I was at a new schl in a new state and needed smething slid t stand n: a place t feel grunded. I als needed t d laundry, s I walked t a nearby self-service laundry and stuffed a machine with my clthes. As I struggled t clse the washer dr, the wman wrking behind the cunter tld me t give it a gd hit with my hand. The washer did its jb, yet even after an hur, the dryer seemed t have barely warmed my clthes. I left, having decided t air-dry them n my car in the August heat.
A mnth later, I learned her name was Sandy, which she tld me after I’d helped her stp a washing machine frm mving acrss the flr. I was grading pems at a table when ne f the washers brke lse and skipped an inch int the air. I jumped t the machine and held n while she unplugged it. The next week, Sandy tld me dryer N. 8 was the fastest.
It went n like this. I’d d laundry nce a week, usually Thursday r Friday. Sandy wrked Tuesday thrugh Saturday and we’d talk small while I flded clthes. She tld me abut her sn and his grades, as well as the new dg they’d just adpted. She was fascinated that I was studying petry. She teased (開玩笑) that it was harder making a living as a pet than as a laundry attendant. Even then I knew she was prbably right.
I began t recgnize thers there: wrkers taking breaks by the dr, a mther and her baby, and even sme delivery drivers. But Sandy was the center f my cmmunity. Fr nearly three years and almst every week, I’d d laundry and talk with her. We checked n each ther, expecting the ther t be there. We asked where the ther had gne when we missed a week. There was a nte f cncern fr the ther’s absence, a nte f jy at their return.
I’d fund a place t stand n slid grund.

Climate change and increases in drught and rainstrms pse serius challenges t ur water management. An internatinal grup f scientists has brught tgether a large bdy f research n water quality in rivers wrldwide. The study shws that river water quality tends t wrsen during extreme weather events. As these events becme mre ften and severe due t climate change, ecsystem health and human access t safe water may be increasingly under threat.
The research led by Dr Michelle van Vliet f Utrecht University analysed 965 cases f river water quality changes during extreme weather such as drught, heatwaves, rainstrms, and flding. The analysis shws that in mst cases water quality tends t becme wrse during drughts and heatwaves (68%), rainstrms and flds (51%), and under lng-term changes in climate (56%). During drughts, less water is available t dilute cntaminants(稀釋污染物), while rainstrms and flds generally result in mre cntaminants that run ff frm land t rivers and streams. Imprvements r mixed respnses in water quality are als reprted fr sme cases, fr example when increased transprt f pllutants is ffset (抵消) by mre dilutin during fld events.
Water quality changes are strngly driven by changes in water temperature. Land use and ther human factrs such as wastewater treatment als shape hw this plays ut. "Understanding the cmplex interplay between climate, land use, and human drivers, which tgether influence the surces and transprt f pllutants, is crucial," says van Vliet. The research als calls fr mre data cllectin and studies f water quality in nn-Western cuntries. "We need better mnitring f water quality in Africa and Asia. Mst water quality studies nw fcus n rivers and streams in Nrth America and Eurpe."
The results f the study underline the urgent need fr a better understanding f water quality changes during extreme weather events. It sunds an alarm t us. Only then will we be able t develp effective water management strategies that can safeguard ur access t clean water and ensure ecsystem health under climate change and increasing weather extremes.

Danne Prtugal intrduced a new ygurt named Junts. Fr every pack f ygurt that a persn bught, he wuld dnate ygurt t a family in need. Danne had dne its research. Increasingly, peple say they want t buy frm brands that give them a sense f purpse. Surely a ygurt that helped the needy wuld be appealing. But Junts was a failure. Despite sinking millins int a marketing campaign, Danne pulled Junts frm the market nly mnths after it was launched. Nw the same prduct is simply marketed as a tasty ygurt.
What happened? T find the reasn behind Junts’ failure, Lawrence Williams and his clleagues did an experiment where they shwed peple sme prducts and asked these peple t pick ne ptin. They reminded sme t fcus n the “purpseful and valuable” aspect while thers were tld t “enjy themselves” and fcus n “delight and pleasure.” They fund that participants wh priritized meaning preferred the less expensive prduct when cmpared with peple wh put pleasure in the first place.
S why were meaning-seekers cheaping ut? Lawrence Williams asked participants t explain their decisin-making t find ut. He learned that meaning-riented peple were nt thinking abut hw the prduct they might buy culd bring meaning t their lives. Instead, they were ccupied with what else they culd d with their mney.
I am all fr peple making wise and strategic financial chices. But cheap prducts can create many prblems. Inexpensive ptins ften d nt last as lng as the higher-end nes. As a result, we shp mre ften, which is ultimately wrse fr ur wallets. Plus, that spending pattern can d a greater damage t the envirnment. Thanks in part t fast fashin, peple buy 60 percent mre clthing tday than they did 15 years ag. The fashin industry alne emits mre greenhuse gases than internatinal flights and maritime (海洋的) shipping cmbined.

There are many nline and in-persn curses prmising t teach a “native accent”. But is it really necessary t sund exactly like a native speaker? Sme experts say it is nt. Eusebia V. Mnt leads the Accent Mdificatin(修正) Prgram at the University f Maryland’s Department f Hearing & Speech Sciences. Mnt talked abut it t reprters.
Students cme t the prgram fr ne r tw schl terms. They meet in a grup fr 90 minutes a week. Each student meets with ne ther student and a “dctr” fr mre individual wrk. Altgether the prgram amunts t abut 60 hurs f learning in class. Mnt says the rate f prgress abslutely depends n the type f accent it is, hw lng they’ve been speaking English and hw ften they speak English.
Mnt says, “I view accent as the spread f culture; the spread f a persn’s individual identity — and I dn’t wrk t remve any part f culture frm an individual.”
Students will mst prbably wrk in English-speaking envirnments when they leave schl. The prgram teaches them tls fr this. Fr example, they learn hw t give an “elevatr pitch” — a shrt descriptin f an idea — and hw t discuss their research. They als practice interviewing and giving presentatins at wrk.
Mnt says that there are a few methds fr mdifying accent, but mst have the same basis. One methd is called the Cmptn Methd. Arthur J. Cmptn develped the methd fr English learners wh knw English vcabulary and grammar fairly well. It begins with a test t find ut hw the student’s native language affects different areas f prnunciatin. Then learners use practice materials t recrd their wn vice and cmpare their prnunciatin attempts t recrdings f a native speaker.
Anther methd is the Tmatis Methd, which uses special headphnes and includes listening t electrnically mdified vices and asks students t find the difference between their prnunciatin and the vices they hear. This methd is als used t cure children wh have mental cnditins that can cause difficulty in language learning.
Mnt’s final advice t English learners is nt t expect t sund exactly like a native speaker. And remember: even native English speakers d nt all speak alike!

解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中 Students will mst prbably wrk in English-speaking envirnments when they leave schl. The prgram teaches them tls fr this. (學(xué)生離開學(xué)校后很可能會在說英語的環(huán)境中工作。這個項目會教他們一些實用方法。)可知，口音矯正程序教授學(xué)生如何在說英語的環(huán)境中進(jìn)行交流。故選D項。
17．答案： C
解析：詞句猜測題。劃線詞句后半部分“a shrt descriptin f an idea—and hw t discuss their research(——對一個想法的簡短描述——以及如何討論他們的研究)”說明這是一個有效表達(dá)，從而推知劃線詞句“Fr example, they learn hw t give an’ elevatr pitch(例如，他們學(xué)習(xí)如何進(jìn)行elevatr pitch)”其中劃線短語意思是“有效地將想法傳達(dá)給他人”。故選C項
18．答案： B
解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段中“It begins with a test t find ut hw the student’s native language affects different areas f prnunciatin. Then learners use practice materials t recrd their wn vice and cmpare their prnunciatin attempts t recrdings f a native speaker. (首先要做一個測試，找出學(xué)生的母語是如何影響不同發(fā)音領(lǐng)域的。然后，學(xué)習(xí)者使用練習(xí)材料錄下自己的聲音，并將自己的發(fā)音嘗試與母語人士的錄音進(jìn)行比較。)”和第六段中“Anther methd is the Tmatis Methd, which uses special headphnes and includes listening t electrnically mdified vices and asks students t find the difference between their prnunciatin and the vices they hear.(另一種方法是Tmatis方法，它使用特殊的耳機(jī)，包括聽電子矯正的聲音，并要求學(xué)生找到他們的發(fā)音和他們聽到的聲音之間的差異。)”可知，Cmptn方法和Tmatis方法都采用比較的方法。故選B項。
19．答案： C
解析：主旨大意題。通讀全文，尤其根據(jù)第三段中Mnt所說“I view accent as the spread f culture; the spread f a persn’s individual identity — and I dn’t wrk t remve any part f culture frm an individual.”(我認(rèn)為口音是文化的傳播；一個人的個人身份的傳播——我不想把文化的任何一部分從個人身上移走。)可知，Mnt認(rèn)為口音是文化和個人身份的延伸，再結(jié)合文中專家介紹的幾種矯正口音的方法可知，本文闡明了改變口音的同時要保持自己原有的身份的觀點。C項符合主題，故選C項。
20．答案：①-⑤BGCAE
解析：這是一篇說明文。文章主要講述一些如何避免批評別人的方法。
①上文“Criticism is harmful t healthy relatinships.（批評對健康的關(guān)系是有害的。）”說明人際交往中批評別人不利于關(guān)系的健康發(fā)展。下文“First, wrk n changing yur wn behavir. Then, find effective ways t cmmunicate if smene bthers yu.（首先，努力改變你自己的行為。然后，如果有人打擾你，找到有效的溝通方式。）”給出一些具體的解決方法。B項“Hwever, there are ways t avid criticism.（然而，有一些方法可以避免批評。）”承上啟下，符合語境。故選B項。
②上文“Think befre yu speak.（三思之后再說話。）”說明該段給出的建議是說話之前應(yīng)該好好思考。G項“When yu want t dish ut criticism, pause and cnsider whether yu really need t say anything.（當(dāng)你想要提出批評時，停下來想想是否真的需要說點什么。）”是對該段主旨的進(jìn)一步解釋，說明想要批評之前應(yīng)該先思考，符合語境。故選G項。
③該段主旨句“Fcus n psitives.（關(guān)注積極的方面。）”以及空前“Oftentimes, being critical results frm hw yu’re chsing t see a situatin. Everyne has shrtcmings. Hwever, the vast majrity f peple have gd qualities that utweigh bad nes.（通常，批判源于你選擇如何看待一個情況。每個人都有缺點。然而，絕大多數(shù)人都有好的品質(zhì)，而不是壞的。）”說明該段主要講述每個人都有缺點，然而大多數(shù)人的優(yōu)點多于缺點，人們應(yīng)該多關(guān)注別人積極的方面。C項“Try t fcus n a persn’s psitive qualities ver their negative nes.（試著關(guān)注一個人的積極品質(zhì)而不是消極品質(zhì)。）”承接上文，其中的“fcus n a persn’s psitive qualities”和段首“Fcus n psitives”相呼應(yīng)，說明我們應(yīng)該多關(guān)注一個人的積極品質(zhì)。故選C項。
④上文“Cmmunicating Mre Effectively（更有效地溝通）”說明該部分給出的避免批評的方法是進(jìn)行有效溝通。下文“Sme peple have issues that may need addressing. Hwever, feedback is very different frm criticism. When addressing an issue, fcus n suggestins yu can make t help anther persn imprve, which is mre effective than criticizing.（有些人可能有需要解決的問題。然而，反饋與批評是截然不同的。在解決一個問題的時候，把重點放在你可以提出的幫助他人提高的建議上，這比批評更有效。）”說明該段主要講述幫助別人解決問題時，反饋并且給出建議比批評更有效。A項“Give feedback rather than criticism.（給予反饋而不是批評。）”置于句首，概括該段主旨，符合語境。故選A項。
⑤段首句“Ask fr what yu want directly.（直接說出你想要的東西。）”說明該段主要講述在有效溝通中需要直接表達(dá)自己的需求。上文“Inefficient cmmunicatin ften results in heavy criticism.（低效的溝通往往會招致嚴(yán)厲的批評。）”說明無效的溝通會導(dǎo)致批評。下文“Make sure t ask fr what yu want in a direct, respectful manner. This will eliminate (消除) the need fr criticism.（一定要以一種直接、有禮貌的方式提出你的要求。這將消除批評的必要。）”說明直接提出需求是有效的溝通方式，會消除溝通過程中的批評。E項“If yu’re nt telling smene what yu want, that persn cannt be expected t knw.（如果你不告訴別人你想要什么，就不能指望那個人知道。）”承上啟下，說明在有效溝通中要直接說出自己的需求，否則別人將不會知道，這將導(dǎo)致無效溝通和批評。故選E項。

②考查冠詞。句意：韓新瑞，一個哈利·波特迷，角色扮演的是赫敏，她說：“準(zhǔn)備工作很復(fù)雜，但很有趣?！眆an為可數(shù)名詞，且此處為泛指，故用不定冠詞a,表示“一個”。

⑦考查動詞時態(tài)、語態(tài)和主謂一致。句意：除了角色扮演，學(xué)生們還被鼓勵用優(yōu)美的筆跡寫出小說中的一些名言。本文時態(tài)為一般過去時，本句陳述過去的事情，也用一般過去時。此處主語the students為復(fù)數(shù)形式，與動詞encurage為被動關(guān)系，故用一般過去時的被動語態(tài)。
⑧考查連詞。句意：沉迷于夢想但是忘記生活是不好的。上文的“be bsessed with dreams"與“frget t live"為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故填連詞but。
