When
my
mother
passed
away
a
few
years
ago,
my
father
was
left
alone
in
the
large
house
they
had
shared
for
50
years.
Without
her
to
watch
out
for
him,
he
worried
about
who would find him and help if
“something happened.”
My
sister and I live in other states, so we hit on
the idea that Dad could send
us an
email every morning when he awoke. Thus was born
the Morning Report.
He’s usually up by
the crack of dawn,
and his half a dozen
or so sentences are
waiting in my inbox
when I wake up. If there’s no email, I call him,
or my sister
docs, to make sure
everything is fine. The reports have become more
than an everyday
check
though;
they’re
a
diary
of
sorts,
a
catalyst(
催
化
剂
)for
more
extended
conversations, and
a source of insight into his life.
Through
them,
Dad
tells
us
about
his
routines.
He
might
be
heading
to
the
grocery
store for bananas, going to his
cardiac-rehab exercise class, or having lunch with
friends. Recently
he told
us, “I’ve climbed halfway up Mount Washington!”
Given
his age and distance from New
Hampshire, such a hike was unlikely.
Each email closes with “All my love,
Dad.” When my mother was alive, that
sentiment (
情感
)was
normally reserved for her.
Now that
she is
gone, he shares those
feelings
and
his
experiences
with
us.
For
me,
what
started
as
a
simple
security
measure
has spawned a deeper
closeness.
I’m grateful my father is
still able to manage his computer and the
Internet.
I
know
the
day
will
come
w
hen
he’ll
no
longer
be
able
to
write
the
reports,
and
we’ll
have to find other
ways to keep track of one another. But until then,
they are our
way of knowing that
another normal day has begun.
24. W
hat was the father’s concern at first?
A. His safety in emergency.
B. His children living far away.
C. The management of his large house.
D. The memory of his late wife.
25. Which word can best describe the
father’s life?
A. Wealthy.
B. Colorful.
C. Lonely.
D. Meaningless.
26. What
does the underlined word “spawned” most probably
mean?
ed.
B.
Blocked.
C. Produced.
D.
Expected.
27. What can be inferred
about the author?
A. He prefers to live
with his father.
B. He fairly values
this close family ties.
C. He feels
tired of writing emails every day.
D.
He fails to find another way to communicate with
his father.

Sherpas are
known for their ability to carry heavy loads for
long distances at
high
altitudes.
Apa,
a
Sherpa,
is
from
a
village
in
Nepal
called
Thame,
which
is
also
the hometown of another
famous Sherpa
—
Tenzing
Norgay. In 1953, Tenzing and New
Zealand mountain climber Edmund Hillary
were the first two people to climb to the
top of Mount Qomolangma.
Apa never planned on becoming a famous
mountain climber. His father died when
he was 12, so he had to carry loads
uphill for mountain climbers in the Himalayas
to help his family. Later, he worked as
a cook and, eventually, he began carrying
loads
on
Qomolangma.
In
1990
,
he
climbed
to
the
top
of
Mount
Qomolangma
for
the
first
time.
So far, he has been to the top of the world
morethan 20 times, more times than
anyone else.
Over
the
years,
Apa
watched
dozens
of
expeditions(
登山队
)
leave
behind
old
tents,
oxygen
tanks,
ropes,
and
other
equipment,
He
became
increasingly
concerned
about
the
environmental
effect
of
these
expeditions
and
climate
change.
In
2009,
he
was
a
member
of The Eco Qomolangma Expedition (EQE)
whose purpose was to investigate
(
调查
)and
raise
awareness about climate change. That year, the
team showed a sign that said
“Stop
Climate Change”
at the top of
Qomolangma. They also removed over 5,000kg of
litter from Qomolangma.
These days, Apa spends much of his time
travelling and speaking on the subject
of
climate
change.
He
emphasizes
that
when
he
first
started
climbing
Qomolangma,
there
was
snow
and
ice
on
all
of
the
paths,
but
now
there
is
exposed
rock,
Melting
ice
makes
climbing more dangerous. Indeed, it is
very clear to Apa that climate change is
affecting his part of the world.
Climbing Qomolangma may be challenging, but he is
facing an even bigger challenge. Above
all, he wants to convince everyone to change
the way we treat the Earth.
28. Why does the author mention Apa’s
hometown village?
A. To show
that Apa is the fellow villager of Tenzing.
B. To tell people that it is in the
Himalyas.
C. To explain that it is a
high altitude.
D. To declare that it
has beautiful scenery.
29. What was
EQE aimed at?
A. Helping climbers carry
loads.
B. Providing climbers with
services.
C. Promoting environmental
awareness.
D. Collecting waste on
Qomolangma.
30. What made Apa
concerned about the environmental problem?
A. Climbing to the top of the world
over 20 times.
B. Attending several
climbing expeditions.
C. Seeing
quantities of rubbish on Qomolangma.
D. Reading an investigation on
environment.
31. What is the bigger
challenge facing Apa?
A. His limited
speech skill.
B. Carrying the heavy
loads uphill.
C. His poor knowledge of
climate change.
D. Persuading people
to protect the Earth.

In
the essay “
Making It in
America”
, the author Adam Davidson
relates a joke
about
how
much
a
modern
textile
mill(
纺织厂
)
has
been
automated(
自动化的
):
The
average
mill
has only two employees today, “a man and a dog.
The man is there to feed the
dog, and
the dog is there to keep the man away from the
machines.”
Da
vidson’s article, as well
as many others, points out that the reason we have
such high unemployment and declining
middle-class incomes today is partly because
of
the
advances
in
both
globalization
and
the
information
technology
revolution,
which
are more rapidly than
ever replacing labor with machines.
In
the past, workers with average skills, doing an
average job, could earn an
average
lifestyle.
But,
today,
average
is
officially
over.
Being
average
just
won’t
learn
you what it used to, as the employers have so much
more access to so much more
above
average
cheap
robotics,
cheap
software
and
cheap
automation.
Therefore,
