To support these worthy causes, Ashoka provides money for the worlds most promising changemakers seeking to solve (解决) urgent problems and would like to create a world in which every citizen is a changemaker.Drayton believes that anyone can bee an agent for change. The important thing is to simply give yourself permission. If you see a problem that you care about, you can help solve it. The young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy, healthy, contributing adult. In fact It is many young peoples ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions. An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995 in Dhaka, which handled the rubbish problem facing the city ,helped local farmers and provided an ine for poor people there .When Masqsood and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncollected rubbish that lay in Dhakas streets,Attracting tats and disease , they discovered that 80% of it was natural waste . So they educated the poor people in the city to post (把制成堆粪)this waste . They knew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggling with chemical ferntilisers (化肥) which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the soil over the years . At first , they were refused ,but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made , the project took off. In 2009 sales were $14,000.Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious ,practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.72. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?A. Changemakers B. BusinessmenC. Social Conditions D.Rubbish Problem73. The underlined word them in Paragraph 3 probably refers to A. the local farmers B. Masqsood and IftekharC. Drayton and his teamD. the poor people in Dhaka74.

The authors attitude towards Ashokas program can be described as A. changingB. forgivingC. cautiousD. Positive【考点】考察社会生活类阅读【文章大意】本文介绍了一个公益组织Ashoka组织人们和贫穷做斗志，促进教育事业，鼓励人们做小生意，让每个人都成为变化产生的人。并举例进行说明。【答案】A 【试题解析】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段his association, founded by Bill Drayton, has fought poverty (贫穷)and sickness, promoted education and encouraged small businesses. To support these worthy causes, Ashoka provides money for the worlds most promising changemakers可知作者向我们介绍了Ashoka，这个组织和贫穷做斗志，促进教育事业，鼓励人们做小生意，让每个人都成为变化产生的人。接着文章介绍了这个组织所做的一些事情。这个组织才是真正的changemakers。故A项正确。73. 【答案】D 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第三段They knew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggling with chemical ferntilisers (化肥) which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the soil over the years .可知Masqsood和Iftekhar让当地人把垃圾变成肥料，可以解决他们购买化肥的问题，开始的时候人们拒绝了他们。但是当他们知道这样可以挣钱的时候就开始做了。这里的them应该是指当地的穷人。故D正确。74. 【答案】C 【试题解析】推理题。根据第二段前三行The important thing is to simply give yourself permission. If you see a problem that you care about, you can help solve it. The young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy, healthy, contributing adult. In fact It is many young peoples ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions.可知只要你愿意解决你所关心的问题，只要能够提高社会生活的条件，你就可以成为changemakers。故C正确。75. 【答案】D 【试题解析】推理题。提高文章最后2两段中介绍Ashoka所组织的把垃圾变成肥料获得成功的故事告诉我们作者认为Ashoka的活动是有意义的，所以对它的态度也是积极的。故D正确。【长难句解析】You may not have heard of Ashoka, but for the past 27 years,this association, founded by Bill Drayton, has fought poverty (贫穷)and sickness, promoted education and encouraged small businesses.【翻译】你也许没有听说过Ashoka，但是在过去的27年里，这个由Bill Drayton成立的组织一直都在和贫穷和疾病做斗志，促进教育和鼓励人们做小生意。【分析】本句较长，句中时间状语for the past 27 years通常都是和现在完成时连用。另外句中的过去分词短语founded by Bill Drayton做定语修饰前面的名词association，因为两者之间构成被动关系，所以使用过去分词的形式，相当于定语从句which was association.三、Choosing the Right Resolution (决定) Millions of Americans began 2014 with the same resolution they started 2013 with, a goal of losing weight. However, setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake. To reach our goal of losing weight - the output, we need to control what we eat - the input ( 输入). That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construce goals. The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input. Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution: “Ill stop having desert for lunch,” or “Ill walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the oute. Recently a new science behind incentives (激励) , including in education, has been discussed. For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input, like reading certain books, while in others, the incentives were based on output, like results on exams. His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect on output. Fryers conclusion was that the intensives for inputs might be more effective because do not knoe how to do better on exam, aside from general rules like “study harder.” Reading certain books, on the other hand, is a well-set task over which they have much more control. As long as you have direct control over your goal, you have a much higher chance of success. And its easier to start again if you fail, because you know exactly what you need to do. If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe, for example. This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isnt a goal because its too general. Similarly, if you want to spend more time with your family, dont stop with this general wish. Think about an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday. In the long run, these new goals could bee a habit.63. The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because _ .A. it is hard to achieve for most AmericansB. it is focused too much on the resultC. it is dependent on too many thingsD. it is based on actionable decisions64. In Roland Fryers research, some students did better than the others because _ .A. they obeyed all the general rulesB. they paid more attention to examsC. they were motivated by their classmatesD. they were rewarded for reading some books65. According to the writer, which of the following statements is a good goal?A. “Ill give up desert.” B. “Ill study harder.”C. “Ill cut down my expense”D. “Ill spend more time with my family”66. The writer strongly believes that we should _ .A. develop good habits and focus on the outeB. be optimistic about final goals and stick to themC. pick specific actions that can be turned into good habitsD. set ambitious goals that can balance the input ang output【考点】考察社会生活类阅读【文章大意】人们总是为自己的减肥设立目标，但是又总是无法成功。作者告诉我们那是愿望我们只关注了输出，而忽视了输入的影响。同时作者还通过实验告诉我们要养成采取行动的习惯。63. 【答案】B 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第二段1,2行To reach our goal of losing weight - the output, we need to control what we eat - the input ( 输入). That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input.可知为了实现我们减肥的目的，我们需要控制我们的输入，而不是只关注结果（输出）。这就是我们只为自己设立减肥的目标的错误所在：只注意结果。故B正确。64. 【答案】D 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第三段4,5行His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect on output.可知当以输入为基础的时候，激励会有很好的结果。再根据第三段2,3行In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input, like reading certain books可知针对输入的激励是让他们读书。故D项说法：奖励他们读书是有效的。故D正确。65. 【答案】A 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第二段可知要想减肥，很重要的是控制住我们的输入。选项里的A项：“Ill give up desert.” 我将放弃甜点。这就属于控制输入。故A正确。66. 【答案】C 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章倒数第二段最后一句Think about an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday.可知作者建议我们快乐那些我们能够采纳也能够坚持的行动习惯。也就是说作者认为我们要采取一些能够成为习惯的行动。故C正确。【长难句解析】To reach our goal of losing weight - the output, we need to control what we eat - the input ( 输入).【翻译】为了实现我们减肥的目标输出，我们需要控制我们吃的东西输入。【分析】本句中的不定式to reach our goal of losing weight在句中充当的是目的状语，后面的主句中有一个动词control的宾语从句what we eat，what引导起这个宾语从句，并在句中充当eat的宾语。
