2．Regrets can spoil a career.For Bas Timmer they were a turning point.A young Dutch fashion designer just out of school in 2014，Timmer was working on a promising direction as a cold weather-gear specialist when he tripped over a homeless man one cold night.He thought about giving the man one of his signature fashion hoodies（連帽衫），but—to his lasting shame—paused for fear of harming his brand.A few months later a friend's father，also homeless，died of hypothermin（體溫過低）. "I felt guilty，" says Timmer. "I had the opportunity to help，and I did nothing."
To make up for it，he devoted his brand to helping others.Rejecting his first idea of hoodies for the homeless as not good enough，he designed around the requirements for life on the streets：waterproof，warm，portable and good for sleeping.He presented his newly-designed product to a local homeless man，who was immediately attracted by it.That's when the whole Sheltersuit idea started.
Six years later，Timmer，30，is still handing out Sheltersuits.So far，he has distributed 12，500 to homeless people around the world.The suits are made out of donated and upcycled materials，and the manufacturing costs are covered by donations.
Timmer is aware that his invention is no solution for homelessness，which he knows is not going to go away anytime soon.Still，he says，it's better than doing nothing.
Timmer hasn't entirely given up on his dreams of designing for a commercial brand.Donations alone can't help the world's 100 million homelessness，but a globally recognized brand might. "By selling beautiful products that keep people warm and dry and protected.I can help others stay warm and dry and protected. "

（2）Which of the following factors may NOT contribute to Timmer's idea of Sheltersuit？
A．He intended to improve the market value of his brand.
B．He desired to make up for the regret of not helping a homeless man.
C．His first idea of hoodies failed to meet demands for homeless street life.
D．His new design received recognition from a local homeless man.
（3）Which of the following can best describe Timmer？
A．Clever and generous.
B．Wise and ambitious.
C．Energetic and wealthy.
D．Considerate and generous.
（4）What can be a suitable title for the passage？

3．Created in the 1920s by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott，the architect who designed Waterloo Bridges，the red public telephone boxes，which can be seen all over the UK，are regarded as one of the most typical symbols of this country.
However，pubic phones have had their day despite their lovely housings.While coin-operated and card-operated telephones are on the edge of extinction，mobile phones are playing a significant role in people's lives.Though they are more portable，flexible and extensively used，mobile phones have their kryptonite：battery life.Instead of trashing the phone booths，a project was then promoted to recycle and reuse them.To be consistent with the environment-friendly preference，people are allowed to rent and repurpose the red phone boxes.In this way，they are making an unusual comeback.
When you take a walk down Tottenham Court Road in London and find your mobile phone in a low-battery condition，there happens to be a green option for you.The abandoned phone booths are being repurposed as free charging stations powered by solar energy.
Inside the booths，which are newly painted green，there are various adaptors that can be connected to different brands and models of mobile phones.Just walk in，plug your phone in，and charge it up whenever it needs to be supplied with power.Most people would stay inside the boxes while they charge.Fully aware of this when launching the project.Solarbox can now reach a large quantity of audience by displaying ads on solid equipment.Its advertisers include well-known companies like Uber.Yet 30% of advertising space is reserved for local community projects.
Apart from transforming phone booths into solar-powered charging stations，other forms of transformation can be found in and outside the UK.For example，there is medical equipment or mini-libraries adapted from phone booths，while in America，thousands of phone booths have been transformed into wi-fi hot spots.
（1）What does the underlined word "kryptonite" in paragraph 2 refer to？
A．Feature.
B．Limit.
C．Characteristics.
D．Lack.
（2）What do we know about the phone booths project？
A．It can save all the disappearing phone boxes.
B．It enables people to transform their phones for free.
C．It is a win-win strategy for both the communities and the companies.
D．It was launched mainly because of people's affection for the phone booths.
（3）What is the author's attitude towards the phone booths project？
A．Skeptical.
B．Opposed.
C．Favorable.
D．Objective.
（4）What is the text mainly about？
A．The red abandoned phone booths in the UK are turning green.
B．The phone booths in the UK are being rebuilt on a large scale.
C．The UK phone booths are giving way to the mobile phones.
D．The UK phone booths are transformed for different purposes.組卷：6引用：2難度：0.5 -
4．Everyone needs a buddy，even jye.ai.Sharks are often described as Hollywood monsters，the lone wolves hiding in the deep，hunting for prey.But that description of sharks is increasingly out of step with what scientists are learning about the animals.Instead，they say，some species of sharks are social creatures who return day after day to a group of the same fellow sharks.
Papastamatious's team studied gray reef sharks living in the waters off Palmyra Atoll Island.They attached small location transmitters to track the animals' movements around the reef.After tracking the sharks for four years，the researchers found that the same groups of sharks frequently returned to the same parts of the reef repeatedly.They also found that some of the groups stuck together longer than previous studies have observed.
The sharks might be motivated to stay together，Papastamatious says，because it makes hunting for food easier. "If we hang out together and I see something，then you can come and try and take advantage of that，" he says. "And alternatively，if you see something，then I can try and take advantage of that."
He emphasizes that the sharks don't hunt together，but says that as long as the group isn't too large—which would raise competition and conflict-socializing appears to benefit the sharks.And that may be one of the factors that led to sociality in the species.
David Shiffman，who studies sharks' ecology and conservation at Arizona State University，says he was surprised to learn the sharks stuck together for so long. "I mean，I don't have a lot of friends I do that with，" he jokes.
Sharks are amazing creatures，Shiffman says.In addition to knowing where to grab a bite by watching their friends，he says，some species of sharks can also learn to solve simple puzzles，just by watching other sharks solve them.Given their intelligence and social abilities，he says perhaps it's time to drop prejudices about sharks. "It turns out that they are a lot smarter than most people think，and they have come complex ability to process their environment and learn and change，" Shiffman says.
（1）Why do some sharks keep together？
A．To go back to the same reef.
B．To have fun.
C．To scare other sharks away.
D．To hunt for food with ease.
（2）In which group may sharks like socializing？
A．A large group.
B．A competitive group.
C．A small group.
D．A group filled with conflicts.
（3）What can be inferred about sharks from their behaviour？
A．They are still developing.
B．They are intelligent.
C．They are hiding themselves.
D．They are aggressive.
（4）Where is this text probably from？
A．A science magazine.
B．A travel brochure.
C．An encyclopedia.
D．A news remark.組卷：7引用：3難度：0.5

5．Ways to Get Out of a Bad Mood Practice gratitude and positivity
Practice gratitude as a way to rid your bad mood.Reflect on your day or your week and think about （or better yet，write down） the good things that happened. （1）Start small by appreciating the little things in life：the smell of coffee，the kindness of a stranger，the sound of your baby laughing.Gratitude can be just as addictive as a bad mood.
Boost your mood by taking exercise
Most people experience an improved mood within five minutes of exercise.The most notable shift that exercise creates is the release of four notable chemicals into your brain：serotonin，dopamine，endorphins and norepinephrine.These chemicals are released into your body and are designed to make you feel happy.（2）If you've gotten stuck in a bad mood，try an exercise class or go on a long walk or run.You'll be surprised how much it helps!
Meditate to relax your body and mind
Meditation is another way to use your amazing body to work with you to help you boost your way out of a bad mood.It makes you stop and face those feelings and relax the tension that they are causing.Meditation can give you a break from your current environment and allow you to experience a mental refresher.To meditate，find a quiet place to sit comfortably.Take slow，deep breaths.（3）Try to picture your bad mood leaving your body with every exhalation.
Have a good rest
Studies have shown that even partial sleep loss has a significant effect on mood.University of Pennsylvania researchers found that subjects who were limited to only 4.5 hours of sleep a night for one week reported feeling more stressed，angry，sad，and mentally exhausted.（4）
Connect with your support system
This one is incredibly important and often underestimated.When we feel low，we feel disconnected and unvalued by those around us.Reaching out and talking out your bad mood to a trusted friend in your support network really helps you get out of a bad mood.（5）
A.You don't have to start off big.
B.In fact，they are called the happiness chemicals!
C.It is a good way to distract you from the bad mood.
D.Focus on your breathing and on clearing your mind of other thoughts.
E.Focus on the positive aspects of your life and acknowledge your gratitude.
F.When the subjects restarted normal sleep，they reported obvious improvement in mood.
G.It helps us process our feelings，put them into perspective and obtain advice and support.組卷：10引用：2難度：0.5
