The women can give away unwanted clothing at a clothes swap event and get something different in return. Recently about 300 women went to a clothes swap at a high school in Springfield, Virginia. It was the largest crowd ever for the areas popular clothing-swapping group. Daphne Steinberg was having a good day. “For anyone who knows Ann Taylor LOFT, Ann Taylor is a really nice womens designer and I will totally wear this to work. So I love that, I love that I can equip myself for work, have a good time in doing it, not totally bankrupt myself.” Sandy Van Dusen likes the idea that clothes are finding new homes instead of being thrown away. “Because it helps to keep the Earth green. Theres no point in my opinion in continuing to buy new clothes when we can reuse whats already here. Give it a new home let somebody else love what you used to love and no longer love.” Kim Pratt organized the clothing-swapping event in Springfield. She also organized a money-raising activity for the high schools debate team. It is one of several ways that her group gives to charitable causes. Another is by donating all of the “un-swapped” clothing to shelters for victims of domestic violence. “I started doing this four years ago, and weve been doing it for four years, getting bigger and bigger each time we have a swap.” She used the social media website meetup. to help publicize the events. The website has helped her group grow from 30 members to 1300. Mrs.Pratt says most of the members respect the clothing swap rules. But she say petition for desirable fashion can be strong. “We have to tell people sometimes not to hover over the new people ing in with their clothing. As they put it out, some people tend to grab the stuff right out of their hands and it bees like a free-for-all. We try to avoid that as much as possible.”25.At a clothes swap women what can women do?A.make some money by giving away unwanted clothingB.buy whatever clothing they likeC.have a social gathering and make friendsD.exchange unwanted clothing for something different26.What can be learnt from what Daphne Steinberg said?A.she got some nice clothes at the clothes swap B.the clothes swap was the largest ever in the areaC.it was the first time she had been to a clothes swapD.she saved much less money than she had expected27.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A.How Kim Pratt started the clothing-swapping event.B.What Kim Pratt did with the un-swapped clothes.C.How Kim Pratt raised money to help charitable causes.D.What Kim Pratt did to help people in need.28.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.clothes swaps often go out of control in the endB.clothes-swapping is being increasingly popular with womenC.Improper behavior at clothes swaps needs to be controlledD.more clothing swapping events need to be organized C Mass munication has been growing and affecting the way munities and people behave. At every stage of the development of munication, from the telegraph to the Internet, societies have had to adapt to its effects. But have the effects been more positive or negative?The saying “knowledge is power” has been an excellent motivator for people to improve their lives, but today the massive amount of information available through the Internet doesnt always seem to be helping people in the way wed hoped. Rather than improving peoples lives and bringing us closer together, the information age is making us more divided and irresponsible.Nevertheless, many people find fort in their virtual (虚拟的) worlds and are happy to connect with real-life friends and online friends from the familiar surroundings of their living rooms. However, being able to reinvent themselves online and be whoever they want to be leads to the question of whether they are losing their identities by living in a virtual world. Its not all bad news, however. Mass munication has helped change some attitudes for the better. Take our views on the environment for example. Internet campaigns by governments and other organizations have helped popularize the ideas of recycling, protecting wildlife and reducing pollution.Modern electronic munication now influences every aspect of our lives - it is a powerful tool that has raised some concerns for society. However, it has also brought countless benefits to society. At the end of the day, it can be used both for good or evil, which largely relies on the morals and sense of responsibility of the individual or munity involved. In short, it needs to be used with care.29.According to the text, the information age today _.A.helps people improve their livesB.fully shows Knowledge is powerC.makes people feel more connected to othersD.fails to achieve our expectations sometimes30.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A.People only connect with online friends.B.Online friends can be forting for all people.C.Virtual lives can make people clear of who they are.D.The Internet helps to raise our environmental awareness.31.What is the writers attitude to electronic munication in the last paragraph?A.It should be used in a cautious way.B.It does more harm than good to society.C.Its side effects cant be handled by individuals.D.It should be strictly controlled by the government.32.What does the text mainly talk about?A.The fort of the virtual worlds. B.The effects of mass munication.C.The development of mass munication.D.The way to use modern mass munication. D The Indian government may use 3D paintings as virtual speed breakers(减速带) on major highways and roads, in order to check speeding and careless driving, and finally make its deadly roads a little safer. We are trying out 3D paintings used as virtual speed breakers to avoid unnecessary requirements of speed breakers, Indias transport minister Nitin Gadkari wrote.The optical illusions(视觉错觉) are supposed to encourage drivers to slow down automatically. Earlier, India had ordered the removal of all speed breakers from highways, which are considered to be a safety hazard for high-speed vehicles. India has the highest number of road accident deaths in the world. According to the World Health Organisation, over xx00 people are killed by road accidents.The use of optical illusions as speed breakers was first pioneered in the American city of Philadelphia in xx, as part of a campaign against speeding motorists. The technique has also been tried out in China to create floating 3D crossings. In India, cities such as Ahmedabad and Chennai have already experimented with 3D zebra crossings in the last one year. In Ahmedabad for instance, a mother and her daughter, both artists, have painted 3D crosswalks in the first few months of xx. The artists say their motto is to increase the attention of drivers, and that the concept has been successfully tested in accident-prone zones on a highway.However, critics argue that once drivers know that these speed breakers are visual illusions, they may ignore them. Others also point out that Indias decision does not consider the safety of a large number of pedestrians. In the end, the new policy may be just one step towards improving road safety.33.Why are 3D paintings used on main highways and roads?A.To make the surroundings more beautiful.B.To attract the attention of tourists.C.To reduce the rate of traffic accidents.D.To show the advanced technology.34.Which of the following words is closest to the meaning of “hazard” in paragraph 2?A.ReminderB.ThreatC.RegulationD.Theory35.What can we learn from Paragraph 3 and 4?A.The use of optical illusions as speed breakers is controversial in India.B.Philadelphia is the second place to use virtual speed breakers in the US.C.The idea tested in Ahmedabad recently has been a failure.D.The new policy of 3D zebra crossings must be carried out. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Team Building Means More Than Throwing a Few People Together Teamworking is found everywhere within just about every organization. You cant get away from teams that are supposed to be able to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts. Or so the theory goes. There are five measures that need to be taken before you can get the most out of a team: mon Goals with Challenging Target _36_. And all the members should realize the value and significance of what they are going to do. What they are hoping to achieve should be something achievable but at the same time tough and inspiring enough to attract the members and keep their motivation alive. What is more, they should also be well prepared for the possible difficulties they may e across in theprocess. Open munication Team members must be able to express their opinions freely without fear of being criticized, and they must have the feeling that their suggestions will be taken seriously. This is an important point because the team may need to resolve some plex issues. _37_.Should they keep their conclusion within the team or share it with other employees? This is an issue in itself that all the members should agree on and honest discussion is required. Respect to All Team Members It is easy to think that a junior team member may have less to contribute than more experienced ones._38_people that have nothing to contribute should not have been selected for the team in the first place. Since they have bee members of your team, you need to make sure that each of them has an opportunity to add his or her thoughts to discussions.Conflict solving _39_. A team made up only of yes men can make disastrous decisions that few people honestly agreed with in the first place. Consequently, there should be rules on how lengthy disagreements should be handled. For example, team meetings may not be the most appropriate place for a discussion that involves only two people, so under-the-table method may be effective.Leadership Most high-performing teams are well organized. A good organizer should be able to play to individuals strengths and help them overe their weaknesses. It should be someone who can act as a promoter and a constant reminder of what the team needs to achieve. He must, above all, be skilled in sharing responsibility and setting tasks to others, coaching them to achieve tasks, and providing constructive feedback on how the tasks went. _40_. It requires much more, but motivating people is most essential. Successful teamworking is not marked by how much progress the team makes toward its goals, but by how confidently each of its members pletes his or her assigned tasks with a sense of achievement and pride.A.For example, it may discuss a sensitive topic B. There must be a clear reason for the team to exist C. This is not only discouraging, it also makes no sense D. Team building isnt as simple as just throwing a few people together E. Group work is usually more productive than working alone F. Choose a role on the team that is best suited to your particular strengthsG. Disagreements are natural and, in fact, debate and discussion should be encouraged.第三节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。It was Mothers Day and I was shopping at the local supermarket with my five-year-old son,Tenyson.
