10、I was the director of operations at a consumer products company in San Francisco. One Friday afternoon, I was called into a meeting already in progress, which turned out to be my exit interview. I was fired , along with several others. I was 64 at the time. It wasnt completely unexpected. I signed a

11、 pile of papers, gathered my personal belongings, and left to join my wife who was waiting for me at a nearby restaurant, completely unaware of why I was fired. Fast-forward several hours, we both got silly drunk.So, 40 plus years of continuous employment for various companies was over. I had a good

12、 network- I thought Id be just fine. Anyhow, retirement was simply not an option for me. I had a good background. So I turned to consulting services for the next couple of years without any passion.And then an idea began to take root, born from my concern for our environment. I wanted to build my ow

13、n business, designing and manufacturing biodegradable(可生物降解的)packaging from waste. This is called clean technology, and it felt really meaningful to me. So at the age of 66, with 40 plus years of experience, I became an entrepreneur for the very first time.By handling issues like manufacturing , pat

14、ents, partnerships, funding,etc., I was on the track soon. Five years later, our profits have doubled every year, and we have no debt. Right now I am doing the most rewarding and meaningful work of my life. The Census Bureau says that by 2050 , there will be 84 million seniors in this country. Thats

15、 an amazing number. Thats almost twice as many as we have today. Can you imagine how many first-time entrepreneurs therell be among 84 million people?4. Why did the author get drunk that afternoon?A. He felt pleased with his retirement.B. He felt sad about his unemployment.C. He regretted resigning

16、his job. D. He got angry at his wifes unawareness. 5. What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 2?A. He had a good professional reputation.B. He used to be a person without passion.C. He became interested in consulting services soon.D. He thought he should have retired earlier.6.Why did t

17、he author choose clean technology as his business?A. He had much experience in it.B. He wanted to live a wealthy life.C. He cared about the health of the earth.D. He found a business opportunity in it. 7.What can we learn from the authors story?A. Age is a barrier to success. B. Old people can still

18、 make a difference. C. Good fortune may be from an actual blessing.D. Companies are good places to establish a working relationship.C Bighorn sheep migrate on long journeys, following a wave of green as plants come to life. Instinct doesnt teach this, but culture does.Large migrations are some of na

19、tures greatest scenes. Wildebeest and zebras chase the rains through the Mara ecosystem every year, monarch butterflies trace a path from Mexico to Canada and back, and tiny songbirds fly nonstop for days at a time. And now scientists are starting to figure out how they know where to go ,and when.Wi

20、ldlife researchers have long suspected that large mammals like bighorn sheep and moose require experience to migrate effectively, and their annual journeys are the result of learning from one another, not of genetic inheritance(遗传). The existence of collective information and knowledge, which can be

21、 passed from older animals to younger ones, is a form of culture, researchers explain. And when animals learn as a result of social interaction and the transfer of this information, thats a type of cultural exchange-as opposed to genetic inheritance.“The ungulate(有蹄类动物) that have been moved shouldnt

22、 migrate, because they wouldnt yet have learned a new migration route. The young are highly dependent on their mothers. For pretty much the first year of life, theyre basically following their mom around. So they are developing the memory of the migration route from their mothers,” says Kauffman.And

23、 of the 80 sheep having changed their location, only seven even attempted a migration, and these were individuals that had been in pre-existing herds of several hundred migrating sheep. This isnt to say that ungulates couldnt have some inborn motivation to seek out new opportunities. The issue is kn

24、owing how to do so while staying safe. “Knowing how to get from A to B usually involves crossing some habitats where there is a higher risk of predation, where maybe forage (饲料) conditions arent very good, so animals need to know where to go. That s the part that needs to be learned,” says Universit

25、y of Sherbrooke biologist Marco Festa-Bianchet.8. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?A. Summarize the previous paragraph.B. List some relevant examples. C. Describe one of natures scenes.D. Prove many animals are experienced in migrating.9. What conclusion can be drawn from what Kauffm

26、an says?A. Ungulates know the migration route naturally.B. Young ungulates are unable to learn migration skills.C. The ungulate learn to migrate properly by genetic inheritance.D. The ungulate learn how to migrate mainly from their mothers.10. What does the underlined word “predation” in the last pa

27、ragraph probably mean？A. Prediction. B. Connection. C. Being hunted. D. Being kept.11. What does the text mainly talk about ?A. Why scientists suspect the migration skills of the ungulate.B. How scientists do wildlife researches.C. How the ungulate migrate long distances.D. How the ungulate pass dow

28、n migration routes.D My tortoise is always glaring at me. Whether I am feeding him carrots, stroking his shell, or casually watching him from the distance, all I get in return is his lasting dull eyes. I couldnt find a satisfactory explanation. There is plenty of advice on how to keep a tortoise hea

29、lthy, but being healthy doesnt mean being happy. So , how do we know if our pets are content?Its a question that scientists have explored for centuries. In 1872, Charles Darwin published a whole book on the subject, indicating that humans and many animals express emotions in similar ways. “Whether i

30、t is true or not,” philosopher Thomas Negel said, “well never know.” In his paper what is it like to be a bat? Nagel wrote that even if we spent our days hanging upside down by our feet in an attic(阁楼)，its impossible to know how a bat feels not even Batman has that kind of inner access.But just beca

31、use we may not know how an animal feels, it doesnt mean they dont have feelings. Dolphins, cows, chimpanzees, dogs, and even squirrels have similar emotional processing centers in the brain as humans, so at the very least, they would experience basic emotions like fear, anger, grief, and joy. One gr

32、oup of scientists was so sure of this , they acknowledged that all mammals and birds and some invertebrates(无脊椎动物) are conscious creatures. Weve all witnessed heartfelt and grieved displays of animal emotions, like when Damini the elephant reportedly died of grief following the death of her partner

33、in the zoo. But some reject the concept of animal emotions completely, like John Watson, a well-known behaviorist. He claimed these reactive mental states were simply physical responses to stimuli(刺激).The opponents annoyed Marc Bekoff, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University

34、of Colorado, who says animals are undoubtedly emotional creatures just like people.“The real question is why these emotions have evolved,” he says. “One thing we have direct access to in both humans and non-humans is behavior. We can use it as a good measure of what animals are feeling.”12. Why does

35、 the author mention the tortoise in the first paragraph?A. To introduce the topic for discussion.B. To inform us that some animals are unfriendly.C. To express his preference for the pets.D. To tell us we should take good care of our pets.13. What can we learn from paragraph 3?A. We cannot feel anyt

36、hing about animals.B. Animals think the same way as humansC. Elephants death usually results from grief.D. Animals can deal with their emotions like humans do.14. Which might Marc Bekoff agree with according to the text?A. It is easy to know how animals feel. B. We should research what kind of anima

37、ls has feelings.C. We can know how animals feel through their behaviors. D. Animals behaviors are changing in the same way as humans do.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. How to keep a pet happy.B. Why do emotions evolve.C. Animals express emotions like humans. D. Can we really know if a

38、nimals are happy?第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项是多余选项。(每小题3分) When air travel started in the 20th century, it was very expensive. 16 As time went on, better planes were built. They were faster, quieter and could carry more people over longer distances. Flying was slowly becoming a means of t

39、ransportation that normal people could afford.In the 1960s and 1970s many airlines kept selling expensive tickets to their passengers. They offered a comfortable way of travelling which included free meals, friendly service and other luxuries. 17 Budget airlines offered tickets that were much cheape

40、r than those of other carriers. They managed this by cutting costs wherever they could.Running an airline is an expensive business. 18 An average passenger jet costs around $ 50 million to $100 million and a larger plane can cost up to $ 300 million and more. Pilots cost a lot of money, too. A pilot

41、 with ten years of experience may get a salary of $100,000 and more per year. Fuel costs cannot be calculated so easily because they change a lot depending on whether or not oil prices are up or down. 19 Many offer only one class of seats. They dont have a business class. Some of them do not reserve

42、 seats, so passengers can sit wherever they want. They also save on the number of crew members. Are budget airlines safe? A lot of people so not want to fly with budget airlines because they think they are unsafe. 20 In many cases, low cost carriers have modern fleets. They know that cutting costs o

43、n safety may drive them out of the business. And indeed many budget carriers have a very good safety record.A. However, this is not true. B. Budget airplanes are often late.C. The biggest cost is the plane itself.D. Airlines do many things to cut costs. E. In the 1980s a new type of airline appeared

44、. F. This saves money on repairs and training pilots.G.
