阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

Rain beat against the window, matching my mood. I should have known that my new job at the hospital was too good to be true. Throughout the day, rumors (传言) warned that the newest employee from each department would be laid off. I was the newest one in the training department.

M y boss appeared. “You probably know we’re cutting back,” he said. “Administration wants us to offer outplacement classes to help those employees find other jobs, showing them how to act in an interview, for example.” “Fine,” I answered unwillingly, not knowing what else to say.

I decided to go home early that day. In the hall, I met the lady who brought us cookies every Friday. She was a little woman with gray hair. Only her head and the top of her green apron were visible over the cart (小车) loaded with cleaning supplies. At least she had a job!

At the final meeting, laid-off workers f ormed a line at the door. A colleague whispered, “I can’t believe our Cookie Lady is being laid of f. We’ll miss her as much as we’ll miss her cookies.” Whe n the colleague spoke to her in Spanish,I knew my classes would be useless for her and I realized how much better off was than this poor woman.

I decided to do something for her.I wrote to a newspaper expressing how I felt about t he unselfishness of the Cookie Lady who needed a job. A few days later, my article appeared in the newspaper and the Cookie Lady was allowed to stay in her position.On the same day,I receiveda letter, which seemed so unlikely that I read it twice.“An editor of alocal magazinelikes your pie ce and wants you to call her next time you’re looking for work…”

A.Nervous.

B.Excited.

C.Awkward.

D.Proud.

22.What was the author asked to do?

A.Takecare of patients.

B.Leave earlier that day.

C.Resign from the hospital.

23.How did the author help the Cookie L ady?

B.He gave her advice on job hunting.

C.He made her story known to others.

D.He taughther how to passaninterview.

24.What does the story tell us?

A.Good deeds have their rewards.

B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.

D.Love brings more joy to people than work does.

B

At your next meeting, wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts.

Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most. But while this patternmay be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures.

What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuablemoment of reflection and sign of respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feeluneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds—nearly twice as long as in Americans’ meetings.

In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you don’t speak at all. It’s already afailure to understand each other by speaking because you’re repairing that failure by us ing words.

In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial (殖民地) America as a crossroads of many different races. When you have a complex of difference, it’s hard to establish common understandingunless you talk and there’s understandably a ki nd of anxiety unless people are verbally engagedto establish a common life. This applies also to some extent to London.

In contrast, when there’s more homogeneity, perhaps it’s easier for some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest fri ends and family it’s easier to sit in silence than with people you’reless well acquainted with.

25. Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation?

26.What might the Japanese agree with in a conversation?

A.Speaking more gives the upper hand.

B.Speak out what you have in your mind.

C.Great minds think alike without words.

D.The shorter talking silence, the better.

27.What can we learn from the text?

A.A four second silence in conversation is universal.

B.It’s hard for American s to reach a common agreement.

C.English speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakers.

D.The closer we and our family are, the easier the silence app ear s.

28.What does the underlined word “homogeneity”in the last parag raph mean?

A.Similarity.

B.Contradiction.

C.Diversity.

D. Misunderstanding.

Next month, I’m traveling to a remote area of Central Africa and my aim is to know enoughLingala—one of the local languages —to have a conversation. I wasn’t sure how I was going tomanage this—until I discovered a way to learn all the vocabulary I’m going to need.Thanks toMemrise, the app I’m using. It feels just like a game.

“People often stop learning things because they feel they’re not making prog ress or because it allfeels like too much hard work,” says Ed Cooke, one of the people who created Memrise. “We’retrying to create a form of learning experience that is fun and is something you’d want to do instead of watching TV.”

Memrise gives you a few new words to learn and these are “seeds” which you plant in your“greenhouse”. When you practice the words, you “water your plants”. When the app believes that you have really remembered a word, it moves the word to your “garden”. And if you forget to log on (登录)，the app sends you emails that remind you to “water your plants”.

The app uses two principles about learning.The first is that people remember things better whenthey link them to a picture in their mind. Memrise translates words into your own language, but it alsoencourages you to use “mems”. For example,I memorized motele, the Lingala word for “engine”, using a mem I

The second principle is that we need to stop after studying words and then repeat them again

later, leaving time between study sessions. Memrise helps you with this, because it’s the kind of appyou only use for five or ten minutes a day.

I’ve learnt hundreds of Lingala words with Memrise. I know this won’t make me a fluent s peaker, but I hope I’ll be able to do more than j ust smile when I meet people in Congo. Now, I need to go and water my V ocabulary!

29. What does Ed Cooke make an effort to do with Memrise?

A.Create memorable experiences.

B.Make progress with hard work.

C.Master languages through games.

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/6b14283114.html,bine study with entertainment.

30. What do the underlined words “water your plants”in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Learning new words.

B.Being a Memrise user.

C.Logging on to the app.

D.Taking care of your garden.

31. How does Memrise work?

A. By linking different mems together.

B.By pu tt ing knowledge into practice.

C.By offering human translation services.

D.By applying an associative memory approach.

32. What is the author’s attitude towards Memrise?

A. Positive.

B.Doubtful.

C.Uncaring.

D.Disapproving.

Shopping for and choosing clothes is challenging enough. But imagine if you were unable touse your arms to do anything, or used a wheelchair.

The conditions are reality for four people who became the“customers”of 15 students at ParsonsSchool

customers’ unique requirements as part of a class run by Open Style Lab, a nonprofitorganization whose aim is to design functional and fashionable clothing for people with disabilities.

“Disability overlaps (关联、一致) with aging and universal design,” said Grace Jun, the director of the program.“We need to see it as part of our life cycle. It’s something that we need to not only see from a human rights standpoint but also for its economic value.”

“I’m always looking at me being the problem and the clothing as being OK,” said Kieran Kern,who gets around in a wheelchair. When Ms.Kern approached Open Style Lab, she was looking for acoat that would be easy to put on with the limitations of a weaker body. Her team came up with a design with a circular rod (杆) that runs through the collar and allows Ms. Kern to swing the coat across her back with one hand.

“The idea of having a coat that sees the parts that make me as just parts and not as a problem that Ineed to solve was really liberating in an identity sense,” Ms.Kern said. “Because generally, when youhave a different body, you don’t really see yourself.”

“I think the challenges the students faced throughout the course had a lot to do with the exchange of ideas,” Ms. Jun said. “They were able to understand that no two people with a disability are alike. Being able to design uniquely means you have to have a collaborative (合作) process. We’re designing with each other, not for.”

33.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Aging.

B.Disability.

C.Design.

D.The program.

34. What did the students find challenging according to Ms.Jun?

A.Creativity in fashion design.

B.Interpersonal communication.

C.Making clothing part of a wearer.

D.Meeting the needs of the disabled.

35. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Open Style Lab

B.A new fashion industry

D.Designs that do more than meet the eye

Spreading smiles at Birchwood

When Ava McCarver was in kindergarten, her class visited a nursing home (疗养院). Ava learned that many of the residents (住户) there receive few visitors. 36 “I asked my mom if I could visit them,” she says. Soon, Ava and her mom became volunteers at Birchwood Health Care Center.

That was six years ago.37 She enjoys hanging out with Mary, Shirley and otherresidents during her twice-monthly visits.“I paint their nails,and I talk to a lot of them,”she says.

a craft fair.She has also collected used puzzles from garage sales and d onate d them to Birchwood.

Birchwood used that money to buy furniture for the residents.

Ava says she enjoyed the look of “pure joy”on a resident’s face after a hug from her.That’s why she started visiting Birchwood—to bring happiness to others.40 “It’s re ally fun,”she says. “T hey have good stories,and I enjoy my time there.”

Text 10

Have you heard of the Golden Rule?(17)The great Chinese philosopher Confucius taught thisprinciple.It is a very important and well-known idea.The rule says not to do anything to otherpeople that you would not want them to do to you.(17)It is a very simple yet deep truth. Confucius possessed a lot of important wisdom like this.He encouraged many values like childrenrespecting elders,people respecting their ancestors,and wives respecting husbands. H e desired forthese moral principles in people’s lives and in the government of the country. (18) He believed that people should develop their own personal rules instead of simply memorizing rules of behaviorto follow.He also had a thoughtful way of teaching. Instead of

himselfstudied hard and sought truth,dreams and a perfect personality.In short,Confucius aimed to establish a world of great harmony.For over two thousand years,his teachings and beliefs still have a great effect on Chinese culture.Many other cultures around the world have also been influenced to this day by these important moral teachings.(20)
