A Virginia Burger King employee is going viral for her act of kindness. Nineteen－year－old Alexis Easter, who works at the fast－food chain in Mechanicsville, was photographed escorting an elderly customer to his car.
The man, known to Easter as Mr. John, is a regular at the restaurant.
“When he's done, I help him to the car because he has a terrible back. When we get to his car, we talk and I make sure he's safe，” the employee told WTVR. Easter's simple act caught the attention of a passer－by, who snapped a photo of the young woman and her customer, which she shared on social media.
“Shout out to the cashier at the Mechanicsville Burger King, making this world a little brighter，” Elizabeth Chandler wrote on Facebook. Chandler said she was so impressed by what Easter was doing for the man.
“Seeing her help this gentleman was so heart－warming. It's so seldom to see people going out of their way for others and expecting nothing in return. Since posting this I learned that Alexis is only 19 and does this on a regular basis for any customer in need，” Chandler told Yahoo.
Easter always tries to do what she can to provide the best customer service.
“Always go out of your way to help others，” she told WTVR.
Chandler, who also frequents this Burger King, said Easter isn't the only employee who goes above and beyond their job description.
“That's the culture at that Burger King. Every employee I have ever seen goes so far out of their way for everyone. Another employee named Monica hands out plaques(徽章) to those going through hard times, including my grandmother when she was going through treatment for cancer，” she told WTVR.
(D)24. Who brought so much attention to Alexi Easter?
A. Her colleagues.

(B)25. Easter's act of kindness is impressive because________． A. it's her duty to help the elderly customers
B. she interrupted her own business to help others C. she seldom helps regulars for free D. it's widely reported
【解析】 从第七段第二句It's so seldom to see people going out of their way for others and expecting nothing in return.看出帮助别人并不是义务，而是一件超出义务范围的事情。
(C)26. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Easter was bothered by the Facebook post. B. Elizabeth Chandler works for Yahoo.

Anyone with a passing interest in their health will be able to rattle__off a few of the major vitamins, and possibly take an educated guess at what they do. Vitamin C, found in oranges and other fruit and vegetables, is important for wound repair. And the much－talked－about ‘sunshine’ Vitamin D, produced by the skin in response to UV light, is essential for strong bones.
But Vitamin P? It might well have you scratching your head. And that's not surprising: the term was first coined in the 1930s to describe a small group of compounds that provide pigment(天然色素) to plants, and were believed to have health benefits. Fast－forward almost a century and these compounds are now better known as flavonoids.
Today, scientists have identified between 4，000 and 6，000 different kinds and we now know they are responsible for many of the flavors and smells of fruit and vegetables and also that they protect them from invaders such as pests and bacteria.
They are equally important nutrients for the body, helping maintain bones and teeth, and for the production of the protein collagen(胶原), which provides structure to blood vessels, muscles and skin.
They are also said to help the body deal with some of the key drivers of illness, including oxidation(氧化), a natural process by which the body's cells age and can become damaged and defective(有缺陷的). That means they could help to protect against chronic diseases including cancer and heart disease.
(A)28. Which of the following best explains “rattle off” underlined in Paragraph 1? A. Quickly say. B. Quickly pass. C. Quickly find. D. Quickly take. 【解析】rattle sth off 的意思是一口气说出。从第一段后面出现的guess和much－talked－about 等词可以做出正确判断。
(D)29. What do we know about Vitamin P? A. We would scratch our head if we took it. B. It was made into a coin in the 1930s.
C. People didn't think it beneficial in the past.
D. It refers to the compounds also called flavonoids.
【解析】第二段It might well have you scratching your head. 是指它很有可能会让你挠头(冥思苦想)，故A选项错。the term was first coined in the 1930s是指这个术语是20世纪30年代被创造的，故B选项错。从were believed to have health benefits可知C选项错。从 these compounds are now better known as flavonoids可知D选项正确。
(B)30. How many functions of Vitamin P for humans are mentioned? A. Four. B. Three. C. Two. D. One.
【解析】第一种为： for the body, helping maintain bones and teeth；第二种为：for the production of the protein collagen(胶原)，which provides structure to blood vessels, muscles and skin；第三种为：They are also said to help the body deal with some of the key drivers of illness.That means they could help to protect against chronic diseases including cancer and heart disease.
(A)31. How does Vitamin P help slow the aging process? A. By dealing with oxidation. B. By maintaining bones. C. By strengthening muscle.
D. By protecting against chronic diseases.
【解析】从最后一段including oxidation(氧化), a natural process by which the body's cells age and can become damaged and defective(有缺陷的)，可知Vitamin P可帮助抗氧化。 D
I was in the middle of coding a web page when my wife emailed me these questions: Ever wonder what it would be like to have the face, the brains, the personality and the body? What it would be like to have everyone stop when you walk in a room? What it would be like to be able to get anything or anyone you want? I stopped for a moment and thought about it because my wife wouldn't email me this unless something had driven her to do so. I emailed her back with what I thought was a pretty good answer. Here is what I wrote her back.
Yes, I had thought many times about what it would be like to be one of the beautiful people. To be able to take your breath away when I walked into a room, or to be the life of the party and have everyone fawning(奉承) over me as I wore only the finest clothes and sported the perfect body? But then I always came back to the realization that a lifestyle like that is so fragile. As you get older, your body changes; as you get older, the money changes. Your body never looks the same; the clothes become more and more expensive to maintain. And once you have crossed the line, suddenly you are out. The next fresh face comes in and you are quickly forgotten.
All through growing up I was never an attractive person. I was overweight and picked on.
But that didn't stop me from being a nice person—a good, clean, funny and helpful person. I was the person who you came to when you needed a friend after a breakup. I was the one you came to when you needed a joke to brighten up your day. And in the long run, I will be the one you remember, not the new face, or the fresh style.
In closing, I would like to say that we, as people, have developed into looking for things that are bigger and better instead of what will last. I don't know about you, but I will remember the friend who helped me when I was down, more than the hot girl I just saw walking down the street.
I wish I could teach the world some more jokes.
(A)32. How did the author react to his wife's questions? A. He took them seriously. B. He went on coding the page. C. He replied to them right away.
D. He wondered why she had done so.
【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段倒数第二句I emailed her back with what I thought was a pretty good answer.可知，作者认真对待妻子提出的问题，故选A。
(C)33. What can we learn about the author? A. He cares much about appearance. B. He has a clever and beautiful wife. C. He is always ready to help others. D. He doesn't like beautiful women. 【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段But that didn't stop me from being a nice person—a good, clean, funny and helpful person. I was the person who you came to when you needed a friend after a breakup. I was the one you came to when you needed a joke to brighten up your day. 可知，作者是一个善良、干净、风趣、乐于助人的人，是一个在别人需要时能提供帮助的人。故选C。 (D)34. According to the text, the author would agree that one should ________．
A. try a new and fresh lifestyle
B. tell jokes to live a meaningful life C. wear fancy clothes to attract people D. be the person who brings joy to others
【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段I was the one you came to when you needed a joke to brighten up your day.和最后一段I wish I could teach the world some more jokes.可知，作者认为每个人应该成为给别人带来快乐的人，故选D。
(B)35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. What Is Wisdom? B. What Will Last? C. Three Questions D. Three Answers
【解析】主旨大意题。作者在给妻子的回信中谈到外表是暂时的，只有一个人善良、乐于助人的品质才是陪伴一生的东西。B项“什么将永久持续？”概括全文内容，且比其他几个更能吸引读者，故选B。
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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
