During the War of 1812, Wilson sold meat to Americantroops. Wilson labeled the meat barrels (桶) US. This meant thatit was for the army. At that time, US was not used to mean "United States". An officer asked what the US on the barrels meant. A soldier replied, "Uncle Sam", meaning Samuel Wilson.The Uncle Sam image (形象) today shows a man with a beard, a stars and stripes (星条旗) top hat, and a suit. Thomas Nast created this image in about 1838. It represented the government in Nast's political cartoons. Some people believe that Nast based his image on Dan Rice, a popular entertainer. Rice performed while wearing a top hat and suit.Others think it was James M. Flagg that drew the most famous image of Uncle Sam in 1917, during World War I. It shows a serious man pointing a finger at the viewer and says "Uncle Sam wants you". Flagg drew this enduring image to encourage Americans to join the U.S. Army. It has been used for this purpose ever since.Today, Uncle Sam is a symbol of the United States that is recognized around the world.21.

He was such a life-changer to me that I left that class determined never to underachieve again. He not only taught me to perform better and achieve more success than expected, he, more importantly, taught me to think. He convinced me, as much by example as words that it was my moral obligation(义务) to do so and to serve others.Neither of us could know how our relationship would evolve over the years. When I came back to Bohunt to teach English, I worked for Dr. Whitworth, the department chair. My discussion with him was like graduate seminars in adolescent development, classroom management and school leadership.After several years, I was named department chair, and our relationship shifted again. I thought that it might be awkward chairing the department, since all of my former English teachers were still there, but Dr. Whitworth supported me throughout. As the former chair, he knew when to give me advice about curriculum, texts and personnel, and when to let me chart my own course.In 1997, I needed his opinion about leaving Bohunt to become principal at another school. If he had asked me to stay at Bohunt, I might have. Instead, he encouraged me to seize the opportunity.Five years ago, I became the principal of Bohunt. Once again, Dr. Whitworth was there for me, letting me know that I could count on him.I have learned from him that great teachers have an inexhaustible (用不完的) wealth of lessons to teach.24.

Though the concept of freecycling is much older, the network began in 2003 in Tucson, Arizona with only a few dozen people. Today, The Freecycle Network is a non-profit organization serving to help people and reduce the amount of waste going into landfills across the globe.The concept behind freecycling is finding new uses for old things rather than throwing them out. Sometimes household items and appliances are replaced even though there are plenty of uses left in them. The primary rule of freecycling is that the item has to be given away, not sold. Taking old, usable items has several benefits, but finding someone to take used items can be difficult. When The Freecycle Network was established in 2003, it became possible for people to use the power of the Internet to further this concept. People from all over the globe can join The Freecycle Network and post their requests to give or take a specific item. The Freecycle Network is primarily sponsored（发起）by Waste Management and the Recycle America Alliance and has groups around the world including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, and manyother countries. There are hundreds of thousands of members around the world and many of them are trying to make a difference. By creating a central place for people to check for freecycle items in their area, it is easier for people to find free, used stuff and the number of items going into landfills is also reduced.28. What is the concept behind freecycling?A. To make full use of old things.B. To make old things last longer.C. To make money by using old things.D. To prevent waste harming the environment.29. Which of the following is TRUE about The Freecycle Network?A. It was started by the government.B. People all over the world can join its network.C. The concept of freecycling wasn’t known until 2003.D. It has earned a lot of money since the network started.30. What can we infer from the second paragraph?A. It's easy to find a new use for old things.B. A few people are willing to take old things.C. Freecycling can’t exist without the Internet.D. The Internet makes the concept of freecycling more popular.31. The passage is mainly about ________________.A. how to develop the concept of freecycling.B. what use can be made of old things.C. how to join the Freecycle Network.D. what the Freecycle Network is.DTokyo — With wages across Asia rising, Japan is gradually losing its appeal as a destination for foreign workers.The number of foreign workers in Japan is on track to top 1 million by the end of this year, but this trend may not last, even if the country adopts a more welcoming immigration policy. One reason is that South Koreaand Taiwan are fast gaining on Japan in terms of wages and other working conditions for foreign workers. Another is that job opportunities are improving in China, a major source of overseas workers in Japan.The owner of a long-established Chinese restau rant in Tokyo’s Akasaka district is already feeling the effects of these changes. When he was looking for a new part-time worker recently, a young Chinese application demanded a monthly wage of 300000 yen($2833), twice the amount he has traditionally paid such employees.“I can’t afford monthly wages that high,” the owner grumbled (抱怨).The applicant said the restaurant’s current pay level is not different from what he could earn back in China. The average monthly income of workers in Shanghai reached 5451 yuan ($813) in 2014 and has continued to rise.Rising wages in China are also affecting rural Japan, where a shrinking working-age population is causing serious problems. Chinese nationals once accounted for more than 70% of foreign workers here. But the minimum monthly wage for full-time workers there is about 110000 yen, not much different from pay levels in urban areas of China.32. Why is Japan losing its attraction to foreign workers?A. Because the economy of Japan has serious problems.B. Because Japan adopted a more welcoming immigration policy.C. Because China restricts its citizens from working in Japan.D. Because employers in Japan can’t afford higher wages.33. The current pay level of the Chinese restaurant mentioned in thepassage is most probably ________.A. 90000 yenB. 150000 yenC. 190000 yenD. 300000 yen34. According to the passage, what is causing serious problems in rural Japan?A. The number of people in working age is declining.B. The working conditions in rural Japan is much worse than large cities.C. Chinese workers are so greedy that they often demand high wages.D. Workers from urban areas of China don’t like living in the countryside.35. What does the passage suggest?A. Workers from South Korea and Taiwan are leaving Japan.B. Working conditions in China is now better than Japan.C. The average income of workers is increasing in China.D. Japanese people fear that Chinese workers will take their jobs. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
