Cling…Clang…Clank. From inside my flat, I winced (皱起眉头) at the noise my parents were making as they sorted (分类) bottles and cans out on the balcony. I called to my 13 in Chinese, “How many do you have this time?” “Eight hundred and six pieces, that’s $40.30!” she answered. I’d been living in my Los Angeles flat for over four years when my parents came for a six-month visit from China. I’d 14 noticed that the bottles and cans they’d collected on the road were worth 5 cents (美分) each. When their stay with us ended, I felt free, though I was a supporter of environmental 15 in fact.
By the time my daughter began school, I was expected to raise money for the school. I felt very stressed. How could I work out the problem? 16 , a good idea came across my mind: how about uniting (结合) the two — environmental education and raise money? I joined an organization called LACES. It had 17 1,600 students, parents and teachers. If my two elderly parents could 18 $300 in six months from recycling (回收), why couldn’t we multiply (乘以) that number by at least 800? My team organized a day for students and parents to 19 bottles and cans directly to school. We called it the Green for Green program. The first one raised only $145. But we planned more programs. With each one, the numbers started to look 20 : $145…$400 …$481. The more success we had, the more people joined our team.
Today, LACES teachers keep boxes in their classrooms for bottles and cans. Students collect recyclables and 21 them in boxes. Parents collect at their offices. LACES parents have told me that where they used to see litter, they see 22 . Since the LACES Green for Green program started in 2011, we have raised $15,500 for the school and recycled about 75,000 pounds of waste.
I believe that our effort (努力) is followed by the others in the community, and that the result is multiplied. I used to 23 my parents’ recycling project during their visit here. Now I laugh at myself for getting the benefit (益处) from their clever ideas. They may never 24 anyone beyond their family. However, their small effort has led to big change, one that inspires (激励) family, friends, children, and even strangers. ( ) 13. A. wife B. father C. daughter D. mother ( ) 14. A. seldom B. often C. usually D. always ( ) 15. A. project B. education C. subject D. plan ( ) 16. A. Strongly B. Unluckily C. Suddenly D. Sadly ( ) 17. A. more than B. less than C. better than D. worse than ( ) 18. A. accept B. find C. receive D. raise ( ) 19. A. give B. Bring C. save D. collect ( ) 20. A. brighter B. higher C. stronger D. wider ( ) 21. A. send B. move C. throw D. store (存放) ( ) 22. A. waste B. bottles C. money D. cans ( ) 23. A. agree with B. argue with C. laugh at D. cry at ( ) 24. A. influence B. help C. educate D. love
三、阅读理解（共26分，每小题2分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
(A) To me, the concept(概念) of home changes along with my age all the time.
In my childhood, home was a number of calls. It seems that I had more free time than today’s children. I didn’t have to show up in front of my parents right after school, instead I would go to play with my classmates who lived in the neighborhood. We played like mad until dinner was ready
2
and our parents called “Come back! Come home for supper!” Days passed by as I grew up in the company of those calls which are still echoing(回响) in my ears even now.
In a short while, my childhood was gone. When a thin layer of hair(胡须) began to grow around the corners of my mouth, home became a place I tried to run away from.
As I read more and more, my world opened up, larger than before me. The bed I used to sleep in became too small, and words of care from my parents began to sound meaningless. How I wished I could have a space of my own someday! Later I was joined the army and put on the green uniform. During my service days, home was the series of letters I received one after another. My most homesick moments were when I read those letters from my family.
When I got a job, I began to get “hurt”, to rise and fall in a sea of people, and to understand that you can’t share all your pains with other people, even with your best friends. So again, another wave of homesickness came over me. When I was badly hurt, I imagined myself flying home on wings. Pushing open the door, I let tears flow down my face. At that moment I felt that as large as the world was, what I needed was only the familiar smell of home and the unchanged view outside the window of my old house…
……
Although I already have much life experience behind me, I know there is still a long way ahead and my concept of home will go on developing. But already I have come to see that home is where we can find the true meaning of all the busy rush life. What makes the concept different is that sometimes it refers to a person’s home and sometimes to the home of many, many people. ( ) 25. What does the underlined word “company” mean in Chinese in Paragraph 2? A. 公司 B. 陪伴 C. 友情 D. 氛围 ( ) 26. From the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. He misses his life in his childhood. B. He lives a happy when he studies at school. C. He enjoys himself during his service days in the army. D. He can share his feelings--happiness and sadness-- with his buddies. ( ) 27. From the whole passage, what will talk about in the following passage?
A. His marriage B. Being a parent
C. His job D. The last years of his life ( ) 28. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Missing my parents and home B. His home he tries to run away from C. A changing concept of home D. A developing home
(B)
The sun has begun to set and I hang up the smile I’ve worn all day, though I will make sure it is the first thing I put back on the next morning just in case (以防) it is “that day.” I want her to see me at my very best.
As usual, I eat dinner, clean the house, write—the usual daily things. And then I lay down hoping to fall asleep quickly, so my new day will hurry up and arrive. A new day with a completely new sun. But as I lay there and wait for the world to turn half way around, I think about her. And sometimes I
smile, and sometimes that smile will turn into a snicker(窃笑), and then often that snicker will turn into a burst of laughter.

And then there are times I get that lump(肿块) in my throat and that tight feeling in my chest, and sometimes that I can’t stand that feeling and begins to turn into a tear, and often that tear increases greatly itself and I can no longer fight the feeling and I lose the battle. Then somehow through either the joy or the sadness I drift and find myself asleep. Then the dreams begin and keep me company until my new day arrives.
When I am awake it’s with such excitement because I tell myself this could be the day that every other day has led up to and the first day of the rest of my life. I quickly wear my smile because I really want her to see me at my very best. Then I look out the window because, even though I know it’s dawn, I still have to confirm I’ve been given another chance to find her.
And there it is…the sun, even when it’s cloudy; somehow I still see it. And it smiles at me and I say, “Thank you,” and I smile back.
Thank you for the sun, which began my new day. Thank you for feeling confident when I got up this morning that I would find her in this new day. But most of all, thank you for me not having to ever wait on another sunrise because whenever I want to see it, I will look at her and there it shall always be, in her eyes; she will forever hold it for me.
She is my sunrise, my dawn, my new day.

Staring(盯着...) at a computer monitor for hours on end has become part of the modern workday. Middle and high school students, as well as upper elementary students, find that most of their homework should also be completed on the computer. Add during the school day, our children are spending hours and hours on the computer or tablet(平板电脑) every week.
Many parents doubts the effect that this computer time has on
their child’s eyesight. In fact, the medical community has called the effect a computer screen has on the eyes as “Computer Vision Syndrome(综合症)”. Computer Vision Syndrome, or CVS, is not one specific eye problem. Instead, CVS is not the eye problem, but a pain experienced by computer users.
CVS symptoms include blurred(模糊的) vision, double(重复的) vision, eye irritation(刺激感), headaches, and back or neck pain. These effects are the same experienced by a person who has watched too much TV, read a book for too long, or played one too many video games. In fact, most of CVS symptoms can be found in Asian students who study for many hours a night. BBC News reports a “massive rise in Asian eye damage(亚洲人视力严重下降)”. The article goes on to say that, “the \greatly surprising rise\
