Chokwe Selassie, aged 13, is working hard to help drivers avoid potholes(坑洼). The eighth-grader was inspired to kick off his creation on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. He decided to do something about the pothole problem in his city.
Chokwe developed the app with his friends Rodriguez Ratliff and Emmanuel Brooks. When the app detects a pothole, it is highlighted in red. And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you with a beep. Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes and look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them.
The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson, already stored in a database of the city‟s 311 call system. Through the call system, citizens dial 3-1-1 to report non-emergency problems which include potholes. Chokwe and his friends determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sample size to test the prototype.
While developing the app, the boys took part in a Minority Male Makers Program sponsored by Verizon and held at Jackson State University. They learned 3D printing and design, and how to create apps. Through the program Chokwe and his friends received encouragement and guidance.
Although the app isn‟t yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to
improve the app. He hopes to add more to it until it spreads all over the country.
24. Why is the car damage mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To scold the road builders.
25. What is the app used to do?
A. Warn drivers about potholes. B. Help drivers obey traffic rules.
D. Tell drivers to avoid red lights.
B. By broadcasting traffic accidents. C. Stop drivers using mobile phones. A. By replying to citizens‟ calls.
27. Which can be Chokwe‟s future target?
A. Encouraging more kids to create apps.
B.Taking part in more learning programs.
C. Making the app available for sale online.
D. Making the app include streets nationwide.
C
According to the most recent count, more than 6,500 homeless people sleep on the street or in shelters in San Francisco, and there are only eight shower facilities(设施) specifically available to the homeless, and most of these have just one or two stalls(淋浴间) and aren‟t open every day. Now San Francisco-based company Lava Mae, is trying to change that with a simple but smart idea—turning retired city buses into mobile showers for the homeless. The idea known as Lava Mae, is a response to the need of the homeless in the city.
It all started two years ago when Sandoval got in a cab after a meeting in the SoMa district of San Francisco, where the homeless mainly lived. “My driver turned around and said, „Welcome to the land of broken dreams.‟” Then Sandoval awoke from her imagination and started really look at the people around her. “A woman I passed was crying and saying that she would never be clean,” Sandoval said. She took what the woman said as a sign that she should focus on the problem of hygiene(卫生), one of the most pressing needs for the homeless.
After doing some research, Sandoval hit on the idea of a mobile unit that could be equipped with shower facilities. According to the company‟s founder Doniece Sandoval, every bus will be renewed and equipped with two separate private areas, each with a shower B. To introduce their bad luck. D. To warn the danger of careless driving. C. To tell the inspiration for the app. 26. How does the app work through the 311 call system? C. By settling non- emergency problems. D. By using its information about potholes.

第三部分 阅读理解（共两节；满分40分）
第一节（共15小题； 每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Modern life is comfortable. Meanwhile, it is costly. As price and building costs keep rising, the do-it-yourself (DIY) trend (趋势) in the U.S. continues to grow.
“We need furniture for our living-room,” says John Ross, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decide to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house. Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a
shoe-making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I’ve finished a car repair course. I should be able to fix the car by myself.”
John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living.
If you want to become a “do-it-yourselfer”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take the course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.
51. We can learn from the second paragraph that ______.
A. many young people have difficulty building a house
B. many newly married people take DIY courses for fun
C. John and his wife make or repair things to save money
D. John and his wife build their furniture to improve the quality of life
52. When the writer says that Jim has a full-time job at home, he means Jim ______.
A. keeps house and looks after his children B. does extra work at night
C. does his own car and home repairs D. makes shoes in his home
53. Jim Hatfield decided to become a do-it-yourselfer when ______.
A. he had to raise the children all by himself B. his car repairs cost too much
C. he could not possibly do two jobs D. The car repair class wasn’t helpful
B
European Day of Languages falls on 26 September. BBC News Online reported the attitudes across several European Union countries to languages.
Tamsin Smith, Rome, Italy
Italians place very high importance on learning languages, particularly English. Twenty years ago it was quite difficult to find an English speaker here but today it is quite easy. The strong influence of American and English culture helps young people to learn the English language. They often become familiar with it through “Harry Potter” books or Disney movies. English schools, where Italian children are taught all their lessons in English, are also becoming popular among rich Italians.
Lucien Libert, Paris, France
Languages are very important in France. A good knowledge of the English language is necessary for many Frenchmen to get a good job and the more languages you can learn, the better. English is the first language you learn in school and you start very young. Most people have at least eight years of learning English at school. Learning German or Spanish comes next and Latin is also taught in most schools. While French people learn languages, there is also a movement to protect the French language.
James Helm, Dublin, Ireland
The English language predominates(占优势) in Ireland, but the ancient Irish language is a lasting source of pride and interest, and it remains a living tongue that is used in several areas. School are required to teach ancient Irish, and most students learn it as part of the subjects. There is a continuing discussion about how to protect the language best. In recent years some primary schools have introduced foreign language classes for younger students, and the Irish government has tried to encourage schools to offer more languages such as French, Spanish, German and Italian.
54. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Tamsin Smith?
A. English learning in Italy has been popular for more than a century.
B. Some popular books and movies help young Italian people with their English a lot.
C. Only children from rich families like to learn English in Italy.
D. More and more Italian children have given up learning their mother tongue.

A
Two travelling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family were rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied: ―Things aren’t always what they seem.‖
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable(好客的)farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had，the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning，the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.
The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, ―How could this happen?‖ ―Why did you not watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,‖ she accused. ―The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.‖
―Things aren’t always what they seem.‖ the older angel replied. ―When we stayed in the basement，I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked

When I was ten my dad helped me buy my first ten-speed bicycle from Allen. I put up $60 of my grass cutting and snow shoveling (铲) money and my dad put up the other half I would pay him back over the next six months. Although it was not in the latest style, it was my ticket to the adult world.
I spent that summer and autumn riding happily. My sister Liz, a prisoner of her five-speed bicycle, never had a chance to keep up. Just before the Christmas deadline to pay my dad back, we were hit with several snowstorms. This allowed me to shovel enough driveways to pay off my debt.
