B Surviving Hurricane Sandy（飓风桑迪）
Natalie Doan, 14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.
On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridge closed.
When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.
In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.
“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it.”
Natalie’s choice was to help.
She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.
In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.
Today, the scars（创痕）of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.”

B.A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Technology is power. C Yellow is usually the color of happy, joyful emotions ( 情 感 ). But according to a new study, not all people associate the sunshiny shade with good feelings.
To find out what factors might play a role, researchers tested a new hypothesis ( 假 设 ) : What if people's physical surroundings affect their feelings about certain colors? For example, if someone lived in cold and rainy Finland, would they feel differently about the color yellow from someone who lived near the Sahara Desert?
The researchers looked at color-emotion data from an ongoing international survey (调查) of 6 ,625 people in 55 countries. The survey asked participants to rate 12 colors on how closely they were associated with feelings including joy, pride, fear, and shame.
The researchers paid particular attention to the data for yellow, and analyzed how different factors ----- including hours of sunshine, hours of daylight, and the amount of rainfall — lined up with the emotions people reported for the color. The two best predictors of how people felt about yellow were the annual amount of rainfall, and how far they lived from the equator (赤道).
Overall, people were more likely to associate yellow with joy when they lived in rainier countries that lay farther from the equator, researchers reported in the Journal of Environmental Psychology. In Egypt, the likelihood of yellow being associated with joy was just 5.7%,whereas in chilly Finland it was 87.7%. In the United States, with its mild climate and amber waves of grain, people's yellow joy association levels were between 60% and 70% .
The researchers also checked whether associations changed with the season ----- whether，for example，people
in a certain country liked yellow more in the winter than they did in the summer. They found that opinions about color remained fairly constant year-round ----- even when the weather changed, the data on yellow-joy associations were as good as gold.
28. What did the researchers do before the survey? A. They went to Finland.
B. They made an assumption. B. She took care of younger children. D. She built an information sharing platform. B. her neighborhood was destroyed D. the elderly were free from suffering
. 25. According to paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most?
C. They studied certain colors. A. The changeable seasons. C. The geographic position. A. By interviewing participants. C. By travelling around the world. 31. What can be the best title of the text? A. Finland: A Country Admiring Yellow.
B. Yellow: Associated with Joy Conditionally.
C. Color: An Important Role in Good Feelings. D. Color-emotion Data: Collected Internationally.
D. They analyzed some data. B. The length of daytime. D. The amount of snowfall. B. By studying the data collected. D. By looking at color combinations.
29. Which of the following affects people's feelings about yellow?
30. How did the researchers carry out the survey?
D Royal Dutch Shell is launching a $ 300 million and forestry program, at a time when an increasing number of oil companies are putting money in carbon offset (碳补偿) plans to meet climate goals. The company will spend the money over the next three years on projects to store carbon , including large forests in the Netherlands and Spain, and will start offering motorists the option of purchasing carbon offsets when they buy petrol at the pump.
The executives of the company explained that these carbon offset projects were a new business opportunity for Shell, as well as a way to meet its climate targets. “We believe that over time we will be building a business, because these carbon credits will become more valuable as carbon becomes more limited,\decided to cut its net carbon footprint (碳排放) by 2-3 percent in five years, which includes emissions (排放) from the products it sells. The company plans to produce carbon credits from the forestry projects, then sell these credits on to customers buying its oil and gas products, or apply the credits to its own operations to lower its carbon footprint.
Plants absorb carbon dioxide as they grow and restoring forests and other natural areas is considered one of the simplest ways to store carbon. However, the voluntary market for carbon credits based on forestry projects has its critics, as projects in developing countries can be hard to monitor. Shell's move has also been criticized by some environmentalists. They worried that there was a risk of “green wash\when companies invested in forestry projects. \pointing out that planting in one area could cause deforestation (滥伐森林) to another.
Shell said it would rely on the third party to ensure its forest program to meet the Voluntary Carbon Standard and strict biodiversity requirements. Mark Lewis, head of climate change investment research at BNP Paribas, said,\direction. 32. What is popular among oil companies these days?
A. Studying climate changes. C. Working out carbon offset plans.
B. Launching forestry programs. D. Attracting motorists to buy their petrol.
33. How will Shell Company make profits from its carbon offset projects?
A. By quitting the emissions of its products. B. By reducing its carbon footprint by a quarter. C. By limiting the oil used by its own operations.
