Tom felt pleased to get a role for the
school play. It wasn’t a
16
role; after all, this was
only
his first year at high school. It
just felt good to be in the play, even if he had
only four or five lines.
“Do
them in front of a mirror,” his drama teacher had
advised him. “Watch how you look;
17
as
often as you can.” Tom did just that.
He worked and worked at it. It was fun
and exciting rehearsing(
排练
).
He
18
the time with
other
students. Then finally the big night
came.
However,
things
felt
19
.
The
theater
was
full
of
people.
He
could
hear
the
noises
of
the
audience.
He
looked
around
at
other
experienced
actors
and
found
the
20
they’d
shown
at
rehearsal seemed to have disappeared.
Had they got their makeup right? What if they
forgot their lines?
They talked about
their
21
and the whole of the backstage area
seemed to be buzzing with tension
and
worry.
When, suddenly, Tom
heard his cue(
提示
) and went
on the stage. The lights were bright in his eyes;
he
couldn’t
22
the audience but knew there
were hundreds of people out there all watching
him. The
23
that had flowed so easily didn’t want
to come and when they did he found himself
hurrying into
them. He tried to
24
down his thoughts and his words but,
thinking about doing that, he suddenly
realized he had
25
a sentence. What should he
do? Go back and start from the beginning? Try and

it and go on as though nothing had
happened?
He chose to carry
on, but when he finished and left the stage his
hands felt sweaty and his heart was
racing. He didn’t think about what he
had
27
—performing his first solo part in a
major production.
Instead he was
28
himself up for the sentence that he’d
missed.
The audience, of
course, didn’t know he had missed a sentence. They
made no sounds of laughter at
his
29
.
His
fellow
actors,
after
the
play
had
finished,
were
so
busy
talking
about
their
own
performances that no one
30
on Tom’s missed
sentence—apart from his drama teacher.

“Well done,” she said. “Acting is a
like learning to ride a bike. You may fall off a
few times,
31
each
time
you
get
back
on
you
do
it
better.
Your
performance
may
not
have
been
32
but, for your first time, it was
great.”
Tom felt
33
. It seemed like his
teacher was saying it is okay to learn. You don’t
have to be
perfect, especially when you
start something
34
.
Tom
caught
the
look
of
his
face
in
a
mirror.
It
was
smiling
back
at
him
with
a
sense
of

Your First
-
aid
Travel Kit
When you hit the
road, all you want to think about is freedom and
good times. But wherever you go,
accidents can happen. The more prepared
you are, the better you’ll deal with any
emergencies that might
3
occur.
What to take—the basics
What
you
carry
in
your
first
-
aid
kit
can
depend
on
where
you’re
going;
you
won’t
need
snakebite
antivenom in the Arctic, for example.
Think about the places you’ll be visiting before
you pack. Painkillers
such as aspirin
are a necessity for everything from headache to
fever.
Carry
a
thermometer—one
that
works
in
the
ear
is
probably
best.
Although
you
should
have
sunscreen
with
you
anyway,
put
some
in
your
kit,
just
in
case.
Simple
things
like
allergy
medicine
can
prevent
a
lot
of
discomfort.
Keep
medicated
lotions(
乳液
)
on
hand
for
cuts,
painful
sunburn,
and
insect
bites.
Finally, don’t forget your mobile phone
to call for help if you really need it. Remember
to charge it
and top up with credit. Or
bring a phone card and some change. That way, in
the event of an emergency
you can’t
handle, you can call for help.
Think ahead
Think
about
where
you’re
going.
Many
possible
problems
can
be
avoided
before
leaving
home.
If
you’re going abroad, for instance, have
any immunizations(
免疫接种
)
needed for that country. If you are
taking medicine, ensure you have enough
to last throughout your trip.
You can buy
pre
-
packaged
first
-
aid kits, and they
certainly have their place. But remember, the
needs
of each traveller are different.
Buying piece
-
by
-<
/p>
piece means that you’ll have exactly
what you want. Your
kit
might
take
up
a
little
room
on
the
trip,
but
the
first
time
you
need
it
you’ll
understand
just
how
worthwhile it is.
36. The author highly recommends a
first
-
aid kit because
.
A. they are
required by law
B. you can know where
you’re going on a trip
C. unexpected injuries can easily occur
D. they give
you more freedom when travelling
37. You should phone emergency services
.
A. to check
you are in the right place
B. to make sure they can help if
needed
C. when you don’t
have a first
-
aid book at
hand
D. when you don’t know
how to deal with an emergency
38. According to the author, you should
always take a first
-
aid kit
.
A. even if it
takes up some space in your luggage
B. as long as you’ve bought one
pre
-
packaged
C. when you have any immunizations
D. if you aren’t in very
good health

A Bountiful Billboard
4
Lima, the
capital city of the South American country of
Peru, is located in the Sechura Desert. This
desert region is one of the driest in
the world and receives almost no rainfall. Yet
more than eight million
people live in
Lima. Because of the lack of water, one out of
every 10 residents has no access to running
water. Some people depend on private
companies to deliver water to their homes and
businesses.
The engineers
at the University of Engineering and Technology of
Peru (UTEC) thought about how
Lima’s
extreme water shortage problem could be solved.
They noticed that even though the
re was
little
rainfall in Lima, the
humidity(
湿度
)
was
high. Due to the city’s coastal location, humidity
can be higher
than 90 percent on summer
days. The engineers wondered whether they could
make use of the moisture in
the air.
The staff at the university realized
that this project, while
helping
the
residents
of
Lima,
could
also
show
the
public
UTEC’s engineering program. Thus they
formed a partnership
the
advertising
agency
Mayo
DraftFCB.
The
two
groups
created
an
advertisement
to
demonstrate
the
university’s
engineering
projects.
They
made
a
billboard
that
obtained
moisture from the air and turned it
into drinkable water.
The
engineers used the city’s power lin
es
to provide electricity to five
condensers(
冷凝器
) that operate
within the billboard. The condensers
are cooler than the outside air. When air comes in
contact with the
condensers, it cools.
The water vapor in the air condenses, becoming
liquid water. The water then flows
through pipes into a storage tank at
the foot of the billboard. People can access the
water through a tap.
Now
the billboard produces 96 liters of water a day.
This can supply hundreds of families with water
each month. Additionally, UTEC recorded
a 28 percent increase of new students since the
construction of
the
billboard.
The
problem-solving
billboard
has
inspired
more
young
people
to
choose
engineering
careers. They want to be part of
productive, clever solutions to unresolved
problems.
39.
The engineers decided on a billboard project
because
.
A. it served a double
purpose
B. it could deliver water
to homes
C. it could produce more clean water
D.
it was the best equipment for condensers
40. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Engineering
in Peru is quite underdeveloped.
B. Advertising industry in
Peru is very successful.
C. The result of the project is beyond
their expectation.
D. Billboard is most important in
obtaining water in deserts.
41. We know
from the last paragraph that some students in Peru
.
A.
are interested in billboard advertisement design
5
with
B.
want to be devoted to working on practical
problems
C. tend to follow the trend
when choosing their majors
D. are often confused about making a
decision on careers
42. The passage is
intended to
.
A. show that
water shortage is a major problem in Peru
B. explain the process of
turning moisture into drinkable water
C. prove that billboards are an
effective way to advertise products
D. tell about a project creating an
interesting solution to a problem
C
Shipping
containers are used to carry cargo on ships,
trains, and trucks. Because these trips can be
rough, the containers are used for only
about five to ten years. Then they usually end up
in a junkyard.
However, these
containers are durable, lightweight, and of
relatively low cost, so companies and artists are
finding ways to repurpose them.
One
trend
that
has
gained
popularity
is
creating
houses
from
retired
shipping
containers.
The
containers already have
the basic elements we think of when we imagine
shelter: four walls, a ceiling, a
floor, and a door. It is truly amazing
what interior designers and architects can do to
maximize the layout
of these containers
in order to add comfort to the cold metal
interiors. With features like solar panels and
sliding glass walls, the repurposed
homes are an environmentally smart practice.
Like building blocks, shipping
containers can be used to create multilevel
structures. By cutting out
hallways,
offices and even hotels are being built from these
recycled containers. Urban areas and colleges
that
struggle
to
provide
affordable
housing
have
also
begun
to
explore
building
container
housing
and
work
spaces. In London a container “city” was created
in 2001 in just
months using more than
80 percent recycled materials from shipping
containers.
It
was
so
successful
that
the
following
year,
the
city
of
London
created
another
multipurpose
structure
that
was
five
stories
Housing
uses
for
shipping
containers
are
not
limited
to
cities.
Shipping
container
accommodations
are
available
in
rural
areas
as
well.
From
hideaway
cabins
to
campground rentals, these
versatile accommodations can be found in the city
and in remote areas.
Sculpture artists from all over the
world have also found value in repurposing
shipping containers.
Artists rework the
shell of the containers. Whether welding the
panels into new shapes or using them as
metal
canvases,
artists
have
found
that
the
possibilities
are
endless.
The
Container
Art
Project
was
established by innovative artists to
help museums share artistic collections around the
world. In addition to
using the retired
containers to move art pieces, the project has
also used the interior of the containers as the
setting for the galleries themselves.
With all these options and
new purposes, fewer shipping containers will be
headed to the junkyard.
They are having
their usefulness extended with new forms and
function. 386

43. What can we
infer about building houses with shipping
containers?
A. It is cold inside these
houses.
B. The houses are low and
small.
C. Interior design plays an
important part.
D. Recycled materials
improve the comfort.
44. What makes
shipping containers good for new purposes?
A. They are recycled and lasting.
B. They are inexpensive and rough.
C. They look modern and
splendid.
D. They look firm and close
to nature.
45. What is the main idea of
Paragraph 5?
A. Moving art
pieces in shipping containers are simple
processes.
B. Artists must
reshape the shell of the container to make
sculptures.
C. Artists see the
potential of using shipping containers into their
art.
D. Museums are using
the containers as galleries for their collections.
46. What is the best title
for the passage?
A. Getting

C. Keeping up with

The
Power of Young People to Change the World
T
oday’s young
people’
s three big wishes would be:
More hugs. More time outside in nature.
More
belief in their own
power to change the world. While most people
understand the importance of the first
two wishes, the third one leaves some
folks wondering why this is so essential.
Let’s start with the
fact
that all of us
—
especially
young people
—
need heroes. We
need them to be
our guides on the
twisting and to show us just how far we can go. We
need heroes today more than ever, as
our
modern
society
is
terribly
confused
about
the
difference
between
a
hero
and
a
celebrity(
名人
).
A
celebrity is all about
fame
—
temporary, superficial
fame while a hero is about
character
—
qualities beneath
the surface that aren’t visible until
they
take action.
Real
heroes
are
all
around
us.
They
hold
our
world
together,
through
their
unselfish
devotion
to
helping others,
supporting families, teaching children, protecting
the environment. They don’t want fame
or glory; they just want to help. In
many ways, these unsung heroes direct the boat in
which all of us sail.
