It’s a big change from homeless teen to Yale (耶鲁)medical school student, butperseverancepaid off for Chelesa Fearce of Clayton County, Georgia.
Fearce was a fourth grader when her mom was diagnosed (诊断) with Lymphoma (淋巴瘤).That began a hard time for the family. They had to move in and out of shelters,hotels and even the family car.
“I know I have been made stronger. I was homeless. My family slept on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day. Getting a shower, food and clean clothes was an everyday struggle,” Fearce said in a speech she gave at her high school graduation ceremony. Fearce overcame her day-to-day struggles by focusing on a better day. “I just told myself to keep working, because the future will not be like this anymore. And that helped me get through,” she told WSBTV.
Fearce was determined to be a good role model for her younger sister. She found inspiration in her late grandmother, struggling with deadly diseases, who gave Fearce emotional support. In her junior and senior year, Fearce took both high school and college courses, missing out on the free meals she depended on so she could get
to her college classes. Despite having to use her cellphone to study after the shelter lights were turned off at night, she not only graduated as valedictorian (毕业生代表) of her 2013 class with a 4.5 grade average, but was also given a ride scholarship—including a meal plan to Spelman College in Atlanta.
After graduation, she worked full time for two years at the National Institutes for Health inBethesda,Maryland,doing research on drugs. Last fall, she entered Yale and set a course to earn both a PhD and medical degree.
4. What does the underlined word “perseverance” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. instant passion. B. continuous efforts. C. great patience. D. selfless ambitions. 5. How did Fearce feel facing the sufferings?
A. Sad and disappointed. B. Stressed and defeated. C. Determined and confident. D. Joyous and contented. 6. What can we know about Fearce’s learning experience? A. Her grandma encouraged her to study medicine. B. Her high school offered her free meals and courses. C. She failed to study late due to frequent power cut. D. She gained remarkable high school achievement. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. From Homeless to Yale B. Meet American’s Top Girl C. Disabled but not Defeated
D. Chelesa Fearce: A Girl of Many Talents

Last summer, I spent four months working in France, where the company I was working for put me up in a house that didn’t have Wi-Fi. I wasn’t looking forward to it.
I soon discovered, however, that living in a house without Wi-Fi was easier than I expected.
Contact between my friends and family was significantly reduced to the odd text message here and there. I couldn’t enjoy my usual web browsing on BBC iPlayer, social media sites, keeping up to date with the news, or even wanting to know the opening hours of shops in the new area I was in.
I didn’t, however, spend a full four months without connecting to a Wi-Fi network. It was only a five minute
walk to the reception where I could connect for free and spend as much time online as I wanted to at my own leisure. It made me think , though , how unnecessary it can be , how unnecessarily we rely on it—how we perhaps rely on it too much. As a person, I was more sociable. I spent more time with my housemates instead of hiding behind a computer screen. I did other things that I wouldn’t necessarily have done if I could have browsed the web at my leisure. I read more, I cooked meals for my friends, and I even tidied up more often. Dare I say it; I learned how to live without Wi-Fi. Dare I say it; I found it was easier than I had imagined. 8. What was the writer’s first feeling when finding her house had no Wi-Fi? A. Unexpected. B. Angry. C. Shocked. D. Depressed.
9. How did the writer keep in touch with her friends and family without Wi-Fi? A. By writing regularly. B. By text message. C. By video calls. D. By telegram. 10. What was the writer’s life like without Wi-Fi? A. Dull. B. Lonely. C. Active. D. Relaxing. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A life without Wi-Fi B. Different views on the Internet C. The disadvantages of Wi-Fi D. How to use the Internet

Paper is one of our oldest, simplest and most important inventions. But it also presents a danger to the world in two important ways. First, the making of paper requires the loss of many millions of trees each year. And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the planet cannot stand such a high rate of forest loss. The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful. A large amount of wastepaper ends up in landfills, where it can produce harmful gases and finally contribute to global climate change.
One simple solution can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling. Instead of cutting down trees, recycle existing paper to feed the paper-making process.
Paper is mainly made from cellulose (纤维素),which can be used repeatedly in papermaking. Unfortunately, it also means that paper waste takes a surprisingly long time to break down in landfills. So far, trees are the only source(来源) of cellulose that can fill the great demand for paper products. Therefore, recycling paper is simply
one of the best ways to save trees. Thanks to advances in processing, recycled paper need not be the dark-color1 edstuff many of us are familiar with. It now can offer the same print performance as non-recycled paper.
Effective recycling requires a continuous effort from everyone at all levels of society. The way to begin is with education and understanding. Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling systems can be developed.
The need is real. The massive loss of trees affects everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industry to do the same. The world will be a better place for it! 12. What can we infer from the text?
A. The use of recycled paper will double in 40 years. B. Recycling paper helps relieve global climate change. C. Wastepaper can easily break down in landfills. D. There are not enough landfills for wastepaper. 13. What makes recycled paper more acceptable?
A. The great demand of trees. B. The low processing cost. C. Its dark-color1 ed feature. D. Its improved print performance. 14. What does the author propose?
A. Punishing the act of cutting trees. B. Recycling paper. C. Improving recycling system. D. Promoting paper industry. 15. How is the text mainly developed?
A. By analyzing causes and effects. B. By offering research plans and data.
C. By discussing problems and solutions. D. By comparing strengths and weaknesses. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
