8．Every year millions of people around the world die due to smoking．This costs countries lots（46）ofmoney and causes great damage to the welfare of the people．There are huge numbers of smokers in Asia．This is（47）whywe have chosen anti-smoking as the subject of our ad campaign．
The target audience is high-school teenagers．Our main aim is to discourage young people from（48）smoking（smoke）．Our research shows that young people care about（49）their（they） health and future．We will educate them about the bad physical effects of smoking and how smoking affects those people around them．We will explain all the（50）advantages（advantage） of not smoking，such as saving money which（51）canthen be spent on other things．Our interviews also indicate that young people（52）are（be） concerned about what is cool and what their friends like．We will show how smoking is not cool or（53）attractive（attract），because it（54）makes（make） people smell terrible，and gives them bad teeth，skin and fingernails．If we can convince young people not to start，they might then urge their parents and other people to give（55）upsmoking，too．

7．It's always emotional when a sports superstar announces his or her retirement．And when Kobe Bryant，37，wrote a poem called Dear Basketball to say goodbye to one of the greatest，most fascinating careers in NBA history，the sadness was overwhelming．
Whether competing in the Finals or making jump shots after midnight in an empty gym，he has an unconditional love for the game．When Team USA was training in Las Vegas months before it headed to London for the 2012Olympic Games，Bryant started his workout at 5：30every morning in the gym until team practice began at 11：00am．During each practice Bryant counted every single shot he hit，and he wouldn't leave the gym until he had hit at least 400．
This kind of hard work certainly paid off．He won an NBA MVP award，five NBA championships with the Lakers and two Olympic gold medals，making him one of the greatest players in NBA history．

6．When I was 16years old and in foster care （非亲代养）in Tennessee，people told me I was unadoptable．But I desperately wanted a family．I sought the help of a judge，even the commissioner of the Department of Children's Services，and was adopted just a week before my 18th birthday．
We have a lot to be grateful for and this holiday season let's not forget about the more than 415，000 youth in foster care especially older youth．These youth are the most likely to get overlooked for adoption，but they shouldn't be．They need and deserve a family just as much as young children do．Making an older youth a part of your family can bring just as much a joy as adopting a baby or a younger child-without all the diapers and potty training．
My adoption was life changing and probably the best thing that ever happened to me．I still remember the first gift my parents gave to me．It was a Mickey Mouse key chain with a key to their home．They told me that no matter what happened they would always love me and I'd always have a place to come home to．This is our 17th Thanksgiving together…
My first Thanksgiving with my family was a little overwhelming with lots of extended family including grandparents，aunts，uncles，and cousins．However，it's when I realized that I would never have to spend another holiday alone and that was truly an amazing feeling．
I was always eager to spend time with my little sister，Beth．She was six when I joined the family．My dad always says he knew we were really sisters，and I was no longer a guest in the house when Beth and I had our first fight．Today，she's one of my best friends，and I'm her biggest cheerleader．
There were also bittersweet Thanksgivings．One we spent in my mom's hospital room．It was there that she helped me plan my wedding but passed away three weeks before the ceremony．My dad walked me down the aisle，and my sister was my maid of honor．Because of our bond，we were able to support each other through that challenging time and that's what family is for-the good and bad times．
It's nice having my dad and sister to share holidays and special occasions．But they're even more important when it comes to the little things-like having someone to share my bad day with，celebrate my promotion at work，or help me think through a difficult decision．It's in these moments that I just can't imagine being alone in the world．
I'm so glad that I didn't listen to those people who said I was unadoptable，I'd never find a family，and that I was putting myself out there for rejection．It's a risk for older foster youth to consider adoption．It's an opportunity to be rejected once again． But it's a risk they should take because life doesn't end at 18．It's really just beginning．
If you know someone who might consider adopting an older teen，please share my story--and have him or her think of my family．They didn't get to see my first steps or watch me be a pilgrim in my second grade Thanksgiving play．But they taught me so many things about life，and were there to watch me walk across the stage when I graduated from college and law school and accompanied me to the White House last year as I was honored for my work helping foster youth．
I look forward to many more Thanksgivings with my family，and I'm eternally thankful they chose me to be a part of their family．

2．Louis Armstrong，the most influential jazz musicians，is considered great not only because of his（61）achievements （achieve） but also because of his personalities．
（62）Born （bear） in a poor family in New Orleans in 1901，instead of（63）committing （commit） crimes to get money like some boys in his situation，Louis would sing on the streets in order to earn a few ccnts from（64）passers-by．（passer-by）．However，at the age of 12，Louis was arrested because of firing a gun into the air at a New Year's Eve party．In a school of problem boys，he was taught to play drums and the trumpet，（65）ewhichnabled him to find work related with music after he left the school．A well-known musician Joe"King"Oliver noticed Louis and began to teach him about jazz．When Oliver left New Orleans in 1917，Louis took（66）overhis job in one of the best bands in town．
After becoming famous，Louis would introduce his particular style of jazz to enthusiastic audicnccs while（67）traveling（travel） around the United States as well as Europe．Apart from being a famous jazz musician，he was also an unofficial goodwill ambassador who spoke（68）publicly（public） about the rights of black people in America、Despite the fact（69）thathe became rich and famous，Louis Armstrong continued to live a simple live in a working-class neighbourhood．He continued playing and recording until July 6th，1971，when he died in his sleep at his home in New York．He is still remembered as the most （70）distinguished（distinguish） musician in the early history of jazz．

1．Ode to Joy （《欢乐颂》），a 42-episodes TV series，is about five young women living on the 22nd floor of Shanghai's"Ode to Joy"high-rise community．They become friends while pursuing love and career advancement．Since its appearance on April 18，Ode to Joy has been praised for its realistic description of the hidden struggles of city life．'The audience can relate to the characters since their experiences can be traced back to real life too，"commented the Dahe Daily．"Even better，female audiences can find themselves in one or two of the characters because the characters embody feminine archetypes （原：型．）found throughout the society．"
But the idea of following a group of women as they lead a city life is hardly a pioneering concept．In many ways，Ode to Joy resembles American TV series like Sex and the City （1998-2004）and Desperate Housewives （2004-2012）．These two series were praised for their feminist themes，but they also employed well-known female archetypes to illustrate the range of dilemmas women face．Deborah A．Macey，a communications professor at Saint Louis University in the US，divides these archetypes up into four ways：the iron maiden，the sex object，the child，and the mother．"The iron maiden is portrayed as masculine and career-oriented．The sex object owns her sexuality and genuinely loves her body．The child archetype is naive，optimistic，and dim-witted．The mother archetype connects the characters in the series and serves as the dominant storyteller，"Macey said on the online media forum"In Media Res"．
Sounds familiar？Yes，these features can be seen in the characters of Ode to
Joy．Andy Me （Liu Tao）．for instance，partly embodies the iron maiden role．She's super smart，rational and direct．She moves from the US to Shanghai and takes the position of CFO at a top Chinese company．Fan Shcngmei （Jiang Xin） can be seen as the"mother"in the scries．Despite the fact that she s in charge of her own family issues，she takes her friends under her wing and stands up for them．Qu Xiaoxiao （Wang ziwen），the sexy and beautiful girl bom with silver spoon，perfectly illustrates what is bitter-sweet relationship between friends and lovers．With that being said．Ode to Joy doesn't lack creativity．It assigns the"child"role to two characters-the straightforward，naive Qiu Yingying （Yang Zi），and the good-tempered，hard-working Guan Ju'er （Qiao Xin）．
But this category of TV series has its risks．Having five main characters means the drama isn't story-driven but character-driven．"It's not something you often see in Chinese TV dramas，"Yuan Zidan，Ode to Joyys screenwriter，told Changjiang Daily．"But we want to challenge the norms．"

28．Which of the following is NOT the reason why the audiences like Ode to Joy？A．

B．child
C．mother
D．sex object
30．What does the underlined word"embody"mean in Paragraph 1？A．

B．classify

31．What can we infer from the passage？B．

D．Andy He fully illustrates the iron maiden who is both masculine and career-oriented．

20．This summer，I was part of something that I have carried with me every day since．That was an experience that changed my life．The Kentucky YMCA has a program called Y-Corps，which are service trips of around 20students．This summer，two trips were made across Kentucky，one down south and another trip up north．
I was on the Y-Corps service to the North in the Indianapolis，Indiana，and our trip began at the end of July．I had butterflies flying around me as my parents drove me to Louisville，where the Service to the North team would set off on a nine-day journey in a school bus.1knew some of the team members from previous Y-Conferences，but there were many that I had never met，and I had never participated in a service trip like this before．Thought I was nervous，I was also ready to try something completely out of my comfort zone．Once we loaded the bus with our lightly packed suitcases and sleeping bags，we said our goodbyes to our parents and departed for an adventure that changed all of our lives．
With the Kentucky Y，s motto："Participate，don't anticipate （预知），we had no idea where we headed．Road signs were our only clue of where we would be stopping．We did service work at a Middle Way House in Indiana，a Detroit Market Garden，a Pennsylvania YMCA for an invasive species clean-up，the Upper Main Line Y in Pennsylvania to spend time with children at a summer camp，a Hurricane Sandy clean-up in Jersey Shore and the National Mall in Washington D．C．We slept on floors of local YMCAs that would take us in for a night，and some nights we didn't have the opportunity to shower．We had late nights on the road driving from city to city，and early mornings to start the day journaling and reflecting on the day before．
