Inmates to Entrepreneurs Inc,, a 27-year-old program started by tech-businessman Brian Hamilton, began with a simple question and a simple answer. Hamilton had accompanied his friend to a local correctional facility as part of an outreach charity program. Towards the end of the visit, he asked one of the prisoners what he planned to do when he got out."Get a job" was the answer.
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(立法)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.
25.How does Hamilton's program go
A.Difficult. B.Successful C. Disappointing.
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

Re-purposing diapers(尿布) 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 structures—are 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(超过) 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 Siswanti 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 (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 Universit t 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 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.Objective.
D
It's mid-afternoon. You're full from lunch. The day is warm. You're starting to feel sleepy. Should you give ii to the comfort of a nap(打盹) 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( 警 觉 ) 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—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 Co, a 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

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: 36 The 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(多发性硬化). 38 Her research also pointed out that people showing kindness to others had less inflammation(炎症) 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
B.Acts of kindness are very powerful
C.In other words, we are designed to be kind.
D.She found that they felt better physically when helping others.
E. Research shows that doing kind things can make us feel better
F. He found that being kind makes people feel better emotionally,
G. Other research has shown that many people prize kindness above other values

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I grew up in a large family of twelve siblings(兄弟姐妹). We weren't poor by most standards, but things were definitely stretched (缺乏的) for us. My parents never shared their financial worries, instead choosing to let us have a carefree childhood. But despite their discretion(审慎),I knew, as children often do, that there were times they went without something they loved and that certain things wouldn't be available.
Back in those days, hot lunch was a luxury for the kids from ordinary families, and hot- lunch buyers sat separately from the students who brought cold lunch. My siblings and I brought lunch from home every day: thick slices of homemade bread hiding one slice of sausage, three cookies, and a small apple. We would look on longingly as the rich kids proudly sat down with their steaming plates of fried chicken or fish sticks and potatoes, boxes of cold milk, peaches and a slice of cake.
I never said anything, but my first grade teacher, Mrs Caruso, must have seen the longing in my eyes. One day she quietly pressed a note into my hand and whispered,"Give this to your mother".
I skipped home and gave my mom the note. She read it and smiled."Well, Mrs Caruso said because of all your hard work, she wants to buy you lunch tomorrow.”The next day, I proudly carried my chicken across the cafeteria and took my seat at the hot-lunch table. Honestly, the food wasn't as great as I had imagined, but I was pleased to be there and felt honored to be a part of the group.
Mrs Caruso became more than just a teacher or a kind-hearted woman who bought me hot lunch. She became a friend to my family. We visited her often, and my siblings and I would play in her backyard while our parents chatted with her over coffee. She taught us how to feed the koi fish(锦鲤)and we would watch in amazement as they swam up to the surface to eat.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。

第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分)
第一节
Dear Mr. Zhang,
I'm Li Hua,a student from Wan Nan No.8 Senior High School. I'm writing to apply to interpret for the British students at Wan Nan Museum of Science &. Technology on 26 November.
To begin with, I have a good command of English, coupled with half-a-year study in the UK, which is beneficial to the interpretation. Additionally , the history and exhibits of the Museum are very familiar to me thanks to volunteering there last term. Last but not least, I'm outgoing and good at communicating with others.
I'd appreciate it if you could offer me this precious opportunity. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节
One rainy day, Mrs Caruso asked me to stay after school. My stomach instantly dropped to the floor. Did she know I hadn't finished my math sheet Did she see me teasing Billy on the playground After the other students had left, Mrs Caruso said she was going to finish her work and then drive me home. It was raining, and she knew I had a long walk. We pulled up to my house and she got out, depositing a few bags full of clothes, toys,and books on the porch. Then she drove away.
I don't know why Mrs Caruso took a shine to my family. Maybe she also grew up in a family that struggled. Somehow, even with her quiet charity, she never made me feel ashamed. She just made me feel loved and important. Thanks to her, I learned that I had just as many rights as anyone to sit at the hot-lunch table. As an adult. I try to pay it forward by following Mrs Caruso's example of kindness and generosity. I may not have the means to make grand gestures, but I can offer a listening ear,a helping hand, or a small gift to someone who needs it.
