1．Every Wednesday，I go to Cantata Adult Life Services，a local retirement community in Backfield，Illinois，US，with my classmates to do community service.
After my very first visit to Cantata，my life changed forever.That may sound a bit dramatic，but volunteering with the elderly has changed my views on life.Our visits last about an hour，and we bring 25-30 students every time.We play board games and cards with the residents while we're there.
You can watch all the movies and TV shows you want about "life back then"，but nothing compares to talking to the people who were actually there.Just hearing their stories has touched me in a way I never thought possible.
Even the residents who don't have amazing memories make the experience satisfying.I remember visiting Mrs.Robinson.She couldn't recall much about her past，but she told me she'd never forget how kind I was just to listen to her "rambling （漫談）".It made me realize that it's the little things that make life worth living.That's something I won't forget anytime soon.
For me，it feels great to be a source of happiness，a smile on a bad day or a listening ear for old memories.And at the end of the day，that's all that matters.It's easy to feel like you don't have anything in common with the elderly – especially when you're a teenager.But that's not true at all.
I hate to be overly cliched （陳詞濫調的） here，but age really is just a number.As young adults，it's important for us to realize this sooner rather than later.We can learn a lot from the elderly，and they can often benefit from teenagers too.
（1）What do the volunteers do according to the passage？
A．They share everything with the residents.
B．They play board games and cards with the residents.
C．They watch the residents play games.
D．They buy gifts for the residents.
（2）According to the writer，what is the most important thing that volunteers can do for the elderly？
A．Playing with them.
B．Benefiting from them.
C．Helping them.
D．Being there with them.
（3）What does the writer want to tell us by writing this passage？
A．We don't have anything in common with the elderly.
B．Age is just a number.
C．It is important to help the elderly.
D．Young adults and the elderly can benefit from each other.組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5 -
2．Proper arrangement of classroom space is important to encouraging interaction.Most of us have noticed how important physical setting is to efficiency and comfort when we work.College classroom space should be designed to encourage the activity of critical thinking.
We are in the 21st century，but step into almost any college classroom and you will step back in time at least a hundred years.Desks are normally in straight rows，so students can clearly see the teacher but not all their classmates.The assumption （設想） behind such an arrangement is obvious：Everything important comes from the teacher.
With a little imagination and effort，unless desks are fixed to the floor，the teacher can correct this situation and create space that encourages interchange among students.In small or standard-size classes，chairs，desks and tables can be arranged in different ways：circles，U-shapes，or semicircles.The primary goal should be for everyone to be able to see everyone else.
Arrangement of the classroom should also make it easy to divide students into small groups for discussion or problem-solving exercises.Small classes with moveable desks and tables present no problem.Even in large lecture halls，it is possible for students to turn around and form groups of four to six.Breaking a class into small groups provides more opportunities for students to interact with each other，think out hard，and see how other students' thinking processes operate --- all these are the most important elements in developing new modes of critical thinking.
In course that regularly use a small group format，students might be asked to stay in the same small groups throughout the course.A colleague of mine allows students to move around during the first two weeks，until they find a group they are comfortable with.He then asks them to stay in the same seat，with the same group，from then on.This not only creates a comfortable setting for interaction but helps him learn students' names and faces.
（1）The final purpose of arranging desks in circles or U-shapes is
A．for teachers to divide students into small groups.
B．to make it possible for students to interact with each other.
C．for teachers to find out how students think.
D．to give students more opportunities to practice speaking.
（2）The expression "step back in time at least a hundred years" is intended to convey that
A．college classrooms often remind people of their past.
B．critical thinking was encouraged even a century ago.
C．desk arrangement in a classroom was quite different from that a hundred years ago.
D．today's arrangement of college classroom space has little difference from past's.
（3）The way of arranging desks in straight rows indicates that
A．students can be easily prevented from cheating during tests.
B．it is convenient for teachers to monitor students.
C．teachers play a significant role in a classroom.
D．it is good for students to concentrate on listening to teachers組卷：2引用：1難度：0.5 -
3．Your glasses may someday replace your smartphone，and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch．Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include．
"I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a．m．and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open，"said Walter Choo，40，of Fort Greene．
The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between 250 and 600，the Times said，possibly including a variation of augmented（增強的） reality，a technology already available on smartphones and tablets （平板電腦） that shows information onto the screen about one's surroundings．So，for example，if you were walking down a street，indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you．
"As far as a mainstream consumer product，this just isn't something anybody needs，"said Sam Biddle，who writes for Gizmodo．com．"We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things，"he added，"and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device （裝置） that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars．"
9 to5 Google publisher Seth Weintraub，who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year，said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones．
"It's just like smartphones 10 years ago，"Weintraub said．"A few people started getting emails on their phones，and people thought that was crazy．Same kind of thing．We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones，and it's unnatural，"he said．"There's gonna be improvements to that，and this a step there．"
（1）One of the possible functions of the smartphone-like glasses is to．
A．program the opening hours of a bar
B．supply you with a picture of the future
C．provide information about your surroundings
D．update the maps and GPS in your smartphones
（2）The underlined phrase"pop up"in the third paragraph probably means""．
A．develop rapidly
B．get round quickly
C．appear immediately
D．go over automatically
（3）According to Sam Biddle，the smartphone-like glasses are．
A．necessary for teenagers
B．attractive to New Yorkers
C．available to people worldwide
D．expensive for average consumers
（4）We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphone-like glasses．
A．may have a potential market
B．are as common as smartphones
C．are popular among young adults
D．will be improved by a new technology．組卷：3引用：2難度：0.6 -
4．Spring is coming，and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs．Competition is tough，so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices．Whatever we are wearing，our family and friends may accept us，but the workplace may not．
A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos（文身） nose rings，or certain dress styles．It is true you can't judge a book by its cover，yet people do"cover"themselves in order to convey certain messages．What we wear，including tattoos and nose rings，is an expression of who we are．Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances，so do companies．Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons，but the main concern is often about what customers accept．
Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom，but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money．Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees，because those people represent the companies to their customers．
As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers．There are plenty of well-qualified candidates，so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers．Even though I am open-minded，I can't expect all our customers are．
There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer．No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards，as long as its standards are legal．
（1）Which of the following is the newspaper editor's opinion according to Paragraph 2？
A．People's appearances carry message about themselves．
B．Customers'choices influence dress standards in companies．
C．Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated．
D．Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace．
（2）What can be inferred from the text？
A．Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview．
B．What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies．
C．Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates．
D．Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates．
（3）Which of the following would be the best title for the text？
A．Employees Matter
B．Personal Choices Matter
C．Appearances Matter
D．Hiring Managers Matter
（4）The author's attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as．
A．enthusiastic
B．negative
C．positive
D．sympathetic．組卷：12引用：2難度：0.7

5．You have heard it said many times — the only thing constant in life is jye.ai.Change happens in every area in our lives，such as moving into a new apartment or home and changes in career or business.So we cannot avoid change in life.（1）
Here are some of the benefits of change：
? Change leads to opportunities.You will realize that each change in your life is actually an invitation to new opportunities.Remember every new opportunity has its own benefits.（2）However，it is always advisable to consider the benefits that those new opportunities will bring.If you accept changes in your life，you will benefit from each new opportunity.

? Change means progress.If you look back to your life ten years ago，you were very different from what you are today.（5）This is called progress.And these growth experiences are the reason why you should appreciate changes in your life.Therefore，we should take advantage of change and make it work for us in positive ways.
