B
At the age of seven, while his friends were spending their allowances on candy and toys，Jose Adolfo Quisocola, Peru，came up with the creative idea of an eco-bank which allows kids of all ages to become economically independent and financially wise while helping the environment.
Established in 2012, The Bartselana Student Bank is the world’s first cooperative bank for kids. Whoever wants to join has to bring in at least 5 kilograms (11 pounds) of solid waste (paper or plastic) and establish a savings goal. Once accepted, all bank “partners” are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram (2* 2 pounds) of recydables on a monthly basis and obey other requirements, such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops. The waste accumulated is sold to local recycling companies, who, thanks to some clever negotiation by Jose, pay a higher-than-market rate for everything brought in by Bartselana Student Bank members. The funds received are placed in the individual’s account where they collect until his/her savings goal is reached. The account holder can then withdraw his/her money, or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger target.
“At the beginning, my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project,n Jose recalls. “They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present. Luckily, I had the support of the school principal and an assistant in my classroom.
The youngster’s persistence paid off. Today, the eco-bank, which now has the support of several local institutions, has ten educational centers and begins accepting applications from kids all across Peru. On November 20,2018, the young boy was awarded the famous Children’s Climate Prize (CCP). “Jose’s eco-bank is a brilliant way of linking economy and climate impact，both in thought and practice. The potential impact is amazing”，a judge said.
Hopefully, Jose’s success will inspire more kids and adults to come up with new ideas that create value while helping the environment. As the boy says, “Together we can change the world. we just need an opportunity.”
41. For what purpose was the eco-bank created?
A. To educate children how to spend their allowances.
B. To help children break away from their parents.
C. To raise children’s awareness of money and environment
D. To encourage children to buy whatever they want.
42. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The history of the eco-bank
B. The requirements of membership,
C. The wisest way to deal with waste
D. The process of how the eco-bank works.
43. What challenge did Jose meet at the beginning when opening the eco-bank?
A. Lack of enough support B. Lack of experience
C. Lack of investment D. Lack of workers
44. What can we learn from the last two Paragraphs?
A. The boy’s efforts were made in vain.
B. The eco-bank was highly appreciated.
C. The judge thought poorly of the eco-bank.
D. The boy’s success had no practical values.
45. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Persistence Paid Off
B. Recycling does Count
C. An Opportunity to Change the World.
D. An Eco-bank, Economical and Ecological
【答案】41. C 42. D 43. A 44. B 45. D

The potential impact is amazing”可知，生态银行无论是在想法还是实际上都是一种将经济和气候影响联系起来的杰出方式，它的潜在影响是惊人的；在根据最后一段中的“Hopefully, Jose’s success will inspire more kids and adults to come up with new ideas that create value while helping the environment”可知，Jose的成功有望激励更多的孩子和成人在帮助环境的同时创造价值，由此可知，Jose的生态银行得到了高度的赞赏，故B项正确。

【点睛】文章标题形式的主旨大意题的难度较大，需要短短几个词具有高度的概括性，因此把握主题句的关键词尤为重要，例如本篇第5题，根据第一段中的“came up with the creative idea of an eco-bank which allows kids of all ages to become economically independent and financially wise while helping the environment.”可知，本文主要讲述了12岁的秘鲁男孩成立一家生态银行，这家银行让所有年龄的孩子既能在经济上变得独立和明智，也能对环境有所帮助，因此标题中一定要突出这家银行是经济的和生态的这两个特点，故D项（一家经济、生态的银行）最适合做文章标题。

C
Hacking isn’t just for computers and smart phones. According to a study, scientists have found a way to hack a plant’s genes in order to make it use sunlight more quickly. Someday, the results could increase the number of food produced around the world.
Scientists used tobacco plants in the study because it is easy to change the plants’ genes. Hacked plants are larger than normal plants.
Photosynthesis is the word used to describe how plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to make their own food. Scientists say this is a very slow process. Plants use less than 1 percent of the energy. But by hacking a plant’s genes, the scientists were able to increase the amount of leaf growth on plants between 14 and 20 percent. Scientists hacked the plant’s protective system. Normally, this system starts when a plant gets too much sunlight When the plant senses the light, it creates more leaves. When the plant is in shade, the protective system is turned off. But the process is slow.
The new study sped up the process by changing the plant’s genes, the protective system turned on and off more quickly than normal. As a result, leaf growth on the plants scientists used in the study increased. Leaf growth on two plants increased by 20 percent, while leaf growth on a third plant increased by 14 percent. Scientists conducted the study on tobacco plants. But they think the genetic changes would produce the same results in corn and rice.
Agriculture professor Tala Awanda said the study makes sense，but cautioned the yield（产量）might not be quite so high for conventional food crops. Still，she added in an email,” this study remains a breakthrough,”

”
【点睛】关于观点态度的推理判断题难度较大，理解人物在文中说的话是关键，例如本篇第5题，根据最后一段中的“the study makes sense，but cautioned the yield（产量）might not be quite so high for conventional food crops. Still，she added in an email,” this study remains a breakthrough,”可知，Awanda说这个研究很有意义，但她警告说对传统农作物来说，产量可能不会那么高，最后她还说不管怎样，这项研究仍是一个突破，Awanda既肯定了这项研究的积极方面又提到了不足，由此可知，Awanda对这项研究持客观态度，故C项正确。

Being attractive isn’t usually considered much of a disadvantage in today’s world. Actually, there is the endless potential benefit about it, but researchers have found one area that being pretty makes life a challenge securing yourself a boring, low- paying job.
This stands in contrast to a large body of research that attractiveness, in general, helps candidates in the selection process. For the most part good looks is a blessing. We treat pretty people more favorably in general，often vote for them more in elections，and pay them more in their professions. The research suggests that attractive people may be discriminated against in selection for relatively less desirable jobs.
Researchers carried out four experiments involving more than 750 participants， including university students and managers who make hiring decisions in the real world. Participants were shown photos of two potential job candidates，one attractive and the other unattractive. Participants were then asked a series of questions designed to measure their opinions of the job candidates and whether they would hire these candidates for a less-than-desirable job.
The less desirable jobs included a warehouse worker, housekeeper, customer service representative and the more desirable jobs included things like a manager, project director, IT elite（精英）.In all experiments where they were asked, participants were significantly less likely to hire the attractive candidate for the less desirable job and more likely to hire the attractive candidate for the more desirable job.
Ms Lee said, “In the selection decision for an undesirable job, decision makers were more likely to choose the unattractive individual over the attractive individual. Co-author Dr Madan Pillutla said, “It is interesting that decision makers consider others' opinions in their decisions. They thought that attractive individuals would want better outcomes, and therefore would be less satisfied, so they favored unattractive candidates when selecting for a less desirable job.”
The research also suggests the established view that attractive candidates are favored when applying for jobs might be limited to high-level jobs.
51. What do people generally think of being attractive?
A. It is a disadvantage.
B. It is a blessing.
C. it is not important.
D. It has nothing to do with jobs.
52. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The participants of the experiment
B. The importance of the experiment
C. The process of the experiment
D. The result of the experiment.
53. An ordinary-looking graduate may have an advantage when applying for____.
A. a manager
B. a project director
C. a warehouse worker
D. an IT elite
54. Why are less attractive applicants preferred for less desirable jobs?
A. Because they are more hardworking.
B. Because they will be more satisfied.
C. Because they have no requirements at all.
D. Because they will want better outcomes.
55. Which of the following agrees with the research?
A. Attractive people are more fit for high-level jobs.
B. Less attractive people are easy to find high-level jobs.
C. Attractive people can always be hired when applying for jobs.
D. Less attractive people can easily get highly paid if they work hard.
【答案】51. B 52. C 53. C 54. B 55. A
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文，介绍了吸引力和求职之间的关系。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For the most part good looks is a blessing.”可知，在很大程度上，美貌是一种福气，由此可知，人们普遍认为有吸引力是一种福气，故B项正确。
【52题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段内容，特别是“Participants were shown photos of two potential job candidates，one attractive and the other unattractive.”可知，本段主要介绍了研究人员对吸引力和求职之间的关系的实验过程，故C项正确。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The less desirable jobs included a warehouse worker, housekeeper, customer service representative”及“participants were significantly less likely to hire the attractive candidate for the less desirable job”可知，参与者不太可能雇有吸引力的人做不那么理想的工作，而仓库管理员是不理想的工作之一，由此可知，长相一般的人在申请仓库管理员职位上有优势，故C项正确。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“They thought that attractive individuals would want better outcomes, and therefore would be less satisfied, so they favored unattractive candidates when selecting for a less desirable job.”可知，有吸引力的人希望更好的结果，因此不太容易满足，所以参与者在选择不那么理想的工作时更喜欢长相一般的候选人，由此可知，长相一般的人更喜欢不那么理想的工作是因为他们更容易满足，故B项正确。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The research also suggests the established view that attractive candidates are favored when applying for jobs might be limited to high-level jobs.”可知，有吸引力的求职者更受青睐的观点可能仅限于高层职位，由此可知，有吸引力的人更适合高层工作与研究结果相符合，故A项正确。
【点睛】推理判断题的难度在于要根据文章的已知信息进行合乎逻辑的推断，切不可凭借主观臆断，例如本篇第3题，根据第四段中的“The less desirable jobs included a warehouse worker, housekeeper, customer service representative and the more desirable jobs included things like a manager, project director, IT elite”可知，不那么令人满意的工作包括仓库管理员、管家以及客服代表，更理想的工作包括经理、项目总监以及IT精英，再结合“participants were significantly less likely to hire the attractive candidate for the less desirable job”可知，参与者不太可能雇有吸引力的人做不那么理想的工作，也就是更可能会雇没有吸引力的人做不那么理想的工作，而仓库管理员是不理想的工作之一，由此可知，长相一般的人在申请仓库管理员职位上有优势。

At the age of forty-five, my usually well-ordered life became full of changes. After twenty-two years of working in a bank, a plan to use less staff led to the unemployment of over one hundred people. Unluckily，was one of them.
My once secure future became uncertain. However, I was not a single parent, so the family did not depend only on my income and my husband can support the family. My motto has always been，“Change is good; change is progress, but when it affected my livelihood, I had to change it “Accept change and make the most of it.” From the beginning, 1 chose to look at this matter not as bad luck, but as a welcome chance. I refused to become sorry; instead, I actively planned to do something new and different.
Having a positive attitude made all the difference in the way I pursued the future. First, I decided to return to college and graduate many years later than I should have. Doing this at my age took more than a little courage. Not being a graduate had never held me back in my career in the bank, but now it a personal goal I longed to achieve. With a lot of determination, I went to evening classes and became an adult student. In the class, I became more and more confident. During this time，I realized that no matter what life throws in our way, nothing can hinder our personal growth.
The second thing I did to improve my inner self was to reevaluate my past life. It used to be filled with endless，and sometimes meaningless events. But now, my heart and life are completely around people I care for.
The loss of my job led to some positive changes in my life. Revisiting the past made room for the future. I realize that I have accepted the change, and am making the most of it.
