Jose Alberto Gutierrez’s life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina 20 years ago. It happened that he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighborhoods and seeing books thrown away by the rich. It inspired him to start rescuing books from the trash. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library.
In Colombia’s capital city of Bogota, libraries tend to be far away from poorer communities. The choice of buying new books is non-existent for poor families and having access to a library of books is a luxury. Gutierrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. But his mother was a passionate reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutierrez, who never let a lack of formal education stop him.
Today, his community library, “The Strength of Words”, occupies most of his home and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to storybooks can be found in his collection of over 20,000 books! The Strength of Words library is open every weekend, and children in Gutierrez’s neighbourhood are allowed to look through the book collection. Adults are also welcome to expand their vision and develop new skills for a better life.
Today, the Gutierrez family doesn’t only want to start libraries in neighbourhoods. They want to create more safe spaces for school children to spend their time reading. This is important for kids living in Bogota where many young people waste time in the streets.
Gutierrez’s journey to give treasure back to his local community is an amazing example of how every one of us can improve the lives of those around us by identifying needs, investing time and finding a simple solution. We can take a leaf out of Gutierrez’s book and act the same way.
24. Where might Gutierrez find a copy of Anna Karenina?
A. In the trash. B. In a community library.
C. In a rich man’s house. D. In his garbage truck.
25. What do we know about Gutierrez’s library?
A. It aims to recycle and reuse the garbage. B. It is supported by wealthier communities.
C. It is in the charge of his passionate mother. D. It makes knowledge accessible to poor kids.
26. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragragh mean ?
A. We should value Gutierrez’s spirit of paying back.
B. We can follow Gutierrez’s example to help others.
C. We should go to visit Gutierrez’s library personally.
D. We can donate deserted books to Gutierrez’s library.
27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. From Trash to Treasure B. The Books of Gutierrez
C. From Home to Community D. The Strength of Reading
C
Lac Rose in Senegal about 30 kilometers northeast of Dakar, is the highest salinity(盐度) lake in the world. Much higher salinity is what gives the lake its famous pink color that changes from a slightly rose pink in the rainy season into a super bright pink during the dry season when salinity at its highest.
The high salt content draws the salt harvesters(收获者)to its banks . First, to protect their skin from the salt, they put a kind of natural vegetable fat on their bodies before entering the water. Using a wooden tool, they drag the salt into the basket made from reeds(a kind of plant). There are three different kinds of salt. There's a type of very powdery salt that is only gathered during the Harmattan when the western winds blow from the Sahara over West Africa every year. As the finest or highest grade of salt, the powdery salt is used mainly for cooking. The second type of salt is rougher and always present at the bottom of the lake. This type of salt is generally used for general cooking. Sometimes it is even used for building roads. The third type of salt is the roughest kind that people prefer for their beauty treatments. To harvest this type of salt, salt harvesters put some wood to the bottom of the lake and over time, big salt crystals(晶体)begin to form on them.
Lac Rose is considered as a world heritage site and the local people are willing to share their beauty. The healthy, natural regulation(制度)of the use of the natural resources of this lake is one of the most impressive aspects of the community surrounding this lake. There are no laws needed to protect it. Everyone takes a little bit of what they need and nothing more. There is enough for everyone in the local community. It is a good example of the power of respect and trust in local community.
28. What causes the change of the lake’s pink color?
A. The temperature of the water. B. The salinity of the lake.
C. The height above sea level. D. The height of the sun.
29. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. Powdery salt can be get at any time.
B. Rougher salt contributes to making women beautiful.
C. Harvesters suffer a skin problem because of their work.
D. Harvesters try to do no harm to the lake while working.
30. Which word can best describe the local people?
A. Poor. B. Brave. C. Responsible. D. Humorous.
31. In which section of a newspaper can we find the text?
A. Health B. Technology C. Nature D. Business
D
Take a look at your fingers. Would you believe me if I told you that the length of your fingers in relation to one another can predict your personality? I know that it sounds like one of those silly tests you see on Facebook, but I have to admit that it was spot-on for me.
Look at your three middle fingers of your left hand. Is your index finger(食指)longer than your ring finger? Is your ring finger longer than your index finger? Or are the two the same length?
Category 1: A longer ring finger. If your ring finger is longer than your index finger, research shows that you’re likely a charming type, and you can probably talk yourself out of any situation. Others often find this personality type irresistible(无法抵制的)and will go to great lengths to help you. You’re more likely to take risks, and you’re good at problem-solving. People in this category make great engineers, soldiers and crossword-puzzle solvers.
Category 2: A longer index finger. If your index finger is longer than your ring finger, chances are that you are full of confidence — possibly even to the point of being over-confident and too proud. You are not necessarily shy, but you do enjoy time to yourself especially when you’re trying to complete a project. You are a determined go-getter who can make things happen, but you may be shy when it comes to taking the first step in building up a friendship. You are also probably happy with what you have, but you’re always wishing for more.
Category 3: The two are the same length. If your index finger and ring finger are roughly the same length, you are likely to avoid conflict at all costs and seek to keep the peace in your relationships. You are well-organized, faithful and sympathetic. But deep down under all of that caring and peace-loving, you also can go mad unexpectedly when you’re pushed too far.
How well did these descriptions match your personality? I was surprised at the accuracy in my case.
32. What might people with a long ring finger tend to be like?
A. Creative. B. Attractive. C. Hard-working. D. Harm-hearted.
33. Which is the case with people having a longer index finger?
A. They are not welcome most of the time. B. They always feel confident and never feel shy.
C. They are always satisfied with what they have.
D. They prefer to be left alone when working on a project.
34. Which is a suitable match for “Category 3” people?
A. The crossword-puzzle solver. B. The adventurer.
C. The peacemaker. D. The sweet talker.
35. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. Never believe the silly tests on Facebook. B. The length of fingers can show personality.
C. Why your fingers are not of the same length. D. How to find out about one’s personality exactly.

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。
How to Say Anything
Could you use some advice? Or has something big happened? Our tips can help you say anything to your parents.
Pick the right time. You need your parents’ full attention in order to have a good talk. Try not to bring up something when it’s past your bedtime or when your parent is in a rush. 36 Your parents want to know what’s on your mind, so ask them to make time for you.
Go slowly. What you need to say probably isn’t simple, so don’t try to get it all out in one breath. Give your parents the details they need to make a decision before you start trying to bargain with them. Besides, another thing is also of great importance. 37 Listen to them, and they’ll listen to you.
Be honest. Your parents will respond better if you believe that you’re telling the truth and not trying to avoid blame. Take responsibility for your part in getting into trouble or earning a bad grade.
38 Things get worse the longer you wait.
Try, try again. When you fly off the handle, your parents have a hard time seeing your point of view. If you’re angry or frustrated, take a break from the conversation. Excuse yourself, and go somewhere to cool off. 39
Be brave. 40 But your parents almost always can help you solve a problem or answer a big question, and you’ll almost always feel better afterward. Talk to your parents. You’ll be glad you did.
A. If you’ve done something wrong, admit it.
B. After all, details determine success or failure.
C. Remember that conversation is about give and take.
D. If your parents are occupied, make an “appointment”.
E. Your conversation will be reduced to a terrible quarrel.
F. Gather your thoughts and try talking to your parents again.
G. You might have a question for long before you get up the courage to let it out.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had been swimming competitively for five years but after such a long time, I was ready to quit. I was often the only African American at the swimming competitions and our team couldn’t afford good uniforms. However, my number-one reason for wanting to quit was that I kept receiving “Honorable Mentions (荣誉奖)”. Any athlete knows that you don’t want to have a bookshelf full of “Honorable Mentions”, which you get just because you showed up.
One summer’s day, the day before a big swim meeting, I decided to tell my grandma that I was quitting the swim team. When I told her, she looked me in the eye and said, “Baby, remember these words ‘Quitters never win and winners never quit.’ Your grandmother didn’t raise losers or quitters. You go to that meeting tomorrow, and you swim like you are a grandchild of mine, you hear?” I was too afraid to say anything but “Yes, ma’am.”
The next day we arrived at the swim meeting late, missing my group of swimmers in the 15/16 age group. My coach insisted I should be allowed to swim with the older group. I knew she expected me to take part.
As I mounted the board, all the other girls looked at me. I quickly noticed that these girls were all here to do just one thing — beat me. All of a sudden, my grandma’s words rang in my head, “Quitters never win and winners never quit. You swim like you are a grandchild of mine.” “Yes, Grandma, I will swim like I am a grandchild of yours,” I said to myself.
续写要求：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

【答案】
The match began!I swam harder than I had ever swum before. After the first turn, I was surprised to find that I had a half-body length lead over other girls. However, they soon sped up and narrowed the gap. Halfway through the race, the girl to my left almost drew level with me, while I already began to feel tired. At that moment, the powerful words of my grandma echoed again in my ears, “Quitters never win and winners never quit.” I waved my arms and legs to keep swimming and used every last bit of strength to swim the last 50 meters. As soon as I touched the wall, I looked the screen, waiting anxiously for the result.
