I was in a new state at a new school and needed something solid to stand on: a place to feel grounded. I also needed to do laundry, so I walked to a nearby self-service laundry and stuffed a machine with my clothes. As I struggled to close the washer door, the woman working behind the counter told me to give it a good hit with my hand. The washer did its job, yet even after an hour, the dryer seemed to have barely warmed my clothes. I left, having decided to air-dry them on my car in the August heat.
A month later, I learned her name was Sandy, which she told me after I'd helped her stop a washing machine from moving across the floor. I was grading poems at a table when one of the washers broke loose and skipped an inch into the air. I jumped to the machine and held on while she unplugged it. The next week, Sandy told me dryer No.8 was the fastest.
It went on like this. I'd do laundry once a week, usually Thursday or Friday. Sandy worked Tuesday through Saturday and we'd talk small while I folded clothes. She told me about her son and his grades, the new dog they’d just adopted. She was fascinated that I was studying poetry. She teased（开玩笑) that it was harder making a living as a poet than as a laundry attendant. Even then I knew she was probably right.
I began to recognize others there: workers taking breaks by the door, a mother and her baby, and even some delivery drivers. But Sandy was the center of my community. For nearly three years and almost every week, I'd do laundry and talk with her. We checked on each other and expected the other to be there. We asked where the other had gone when we missed a week. There was a note of concern for the other's absence, a note of joy at their return.
I'd found a place to stand on solid ground.
24. Why did the author leave with his wet clothes
A. He liked the August heat better. B. He had to go back to the class.
C. He wanted to show off his new car. D. He didn't think the dryer worked well.
25. Why did Sandy tell the author to use dryer No.8
A. She was warm-hearted. B. She needed a volunteer.
C. She wanted to thank him. D. She was sorry for the mess.
26. What did Sandy think of a career in poetry
A. It was harder to fulfill. B. It was really fascinating.
C. It was badly-paid work. D. It needed a lot of effort.
27. What can be inferred about the author from the passage
A. He formed a close friendship with Sandy. B. He made a lot of friends in college.
C. He expected Sandy to do laundry for him. D. He often wrote to Sandy after graduation.

Climate change and increases in drought and rainstorms pose serious challenges to our water management. An international group of scientists have brought together a large body of research on water quality in rivers worldwide. The study shows that river water quality tends to worsen during extreme weather events. As these events become more often and severe due to climate change, ecosystem health and human access to safe water may be increasingly under threat.
The research led by Dr. Michelle van Vliet of Utrecht University analyzed 965 cases of river water quality changes during extreme weather such as drought, heatwaves, rainstorms, and flooding. The analysis shows that in most cases water quality tends to become worse during droughts and heatwaves (68%), rainstorms and floods (51%), and under long-term changes in climate (56%). During droughts, less water is available to dilute contaminants（稀释污染物),while rainstorms and floods generally result in more contaminants that run off from land to rivers and streams. Improvements or mixed responses in water quality are also reported for some cases, for example when increased transport of pollutants is offset (抵消）by more dilution during flood events.
Water quality changes are strongly driven by changes in water temperature. Land use and other human factors such as wastewater treatment also shape how this plays out. "Understanding the complex interplay between climate, land use, and human drivers, which together influence the sources and transport of pollutants is crucial," says van Vliet. The research also calls for more data collection and studies of water quality in non- Western countries. "We need better monitoring of water quality in Africa and Asia. Most water quality studies now focus on rivers and streams in North America and Europe."
The results of the study underline the urgent need for a better understanding of water quality changes during extreme weather events. It sounds an alarm to us. Only then will we be able to develop effective water management strategies that can safeguard our access to clean water and ensure ecosystem health under climate change and increasing weather extremes.
28. What can we learn from paragraph 1
A. Human beings should be blamed for climate change.
B. Worsened water quality is threatening the climate.
C. Water quality in rivers worldwide is under risk.
D. Water management has been improved recently.
29. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. The threats caused by extreme weather. B. The factors influencing water safety.
C. The findings of van Vliet's research. D. The design of van Vliet's experiment.
30. According to paragraph 3, which will van Vliet probably agree with
A. Water quality in non-Western countries is more terrible.
B. Human activities have a big influence on water quality.
C. Related data collection and studies of Europe is adequate.
D. Water quality changes are dominated by water temperature.
31. What is the author's attitude toward van Vliet's research
A. Unclear. B. Contradictory. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.
D
Danone Portugal introduced a new yogurt named Juntos. For every pack of yogurt that a person bought, he would donate yogurt to a family in need. Danone had done its research. Increasingly, people say they want to buy from brands that give them a sense of purpose. Surely a yogurt that helped the needy would be appealing. But Juntos was a failure. Despite sinking millions into a marketing campaign, Danone pulled Juntos from the market only months after it was launched. Now the same product is simply marketed as a tasty yogurt.
What happened To find the reason behind Juntos failure, Lawrence Williams and his colleagues did an experiment where they showed people some products and asked these people to pick one option. They reminded some to focus on the "purposeful and valuable" aspect while others were told to "enjoy themselves" and focus on "delight and pleasure." They found that participants who prioritized meaning preferred the less expensive product when compared with people who put pleasure in the first place.
So why were meaning-seekers cheaping out Lawrence Williams asked participants to explain their decision-making to find out. He learned that meaning-oriented people were not thinking about how the product they might buy could bring meaning to their lives. Instead, they were occupied with what else they could do with their money.
I am all for people making wise and strategic financial choices. But cheap products can create many problems. Inexpensive options often do not last as long as the higher-end ones. As a result, we shop more often, which is ultimately worse for our wallets. Plus, that spending pattern can do a greater damage to the environment. Thanks in part to fast fashion, people buy 60 percent more clothing today than they did 15 years ago. The fashion industry alone emits more greenhouse gases than international flights and maritime (海洋的）shipping combined.
So before you dive into your wallet for some deals, try not to fix only on what you are spending or saving. Think carefully about what you are buying, too.
32. What is the main reason for the failure of Juntos
A. It ignored marketing strategies. B. It priced itself relatively high.
C. It lacked a particularly good taste. D. It focused on delight and pleasure.
33. What can be inferred about meaning seekers
A. They frequent high-end stores. B. They think products extend their lives.
C. They hesitate to make decisions. D. They make more purchases with money.
34. How is Paragraph 4 mainly developed
A. By giving some examples. B. By listing numbers and data.
C. By explaining reasons. D. By making some comparisons.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Innovation: a Product's Life B. To Buy or not to Buy
C. Meaning seekers or Quality-pursuers D. Fast Fashion: a Hit to Your Wallet

There are many online and in-person courses promising to teach a “native accent”. But is it really necessary to sound exactly like a native speaker Some experts say it is not. Eusebia V. Mont leads the Accent Modification(修正) Program at the University of Maryland’s Department of Hearing & Speech Sciences. Mont talked about it to reporters.
Students come to the program for one or two school terms. They meet in a group for 90 minutes a week. Each student meets with one other student and a “doctor” for more individual work. Altogether the program amounts to about 60 hours of learning in class. Mont says the rate of progress absolutely depends on the type of accent it is, how long they’ve been speaking English and how often they speak English.
Mont says, “I view accent as the spread of culture; the spread of a person’s individual identity — and I don’t work to remove any part of culture from an individual.”
Students will most probably work in English-speaking environments when they leave school. The program teaches them tools for this. For example, they learn how to give an “elevator pitch” — a short description of an idea — and how to discuss their research. They also practice interviewing and giving presentations at work.
Mont says that there are a few methods for modifying accent, but most have the same basis. One method is called the Compton Method. Arthur J. Compton developed the method for English learners who know English vocabulary and grammar fairly well. It begins with a test to find out how the student’s native language affects different areas of pronunciation. Then learners use practice materials to record their own voice and compare their pronunciation attempts to recordings of a native speaker.
Another method is the Tomatis Method, which uses special headphones and includes listening to electronically modified voices and asks students to find the difference between their pronunciation and the voices they hear. This method is also used to cure children who have mental conditions that can cause difficulty in language learning.
Mont’s final advice to English learners is not to expect to sound exactly like a native speaker. And remember: even native English speakers do not all speak alike!
36. According to the passage, the Accent Modification Program ______.
A. is meant to help students get rid of their accent
B. divides students into different classes based on their abilities
C. offers students a total of 90 minutes’ study over one or two school terms
D. instructs students how to communicate in English-speaking environments
37. What does the underlined part “elevator pitch” mean in paragraph 4
A. Discussing one’s research in brief. B. Giving presentations in a small space.
C. Getting an idea across to others efficiently. D. Practicing interviewing skills in an elevator.
38. Both of the Compton Method and the Tomatis Method ________.
A. require students to take a test first B. employ the method of comparison
C. serve students who have mastered English well D. require students to record their voices with equipment
39. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Ways to Sound like a Native Speaker
B. The Situation of the Accent Modification Program
C. Keep Your Identity While Changing Your Accent
D. The Development of the Accent Modification Industry
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
Criticism is harmful to healthy relationships. ___40___ First, work on changing your own behavior. Then, find effective ways to communicate if someone bothers you.
Changing Your Behavior
Think before you speak. ___41___ Sometimes, it's best to let small indiscretions (轻率的行为）go. Try taking a few deep breaths and leaving the room instead of criticizing.
Separate the individual from their actions. If you work on separating the person from the action, you may naturally want to criticize less. As you realize you cannot judge a person's character based on a single choice or decision, you will be unable to call someone out for being rude or disrespectful.
Focus on positives. Oftentimes, being critical results from how you're choosing to see a situation. Everyone has shortcomings. However, the vast majority of people have good qualities that outweigh bad ones. ___42___
Communicating More Effectively
___43___ Some people have issues that may need addressing. However, feedback is very different from criticism. When addressing an issue, focus on suggestions you can make to help another person improve, which is more effective than criticizing.
Ask for what you want directly. Inefficient communication often results in heavy criticism. ___44___ Make sure to ask for what you want in a direct, respectful manner. This will eliminate（消除) the need for criticism.
Consider the other party's perspective. If you criticize others too often, you may be shutting out the other person's point of view. Try to step in another person's shoes before criticizing and you may get some new and special ideas.
A. Give feedback rather than criticism.
B. However, there are ways to avoid criticism.
C. Try to focus on a person's positive qualities over their negative ones.
D. If you find yourself making assumptions about a person's character, stop yourself.
E. If you're not telling someone what you want, that person cannot be expected to know.
F. Criticism should, ideally, be working towards an effective solution to a negative situation.
G. When you want to dish out criticism, pause and consider whether you really need to say anything.
