He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport. He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one. Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husbands name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath.  My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents(文件). Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend. That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way. 24. What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A. Go shoppingB. Find a houseC. Join his familyD. Take a vacation25.

But a simple and attract way to cut energy costs, improve air quality, and ensure public health is to grow a garden in the sky. Each time a city building is set up, the grass in that spot and trees that once reached up to the sky are replaced by a layer of asphalt or a tar roof(一层沥青或柏油房顶). The lost green space can have a very real effect on a city's air temperature，air quality，and energy costs. On a summer day in most American cities，a tar roof can feel like the inside of an oven(火炉)But what if we could replace the hot roof of each skyscraper or building in a city with grass or a garden? Whether it holds vegetable gardens，wildflowers，or grasses，a green roof can lower the temperature above a building by 60 degrees，which can reduce the building's energy costs and，if used more widely，could decrease a city's total energy costs，and improve air quality and public health. But thats not allgreen roofs are a great way to handle water management in urban areas by taking in much rainfall，provide shelters for urban wildlife，and actually extend the life of the roof itself. And green roofs also do something else：they beautify the citywhether you're on the 3rd floor or the 30th. Now that's a brilliant achievement. The nonprofit group Earth Pledge is promoting a Green Roofs Program. To learn more about a green roof，just click here：EarthP28. What can you learn from the article? A. Green roofs will take the place of all asphalt or tar ones. B. The Earth Pledge may be an environmental organization. C. It's better to live on the top floor because of the green roofs. D. Green roofs can take in all rainfall. 29. Which section of a website does this passage belong to? A. Science. B. Entertainment. C. Environment. D. Education.30. What do you think the article will talk about if the passage continues? A. How to create a green roof. B. The duty of the Earth Pledge. C. The benefits of green roofs. D. What to do with city pollution. 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入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。You often find somebody who works around you complaining all the time, dont you?    31    About 70% of Americans say being around nonstop complainers sometimes has a bad influence on them. Luckily, here are 4 tips to help form positive patterns.    1. Self-awareness     When a negative thought pops into your mind, immediately correct it. Instead of telling yourself “Thats a nice shirt, but I cant afford it,” change the message to “That will look great with my black pants when I can afford it.”   32   Of course, everyone complains sometimes. But the less frequently you complain, the better you will feel.    2. Distance yourself  33    Excuse yourself and go somewhere quiet, somewhere outdoors in the fresh air. Think of something pleasant before returning. You have to take this seriously because negative people can and will pull you into the quicksand（困境）.    3. Dont try to change complainersIf you find yourself trapped in a group of complainers in a meeting or at a social event, just choose silence. Let their words bounce off you while you think of something else. Attempting to stop the complaining can make you a target.    34   If someone says, “I hate Mondays, weekends are too short,” try to think, “Im glad I rested up over the weekend, so Im ready to make some improvement on that big project.”    4.   35  When someone is shouting at you angrily, throw the responsibility back at them by asking, “So what do you intend to do about it?” In most cases, complainers dont really want a solution. They just want to speak them out. If you make them aware that they themselves have to find the solutions, they will leave you alone and find someone else to complain to. If so, you will be happy.     A. Find solutions    B. Change responsibility    C. You have got a lot of complaint.    D. By doing this, it will lead to positive behaviors.E. But you can redirect the complaint in your own mind.    F. Whenever possible, escape from negative conversations.    G. You will never know what they are going to talk about.第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分45）第一节完形填空（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，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I was having my dinner at McDonalds one evening when an old couple slowly walked in.

The boy would fall to the grass, 57 (get) up, and without looking back 58 his mother, run as fast as he could as if nothing had happened. When kids fall down, they dont think of the fall as a failure. Instead, they consider 59 as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. While I 60 (touch) by the boys strong mind, I was also touched by the way he ran. With each attempt, he looked so confident and natural. He only wanted to run freely and to do it as 61 (good) as he could. He was just being a childjust being himselfbeing completely in the moment. He never gave up. Each time he 62 (fall), he got himself back up again, as if he knew that falling down was 63 (simple) a part of life. He was not looking for others smiles, or worrying about 64 someone was watching or not. He only wanted to run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I learned a lot from that experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in many 65
