【答案】
（1）B
（2）B
（3）A
（4）C
【解析】【聽力原文】W: Are you facing a situation that looks impossible to fix?
In1969, the pollution was terrible along the Cuyahoga River near Cleverland, Ohio. It was unimaginable that it could ever be cleaned up. The river was so polluted that it actually caught fire and burned. Now, years later, this is one of the most outstanding examples of environmental cleanup.
But the river wasn't changed in a few days or even a few months. It took years of work to reduce the industrial pollution and clean the water. Finally, that hard work paid off and now the water in the river is cleaner than ever.
Maybe you are facing an impossible situation. Maybe you have a habit that is driving your family crazy. Possibly you drink too much or don't know how to control your credit card use. When you face such an impossible situation, don't you want a quick fix and something to change immediately?
While there are amazing stories of instant transformation, most of the changes are gradual and require a lot of effort and work, like cleaning up a polluted river. Just be patient.

【題目】請認真閱讀下列短文，并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一個最恰當?shù)膯卧~。注意：每個空格只填1個單詞。
What is eco-fashion? Eco-fashion is about making clothes that take into account the environment, the health of consumers and the working conditions of people in the fashion industry. It is a complex phenomenon and the common use of the fashionable terms—‘ecological' and ‘ethical'. Ecological fashion usually refers to textile (織物) and clothing production processes and the environmental issues surrounding them；ethical fashion generally relates to the working conditions involved in the producing processes.
What are the problems with fashion? A closer look at the fashion industry points out many problems that are common practices in the creation of our fashions from the field to the factory. Firstly, the production of textiles pollutes the environment heavily. Cotton-planting uses pesticides; sheep-farming and wool-cleaning contribute to global warming; synthetics-making (人造纖維生產(chǎn)) brings about waste which does harm to our environment. Secondly, every stage of clothing production has a significant effect on the environment. They all use a great deal of energy, and some also involve chemicals which evidently do harm to the surroundings. In addition to this, there is a lot of waste produced in the process, especially in the form of polluted water. Thirdly, growing consumption levels and our shopping habits further worsen the bad effects. We are now buying clothes in increasing quantities without realizing the scale on which it affects natural environment, and we are also quick to throw away clothes that have been worn only a couple of times.
Then, how to solve the problems? Other industries that design products are ahead of the fashion industry when it comes to choosing sustainable materials, designing for minimum waste, choosing energy efficient manufacturing and creating products for longevity. The fashion industry has been slow to adopt these changes and part of the problem is the very nature of fashion. To a large degree, it is the fashion producers that really have the power and the responsibility to shape our future. There are numerous ways in which these producers can reduce their ecological footprint, from switching to green energy and reducing energy use, through selecting sustainable materials and choosing local suppliers，to recycle and minimize waste. On the other hand, as consumers we can all make contributions by selecting environmentally friendly clothing and reducing clothing consumption.
There is some concern that eco-friendly fashions are just a trend that we will eventually grow tired of but we can make sure that doesn't happen. Now many people are beginning to shop for organic food products because the benefits of eating food free of chemicals are straightforward and immediate. They relate directly to our personal health. In fact, choosing eco-fashion can also contribute to our personal health, though it is mostly done by way of keeping the health of the planet.

Do you want to worry less? Of course you do, right? That's like me asking if I could send you free bacon. Worry is like black mold — it appears in damp conditions and spreads uncontrollably. And often times we don't realize it's there until it's killing us. We must get rid of worry before it destroys us. But how?
Do What You Need to Do.
You ought not to avoid tough projects or hard conversions until the last moment. If you don't do what you should be doing, you will end up spending the rest of the time worrying about the must-do things. Believe it or not, the anxiety that comes from worrying is much worse than the task we're worried about.
Get Intentional.
I think many of us act like we're puppets in a play and we're waiting for something or someone to put us in the right place. You just react to whatever is going on. We need to stop letting life just happen. We need to live on purpose.

You can't have intentionality without making plans. Making plans will enable you to achieve your aims more smoothly. Yet, don't place your plans in stone. You can adjust your plans flexibly. Accept changes. Make new plans.
There are other ways to lessen worry. As long as you are determined to take action, you will live a worry-free life.
A. Worry ruins creativity.
B. Make Plans
C. Do what you should be doing.
D. Here are some effective ways to deal with it.
E. Then move forward.
F. You do the same as people around you do.
G. Nothing can cause worry like purposelessness.

【題目】Everyone wants to be happy, but not everyone can make it. Do you want to have a good mood every day? If so, the following steps will be useful to you.

Be grateful.

【1】 They can be simple things like the purple flower on the sidewalk, the beautiful sunset, and the hot shower you take every day. When you have a grateful heart, you’11 cherish them and be naturally filled with happiness.

【2】

When you put your mind, heart and soul into what you’re doing, you’re creating a happiness state—called the “flow”. When you’re living in the flow, you’re less likely to mind what others may think about you, and less bothered by unimportant things. The result? More happiness, of course!

Become a problem solver.

Happy people are problem solvers. 【3】 Instead, they face up to the challenge and channel their energies into finding a creative solution. By becoming a problem solver, you’ll build up your self-confidence and your ability to accomplish whatever you determine to do.

Practice forgiveness.

Hatred and anger are forms of self-punishment. When you forgive, you’re actually practicing kindness to yourself. 【4】 Everyone makes mistakes. It’s through our mistakes that we learn and grow to become a bigger and better person.

Give back.

Doing good is one of the surest ways to feel good. According to Harvard, when people do good, their brains become active in the very same reward center that is stimulated when they experience other rewards. 【5】

A. Go with the flow.

B. Focus on what you are doing.

C. And most importantly, learn to forgive yourself.

D. When they face a challenge in life, they don’t fall into a sad state.

E. When they meet with difficulties, they will solve them on their own.

F. So It’s not a surprise that people who care more about others are happier.

G. Slow down, look around, and pay attention to the little details in your life.

【題目】As a Chinese saying goes, “Taste is actually a memory of childhood”. Local specialty food may not be popular among all people, but it offers outsiders a glimpse of local culture and history.

Gongcheng “oil tea” is such a kind of food that would be considered “weird” by many first-time visitors to the remote county in the north of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Many people dislike its bitter and astringent（澀的）flavor when they take a sip.

“It felt like drinking Chinese herbal medicine. I never expected that I would gradually accept it afterwards, and even become addicted to it,” said a traveler surnamed Zhang who comes from Shijiazhuang in northern China’s Hebei province.

Langshan village is said to be birthplace of Gongcheng “oil tea” whose ideal ingredients are green tea and fermented（發(fā)酵）tea. The village has preserved well its buildings and roads dating back to late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), as well as its traditional way of making the special tea.

Lin Fengyou, 60, introduced the cooking process. She looks younger than her age, and attributes this to the benefits of drinking “oil tea” throughout the year.

The first procedure is to use a wooden hammer to pound the tea while heating it in an iron pot, and then add edible（可食用的）oil and boiled water afterwards. She filters off the solid residues（余渣）, and pours the glue-like green tea soup into bowls. Then, she adds salt, caraway seed（葛縷子籽）, green onion, dried rice, fried groundnuts, sliced taro（芋頭）and fried beans.

The taste of the “oil tea” is a mixture of the distinctive（特有的）flavors of all its ingredients. Local people usually eat it together with glutinous rice（糯米）balls, rice dumplings and glutinous rice cake.

The villagers consume “oil tea” three times a day. The tea soup is a healthy and refreshing food. “The tea soup to us is coffee to Westerners”, said Lin. “But it is tastier.”

【1】Many first-time visitors may find “oil tea” ________ when taking a sip.

A. popular B. beneficial

C. addicted D. strange

【2】What can we learn about Lin Fengyou according to the passage?

A. She thinks drinking “oil tea” throughout the year makes her look younger.

B. She is one of the reasons why the special tea has been preserved.

C. She never expected that she would gradually accept “oil tea”.

D. She drinks “oil tea” three times every day and considers coffee tastier.

【3】Which is the correct order of cooking “oil tea” according to Lin Fengyou?

a. pour the glue-like green tea soup into bowls

b. heat the tea in an iron pot and pound the tea

c. add salt, caraway seed, green onion, dried rice, etc

d. add edible oil and boiled water

e. filter off the solid residues

A. acebd B. dbace

C. bdeac D. beadc

【4】Which column is this passage probably taken from?

A. Culture & Education B. Entertainment

C. Health D. Travel
