19、s became, more or less, my mothers surrogate children after her human children grew up and moved out and my father ran with a midlife crisis and left her. The one that was killed had bonded with my mother far more than the others.She is extremely shocked. I loved the dog, but my true sadness current

20、ly results from having to watch my mother bear another tragedy after everything she has been through in her life. In the midst of all of this, I have to sincerely applaud the driver of the vehicle, which feels wrong, but its not.Ill start by stating it was not his fault. The dog ran after a deer int

21、o the road at night. In an effort not to hit the deer with his car, he changed direction, not seeing the dog, resulting in its death. He could have very easily continued on his way, but he did something that I hope I never forget.In my eyes, he did the right thing. The driver pulled over, carefully

22、wrapped our dog in a blanket he got from his car to preserve its dignity, and carried it up to my mothers front door.He was visibly shaking and very upset.

23、ister rushed to her house. He left his information and offered assistance in any way he could.Yes, he is the man who hit and killed our dog accidentally. What he really did was spare my mother, and potentially my sister, from coming across a horrible scene themselves while searching for the dog. He

28、ndustrial complexes（建筑群） for the recycling of waste. The word “rubbish” could lose its meaning because everything which goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else. The latest project is to take a city of

29、 around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant（工厂） for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel,

30、lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well. Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting（分类整理） and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: First, it will pass through sharp metal bars (金属条) which will tear op

31、en the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan（风扇） to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that founders and rollers will break up everything that can be broken. Finally, the rubbish will pass under magnets (磁铁), which will rem

32、ove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage. The first full-scale giant recycling plants are perhaps fifteen years away.

Scientific Ways to Get EnergyB. The Location of Recycling Plants C. New Ways of Recycling Wastes D. Some

36、Methods to Protect the EnvironmentD People do various things after they get off work. However, the way you spend your free time can have a big impact on your mental health. Hobbies can help you relax and ease pent-up(郁结的) stress caused by all that time in the office or in front of the computer. But,

37、 interestingly, how you spend your free time can also impact your work performance. Researchers at the University of Sheffields Institute of Work Psychology in the UK found that developing hobbies can develop your confidence about how well you perform your job. But your hobby has to be significantly

38、 different from what you do from 9-to-5 work. To study the connection between work and leisure activities, researchers employed 129 people who worked and were active in hobbies like rock climbing, musical theater and singing. They had them complete surveys to see how serious and committed they were

39、to their hobbies and how demanding their jobs were. Then, each month for seven months, participants were asked how many hours they spent on their hobbies and how they rated their ability to perform at work. Researchers found that if people have hobbies similar to what they do at work and that they d

40、o in an intense way, their on the job confidence can suffer. Its likely because their work and leisure time have the same mental and physical demands, so theyre always feeling drained. In contrast, people who have hobbies different from their work are happier and healthier. This is also true of thos

41、e who choose a similar hobby but only participate in a lighthearted way. Those playful recreations act as a barrier between their professional and personal lives, giving them rest time to “recharge their batteries”, the researchers say. “When we feel like we have the confidence to handle challenges

42、in our jobs, we re more likely to be able to build a sustainable( 可持续的) job and remain healthy, productive, happy and employable over our lifetimes. Its important to consider how our leisure activities might play a role in that process,” lead researcher Ciara Kelly said in a statement.32. Why can yo

43、ur hobby improve your mental health? A. It surely improves your physical strength.B. It helps you to recover from your stress. . C. It enables you to behave more actively. D. It increases your willingness to work hard.33. Which of the following is advised according to paragraph 2? A. A basketball co

44、ach goes running. . B. A writer keeps a diary every day. C. A doctor sometimes climbs rocks. D. An e-game developer surfs the Internet. . 34. What does the underlined word “drained” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Tired. B. Worried. C. Unconfident. D. Disappointed.35. How can people benefit from ho

45、bbies similar to their work? A. Take them seriously. . B. Set strict schedules for them. C. Develop them into their business. D. Participate in them just for fun.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What is healthy aging? _36_ How you will feel as you get older depends on
