(2016·北京海淀模拟) Twelve years agoe situation to be in.
Once my limited funds ran out I became homeless and spent a year and a half living on the streets of Orlando.Apart from feeling not being noticed and missing my family,I had to face another challenge—hunger.
For the first time in my life,I,as a foreign man,who had lived my life in the relative comfort of the middle class,understood the desperation someone feels when they don't get enough to eat.I clearly remembered having run a distance of more than 7 miles on many occasions just to make it to a local feeding programme before they closed at 7 pm.
Once the need for food was met,the next challenge would arise—where to find a place to sleep for the night.Fortunately,local programmes like the Coalition for the Homeless,Second Harvest Food Bank and the Wayne Densch Centre were an important part of my ability to survive my painful experience.
With the assistance of these programmes,I was accepted by a college scholarship programme through the Coalition and obtained two degrees from Valencia.
My experience has helped me understand that devoting my life to helping others offers lasting rewards.Today,I am employed as Childhood Hunger Programmes Manager at Second Harvest Food Bank and oversees the summer feeding,Hi-Five Kids Pack(分配) food resources to those wonderful programmes and help hundreds more like me.【语篇解读】 本文为记叙文讲述了作者在陌生的地方的经历与感受1.What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?

In
parts
of
the
Arctic,entire
forests
are
moving northward . Across the Arctic,temperatures are rising faster
than anywhere else in the world.As that happens,the tree line that marks where forests stop and the treeless tundra (冻原) starts has been shifting northward.Trees growing along the tree line must protect themselves from the cold wind.To do this(水平的) branches low to the ground.The energy it takes for trees to grow this way means they don't have enough energy to make seeds.ppens especially in places where white spruce (白云杉) grows.-blown seeds end up on the tundra beyond the tree linehey eventually can sprout (发芽) new trees.This explains how a forest can move.Of courseping the sun's rays from making the
white surface disappear.Instead,the trees absorb the sun's heat.This warms the surrounding air.The extra warmth encourages even more trees to produce seeds.That further boosts a forest's ability to expand.In
addition,more
trees
will
trap
more
snow,preventing much of it from being blown away. Snow can trap heat in the soil below,which encourages trees to grow.The recent rise of temperatures has helped more trees grow past the tree line.People worry about impacts on the animals that depend on frozen conditions for food and shelter.

has
become
an
increasingly important factor in a great many careers. You find these careers in engineering,in production,in statistical work,and in teaching.But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance,but perhaps do not know too much about any field.There is,in other words,a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees,of making general judgments.We can call these people “generalists”.And these “generalists”
are
particularly
needed
for
positions
in administration,where it is their job to see that other people do the work,and where they have to plan for other people,to organize other people's work,and to begin it and judge it.
The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools.He is a “trained” man,and his educational background is properly technical or professional.The generalists and especially the administrators deal with people; his concern is with leadership,with planning,and with direction-giving.He is an “educated”manzation needs both kinds of people,though different organizations need them in different proportions.It is your task to find out,during your training period,into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit,and to plan your career accordingly.
Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you but this is pure accident.Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job.At the same time,you must not look upon the first job as the final job;it is primarily a training job【语篇解读】 本文为说明文。文章主要介绍了当前就业市场所需要的两种人才即专业人才和全能9.Nowadays,there is an increasing demand for ________.A.people

It doesn't look like the heart of a green revolution.The huge chimneys stick up above the line of pine trees and don't make for the most scenic view as you wander around the clear blue waters of the nearby lake.
But it is this power plant that has helped the small Swedish city of Vaxjo become arguably the greenest place in Europe.On closer observation,the only thing emerging from the chimneys is the faintest mists of steam.And inside it smells more like a sauna (桑拿) than a furnace (炉子).That's because it is not oil fuelling the plant also supplies 90 percent of this southern Swedish town with heating and hot water.
The gases produced as the wood burns are changed into liquid form,and are purified before they reach the chimney.And instead of wasting this liquid,the power plant pumps it around town.Some runs out of the town's public taps; the rest is directed through pipes that run through individual heaters,warming homes and offices.
The pile of wood chipping in the yard towers above head height and takes almost five minutes to walk around.That's enough to keep Vaxjo warm on the snowiest days in winter,or supply it with hot water for a fortnight in summer,and it's a good way of using the paper industry's waste.As well as the centuries-old Swedish policy of planting a new tree for every one felled(肥料).(可持续的) development on the continent.
However,it is not just the citizen's consciences and moral histories to which the town's current-day authorities are appealing. They know how to talk to their wallets too.Oil-generated electricity costs about 16(£1) a year per person,while the new power plant's electricity comes in at two thirds of the price.
They've been planning for over ten years to become a “Fossil Fuel Free City”.But according to Anders Franzen,the head of planning and development department at the city council,“The battle in the energy sector has been won,yes,but the next battleground is transport.”
