His disheveled (蓬乱的) appearance was highlighted by a wellworn tweed sport coat and poor-fitting thick glasses, which often rested on the tip of his nose. Every now and then, as most philosophy professors do, he would dig into one of those existential “whats the meaning of life” discussions. Many of those discussions went nowhere, but there were a few that really hit home. This was one of them:“Respond to the following questions by a show of hands,” my professor instructed.“How many of you can tell me something about your parents?” Everyones hand went up.“How many of you can tell me something about your grandparents?” About three-fourths of the class raised their hands.“How many of you can tell me something about your great-grandparents?” Two out of sixty students raised their hands.“Look around the room,” he said. “In just two short generations hardly any of us even know who our own great-grandparents were. Oh sure, maybe we have an old photograph stored away in a musty（发霉的） cigar box or know the classic family story about how one of them walked five miles to school barefoot. But how many of us really know who they were, what they thought, what they were proud of, what they were afraid of, or what they dreamed about? Think about that. Within three generations our ancestors are all but forgotten. Will this happen to you?”“Heres a better question. Look ahead three generations. You are long gone. Instead of you sitting in this room, now its your greatgrandchildren. What will they have to say about you? Will they know about you? Or will you be forgotten, too?”“Is your life going to be a warning or an example? What legacy (遗产) will you leave? The choice is yours. Class is over.”Nobody rose from their seats for a good five minutes.4. Which of the following can best describe the professor?A. Odd but thoughtful.B. Fashionable and helpful.C.

Call boxes would be changed into mini-offices for workers on-the-go and will offer free coffee to subscribers（认购者）.Bar Works Inc's chief executive Jonathan Black, a Briton living in New York, said that his company will renew telephone boxes with fully functional printers, scanners, 25-inch screens and Wi-Fi. Bar Works specializes in offering bar-themed work stations in prime locations, charging customers with a monthly subscription in return for free access to the business and office supplies. The company plans to operate in a similar manner, offering British customers with monthly memberships to "Pod Works" for £19.99（$29）.The company will refit telephone boxes in five major British cities and has already rented and changed 15 old call boxes in London and Edinburgh. As expected, they are coming into use by the public in the coming months. "Given the prime location, above all else, of the telephone boxes, the launch is expected to gain at least 10, 000 members by the end of 2021. It's an alternative to, say, Starbucks but obviously it provides you with total privacy. " said Black.Thanks to mobile phones, the red telephone boxes have been effectively made expendable. According to a report by the Daily Mail, retired telephone boxes, especially those damaged deliberately, are sent to a "telephone box graveyard" of sorts, where they take great pains to restore to their former glory before being sold to collectors across the globe. Such is the demand for properly restored telephone boxes, that it is not uncommon for them to be sold for amounts as high as £10, 000.Despite its setback, in a recent survey, the British red telephone box, which was originally designed in 1920, was voted the greatest British design of all time.8. What will the red telephone boxes be used for?A. Mini-offices.B. Mini coffee boxes.C. Bar-themed call boxes.D. Leisure rooms for workers.9. What do you know about the renewed telephone boxes?A. They will be put into use next year.B. They offer as much privacy as Starbucks.C. They will be equipped with office supplies.D. They have been rented in five major British cities.10. What is Black's attitude towards the launch?A. Doubtful.B. Confident.C. Cautious. D. Uncertain.11. What's the purpose of writing about the telephone boxes in this passage?A. To arouse concern for them.B. To introduce their new role.C. To expand a larger market.D. To advertise their launch.DMembers of a native community in the arctic (北极的)areas of Sweden say their reindeer (驯鹿)are facing possible hunger from unusual weather related to climate change. The local Sami community takes care of about 8,000 reindeer throughout the year. The animals are moved between traditional feeding areas in high mountains close to Norway in the summer and forests farther east in the winter.A community member, Inga, is worried about his reindeer. He said climate change has affected the area's weather activity and created food shortages. "If we don't find better areas for them where they can feed themselves and find food, the reindeer will die from hunger,” Inga said. He verified the problem by reaching down into the snow and pulling up a hard piece of ice close to the soil.The area received unusual snowfall early in the fall, followed by rain that froze. Inga said this traps the plants that reindeer eat under a thick cover of ice. Some of the hungry reindeer have now moved away from their traditional feeding areas in search of food.Community members say half the reindeer moved towards the east as planned. But the rest headed back to the mountains, where they face the risk of attacks by other animals or being caught in an avalanche (雪崩). Older members of the Sami community say that in the past, they only remember bad winters about once every ten years. But now, Inga says “extreme and strange weather are appearing more and more often,“ happening several times a year.Snowfall is common for the area. But as temperatures increase, rain can also fall, creating a “rain-on-snow” effect. When this happens, food remains trapped under the ice where the reindeer cannot reach it. This causes the animals to grow weaker and struggle to make it through the winter. Weather changes have hit the Sami community hard.“We don't want money because we cant buy better weather with money. We need the EU to take action and they need to do it now,“ said Inga.12. What problem do reindeer meet with at present?A. Cold weather.B. Risk of hunger.C. Long march for food.D. Polluted environment.13. What does the underlined word “verified" in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Proved.B. Solved.C. Ignored. D. Answered.14. What problem would the reindeer back in the mountains face?A. Traps under the snow.B. Hunt from human beings.C. Rocks falling down the mountain.D. Threat from other animals.15. What is causing the reindeer s present difficult situation?A. Flood.B. Drought.C. Rain-on-snow effect.D. Snowfall.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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.The colors that you select create a distinct atmosphere in the room. _16_Pick the color for your room and you can create whatever you feel like.
