19. Almost eight years ago, Al Nixon decided to begin each day from a bench with a beautiful view of St. Petersburg, Florida, waterfront. He called it “life rising”.
Instead of staring straight ahead at the waterfront, Nixon started smiling at people and starting conversations every morning, weather permitting. And pretty soon, more than a few early risers began to joining him on the benches asking him for advice about relationships, careers, and personal problems.
“I was happy to listen,” Nixon, 59, said, “I wanted them to walk away knowing that they didn’t have to feel alone. When you’re in your 50s and 60s, a lot of people feel their purpose hasn’t been
finished. At this time in life, this is surely my purpose.” His presence and his openness to listen have led some to nickname him the Sunshine Mayor (市长).
Dee Glowa, who is in her late 50s, once met Nixon and said, “He listens without judgement (意见) and without any kind of return expected.” No matter what problem a person wants to air, Nixon lends an ear. “You have to have an open heart and an open head, because you never know who’s going to walk up and what they might need,” Nixon said. “Every person who stops by the bench deserves my undivided attention.”
“A woman stopped once and said, I just want to sit here with you,” he recalled. “We stared at the water for an hour, then she said thank you and walked away. She just wanted a moment of peace and to know she wasn’t alone. And in that moment, in that hour, on that morning, she truly wasn’t.” 1.

A．Small talks were enough.
C．He just wanted them to feel relaxed. 4. What do you think of Al Nixon?
A．Lonely and helpless. C．Kind and warm.
5. What is the best title of the passage?
A．The Sunshine Mayor C．Small Talk
B．Less Lonely D．Feeling Happy B．Bored and selfish. D．Helpful and talkative.
B．He only needed a moment of peace. D．An open heart and an open head matter.

37. 阅读下面材料，从每题所给A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。 Away from the bright lights of the city, if you look up at the night sky you will see an ocean of bright stars. But in the city jungles we humans have built ourselves, it’s a different story.
This year, Earth Hour fell on March 26. The annual tradition was created to raise awareness for climate change. Those celebrating turn off all their electrical appliances (家用电器) for one hour. It also draws attention to another serious problem that the world is currently facing the threat of light pollution.
Light pollution happens when too much man-made light harms nature. Scientists have found that it is especially harmful to animals which are active at night. These creatures rely on the natural light cycle provided by the movement of the sun to help coordinate (协调) their sleep cycles. When this is disturbed by constant bright lights from man-made structures, it can seriously disorientate (使失去方向感) the animals and harm their physical health. “Wild life animals have lived on this planet with biological rhythms changing that has very great effects,” said Travis. A lack of darkness at night can also cause difficulties for animals in other ways.
Newly hatched (孵化) baby sea turtles rely on the brighter horizon over the ocean to guide them from the beach to the sea. However, with man-made light next to the oceans, the small animals are easily led away from the right path. “Hatchlings are attracted to lights and crawl inland, or crawl aimlessly down the beach, sometimes until dawn, when predators (天敌) or birds get them,” said Michael Salmon, a biologist at Florida Atlantic University.
Man-made light has caused “drastic (激烈的) change” to the natural environment of animals,
research scientist Christopher Kyba told the International Dark-Sky Association. “Predators use to hunt and prey (猎物) animals use darkness as cover,” Kyba explained. If a predator has such
advantage in hunting its prey, this can lead to an imbalance in ecosystem as the hunted animals no longer able to maintain their population when they become over-hunted. 1. Why was Earth Hour created?
A．To raise awareness of air pollution. B．To call on people to get closer to nature.
C．To draw public attention to environmental problems. D．To reconsider the necessity of electrical appliances. 2. How does light pollution affect animals which are active at night?
A．It slows down their flight speed. B．It changes their sleep cycles.
C．It reduces their dependence on the sun. D．It reduces their difficulties caused by darkness. 3. What trouble does man-made light cause baby sea turtles?
A．It can prevent them from reaching the ocean. B．It can affect their biological rhythms. C．It makes them lose their way to the beach. D．It makes them be caught by birds difficultly. 4. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．The argument about man-made light. B．Animals that benefit from man-made light. C．The effect of man-made light on ecosystems. D．The dangers of an imbalance in the ecosystem. 5. Which one would be the best title?
A．Earth Hour This Year C．City Jungles We Built
B．Take Action to Protect Wild Animals D．Reduce Light Pollution to Keep Balance
38. 先阅读短文，在其后空白处写出各单词的正确形式，单词的第一个字母已给出。 For middle and primary school students, being able to cook will become a must in the near future. They will also need to learn how to plant vegetables, r 1 chickens and repair home appliances (家电).
Starting from the next new term, students will take c 2 on labor skills at least once a week. According to the new standards, there are three kinds of labor tasks outlined. The first refers to
everyday c 3 including cleaning, organizing, cooking, and using and repairing home appliances.
