Dear Grandma,
It was nice seeing you at Christmas．You looked so happy!
After losing two grandparents within the past year, I have taken some time to reflect on what is most important．I want to let you know what a positive influence you have been on me．I am the person I am because of you．
I remember being on your farm a lot when I was younger．I remember the projects you planned for us．We painted rocks to represent our family members．We made doll clothes out of colorful socks．We made many 'playhouses' in the woods．
We learned that if you left a bucket of soybeans in the rain, you would soon have a bucket of growing beans．We learned that if we helped pick the strawberries in the morning, we‘d have them on our ice cream in the afternoon．We learned that some plants have funny names, like the elephant ear plant．We learned that you could make do with what you had．We learned that making things out of paper and cardboard was more fun than what came inside the packaging．We learned it was OK to get dirty, but Grandma would wash us up before Mom came．
You once made models of everyone‘s houses, which made me want to be an architect．Another time, you made quilts for all of the grandkids．I still use mine every night．The edge has worn out．
But you taught me how to fix it．
I love and respect you．You are always patient, with a quiet determination．
Grandma, thank you for everything you have taught me．I hope that I am able to pass on all these memories and skills to my children and grandchildren．
Love always,
Kelly

On a February day during an unusually mild winter, I found myself missing the snowy beauty． I enjoyed the feeling that comes from watching snow fall gently from heaven while I‘m cosy inside with a good fire burning in the stove．But there were more serious concerns, like the lack of rainfall making our woods more accessible to summer forest fires．Local ski fields and hotels, all dependent on a snowy season, felt sorry for the vacant lifts, empty restaurants and unused snowmobiles．
Then I happened to see three little robins （知更鸟） fly into our yard．What were they doing here? West of us, in the Willamette Valley, wild flowers burst this time of year．But here in central Oregon, even if a groundhog （ 土拨鼠） had wanted to appear, it couldn‘t have broken through the frozen earth．And yet, these robins had arrived．
Their presence brought me a flow of happiness．It felt like a celebration as I dug into my bag of birdseed and spread a handful on the ground．Above me, the deep blue sky was cloudless, perfectly quiet but for some smoke from a neighbor‘s chimney．The lively cold made the air fresh and clean． My robins jumped lightly toward the seed．My soul jumped with them, feeling equally carefree．
Caught up in the moment of spring fever, I checked our snowless flower beds．To my delight, I spotted a green branch sticking out through the brown soil．
Despite the cold, I wasn‘t ready to go back inside．Just a short meeting with those robins had renewed my spirit．The next day I would return to my outdoor work with a cheerful heart and a hopeful eye for these signs of spring．
60．The author missed a snowy winter because snow could _
A．prevent forest fires
B．boom his business
C．promise an early spring
D．bring him a good feeling
61．The author felt happy when finding ______．
A．the sky was deep blue with clouds
B．three little robins flew into his yard
C．wild flowers burst in the Willamette Valley
D．a groundhog appeared through the frozen earth
62．We can infer from the passage that the author _____．
A．would enjoy wild flowers the next day
B．thought winter was already over
C．longed for the coming of spring
D．loved robins the most
C
Cooking Kills Four Million People a Year Polluted airborne particles （大气悬浮颗粒）kill 7 million people a year, reports the World Health Organization．
That news may not come as a surprise to anyone who has seen images of chimneys in Beijing, Delhi or Mexico．But those factories-or even the jammed roadways of modem cities-are not the biggest killer．Each year, some 4．3 million people die earlier than they should because of polluted air inside their homes, says the WHO．
What‘s causing the air inside people‘s homes to be so poisonous that it kills around 11, 000 people a day? Stoves．' Having an open fire in your kitchen is like burning 400 cigarettes an hour．' says Kirk Smith, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, whose research suggests that household air pollution from cooking killed between 3．5 million and 4 million people in 2013．
Not all stoves cause this kind of harm．The ones Smith‘s talking about are those that the 3 billion people in the developing world use for heat and cooking, which bum solid fuels such as wood, coal, or crop waste instead of gas．The smoke from those fires produces harmful fine particles and carbon monoxide into homes．Poor ventilation then prevents that smoke from escaping, raising fine particle levels 100 times higher than the limits that the WHO considers acceptable．
Breathing this air day in day out eventually causes a lot of diseases: more than a third of the 4．3 million die of a stroke, while a quarter die of heart disease．And around one-third of annual lung disease deaths worldwide are due to waste from coal stoves．
Exposure tends to be extremely harmful for the people who spend the most time around the Fire-usually women and young children．In fact, the WHO reports that household air pollution almost doubles the risk for childhood lone disease．
63．According to Kirk Smith‘s research, ______．
A．factories are the biggest killer worldwide nowadays
B．burning 400 cigarettes an hour is extremely dangerous
C．household air pollution from cooking is surprisingly harmful
D．some 4．3 million people die earlier each year than they should
64．What should be the deadly killer in a household kitchen?
A．Solid fuels． B．Coal stoves．
C．Poor gas． D．Cooking smoke．
65．The underlined word 'ventilation' in Paragraph 4 probably means ______．
A．airing B．cooking
C．burning D．cooling
66．The author intends to tell people ______．
A．how to avoid polluted air in their homes
B．to stop cooking in the household kitchen
C．to guard against household pollution from cooking
D．how to prevent childhood lung diseases in household
D
Your dilemma （进退两难） has two aspects: your employer demands loyalty, but you want to help another working woman．The question is whether you can act properly towards both．Your personal view about the unfair maternity policy makes it complicated．In the United States, paid maternity leave （带薪产假） is not an automatic benefit guaranteed by the government．Even unpaid leave is only permitted for a limited period with certain working hours．
It‘s understandable that you feel such divided loyalties, said Gretchen Zetoony, a licensed clinical expert in Virginia．' On the one hand, you want to be careful not to provide information that might discomfort your employer in a negotiation; on the other hand, it‘s natural to feel sympathetic toward someone in a similar situation, particularly if you see the company‘s policy as unfair．' she said．
Before you give advice on negotiating a better maternity-leave package, remember to be careful with what you say．'If you are nervous that your employer could lean you had advised her, that should be a guide for you that you may wander into a questionable area．' Zetoony said．
What happens if your colleagues discover that this applicant benefits simply because of your advice．That may not be formal discrimination but it might create a bad feeling among colleagues who are not working mothers and who didn‘t join your organization armed with insider tips．'In this case, the risk isn‘t as much about betraying your employer or your fellow women as possibly creating conflict in the workplace if colleagues notice that you helped an applicant gain an advantage because you share some personal characteristics．' Zetoony said．If that happens, and you find that your colleagues are whispering about you] or openly complaining, address the situation with a calm sit-down．Explain that you felt you had to help this woman pass her way through the organization’s human-resources maze, and that you would do the same for anyone who asked you for advice．
There might be a better way to help women negotiate maternity leave than advising them． Consider getting together with colleagues who also care about this issue to advocate for better family leave policies within your organization, Zetoony suggests．The more employees who join you] the more likely management are to listen．It is also applicable in other components of an employment offer where you will face such a dilemma．
67．One may fall into a dilemma mainly because ______．
A．he thinks the maternity policy unfair
B．his employer breaks the maternity policy
C．the US government protects his employer
D．his woman colleague asks for a paid leave
68．According to Zetoony, your nervousness might lead to ______．
A．your employer‘s forgiveness B．an even more embarrassing situation
C．your employer‘s sympathy D．an exposure to your characteristics
69．From the passage, in a similar dilemma, you‘d better ____．
A．talk to your employer directly
B．put forward more applicable solutions
C．give your colleagues a helping hand sincerely
D．gather more colleagues to work out better policies
70．What‘s the author‘s attitude towards maternity leave?
A．Supportive． B．Neutral．
C．Negative． D．Critical．
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。
Selfie
Social media and the mobile web have given rise to a strange phenomenon called the selfie．It refers to a picture of yourself, usually shared on any social networking website．
71 Some selfies are extreme close-ups, and others show part of an arm held straight outward．A few of them even feature the subject standing in front of a bathroom mirror．
Everyone takes selfies, but the younger crowd seems to be especially involved in the trend． Young people are relatively heavier digital users．They are interested in staying connected to their friends． 72
There are also kinds of psychological factors driving people to take a selfie and upload it to a social networking site． 73 A quick and easy way to attract other‘s attention is to get 'likes' and comments from friends．Secondly, it‘s human nature to show off your own great achievements．When you feel good about yourself or look good, it‘s far too easy to take out your phone and document it all through one or several selfies． 74___ That‘s right．Sometimes people are bored at work, bored at school, bored at home and even bored on the toilet．Last but not least, social media is about being social! If that means uploading as many selfies as possible, then so be it．It‘s fun, and it‘s a cool way to sort of document your own life．
Finally, there are things to be mindful of when you‘re posting．It‘s easy to think you‘re sharing a photo with a few people． 75 So don‘t post anything online, selfie especially．
A．There are lots of selfie styles．
B．The rise of selfies has become universal．
C．Social media, to some extent, is the driving force of their selfie activity．
D．The desire to take, post and get 'likes' on selfies goes back to a biological behavior．
E．But the whole world of social media is public and every individual can get access to it．
F．There are also people who will take selfies because they have nothing else better to do．
G．The leading factor is that people want to get attention from as many people as possible．
