Billboard Music Awards of the Year 2015 goes to Taylor Swift, a singer-songwriter, who has shaped and inspired the American music industry with her success.
When Taylor Swift first came to public notice, she was a 17-year-old newcomer who loved singing to her own guitar. She was far more enthusiastic than skilled, but apparently threw spark
of superb talent.
Four years later, Swift has become a multi-awards winner, with the biggest selling albums. For her consummate performance, Taylor Swift was named Billboard magazine’s woman in 2011．She is the youngest artist to receive honors and several Billboard Music Awards, among them Top Country Album for the five-time platinum(白金) selling Speak Now, her third album that was released that year.

Swift is used to breaking chart records and winning honors since her career started. She followed that up in 2008 with Fearless, which established her as a skilled songwriter with several hits, including Love Story, You Belong With Me and White Horse.
Not surprisingly, the 6-time platinum Fearless is the most awarded album in country music history in the US and her overall worldwide sales now reach 20 million albums and 40 million songs downloads．Swift has spent the past year on the Speak Now World Tour in support of her third album, and now she’s getting ready to go further.
According to a recent interview with The New Yorker magazine, Swift has so far written about 10 songs for a 2016 album. She said the new album is about feelings of growing up and becoming an adult.

As anyone who freelances(做自由职业)knows, there are lots of advantages of working at home alone. But there are drawbacks too, like the potential loneliness. No wonder co-working spaces are becoming so popular: they permit self-employed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment, while making them get some work done too. But renting a co-working space does cost money.
Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people’s under-used homes into temporary co-working spaces, available to freelancers for free. Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together. It was a great success, and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe, North and South America, Australia, India and Japan. Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free co-working space, or go find a Hoffice near them.
On a Hoffice day, everyone arrives and starts work at a certain hour. After 45 minutes, everyone gets up to take a break, stretch, do qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes. Afterwards, people can gather around again, and re-state their intentions and goals for the rest of the work day, as a way to motivate I each other. Meals can be eaten together at a certain hour, potluck-style(家常饭)or by bringing your own lunch.
This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment. As some freelancers describe, “By working at Hoffice, we give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment, where we are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs. We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calm, happy,
inspired and creative during the working day.”
So Hoffice is not just about sharing space; it's also about a free exchange of ideas．And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use． 25. Hoffice was started to________
A. change people’s attitude to work B. encourage people to be more social C. improve people’s working conditions D. provide a co-working space for free 26. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. How people respond to Hoffice B. How a Hoffice day works. C. What people share at Hoffice D. What Hoffice means to people
27. Some freelancers’ descriptions of Hoffice suggest that they________ A. benefit a lot from the working style B. work longer than before C. expect more people to join them D. can’t be separated from each other
28. What do we know about Hoffice according to the text? A. It is becoming increasingly popular B. It has been around for quite a few years C. It has created many new job opportunities D. It is suitable for people from all walks of life

If asked if space exploration should continue, most Americans would give an immediate response either in favor of continuing or in favor of ending space exploration. A common response would be that space exploration is a waste of money. An average American, uneducated on the subject, might believe that the government is wasting billions of dollars on the research that has no value. Someone strange to the subject might say that a space shuttle goes up once in a while and that is about all that happens. Research is ongoing and continues when there are no shuttles being launched. This also costs the government money. Does the extreme cost of space exploration make sense?
One argument is that the government is wasting money on the research not being used on Earth. Actually, the money goes to workers and scientists that support National Aeronauties and Space Administration(NASN)missions, and goes to major companies that play important roles in major sectors of the US economy. Boeing is a partner of NASA for aircraft, the same company that makes commercial aircraft for the airline industry.
Another benefit to continuing space exploration is the many technologies it provides. The artificial(人造的)heart resulted from experiments on the space shuttle. The handheld Jaws of Life used to save victims from ear accidents resulted from the system used to separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets. Insulation(隔热板)in homes that keeps them warm and energy efficient is based on the technology used to insulate the space shuttle.
There are direct benefits to the economy provided by NASA missions as well as those technologies. These advances are found in food, building materials, medical procedures and the vehicles we drive. While it can be proven that billions of dollars that could be used elsewhere is being spent on space exploration, the benefits it provides outweigh the terrible aspects. As a matter of fact, the money spent helps to improve the quality of our lives. 32. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed? A. By offering analyses.
B. By making comparisons.
D. France.
C. By giving some examples. 33. The function of Jaws of Life is to_____. A. save people from traffic accidents. B. do experiments on the space shuttle
D. By presenting research findings.
C. keep houses warm and energy efficient
D. separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets. 34. In the author’s opinion, space exploration______. A. has changed out life completely C. benefits us in many ways 35. What would be the best title for the text? A. Benefits of space exploration B. Is space exploration worth the cost? C. How to make space exploration affordable D. Missions of the NASA space shuttle program 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
