels as an opportunity to visit areas they had never been to,including the Statue of Liberty.But for Gregg,the main purpose of the trip was to teach his children to show concern for the happiness of other people rather than for themselves.
"There is nothing wrong with your kid getting off the sofa,doing some work and sweating,"said Gregg."It's good for the kid and it's good for the soul."

12.All police officers should be made to take an annual fitness test,with a pay cut for those who repeatedly fall,a review said.In the Metropolitan Police,more than half (52percent) of its male officers are overweight,a fifth (22pe cent) are obese,and one in 100are"morbidly obese"the report showed.For women officers in the Met,a third (32percent) are overweight,16per cent are obese and 2percent are morbidly obese.
Tom Winsor,who has carried out the widest-ranging review of police pay and conditions in more than 30years,said those who fail the test three times should be subject to disciplinary procedures and a pay cut.He also recommended that strict testing should become a requirement of promotion.
"It is clear that the existing pay system is unfair and inefficient.It was designed in 1920and has remained largely unchanged since 1978."Mr.Winsor said,"I think the public will be surprised that after passing a fitness test at the point of becoming a policeman,except in special units like firearms,physical fitness is not tested again in an over-30-years career."
He also added,''Officers who work on the front line,exercising their powers as constables in the most difficult circumstances,have nothing to fear from this review.''But this should get tougher by September 2018,along similar lines to the test currently used in Northern Ireland.This includes climbing over walls and pulling bodies and was designed to reflect situations which"police officers do and can become involved in".
"We are not looking for supermen."Mr Winsor predicted that many officers would welcome the proposals,saying they would see it"as a necessary protection for themselves and the public".

61.At the beginning,many figures are used to showC.

C.how serious overweight problems are among the police officers
D.what are different between the male and female officers'diets
62.According to Mr Winsor,B.
A.a police officer cannot work over 30years
B.the present pay system is long out of date
C.firemen don't need any fitness tests
D.the front-line officers don't need such tests

①push-ups②hockey③swimming④badmintons⑤climbing⑥wrestling
A.③④⑤B.②⑤⑥C.①③⑤D.①④⑥
64.Why did Mr.Winsor believe the police officers would support him?A
A.Because testing is helpful to both their health and safety.
B.Because most of them dream of becoming a superman.
C.Because he promises them an increase in salary.
D.Because the government support him to make a reforem.
65.What's the best title of the passage?D
A.No Jobs,No Hope.

9.Five years ago,David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day."I was a clothes addict,"he jokes."I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled."Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office.He hardly ever wears a necktie."I'm working harder than ever,"David says,"and I need to feel comfortable."
       More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work.In the United States,the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual.In the early 1990s,many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday,but only on Friday.This became known as"dress-down Friday"or"casual Friday.""What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing."said business consultant Maisly Jones.
       Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes?One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code."A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work,"says the owner of a software company,"so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code."Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes.In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company,85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale (士气).Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative effect on productivity.Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money."Suits are expensive,if you have to wear one every day,"one person said."For the same amount of money,you can buy a lot more casual clothes."

16.London has become a cycle friendly zone after the launch of a new bike hire scheme.It has been designed to encourage more people to cycle in and around central London.
So how does it  work?First you have to sign up to the scheme to be sent a key.The key will unlock one of the bikes,which are kept at docking stations in  and around central London.You have to pay an access fee for the key and then you pay as you go,for he length of time you use the bike.
Transport for London,which runs the scheme,are hoping to have 6,000 bikes and 400 docking stations in place by the end of the year.The new hire system is hoping to ease congestion in London and is expected to generate up to 40,000 extra cycle trips a day into the city centre.London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the scheme and said London had been"filled with thousands of gleaming machines that will transform the look and feel of our streets and become as commonplace on our roads as black cabs and red buses".
However,there  have been a few problems since the scheme was launched last Friday.On the first day some people found they couldn't dock their bike  properly and their usage of the bike had not registered.Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few"teething problems"and have said they wouldn't charge for the first day as a"gesture of goodwill".Some other people have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles.
Despite the comments,the green-thinking London Mayor still seems very positive about things,saying,"My campaign for the capital to become the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a gigantic pedal-powered push forwards."

6.The price of coffee beans hits a 12-year high today.I thought there might
be some kind of coffee-market story,like we saw with cocoa earlier this summer.
But the main driver of coffee prices right now is simpler:Colombia has had
a few year s of weak coffee harvests because of too much rain,which has reduced
the global supply.And coffee drinkers keep buying coffee,even as prices rise,in
other words,demand is unchanged.
The higher price of beans-up about 40percent since March-means higher prices for the coffee you buy by the pound.But it probably won't affect the coffee you buy by the cup.
Smuckers,which sells Folgers and Millstone coffees,recently said it was raising its prices because of the higher cost of beans.Starbucks,however,said it would absorb the higher cost of beans without raising prices.
"You see it much more in the grocery store because the raw materials are a big factor of cost,"Jose Sette of the International Coffee Organization told me."In a coffee shop,your big expenses are rent and labor."
While real-world supply and demand is the big driver of the price of beans,there may be some speculative action in coffee business in the future.
But futures (期货) of the high-grade Arabica beans are traded in the US,where regulations prevent speculators (投机商) from controlling the market,hoping such things won't happen just as in London summer market.That suggests that prices should fall when supply improves-which may happen next year.
Some experts say that farmers in third world countries won't actually benefit from higher prices in this case.When the price difference is due to supply and demand,the profit of the seller usually doesn't go up.

71.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A
A.Why coffee is getting more expensive?
B.How farmer benefits from the high price?
C.Whether the US will control the coffee market?
D.What has caused the reduction of coffee?
72.From the second paragraph we can infer that.B
A.Colombia is the coffee trading center of the world
B.Colombia coffee output contains a final share of the world
C.People need more and more coffee
D.Coffee sales will be getting less and less
73.In this summer's coffee bean market,B.
A.the US made more rules about coffee prices
B.speculators once held the coffee bean market in London
C.coffee bean trading was seriously disorganized
D.coffee bean prices were very low in the US
74.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?C
A.The price difference determines the profit of the seller.
B.Smuckers is a famous coffee manufacturer.
C.Real-world supply and demand decides the prices.
D.Coffee prices will become much higher next year.
75.What does the underlined word"it"in the fourth paragraph refer to?C
A.Folgers. B.Millstone. C.Smuckers. D.Starbucks.
10.What's life like on a deserted island?Senator(参议员) Jeff Flake of Arizona decided to find out.
The adventurous senator took a vacation from Capitol Hill and went on a four-day Robinson Crusoe style holiday with his two teenage sons to a remote,uninhabited island in the North Pacific Ocean.
The senator and his sons,15-year-old Tanner and 13-year-old Dallin,traveled 5,200 miles from Phoenix,Arizona to the island of Biggarenn.They didn't carry any food or water.
The island is part of the Marshall Islands.It offered no basic facilities,so the Flakes had to catch and cook their own food and purify their water.Their diet was made up of coconuts,crab and fish.They captured the crab and fish themselves and cooked the food over an open fire started with a magnifying glass(放大镜).
The Flakes brought along a lobster(龙虾) trap in hopes of having some delicious treats,but lost it within the first few hours after it was attacked by a shark.They also carried two pumps to remove salt from ocean water.It took them hours each night pumping for just a few gallons of fresh water.
One of the most memorable moments of the trip,the father said,was when he and his 15-year-old son were chased by sharks after spearing(叉) a fish in the ocean.
Still,it was quite an enjoyable holiday for the senator."For a dad it was a wonderful thing.No video games around,no television,no distractions,no texting,"Flake recalled.
