6．Before leaving his job in Brooklyn，Brian Peter had one thing he wanted to do on his last day-say thank you to the city he loves．Peter decided to use the money he made for a day's work，as well as the﹩10 per year he earned for his service，to give back to his community．"I've got nothing but good things from the city and the citizens，"Peter said．"I take what I make in a day and add that﹩120 that the police association was going to give me，and I'll just add it up to﹩500 and get some gift cards for people．"
So after fourteen years'serving as a police officer，Peter spent his last day doing that．Using his own money，Peter purchased five gift cards from Target and five gift cards from the grocery chain Cub Foods worth﹩50 each and handed them out to strangers in Brooklyn Center．
It took him about two hours to give away the cards and that he could put smiles on a lot of people's faces，including one woman he stopped after noticing the condition of her car．"Her car was really old and really damaged．I saw her windshield wipers were stuck in the up position，"Peter recalled．"I explained what I was doing and gave her a gift card，and immediately，she lit up with a smile．"
Once people overcame the initial shock of what he was doing，Peter said he received a lot more hugs that day．Monique Drier，who stayed with Peter，said Peter has always wanted to give back and didn't really want the attention．"He didn't even have a going-away party，"Drier said．
Peter，who started his new job three days ago，said he still wanted to continue giving back to the community．"Community service is extremely important，and when you're fortunate in life，you should give back to others who aren't as fortunate as you，"Peter said．"That's what makes the world go round．"

18．Imagine you've finally landed a job of your dreams in another city．It's everything you'd hoped for，but there's only one problem-housing costs in the area are so high that you're forced to live in a parking lot．
While this sounds like an impossible situation，this predicament is a reality for one man．Brandon，25，is a software engineer for Google at its San Francisco，California campus．
"I realized I was paying too large an amount of money for the apartment I was staying in，and I was almost never home．"He told Business Insider，"It's really hard to justify throwing that money away．You're not putting money into anything and you are not building it up for a future．"
Since scoring his job in May 2015 following a successful internship，he's been living in a truck on a parking lot a short distance from his workplace．
The tech worker makes up for the lack of facilities by eating，using the bathroom and showering at work，also charging his phone and computer there．
San Francisco is home to the most expensive rental market in the US，with the aver age rental for a one-bedroom apartment coming to $3，590（24，900 yuan）a month，according to property site Zumper．
And while some may not be able to handle giving up life's luxuries just to put aside some cash，Brandon estimates that he's saved almost $28，000 since he moved in just over 18 months ago．
"Not only do I get to invest all of that redirected rent money，but I get to invest all the money I'm not spending on furniture，facilities and buying food．"Brandon wrote on his blog．

29．Which of the following can replace the underlined word"predicament"in paragraph 2？C

A．Because he has no time to go back to an apartment．
B．Because the rent is too high and he thinks it isn't worthwhile．
C．Because his workplace provides him with what he needs   
D．Because he wants to save money for an apartment of his own．
31．What does Brandon think of his choice？D

1．It was the men's figure skating final of the Winter Olympics when I was 16．I lay on our living room floor excitedly watching the battle between the Brains：American Brain Boitano facing Brian Orser in Canada．Both of them had been world champions．Both of them deserved to win．As a Northern Californian，I was for my fellow countryman．He also grew up in Northern California．We'd skated on the same ice．Brain performed successfully．The champion!I jumped in the air when his score went up．
But what happened next is what I'll never forget．Brain sat in front of the camera，surrounded by a group of journalists．Brain was talking about his career and his medal，talking to the whole world．A terrible sinking feeling went through me．I could never be in the Olympics．
I thought．I loved skating because I could express myself with my jumps and dances better than words．
What if journalists asked me questions like they asked Brain？I'd freeze up like the ice beneath my skates!And yet，there was so much I would love to say，about my family and all the support they'd given me and about following my dream of being a skating champion．
I worked very hard the next few years-on the ice and especially off．After journalists talked to me and although my heart pounded every time I spoke to them，I got to know them．And they got to know me．Slowly I learned that the best approach was simply to be myself，to be honest and gracious and do my best，just like on the ice，to answer their questions．
So when my big moment came four years after Brain's．I was ready．Remember：when you do the thing you fear most，you put an end to fear．

25．What information can we get from the first paragraph？C
A．The author lives a difficult life．
B．The author comes from Canada．
C．The author preferred Boitano to win．
D．Orser won the gold medal．
26．What did Brain's press conference remind the author of？A
A．Her fear of public speaking．
B．Her pride in Brain's victory．
C．Her dream of becoming a world champion．
D．Her hard training as an Olympic competitor．
27．What does the underlined word"off"possibly refer to？B
A．Challenges in school．
B．Contact with reporters．
C．Achievements in skating．

18．One hundred years ago，"Colored"was the typical way of referring to Americans of African descent．Twenty years later，it was purposefully dropped to make way for"Negro．"By the late 1960s，that term was overtaken by"Black．"And then，at a press conference in Chicago in 1988，Jesse Jackson declared that"African American"was the term to welcome．This one was chosen because it echoed the labels of groups，such as"Italian Americans"and"Irish Americans，"that had already been freed of widespread discrimination．
A century's worth of calculated name changes point to the fact that naming any group is a politically freighted exercise．A 2001study cataloged all the ways in which the term"Black"carried connotations （涵義） that were more negative than those of"African American．"
But if it was known that"Black"people were viewed differently from"African Americans，"researchers，until now，hadn't identified what that gap in perception was derived from．A recent study，conducted by Emory University's Erika Hall，found that"Black"people are viewed more negatively than"African Americans"because of a perceived difference in socioeconomic status．As a result，"Black"people are thought of as less competent and as having colder personalities．
The study's most striking findings shed light on the racial discriminations permeating the professional world．Even seemingly harmless details on a CV，it appears，can tap into recruiters'（招聘人員）discriminations．A job application might mention affiliations（關(guān)系） with groups such as the"Wisconsin Association of African-American Lawyers"or the"National Black Employees Association，"the names of which apparently have consequences，and are also beyond their members'control．
In one of the study's experiments，subjects were given a brief description of a man from Chicago with the last name Williams．To one group，he was identified as"African-American，"and another was told he was"Black．"With little else to go on，they were asked to estimate Mr．Williams'salary，professional standing，and educational background．
The"African-American"group estimated that he earned about 37，000ayearandhadatwo-yearcollegedegree．The"Black"group，ontheotherhand，puthissalaryatabout 29，000，and guessed that he had only"some"college experience．Nearly three-quarters of the first group guessed that Mr．Williams worked at a managerial level，while only 38.5percent of the second group thought so．
Hall's findings suggest there's an argument to be made for electing to use"African American，"though one can't help but get the sense that it's a decision that papers over the urgency of continued progress．Perhaps a new phrase is needed，one that can bring everyone one big step closer to realizing Du Bois'original，idealistic hope："It's not the name-it's the Thing that counts．"

59．We can conclude from Erika Hall's findings thatA．
A．Racial discriminations are widespread in the professional world
B．Many applicants don't attend to details on their CVs
C．Job seekers should all be careful-about their affiliations
D．Most recruiters are unable to control their racial biases
60．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？C
A．Jesse Jackson embraced the term"African American"because it is free from discrimination．
B．The naming of any ethnic （種族） group is political sensitive．
C．Before the study conducted by Erika Hall，researchers had identified the causes of the gap in
perception of racial discrimination．
D．A man identified as"African American"is thought of as more capable than he is identified as"Black"．
61．Erika Hall's experiment about a man with the last name Williams indicates thatC．
A．African Americans fare better than many other ethnic groups
B．Black people's socioeconomic status in America remains low
C．People's conception of a person has much to do with the way he or she is labeled
D．One's professional standing and income are related to their educational background
62．From the underlined sentences in the last paragraph，we can know that Dr．Du Bois'hope isB．
A．All Americans enjoy equal rights
B．A person is judged by their worth
C．A new term is created to address African Americans
D．All ethnic groups share the nation's continued progress．

9．（REUTERS/Jason Lee） Zhou Xiaochuan，governor of China's central bank，a high-level Chinese official on Sunday made the government's first admission that the country's economic slowdown was not going as planned．He told a meeting of regional leaders that his country's growth rate had tumbled "a bit too much．"
"China's inflation is also declining，so we need to be very careful to see if the disinflation trend will continue，and if deflation will happen or not，"said Zhou，His remarks were made at the Boao Forum for Asia，an annual conference on the island of Hainan in southern China．Zhou added that China could"have room to act"by taking"quantitative measures"and setting interest rates．
For many，the way he described China's health was no surprise．The country's economy has not been growing this slowly since the 1990s．Companies in debt are seeing sickly profit margins．Banks are carrying loads of debt，too，and the housing market is slowing．China's official 2015GDP growth target is 7%，but that seems shaky．
Acknowledging that significant intervention has to be on the table is a big deal for China．Everyone has known for years that this slowdown was coming because the government is purposely transitioning its economy from one based on foreign investment to one based on domestic consumption．It is a brutal process，but the government knows it is the only way the country will become the self-sustaining superpower it wants to be．
（Barlcays）Until now，while the Chinese government had acknowledged the slowdown was rough，it had assured the world that the situation was under control．Just a few weeks ago，Chinese officials were saying they would be monitoring deflation but still were not that keen on intervening with policy measures．
Now it seems they are warming to the idea．In January，China's headline consumer price inflation hit 0.8%，then it bounced back up to 1.4% in February．March probably isn't looking that great either from the People's Bank of China's point．

"Widening PPI deflation and soft CPI inflation，especially after adjusting for seasonal effects，point to persistent deflation risks，"Barclays wrote after February's number came out．"In our view，the monetary policy needs to be more'proactive'in order to deal with the cyclical challenges in the near term．"
58．Which of the following illustrates"growth rate had tumbled"in Paragraph 1？D
A．setting interest rates                  
B．economic transition
C．bounce of CPI                       
D．FIGURE 1
59．We can infer from the passage that one of the solutions to the slowdown could beC if needed．
A．monitoring deflation                 
B．expanding foreign investment
C．making new policy measures           
D．reducing domestic consumption
60．Which of the following could be the best title for the passage？B
A．Zhou's admission is a big deal and a little bit irresponsible．
B．The Chinese government has admitted that things aren't going so well．
C．China should be more active in its struggle against inflation．
D．China's economy has been growing fast since the 1990s．
