Jim Johnson, a mail carrier, was an institution in the leafy Westmoreland, Westhaven and Westover Hills neighborhoods. just north of downtown Wilmington, where he delivered much more than the mail. He knew all the kids and their pets by name; he carried in the groceries; he took note of unlocked doors, offered gardening advice, and taught more than a few young boys the art of the curveball. When he wasn't doing all that, Jim was running across a checkerboard of green lawns（草坪） to ensure the local postal service did not fall short of its daily promise.

吉姆·约翰逊（Jim Johnson）是一名邮递员，在绿树成荫的威斯特摩兰（Westmoreland）、威斯特海文（westthhaven）和韦斯特多佛山（Westover Hills）一带，他是一位知名人士。就在威尔明顿市中心的北部，在那里他不仅仅是投递邮件。他知道所有孩子和他们宠物的名字；他把杂货搬进来；他注意到那些没锁的门，提供园艺方面的建议，还教了几个小男孩曲球的艺术。当他不做这些事情的时候，他就会跑过绿色草坪的棋盘，以确保当地的邮政服务不会达不到每天的承诺。

Though the postal service is often disparaged now, the trust in local postal service lives on. In many communities, that trust is won every day when life-saving medicine, greetIng cards, social security checks, college acceptance letters-even the bills-appear in mailboxes in front of the houses.

虽然邮政服务现在经常被贬低，但人们对当地邮政服务的信任仍然存在。在许多社区，当救命药品、贺卡、社会保障支票、大学录取通知书——甚至账单——出现在屋前的邮箱里时，这种信任每天都在赢得。

After more than three decades, Jim approached his final days on the job much like any other. He drove a box y postal truck to North DuPont Road for the first unofficial stop of the day. Butch, a dog who belonged to one of the neighbors, was waiting just like every day before. And just like every day before, he got into the jump seat and they were off. On the route, Jim and Butch had become inseparable. Now, the dog and the mailman would ride off to retirement together. At every stop, Jim accepted the parting good wishes of families that had become his own. There were tears and laughter, and hugs filled with warm memories.

三十多年后，吉姆和其他人一样，接近了他工作的最后几天。他开着一辆邮车到北杜邦路，这是当天的第一个非正式停留。邻居的狗布奇就像每天一样在等着。就像之前的每一天一样，他坐进了弹跳座椅，他们就出发了。在路上，吉姆和布奇变得形影不离。现在，狗和邮递员将一起骑马退休。每到一站，吉姆都会接受那些已经成为他自己的家人的告别祝福。有泪水，有欢笑，有充满温暖回忆的拥抱。

It's been 33 years since Jim left the route, but we are still reminded of the deep bond established between community and letter carrier. That's what the postal service means to us.

吉姆离开这条路线已经33年了，但我们仍然记得社区和邮递员之间建立的深厚联系。这就是邮政服务对我们的意义。

Jane Jacobs spent her working life advancing a distinct vision of the city – in particular focusing on what makes a successful urban community. At the heart of her vision is the idea that urban life should be an energetic and rich affair, whereby people are able to interact with one another in dense （稠密） and exciting urban environments. She prefers disorder to order, walking to driving, and diversity to uniformity.

简·雅各布斯（Jane Jacobs）在她的职业生涯中推进了一个独特的城市愿景，尤其关注如何打造一个成功的城市社区。她的愿景的核心是，城市生活应该是充满活力和丰富的，人们可以在密集（稠）和令人兴奋的城市环境中相互交流。她喜欢无序胜过有序，喜欢走路胜过开车，喜欢多样性胜过一致性。

For Jacobs, urban communities are organic beings that should be left to grow and change by themselves and not be subject to the grand plans of so-called experts and officials. The best judges of how a city should be - and how it should develop - are the local residents themselves. Jacobs argues that urban communities are best placed to understand how their city functions, because city life is created and sustained through their various interactions.

对于雅各布斯来说，城市社区是有机的存在，应该让他们自己成长和改变，而不是受制于所谓的专家和官员的宏伟计划。一个城市应该是什么样子——以及它应该如何发展——最好的评判者是当地居民自己。雅各布斯认为，城市社区是了解城市功能的最佳场所，因为城市生活是通过各种互动创造和维持的。

Jacobs notes that the built form of a city is crucial to the life of an urban community, especially the sidewalks. The streets in which people live should be a tight pattern of crossed sidewalks, which allow people to meet, talk, and get to know one another. Such a complex but ultimately enriching set of encounters helps individuals know their neighbours and neighbourhood better.

雅各布斯指出，城市的建筑形式对城市社区的生活至关重要，尤其是人行道。人们居住的街道应该是交叉的人行道，这样人们就可以见面、交谈和相互了解。这种复杂但最终丰富的相遇有助于个人更好地了解他们的邻居和邻居。

Diversity and mixed-use of space are also, for Jacobs, key elements of this urban form. The commercial, business, and residential elements of a city should not be separated out but instead be side by side, to allow for greater integration of people. There should also be a diversity of old and new buildings, and people's interactions should determine how buildings get used and reused.

对雅各布斯来说，空间的多样性和混合用途也是这种城市形态的关键要素。一个城市的商业、商业和居住元素不应该分开，而应该肩并肩，让人们更好地融合在一起。还应该有新旧建筑的多样性，人们的互动应该决定建筑的使用和再利用方式。

Finally, urban communities grow better in places where a critical mass of people live, work, and interact. Such high-density spaces are, she feels, engines of creativity and vitality. They are also safe places to be, because the higher density means that there are more “eyes on the street”: shopkeepers and locals who know their area and maintain a close watch over the neighbourhood.

最后，城市社区在大量人口生活、工作和互动的地方发展得更好。她觉得，这样高密度的空间是创造力和活力的引擎。它们也是安全的地方，因为较高的人口密度意味着有更多的“街道上的眼睛”：店主和熟悉自己所在地区的当地人，他们密切关注着周围的环境。

28. What does Jacobs find most important for a successful urban community?

A. Efficient public transport. B. Strong interaction between people.

C. Uniform style of buildings. D. A comparatively large population.

29. Who does Jacobs think should make decisions on urban development?

A. Local residents. B. Government officials.

C. City planners.  D. Construction workers.

30. How does Jacobs suggest sidewalks be built?

A. Lined with plants. B. Painted with clear signs.

C. Tightly connected. D. Convenient for the old.

31. According to Jacobs, the “eyes on the street” bring a sense of _______.

A. pride B. comfort C. security  D. urgency

D

Want to learn a new language or get A's in college exams? Previous studies have shown that exercise can help stimulate the areas of the brain that convert （转换） new information into long-term memory. A new study has taken this information one step further and found the best time when exercise can help maximize learning.

想学一门新语言或在大学考试中得a ？先前的研究表明，运动可以帮助刺激大脑将新信息转化为长期记忆的区域。一项新的研究进一步证实了这一信息，并发现了锻炼可以最大限度地提高学习效果的最佳时间。

Building upon past research that found exercise releases biochemicals that improve mental function, scientists at Radboud University and the University of Edinburgh conducted a study to determine when exercise was most beneficial to learning.

内梅亨大学（Radboud University）和爱丁堡大学（University of Edinburgh）的科学家们在过去的研究基础上发现，运动释放的生化物质可以改善心理功能，他们进行了一项研究，以确定运动何时对学习最有益。

Participants – 72 healthy male and female adults – were first asked to perform a computer test that challenged their visual and spatial learning. After the test, all of the subjects watched nature documentaries, but two-thirds of them also exercised. Half of the exercisers did circuit training on an exercise bike for 35 minutes immediately after the test. The other half did the same exercise but not until four hours after they had been tested.

参与者——72名健康的男性和女性成年人——首先被要求进行一项电脑测试，挑战他们的视觉和空间学习能力。测试结束后，所有受试者都观看了自然纪录片，但其中三分之二的人也进行了锻炼。测试结束后，一半的锻炼者在自行车上进行了35分钟的循环训练。另一半则在测试结束四小时后做同样的练习。

Two days later, all of the participants returned to the lab for a recall test, and they were connected to MRI （磁共振成像） machines to assess their brain activity. The participants who exercised four hours after taking the computer test were able to recall what they had learned most accurately. Their brainwaves also showed more consistent levels of activity, indicating that their brains were less taxed to remember what they had learned.

两天后，所有的参与者回到实验室进行回忆测试，他们被连接到核磁共振成像（）机器来评估他们的大脑活动。参加电脑测试四小时后进行锻炼的参与者能够最准确地回忆起他们所学的内容。他们的脑电波也显示出更一致的活动水平，这表明他们的大脑在记忆所学知识方面的负担更少。

According to this research, the best time to exercise to improve learning is four hours after studying. But why? That's one question the researchers have yet to answer. Another question left unanswered is the level of exercise that might best improve learning. I've run enough marathons to prove the fact that my brain is anything but sharp during or after a tough workout. But the researchers noted that light workouts might not give the brain enough of a biochemical boost to improve learning.

根据这项研究，提高学习能力的最佳锻炼时间是学习后的四个小时。但是为什么呢?这是研究人员尚未回答的一个问题。另一个悬而未决的问题是，锻炼的程度可能是提高学习效果的最佳方式。我跑了足够多的马拉松来证明我的大脑在剧烈运动期间或之后一点也不敏锐。但研究人员指出，轻度锻炼可能无法给大脑提供足够的生化促进来提高学习能力。

32. What did the new study aim to explore?

A. When exercise is best for learning.  B. What biochemicals are good for health.

C. How brainwaves should be measured. D. Which area of the brain is the most active.

33. What were all the participants asked to do during the experiment?

A. Train on bicycles.  B. Do mathematics exercises.

C. Play computer games.  D. Watch films about nature.

34. Why did the participants return to the lab two days later?

A. To do a medical examination.  B. To have their memory tested.

C. To get their workouts recorded.  D. To finish their previous tasks.

35. What might the author's marathon running prove?

A. The findings of the study are reliable. B. Long-distance runners are often smart.

C. Studies on the marathon are not enough. D. Hard exercise may not sharpen the brain.

Today, more than 70 countries have included the Chinese language in their education systems. Chinese plays an increasingly important role in   63   （improve） communication and cooperation between China and   64   rest of the world. As more and more foreigners start to study the Chinese language and experience Chinese culture, the world will have a better understanding of China and its rich history, its hard-working people, its development through   65   （innovate）, and its inclusiveness. China, on its part, will also embrace （拥抱） the world with greater openness and make new contributions to the international community.

In 2010, the UN Department of Global Communications instituted language days for each of the organization's six official languages. The goal was two-fold: to celebrate cultural diversity as well as to promote the equal use of all six tongues.

2010年，联合国全球传播部为该组织的六种正式语文设立了语言日。其目的有两个：一是庆祝文化多样性，二是促进六种语言的平等使用。

Language is the carrier of communication, the bridge of interaction between nations, and the bond of understanding among civilizations. At the same time, a language and its individual written forms make up the “soul” of a national tradition. Every language is worthy of respect and should be treated equally.

语言是交流的载体，是民族交往的桥梁，是文明交流的纽带。同时，一种语言及其独特的文字形式构成了一个民族传统的“灵魂”。每一种语言都值得尊重，都应该平等对待。The UN Chinese Language Day not only provides a unique platform for the world to better understand China, but also promotes language and cultural exchanges in the world.

联合国汉语日不仅为世界更好地了解中国提供了一个独特的平台，而且还促进了世界语言和文化的交流。

Today, more than 70 countries have included the Chinese language in their education systems. Chinese plays an increasingly important role in improving communication and cooperation between China and the rest of the world. As more and more foreigners start to study the Chinese language and experience Chinese culture, the world will have a better understanding of China and its rich history, its hard-working people, its development through innovation, and its inclusiveness. China, on its part, will also embrace （拥抱） the world with greater openness and make new contributions to the international community.

如今，已有70多个国家将汉语纳入其教育体系。汉语在促进中国与世界的交流与合作中发挥着越来越重要的作用。随着越来越多的外国人开始学习汉语，体验中国文化，世界将更好地了解中国及其丰富的历史，勤劳的人民，创新的发展和包容性。中国也将以更加开放的姿态拥抱世界，为国际社会作出新的贡献。

第二节（满分25分）

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。

I was in Philadelphia for a conference when I saw an ad in the hotel. A nearby theater was showing a documentary （纪录片） about several local animal shelters that were helping to save abandoned dogs across the country. I love animals, and I felt an urge to go to this fundraising event. However, none of my co-workers would go with me, and I was worried about walking on the street alone at night.

我在费城参加一个会议时看到了酒店里的一则广告。附近的一家剧院正在放映一部纪录片，讲述了几个当地的动物收容所在全国范围内帮助拯救被遗弃的狗。我喜欢动物，我有一种冲动想去参加这个筹款活动。然而，我的同事都不愿意和我一起去，我很担心晚上一个人走在街上。

I resigned myself to spending the evening in my hotel room, but as soon as I got back to my room I felt restless and bored. The theater where the event was taking place was only about five blocks from the hotel, and the area around the hotel didn't seem particularly dangerous. So, I decided to brave it. I gathered up my wallet and room key and set off.

我只好在酒店房间里过了一个晚上，但一回到房间，我就感到烦躁和无聊。举行活动的剧院距离酒店只有五个街区，酒店周围的区域似乎并不特别危险。所以，我决定勇敢面对。我收拾好钱包和房间钥匙就出发了。

It was already getting dark and the streets were nearly deserted. I managed to find the street the theater was on, but when I turned the corner, I stopped in shock. In front of the theater were a group of bikers-very big, tough-looking bikers.

天已经黑了，街上几乎没有人。我设法找到了剧院所在的街道，但当我转过街角时，我震惊地停了下来。剧院前面有一群骑自行车的人——块头很大，样子很凶。

I've known lots of motorcycle enthusiasts and most are nice people. However, in this case, I was a woman all alone, in a strange neighborhood, at night, and there were twenty or so very large men-all wearing insignia（徽章） that indicated they were in some sort of club- standing before me. Warning bells began to sound in my head, and my heart was pounding. Was I at the right theater? Had I misread the date of the event?

我认识很多摩托车爱好者，大多数人都很好。然而，在这种情况下，我是一个女人，独自一人，在一个陌生的社区，在晚上，有二十个左右的大个子男人站在我面前，他们都戴着徽章，表明他们在某个俱乐部。我的脑子里开始响起警钟，我的心怦怦直跳。我走对剧院了吗？是我看错了活动的日期吗？A sign outside the theater told me that I was in the right place on the right evening. Nevertheless, I wondered if I should rush back to my hotel instead of walking through that crowd of bikers. I finally decided that I would be safer inside the theater. Hopefully, the bikers would have gone away by the time the film was over.

剧院外的指示牌告诉我，我在正确的夜晚来到了正确的地方。尽管如此，我还是想知道我是否应该赶回酒店，而不是穿过那群骑自行车的人。我最后决定我待在剧院里会更安全。希望在电影结束的时候，那些骑自行车的人已经离开了。

I hurried into the theater, only to find there were even more bikers inside. They filled most of the seats and were chatting loudly. l felt a bit panicked and quickly found an empty seat in a corner trying to make myself as inconspicuous as possible. l was still nervous, constantly glancing at them,wondering what would happen next

我匆匆走进电影院，却发现里面骑自行车的人更多了。他们坐满了大部分座位，大声地聊天。我感到有点惊慌，赶紧在角落里找了个空座位，尽量不引人注意。我还是很紧张，不停地看他们，想知道接下来会发生什么

When the film began, l realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group. They quieted down and watched intently. They were actually the ones who had been helping the shelters. I felt so relieved and ashamed of my earlier misjudgment. l was glad i didn't turn ba~k and got to know these kind-hearted people through this special event.

当电影开始时，我意识到这些骑自行车的人是一个动物救援组织。他们安静下来，聚精会神地看着。他们实际上是帮助避难所的人。我感到如释重负，并为我之前的错误判断感到羞愧。我很高兴我没有变坏，通过这次特别的活动认识了这些善良的人。
