Many schlarships had very specific qualificatins that he didn’t meet. But Carey had 600 vlunteer hurs and started a nnprfit rganizatin which rganized vlunteer pprtunities fr students when he was in high schl.

High schl students perfrm better n tests if they are in a classrm with a view f a green space, instead f a windwless rm r a rm with a view f built-up space, accrding t research frm the University f Illinis Department f Landscape Architecture.
“It is the first t shw a relatinship between studying with a green view and students’ perfrmance.” said William Sullivan, head f the research team. “It’s a substantial finding that if yu have a green view utside yur windw, yu’ll d better n tests.” Sullivan hpes the results f their research will lead t sme changes. “Changes in schl design, fr example, wuld be a much better thing than any f the things we spend mney n in secndary educatin tday,” Sullivan said.
The research included 94 students at five central Illinis high schls. Students were randmly assigned t ne f three kinds f classrms—windwless, with a windw lking ut nt built-up space, r with a windw lking ut nt green space. Each kind f classrm had almst the same size and layut(布局)．The students tk part in ne-n-ne experiments in which they did 30 minutes f activities that included a prfreading(勘校) exercise, a speech and a math exercise. Fllwing the activities the students were given an attentin test which asked them t repeat a series f numbers.
The findings: Students did better n bth study activities and the attentin test if they were in a classrm with a green view, Sullivan said.
The researchers suggest their findings can help planners and plicymakers imprve students’ health and learning. Fr example, planners can chse places fr new schls that already have trees, r they can plant many trees n the site; architects can design classrm windws s they lk nt green spaces.
28. What did the study find ut abut high schl students?
A. They like t have green plants in their classrms.
B. They will get better grades when studying in different classrms.
C. Changes in schl design will influence their attitudes twards teachers.
D. A green view thrugh a classrm windw can imprve their perfrmance.
29. What des the underlined wrd “substantial” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Early.B. Imprtant.C. Useless.D. Pssible.
30. What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. Hw the study was carried ut.B. The result f the study.
C. Why the study was different.D. The purpse f the study.
31. What d the researchers think f the study?
A. It has drawn public attentin t educatin.
B. It can play a guiding rle in schl planning.
C. It has encuraged students t get clse t nature.
D. It needs mre supprt frm high schl teachers.

Autmatin is a widespread term. Nearly everyne agrees that peple will be wrking less nce autmatic machinery came in. Fr ptimists, this is a prmise f liberatin: At last humanity wuld be freed frm cnstant til, and we culd all devte ur days t mre refined pursuits. But thers see a threat: Millins f peple wuld be thrwn ut f wrk, and desperate masses wuld ram the streets. Lking back frm 50 years hence, the cntrversy ver autmatin seemed a quaint and curius episde. The dispute is never reslved.
A. J. Hayes, a leader（and n relatin t me）, wrte in 1964: Autmatin is nt just a new kind f mechanizatin but a revlutinary frce capable f verturning ur scial rder. Whereas mechanizatin made wrkers mre efficient—and thus mre valuable—autmatin threatens t make them superfluus（过剩的）—and thus withut value. The pinins I have cited here represent extreme psitins, and there are als many milder views. But I think it's fair t say that mst early students f autmatin, including bth critics and enthusiasts, believe the new technlgy wuld lead us int a wrld where peple wrked much less.
As fr ecnmic cnsequences, wrries abut unemplyment have certainly nt gne away—nt with jb lsses in the current recessin appraching 2 millin wrkers in ur cuntry alne. But recent jb lsses are cmmnly attributed t causes ther than autmatin, such as cmpetitin frm verseas r a rller-caster financial system. In any case, the visin f a wrld where machines d all the wrk and peple stand idly by has simply nt cme t pass.
The spread f autmatin utside f the factry has altered its scial and ecnmic impact in sme curius ways. In many cases, the net effect f autmatin is nt that machines are ding wrk that peple used t d. Instead we've dispensed with the peple wh used t be paid t run the machines, and we've learned t run them urselves. These trends cntradict almst all the expectatins f early writers n autmatin, bth ptimists and pessimists. S far, autmatin has neither liberated us frm the need t wrk nr deprived us f the pprtunity t wrk. Instead, we're wrking mre than ever.
What abut trades clser t my wn vital interests? Will science be autmated? Technlgy already has a central rle in many areas f research; fr example, genme sequences culd nt be read by traditinal lab-bench methds. Replacing the scientist will presumably be a little harder than replacing the lab technician, but when a machine exhibits enugh curisity and tenacity, I think we'll just have t welcme it as a cmpanin in zealus research. And if the scientist is elbwed aside by an autmatn, then surely the science writer can't hld ut either. I'm ready fr my 15-hur wrkweek.
32. What des the writer mainly want t cnvey in paragraph 1?
A. autmatin results in unemplyment n
B. the issue f autmatin is still in discussin
C. autmatin des mre harm than gd
D. autmatin brings in much cnvenience in life
33. Accrding t A. J. Hayes, we can infer ____.
A. autmatin is mre valuable than what we imagine
B. the disadvantages f autmatin far utweigh the advantages
C. autmatin is a revlutinary frce may causing peple wrthless.
D. the new technlgy wuld lead peple int wrking much less
34. What des the underlined wrd pssibly mean?
A. put…dwn fr. B. set…free frm. C. bring…int. D. take…away frm.
35. What can we cnclude frm this passage?
A. Peple needn't wrk s hard due t autmatin.
B. Autmatin shuld be accepted reasnably in develpment.
C. Traditinal labr frce will be replaced in the near future.
D. Autmatin results in mre jb lsses in the writer's cuntry.

32. B。根据第一段中的“Nearly everyne agreed that peple wuld be wrking less nce cmputes and ther kinds f autmatic machinery became widespread. Fr ptimists, this was a prmise f liberatin: humanity wuld be freed frm cnstant til, and we culd all devte ur days t mre refined pursuits. But thers saw a threat: Millins f peple wuld be thrwn ut f wrk, and desperate masses wuld ram the streets. Lking back frm 50 years hence, the cntrversy ver autmatin seems a quaint and curius episde. The dispute was never reslved.（几乎每个人都同意, 一旦计算机和其他种类的自动化机器普及, 人们的工作量就会减少。对于乐观主义者来说, 这是一种解放的承诺: 最终, 人类将从不断的劳动中解放出来, 我们都可以把我们的时间投入到更精致的追求中去。但其他人看到了一个威胁: 数百万人将失去工作, 绝望的群众将漫步街头。从50年前开始回顾, 围绕自动化的争论似乎是一个古怪而奇怪的插曲。争端从未得到解决。）”可知, 自从自动化产生, 人们对于其孰优孰劣的争论一直持续不断。由此可知, 本段主要想表达的内容是自动化的问题仍在讨论中。故选B。
33. C。根据第二段中“Autmatin is nt just a new kind f mechanizatin but a revlutinary frce capable f verturning ur scial rder. Whereas mechanizatin made wrkers mre efficient-and thus mre valuable-autmatin threatens t make them superfluus—and thus withut value.（自动化不仅是一种新型的机械化, 而且是一种能够颠覆社会秩序的革命力量。机械化使工人更有效率, 因而更有价值, 而自动化则使他们变得多余, 因而没有价值。）”可推知, 根据 A. J. Hayes 的说法, 自动化是一个可能导致人们失去价值的革命性力量。故选C。
34. D。根据倒数第二段中“S far, autmatin has neither liberated us frm the need t wrk nr deprived us f the pprtunity t wrk. Instead, we're wrking mre than ever.（到目前为止, 自动化既没有把我们从工作的需要中解放出来, 也没有剥夺我们工作的机会。相反, 我们比以往任何时候都更加努力。）”可推知选 D。
35. B。根据最后一段中“Replacing the scientist will presumably be a little harder than replacing the lab technician, but when a machine exhibits enugh curisity and tenacity, I think we'll just have t welcme it as a cmpanin in zealus research.（取代科学家可能会比取代实验室技术员更难一些, 但当一台机器表现出足够的好奇心和韧劲时, 我认为我们只能欢迎它作为热情研究的伙伴。）”可推知, 在发展中应合理接受自动化。故选 B。
36.F。赞扬他人就是要表达出你欣赏他人的地方，由此可判断选F项。
37.C。前文提到给你在乎的人一个拥抱，此处指你的拥抱会使他们的内心感到温暖，C项中的This指hug，故选C项。
38.G。前文提到要记住那些对别人重要的日子, 此处应具体举例说明在那些日子里做什么并不重要, 重要的是你的行为使别人觉得你认为他们重要。由此可判断选G项。
39.B。据本段中的“yet if the ther persn is really crazy abut it, take sme time t try it”可推断，此处是建议做他们喜欢做的事，故选B项。

The students tk ver windw seats, waiting fr the cming f the ak tree. Then Brunswick was ten miles, and then five. All the peple pened their eyes wide, waiting fr a miracle.

All the students culdn’t hld back their excitement, shuting, crying, ding small dances r shaking fists in triumph. As the students remained thrilled, Ving slwly rse frm his seat, hlding himself tightly, and made his way t the frnt dr f the bus.
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了几个高中生前往劳德代尔堡的路上注意到坐在他们前面的一个男人，他目不转睛地盯着手里的照片，陷入了一种个人的沉默之中。学生们开始对他产生了疑问，试图想象他的生活，男人告诉学生自己在纽约的监狱里呆了四年，现在他要回家了，他在信中告诉妻子如果她愿意让自己回去，她就在树上挂一块黄手帕，男人就下车和她一起回家。如果她不接受男人，就不挂手绢，男人就继续走下去。最后他们看到橡树上挂满了黄色的手帕。
