B Jennifer Mauer had needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree.That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's degree. Mauer,of Edgar,Wisconsin,grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children.Her dad worked at a job away from the farm,and her mother ran the farm with the kids.After high school,Jennifer attended a local technical college,working to pay her tuition () because there was no extra money set aside for a college education.After graduation,she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling. Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own.She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves:nursing.She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home.She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids.Jennifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree:Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills,and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times. Through it all,she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed (to achieve her goal,giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study."Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,"she says.However,her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree.Jennifer is a first- generation graduate and an inspiration to her family-and that's pretty powerful. 24.What did Jennifer do after high school?

C The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research.Recent studies have found positive effects.A study conducted in Youngstown, Ohio,for example,discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime.In another,employees were shown to be 15%more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants. The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)have taken it a step further-changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse,even unusual functions.These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they're short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater."We're thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,"explained Michael Strano,a professor of chemical engineering at MIT. One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow (in experiments using some common vegetables.Strano's team found that they could create a faint light for three- and-a-half hours.The light,about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by,is just a start.The technology,Strano said,could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps. In the future,the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant's lifetime.The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off "switch"where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight. Lighting accounts for about 7%of the total electricity consumed in the US.Since lighting is often far removed from the power source ()-such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission ()Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy. 28.What is the first paragraph mainly about? A.A new study of different plants. B.A big fall in crime rates. C.Employees from various workplaces.D.Benefits from green plants. 29.What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineers? A.To detect plants'lack of water.

D With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation(), more families are choosing to live together. The doorway to peace and quiet,for Nick Bright at least,leads straight to his mother- in-law:she lives on the ground floor,while he lives upstairs with his wife and their two daughters. Four years ago they all moved into a three-storey Victorian house in Bristol-one of a growing number of multigenerational families in the UK living together under the same roof.They share a front door and a washing machine,but Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen,bathroom,bedroom and living room on the ground floor. "We floated the idea to my mum of sharing a house,"says Kathryn Whitehead.Rita cuts in:"We spoke more with Nick because I think it's a big thing for Nick to live with his mother-in-law.” And what does Nick think?"From my standpoint,it all seems to work very well. Would I recommend it?Yes,I think I would. It's hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him,but research indicates that the numbers have been rising for some time.Official reports suggest that the number of households with three generations living together had risen from 325,000 in 2001 to 419,000in2013. Other varieties of multigenerational family are more common.Some people live with their elderly parents;many more adult children are returning to the family home,if they ever left.It is said that about 20%of 25-34-year-olds live with their parents,compared with 16%in 1991.The total number of all multigenerational households in Britain is thought to be about 1.8 million. Stories like that are more common in parts of the world where multigenerational living is more firmly rooted.In India,particularly outside cities,young women are expected to move in with their husband's family when they get married. 32.Who mainly uses the ground floor in the Victorian house in Bristol? A.Nick. B.Rita. C.Kathryn. D.The daughters. 33.What is Nick's attitude towards sharing the house with his mother-in-law? A.Positive. B.Carefree. C.Tolerant. D.Unwilling. 34.What is the author's statement about multigenerational family based on? A.Family traditions. B.Financial reports. C.Published statistics. D.Public opinions. 44 35.What is the text mainly about? A.Lifestyles in different countries. B.Conflicts between generations. C.A housing problem in Britain.

Sometimes,there are no real answers.Everyone has lost something and someone,and they keep on asking what they have done to deserve this cruel fate.It's okay to hold on to these questions,but no matter how hard and painful it is,you should keep moving, breathing and living.36 Even strangers can teach you kindness.There may be millions of selfish people in the world. 37 There is still kindness out there,waiting to be discovered.You will find it everywhere,at the most unexpected places-even among the wastelands left by the disaster. Family is everything.Sometimes we forget to love our family,just because we're too busy with our own lives.38 We will not realize their value until we arrive at an empty house,an abandoned and forgotten place that you once called"home", 39 Sure,reality can be harsh and unforgiving but it doesn't mean that we should blame ourselves and feel like a victim forever.We have to strive and thrive;we have to fight and do whatever it takes to resist and rise up.Not everyone will have a happy ending or an interesting plot,but we can always decide how to write the ending. Every day of your life should be spent loving and living.Don't be angry at the world for letting you live an unbearable life of heartbreaks and frustrations.40 So just love deep and love hard.Live as if it's your only chance to find the happiness that you deserve. A.You'll find your way someday. B.Your money won't matter in the end. C.Life is too short to live in its imperfections. D.However,it's not a reason to lose hope in humanity. E.You shouldn't be a victim forever-be a survivor. F.You have to help yourself first before you can help others. G.At times,we take them for granted because we think they'll always be there. 第三部分语言运用（共两节） 第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Before I was born,my mom had worked as a nurse.However,she resigned ( shortly after my birth to 41 me.After I turned 12,she 42 to work. 45 She left at 5:45 am,which left me 43 for waking myself up,preparing breakfast and walking to take the 7:30 am bus.I 44 being left home alone in the mornings.On days when she didn't go to the 45 she drove me both ways.Those were the 46 days.

"Yes,"my husband Avraham smiled."Can we go now?You've got to meet your interview before I go to see my patient at one o'clock. “Right.Got your medical bag?” “Yes.” Even years after moving from North America,we still loved the half-hour drive to Jerusalem(耶路撒冷).The blue sky above the mountains,the trees,and the journey up to the Holy City always filled us with gratitude for living in Israel. As we sped along,we came to our favorite part of the journey,where a wonderful view of Jerusalem suddenly appeared above the roadway.We had a good time and arrived at my meeting with time to spare. 47 After my interview,I met Avraham at our favorite cafe.Avraham ordered his daily iced coffee and a bag of fresh bread.Glancing at the clock,I suggested we go to see his patient. Avraham had to visit an elderly woman in Jerusalem because her daughter had called the day before to arrange the appointment.As there were very few foot specialists in Israel,Avraham would travel all over the country to see patients requiring specialized foot care.He searched his pockets for a note on which he had written the address. But the note was nowhere to be found. “Idon't believe it！I must have left the address at home.” "Do you remember any part of the address?"I asked. "I remember that there was a number 17 in it,because it was part of my birth date. “Do you know the street name?” “No.Just that it's in this neighborhood..” I had heard the family name mentioned the day before and remembered it sounded like a European name."Let's try looking at buildings and see if the mailboxes can give us some help,"I offered. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4.续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: We scanned the listings for the number 17 and two more nearby buildings.
