I chose December 15 as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease. She was one of the most generous people that I have ever known. She always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me.I had a rather busy day yesterday, ironic (具有讽刺意义的) for someone who is unemployed right now. In the morning I went to the gym, and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching. Before I knew it, it was noon. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting. On my way to Connecticut, I wondered if I would see someone that I would feel forced to give my first $ 10 to. I was running late and decided to do it afterwards.After the meeting I had about half an hour to find the first person of my Year of Giving! I decided to check out DuPont Circle. I had met a guy there named Jerry once and thought he would willingly accept my $ 10. He wasnt there, but I did see a man sitting by himself who looked really lonely, so I approached him. Now I had to figure out what I was going to say, I think I said something like, “Hi, can I sit down here?” “I would like to know if I could give you $ 10?” He asked me to repeat what I had said, I did, then he looked at me funny, got up and left.I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on Connecticut Ave. He appeared to be in his 60s. I dont know what drew me to him, but I thought I would make my second attempt. I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. Then I explained that I was starting a year-long project to give $ 10 to someone every day and that I wanted to give my $ 10 for today to him. The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him. This was exactly one of the things that I hoped would happen. People would think of others before themselves. 24. The author set the starting date on December 15 to _.A. help the charityB. remember his mother C. make an explosionD. fulfill a wish of his mum 25. In the authors first attempt to give away the money, _.A. he was considered ridiculousB. he hesitated for a long time C. he was forced to donate the moneyD. he had no time to take action 26. In the authors second attempt, the gentleman refused his offer because _.A. he didnt need others helpB. he thought more for others C. he didnt care about moneyD. he wanted to get more money 27. We can infer that the author was inspired by _.A. true friendshipB. his own kindness C. generous donationsD. humans good natureCJoseph Francis Charles Rock (18841962) was an Austrian-American explorer, botanist, and anthropologist(人类学家). For more than 25 years, he travelled extensively through Tibet and Yunnan, Gansu, and Sichuan provinces in China before finally leaving in 1949.In 1924, Harvard sent Joseph Francis Rock on a treasure hunt through Chinas southwestern provincesthe Wild West of their day. But gold and silver werent his task : Rock, a distinguished botanist, sought only to fill his bags with all the seeds, saplings, and shrubs he could find. During his three-year expedition, he collected 20,000 specimens for the Arnold Arboretum(阿诺德植物园).Botany, though, was just one of Rocks strengths. As an ethnologist(民族学者), he took hundreds of photographs of the Naxi, a tribe in Yunnan province, recording their now-lost way of life for both Harvard and National Geographic, and took notes for an eventual 500-page dictionary of their language. His hand-drawn map of his travels through Chinas “Cho-Ni” territory, in the Harvard Map Collection, includes more than a thousand rivers, towns, and mountains indicated in both English and Chinese, and was so well made that the U.S. government used it to plan aerial missions in World War II.Scientist, linguist, cartographer, photographer, writerRock was not a wallflower in any sense. Arrogant and self-possessed, he would walk into a village or warlords place “as if he owned the place,” said Lisa Pearson, the Arboretums head librarian.In declaring his successful return under the headline “Seeking Strange Flowers, in the Far Reaches of the World,” the Boston Evening Transcript ran a large photo of the daring explorer wearing in a woolly coat and fox-skin hat. “In discussing his heroism including hair-raising escapes from death either from mountain slides, snow slides and robber armies, he waves the idea away as if it is of no importance.”The Arboretum and Rock parted ways after 1927, mainly because his trip cost Harvard a fortuneabout $900,000 in todays dollars. Fortunately, many of his specimens, many of his amazing photos, and his great stories remain.28.What is the passage mainly about?A. Rocks service for the U.S government. B. Rocks cooperation with Harvard.C. Rocks work as a botanist. D.Rocks exploration in Southwest China.29.What contribution did Rock make to the USA besides collecting new plants and specimens?A.

How did Rock respond when people mentioned his heroic deeds?A. Excitedly. B. Proudly. C. Calmly. D. Nervously. 31. What caused Rock to stop work for The Arboretum?A. The vast expense. B. The dangerous journey.C. The challenging tasks. D. The unknown world.DCounterfeitgoods, or false versions of products, may cost the government of Kenya as much as $1 billion each year. The fake goods also hurt business owners who find it hard to keep customers. But information technology is being used to try to stop the problem. Jemima Mwafigu is a 34-year-old businesswoman who sells products like perfume. But in the first year of running her business, she found it hard to keep customers because of counterfeit goods.Ms. Mwafigu says her business has improved since she began using a smart phone application calledBarcode(条码) Scanner. The app is used toauthenticate (验证)products. It checks to make sure the products are not counterfeit. “With this application Im able toscanthe bar codes of each perfume and instantly I get the production date, the expiration date and Im able to know the safety,”she says.“That way, I have confidence in selling to my customers.”In xx, Kenya created the Anti-Counterfeit Agency, or ACA, to fight against illegal trade. The ACA has successfully asked government officials for stronger punishments for counterfeiters.Agnes Karingu is the agencys acting director for research and awareness. She says the ACA is trying to stay one step ahead of those making fake goods.“We are also looking into IT solutions where we can be able to use SMS programs, bar codes and information sharing,” she says. “The end users of the products will actually be able to get the authentication information, and this information es back to ACA and intellectual property rights holders.”The agency is testing another program called Allvirtuous. The application is another way to find out if a product is real or not by scanning its barcode. The barcode information is sent to a database. Then a result is sent back to the app.The International Chamber of merce is a global business organization. It says the value of counterfeit goods produced around the world is expected to be more than $1.7 trillion (万亿) this year.32. Whats the main purpose of this passage?A.

There will also be one brave hero, one beautiful heroine and one baddie. 37 Bollywood films are full of ideal things and free of daily worries. 38 The actors change clothes and locations within a single song. But the audience dont mind. To Indian movie lovers, especially the poor, such films are a gateway to heaven and the stars are their gods.
