That answer bothered Hamilton a lot.Getting a job,if you had a criminal record,was extremely hard for them.Starting one's own business seemed like a good alternative,and Hamilton knew a lot about how to do that. Hamilton grew up in a rough,low-income area of Connecticut.As a kid,he started finding ways to make money and did tasks others didn't want to do,for example,grass-cutting.His business took off and by high school he had so many landscaping jobs to do that he hired some of his classmates.Upon graduation,he sold his business to pay for business school at Duke University. Hamilton teamed up with Reverend Harris to start Inmates to Entrepreneurs and began teaching in prisons.Lawrence Carpenter,who had been in prison twice before launching a multi-million-dollar commercial cleaning business,approached Hamilton about helping out.Carpenter,who now is the Chairman of Inmates to Entrepreneurs,started off small.He began his cleaning business by collecting the apartment guides and then writing a letter to each apartment complex,offering his services.When Carpenter included this story in his Inmates to Entrepreneurs classes,the reaction was immediate-he had given students an example of how self-employment could be done. In 1992 when Hamilton first started Inmates to Entrepreneurs,the idea of teaching people with criminal records how to start their own businesses was very unusual.Fortunately,in the past years its branches have sprung up throughout the country,and has become such a movement that now even the U.S. Congress is considering legislation()to provide business training inside prisons. 24.What's Inmates to Entrepreneurs? A.To help prisoners start businesses. B.To improve prisoners'legal knowledge. C.To engage prisoners in charity programs. D.To share tips on job-hunting with prisoners. 2 扫描全能王创建 25.How does Hamilton's program go? A.Difficult. B.Successful. C.Disappointing. D.Uncertain. 26.What's Hamilton like? A.Caring and helpful. B.Generous and funny. C.Passionate and gentle. D.Optimistic and dutiful. 27.Which of the following can be the best title of the text? A.A Nationwide Movement:Engaging Prisoners B.A Nationwide Movement:Starting up Charity Program C.A Nationwide Movement:Inmates to Entrepreneurs D.A Nationwide Movement:Training Unemployed People C Re-purposing diapers()to make building materials would reduce the amount of garbage that goes to a landfill.It could also make homes more affordable.Maybe giving used diapers a new use could help tackle both problems. Building materials-especially those that are used for strengthening structuresare often expensive.They're often the biggest hurdle to making homes affordable.So researchers have previously investigated unusual materials that could save costs.These materials included many that would otherwise pile up as waste,such as fly ash. "There is a big need in developing countries such as the Southeast Asian nation- Indonesia.There,demand for low-cost housing outstrips()what's available.The number of people in Indonesia's cities has climbed by about 4 percent per year in the last 30 years.By 2025,more than two-thirds of Indonesians are expected to live in urban areas.Indonesia's population boom is intensifying the demand for housing,"says Zuraida, an environmental engineer in Indonesia. "Despite the need for more affordable housing,there are significant problems that stand in the way of adopting diapers,"Zuraida says.Used diapers contain wood pulp, cotton and plastic,which are potentially useful building materials.Diapers plastic components would have to be separated from the organic fibers,a complicated recycling process currently available only in developed nations.And Indonesia's building regulations restrict together-materials to bricks,wood,steel and concrete ▣ 扫描全能王创建 可只 (which is used to hold bricks together)-materials that also bear a high cost in terms of carbon emissions. "But reusing diapers might not be that environmentally friendly,especially on a large scale.It's tricky to separate dirty diapers from waste and disinfect them.So it would take a lot of energy to recycle diapers. It's maybe worthwhile to start thinking about ways to replace single-use diapers with something less frequently thrown away,"says Christof Schrofl,a chemist who works at Technische Universitat Dresden in Germany. 28.Which statement describes the idea of re-purposing diapers best? A.No pains,no gains. B.Waste not,want not. C.Kill two birds with one stone.D.Great minds think alike. 29.What is the meaning of the underlined word"hurdle"in Paragraph 2? A.Phase. B.Barrier. C.Goal. D.Advantage. 30.What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph? A.It is illegal to use diapers as building material in Indonesia. B.Making building materials has little effect on climate warming. C.The plastic components in diapers can make buildings stronger. D.Developed countries have difficulty separating organic fibers on diapers. 31.What is Schrofl's attitude towards reusing diapers? A.Indifferent B.Supportive. C.Admiring. D.Disapproving. D It's mid-afternoon.You're full from lunch.The day is warm.You're starting to feel sleepy.Should you give it to the comfort of a nap ()In point of advantage,it is worth it.Though there is some disagreement as to whether napping benefits everyone,research suggests naps can boost at least some people's mental process of understanding in the short term. Several studies find that a well-timed nap can provide a short-term boost in brainpower.For example, scientists reviewed past research that focused on healthy participants with regular sleep cycles.That review, published in 2009 in the Journal of Sleep Research,shows that napping improves factors ranging from reaction time to alertness()to memory performance. "A brief nap can also inspire people with creativity,"a 2021 study in Science Advances found.In that research,participants were given math problems that could be solved with an easy short cut that they weren't told about.Some participants were encouraged to take a brief nap before tackling the problems.The researchers found those who napped-and spent even just 30 seconds in the first,lightest phase of sleep- 3 扫描全能王创建 were 2.7 times more likely to figure o the short cut than those who stayed awake.But entering a deeper sleep phase had a negative effect on this creative insight,In other words,there may be a"sweet spot"of mental relaxation that clears the way for moments of inspiration. “Timing your naps right can reduce sleep inertia(睡眠惯性)，”says Natalie Dautoich,a psychologist at Virginia Commonwealth University."A 20-minute nap is recharging and 60 to 90 minutes of sleep can be even more restorative.The nap to avoid is the one lasting to than 20 minutes and less than 60 minutes,which is most likely to lead to sleep inertia." "The short-term benefits of naps are well established,but pinning down the relationship between naps and any specific health outcomes,long-term effects of napping,is not always simple.For example,greater daytime sleepiness is symptomatic of many health conditions;and therefore napping may not necessarily be the cause of these conditions but rather a consequence,"says Victoria Garfield,a professor of University College London. 32.What can we know about napping from the first paragraph? A.It is favourable to people. B.It make people inefficient. C.It can boost people's night sleep. D.It has little effect on people's ability 33.What would you be if you take a half-an-hour nap? A.Bored. B.Sleepy. C.Enthusiastic. D.Restorative. 34.How does the writer prove arguments in the text mainly? A.By listing statistics. B.By making comparison. C.By criticize wrong opinions. D.By presenting study results. 35.What will the author probably talk about next? A.The reasons for unhealthy physical conditions. B.The ways to set the appropriate time of napping. C.The association between nap and health conditions. D.The means to get into the habit of long-term napping 扫描全能王创建 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，`满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项为多余选项。 Kindness May Keep You Healthy If you are driving in the United States,.you may see a common bumper(汽车保险杠)sticker on passing vehicles that reads:36The saying is meant to urge people to behave in a gentle,caring,and helpful way towards others without thinking or planning ahead. _37 In one experiment,,Brian are,an anthropologist(人类学家)at Duke University,.asked a group of people to perform three acts of generosity for other individuals each week.These acts could be small,like opening a door for someone.The people who were caring,gentle and friendly towards others reported experiencing contentment,satisfaction and happiness. However,being kind is not just emotionally beneficial.Lyubomirsky studied a group of people with the disease Multiple Sclerosis(多发性a硬化)，38_Her research also pointed out that people showing kindness to others had less inflammation()in their bodies.And in other studies,Lyubomirsky said more anti-viral genes were found in people who extended a helping hand to other people 39 In one study,researchers gave people a list of values-such as kindness,creativity,ambition, tradition,security,seeking social justice,and seeking power.When asked to pick the most important, kindness won. "The basic reason why people are kind,"Oliver Curry,explained,the research director at Kind-lab that is a non-profit organization,"is that we are social animals.Kindness is as much a part of us as our anger, grief or desire."40 A.Perform random acts of kindness.

Her understanding words calmed him,but also deepened his sense of responsibility."She is so kind.I cannot let her down,"he thought.For nearly two hours,he searched every nearby street,but there was no sign of his bike.As night grew darker and the wind bit harder,Jack clenched his fists and made a firm decision.He took out his poor savings,bought a bag of fresh apples and a new cup of hot milk tea,then set off on foot to Ms.White's apartment, several kilometers away.The wind bit into his thin jacket,and his old shoes grew heavy with mud,but the thought of keeping his promise and maintaining his integrity kept him moving forward through the dimly lit urban landscape. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Finally,breathless,Jack reached Ms.White's doorstep and rang the bell.
