【题目】Sonya and her family have been homeless since she was 3 years old. Over the years, they have moved more than 15times to different shelters around New York City. Moving around was hard on Sonya。At school, Sonya hid her homeless from teachers and other students. She didn’t want to be treated differently from other kids.

In sixth grade, Sonya discovered a way to deal with some of her stress. She began studying dance at her middle school. “IT was a way for me to express myself, instead of just holding everything in,”she explains. Soon, Sonya auditioned(试演)for a summer dance camp run by Alvin Alley, a famous dance company. She was accepted. “I was excited,”says Sonya.

Dancing became an even more important part of Sonya’s life in high school. But things were not going well for Sonya at school. Each time her family moved to a new shelter, Sonya often took care of her younger sisters and brothers. She helped them get ready in the morning and took them to school. They would be on time, but Sonya would be late.

Worrying about her family kept Sonya from thinking about her own future. That changed the summer after 11th grade. Sonya learned she would have to go to summer school to graduate. She became determined to succeed, no matter what. “It was a wake-up call,”she says.“I had to focus on school and on myself.”

Sonya made up the work that she had missed, and finally graduated from high school. No one in her family had gone to college before. But in September 2015, Sonya enrolled in the State University of New York at Potsdam. She plans to become a doctor for kids and to teach dance to children who have disabilities.

【题目】Discovering Tasmania

The island of Tasmania is separated from mainland Australia by the Bass Strait. The island is a place of natural beauty and has more than 2,000 km of walking tracks and 18 national parks. If you go on a tour, you’ll discover a wild and beautiful place where the people are friendly and the food is delicious. If you don’t like walking, there are other tours you can choose from including a river cruise and cycling. You can also combine your tour with fishing, sailing or sunbathing on the beach.

One of the most incredible places to walk is along the Tarkine coast which is located in the north-west of Tasmania. It’s such a wild and remote area that you can easily complete your walk without seeing anyone apart from the members of your group and your two guides. The area contains the largest temperate rainforest in Australia which is home to more than 50 endangered species. It is also home to many Aboriginal Heritage Sites. Your guides will provide you with plenty of information about the area as you complete that part of your tour. During your tour, you’ll come across rivers, mountain ranges, spectacular waterfalls, wildlife and long wild beaches. It will be an experience you won’t easily forget.

Tour Itinerary:

Day 3:

The highlight of today’s hike is the Tarkine Falls, a beautiful 15-metre waterfall.

Day 4:

Today you can stay at the camp and bathe in the Tarkine Falls, or you can go for a day hike for more fantastic views of the forest.

Day 5:

After a last hike through the forest, you are picked up at about 4:00 p.m. and you arrive in Launceston at around 7:00 p.m.

Having a clean and organized workspace takes time and effort—especially if we want to keep it that way. According to recent statistics, the average office employee spends one and a half hours a day looking for things. That's an hour and a half that is wasted every day because of disorganization. Keeping things organized can give you more time each day. Having a clean workspace can have a number of additional surprising benefits. Let's look at some of those now.

Untidiness can be a distraction that interferes with your thought process and prevents you from being as effective as you can be. When your workspace is clean and organized, you can spend more time focused on your tasks, without the unorganized chaos to attend to.
Attain More Success
It's hard to be productive when you're disorganized. Organization can make it easier to concentrate, and allows you to get things done faster. Whether you're an employee or selfemployed, organization is a crucial component for success. If clients see that you're well organized, they'll be more willing to trust you.
Make a Better Impression
In addition to making it easier to focus and work, having a clean workspace also helps to convey a professional image. Your workspace says more about you than you may think. When someone walks past your space, they instantly form an opinion about you based on what your space looks like. However, to the outsider, you may look overwhelmed and incapable of taking on extra projects.
Have a Happier Work Experience
If you're surrounded by a clean environment you'll have space to think, will be able to get more done and will feel better working in that space.
Fortunately, keeping your space clean and organized is easier than you might think. You'll be amazed at the difference a clean workspace can make to your mindset and how much more you'll be able to accomplish during the day.
A. Improve Focus
B. Regain Tidiness
C. But the results are more than worth it
D. Maybe you feel productive with papers scattered around
E. It shows that you know what you're doing and that you are capable
F. Clearly being disorganized can have a negative effect on your performance
G. Try to get rid of or throw away everything that you don't need to maximize your productivity

【题目】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。
Looking back on the first twenty years of my life, I feel grateful to have been so healthy and happy. I'm happy due to many key factors. They include my physical health, healthy finances and my family's happiness.
Health comes first for me, because without health everything else is meaningless. Imagine starting a career without good health. Imagine achieving anything without good health.
Good health is not enough to be happy. Money obviously pays for the basic necessities of life—food, housing, clothing, etc. —but it is also necessary for other reasons. Money guarantees we always get good medical treatment when we fall ill.
Family is another important factor in having a happy life because it provides the love, joy, and support that everyone needs. I love my family with all my heart. I get pleasure from their pleasure. I suffer when they suffer.They give me advice when I have misunderstandings with my friends. More importantly, they are always there to share everything with me.
As long as I stay healthy, work hard to earn enough money and share both good times and bad times with my family, I will always be the happiest girl in the world.
A. My family help me get through pressures and difficulties.
B. Clearly, good health is much more important than any other aspect of one's life.
C. Besides, we can use money to improve our life.
D. We still need money in today's society.
E. Sometimes the amount of money we have is determined by our happiness.
F. These three factors are all I need in this world.
G. Having good health and healthy finances, we can turn our attention to the happiness of our family.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
What will man be like in the future—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller, so we may assume (假定) that man will continue to grow taller. Again, as time goes on, we shall have to use our brains more and more. This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular, the forehead will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, we are likely to make less use of our arms and legs, which, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.
Perhaps all these give the impression that in the future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us.
(1)What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.Man's life will be different in the future.
B.Future man will look quite different from us.
C.Man is growing taller and uglier as time passes.
D.Man's organs' functions will be weaker.
(2)What serves as the evidence that man is changing?
A.Man's hair is getting thinner and thinner.
B.Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.
C.Man's arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.
D.Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.
(3)According to the passage, we can learn that ________.
A.human beings will become less attractive in the future
B.less use of a part of the body will become weaker
C.human beings hope for a change in the future life
D.future life is always predictable
