第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35分） 第一节（共10个小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）

A

Kyle MacDonald had a red paper clip (回形针) and a dream: Could he barter that

paper clip for something better, and trade that thing for something else—and so on until he had a house?

MacDonald had spent years delivering pizzas and working other part-time jobs. He paid his rent by occasionally promoting products at trade shows. But he longed for a house, which he knew he could not afford.

He advertised it in the barter section of Craigslist.org. MacDonald said merely that he wanted something bigger or better for his red paper clip. No mention of a house.

While he was visiting his hometown of Vancouver, two women gave him a fish-shaped pen for the paper clip. Later that day, MacDonald headed to Seattle to catch a flight home. Before the airport, though, he stopped to see Annie Robbins, an artist who answered MacDonald’s posting. MacDonald left her home the proud owner of a small door knob.

Next up was Shawn Sparks, who was packing up to move from Amherst to Alexandria. Sparks offered MacDonald a camping stove. Sparks had two, and didn't want to carry both on his move. And he needed a new knob for his coffee machine. The men celebrated with a barbecue at Sparks’ house.

MacDonald gave the camping stove to an officer, getting a generator in return. MacDonald exchanged the generator for an “instant party package”. The beer package went to a Montreal DJ, in exchange for a snowmobile.

Now his blog, http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com, was attracting attention, and MacDonald was invited onto Canadian television. Our wandering man was asked if there was anywhere he wouldn’t go to trade the snowmobile. He said: Yahk (a small village in the Rockies).

A snowmobiling magazine offered an expense-paid trip to Yahk in exchange for the snowmobile. The trip went to Bruno Taillefer, manager for a supply company. He got headquarters to let him give MacDonald a van that he had been planning to sell.

MacDonald gave the van to a musician. In turn, the musician, who works at a Toronto recording studio, arranged a recording contract. MacDonald handed the contract to Jody Gnant, a singer in Phoenix who owns a duplex (双单元住房).

And that is how Kyle MacDonald has turned a paper clip into a year of shelter in the desert.

Where it goes now, who knows? He says he has offers from Hollywood studios to turn his story into a film. Asked what he has learned from all this, he responded: “If you say you’re going to do something and you start to do it, and people enjoy it or

respect it or are entertained by it, people will step up and help you.” 21. How did MacDonald barter his paper clip for something bigger or better?

A. By traveling.

B. On television. C. At trade shows.

D. Via the Internet.

22. When he left Annie Robbins’ house, MacDonald felt ______.

A. pleasurably satisfied C. greatly honored

23. The reason why MacDonald adopted such a strange way to achieve his dream is that he______?

A. was capable of cheating kind people B. had to promote all kinds of products C. could not afford to buy a big house D. wanted something bigger and better

B

At first sight, Elana Schlenker’s pop-up store, Less Than 100, which was open in Pittsburgh during the month of April appeared just like any other gift store. However, when shoppers went to pay, they were in for a surprise. That's because while men paid full price, women received a 24% discount.

Though that may appear to be blatant (公然的) discrimination, Elana was merely obeying the store’s slogan “pay what you are paid”. And since women in the US get paid an average of 76 cents for every dollar men earn for the same job, it is only fair that they pay less.

As the store’s pricing policy was not enough to get the message across, Elana also distributed pamphlets(小册子). Entitled “What Are Women Worth?”, it explained the status of the wage gap both in Pennsylvania and across the country, and also gave women tips on how to better negotiate salaries. A 2015 study conducted by the Institute for Women’s Policy Research found that although the rate of women’s

B. personally respected D. extremely excited
