21、David Rees runs a very distinctive business. He charges customers $15 to sharpen their pencils to perfection, using a variety of tools.

I know what you’re thinking—is this a joke? The 39-year-old gets asked that question a lot. To clarify everything, he even created a special section on his website telling everyone he’s actually providing a real service.

You can supply your own pencil or you can have Rees sharpen one of his own favorite 2B pencils. After that, he mails it to you in a display tube with the shavings in a separate bag, and an authentic certificate which just happens to mention the pencil is so sharp as to be a dangerous object.

To achieve the desired result, the master sharpener uses all kinds of tools, including general sandpaper, pocket knives and even a special $ 450 sharpening machine. “It depends on what the customer wants to use his/her pencil for,” he says. That determines the most appropriate pencil-sharpening technique. Some customers buy pencils as inspirational symbols while others buy them because of their special memories of classic 2B pencils.

$15 to have a pencil sharpened is a bit expensive though, right? You’re not the only one who feels that way, and David’s unique business has really angered lots of people, who talk of inequality in America, saying it is so insane for the wealthy to pay $15 to sharpen a pencil. But others will say, “This is just our urge to put an end to the welfare state because new ideas arise along with the business.”

David admits his trade is sort of unusual. But there are those who actually value his service, as is proven by the over 500 orders he has gotten.

【1】How could David make money by sharpening pencils?

A．He invented new tools for the job.

B．He provided quality service for his customers.

C．He promoted his skill on his website.

D．He saved lots of time for other people.

【2】What can we infer from the words of David Rees in paragraph 4?

A．He provides personalized services.

B．He knows all kinds of pencil users.

C．He values ideas behind the pencils.

D．He always writes in pencil.

【3】What does the underlined word “insane” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A．Deliberate.

B．Rewarding.

C．Unreasonable.

D．Irresponsible.

【4】What seems to be the author’s attitude to David Rees’ trade?

A．It’s a waste of time and money.

B．It needs further improvement.

C．It’s awfully expensive.

D．It’s a fancy service.

22、I went over my grandmother’s house today and she didn’t have time for me. You see, the lady’s husband downstairs died and my Grandmother wanted to make some cookies for her. My grandmother did not analyze (分析) how the lady treated her, or if the lady needed any cookies, or even if the lady would like the cookies. She didn’t think how much the lady has done for her. She simply began baking.

My Grandmother turned 94 last week and this I believe is her secret to life. My grandmother is generous and hard-working in a way that is rare for our time. She lives by a simple belief: if someone needs your help, you help. Never mind all the analyzing and thinking whether the person deserves or appreciates the help. My grandmother doesn’t sit around thinking about who might be making use of her: she simply does what is needed.

At 94, she is busy in life. She is making a blanket for a new great grandchild, and worried that I don’t have enough kitchen towels for my home. She is bringing soup to a sick neighbor, and teaching the new wife of her cousin (who is 88) how to cook Italian food.

My grandmother had every right to give up, but she didn’t — and amazingly life did bring her good things, like a husband with twinkling blue eyes who was much ahead of his time and believed that men should do an equal amount of cooking and cleaning in the home, three beautiful children (my father and two aunts), 22 grandchildren, and five great grandchildren. My grandmother is not afraid to give someone she barely knows a bowl of soup. She never keeps herself out of the world.

【1】The reason why my grandmother made cookies for the lady downstairs is that ________.

A. she thought the lady was too busy

B. she would make them as thanks to her

C. they had had an agreement before

D. she thought she should do something for the lady at the special time

【2】In the writer’s opinion, ________.

A. my grandmother will get something in return

B. my grandmother has a secret way of living

C. my grandmother does everything on careful consideration

D. few people are as generous as my grandmother now

【3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. My grandfather does not treat women in an unfair way

B. My grandmother cares for her children even some strangers.

C. This is a family in which there are nearly 30 people now.

D. My grandmother never keeps everything for herself.

【4】 We may infer from the text that the writer ________.

A. thinks his grandmother is living a tired life

B. thinks his grandmother is doing what she should do

C. thinks his grandmother should not be so kind

D. is proud of his grandmother

23、When my friend suggested going to the op shop (二手商店)，instantly I thought “I hope no one I know sees me”. It was the same when my cousin commented on my new furniture and Japanese, fine-bone-china bowls and asked where I got them. They were from the local op shop but instead I said “from the antique shop”.

Many people in my Greek-Cypriot community would look down on me if I said I shopped at the op shop. They may pity me, consider me poor, a failure. Immigrants sacrificed their families and homes for a better life. Buying a house and having enough money to live comfortably, to educate your children and see them also live comfortably, are a big part of the immigrant dream, But has this dream made us materialistic at the cost of our own planet?

Our love for purchasing the latest trendy clothes or furniture, then donating them when we are tired of them has become normal. I was once like this. But after watching the documentary The True Cost I learned donated clothes that don’t get sold are sent to developing nations, many of them ending up in landfills (垃圾填埋地). In addition, your new dress requires electricity and materials to make. But if you buy a second-hand dress, that’s one less dress in a landfill and one less new dress to be made.

A friend introduced me to op shopping only a few years ago. My first item was a dress she gifted me. It was lovely and I loved it. Nobody could tell it was second-hand. This opened me up to purchasing more second-hand high quality branded clothes. Once I visited a friend and was impressed by how she decorated her apartment. “It’s all second-hand,” she said. I couldn’t believe it. The truth is a lot of things sold at the op shop are in new or almost new condition. That’s when I made the decision to only buy second-hand things.

Selling second-hand things isn’t anything new but what the planet needs is more buyers. There is so much excess (过量) production in the world. So stop feeling ashamed, and let’s get shopping.

【1】What kind of feeling is expressed in Paragraph 1?

A．Pride.

B．Embarrassment.

C．Delight.

D．Sympathy.

【2】What are many people in the author’s community like?

A．They are probably materialistic.

B．They care about the environment.

C．They think highly of op shopping.

D．They look down upon immigrants.

【3】What was the author encouraged to do after visiting her friend’s apartment?

A．Watch the documentary The True Cost.

B．Donate more to local charities.

C．Avoid shopping too much.

D．Stop buying new things.

【4】What’s the purpose of the text?

A．To entertain.

B．To advertise.

C．To persuade.

D．To describe.

24、I am lucky enough to live in a house that has a walled garden. In fact, this was one of the main features which encouraged us to buy this house.【1】. Apple, plum, and cherry trees are growing well here. Since we moved in, we have been turning this area into a richer forest garden.

【2】. Walled gardens can be created from the very beginning using recyclable materials. They can also be created in old industrial or agricultural sites, where the roofs of structures are no longer in good repair. In fact, our walled garden was made from an old cattle shelter.

I live in an area where temperatures can fall as low as around -5℃.【3】The stone walls help in temperature regulation(控制). Plants benefit from the protected microclimate in the garden all year round.   I find I can successfully grow several plants that would not usually grow well outdoors.

Stone walls can provide a quieter space than other gardens surrounded by fences. We live in the countryside but are near a busy road. Enter this garden, however, and we might be in a different world protected from traffic noise and other outside distractions(使人分心的事). 【4】.

Finally, it is also worthwhile considering that when a garden is surrounded by walls, it provides a range of choices for vertical(垂直的) growing. 【5】 Fruit trees can be trained to grow up the walls to make the most of the space. There are plants to choose from for each wall of a walled garden, each of which offers different conditions.

A．People are likely to live in a warmer place

B．This wall can turn the garden into a quiet heaven

C．Such kind of places can make excellent wall gardens

D．Climbers and small plants can find their places along the edges

E．The stone walls of this garden protected a collection of fruit trees

F．There may be arguments about where to create walled gardens

G．However, the garden warms more quickly in spring and cools more slowly in autumn

25、In today’s American society, background checks have become a routine part of hiring process, employers use them to ______________ potential workers, judging whether they are qualified for the posts. Through background checks, employers can also make sure that the information applicants provide is truthful, which ______________ the applicants’ moral quality.

Then what do background checks investigate? Many include a review of the employee’s employment history trying to confirm whether the employee has ever been fired or forced to ______________ . Employers also pay attention to the length of unemployment, afraid that long-time ______________ from work may bring negative influence to the employee’s performance. Sometimes, an applicant’s residential history is also an issue. Jobs with state or local governments often require that the employee live in certain areas, reducing the chances for them to have contact with ______________ people. Besides living near the work place is always welcome as it saves time and fares on ______________ . Another item which can’t be neglected is the applicant’s criminal history as in whether he has ever been arrested or put into prison. Although ______________ like traffic ticketing or queue jumping are usually pardoned, breaking a criminal law is rarely ______________ and, in most cases, is sure to result in the ending of the employment. Then comes the social history. A background check that involves the applicant’s social history is ______________ needed for government posts or employment in finance and law industries that require greater self ______________ . A small mistake in these posts may result in huge loss. The investigation usually checks drug use, family relationships and social contacts, in order to ______________ hiring someone unsuitable for the posts. Background investigators who ______________ social history may interview neighbors and professional references ______________ by the applicant.

Finally in the field of education background, an application form may ask for copies of licenses or university diplomas to show the applicant’s ______________ performances. In many instances, an education background check is so ______________ about details that investigators even confirm the date on which the employee earned his degree to determine if it agrees with the information the employee provided on his application.
