Jane Addams (1860—1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907—1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor (1930—present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U. S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913—2005)
On December 1,1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott.

28、Catching a common cold in the summertime can be even more miserable than suffering the average winter cold. Although a person is four times more likely to catch a cold in the more frigid months of the year, cold viruses are in the environment seven days a week, and 365 days a year. The common cold never takes a holiday, although it may end up destroying yours.
The common cold can be caused by any one of hundreds of different viruses. That's why there is no vaccine (疫苗). In the warm and wet summer months, it is harder for airborne illnesses to spread, since water drops in the air are attracted to tiny viruses, weighing them down and ultimately grounding them. The influenza (流行性感冒) virus survives better in chilly, rather than warm weather. This is why influenza is a winter illness.
The common cold, although it can be spread through the air, is more often spread through touch. People are also more often in close, indoor contact during colder months, making it easier to spread viruses both by air and by touch.
Summer colds do still occur. The air in airconditioned environments dries out your nose, where cold viruses grow, making it easier for them to influence your health. On hot days, people flock to airconditioned environments. The workplace is one example, where many people repeatedly touch the same objects, leaving behind viruses.
How to prevent a summer cold? One of the easiest and best defenses against many types of diseases that spread by touch is thorough and frequent hand washing. Clean frequentlytouched surfaces in the home or in the office, such as doorknobs, handles, and light switches. When the weather is nice, spend time outdoors enjoying summer!
【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. It is near impossible for people to catch a cold in summer.
B. Cold viruses exist around us all the time.
C. People are more likely to catch a cold during a holiday.
D. Summer colds are totally different from winter colds.
【2】According to the passage, influenza viruses ________．
A. survive better in dry environments
B. spread more quickly through touch
C. prefer outdoor environments to indoor environments
D. spread more easily in summer
【3】What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. How to cure a cold.
B. What causes a cold.
C. Where to stay in summer.
D. Why people get summer colds.

A. use airconditioners less frequently

D. go to crowded places less often

31、Directions：Read the following passage and fill in the blanks to complete the summary. No more than eight words for each blank.
The school that is changing American education
Two years ago, I visited a school in Brooklyn called P-TECH, the Pathways in Technology early college high school, which seemed very much like the future of education to me. It knitted together educators and job creators, giving kids not only a high school degree, but a two-year associate degree and a job guarantee at one of the country’s top blue-chip firms, IBM.
The latest great national leap forward in secondary education was during the post W.W. Ⅱ period, when state governments decided that high school education, previously optional, should be compulsory in order to ensure the kind of skilled workforce needed to compete in a new, higher tech industrial era. Now, many leaders---including the President, the education Secretary, scores of blue-chip CEOs and executives, and most top educators---believe we’re once again at such a turning point. When it comes to high school, an increasing number of them buy into the idea that not only should educators and job creators b e much more closely connected, but that as Stanley Litow, the IBM executive behind the program puts it,“six should be the new four.”The push for all American kids to have a post high school future, like Tennessee governor Haslam’s recent calls for two years of free community college for every student in the state, seems to come almost daily.
The statistics support it. A Four-year high school degree these days only guarantees a $15 an hour future. According to projections by the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University, the U.S. economy will create some 47-million job openings in the decade ending 2018, but nearly two-thirds will require some post secondary education. The Center projects that only 36% of American jobs will be filled by people with only a 4-year high school degree---half of what that number was in the 1970s. What’s more, the cost of not trading up educationally could be disastrous---workers with an associate degree will earn 73% more than those with only a high school diploma.
Many leaders maintain that children should 【1】 and that high schools should 【2】. The idea is based on 【3】. On one hand, more jobs will require 【4】. On the other, an associate degree will ensure 【5】.
32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was ten years old, I was a grade four primary school student in a small town. I had a happy time at school because I had a few good friends there. We usually spent our spare time together, doing our homework, going to the amusement park, playing with our pets, and sharing our happiness and sorrows together. But everything changed when my parents decided to change their jobs and moved to a bigger city. I even had no time to say good-bye to my old friends and teachers.
As I moved to the new city, I began my school life in a totally new school with new surroundings, new teachers and new classmates. During the first week, I felt lonely when I was at school. My classmates knew each other, but they didn’t know me, which added to my loneliness and sadness. That week day after day, I was sitting on my seat, pretending to be reading. How I secretly wished that someone would come to me and introduce himself to me or even play a trick on me, but disappointingly, nobody came.
Then one day, when my parents sent me to the bus station and said good bye to me, I didn’t get on the bus to school as usual. Instead, I walked and walked on the street, looking at the beautiful window displays and forgetting everything, with no worry about the new school, new teachers and new classmates. Then my empty stomach stopped me and I used my pocket money to have a bowl of noodles in a small restaurant. It was noon at the time, but still I didn’t want to go to school or go home. So I went to a park and sat on the bench, staring at the sky. And then I had a nap. When I woke up, I decided to go back to my hometown, where my former teachers and friends lived. So I went to the railway station. There I was stopped by a policeman, who asked for my ID card, which I didn’t have at the time. Then the policeman called someone and I was asked to stay with him.
