But this time he felt that it was time for him to take part in his community，so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work.The area city councilwoman was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was on the decline.The neighborhood faced many problems.Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls.There were charts for parking problems， crime，and for problems in empty buildings.Mark read from the charts，“Police patrols cut back, illegal parking up 20%”.People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman. It was too much for Mark.“The problems are too big”， he thought.He turned to the man next to him and said, “I think this is a waste of my time.Nothing I can do would make a difference here.”As he neared the bus stop on his way home, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag, and a baby. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly ran into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted, and groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boys arm and led him back to his mother. “You gotta stay with your mom，”he said.Then he picked up the stray groceries and the woman smiled in relief.“Thanks，”she said，“youve got great timing.”“Just being neighborly，” Mark said.As he rode home, he glanced at the walls of the bus. On one of them was “Small acts of kindness add up.” Mark smiled and thought, “Maybe thats a good place to start.”【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了Mark去参加社区会议时，发现社区里存在很多问题，但他觉得自己对解决这些问题起不了多大作用。在回家的路上，他帮助了一个妇人，这件事情让他改变了自己的态度。24What was being discussed when Mark arrived at the neighborhood meeting？AThe high price of groceries.BThe education problem of children.CThe worsening of the quality of life.DThe housing conditions in the community.C解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“leading a discussion about how the quality of life was on the decline”可知，他们正在讨论生活质量如何下降的问题。特别是下文的一些细节也在暗示着生活质量在变差，如“The neighborhood faced many problems.”“for parking problems，crime，and for problems in empty buildings”“The problems are too big”等都说明了这个问题。故选C。25Whats Marks opinion about the community problems according to the first paragraph?APeople could solve the problems by themselves.BHe didnt have the ability to solve such problems.CHe didnt have enough time to solve the problems.DPeople were too selfish to help others solve the problems.B解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I think this is a waste of my time.Nothing I can do would make a difference here.”可知，Mark认为讨论这件事情是浪费时间的，同时他觉得在这里他不能做什么产生影响的事情，这也就意味着Mark认为他没有能力解决这些问题。故答案为B。26What does the underlined sentence “Small acts of kindness add up.” mean in the last paragraph?AAll small acts will add to kindness.BEveryone should try his best to do good deeds.CAll small kind acts can make people grow up quickly.DEveryone can play his own part to make things better.D解析：句意理解题。根据上文内容可知，Mark帮助了一位邻居，这个小小的友善的行为得到了邻居的感谢。Mark觉得这是一个好的开始，每个人都能做好自己的部分使生活变得更好。故答案为D。27What can we learn from this passage?AMark always played an active part in community activities.BVisual aids were used to display the seriousness of problems.CMany people were discouraged by the problems faced by them.DThe city councilwoman was responsible for the falling of life quality.B解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls.”以及第二段中的“As he rode home，he glanced at the walls of the bus.”可知，视觉上的辅助工具能被用来显示一些问题的严重性。故答案为B。CNew research from Princeton University in New Jersey found something else special about how adultsin this case mothersspeak to their very young children.“We found for the first time that mothers shift their timbre，”said Elise Piazza, a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University. Piazza added，“Timbre is best explained as the unique quality of a sound. Barry Whites silky voice sounds different from Tom Waits poor oneeven if theyre singing the same note.”Using special equipment, Piazza and other Princeton researchers found that mothers shared similar changes in timbre when speaking to babies. The researchers tried to record the sounds mothers used with their babies at home. “We chose to record mothers playing with and reading to their own babies just like they would at home，” Piazza said. She wanted the discussions to be as natural as possible.The research offers new ways to show differences between how adults speak to babies, compared to fellow adults. The research was not limited just to English speakers. Researchers listened to discussions in seven other languages: Mandarin, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Cantonese, German, and French.Piazza said the research provides more information besides what is mentioned above. For example, she said, it could include how people change their timbre when speaking to friends or managers at work; how candidates speak to voters; and how people speak to their boyfriends, girlfriends or spouses (配偶)The Princeton research follows earlier research on baby talk. In 2014, researchers from the University of Washington and University of Connecticut looked at thousands of verbal discussions between parents and babies. They compared regular speaking voices and baby talk. Patricia K. Kuhl, a codirector of the University of Washington, said researchers found that use of baby talk led to better early language development.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项关于成年人如何与非常年幼的孩子说话的研究。28What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2?APeople cant change their sound quality.BBarry White has a better voice than Tom Waits.CPeoples sound quality varies from person to person.DTheir sounds appear differently with the same loudness.C解析：句意理解题。根据第二段中的“Timbre is best explained as the unique quality of a sound.”可知，音色就是指一个声音与众不同的特性，而画线部分是作为一个例子来对其解释的。故选C。29What does the research show according to Paragraph 5?AHow people communicate effectively with others.BHow people speak in different situations.CHow timbre improves in different cases.DHow people express ideas to others.B解析：细节理解题。根据第五段内容可知，除了上面提到的 (即研究发现成人与婴儿说话的方式不同于他们跟成人说话的方式)，这项研究还提供了关于人们如何与朋友或工作场所的管理者说话及候选人如何与投票人说话和人们如何与男朋友、女朋友或配偶说话的信息，即该研究还表明了人们在不同的场合下怎样说话。故选B。30If one more paragraph is added, it should focus on _Ababy talks developmentBexamples of baby talks helpCparents comment on the researchDbaby talks advantages and disadvantagesB解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句中的“researchers found that use of baby talk led to better early language development”可知，接下来应该介绍baby talk对婴儿早期语言发展有利的例子。故选B。31What is the general tone of the author in the passage?AObjective. BSubjective.CDoubtful. DCritical.A解析：观点态度题。通篇文章作者都是以客观的口吻向读者介绍一项新的研究发现，故作者的表述是客观的，故选A。DOn January 13, 2016, France became the first country in the world to pass a law requiring supermarkets to donate food that is approaching its expiration date (保质期) instead of throwing it away. The regulation that applies to supermarkets over 4，000 square feet requires stores to sign official donation agreements with local food banks.The law also makes it illegal for stores to pour water over nearlyexpired food, or store it inside locked warehouses until it is picked up by the garbage trucks. These measures are often undertaken by supermarkets to prevent the hungry from searching for food through the dustbins.Though that may appear cruel, the stores claim they do it to avoid potential food poisoning that could occur if the product is on its way past its expiry. Those who do not obey the new law face the risk of heavy fines.Also, excess goods like yogurt or milk that are likely to go bad quickly are now allowed to be donated directly to the food banks. Though this has always been possible, the current process is long and complex, making it difficult for producers to give away the food in a timely manner.Frances food banks are of course thrilled about the possibility of receiving extra food. Jacques Bailet, who heads a network of French food banks called the Banques Alimentaires, says that of the 110，000 tons of goods received annually, only 36，000 tons come from supermarkets. Bailet estimates (估计) that just a 15% increase in supermarket donations would translate to over 10 million additional meals to feed the hungry each year.Though this is a great first step, Arash Dermabarsh, the activist responsible for the grassroots movement that led to the ban, is not done. He now wants to extend the law to other places like restaurants and also try to convince other countries in the European Union to pass similar regulations. These steps are necessary because of the over 9 million tons of food wasted in France, an astonishing 67% is thrown away by consumers, with supermarkets and restaurants making up the rest.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。法国成为世界上第一个通过法律规定要求超市捐赠接近保质期食物给粮食银行而不是扔掉食物的国家。该规定有效防止了食物浪费。32What should stores do with nearlyexpired food?AThrow it away.BSend it to the hungry.CStore it in refrigerators.DGive it away to food banks.D解析：细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，法国通过的这项法律要求商店必须将即将过期的食品捐献给粮食银行，而不是扔掉，故D项正确。33What does the underlined word “excess” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?AExtra. BCheap.CSeasonal. DReturned.A解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句可知，酸奶或牛奶等可能很快就会变质的这种过多产品现在可以直接捐赠给粮食银行，据此可以判断，画线词意为“额外的，超额的”，故A项正确。B项意为“便宜的”，C项意为“季节性的”，D项意为“退还的”，都与语境不符。34What might Bailet agree with about the French food banks?AThey have a lot of expired food.BThey will get much benefit from the law.CTheir food is enough for the people in need.DTheir food mainly comes from supermarkets.B解析：细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“Frances food banks are of course thrilled about the possibility of receiving extra food.”和最后一句可知，Bailet认为，法国的粮食银行将从这项法律中受益良多，故B项正确。35What does Dermabarsh plan to do?ABuild more food banks in France.BMake the law take effect in more places.CLaunch a campaign to promote this law.DRaise consumers awareness of waste reduction.B解析：细节理解题。根据尾段第二句“He now wants to extend the law to other places like restaurants and also try to convince other countries in the European Union to pass similar regulations.”可知，Arash De
